Chapter 388: Pig Innards

Translator: Lonelytree 

Ning An town was only so big, so it was not surprising for people in the same trade to know each other well.

So, if Li Huaisheng was familiar with those people, they should be familiar with the boss of Xiangyun Pavilion too.

When Li Huaisheng heard Lin Yuelan’s question, he was shocked. His face became more serious, and there was even faint anger on his face. He asked suspiciously, “boss, are you suspecting something?” These people were probably sent over by Xiangyun Pavilion as spies.

Lin Yuelan sneered, “Those three people might not have had any problems with their character before this, but when faced with such a huge temptation, it was inevitable that they would be moved.”

Therefore, these three had already been bribed by Xiangyun Pavilion before they joined Linyue Pavilion.

Li Huaisheng immediately became angry. “Those three bastards. Do they really think that I am old and easy to bully?”

Lin Yuelan didn’t care. She said sharply, “Li Huaisheng, I’ll give you a warning for your mistake this time. Your bonus for half a year will be canceled. If this happens again, you’ll take your bag and leave! I don’t need an impetuous shopkeeper!”

Whether it was in modern or ancient times, human resources was the most important part of the development of a business. The boss couldn’t do everything by himself, so he had to hire people. An effective leader knew how to hire the right people.

Lin Yuelan didn’t doubt Li Huaisheng’s management ability. However, his kindness might be his biggest weakness.

In the business world, there was only profit and no morality. Sometimes, for the sake of profit, one could resort to unscrupulous means.

However, a handful of them would retain their kind nature. However, their kindness would only be directed at innocent people. They would be ruthless when handling other competition too. That was something Li Huaisheng needed to learn. He could be kind, but he couldn’t be kind to the competition.

Li Huaisheng heard Lin Yuelan’s warning and immediately said, “boss, I won’t do it again!” He had almost allowed their opponents to succeed in their plot. If he hadn’t accidentally caught one of them, they would continue to fester inside Linyue Pavilion. They would cooperate with Xiangyun Pavilion to bring down Linyue Pavilion.

Now that he thought about it, the three had voluntarily approached Li Huaisheng to tell him that they had been offered a better job at Xiangyun Pavilion. Li Huaisheng raised their salary to convince them to stay. Now he realized they were just playing hard to get. They stayed with a higher salary while still acting as spies for Xiangyun Pavilion.

Li Huaisheng was fearful. He didn’t think that the people he hired would have such a deep conspiracy.

Li Huaisheng said seriously, “Boss, when I recruit people in the future, I will definitely test their character!”

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “in the future, all the employees in the store will have a three-month trial period. In these three months, give them half of the salary of a regular worker. Make sure they do not have access to the core of the business.”

No matter how sharp a person’s vision was, there were times when he would make a wrong judgment. Therefore, only time could be trusted. Time was the best way to test a person’s character.

Li Huaisheng’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said excitedly, “yes, boss!”

Lin Yuelan thought of the business at Xiangyun Pavilion and said, “if Xiangyun Pavilion wants to poach people again, let them do it. If people say that they want to leave, just let them leave. We are not going to keep these people.”

Li Huaisheng replied, “yes, I understand!”

Three months would be enough to test a person’s character.

When Lin Yuelan and Li Huaisheng came out of the house, they saw an adult and a child sitting quietly in the hall. As soon as she saw Lin Yuelan come out, Liu Jiaying immediately ran over and said, “Yuelan, have you finished the discussion?” She was smart enough not to ask what they were talking about.
