The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 9

[Chapter 9: Recruiting Talents]

“I just helped when I saw injustice.”

Lin Tian stood with his hands behind his back, not looking at Tang Chuchu. At this time, Tang Chuchu would not let Lin Tian see her embarrassed appearance.

But Liu Fugui, who was thrown out, was unwilling to give up. He thought that Lin Tian was carrying out personal grudges and avenging personal grudges. At this time, he was already shouting outside the door.

“Why did you fire me? I’m just a useless prodigal son. I can’t understand the account book I give you!”

“You will regret firing me sooner or later. This Fulin Restaurant has developed to what it is now. Which one of them was not supported by me?!”

“Waste!”

“You are born by your mother but not raised by her!”

“You bastard!”

The unbearable roars came from inside, and Lin Tian had to get up and turn around to walk out.

The crowd watching the excitement wanted to see how Lin Tian solved it, so when they saw Lin Tian stand up, they immediately made way.

Liu Fugui was very embarrassed at this time, with palm prints all over his face and his clothes torn into a mess. He didn’t look as noble as usual.

“I’m a waste?” Lin Tian repeated disdainfully.

He has lived two lifetimes, and no one has ever called him a waste.

Since Liu Fugui has already said so, he will let Liu Fugui see who is the waste!

“If you are not a waste, then who is? Everyone in Liangzhou City knows that the stupid son of the city lord is a second-generation ancestor, a complete waste and scum!” Liu Fugui shouted, obviously he was going to throw the pot away.

Suddenly, there was a silence around, and everyone was secretly observing how Lin Tian would react.

Even though it was common knowledge that he was a spendthrift, no one dared to say so in front of Lin Tian.

“Do you think you are so great? You built Fulin Restaurant with your own hands?” Lin Tian laughed instead of getting angry, and asked leisurely.

This Fulin Restaurant has more than a little advantage. It took so long to develop to this point, and you dare to say it is his credit?

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Lin Tian suddenly laughed. The Fulin Restaurant can be what it is today, and it is really Liu Fugui’s “credit”!

“I dare not say that, but without me, Fulin Restaurant would not be what it is today.” Liu Fugui did not feel embarrassed at all, and waved his hand modestly.

Many people came here because it was the property of the city lord’s family.

To a large extent, it was due to his background.

“Then I will let you die clearly!”

Lin Tian waved his hand and asked someone to bring the account book. Liu Fugui really regarded him as a fool. He really thought that he had done these accounts perfectly?

“From here, these accounts are indeed no problem at all, but you overlooked one point. Fulin Restaurant is such a big industry, but it only earns one thousand taels of silver a month?” Lin Tian pointed to a number on the account.

The expenses of Fulin Restaurant are not low. The daily income alone is one hundred taels of silver, and sometimes even thousands.

Excluding some costs such as procurement and manpower, the net income is at least one hundred taels of silver.

Besides, the business here has always been good. No matter how much it spends, the income cannot be so low.

Although one thousand taels is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, it is too low compared to the Fulin Restaurant.

“It’s a pity that you played such a good hand of cards like this.”

Lin Tian flipped through the account book, picked out the mistakes, and mocked from time to time.

“This one, just going out to buy vegetables, it cost four hundred taels?”

“If I remember correctly, this cook should be your relative, his monthly salary is three hundred taels?”

“And here, the Wang family allocated two thousand silver to you for the banquet, how come there is not a penny left?”

“This one…”

The more Lin Tian said, the more cold sweat on Liu Fugui’s forehead, and all the false accounts he made were pointed out by Lin Tian.

He thought that no one would be able to find these, even if the higher-ups came to check, they would not notice anything wrong.

But why did this waste find it out after just reading it twice?

But at this time, Liu Fugui didn’t dare to think too much, and he regretted what he said just now that Lin Tian was a waste.

Liu Fugui knelt on the ground and trembled, fearing that Lin Tian would be in a bad mood and let him die here.

“I wanted to give you a chance to let it go, but I didn’t expect you to want to die, so I can only fulfill your wish.” Lin Tian smiled meaningfully.

After saying that, before Liu Fugui could react, he ordered Lin Kang next to him: “Send him to the government office and take this account book.”

After throwing the account book to his men behind him, Lin Tian no longer looked at Liu Fugui.

With this account book in hand, Liu Fugui is estimated to be in prison.

But it’s none of his business. He has now become the new owner of Fulin Restaurant. As the saying goes, a new official has three fires when he takes office. He has to do something.

And the first thing to do is to find a new shopkeeper!

“Everyone, you have seen the excitement. Today, this young master announces that the owner of this Fulin Restaurant is me!” Lin Tian said loudly.

Now that so many people have gathered, he can just take this opportunity to recruit talents and find a few more capable subordinates.

Everyone thought that Lin Tian was joking, but after hearing his solemn announcement and looking at the deed in his hand, they had to believe it.

Although some people still didn’t believe Lin Tian, his performance just now made people know that Lin Tian was also very capable.

“This young master is here today to recruit talents and recruit people on the spot! Find a new shopkeeper for Fulin Restaurant. Those who are interested should line up first and come to me one by one to make an introduction!”

Lin Tian asked someone to set up a table for him and started the interview directly in the lobby.

However, there were not many people at the beginning, most of them were just joining in the fun, and no one knew what Lin Tian was trying to do by suddenly doing this.

“By the way, the shopkeeper of Fulin Restaurant is entitled to 10% of the restaurant’s revenue, and an additional 300 taels of monthly silver. As long as the restaurant business is good, the shopkeeper will earn more!”

Seeing that no one came up, Lin Tian simply threw out the most tempting bait.

Such treatment was unheard of. 300 taels of monthly silver was not a small amount, and with 10% of the revenue, it was simply a good job that could not be found even with a lantern!

As a result, many more people were eager to try, and soon a long line formed in front of Lin Tian.

The first person to come to Lin Tian was a tall and thin guy with a pale face, obviously weak.

“What can you do? Introduce yourself first.”

Lin Tian raised his hand and acted like an interviewer.

The tall and thin guy obviously wanted to join in the fun, but was frightened when he saw Lin Tian so serious.

“Um… my name is Liuzi.”

After just saying the name, the man was speechless and stood there scratching his head.

Lin Tian waved his hands irritably.
