Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Offering an Olive Branch_1

The manager originally wanted to speak up for his relative’s relative, but the moment he heard about the numerous customer complaints, his eyebrows knitted tightly together. What on earth was going on? The girl didn’t seem like the type to cause trouble, so how had she received so many complaints—could she be here to stir up issues?

If she had come to make trouble, then she really couldn’t stay and build the restaurant here. Initially, it was all about the profit model—making so little wasn’t sustainable, so they had considered bringing in a new manager to make adjustments. To their surprise, this manager had done quite well, directly flipping the company’s profits—by who knows how many folds—and the company was extremely pleased.

Putting the manager in an awkward position was something they couldn’t avoid, but they had never truly considered firing the manager. After all, everyone had witnessed the manager’s abilities. Surely, they couldn’t offend the manager just because of some minor incident with a young lady. After some thought, they decided to take a more tactful approach.

They needed to see how the situation would unfold. If this young lady continued to hinder the restaurant’s progress, then there would be no need for her to stay.

"You must be the head manager here. The complaints just now were from me. I really have serious doubts about your restaurant’s management model. Such a capable manager you have here, and you’re not cherishing him—if you don’t want him, just say it. I could use a talented person like that. I wonder if this manager would be willing to join me," said Kang Yue.

"Moreover, I just scrutinized the manager. You’re indeed excellent. If you’re interested, join us—the salary we offer will definitely not disappoint you. You must be feeling constrained here and unable to do what you aim to. But let me tell you, if you come over to our side, you can freely pursue what you want to do. May I ask for your esteemed name?"

Kang Yue had already seen through the mess—this place was completely dominated by the waiter, Mr. Zhang. Speaking more would be useless; it would be better to pry away whatever useful people there were and let this restaurant be. Even if the food tasted a bit better, the prices were still on the high side.

If the ambiance and vitality were crafted by the manager, then why not simply take the manager away? In this industry, one could reap massive profits from catering. What Kang Yue was thinking now was to boost this catering business, which could be very lucrative. It depended on whether the manager was willing to follow suit.

Sometimes, Kang Yue had a keen eye for people, occasionally discerning someone’s potential at a glance. If dedicated to the catering business, the money to be made would be outstanding, and it would be possible to open several more branches. Kang Yue was already calculating the prospects in his head.

Moreover, he was someone who placed immense trust in others. As long as one could make it work, he was never stingy with money and would ensure satisfaction.

With a straightforward approach, Kang Yue extended an invitation to the manager. If the manager agreed, they could discuss the next steps immediately. The manager was utterly flabbergasted—initially intending only to resolve a dispute, but now receiving a direct job offer. He was quite taken aback and felt a bit embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, the head manager immediately panicked. How could they allow this to happen? They had finally found such talent—if stolen, wouldn’t that cause trouble later? Absolutely not. So, with a smile, he said,

"Ah, Mr. Su, you know how I am. Sometimes I don’t speak too well. The things I said just now weren’t really from the heart; I hope you understand. I just wanted to tell you—sometimes it’s not necessary to take such extreme measures. Give the girls a bit of face, won’t you? Look at how thin-skinned this girl is, and she’s been aggrieved here. What if she becomes despondent from overthinking? I didn’t intend to fire you. Reconsider it, would you? You know how bright your prospects are if you stay with us."

"Look at all the changes you’ve made to this place, turning it into what it is now. Are you really willing to leave it so readily, to start over elsewhere? Don’t listen to this lady’s sweet talk; she might just discard you later on.

"These are all uncertainties, right? Think carefully about your future prospects before you decide. You’re a smart person; you wouldn’t make a hasty decision you’ll regret, would you?"

Kang Yue couldn’t help but laugh, seeing through the real motives behind these words—wasn’t he just afraid of losing his talent?

Hehe, just moments ago, he thought everyone else was as blind as he was, unable to recognize the manager’s capabilities. Anyway, the manager was now astounded by this pleasant surprise, immensely happy—though he refrained from showing it, lest this woman had only spoken casually. So, he proceeded with caution:

"I understand, head manager. I’ll give it some serious thought. I won’t respond to anyone just yet. We should settle Mr. Zhang’s issue first, as it has dragged on for so long. If it continues, it could affect the restaurant’s progress. You wouldn’t want that, right? Consider how our restaurant has slowly strengthened."

The manager subtly expressed his desire for Mr. Zhang to be dismissed quickly. If Mr. Zhang stayed, who knew how much more trouble he would cause? Working in such an environment and dealing with these issues daily would be worse than going somewhere more promising. The manager was confident in his own prospects.

If he went somewhere else, he could rise quickly—it was just a matter of time. If the head manager valued him, he would act as suggested, considering Mr. Zhang wasn’t exactly an outstanding waiter.

If the head manager could be decisive, the manager might barely be willing to remain there. Now it all depended on what others chose. The manager had already made up his mind, and Kang Yue waited on the side. There was no rush—acquiring such talent would be great.
