Volume 1 Chapter 5 Long Live the Boss

  The bar wasn't big, but due to its good location, business was booming. The previous owner had hired five employees, who were now standing in front of Qin Yan.

  The tall and handsome guy with long hair is called Gao Mingjian, a bartender at the Rosemary Bar.

  A young man of medium build named Xiao Wu is in charge of lighting and sound.

  Yuan Xiao, a sweet and lovely round-faced girl, is a waitress and cashier, and also Xiao Wu's girlfriend. Compared to Yuan Xiao's sweetness and cuteness, Zhou Mengmeng is more fiery, although her appearance is only average, her figure is extremely hot, she is not only a waitress but also responsible for some miscellaneous tasks.

  The last one is Tang Yu Chen, also the only beauty among the three female employees of the Mojito Bar, who can score 85 points even with Qin Yan's strict requirements.

  Unlike Yuan Xiao and Zhou Mengmeng, being a waitress is just her part-time job. Her true identity is that of a student - Su Ying, a third-year student in the Broadcasting Department.

  After listening to the self-introductions of five employees, Qin Yan also introduced himself and found that several people were a bit shy. He smiled faintly: "Just do what you usually do, if there's anything, just find me, here... this is my number. Oh, by the way, after 12 o'clock at night to 10 o'clock in the morning, only beautiful women can call me, men's calls will not be answered."

  A joke made five people less awkward, in their hearts they felt this boss was quite unpretentious, only... couldn't he have a bit of a boss's demeanor?

  The bar owner is also a boss, although he can't be considered very dirty and doesn't have any unpleasant odors on him, but his appearance is really sloppy, staying in the bar might even affect business.

  "Boss, I...I want to advance three months' salary..." Gao Mingjian said suddenly in a low voice.

  "No problem."

  "Did you promise?"

  "Why don't you answer?"

  "Boss."

  Yuan Xiao, who serves as both a waiter and is in charge of the cash register and finances, hesitated: "This money will have to wait until tomorrow. The previous boss left and the company account for the bar was cancelled. We don't have a new account yet, so we can only pay Mingjian after we have some business income."

  Qin Yan was taken aback and immediately asked: "How much is three months' salary?"

  "Nine thousand."

  "What was the bar's daily revenue before?"

  "It's not always like this, when Su Ying is on holiday, the bar business will be much worse, usually...the average daily turnover is 5,000."

  "Three thousand a month for you? What about you guys?"

  Qin Yan asked calmly, "Has the bar been transferred? There are people who have taken care of it. He is almost unaware of the situation in the bar, and this question makes everyone's heart skip a beat."

  Does the new boss think they are overpaid and want to lower their salaries?

  Although his heart was full of worries, he couldn't help but answer the boss's questions.

  Xiao Wu's monthly salary is 2,500 yuan. Yuan Xiao and Zhou Mengmeng earn a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan because they also do other work in addition to being waiters. Tang Yuchen has the lowest salary, only 1,700 yuan per month.

  Qin Yan quickly calculated in his heart, the bar's average daily turnover was 5,000 yuan, which would be 150,000 yuan a month. After deducting rent, wine costs, utilities, taxes and other expenses, the net profit would be at least 60,000 yuan.

  The total salary of five employees is only 11,200 yuan, the previous boss was really dark.

  Little did he know that when he was secretly criticizing his former boss for being ruthless, several employees were having second thoughts, fearing that he might be even more ruthless than the previous one.

  "Starting from today, salary will be doubled."

  Qin Yan pointed to the bottom layer of the wine cabinet and said, "Yuan Xiao, go set up a company account. There's some money in there. First, prepay Gao Mingjian's salary for three months, and put the rest into the company account."

  Five people stared at him foolishly, even thinking they had misheard.

  They first thought that the new boss would cut their wages, of course, it's not like they didn't think about the good possibilities, but even if they racked their brains, they couldn't have imagined that their wages would be doubled!

  "Long live the boss!" Yuan Xiao's apple face flushed with excitement, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.

  "Long live the boss!"

  Gao Mingjian, Xiao Wu and Zhou Mengmeng all cheered together, but Tang Yuchen didn't say anything, just looked at Qin Yan with a curious gaze.

  Qin Yan found herself staring at him and couldn't help but smile: "No need to be too excited, nor do you have to take it seriously, although I wouldn't mind."

  "I mind." Tang Yu Chen smiled faintly.

  As the sky gradually darkened, Pingjiang City was bathed in a sea of lights, and the Mojito Bar also became lively, with soothing music floating in the air.

  Probably also aware of his own image, which may affect the bar business, Qin Yan, as the boss, did not appear, but hid in the narrowest office at the back, watching the 400-square-meter space through the surveillance camera that covered the entire bar, playing Three Kingdoms Kill on the computer.

  Of course, most of the time his gaze was focused on those girls from Su Ying, not sneaking a peek but openly 'appreciating' them.

  Huh?!

  Qin Yan suddenly looked at the woman sitting next to the bar.

  This is a very beautiful woman, about twenty years old. Although he has a crush on long hair, the short hair paired with that delicate face gives people an extremely special feeling, which is a temperament that long hair cannot express.

  However, his astonishment was not admiration, but because this woman had already taken eighteen shots of strong liquor from Gao Mingjian's hand and was almost paralyzed at the bar.

  Not far away, two little rascals were staring at her, with a package vaguely pinched in their hands...

  Two guys with hair dyed in all sorts of colors, clearly not good stuff, staring from afar at the extremely beautiful woman who's drunk and staggering on stage, their drool almost dripping down.

  "How come I've never seen this chick before? She shouldn't be Su Ying's, right?" Er Dun's face was filled with a mixture of surprise and eagerness, as if he couldn't wait to pounce on her.

  "Whatever!"

  The golden-haired rogue held a small paper package in his hand, and chuckled: "It's about time, let's go! It's been a long time since I've tasted such a high-quality product, tonight I'm going to indulge!"

  "You're done for if the big boss finds out!"

  "Haha... no big deal, let the boss use it first and then we'll use it, let's get started."

  Two men swaggered over, shoulder to shoulder, and soon arrived at the bar in front of a beautiful woman, sat down beside her, and gestured to Gao Mingjian: "Bring two cups of Blue Rhythm."

  Lan Yun is the signature cocktail of the Lavender Bar and most regular customers will order it.

  No one who has been in this place for a long time is stupid, Gao Mingjian of course knows who these two people are, they have more than once targeted single girls at the maze.

  "Xiao Long Ge, what's going on here..."

  Takashi Kō, while mixing drinks, looked embarrassed and lowered his voice, saying: "Why don't I treat these two cups, and you two brothers won't bother her. If something really happens, our boss will also have trouble."

  Today, the new boss just took office and doubled everyone's salary, and also paid him three months' salary in advance. He is not an ungrateful person.

  Although the guest's personal behavior has nothing to do with the bar, once something happens and it gets out, the bar will definitely be held accountable, he doesn't want the new boss to suffer along with him.

  "Bullshit! What the hell are you? Believe it or not, I'll wipe you out!" The punk glared at Gao Mingjian with a menacing gaze, his tone full of threat.

  "Beautiful girl, how about a drink?"

  On the other hand, the golden-haired rogue had already put his hand on the beauty's shoulder, and the beauty probably really drank too much, only subconsciously humming two sounds.

  What an opportunity!

  The golden-haired rogue took advantage of the opportunity to open the small paper package, and quickly poured the light blue powder from the package into the beauty's wine glass in front of her.

  Then he handed the wine glass to the beautiful woman who was drunk and unconscious, while holding up his own cocktail: "Beauty, come on, let's have a drink!"

  Gao Mingjian really wanted to stop her but didn't dare, his heart was burning with anxiety: if that beauty drank the wine, she would definitely be taken away by those two thugs, and inside it was a strong anesthetic!

  "Old... old boss?!" Gao Mingjian's eyes widened as he stared at a man walking towards him with a cold face.

  "Get out."

  A hand reached out from the beauty and snatched the wine glass, two thugs turned their heads to look, only to find a disheveled man with a messy hair staring coldly at them.

  The earringed punk was the first to react, and he growled menacingly: "Are you looking for death or what?"

  "Boss, no!"

  Just as the two sides were about to clash, Gao Mingjian suddenly became anxious. He didn't want the new boss to be implicated, but he also didn't want the new boss to take action. How could the boss be a match for these thugs?

  These two young punks are not scary, what's scary is the power behind them. Let alone a small boss who just opened a bar in Pingjiang, even some local business tycoons don't want to mess with these people. It's said that they have the backing of the top underworld organization in Pingjiang.

  Gao Mingjian hastily came out from behind the counter, repeatedly apologizing to the two thugs: "Two brothers, this is our bar's new boss, he just arrived in Pingjiang and doesn't understand anything, so... how about this, I'll take care of all your expenses today, and we'll consider this matter settled, what do you say?"

  "Kiddo!"

  Er Ding glared at Qin Yan fiercely, then patted Gao Mingjian's handsome face and hummed: "You kid are still sensible, since you just arrived in Pingjiang, I'll spare him this time."

  Of course, sparing Qin Yan doesn't mean they will stop taking action. The earring man naturally stretched out his hand to take over the wine glass in Qin Yan's hand and pour the wine mixed with anesthetic into the beautiful woman.

  Bang!

  He didn't manage to take the wine glass from Qin Yan's hand, because at the same time he stretched out his hand, Qin Yan grabbed an xo wine bottle from the bar and smashed it heavily on his head.

  The earringed thug let out a miserable cry, covering his head and collapsing to the ground. At the same time, Qin Yan's body moved, and his right hand had already grabbed the golden-haired thug's chin.

  "Ah... Ah... Ah..."

  The golden retriever didn't even have time to react, its mouth was pried open with great force, and then it felt a spicy **, which poured down its throat all the way into its stomach.

  The wine mixed with aphrodisiac was finally finished, but it wasn't drunk by a beauty.

  Ugh...

  The golden-haired punk was scared to death, kneeling on the ground with one hand propping up the ground and the other hand stretching out his mouth desperately. He knew better than anyone what would happen if he drank this stuff.

  On the other side, Er Ding finally woke up, stood up trembling, and pointed at Qin Yan, shouting: "You dare to move me, you little rabbit! I'll make you die a terrible death!"

  Qin Yan was too lazy to bother with him, so he directly pulled out a round stool from the card seat next to him and smashed it at his head, covering his face and ears.
