Chapter 327: Chapter 327 Shuidilao is Mine_1

Fang Jingwei shook her head, "I don’t want to work here anymore, please settle my wages and pay me."

Now that things had come to this, it was naturally impossible for her to stay and work.

It was better to take this opportunity to leave straight away.

"Alright, for this month and a bit, I’ll pay you ten thousand, which makes a total of three hundred and one thousand. I’ll transfer it to you right now," the restaurant owner took out his phone and immediately scanned the code to send the money.

It was Shen Dong who helped with the transaction by clicking on receive.

"Fang Jingwei, let’s go then," Shen Dong said.

"Wait a moment, I need to pack up," Fang Jingwei spoke and went back to the storage room to get her things.

Shen Dong used the break to pay the bill.

Eating a meal required paying for it, even though he was very unhappy with the owner, but rules were rules, otherwise it would be the same as dining and dashing...

Although the restaurant owner said there was no need to pay, he didn’t listen and insisted on settling the account.

Reluctantly, the restaurant owner could only let Shen Dong pay.

However, he instructed the cashier to apply a fifty percent discount.

This time, Shen Dong did not refuse.

Whether or not there was a discount didn’t matter; if the restaurant owner insisted, then so be it.

After all, he was just passing by today, and came to have a meal, as he probably won’t come here to dine again in the future.

It’s good that he came here today; otherwise, his classmate Fang Jingwei might have been bullied into who knows what.

Soon, Fang Jingwei emerged, and the two left the restaurant together.

"Shen Dong, thank you," Fang Jingwei sincerely thanked him.

"We’re classmates; no need for thanks. It’s just chance that we met today. Have you always been working in Hai City?" Shen Dong asked.

"Yes, I came to Hai City after graduating from high school, but it’s a pity I don’t have much education and I know very little, so I can only work as a waitress," Fang Jingwei said, smiling bitterly.

"Now that you have money, you don’t have to be a waitress anymore. You can do what you enjoy," Shen Dong said with a smile.

"This money, you’ve helped me get it. I can’t accept it. I would be satisfied even only getting ten thousand in wages. I’ll add you on WeChat and transfer the money to you," Fang Jingwei had never intended to keep those eight million for herself.

She didn’t have Shen Dong’s WeChat, not even his phone number.

"Fang Jingwei, if you consider me a classmate, don’t talk about transferring the money to me again. Besides, you must have seen how a few words from me made them pay so much. I’m not lacking in money," Shen Dong said earnestly.

"But..." Fang Jingwei tried to say more.

"No buts. If you keep talking like this, we can’t even be classmates," Shen Dong said, interrupting her with a wave of his hand.

"Okay then," Fang Jingwei sighed but immediately declared firmly, "Don’t worry, I’ll use this money wisely and not waste a single cent."

Shen Dong said with a smile, "You don’t need to make any promises to me. It’s your money; you can use it however you want, and I trust you won’t misuse it."

Fang Jingwei nodded and asked, "So, what’s your story? How did you make Mr. Xue and the restaurant owner pay up with just a few words?"

Shen Dong replied with a smile, "For the past year, I’ve done quite well. I’ve started several companies and have made a bit of a name for myself in the business world, and also built some connections. I guess they feared retaliation."

Shen Dong didn’t go into specifics, not wanting to come off as showing off.

Since he had met Fang Jingwei, they would stay in contact and she would gradually learn about it.

Fang Jingwei listened with vague understanding, only nodding, "Oh, I see."

Shen Dong changed the subject, "So, what are your plans now? Are you thinking of using that money to invest and start a business, or what?"

Fang Jingwei smiled bitterly, "I don’t know much about business, and even with money, I wouldn’t dare invest in starting a business. I still want to work as a waitress."

Shen Dong was slightly taken aback, "As a waitress?"

Fang Jingwei already had eight million; there was no need for her to work like this anymore.

"Yes, actually, what I really want is to work as a waitress at Shuidilao. My colleagues and I have been to Shuidilao Hot Pot, and their service is truly excellent. We all wanted to work there."

"It’s a shame that after Shuidilao in Hai City filled its waitress positions, they haven’t hired more."

"Because of the high wages and good benefits, hardly anyone leaves, unlike other restaurants where there is high turnover of waitstaff."

"I asked a Shuidilao waitress, and she said the work atmosphere there is great and the promotion system is excellent. As long as you work hard, as long as there are opportunities, you can get promoted. That’s the kind of company I dream of working for."

"I know my own character; I’m not suited for starting a business. I can only work for others, achieve as much as I can, and make it into management."

"Right now, I’m self-studying management in the catering sector, and once I get the relevant certifications, I’ll apply to be a waitress at Shuidilao, starting from the bottom."

"If Shuidilao in Hai City isn’t hiring, I’ll probably go to another city. Shuidilao is expanding rapidly anyway, and I heard that they’re opening in second-tier cities too."

Fang Jingwei’s face lit up with a smile, filled with longing and anticipation for her future life.

Shen Dong said with a smile, "Actually, if you want to work at Shuidilao in Hai City, you can."

Fang Jingwei was startled and then smiled wryly, "I’ve checked already; they’re not hiring. You might not know this, but I frequently check online for waitress job postings at Shuidilao. If there are openings, I’d take leave to interview. Sadly, there never are. Maybe there are really no opportunities left in Hai City. I actually quite like Hai City. Shuidilao’s headquarters are here, which I believe gives greater opportunities for promotion."

Having reached this point in the conversation, Shen Dong could only tell the truth, "Fang Jingwei, Shuidilao is mine."

"What did you say?" Fang Jingwei looked at Shen Dong in astonishment, hardly able to believe her ears.

"You heard me right. Shuidilao is my company," Shen Dong spread his hands, "so like I said, you can work at Shuidilao. You don’t have to be a store waitress; I can arrange for you to work at the headquarters. You mentioned you’ve been studying management in catering, so depending on your abilities, we can arrange a suitable position for you."

"Are you serious? Shuidilao is your company?" Fang Jingwei asked in surprise, seeking confirmation.

"Really," Shen Dong said with a nodding smile.

"My god, Shuidilao is actually yours. I heard that Shuidilao’s market value now exceeds ten billion, and the owner is said to have a good relationship with the famous Wang Xiaocong. Now I understand why Mr. Xue and the restaurant owner were so eager to compensate with so much money," Fang Jingwei suddenly realized.

"Back to the earlier question, do you want to work in a store or at the headquarters? I can take you to the company for an interview, the position will be based on your preferences and capabilities," Shen Dong said.

"I still prefer to work as a store waitress. If I want to move towards a management position, I need to understand the basics thoroughly. Shuidilao’s mission is to provide customers with the ultimate service and I believe that, with my effort and given the opportunity, I will definitely get promoted," Fang Jingwei lifted her fists with determination.
