Chapter 2272
A Plan to Turn the Tide
Yan Bugui's actions once again shattered Ran Qiuye's worldview.
She knew that Yan Bugui was stingy, and she also knew that because of his stinginess, his sons were not filial to him.
A few years ago, Yan Bugui lost money and had to resort to collecting scraps.
Ran Qiuye believed that after experiencing so much, Yan Bugui would reflect and change.
She never imagined that Yan Bugui had not changed at all, but had become even more ruthless.
He did nothing for a month and yet he wanted to make six thousand yuan.
Do you know what six thousand yuan means?
Many people can't earn that much money in a month.
Ran Qiuye didn't know what to say.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Yan Bugui assumed she was intimidated and continued, "Don't worry. We're colleagues, I wouldn't lie to you."
Jin Qihao is a big boss from Taiwan. He has a lot of money, but nothing else.
The 20,000 yuan was just the initial salary.
Later, I'll speak up for Zicong again, and his salary will increase then.
Ran Qiuye took a deep breath, wanting to find out what was going on.
"I don't understand why he insists on poaching Zi Cong."
Yan Bugui looked around and whispered, "I won't hide it from you anymore."
Jin Qihao came back this time to seek revenge on Shazhu.
If it weren't for Sha Zhu, the deaf old lady wouldn't have died so young.
This is the hatred of someone who killed their mother.
No matter the cost, he was determined to fight Sha Zhu to the bitter end.
Ran Qiuye continued to ask calmly, "This doesn't seem right."
As far as I know, He Yuzhu never targeted the deaf old lady.
Yan Bugui chuckled: "You're still as naive as ever."
With people like us around, Sha Zhu definitely won't dare to bully the deaf old lady openly.
However, he broke the rules of the courtyard house, causing the people in the courtyard to disrespect the old lady.
Finally, he colluded with Director Wang of the neighborhood committee to force the deaf old lady to go to a nursing home.
If it weren't for him, the deaf old lady could have lived for at least another ten or eight years.
Let me tell you, Sha Zhu is like a rabbit's tail; it won't grow any longer.
Your son Zicong has been with him for so many years, serving him hand and foot.
How did he treat Zi Cong?
They only paid Zicong five thousand yuan a month.
He's treating Zi Cong like a free long-term laborer.
Sha Zhu is the Huang Shiren of the new society.
Qiuye, I only came to see you because we're colleagues.
You should think about it carefully.
Ran Qiuye was also a smart person. She did not impulsively refuse Yan Bugui, but instead chose to delay.
"I need to go home and discuss it with Zi Cong."
Yan Bugui thought Ran Qiuye was interested, so he resorted to intimidation.
"You should go home and have a good talk with him. Actually, our restaurant doesn't lack chefs."
Jin Qihao originally planned to invite some world-class chefs from abroad.
In his words, "You have to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, to get it clean and efficient without leaving any future problems."
I thought we were colleagues, and you helped me a lot during the sports season.
I'm afraid your son Zicong will follow Shazhu down the same dark path.
That's why I came to find you.
Ran Qiuye feigned gratitude and replied perfunctorily to Yan Bugui, "Teacher Yan, thank you so much."
If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do.
"Then I'll treat you to lunch."
Ran Qiuye knew that Yan Bugui liked to take advantage of small things, so she ordered all the dishes at the restaurant.
Yan Bugui's mind was drawn to these small advantages.
"Teacher Yan, I plan to go back and discuss this with Zicong. I won't eat here."
I paid the bill and left.
Yan Bugui turned his head and thought, "This is even better. There are so many dishes, he simply can't finish them all."
Those dishes that weren't cooked can be returned.
"You should talk to Zi Cong right away. Remember, don't tell anyone, especially Sha Zhu. Once we're out this door, I absolutely won't acknowledge him."
Ran Qiuye quickly said, "I definitely won't tell anyone. We haven't even met today."
After Ran Qiuye left, Yan Bugui immediately rushed to the cashier.
"Daughter-in-law, I don't want the dishes on my table anymore. Please give me my money back."
Hao Min shook her head: "Dad, I've already made it for you. You can refuse, but the money can't be refunded."
Yan Bugui said angrily, "Nonsense. Ran Qiuye just ordered eighteen dishes."
You've done it all?
"Do you have eighteen pots in your kitchen?"
Hao Min wasn't ashamed: "Although we don't have eighteen pots in our kitchen, some dishes have already been cooked and some dishes have been prepared."
If you don't want it, won't I just lose money?
They are all members of the Yan family and know each other very well.
Yan Bugui knew that he couldn't let Hao Min not earn some money.
"Then you should return the dishes that haven't been cooked yet. Don't say you can't return them."
"If you dare say you won't back out, I'll go back and find Lao Yi and have Yan Jiecheng stripped of his title as restaurant manager and give it to Jiefang."
Faced with this threat, Hao Min had no choice but to back down and agree to refund part of the money to Yan Bugui.
Ran Qiuye drove to Chaoyang Hotel and told Duan Zicong what Yan Bugui had said.
After listening, Duan Zicong said in a reproachful tone, "You should have rejected him back then."
Ran Qiuye said, "I was thinking of telling Master and seeing what he plans to do."
Duan Zicong thought it made sense, so he called He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu had nothing to do at the time, so he came to Chaoyang Hotel.
"They're poaching our employees. That's not surprising."
Yi Zhonghai and his group were just a bunch of ordinary people with little knowledge.
Even now, they still cling to the old ways of thinking and haven't changed.
That's all the methods they have.
To come up with the idea of poaching employees is a normal performance.
Let alone those people, most people would never use up all thirty-six stratagems in their entire lives.
Duan Zicong said, "Master, I'll have Qiuye refuse him in a bit."
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't rush. Let Qiuye keep him hanging for a while and see what he does next."
Duan Zicong asked doubtfully, "You mean, he has other methods?"
He Yuzhu nodded: "A restaurant can't have only one head chef."
If he wants to poach you, why doesn't he also poach someone else?
Didn't they specifically ask the chef in the kitchen before they came to eat here a while ago?
Duan Zicong snorted and said confidently, "Our kitchen staff are all our own people, they will definitely not agree to his request."
He Yuzhu also believed that the people in the kitchen would not easily betray him.
But there's always an unexpected twist.
If Jin Qihao is determined to poach people, He Yuzhu might not be able to stop him.
Jin Qihao gave a vegetable washer five thousand yuan, so He Yuzhu couldn't possibly give him that much too.
The issue of salary isn't something you can just decide to pay whatever amount you want.
Five thousand for washing vegetables, what about chopping vegetables, and cooking vegetables?
If everyone follows suit, the restaurant will stop making money.
"If they want to poach people, then let them."
“Master, wouldn’t that be aiding the enemy?” Duan Zicong objected.
He Yuzhu explained, "Let me finish. His restaurant hasn't even started renovations yet; it's still a long way from opening."
"Keep him hanging for now; if things really get out of hand, you can agree to his request."
"I will not agree," Duan Zicong firmly refused.
Ran Qiuye saw through He Yuzhu's intention and said, "What's the rush? Wait for Master to finish speaking."
Duan Zicong immediately fell silent. In the Duan family, the one who truly held the reins was the mild-mannered Ran Qiuye.
He Yuzhu stated his plan directly: "I'm sending you to their restaurant to infiltrate their organization."
When Duan Zicong heard He Yuzhu ask him to go undercover, he understood.
He thought about it and felt that this method was quite good.
"Alright, I'll keep an eye on them. If they dare to resort to underhanded tactics, I'll let you know." (End of Chapter)
