Jiang Hui was stunned as Ling Zhenfei led her around. She had grown up in a decent environment and had been to many high-end restaurants, but none compared to this one. The decor was so exquisite, the design so thoughtful, that every detail made people feel incredibly comfortable.

Actually, Ling Zhenfei was also astonished. Although he had seen the drawings, seeing it in reality took him by surprise.

At this time, the restaurant only had lighting adjustment left, nearing completion.

Zhou Tong was directing on-site and noticed Ling Zhenfei's arrival. After adjusting the lighting to his satisfaction, he hurried over.

"Boss, what do you think?" Zhou Yong's face was full of smiles; he was very excited to see his design perfectly presented.

"Not bad, very good. I am very satisfied," Ling Zhenfei said approvingly.

"Boss, it's not enough that you're satisfied. You need to consider that we are about to open for business," Zhou Tong was very much looking forward to it.

Ling Zhenfei nodded: "So, what about the recruitment of employees?"

Zhou Tong was taken aback: "I haven't had time for that. Do you have any requirements for the staff?"

"Don't worry about the chef. I'll provide the head chef. As for other positions in the restaurant, we need to recruit all of them. Service staff must be young and attractive, with the highest pay in the city."

Zhou Tong was stunned: "I don't have much experience with this kind of thing."

Ling Zhenfei laughed: "No experience, no problem. Didn't I find someone for you? Zi Xuan is a management talent from Lin's Group and was once a department manager."

Zhou Tong said helplessly: "Zi Xuan is too busy. She still has to manage the accounting work at Xishan Manor, and she's probably working overtime there now."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment: "In that case, I will find another person for you."

After saying that, Ling Zhenfei introduced Jiang Hui to Zhou Tong: "This is my assistant, Jiang Hui, a university graduate. I'll leave her with you to help with recruitment."

Jiang Hui was taken aback: "I don't think I can do it. I've never done this type of work before."

Ling Zhenfei said: "What are you talking about? If I make you a leader, is there anything you can't do? Our salary is the highest in the city. Are you afraid no one will come?"

What Ling Zhenfei said was indeed true; his salary was the highest in the city. He didn't believe he couldn't find anyone to work.

"Alright, I'll stay for now," Jiang Hui said somewhat reluctantly.

Actually, this was also a good idea from Ling Zhenfei. Keeping Jiang Rui by his side didn't make much sense, so it was better to give her more work to do.

"Zhou Tong, Jiang Hui doesn't have a place to stay in Binyang yet. Can you find her somewhere to settle?"

Zhou Tong laughed: "The third floor is our employee dormitory. I will arrange a private room for Miss Jiang, definitely better than any hotel."

"Thank you very much,"

Ling Zhenfei said to Jiang Hui: "Call me if anything comes up. I'm going back to discuss the opening with President Chen. Make sure you handle the recruitment properly."

"Don't worry, I'll get it done. I'll hire a few beautiful university graduates for you."

"What do you mean for me? It's for the restaurant. Our restaurant aims to be the best in the country, so we must recruit accordingly."

Jiang Hui laughed: "Why don't you post a job ad on Weibo? I'm sure people would flood your store."

"Stop joking. Hurry up and get ready. I'm leaving now."

After arranging everything, Ling Zhenfei drove towards the village.

It had been a long time since he went home. He should go back soon, or Zhou Yun would be worried.

It was almost dark by the time Ling Zhenfei drove into the village, but the direction of Xishan Manor was still brightly lit. The solar lights formed a long line, surrounding the entire Xishan Manor, looking very majestic.

Two more big greenhouses had been put into use recently, making Xishan Manor busier. When Ling Zhenfei arrived, Chen Qian was holding a meeting with them.

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw Ling Zhenfei walk in and stood up.

"Zhenfei, you're back?" Zhou Yun happily grabbed Ling Zhenfei's arm.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back. What are you guys doing? Having a meeting?"

Chen Qian said: "Nothing too important, just discussing our manor's development. Our manor is developing rapidly now. With the addition of the Green Apple Restaurant and the efforts of Manager Luo, our Xishan Manor vegetables have successfully reached beyond Binyang."

"That's great news," Ling Zhenfei said with a smile.

"Of course it's good news, but there are still some issues. Some of our employees are not working diligently, and there are people just passing the time. Those who work hard are truly tired, while some are really idle," Zhou Yun said beside him.

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback after hearing this. It seemed that everyone had some opinions.

"So what thoughts do you have, President Chen?"

Chen Qian laughed: "Actually, there's no brilliant idea, just decided to implement piece-rate assessment: more work, more pay; less work, less pay."

"Not bad. That's a good method," Ling Zhenfei agreed.

"Yes, it seems good, but regulating it is a challenge. For example, those on night shifts will definitely have less work. They don't even have to do much, but get the same salary as those on day shifts. That's certainly not fair."

"Indeed, that shouldn't happen. How are our wages now?" Ling Zhenfei asked with concern.

"We pay wages on time every month on the tenth, and our wage standards are about the same as city workers."

"So, does everyone want to work here then?"

"Of course. The work is just ordinary farming, even easier than regular farming. No exposure to wind and rain, right at their doorstep, and they can earn so much. Who wouldn't want to?"

"Then why are there so many people slacking?" Ling Zhenfei was very puzzled. They should be working hard with such good jobs.

"Isn't it because the weather has turned cold, people start to get lazy?"

Zhang Duo laughed: "Cold? It can't be colder than the mountains. In a few days, when it snows, it'll be worse."

"Raising livestock isn't easy either. When it gets cold, the lake starts to freeze. It'll be the hardest time for us," Zhou Qun also complained to Ling Zhenfei.

Only then did Ling Zhenfei realize that some people felt their work was too hard. Like Zhou Qun and Zhang Duo: one managed the forest, the other managed the livestock, both tougher than growing vegetables.

But growing vegetables wasn't easy either. They had to get up early to harvest. If you really calculate it that way, no one is being short-changed.

Ling Zhenfei's face suddenly turned stern: "I understand the situation very well now. You mean the work is too hard and you don't want to do it. If anyone doesn't want to work, you can quit right away, and I will agree."
