Chapter 142: Poaching in a Fair Manner

Lu Shiyuan didn't expect that he accidentally stumbled upon something that Yun Jin really liked.

This made the business negotiations go particularly smoothly. Next, he only needed to go to Yunhan Society to find Yunning to sign the contract.

He was not afraid that Yun Ning would not agree. After all, the real boss of Yunhanshe was Yun Jin. If she really wanted to be tough, no one could control her.

After discussing the business, Yun Jin chatted with Xin Yan for a while before putting on a mask and sunglasses and sneaking out of the teahouse like a thief.

Although she is the head of Yunhan Society, she is also afraid of being criticized by the respected old actors in the society.

On the other side, Xin Yan had embroidered a lifelike flower on Diona's hat, completely covering the damaged area.

This made Diona very happy. She called Xin Yan "sister" all the time, making her face blush.

"Xin Yan, can you make snacks?" Lu Shiyuan asked.

"Yes. As long as it's the mainstream snack in Liyue Harbor, I can make it." Xin Yan's answer did not disappoint.

"Then do you have time to come to our teahouse to help?" Lu Shiyuan asked seriously, "Make some snacks or something, I can pay you a salary."

"Okay." Xin Yan nodded without hesitation, and the matter was settled.

In this way, he had one more staff member. Next, he hired a storyteller and a waiter, and the teahouse staff was basically complete.

Lu Shiyuan had already planned the selection of these two people.

He set out immediately and headed for Sanwan Port.

It was dinner time and the restaurant was bustling with activity. Tian Tiezui was telling ancient myths and legends at the counter, and waitresses were walking through the aisles serving dishes.

The owner of the shop, old man Degui, was leaning on a recliner, basking in the sun leisurely at the door of the shop. From time to time, he turned his head and looked at his employees to see if they were working hard.

"This is a hands-off boss." Lu Shiyuan felt sour in his heart, but soon he became happy again, "But all of this will be mine soon."

Thinking this in his mind, Lu Shiyuan walked into the store and found one of the few remaining seats to sit down.

Soon, the waitress Zhiruo, who had finished only three bowls of food, came over to ask about the dishes.

Although Lu Shiyuan had just finished his meal, he still ordered a bowl of "Rice Wine Dumplings".

Zhiruo nodded and reported the dish to the kitchen, which was served a moment later.

"Wait." While Zhiruo was still there, Lu Shiyuan quickly took a bite of the dumpling and called out to her.

"Is there... any problem, sir?" Zhiruo asked stutteringly, feeling a little nervous.

"These fermented glutinous rice balls have no taste. How come they are the same as those cooked with plain water?" Lu Shiyuan said in a serious tone.

“This…” Zhiruo opened her mouth but could not come up with any effective explanation, so she could only bow repeatedly, “I’m sorry, sir.

How about I ask the kitchen to make another one?"

"No need for that." Lu Shiyuan said, "If your store will only serve the real thing if an expert asks you about it, then I won't eat it."

Zhiruo had no choice but to whisper, "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll contact the boss to see if I can waive the bill for you."

"Go." Lu Shiyuan nodded and watched Zhiruo go to the door.

Not long after, the gloomy curse from old man Degui came in. Correspondingly, Zhiruo wanted to defend herself, but was forced to be unable to utter a word.

"This Degui is really a profiteer." Lu Shiyuan shook his head helplessly and amusedly. It's ok that the dishes are not made of real ingredients, but he blames the employees for not knowing how to slice and deceive people? How can such a short-sighted person make his business bigger and stronger?
It would be better for him to poach this guy's employees today and let him reflect on himself.

After being scolded, Zhiruo came back with red eyes and whispered, "Customer, I'll give you a free meal."

"Yeah." Lu Shiyuan nodded. In fact, he had heard everything just now. The consequence of Zhiruo giving him a free meal was that her salary would be deducted. This girl was honest. Lu Shiyuan smiled and said, "I remember your name is Zhiruo, right?"

"Oh, yes." Zhiruo was a little surprised that the other party called out her name all of a sudden.

"Do you think you'd be happy working for a boss like this?" Lu Shiyuan asked, tapping the table.

"Of course I'm... unhappy." Zhiruo said in a low voice with her head down.

"Then why don't you just resign? To be honest, I think you are honest enough and I want to hire you." Lu Shiyuan directly stated his purpose.

One guest never bothers two hosts. Since you are planning to poach people from Degui, you might as well do it thoroughly.

Zhiruo was stunned, and looked at Lu Shiyuan with a look of disbelief, "Guest, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course." Lu Shiyuan sighed, "In this day and age, it's not easy to find a real person."

Just when Zhiruo was about to agree, she suddenly heard a cold snort from behind: "Zhiruo, don't forget the contract you signed with me!"

Degui appeared beside the two of them at some point, his face looking extremely gloomy.

Zhiruo was startled and shrank her head like a frightened quail, not daring to speak.

"Humph!" Lu Shiyuan was not frightened, and slammed the table heavily, "Old Degui, are you qualified to talk with a contract? What's the matter with these fermented rice balls? It's obvious that the store is bullying the customers, right?"

Degui's face froze, then he smiled and said, "How are my rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice? What can you taste after taking a bite or two?
Eat a few more bowls, and you’ll start to taste the alcohol.”

"You dare to say it." Lu Shiyuan sneered, "Cut corners is cut corners, it's the same with fermented rice balls and wine.

Do you dare to say that your wine is not diluted with water? "

He spoke so loudly that everyone around him could hear him clearly, causing a commotion.

"Who do you think you are, you little brat? How dare you slander the reputation of our store based on your own words? Believe it or not, I will sue you in the General Affairs Department!" Degui said sternly, getting anxious.

"Okay!" Lu Shiyuan laughed, "It just so happens that I have some connections in the General Affairs Department. I want to see if your wine will be exposed if they really investigate!

True gold is not afraid of fire. I will borrow a pot of wine from the diners on the table and take it to the General Affairs Department for appraisal. You can come with me too!"

Lu Shiyuan stood up and pretended to leave.

Degui finally couldn't hold it anymore, the fierceness on his face disappeared in the blink of an eye, he quickly pulled Lu Shiyuan, his face full of smiles: "Little brother, don't worry, this is just a small matter, there is no need to make such a big fuss, we can discuss it slowly."

"Then terminate the contract with Zhiruo." Lu Shiyuan said directly.

"Okay, okay." Degui nodded quickly. She was just a waitress, so just fire her. There was no need to cause any big trouble.

He took out the contract on the spot, terminated the contract with Zhiruo, and settled the salary in full.

Lu Shiyuan checked it and confirmed that there was no problem. Then he asked Zhiruo, "Are you willing to work in my shop? Regardless of anything else, I am absolutely honest in my business."

Zhiruo nodded quickly. To her, the young man in front of her was just like a knight who would draw his sword and help others when he saw injustice. She was very happy to follow such a man.

"Are you satisfied now?" Degui said unhappily, "If everything is fine, leave now."

"Tian Tiezui, my shop is in need of a storyteller, would you like to come?" Lu Shiyuan was leaving with Zhiruo, and suddenly turned around and shouted.

Tian Tiezui, who had noticed the movement here a long time ago, was stunned at first, then he picked up the "Silence" without thinking and followed, shouting as he walked: "Brother Lu, wait for me."

Soon, the three of them left, leaving only Degui with a shiny black face.
