Chapter 566: The Restaurant Manager

At the Zhou mansion, the servant took out a letter of a visit from the Zhang Manor and handed it to County Magistrate Zhou. He said, “Old master, this is a letter of a visit from the old master of the Zhang Manor!

County Magistrate Zhou didn’t take the letter immediately. Instead, he asked expressionlessly, ” what’s the matter? ”

The servant replied, ” master, the servant who sent the invitation said that master Zhang has a pot of wintersweet and wants to send it over for you to appreciate!”

In the winter, all things withered, and only the wintersweet bloomed in the snow, receiving the admiration of some scholars.

However, wintersweet was also hard to find.

County Magistrate Zhou’s eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard that. After a moment of silence, he said, ” go to the Zhang mansion and reply that I’ll accept the invitation!

“Yes!” The servant replied.

When the person turned around, County Magistrate Zhou stopped him. He said, ” wait, did something happen in the Zhang Manor? ”

The servant replied respectfully, ” the Zhang family’s scholar Zhang sold his body to bury his father. I heard that he was bought by a mysterious child who has some connections with Ni Lai Wo w.a.n.g restaurant.”

Hearing this news, County Magistrate Zhou’s eyes narrowed. He said in disbelief, ” Zhang Yuanbin sold himself to bury his father, and he was bought by a mysterious child who has connections with Ni Lai Wo w.a.n.g restaurant? ” That child was most likely Lin yuelan.

Other than her, there shouldn’t be any other child who would be so generous and bold as to spend money to buy a weak scholar.

“Yes!” The servant replied respectfully.

County Magistrate Zhou waved his hand and said, ” you may leave!”

He was now guessing that Zhang Xingw.a.n.g’s greeting letter might be about Zhang Yuanbin being bought by Lin yuelan.

But then again, why did Lin yuelan want to buy a scholar?

It should be known that as long as a scholar was sold as a slave, no matter how talented he was or how bright his future was, it would be cut off. So, buying such a weak scholar was pointless.

County Magistrate Zhou was puzzled.

After Zhang Yuanbin received the 20 taels of silver from Lin yuelan, he settled his father’s funeral in a grand manner. After that, he went to the county government to report that he had nothing to do with the Zhang family in An ding County anymore. In the future, whether he was rich or poor, it had nothing to do with the Zhang family.

It was unnecessary for him to do this, but Zhang Yuanbin was resentful. Plus, in order to prevent more trouble in the future, he had to do this.

After this matter was spread to the Zhang family, the Zhang family immediately showed disdain and contempt, saying, ” Hmph, he just wants to attract the attention of our Zhang family on purpose. Does he think that we will go back on our word and bring him back to the Zhang family? This is simply a dream!”

As for the att.i.tude of the Zhang family, Zhang Yuanbin couldn’t care less.

Three days later, he carried a small bag and went straight to Ni Lai Wo w.a.n.g restaurant.

“What? You want me to be the restaurant manager?” Zhang Yuanbin looked at Lin yuelan in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief. However, he suddenly said with a lack of confidence in himself, ” but I only knew how to study in the past. I didn’t know anything about restaurant accounting and management.”

Lin yuelan said, ” you can learn! My restaurant is lacking a manager, and you’ve arrived just in time.”

Zhang Yuanbin was still hesitant and unconfident. He said, ” but…” but he really didn’t know anything about business. Was he really going to be forced to do this?

However, looking at Lin yuelan’s sharp eyes, Zhang Yuanbin swallowed his saliva and said with some caution, ” alright, I’ll try my best!” Anyway, he could learn if he didn’t understand.

Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” that’s right. Oh, let me tell you first, you’re still free. I’m just hiring you to be the manager.

“I’ll give you a three-month trial period.

“As for wages, the probation period is three months, and it’s one tael of silver per month. When you receive your wages every month, half of it will be deducted to repay your debt, and the other half will be given to you.

“After the three-month trial period, if you pa.s.s the a.s.sessment, you will continue to be the shopkeeper. Your salary will be doubled, but it will still be half-deducted and half-paid.

“However, if you don’t pa.s.s the test in three months, then I’m sorry, I’ll have to get you to draft a servant contract. That’s the only way you can continue to work here.”

She was telling Zhang Yuanbin that he had to be the shopkeeper even if he couldn’t. Otherwise, he would be turned into a servant.

But to Zhang Yuanbin, he was still a free man for now, and there was no better news than this.
