181: Chapter 181: Hao Yue and the others who didn't come! Jiuxiang Foods, whose staff were poached!

Su Yang first educated the three of them on the basics of starting a company and chatted about some business matters.

It turned out that both Ou Xiaoning and Zhan Qingfei were quite interested.

Later, Ou Xiaoning mentioned Hao Yue, Chang Yiting, and Mao Haixia again.

Huang Quan immediately pricked up her ears, feeling that these three men were a bit indecent!

"I invited them, but Mao Haixia said Hao Yue didn't want to come out, and she wasn't used to being alone... When Chang Yiting heard that Hao Yue and the others weren't coming, she didn't come either!" Ou Xiaoning looked at Su Yang with some regret. "It feels like even Brother Su has lost his appeal."

Su Yang retorted, "Are you blaming me?"

"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!" Ou Xiaoning quickly said with a chuckle, "Did Brother Su break their hearts?"

Su Yang didn't know how to answer that.

However, he could be certain that at most, he had only slightly hurt Chang Yiting's feelings.

When he first met Chang Yiting, she would ask some boring questions on wechat.

Su Yang didn't pay much attention to her, so she gradually stopped talking.

But his relationship with Hao Yue and Mao Haixia was absolutely innocent.

Huang Quan asked from the side, "Are those three dance students interested in Brother Su?"

"I reckon they are all interested in President Su!" Zhan Qingfei said with a smile, "One is quite obvious, and another is the prettiest, though she has a more introverted personality. But if President Su is willing to be a bit more proactive, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

"Brother Su has principles!" Huang Quan gave Zhan Qingfei a look of disdain, "Unlike you, who isn't picky at all. I haven't even settled the score with you from last time yet!"

"Don't mention it! Don't mention it!" Zhan Qingfei said, feeling a bit dispirited, "That girl I took from the bar last time gave me a scare the next day."

Ou Xiaoning asked curiously, "Why?"

"When I woke up the next day, her face gave me a fright!" Zhan Qingfei spread his hands with an expression of disbelief, "Can you imagine? She was like a completely different person from last night... She actually told me she had just removed her makeup!"

"That's how girls at bars are!" Su Yang said with a smile, "The makeup is quite thick, the lighting is dim, and with the atmosphere, everyone looks a bit attractive."

Ou Xiaoning giggled, "Brother Su seems quite professional!"

Su Yang laughed, "I own a media company, and I've witnessed firsthand the makeup artist's skill of turning decay into magic!"

Zhan Qingfei's eyes lit up, "President Su, can you introduce some pretty girls to me?"

"No!" Su Yang shook his head and refused.

"Why?"

"Don't go corrupting the people in my company!"

"Hahaha..." Ou Xiaoning couldn't help but laugh, "Zhan Qingfei, Brother Su has already seen right through you!"

After 《Fragments of Silver》, the resident bar singer switched to a few nice folk songs.

The four of them drank, chatted, and bragged, and before they knew it, it was eleven o'clock.

Walking out of the bar, feeling the evening breeze.

Looking at the shimmering city lights, Su Yang felt a sense of ease and joy.

Originally, Zhan Qingfei wanted to continue to the next round.

But Su Yang felt it was about time to call it a night.

Huang Quan said beside him, "Brother Su, can you take me home?"

"Alright then!"

And so, Huang Quan ditched Zhan Qingfei.

"You choose guys over friends!"

Zhan Qingfei grumbled, and after his designated driver arrived, he waved goodbye to Su Yang and Huang Quan!

This time, Huang Quan was quite restrained and didn't drink too much.

The two sat in the back seat of the car, and in the darkness, Su Yang knew a pair of eyes were watching him.

Soon, he felt a body leaning close to him.

Huang Quan explained seriously, "My head is a little dizzy, I just want to lean on you for a bit!"

"Mm!"

Nothing happened between the two in the car; Huang Quan just leaned against Su Yang like that.

Su Yang dropped her off at the entrance of her residential complex and only left after watching her go inside.

The next day, Su Yang got up early, had breakfast, and went to work at Jiuxiang Catering.

His daily routine was still very disciplined!

Jufan Holdings headquarters had not finished renovations yet.

The main office was simply renovated with high-end materials, allowing regular employees to move in and work.

But his office required a high-end finish, so he couldn't move in yet.

However, Jiuxiang Catering and Jufan Holdings were just on different floors, so it was easy to handle matters.

In the afternoon, Su Yang went to Jiuxiang Food, and the Jiuxiang Food cafeteria, managed by Weimeijia, had already been renovated.

The Jiuxiang Food cafeteria had two floors, with six hundred square meters of dining space on each floor.

The renovation style was quite minimalist and cost-effective; the walls were all painted slightly white, and then simply decorated.

It had the Weimeijia logo posted, along with the cafeteria dining requirements.

Then there were rows of plastic chairs and glass display windows.

Jiuxiang Food had also already discussed the cooperation method with Weimeijia.

Jiuxiang Food would deposit money into the employees' meal cards every month, and employees could choose the food they liked in the cafeteria themselves.

It was somewhat like a school cafeteria!

Each employee had a meal allowance of 50 yuan per workday, enough for three meals a day!

Roughly ten yuan for breakfast, and twenty for lunch and dinner.

Don't think this meal allowance wasn't enough.

It might not be enough if eating at restaurants outside, but it should be enough for most employees eating in the cafeteria.

At the very least, it could guarantee employees three dishes and a soup for lunch and dinner, including one main meat dish!

If employees wanted to eat better, they would have to top up and pay for it themselves.

The cafeteria didn't provide cigarettes or alcohol, but it would sell various snacks, drinks, and daily necessities.

Those employees who didn't live in the staff dorms and really had to go home for every meal.

Could use their meal cards to buy daily necessities, taking advantage of the company's benefits.

This could also be considered a disguised improvement in employee benefits!

For this, Jiuxiang Food needed to pay an extra 600,000 per month.

However, Su Yang felt this 600,000 was fine; after all, it was counted as part of the employees' salary and benefits.

So it wasn't a big problem for him to bear.

After inspecting the cafeteria, Su Yang was quite satisfied; it shouldn't be a waste of money!

Su Yang turned his gaze to Tan Yanghong, "Old Tan, how are the employees at the factories lately?"

Tan Yanghong replied, "They are all doing quite well!"

Su Yang frowned slightly, "But I heard that some employees have resigned recently!"

He looked at the enterprise management panel; the number of employees at Jiuxiang Food had dropped from its peak of over five hundred to four hundred and fifty-six.

Nearly forty or fifty people had left, and this had happened in the last three days.

Su Yang originally thought it was a special case, but he didn't expect another twenty or so to leave today...

In his view, such a large number of resignations was extremely rare.

After all, in his six companies, he had never encountered so many resignations!

Even the employees at the hotpot restaurant, which was more tiring, didn't resign this quickly.

Because the system had requirements for the number of employees, Su Yang was quite concerned about the headcount.

So even though Jiuxiang Food was still in a crisis, he had never thought about laying anyone off.

"A batch of employees did indeed resign recently!" Tan Yanghong smiled awkwardly, "They all resigned voluntarily."

Su Yang was quite cautious about firing employees, but voluntary resignations didn't require his approval.

"I feel like the benefits I give my employees are pretty good!" Su Yang said in a casual tone, "Now that the cafeteria is built and benefits have been improved, why are there mass resignations?"

Su Yang's tone was casual, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Tan Yanghong felt immense pressure!

This was the first time Su Yang had shown such a serious expression.

He didn't understand why the boss, who didn't care about Jiuxiang Food's losses, would actually care about resigning employees.

"Recently, Tunyun Food has been hiring on a large scale, so they jumped ship!"

Tunyun Food was a long-established big company in the food industrial park, and its scale and volume were not something that the current Jiuxiang Food could compare to!

Su Yang asked curiously, "Are their benefits better?"

If it was a big company like that, they could indeed offer better benefits than him.

"The benefits aren't that much higher!" Tan Yanghong said helplessly, "A monthly salary of 6500, with social security, two shifts, twelve hours of work per day, one day off per week, and room and board included!"
