Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ever since Liao Ning had made up her mind to establish an interstellar hotel as soon as possible, she diligently arrived early at the hotel every day to assist Lin Wan and Yu Ni. Although her contributions may not have seemed significant most of the time, she had genuinely experienced the hardships faced by both of them. As the boss, she generously increased the salaries of Lin Wan, Yu Ni, and the other employees.
The employees, including the apprentices, held high praise for Liao Ning as their boss. They were grateful to have the opportunity to work under such a generous and considerate leader.
Finally, after a month, Lin Wan returned to the hotel with good news from the supervision department.
“The hotel can officially open tomorrow!”
Liao Ning, who had been lounging on the sofa, feeling a bit bored, immediately stood up upon hearing the news, startling Lin Wan.
Lin Wan patted her chest. ‘What are you doing? You scared me! If you jumped any higher, you would’ve pierced the ceiling!”
“I’m just too excited. We’re finally going to open for business. I can’t help but feel a rush of happiness!” Liao Ning hurriedly helped Lin Wan to sit down and began massaging her shoulders.
Lin Wan didn’t resist and settled into the sofa, enjoying the shoulder massage. “I feel much more relaxed now. The hotel staff, chefs, and managers can all start working immediately. I can finally get some proper rest.”
“Rest well. I’m giving you a month off, and it’s fully paid!” Liao Ning declared.
Just as Yu Ni arrived at the door of Lin Wan’s office, she overheard Liao Ning’s offer to give her a break. She immediately chimed in, “What about me? I want a break too!”
Liao Ning smiled. “You came at the perfect time. I’ve already reached out to Gao Yuan and Zhao Kuo, who ranked second in the recent food competition. They’ve agreed to join our hotel as teachers and train the chefs for our upcoming branch. They’re both talented chefs like you. In the future, the three of you can take turns to rest. As for how to arrange the rest periods, you can discuss it privately among yourselves. No need to report it to me.”
Yu Ni was taken aback. She never expected Liao Ning to invest so much money to hire Gao.
Yuan and Zhao Kuo just so she could have some rest. She knew that Gao Yuan, as a seasoned food live-streamer, had a massive fan base, and his live-streaming alone would generate substantial income.
As for Zhao Kuo, he was a renowned researcher of ancient food culture in the alliance, and his earnings were even higher than Gao Yuan’s.
Yu Ni was well aware of the commission Liao Ning must have paid to bring these two esteemed individuals to the hotel as apprentice teachers.
Sensing Yu Nits overthinking, Liao Ning intervened to prevent her from adding unnecessary mental burden. “What are you waiting for? Smile, Beauty Yu Ni!”
Having worked alongside Yu Ni for several months, Lin Wan had a good understanding of her personality. She chimed in, “You’ve worked hard in recent days. While the current apprentices are ready to begin work at the hotel, we aim to expand throughout the entire interstellar space. This means there will be more apprentices training for the hotel branch in the future. To manage the workload of the teachers and ensure their well-being, we decided to hire two additional experts in gourmet cuisine.”
“Lin Wan is correct. As the hotel gains popularity, I plan to approach other live-streamers and ancient culture food researchers who are interested in training chefs for our hotel. Don’t worry too much. I am considering the hotel’s development and not spending money recklessly.”
Since arriving on the capital planet, Yu Ni had been living a frugal life. There were times when she couldn’t help but feel concerned about Liao Nings extravagant spending. She had even reminded Liao Ning to have a budget plan on a few occasions, prompting Liao Ning to explain that she wasn’t spending money recklessly.
“I understand, but I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have met you,” Yu Ni replied, joining Lin Wan’s side and taking a seat.
Lin Wan poured her a cup of tea. “If you feel fortunate, then cherish this good fortune.”
“Lin Wan is right. Don’t always put so much pressure on yourself. You’re now my employee, and as your boss, I should provide support and assistance to my employees whenever possible. Think of it as an employee benefit that I have prepared for you.” Liao Ning patted Yu Ni’s shoulder to reassure her..
