I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2225 Taking over the restaurant
"The restaurant can be given to you, and all the income can be given to you, but you cannot participate in the management of the restaurant." There was a hint of firmness in Jin Yueyue's words. Her eyes fell on Liu Jun, as if she was weighing something.

Liu Jun smiled and responded confidently: "Of course, I am not good at participating in management. I prefer to contribute my strength quietly behind the scenes. Moreover, I am not investing for nothing. I have a suggestion. How about investing in technology? 80% of the shares."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yueyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes involuntarily swept towards the crystal clear and fragrant top-quality wines on the table.

"Eighty percent sure, but can you brew wine?" There was obviously a hint of doubt in Jin Yueyue's tone.

She didn't know about other industries, but she knew all the winemakers in this divine world who could brew these exquisite wines, and none of them were young.

"Of course, many of these wines are brewed by me for fun. Unexpectedly, they are quite good." Liu Jun picked up a glass of wine and shook it gently. The wine rippled in the glass, giving off a charming aroma.

"Does anyone pay you for bragging?" Jin Yueyue rolled her eyes, with a bit of disdain and helplessness in her tone.

Although she knew that the other party was a creditor and should be polite when speaking, these words really made her angry.

She spent countless years researching the making of Haoyue Wine, and experienced countless failures and attempts before finally reaching a level that satisfied her.

And this guy said so casually that these top-grade wines that were much stronger than Haoyue wine were just his casual creations. How could this be possible? She would never believe it even if she was beaten to death.

Seeing this, Liu Jun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile.

"No one pays for bragging, but someone pays for drinking. It's nine million." Liu Jun said this lightly, as if nine million was just an insignificant number to him.

"Fuck you!" Jin Yueyue was choked, then her eyes widened and she cursed inwardly.

She clenched her fists, turned around and walked away, with a bit of anger and unwillingness in her steps. The more she drank, the more she regretted it. She thought to herself, why did she drink all that wine on impulse and couldn't resist the temptation?

It turns out that food given by strangers cannot be eaten, and wine given by strangers cannot be drunk. After a few bottles of wine, nine million was gone!

"Hey, you don't want to run away, do you? It's only nine million." Liu Jun's voice came from behind, with a bit of teasing and ridicule.

Jin Yueyue didn't even turn her head and said through gritted teeth: "I'll go get you the deed!"

Her voice revealed a sense of helplessness and determination. Her education since childhood taught her that if she owed something, she had to pay it back.

Although the other party seemed to be trying to cheat her on purpose, she did drink the wine, which was indeed priceless. It was only natural for her to pay for the wine.

Liu Jun looked at Jin Yueyue's departing back and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, as if everything was under control.

"Brother, do you want to take a concubine? Sister Yanli may not agree." Xu Baoer blinked her big eyes and suddenly said this, with a bit of mischief and curiosity in her tone.

The gentle smile on Liu Jun's face froze instantly. He shook his head helplessly, coughed lightly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? I'm planning to look for a manager."

As he spoke, he tapped Xu Baoer's forehead lightly with his fingers, his eyes full of doting.

"What management staff?" Xu Baoer was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Liu Jun to suddenly change the subject. She scratched her head and looked at Liu Jun with a puzzled look, her bright eyes flashing with a gleam of curiosity.

"The management staff of Hezhou City." Liu Jun explained patiently, his eyes looking through the courtyard wall, as if he had already seen the prosperous scene of this city in the future.

Hezhou City is a transportation hub, so it should play to its strengths, rather than allowing such a city with unique advantages to become a paradise for corrupt officials and a place despised by businessmen.

"Aren't you looking for that Chu Nanchang?" Xu Baoer frowned and asked in confusion.

Liu Jun had previously expressed his intention to promote Chu Nanchang, mentioned by Milo, to the management position of this city. How come he found another one?

"Sister Baoer, the management of this city cannot rely on Chu Nanchang alone." At this time, Yao Guangxiao spoke up.

Yao Guangxiao took a sip of wine and continued, "Chu Nanchang is upright and honest, which is his advantage, but it is also his limitation. Although this shopkeeper Jin is also a man of temperament, her subordinates are smooth and sophisticated, which can complement Chu Nanchang. Your brother has used a few bottles of wine to find a group of free labor!"

At this point, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile. He knew Liu Jun's way of employing people, which not only valued talents but was also good at discovering people's potential, and he could always find the most suitable candidate at the critical moment.

Xu Baoer showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and finally understood Liu Jun's intention.

The person Liu Jun had his eyes on was not Jin Yueyue, but Milo, Jin Yueyue's smooth-talking subordinate.

However, Liu Jun was very cunning and did not attack Milo directly. Instead, he recruited Jin Yueyue as his subordinate, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Boss, how is it?" Seeing Jin Yueyue coming out of the yard, Milo hurriedly went to meet her, his face full of worry.

He noticed that Jin Yueyue's face looked a little strange. Her eyes, which were usually full of energy, were now dull and even her walk seemed a little frivolous. Jin Yueyue was silent for a few seconds, then sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "From now on, call me the second boss."

Milo was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide open: "Second, Second Boss?"

He couldn't believe his ears. His boss was the mainstay of the Haoyue Restaurant. He was well-known on this street. How come he became the second boss just by serving a glass of wine?
"Then, what about the big boss?" Milo asked stutteringly, his heart already in turmoil.

Jin Yueyue raised her hand and pointed to the yard behind her, her eyes complicated: "Inside the yard, the young man among those people you brought back is now the big boss."

After saying that, she looked at Milo sadly, as if saying "It's all your fault", and then she walked away, her back looking particularly lonely.

Milo was still standing there in a daze, his mind was blank. Those people he brought back? Aren't they just some mysterious guests? Especially that young man, he looked very young, and there was nothing special about him except that he was handsome and very rich. Could it be that Jin Yueyue was bullied? Was she threatened?

Thinking of this, Milo's heart sank suddenly. The scale of Haoyue Restaurant today is all due to Jin Yueyue's management. She is like his own sister. Now someone dares to bully her on his territory?
The more Milo thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He clenched his fists unconsciously, digging his nails deep into his palms. Then he gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed to the front hall of the restaurant, shouting as he ran: "Everyone! Everyone assemble!"

In less than half an hour, all the staff of the Haoyue Restaurant were summoned to the courtyard. The chefs were holding kitchen knives, the waiters were holding brooms, and even the accountant was holding an abacus. More than 30 people filled the courtyard, all with confusion and nervousness on their faces.

"Brother Mi, what happened?" a young waiter asked in a low voice.

Milo stood on the steps, his face gloomy: "Someone is bullying our boss, right now in the backyard. Brothers, grab your weapons and follow me!"

"What? You dare to bully the boss?"

"Are you tired of living?"

"Let's go, fuck him!"

In a rage, the group rushed towards the courtyard where Liu Jun was. Milo rushed to the front and kicked the gate open, causing it to slam loudly.

"Listen up, everyone inside! Release our boss immediately, otherwise..." Milo's harsh words suddenly got stuck in the middle of his words because the scene he saw in the yard was completely unexpected.

It was still the familiar stone table, on which were neatly arranged several dishes of appetizers, which were delicious and mouth-watering.

Surrounding the dishes, there are many fine wines in exquisite porcelain bottles and several delicate wine glasses, which are sparkling with alluring luster.

There were four people sitting around the table, and the atmosphere was subtle and complicated. Three of them were the three mysterious guests he had brought back before, and the other was his boss, Jin Yueyue, who was usually strict but gentle.

At this moment, Jin Yueyue was holding one of the bottles of wine and sipping it with an intoxicated look on her face. Her big eyes, which were usually bright and shiny, had narrowed into a slit. There was a satisfied smile on the corners of her mouth. From her expression, she seemed to have been completely immersed in the world of wine, forgetting all the worries and sorrows, as if she had flown into a fairyland.

"Boss? Boss..." Milo stood aside and shouted stutteringly, with a bit of uncertainty and uneasiness in his voice.

He originally thought that the boss was in some trouble, so he hurriedly gathered everyone in the restaurant.

"What are you doing?" Jin Yueyue slowly opened her eyes and asked with a dissatisfied look on her face. There was also a hint of laziness and confusion in her voice due to drinking.

"Are you okay?" Milo asked cautiously, his eyes moving back and forth between the boss and the three guests, trying to catch a clue from their expressions.

"I'm fine. What's wrong with you?" Jin Yueyue glanced at him with a teasing tone in her voice. "Are you guys planning to revolt?" As she spoke, her gaze fell on the back of Milo. The waiters, chefs, and even the accountant of the restaurant were standing there with their tools in hand, looking nervous.

Milo was silent. He felt like he had made a big mistake. He originally thought that the boss, Jin Yueyue, was bullied or threatened by these three mysterious guests, so he rushed into the yard regardless of everything.

But now it seems that the boss not only did not suffer any harm, but was having a good chat with them and even tasting wine with them.

"Boss, please explain to me why you became the second boss and why you suddenly handed over the restaurant to someone else?" The head chef had a bad temper. He was busy stir-frying dishes in the kitchen when Milo suddenly told him in a hurry that the boss had been replaced.

This sudden news was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, making him furious. He could not endure this and almost lost his grip on the shovel in his hand.

"Yeah, why did it change?" Other employees of Haoyue Restaurant also gathered around, their faces full of confusion and dissatisfaction.

They have worked in this restaurant for many years and have deep feelings for it. Suddenly, the boss changed, which made them feel at a loss.

"Boss, what happened?" someone in the crowd asked loudly, with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in his voice.

Milo was obviously much smarter this time than last time. He chose to remain silent and did not follow others to ask Jin Yueyue. He just stood quietly aside, his eyes fixed on Jin Yueyue, as if waiting for her to explain everything.

Jin Yueyue was already a little tipsy at this moment, with half a bottle of clear liquid still left in the wine jug in her hand. Her face was flushed more obviously, and her eyes became blurry.
