Lin Xu looked at Dou Wenjing, who was holding a box of miscellaneous items. She doesn’t seem like she’s here for an interview, but rather ready to start working right away, he thought.
He asked with a smile, "Wenjing, what was your monthly salary at my father-in-law’s company?"
"Listed companies usually offer an annual salary. Mine is three hundred thousand, which averages out to twenty-five thousand per month."
The fans in the live streaming room, who were waiting to eat Pagoda Meat, were surprised:
"What the heck is happening? We were just cooking, and now there’s an interview going on?"
"Have we crossed over into some domineering CEO’s territory?"
"I’m not convinced by a domineering CEO who doesn’t have a sinister and wild smile."
"This lady looks pretty capable."
"She just said she was interviewing for general manager, right? Can I interview for an assistant position?"
Twenty-five thousand a month? Lin Xu thought.
He then said, "How about this, Wenjing? I’ll give you thirty thousand for the first month. You need to find a reliable designer to complete the store’s design and finish the renovations within a month. We can discuss your compensation in detail once we’re open. Is that okay?"
"Of course!" Dou Wenjing agreed, then asked, "What are your requirements for the new store’s overall style? It would help me to have a reference when I’m looking for a designer."
Lin Xu thought for a moment and said, "Let’s go for a modern Chinese style—trendy but not flashy. We’ll need to see the actual design plans, but I don’t have any major specific demands."
A restaurant spanning several thousand square meters was something Lin Xu had no concept of, let alone how to design it.
"Alright, Boss. I know which designer to look for. Where are the keys for the shop next door? Can I use it as a temporary office?"
The keys were in a drawer beside the cash register. Lin Xu took them out and handed the bakery keys to her.
The bakery’s equipment had been moved out last night, apparently sold second-hand. However, the tables, chairs, and air conditioning were still there, which was more than enough for a temporary office.
Dou Wenjing took the keys and moved her personal belongings into the shop next door.
The first job interview at Dundun Catering Management Co., Ltd. ended just like that, quite briefly.
Chen Yan approached curiously and asked, "Brother-in-law, isn’t offering thirty thousand right away a bit much?"
It was supposed to be an interview, but he only asked about her salary before making a decision. Wasn’t he going to interview more candidates?
Lin Xu responded with a smile, "She’s an outstanding manager handpicked by my father-in-law from his own company. Thirty thousand isn’t too much; in fact, it might even be a bit low. After all, if she stays on for another couple of years, she might become the company’s finance director. By then, her annual salary would have to start at seven or eight hundred thousand, right?"
Hearing that it was her uncle who had chosen the manager for her brother-in-law, Chen Yan immediately stopped questioning.
Yes, although her uncle usually had a kind, smiling demeanor, like a thoroughly good fellow, he had his own wealth of experience when it came to management. The talent he selected would undoubtedly be top-tier for any company. She really envied her brother-in-law for having their uncle personally help screen management talent. Thinking back to when she first started her company, she had nothing and had to do everything herself. It was completely incomparable to her brother-in-law’s situation.
But they’re going to renovate here? Chen Yan wondered. She looked at Lin Xu curiously and asked, "Are you planning to expand the store?"
Lin Xu nodded. "Starting from the bakery on the left and extending to the clothing store on the right, plus the second and third floors—that’s the scope of the new store. It’ll be about three to four thousand square meters. My father-in-law bought all these shops a couple of days ago and transferred them to my name yesterday."
Chen Yan wasn’t very good with numbers. To get a more direct sense of how big the new store would be, she specifically ran outside to take a look.
When she returned to the store, her face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "Wow, this storefront is really huge! The renovations should make it look very impressive. Customers finally won’t have to queue for a seat anymore!"
The fans in the live streaming room were confused by all this.
Wu Kexin happened to be free and was also curious about the size, so she picked up her phone and started filming the area.
From the far-left bakery to the far-right clothing store, the distance was about one hundred meters. The depth of all the shops was over ten meters. This meant the ground floor alone was over a thousand square meters. With three floors, it totaled more than three thousand square meters.
The comment section in the live stream exploded!

An hour and a half later, as the staff in the store were preparing for dinner, the much-anticipated Pagoda Meat was finally steamed.
Lin Xu, wearing heat-resistant gloves, brought out the mold containing the Pagoda Meat.
