Guild Boss's Ambition

And when I think about the fact that everyone will be able to make their relationships public in the future, I can’t help but feel a little excited!

"Hey, Senior Lan Nong, Miss Ehard is really a wise president!"

Senior Lan Nong glanced at Miss Kololo and gave a meaningful smile.

"Yes, Sister Meng'er did a great job, right? Miss Ke Luoluo."

"Hmm?" Miss Ke Luoluo responded thoughtfully: "Hmm!"

Afterwards, the lunch time for the three of us came to an end.

17. A tryst with Sister Meng Er (Xiao Lan)

(Ulu-Lannon)

"Well, two seniors, Gu Shan will go back to work first."

"Me too."

"Bye-Bye."

After saying goodbye to Gu Shan and Miss Korolo for a while, I fell into deep thought.

After a long time, I stood up and walked out of the lounge.

I didn't go back to the third floor to look for Ebi.

Although I have mastered the basic identification skills, I still haven't won the recognition of Mr. Hai. He has given me several tests, but I failed all of them. As Mr. Hai said before, a task appraiser must have rich knowledge and experience. However, as a visitor from another world, I obviously don't understand the battles of adventurers at all.

Although I was reluctant, I temporarily gave up my plan to become a task assessor.

Instead of sitting around and chatting with Hai Lao and reflecting on life, I might as well go and report to Sister Meng'er the results of my meditation in the past two weeks. Yes, dear viewers, don't think that I sit next to Hai Lao every day just to read photo books. As a poster girl with high professional ethics, I am naturally always thinking about work.

Just as Ebi said, those photo books are indeed just reference books (probably).

Anyway, I knocked on Sister Meng'er's door.

Without waiting for her to respond, I walked straight in.

Then I saw her lying flat on the floor in a very indecent manner, holding a pancake in her mouth while checking the latest financial statements of other guilds like a girl flipping through a comic book. She looked so relaxed that she couldn't be more relaxed.

When she saw me suddenly appear, the pancake in her mouth dropped to the ground in surprise.

"Why don't you sit on the chair instead of lying on the ground?" I asked, stroking my forehead.

"I'm sorry, it just happened naturally..." she replied with a wry smile.

"Please try your best to maintain the dignity that a guild president should have."

If Gu Shan and the others saw Sister Meng'er's lazy attitude, God knows what rumors would spread tomorrow -

Noticing that I was a little angry, the shrewd Miss President quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Xiaolan, you must have something important to tell me when you come to see me at this time, right? Well, please take a seat, and let's talk slowly, slowly."

I gave her a cold look and sat down at her desk.

She smiled awkwardly, poured me a cup of hot tea, and then sat down in her seat.

Before saying those things, I asked a tentative question.

"Sister Meng'er, what do you think we should do at this stage?"

Sister Meng'er lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then she looked at me and smiled and said, "We have many different ways to stabilize the foundation of the stone house, but since you suddenly came to me today, Xiaolan, you must have your own ideas, right?"

"That's a pretty good answer."

I heard the answer I wanted to hear, so I smiled back at her, spread out my palm, and raised five fingers: "Regarding the current state of the Stone House, I have five things I want to discuss with you, President Ehard."

Noticing the change in the title, Sister Meng'er was stunned at first, then nodded seriously.

“What five things?” she asked.

I organized the conversation and said, "First, Berlani told me that as the quality of the food provided by the kitchen has improved, our restaurant has gradually attracted more diners, and the lady on the first floor is beginning to feel the pressure."

"I've noticed this situation, and it's time to hire someone."

"But the question is how many people should we hire?" I asked.

She thought about it and suggested, "How about hiring two permanent workers and one temporary worker for the time being?"

In terms of grasping the manpower needs, Sister Meng'er, who has more than two years of practical management experience, is undoubtedly better at grasping the precise numbers than I am, so I agreed to her proposal without hesitation, and only added: "Then let's hire another permanent worker."

"Why?" she asked.

"That brings me to the second thing."

I smiled sincerely and gave Sister Meng'er the good news: "I have talked to Berlani recently. She has great potential in art. It is a bit of a waste of her talent to let her stay in the lobby. I think the guild should give her professional training in art development. I believe that Berlani, who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, will be able to repay the guild in the future."

Sister Meng'er was also happy to hear this. She smiled at first, but then frowned: "If Berlane retires, who will take her place? Annie, who is most familiar with waitressing, has been moved to the bar, and the other waitresses only have two months of experience. Without Berlane, I'm afraid there will be problems."

I nodded in agreement and smiled again. "It is precisely because we want to prevent the negative effects of personnel changes that I have the third thing I am about to say. Before Berlani leaves, I hope she will teach Gu Shan the skills of being a foreman."

"Why is it Gushan? Isn't she still very young?" Sister Meng'er raised her question.

Yes, Gu Shan is only twelve years old.

To be honest, children of this age should not be out in public.

I sighed and said what I was thinking: "Let's talk about the facts. If the other two girls were not unsuitable to be foremen for various reasons, I would not want Gu Shan to bear too much responsibility. However, Gu Shan is a little adult. I believe she should be able to adapt to the job of foremen quickly, and I believe she is very willing to receive a higher salary."

"Can't we hire someone else to be the foreman?" Sister Meng'er was still a little worried.

I shook my head helplessly. "Suddenly bringing in a foreman would make the original hostess feel disgusted. Besides, the authority of a restaurant foreman is not very large. Even if Gu Shan really does a bad job, there is Annie who is helping to look after the bar next door. I think it won't be a big problem. Maybe we can let Gu Shan try first. If it really doesn't work, then we can find another candidate then?"

"Well... well, let's decide this way for now."

Sister Meng'er, who couldn't think of any better way, had to agree with me.

After deciding on the third thing, my uneasy mood was immediately swept away by the fourth thing.

It was a major event that was celebrated by everyone.

But when I thought that I seemed to own one-fifth of the shares of the stone house, my mood became a little subtle again.

I was neither sad nor happy, and said calmly: "Sister Meng'er, let's talk about the fourth thing?"

"what's up?"

"Since the guild has made money, shouldn't we also adjust the salaries of our employees?"

When she heard about the salary adjustment, Sister Meng'er immediately showed a painful expression.

But she was a sensible person after all. Once I reminded her, she put aside her petty habits: "Indeed, everyone has performed well recently, and it's time to give them a raise. I will add 30 silver coins to the monthly salary of the three newcomers. As for Annie..."

Speaking of Senior Annie, Sister Meng'er's tone became hesitant.

Today, Anne, who has successfully restored Bloody Mary, undoubtedly has a very high market value; however, she has a very strong sense of belonging to the Stone House, and even if we don't give her a raise, she probably won't have any complaints.

but……

"Sister Meng'er, what on earth is there about Senior Annie's salary that is worth your hesitation?"

I stared at Sister Meng'er's eyes in dissatisfaction──

She met my gaze, understood my expression, and then gave a shameful smile.

"Xiao Lan, do you think the monthly salary of 15 gold is appropriate?"

After roughly estimating the bar's monthly performance, I nodded and replied calmly, "If we only calculate the current performance of Senior Annie, this is a reasonable price."

Hearing this, Sister Meng Er smiled bitterly again: "Then add three gold coins. That's what the Stone House owed her in the past."

Recalling the past, she sighed with emotion: "Helping someone in need is such a noble phrase! The debt of gratitude that Stone House owes to Sister Annie is truly priceless. I don't even know how I can repay her."

I looked at the distressed Sister Meng'er, and after a while, I chuckled.

"Of course, a debt of favor should be repaid with favors, but did Senior Annie really want to get anything in return from you? In my opinion, she stayed just because she wanted to. If you keep thinking about who owes whom, it will only complicate things. In the end, it was just a token of her kindness."

Just like how I worked hard to provide my sister with books and tuition in the past, I thought that Anne’s sacrifice must have been a natural action. Our efforts are not for the sake of seeking rewards, but we have already fulfilled our ideal selves when we make selfless contributions.

As for the other party’s return?

Is there really anything worth looking forward to in a shabby and crumbling guild?

18. Positioning of the Stone House (Xiao Lan)

(Ulu-Lannon)

"Some are just a token of my appreciation?"

Because of my self-satisfied persuasion just now, Sister Meng'er immediately became thoughtful. She is a person who values ​​friendship, but the heavy burden of the Stone House forces her to put money first in everything. After being in that money-making world for a long time, people will inevitably have some rigid thinking. Otherwise, with Sister Meng'er's nature, why would she have hesitated about Senior Annie's salary just now?

In fact, the president is often very willing to spend the hard-earned money.

She has never been stingy with the money she should spend.

After a long time, Sister Meng'er suddenly slapped her cheek hard.

"Okay! The reflection is over! Xiaolan, you can tell me the fifth thing now!"

She seemed to have figured something out, her eyes were full of brilliant light, just like a climber looking at the proud peak, her eyes were full of confidence, she knew clearly what she wanted to get, and what kind of difficulties and challenges she wanted to conquer!

I was very curious about this subtle change in her, but I still had to report unfinished business first.

"The fifth thing is just a rehash of the past. That guy Stallone must be plotting something. Sister Meng'er, you must be careful!"

"That's it?"

"Yes! That's it!"

"Nothing else to report?"

"Nothing else to report!"

"Oh……"

"Why do you have such a disappointed expression? How much do you expect from me?"

"No... I just thought you were going to come up with some other cash cow similar to Morningstar."

I was immediately furious and quickly dispelled her fantasy: "Please don't hold such high expectations of me. Even if you let some necromancer dissect my brain, I can't squeeze out a second cup of Morning Star! When it comes to career, please be down-to-earth and don't aim too high."

Sister Meng'er stuck out her tongue, touched her head, and agreed repeatedly.

"Yeah, yeah, I will keep my feet on the ground. I will keep my feet on the ground."

I rolled my eyes at her and waved goodbye to her. "Okay, now that I have finished what I want to say, I will go back to find Hai Laolu. You stay here and work obediently. Remember not to do anything inappropriate again!"

After saying this, I pulled away and was about to leave.

However, Sister Menger grabbed my arm.

I looked back at her in confusion.

She looked at me with resentful eyes and complained, "Xiao Lan, do you really not like getting along with your sister? As soon as you finish talking about business, you immediately go to find your elder brother? Just now you have finished talking about your five things, so it is my turn as the president to express my opinion, right?"

"Hey! I went to harass you just because I was worried that I would disturb you at work!"

"So, what do you want to discuss with me?" I sat down again and asked sullenly.

However, for some reason, Sister Meng Er suddenly looked excited: "Hey, Xiao Lan, our Stone House seems to have made a lot of money recently, right? So, should we start thinking about those longer-term things?"

I replied expressionlessly: "Isn't it a long-term investment to improve our infrastructure and services now?"

She put on an expression that said you know nothing, and confidently denied me, "No! No! What I want to tell you, Xiaolan, is something more long-term and to the point! Let me put it this way, you have been in Mopolis City for two months. In your opinion, what kind of existence is the Adventurer's Guild?"

"An adventure brokerage organization that provides food, lodging, and entertainment?" I thought about it and tried to answer.

"Yes! From a functional point of view, the Adventurer's Guild is just like what you described, Xiaolan!"

At this point, Sister Meng'er suddenly perked up and criticized, "However! Isn't such a simple adventurer's guild too boring? In my impression, the Stone House is not just a simple business. It should be more humane, and the relationship between people should be closer. At the same time, it also comes with some great and special value!"

“Set a clear goal for the organization.”

Although I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, I was really moved to hear such constructive remarks from Sister Meng’er. I wiped away the invisible tears of relief and continued her words: “After actually coming into contact with the Adventurer’s Guild, I also feel that it is not quite the same as I imagined. Although it is an important facility for humans to fight against monsters, it makes me feel that there is something missing... a kind of... a kind of…”

I didn't quite know how to describe what was in my mind, but Sister Menger just said what I was thinking.
