Chapter 102: Zhou Zheng Takes the Initiative to Visit? (Fourth update, please subscribe!)

Qin Xuejian looked at Mo Li with some confusion.

In her opinion, since Mo Li offered her such high compensation, it was only natural for her to do these tasks for him.

It was nothing more than carefully identifying the characters on these papers and rewriting them in a more legible font.

Why would there be an extra bonus?

Qin Xuejian thought about it and felt a bit undeserving, so after a moment of hesitation, she said to Mo Li:

"Boss Mo, doing things for you is my job, so there's no need for an extra bonus."

"Our agreed-upon work content doesn't include these. Alright, start working now."

Qin Xuejian looked at Mo Li and saw that he had an unquestionable expression.

Then she looked at the papers in her hand, finally nodded, and with a somewhat complex feeling, picked up a pen and paper to begin her "translation" work.

Seeing Qin Xuejian engrossed in her work, Mo Li nodded with satisfaction and went to the back kitchen alone to start his own work.

Previously, considering that Qin Xuejian might need a few days to adapt before fully getting the hang of Mo Ji Snacks's work,

Mo Li had specifically postponed the matter of supplying 5,000 braised pork buns to An Ran's Heyuan for a few days.

The daily meal preparation quantity at Mo Ji Snacks was still the usual amount.

As long as Qin Zisu arrived on time at 7 o'clock to help, whether Qin Xuejian helped in the back kitchen or not didn't make much difference.

Perhaps the 1,000 yuan bonus served as an incentive.

Or perhaps the task wasn't as difficult as Mo Li had imagined.

In any case, Qin Xuejian finished the translation work in just half an hour, handing several A4 papers filled with neat handwriting to Mo Li.

And, as Mo Li had instructed, each "translation" included the original messy handwriting and its corresponding number.

Mo Li quickly flipped through them, nodding with satisfaction.

"Well done! I'll give you the bonus now..."

With that, Mo Li directly took out his phone and transferred money to Qin Xuejian.

If he promised to give it, he had to deliver. Mo Li didn't have a habit of going back on his word.

Qin Xuejian hadn't expected Mo Li to be so straightforward and was caught off guard, looking a bit stunned.

"Alright, I've transferred the money to you... Take a look."

Mo Li's voice brought Qin Xuejian back to reality.

"Ah... Tha... Thank you, Boss Mo."

Qin Xuejian quickly checked her phone as Mo Li instructed and found that her WeChat balance indeed had an extra 1,000 yuan.

All of this made Qin Xuejian feel a bit unreal.

In the past two years, she had worked many jobs in her hometown county, and the bosses she encountered were one more stingy than the last.

Wages in her hometown were already low, and those bosses still found ways to deduct pay.

Qin Xuejian had never imagined that there could be a boss like Mo Li in the world, who not only offered high wages but also gave bonuses as promised, without any hesitation.

At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into Qin Xuejian's mind.

If only she could keep working for such a good boss.

Thinking of this, Qin Xuejian secretly glanced at Mo Li, secretly making up her mind to cherish this job and work hard.

Days passed one by one.

As Qin Xuejian spent more time working at Mo Ji Snacks, she became more and more proficient.

Mo Ji Snacks officially began supplying braised pork buns to An Ran's Heyuan.

Except for a few crucial steps that Mo Li had to oversee, Mo Li confidently entrusted most of the back kitchen work to the sisters Qin Zisu and Qin Xuejian.

Besides supervising in the back kitchen, Mo Li also had more time to research spices.

After organizing them by number, Mo Li quickly restored the insights that Qin Xuejian had helped him "translate."

It must be said that the old Chinese doctor's research into spices was too authoritative, too much of a dimension-reducing blow.

After several days of research, Mo Li was well-versed in the characteristics, effects, and even the approximate role of the more than twenty spices mentioned in the "insights" when added to the braising liquid.

Previously, when using spices, he had followed the secret recipe completely, knowing what to do but not why.

When trying to make braising liquid by grinding spices into powder,

he had no direction on which spices could be ground more or less, purely guessing.

But now it was different.

Based on the spice knowledge he learned from the insights, Mo Li intentionally made several pots of braising liquid every day.

Based on the final state of the braising liquid, he would further adjust the ratio of spice powder to spice chunks.

As the number of experiments increased, Mo Li believed he was very close to the correct new recipe.

This day, at 3 PM.

Mo Li was alone in the shop experimenting with a new braising liquid recipe when his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Bai Zhi, Lawyer, and the call was quickly connected.

"Boss Mo, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Go ahead..." "I did a background check on Zhou Zheng and found that he is a complete scoundrel. I'm a bit worried that Zhou Zheng will refuse to pay compensation after we win, so I want to apply for property preservation first to freeze some of Zhou Zheng's assets."

Mo Li was secretly pleased.

Isn't this a good method? Why did Bai Zhi, Lawyer's tone sound a bit serious?

"Lawyer Bai, I don't know much about this, but I think you've thought it through very carefully. Do you need me to do something?"

"Yes, to apply for property preservation, we also need to provide equivalent collateral."

"Sorry, could you explain it more clearly?"

"Simply put, for us to apply for property preservation, freezing a total of 1.65 million of Zhou Zheng's assets, we also need to provide 1.6 million in collateral."

Mo Li's eyelids twitched.

1.65 million?

Where was he going to get 1.65 million?

After buying the No. 96 shop, Mo Li's account didn't have much money left, and only about half a month had passed since then.

Even with the past half month's revenue, it was only about 450,000, which was far from enough.

The only way was to mortgage the No. 96 shop at market price. The market price of the No. 96 shop was around 1.2 million, and only then could he gather 1.65 million.

"Why do I always feel like I'm so short on money..."

Mo Li couldn't help but complain, then after a brief consideration, he honestly explained the situation to Bai Zhi, Lawyer.

Bai Zhi, Lawyer directly suggested to Mo Li:

"Boss Mo, as long as we can gather the amount, this step is very necessary."

"Over the years, I've seen too many cases where lawsuits were won, but not a single penny of compensation was received..."

"Please trust me, compensation that can actually be obtained is true compensation; what cannot be obtained is meaningless!"

Mo Li strongly agreed with Bai Zhi, Lawyer's point of view: money only has meaning when it's actually in hand!

To go through all that trouble only for the other party to become a deadbeat, getting not a single cent, was meaningless.

Mo Li considered it briefly and then agreed to Bai Zhi, Lawyer's suggestion.

That afternoon.

Mo Li was in the shop pondering whether the century eggs in the remaining constant-temperature cabinet were almost ready and if he should open a few early to check the effect.

Zhou Zheng, looking somewhat haggard, walked into Mo Ji Snacks. As soon as he entered, he shouted to Mo Li:

"You win! I'll refund your rent, and I'll also compensate you for 3 months' rent according to the lease agreement, totaling 90,000 yuan.

As long as you withdraw the lawsuit, I'll give it to you immediately!"

Seeing Zhou Zheng's haggard appearance, Mo Li roughly guessed what had happened.

Most likely, the property preservation had taken effect.

What?

Things have progressed to this point, and you still think 90,000 yuan will solve everything?

Aren't you thinking a little too optimistically?

Do you really take me for a fool?
