Haven't seen a handsome guy before

"You're quitting?" Xiaoyan's face was instantly filled with surprise.

Li Muhan nodded. "Yeah. Is Uncle Qian inside?"

Before Xiaoyan could react, a slightly older girl nearby walked over and said, "Muhan, why do you suddenly want to leave? You've been here the longest out of all of us. If you leave, work won't be any fun anymore."

Li Muhan turned to the girl who spoke. "Sister Zhang, I... I can't really explain it all right now, but my leaving shouldn't affect much. Keep up the good work here."

"Hmph, you can leave, but you have to wait until Uncle Qian hires someone to replace you. Otherwise, we'll have to share your workload. Our shifts are scheduled perfectly right now; if you leave, we'll have to do more," a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy sitting on the other side said with a displeased look.

Hearing this, Li Muhan bit her lip. At this time, Sister Zhang glared at the young boy who had spoken, and then tried to persuade her to stay again, though her tone was a bit sarcastic and passive-aggressive.

"Muhan, why don't you think about it a bit more? We've been working together for so long, right? We'll miss you if you go. Plus, we'll have to do a lot more work. You wouldn't be that heartless, would you?"

Su Yang, who had been standing in the back holding Little Wan's hand and listening for a while, couldn't hold back anymore. He stepped forward and said, "Sorry to interrupt, but are any of you the boss?"

Hearing Su Yang speak, the three of them immediately turned to look at him.

Sister Zhang shook her head. "No, but who are you?"

"Who I am isn't important. Since you aren't the boss, could you please do me a favor and let him know we're here?"

Just as he was speaking, a chubby middle-aged man, about one point six meters tall and looking to be in his forties or fifties, walked out from a room next to the back kitchen.

As soon as he came out, the others called out, "Uncle Qian~"

"Eh? Why is Muhan here? Aren't you off today?"

Seeing him, Li Muhan stopped hesitating. She walked over to the man called Uncle Qian and said, "Uncle Qian, I'm here to resign. I just came to let you know."

"Resign?" Uncle Qian's expression changed, and he looked like he was about to lose his temper. However, he immediately held it back and asked with feigned concern, "What's wrong, Muhan? Did something happen? Why do you suddenly want to leave?"

Su Yang had already noticed this Uncle Qian. From the moment the man walked out, Su Yang had been sizing him up.

Setting everything else aside, just looking at his face gave off a bad first impression.

He gave Su Yang the feeling of being a very stingy, extremely harsh, and petty person.

Of course, judging a book by its cover isn't always fair.

But Su Yang wasn't just judging him by his looks. First of all, Li Muhan had told him earlier that she had worked here for over two years, and the boss had never paid any insurance for them.

Just based on that alone, Su Yang didn't have a good impression of the man. Secondly, Su Yang had a system.

When the man came out just now, he had the system scan his traits.

The system's evaluation was: stingy, two-faced, goes back on his word, and loves to make empty promises.

It was obvious that this guy was an old scoundrel. A sudden wave of nameless anger rose within Su Yang; he felt that everyone in this shop was completely fake.

Without waiting for Li Muhan to reply, he stepped forward and said bluntly, "Why so much nonsense over a resignation? The fact that Muhan came over to tell you in person shows she has good character. If it were me, I wouldn't tell you a damn thing."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes gathered on Su Yang.

"What are you looking at? Never seen a handsome guy before? Alright, Muhan, you've told him, so let's go."

"Wait!" Uncle Qian shouted at this moment.

"What?"

"Who are you?"

"Muhan's friend."

"Friend? Haha, fine, fine. She can leave if she wants to. I never said she couldn't, but she has to wait until I hire a replacement before she can go!"

Su Yang walked over to a table, sat down, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and looked at Li Muhan, deliberately asking, "Muhan, did you sign any employment contract when you started working here?"

Li Muhan shook her head. "No."

"Did they pay for your insurance?"

"No."

Su Yang blew out a puff of smoke, turned to look at Uncle Qian, and smiled. "Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"You didn't sign a contract, and you didn't buy insurance for your employee. That means she's basically a temp worker with no guarantees. So why should she have to wait for you to hire someone else before she leaves?"

Uncle Qian knew he was in the wrong, but he still stared at Su Yang with a shameless attitude, saying, "Because I am the boss! I pay their wages and give them a way to make a living! So they have to listen to me!"

"Haha, what a boss. Do you even know the labor laws?"

"No matter how big or small your place is, as long as there's an employment relationship, you must sign a labor contract. Muhan has worked here for over two years, and you haven't signed a contract or paid her insurance. You've already broken the law, do you know that?"

Looking at Uncle Qian's indifferent face, Su Yang shook his head. "Forget it. I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you, and I don't want to argue anymore."

As he spoke, he threw his cigarette on the floor, stood up, grabbed Li Muhan's wrist, and said, "Let's go."

"You're not allowed to leave!" Uncle Qian yelled, quickly running over to block the door with his fat body.

Seeing this situation, the others were a bit stunned. They thought she was just coming to give notice, but now it looked like a fight was about to break out.

Normally, for a small restaurant like theirs without an employment contract, there was no such thing as an official resignation anyway.

Coming over to say goodbye was already a sign of respect to the boss and the others.

But this boss didn't want to let her go. Of course, he had his reasons.

Mainly, it was because Li Muhan was very hardworking and diligent. Whether it was serving plates, mopping the floor, or washing dishes, she was the best at it.

Plus, she was cheap. At only 3000 yuan a month, one person could practically do the work of two or three.

How could the boss easily let go of such a naive, cheap, and useful workhorse?

Su Yang looked at Uncle Qian in front of him and said flatly, "Old Fart, I'll say this one last time. Get out of the way."

"Uncle Qian, just let me go. Let's part on good terms," Li Muhan hurriedly chimed in from the side.

"Shut up, you heartless brat! I've paid your wages for over two years. Without me, you wouldn't even have food to eat!"

"And I didn't say you couldn't leave! But you have to give me at least a month or two to hire someone. Otherwise, if you just up and leave, the others will have to take on your work. How can you be so selfish?"

Hearing this, Su Yang really couldn't hold back anymore. He stepped forward, grabbed Uncle Qian by the collar, and forcefully lifted his heavy body right off the ground.

"You dumb old fuck, I gave you face, didn't I? Get lost!" Under the astonished gazes of the others, Su Yang hurled Uncle Qian toward the door.

With a loud crash, Uncle Qian smashed heavily into the tables and chairs, breaking a long bench in half.

"Ahhh!" Uncle Qian screamed in agony as he lay sprawled on the floor.

Seeing this, the others immediately panicked and started screaming too. They had worked here for over a year and had never encountered anything like this before.

Although some of these people had mocked Li Muhan earlier, they weren't inherently bad. They naturally knew what kind of person Uncle Qian was, so none of them went up to help, not even to give him a hand up.

They worked here just trying to get by, as long as they themselves stayed out of trouble.

Su Yang turned his head, glanced at the few of them, and then pulled the dumbfounded Li Muhan and Little Wan, getting ready to leave.

However, he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks.

"Wait, I forgot something important." Su Yang said, looking at Li Muhan, "Have you been paid?"

"Oh right, uh, last month's hasn't been paid yet, and the pay for this month up to today is usually issued on the fifteenth of next month."

"Then we have to get the money before we leave." Su Yang said as he walked over to Uncle Qian, who was still writhing on the ground, crouched down, and said, "Did you hear that? Transfer the wages to Muhan."

'Transfer your ass!! You little bastard, if you have the guts, wait for me to get up. See if I don't kill you.'

"Oh? Is that so? Alright then." Su Yang quickly stood up, took two steps back, and smiled, "Come on, come and kill me."

Uncle Qian propped himself up on a broken chair nearby and climbed to his feet. The veins on his face were bulging, and his face was entirely flushed.

He turned his head, looked left and right, grabbed an iron can from the table, and charged at Su Yang.

Ahh!

The people behind immediately screamed.

Su Yang smiled slightly, too lazy to even dodge. Before Uncle Qian could get close, he delivered a light kick to the man's fat belly.

Bang! With another muffled thud, Uncle Qian fell to the ground once again, unable to get up.

Su Yang didn't want to waste any more time with him. He stepped forward, pressed his knee against Uncle Qian's back, grabbed his head, lifted him up, and said viciously, "Transfer the money. I'll say it one last time. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll smash your shop to pieces, believe it or not?"

"I don't believe you!"

"You don't? Good, good, good." Su Yang said, standing up and kicking a nearby table flying, then preparing to smash the cash register.

At this moment, Uncle Qian roared, "Stop!!"

"Didn't you say you didn't believe me?"

"I... I!! I'll transfer it!!"

"Wouldn't it have been better if you did this earlier? I'm a very reasonable person, and I don't like using violence."

Uncle Qian, trembling all over, took out his phone. He originally wanted to call the police, but fearing they would find out he hadn't signed contracts or bought insurance for his employees, he had to dispel the thought.

Gritting his teeth, he transferred the wages to Li Muhan.

Su Yang walked over to the dazed Li Muhan and asked, "Check if the amount is right."

"Oh, oh, okay." Li Muhan took out her phone, opened it to look, and nodded, "It's right."

"That's good then. Let's go." Having achieved his goal, Su Yang immediately bailed. He pulled Li Muhan and Little Wan, who had been watching the show, and quickly left the restaurant.

......

"Old thing, he wouldn't listen when I talked to him nicely, forcing me to use violence!"

Li Muhan asked with a face full of worry, "Brother Su Yang, will he... will he be okay?"

"What could happen? I controlled my strength, and with all that fat on him, it wouldn't cause any real damage."

"I'm really afraid he'll try to extort you or take revenge... He's actually a very petty person."

Su Yang turned his head and said, "And yet you managed to endure working here for over two years."

"I had no choice. Finding a job these past two years has been really difficult. Although many restaurants are hiring waitresses, I asked around back then, and the salary was also three thousand, so I just endured it and stayed here."

"By the way, don't you know how to make coffee? Why don't you check out some coffee shops?"

"I have. They want people with barista certificates. They don't want someone like me."

"Alright then, forget it. If that old fat pig has any guts, let him come find me. Let's not think about this anymore; let's find a place to have a big feast."
