chapter 13 I'll be the boss's wife

"This is no ordinary porridge; it's my exclusive medicinal porridge, great for beauty, health, and vitality. Ordinary people can't even taste it." Han Tang said as he brought out a bowl of hot porridge and placed it in front of Usan Le.
"So fragrant." Usan Le was immediately captivated by the aroma of the porridge. She picked up the spoon and took a small sip. "Oh my, it's so delicious."
After taking a sip, she began to devour it.
"Slow down, be careful, it's hot." Han Tang advised repeatedly.
The bowl of porridge was quickly emptied, and Usan Le handed it back to Han Tang. "Quick, refill it, I want more."
"Eat slowly, no rush, this whole pot is for you." Han Tang said.
Soon, a small pot of porridge was completely devoured by Usan Le. She rubbed her swollen belly and said, "How did you make this? It's so delicious, I've never had porridge so fresh and fragrant. Our head chef here doesn't even match your skill one bit."
"Of course, it's my exclusive recipe, unparalleled. If you want to eat it again, I'll make it for you later," Han Tang said.
"After eating your porridge, all the fatigue of the day disappears, and my body is filled with strength. This feeling is truly amazing," Usan Le said.
Han Tang thought to himself, how could it not be good? This bowl of porridge not only contains the essence of eighteen precious medicinal herbs passed down through generations, but Han Tang also set up a small gathering spirit array with spirit stones when cooking the porridge, infusing every grain of rice with spiritual energy. After eating, it's almost like a ‘cure for all illnesses’.
"Alright, you can go now, I need to work," Usan Le said.
Han Tang smiled, "Why are you working so hard? I haven't even discussed your salary yet."
"I don't want a salary," Usan Le said.
"So you want to work for free?" Han Tang pretended to be surprised.
"I'm not that foolish, why would I want to work for free?"
"Then what do you want?"
"I want to be the lady boss in charge! You took advantage from me just now, so you have to take responsibility for me," Usan Le stared at Han Tang and said.
"No... no..." Han Tang thought about the seductive feeling just now and realized he didn't quite get enough.
"Han Tang, I'm not joking, I'm serious," Usan Le said.
"Well... you know, I have a girlfriend..."
"But you're not married yet, so we both have a chance. I believe you can't escape from my grasp," Usan Le said, making a fist gesture at the end, as if she really had Han Tang in her hand.
Han Tang awkwardly smiled again, "I'm going back to sleep, you should rest early too."
"If you don't want to go back, you can sleep here, I've already taken advantage of you enough just now, so it's okay to suffer a little more," Usan Le licked her lips, teasingly looking at Han Tang. At the same time, she pushed down the collar of her nightgown, revealing a snowy white expanse.
Han Tang fled in despair. This girl was just too overwhelming.
Han Tang still lived in the staff dormitory and slept very soundly that night. The next morning, Han Tang was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
"Who is it?" Han Tang, wearing only his boxers, opened the door. He had slept very late last night, so he was still half-asleep.
"Ah... quickly put some clothes on." Sherry Shi at the door screamed. It was one thing for Han Tang to be shirtless, but the prominent evidence of his masculinity in the morning light was a bit too much, making her blush and her heart race.
Only then did Han Tang wake up and hurriedly went back to put on clothes.
Opening the door again, Han Tang asked, "What's going on, Sherry? Why are you so flustered early in the morning?"
"He... he's here again?" Sherry Shi said nervously.
"Who's here?"
"Fatty Zhou, he's here again."
It seemed that Fatty Zhou had left a deep impression on Sherry Shi. She was still afraid of him when she mentioned him.
"Where is he?" Han Tang was also puzzled. Fatty Zhou was beaten up like a pig yesterday, why would he dare to come back?
"He went to the manager's office," Sherry Shi said.
"Let's go, let's see." Han Tang rushed to the manager's office, where Fatty Zhou was standing arrogantly with his swollen head, shouting at Usan Le, "You slut, is this where you sit? Get out of here, that's my seat."
Han Tang used his eyes to stop Usan Le, and walked up to Fatty Zhou. Looking at his big head, he said, "Fatty Zhou, was yesterday’s hit not enough? You come looking for trouble early in the morning."
"Han Tang, don't mess around, I'm here to apply for a job." Fatty Zhou was scared by Han Tang's beating yesterday, and involuntarily took a few steps back when he saw him.
"Apply for a job? What are you applying for? Dishwashing? Janitorial work? Or delivery?" Han Tang was amused by Fatty Zhou. "I'm applying for general manager. I believe I'm the only one capable of being the general manager of this restaurant. No one else can do it," Fatty Zhou said.
"Fatty Zhou, did you not get enough sleep, or did you really get your head knocked in? Why are you talking nonsense? Do you think I'd actually make you the general manager? Are you thinking with your heels?" Han Tang really doubted if he had hit Fatty Zhou too hard yesterday and damaged his brain.
"Let me tell you, Han Tang, there's not much money in the restaurant's account. There's not enough to pay the workers' salaries this month. The restaurant itself isn't broke, but there's a debt of over two million outside, and only I, Fatty Zhou, can get that money back. So you must hire me as the general manager, or your restaurant won't survive," Fatty Zhou said.
The more Fatty Zhou spoke, the more confident he became, and by the end, he regained his arrogance. These were all things he had thought through slowly after returning home yesterday. He thought this was his trump card to deal with Han Tang.
Han Tang finally understood. It was these debts that gave Fatty Zhou the courage to come back again.
He looked at Fatty Zhou with interest and said, "Oh, what about the terms? Since you're so important, are you in high demand?"
Fatty Zhou thought Han Tang was surrendering, and arrogantly said, "The condition is that I call the shots in the restaurant. Fifty thousand for my annual salary, I don't need year-end bonuses, and this little girl will be my secretary."
After saying that, he looked at Usan Le with a lascivious grin, thinking about how he hadn't noticed how seductive she looked before.
"You've set your conditions too low. You should have asked me to just give you the restaurant and then pay you three to five million as compensation for your hard work," Han Tang said.
Fatty Zhou finally realized that Han Tang was playing with him, and that he never took him seriously. He shouted in frustration, "Han Tang, let me tell you, all the debts are owed to my good buddies. Don't be ignorant of the situation, or you won't retrieve a single penny back."
Han Tang walked slowly towards Fatty Zhou, and said as he walked, "Don't take yourself too seriously. With or without you, the restaurant lives. It's my money, not a single cent will be missing. Today, I'll tell you what you should do: get lost, as far as possible."
Fatty Zhou got scared and shouted in panic, "Han Tang, what are you going to do? Don't mess around, or you'll regret it."
"Nothing, I just think you've been living too comfortably. I'll give you a bit of excitement." After saying that, Han Tang grabbed Fatty Zhou and threw him down the stairs. Fatty Zhou rolled down the stairs like a ball, crying out in pain.
