But seeing the look of adoration in Yuan Li’s eyes, Qi Sheng couldn’t help but feel a little smug.
Fortunately, he had developed a bit more composure, so he managed to keep a straight face.
"Now that you’ve all tasted what our restaurant has to offer, I’ll need you to put extra effort into the upcoming recruitment phase."
"I’m going to open a corporate account and deposit 10 million into it."
"Whether it’s for procurement or promotions..."
"Yuan Li, you’ll have full authority to use these funds as you see fit. You just need to report the expenditures to Lei Ting."
"Thank you, Boss."
A flicker of emotion showed in Yuan Li’s eyes, and her admiration for Qi Sheng grew even deeper.
’That’s 10 million, and he’s letting me have free rein over it.’
’How could I not be moved by such trust from him?’
The only reason Qi Sheng could be so at ease was because he knew how utterly loyal she was to him.
It wasn’t just that Yuan Li would never misuse company funds.
She wouldn’t hesitate for a second even if he asked her to give him her entire fortune.
...
Armed with Qi Sheng’s blessing and the approved 10 million, Yuan Li began poaching staff aggressively.
She started with some entry-level servers she was familiar with.
Whether they were diligent workers or quick thinkers, she took them all.
In less than a week, she had successfully recruited all 250 employees for the Spicy King Taikoo Li Main Store.
"Everyone, you’ve all seen for yourselves how capable our boss is."
"A standalone commercial property in the heart of Taikoo Li... the rent alone is 25 million a year."
"So you have absolutely no reason to worry about the boss being unable to pay your salaries."
Yuan Li started with a small joke to lighten the mood.
At the same time, she was showcasing Qi Sheng’s resources, reassuring the employees and giving them something to look forward to.
"The boss is very concerned about your well-being. In addition to contributing to your social security and housing fund, your work schedule will follow the legal eight-hour workday."
"You’ll have two-day weekends. Any overtime is voluntary and will be paid at 25 yuan per hour."
"The base salary is 5,000 yuan a month, with performance bonuses ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 yuan, depending on your position."
"You’ll have a 25-yuan meal allowance per person for work meals. There will be fresh fruit, milk, and yogurt provided daily, and you can take home whatever you don’t finish."
"For housing, it’s two people to a room. The company provides two-bedroom apartments, with a maximum of four people per unit. All utilities and internet fees are covered."
After laying out all the benefits, Yuan Li asked with a broad smile,
"Does anyone have any complaints about the company’s compensation package?"
The crowd was dead silent, their eyes filled with nothing but shock and pleasant surprise.
’What kind of god-tier boss is this?’
’An eight-hour workday, two days off on the weekend, and paid overtime.’
’A 25-yuan allowance for lunch and dinner.’
’Only two people to a bedroom, and utilities and internet are covered.’
’Damn it, I’m going to work for this company until I’m eighty!’
This was the genuine sentiment of most of the new employees.
Forget Chengdu—you wouldn’t find a company this generous even in top-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Shenzhen.
And even if you could, would a company like that ever hire them?
"If there are no further questions, you can sign your contracts now. Please come up one by one."
"Once you’ve provided your contact details and bank account information, the finance department will advance you one month’s base salary."
"You’ll have one week to take care of your personal matters before reporting back for duty."
Yuan Li directed the HR department to methodically register the employees’ information, then dropped another bombshell.
"Holy crap, the boss is so generous! Not only do we get a week off, but he’s also paying us in advance! Long live the boss!"
Which of these young people, most of whom were under thirty, wasn’t in this industry to make more money?
Quite a few had even worked at Haidilao for a couple of years.
The pay and benefits at Haidilao were considered decent enough.
But compared to the restaurant they were about to work for...
...the difference was like night and day. There was simply no comparison.
Once everyone’s information had been registered...
...Yuan Li had a few people from the administration department organize the male and female employees to head to their respective dormitories.
Many of the employees assumed there would be a shuttle bus.
They figured the company-provided dorms would be far away from the bustling and lively Chunxi Road.
But to their utter surprise, the young man from administration told them it was within walking distance.
A two-bedroom apartment near Chunxi Road would cost two or three thousand yuan a month, at a minimum.
Who would have thought the boss would be generous enough to house his employees right next to the commercial district?
The complex was called Hongbang Manor and consisted of a single apartment building.
It was 32 stories high, with 4 elevators serving 13 units per floor.
Qi Sheng had rented five entire floors to house his staff.
At a rent of 3,000 yuan per month per apartment, and after excluding the employees who already had homes in Chengdu, he still rented 60 units.
The rent alone came out to 180,000 yuan a month.
