Inside the shop, the doors were closed again by the two waitstaff. Finn Lewis then walked over to Hannah Lincoln, looking at the hand imprint on her face, and asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, thank you, boss.” Hannah’s gratitude was genuine. She’d been in this circle for quite some time, and the clientele of the Moon of West Lake has always been wealthy. She understood their character all too well. Experiencing violence was nothing new— it had happened to one of the waitstaff before.
The wealthy culprit preferred to throw tens of thousands of yuan as compensation rather than apologize. Hannah remembered his words, “Do you think you’re worthy of my apology? I’m giving you money as compensation, as an acknowledgment of your existence. Is 100,000 yuan enough?” So, he had his assistant hand over 100,000 yuan. Although the waitstaff was unhappy, what could they do? They had no recourse. To these people, money was nothing. However, saying sorry wasn’t as simple as they wished it to be.
For these people, Hannah was no different from the waitstaff. Although no compensation had been given today, making the young man apologize to her in person felt incredibly satisfying- more so than taking home a million yuan.
“What are you thanking me for? You are my employees, and I should stand up for you. Not just Hannah, but to all other staff: if anyone dares to cause trouble, call me. I’ll handle it. I don’t believe that these people are untouchable. Some of them need a lesson- and if nobody else is going to do it, I will.” Finn waved his hand and spoke. To him, rich people like Archer Tyson were just burning through their wealth carelessly, needlessly drawing unnecessary attention.
Hannah chuckled. There were many employees in the surroundings as Finn spoke. His words brought a sparkle to their eyes. A boss like him was rare to see.
Not only did he stand up for them, but what he just did was also pretty cool.
The waitstaff, many being young girls, surely found Finn’s actions very manly.
“You all can go back to work. Remember what I said. If anyone bullies you or anything like what happened today occurs, inform Hannah. Let her call me, I’ll handle it. Don’t worry about troubling me. If you work in my shop for a day, it is my responsibility to look after you. Do you understand?” Finn looked around at the employees and said loudly.
“Yes boss, we understand.” The young waitstaff replied in unison, then cheerfully went back to work.
“Hehe, I’ve decided to stop chasing the Southland Country stars. Our boss is far much reliable than those stars. He’s my idol from now on.” A voice from one of the waitstaff came from the side.
“Me too.” Another voice chimed in agreement. Hannah chuckled at the side. Finn’s old face flushed slightly, but he waved it off, “Tell me what exactly happened. ”
While Fishy Wells was busy outside, Finn listened to Hannah as she explained the recent events. After listening, he found it funny and mused to himself how people’s thinking can be so strange. It appears that people yearn more for the things they can’t have.
Ever since Finn purchased this shop, or rather adopted the Prodigal strategy, the shop was specially set out for Kay Lee and open 24/7. While Hannah and the others might have called him prodigal numerous times, whatever their boss says is law. Hence they naturally followed Finn’s rules.
But the Moon of West Lake had its regular customers. Many of these were wealthy, considering the high expense level of the shop. When the regular customers heard of the changes, their first instinct was that Hannah was joking. Upon confirming it, though they saw the truth, they still found it hard to believe.
This doesn’t make any sense! The shop is huge. It must have cost tens of millions to buy. Which prodigal person would buy a shop yet not run it? It remains open 24/7, serving only one person, and we don’t even know who that person is or when they would come? Doesn’t it sound like nonsense? Even Charlie Lee, the richest person in the Asian Continent, wouldn’t be so prodigal, would he? Are there even wealthier people inland? Maybe, but they have certainly never been known for such prodigality, right?
Many indeed didn’t believe it. You wouldn’t believe it, lots of these regular customers are wealthy but idlers. Some of them actually parked their cars here to see what was happening. Since these people didn’t enter the shop, Hannah couldn’t ask them to leave. Thus, the Moon of West Lake became oddly famous amongst the wealthy. The snowball effect worked as the news spread from ten to a hundred, making the shop well-known.
Cynics were plenty. Some even offered to pay ten times the original price upfront to Hannah in order to enter the shop and satisfy their curiosity. They wanted to know who is this prodigal person and for whom the shop was specifically open?
Unfortunately for them, Hannah couldn’t let them enter. Even if they offer a hundred times the price, they wouldn’t dare let them in without Finn’s approval. That’s how the situation was. Even though it wasn’t long, the Moon of West Lake’s reputation had spread. Finn found it amusing yet weird when he knew about it. Finn had initially thought that if Kay knew about all this, she would be touched. It’s said women are emotional creatures. If she was moved, it would be easier to get to her. But who knew Kay only came once, and these rich folks had way too much free time on their hand. They even made his reputation go public. Finn felt a little bit of toothache. However, there was nothing much he could do as he obviously couldn’t start normal business now. Those who offered ten times the original price were just satisfying their curiosity. If you let them in, there’s no way they would offer ten times again the next time- they’re not fools..
