Thinking of this, Zhou Yujie finally felt at ease.

Her beautiful eyes gazed at Wu Wei as she said earnestly, "Then thank you brother!"

Hearing the word "brother," Wu Wei couldn't help but be taken aback.

He hadn't expected Zhou Yujie to address him this way.

He had never heard this term of address in all his years.

Although he had several older sisters, they usually just called him by his name and didn't address him this way.

For a moment, a peculiar feeling arose in his heart.

What mattered more was that Zhou Yujie addressing him this way showed that she truly acknowledged their brother-sister relationship from the bottom of her heart.

And it wasn't just lip service as it had been before.

At this moment, a system notification popped up.

[Zhou Yujie's fondness +12]

Seeing the system's notification, Wu Wei was overjoyed.

To think it increased a whole 12 attribute points!

That far exceeded his previous expectations!

Zhou Yujie had previously added 17 attribute points all at once, breaking the record for a single increase, and now she had added another 12 points at once!

Now her fondness had jumped straight from 49 points to 61 points!

If it were a normal situation, 61 points of fondness would already be the level of having a crush.

But the situation with Zhou Yujie was clearly different.

Her feelings for him were more of being touched.

Wu Wei didn't care whether it was a crush or being touched, what he cared about was that he was only a few points away from earning attribute points!

Keep at it!

"Let's go sign the contract," he said.

Wu Wei patted Zhou Yujie's arm, his face beaming with a smile.

"Alright."

Once Zhou Yujie had no more concerns, a happy smile immediately bloomed on her face.

When the two returned to the private room, they found that the landlord had already arrived.

The landlord was a slightly overweight woman in her forties who seemed amiable and easy to talk to.

They immediately exchanged pleasantries.

Transferring the shop had to be approved by the landlord, and they also needed to sign a contract with her.

After a few words, everyone was very satisfied.

Zhou Yujie then signed her name on all the agreements and contracts.

While signing, her expression was very calm.

However, after finishing, her entire body couldn't help but start trembling.

The excitement in her heart was evident.

A bright future lay ahead!

After signing the contract, the landlord hurried off.

Yang Lixin followed Wu Wei and Zhou Yujie downstairs.

"Wang Xiong, gather everyone in the hall, I have an announcement to make!"

Upon hearing Yang Lixin's words, Wang Xiong immediately had a bad feeling, but he quickly got everyone together.

"Boss, everyone is here," Wang Xiong said, then took his place at the front of the first row.

Yang Lixin began, "I've called everyone together to announce an important matter. As of today, I am no longer your boss!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression showed surprise, and they began to whisper among themselves.

"I have transferred the shop, and everyone is mostly familiar with the new boss."

As he spoke, Yang Lixin turned and pointed to Zhou Yujie, "From now on, Zhou Yujie will be your boss!"

Listening to Yang Lixin, all the employees were instantly shocked.

Some were so stunned that their mouths gaped wide enough to fit a steamed bun!

What's going on here?

How did Zhou Yujie suddenly become the new boss?

Could she be the boss's mistress?

No, wait, the boss just said he had transferred the shop.

Where did Zhou Yujie get the money to buy such a big hot pot restaurant?

Could it be that the man with her bought it for her?

For a moment, the quiet hall instantly became noisy.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiong's entire being was so shocked he almost popped his eyes out.

His face instantly turned extremely ugly!

What do you do when your ex-girlfriend suddenly becomes your boss?

Online, and it's urgent!

"Welcome the new boss, everyone!"

Seeing everyone's shocked faces, Yang Lixin led the applause.

Although everyone hadn't fully recovered, they still clapped along.

Yang Lixin then said, "Please, new boss, say a few words to everyone!"

Zhou Yujie was stunned for a moment, but after all, she had been in sales before, so she wasn't too shy about speaking.

She thought for a while and then said, "Most of you should know me, so I won't introduce myself. I only have one thing to say: even though the shop has changed hands, everything else remains the same. Whatever it was like before, it stays the same now!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was reassured.

As workers, they feared a new boss would mean a clean sweep of changes.

They were even more afraid of the new leadership messing things up unpredictably. Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At this moment, Wu Wei suddenly said, "But there's one thing that needs to change!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Wang Xiong, who was at the very front of the team.

Feeling Wu Wei's gaze, Wang Xiong's face turned even uglier in an instant.

However, the expressions on everyone else's faces became fascinating instantly.

Current boyfriend versus ex-boyfriend.

Now this is going to be an interesting show!

Wu Wei looked at Wang Xiong with disgust and said coldly, "Wang Xiong, you're fired. Pack up your stuff; you can get lost right now!"

At these words, Wang Xiong was immediately shocked, then shouted at Wu Wei, "Who the hell are you to fire me?"

Zhou Yujie immediately said, "He's the major shareholder of the shop; what he says goes for me as well."

"You want to fire me? No chance!"

Wang Xiong angrily pointed at Zhou Yujie and said, "I have a labor contract. You can't fire me without a legitimate reason. Dare to dismiss me, and I'll go straight to the labor bureau to sue you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yujie couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that they can't really fire him?

"Who says I don't have a legitimate reason?"

Wu Wei scoffed: "How many times have you harassed my girlfriend recently, do you even remember?"

Wu Wei stared coldly at Wang Xiong: "Tell me, had the shop already closed at that time? As the manager, if you leave the shop several times during business hours, can you explain yourself? Is this reason enough to dismiss you?"

At these words, Wang Xiong completely deflated.

He had no response to this accusation.

As the manager, unless there are special circumstances, you must stay in the shop during business hours.

His multiple absences during business hours were recorded on the shop's surveillance; he couldn't deny it.

The most critical part was that the person he harassed was now the boss!

Now, his dismissal was definite!

Hearing Wu Wei's words, Yang Lixin's face also turned somewhat ugly.

He had not expected his manager to be so neglectful of his duties.

He had known nothing about it before!

Wu Wei looked at Wang Xiong with contempt before turning to Zhou Yujie and said, "You're the boss, so it's up to you to make the call on this matter!"

"Fine."

Zhou Yujie nodded, her gaze ice-cold as she looked at Wang Xiong and said directly, "Wang Xiong, you can get lost now!"
