With the backing of a county official, Liu Jin swiftly purchased Suixin Restaurant and candidly stated that his lady expressed interest in maintaining the establishment as an eatery. She inquired whether Liu Ming's staff would be taken along?
Liu Ming glanced at the restaurant he had painstakingly managed; the chairs were now overturned onto the tables, creating a particularly bleak scene. He never expected such an ending.
"Young Master, I am an outsider; the staff of this restaurant were all recruited locally. Why would they follow me back? However, I will ask them on your behalf when I distribute this month's wages," Liu Ming regained his composure and replied with a smile.
If it had to be sold, so be it. Since it could continue as an eatery, his original effort in setting it up was not in vain.
"That's fine. Our host plans to run it as an eatery, and having the old staff familiar with the business makes it easier to start," Liu Jin said with a smile.
