Chapter 133 - 133 133 Changing the Boss

133: Chapter 133: Changing the Boss 133: Chapter 133: Changing the Boss When Chen Fang and Ye Xue went out to tour the building, Ye Qiu and Ye Weidong sat inside, with Ye Weidong first reviewing the sublease contract.

After carefully examining it and confirming there were no issues, he handed it to Ye Qiu, who then scrutinized it thoroughly.

Within Ye Qiu’s absorbed soul consciousness, there existed the knowledge of legal experts, which made it clear to him at a glance whether there were any problems with the sublease contract.

After Ye Qiu finished his review and pointed out a few areas, Li Fu was surprised that Ye Qiu could find issues in the contract, which he had specifically had written by legal professionals.

Li Fu agreed to amend those points, and then added the clarifications in writing.

Next, Li Fu and Ye Weidong signed and put their fingerprints on the contract, each keeping a copy.

Then Ye Qiu paid Li Fu this year’s rental fee; utilities would be paid to the property owner directly and were no longer Li Fu’s concern.

As it was already May but not yet over, Li Fu considered this month as his own, since Ye Weidong might still need to renovate, which would take some time to complete.

The rent from June to December of the lower half of the year, fifty thousand per month for the lease, was transferred to Li Fu’s account.

As Ye Weidong and Li Fu shook hands, Li Fu let out a sigh of relief and said, “Mr.

Ye, may I ask what you and your son plan to manage here?”

“We’re planning to run an imperial cuisine restaurant,”

Ye Weidong said.

However, just as he had said this, Li Fu remarked, “I’ve managed an imperial cuisine restaurant before, and business was really tough.

I suggest it would be better to do a different type of cuisine.”

Ye Weidong knew that this was something Ye Qiu had discussed with him in advance.

If he had known earlier that imperial cuisine wasn’t profitable here, Ye Weidong probably wouldn’t have had the courage to go for it.

“Mr.

Li, I will take your situation into consideration.

But if you don’t try, how can you know whether it will be successful or not?”

Ye Qiu said.

“That’s true.

But what about my former employees?”

Ye Qiu had already met the official chefs, logistics staff, and female waitresses here, but neither the chefs nor the waitresses made a good impression on him.

The chefs lacked skill, the logistics staff were too lazy, and the waitresses had poor attitudes.

“Just take them all with you.”

Ye Qiu said.

“I’ll go and ask what they think.”

Li Fu had no intention of staying in the industry any longer and naturally didn’t want to take the chefs and waitresses with him.

However, he still settled their wages for the month.

No matter whether he lost money or not, he couldn’t mistreat the chefs and waitresses who had been with him for so many years.

Li Fu came down from upstairs, and the waitresses below, who were puzzled and sitting around chatting due to the poor business, could only idle away their time.

“Call everyone out, I have an announcement to make,”

Li Fu said.

A waitress went to the kitchen and called out all the chefs and logistics personnel.

Seeing Li Fu looking cheerful with a smile on his face, they thought he was about to give them a raise.

But with business being so bad, they felt it was better not to get their hopes up.

“Boss, what’s up?

Are you planning to give us a raise?”

“You even want a raise?

With business this bad, it’s good enough not to cut your wages!”

…

The chefs and logistics staff there were all discussing among themselves.

To them, the work here was really easy, and although the salary wasn’t very high, they felt it was sufficient.

“You’ve just seen those few people.

They’ve already come over and signed a transfer contract with me.

This place has been subleased to Mr.

Ye,”

“Ah!”

“How did this happen?”

The chefs and waitresses hadn’t expected that the young man who had come for a meal would actually not just be there to eat; they were surprised that the boss had so quickly sublet the place to another owner.

Although the last change of ownership was five years ago, they still felt it happened very fast.

“The contract has already been signed.

I’ll give you this month’s wages in advance.

As to whether Mr.

Ye wants you, that’s not something we can decide,”

“Boss, then let’s go with you,”

ImmediateLy, a logistics staff member spoke up.

Although they felt Li Fu had a bad temper, he always paid their wages on time each month, so they thought it was not wrong to follow Mr.

Li.

“I won’t be running a restaurant anymore, so following me would be pointless.

So, see if Mr.

Ye needs you or find a new job for yourselves,”

When they heard Li Fu say this, the chefs and waitresses realized it wasn’t a joke.

Li Fu went to the front desk and settled this month’s accounts, realizing he still lost over thirty thousand.

Now that he no longer had to worry about these matters, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The others realized Li Fu truly didn’t care anymore.

The smarter waitresses and chefs hurried upstairs, as with a new owner, if they wanted to stay, they definitely needed the new owner’s approval.

Ye Weidong was sitting in the seat that used to be Li Fu’s, feeling quite pleased with himself, while Ye Qiu said, “Dad, what’s this?

In the future, you’ll truly become a cut above others.”

For Ye Weidong, sitting there was indeed much more comfortable than at his barbecue stand.

Ye Weidong was still thinking, perhaps this is how dreams are realized, when several middle-aged men looking like chefs and a few waitresses came in from the entrance.

“Mr.

Ye, Mr.

Ye!”

The waitresses and chefs came in, looking very respectful and enthusiastic.

But Ye Qiu paid them no mind; he came out from the inside, and the waitresses and chefs rushed over to Ye Weidong, eagerly relaying their wish to stay on as waitresses and chefs.

Chen Fang and Ye Xue went up to the top floor, the fifth floor, then down to the fourth, and then the third, carefully inspecting each one.

Though they didn’t understand why the previous business did so poorly, they felt that the monthly rent of fifty thousand didn’t seem too expensive.

After all, at the porridge and noodle shop, the rent was four or five thousand a month, and that was for a shop less than forty square meters.

But this place, with five floors adding up to over a thousand square meters, and each floor having over two hundred square meters, could accommodate many customers.

“Ye Qiu, this place is so big, are you planning to use it all to serve imperial cuisine?”

Ye Xue asked curiously.

“Yes.

In the morning, we’ll operate an imperial cuisine teahouse, serve imperial cuisine for lunch and dinner, and then run an imperial cuisine late-night snack bar.

Of course, in the future, you won’t have to come to work that early; nine o’clock will be fine.”

“Ye Qiu, how can it be okay to have no one watching over the place?”

Chen Fang asked.
