The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Contract Renewal

Shen Lu hurried out of the car, pressing her red lips together as she looked at the delivery receipt the truck driver handed her.

Phew...

’Zhao Qian is acting like a normal person today, unlike the last two days when he sent a whole truck of scallions and green onions.’

She called people over to move the vegetables. Without needing any instructions from Shen Lu, the few people in the back kitchen skillfully got to work.

After finishing her part, Shen Lu returned to the front counter to edit a video. Wang Daguo had snuck over at some point and leaned on the counter to ask quietly, "Boss, have you decided which two people you’re going to keep?"

Shen Lu was taken aback. "Why are you asking?"

"Just curious."

"Then you can just stay curious."

After publishing the video, Shen Lu started tidying up the front counter.

Wang Daguo clicked his tongue and turned to get back to his own work.

It wasn’t that Shen Lu didn’t want to tell him; she simply hadn’t decided yet.

Besides, it seemed Ye Fan and Lin Zhou’s contracts were expiring in the next day or two.

’Originally, my plan was to not renew their contracts once the business stabilized.’

’But now, who knows how many people are watching me, both openly and secretly. I’d better renew them for now.’

’I’ll talk to Xue Can about it tonight.’

Also, it was time for her to pay Wang Daguo and Cai Su.

’Look at all this stuff, it’s just one thing after another.’

In the afternoon, Shen Lu settled Wang Daguo’s wages. Cradling a pile of Star Coins, Wang Daguo was so happy he could barely see straight.

"Thank you, Boss!"

It was the first time he’d ever received such high wages!

Back when he was a corpse collector, he only made a little over 1,000 Star Coins a month. Working for Shen Lu, he earned nearly 3,000 Star Coins a month.

This was considered a high salary in the Lower City District.

Shen Lu said, "You need to keep working hard next month. I’ll dock your pay if you slack off."

"That won’t happen! I’ll definitely work hard!"

After paying Wang Daguo, it was Cai Su’s turn.

However, Cai Su had taken an advance on her salary, so she wasn’t due any money this month. She would only get paid next month. Still, Shen Lu gave her 500 Star Coins.

"This is a bonus," Shen Lu said. "You’re pretty much the deputy manager of the shop. When I’m not here, you’re the one in charge of them, so I’m giving you a bonus for the month. If you continue to do well in the future, the bonuses will keep coming."

Shen Lu had just made this up. She was afraid Cai Su wouldn’t accept the money if she just gave it to her directly.

Cai Su indeed hadn’t wanted to accept it. Not only had she received a salary advance, but she also lived and ate at the shop. Shen Lu also deserved credit for Xiao Lang’s successful second awakening. She had already benefited so much.

’But the reason Shen Lu gave is very convincing. It should be fine to accept it, right?’

Shen Lu stuffed the money into Cai Su’s hands. "Alright, alright, I’m going to make dinner now."

With that, she went into the kitchen.

Shen Lu glanced back and saw that Cai Su hadn’t followed her. That must mean she’d accepted the money.

She began to cook with peace of mind, with Song Zhigao helping her as an assistant.

Cai Su poked her head in through the doorway. "Boss, I’m going to make a trip to Granny Jin’s place."

"Okay. If Granny Jin is willing, ask her to come over and have a meal with us."
