Chapter 576 Lily's Changes (Part 2)
According to A_PARTY's business model, they do not have a subordinate employment relationship with mothers like Lily and Sister Wang, and their economic relationship is also separate. At least on the surface, A_PARTY does not pay wages or commissions to mothers like Lily and Sister Wang, or the young women working under them.

The income of the "madams" and "ladies" belongs entirely to them, including tips and fees for services; the company takes nothing. This operating model not only increases the income of the "madams" and "ladies," providing comprehensive incentives for their work enthusiasm, but also eliminates the company's risks related to prostitution and paid companionship.

The only benefit the company can gain is to attract customers through the cross-industry services of these girls, thereby increasing its revenue from private rooms, drinks, and other sales.

Although the profits are much lower than those from directly intervening in the management of the special services industry in the past, security is a necessary means for the current "anti-pornography and anti-illegal publications" campaign to protect itself.

However, in order to avoid chaos in actual management (the young ladies frequently being absent, changing jobs, or having poor performance), Manager Li formulated a series of penalty systems, which were then handed over to the "mommies" to manage the young ladies' use. These systems included collection of management fees, attendance fees, and sanitation fees.

"Hanging up a sheep's head while selling dog meat." Lily gestured towards the thick attendance book on her desk: "Manager Li, although you never manage the 'mommys' or 'ladies,' everyone knows that whether we get a job or not depends entirely on you. Even a tiny bit of leeway from you is enough to feed us for a year and a half. So, who dares disobey you when you speak?"

"That's nonsense. You make money entirely through your own abilities, what does it have to do with me? You're too busy to deal with these things, I'm just taking the time to keep track of the numbers for you. Anyone could do that." Manager Li smiled, clearly pleased.

Lily lowered her head and continued to flatter, "The company's ability to make money is all thanks to Manager Li's excellent leadership. Everyone knows that the store is so popular now, all thanks to Manager Li's tireless efforts, drinking with clients until they vomit blood every night. Manager Li, you have made great contributions, and you've been with the boss for over ten years. One word from you is worth half a month of my time."

"Alright, alright, stop flattering me. Lily, your clumsy flattery is making my butt hurt." Manager Li was flattered and thought to himself that this girl really had a sweet tongue. "Let me tell you the truth, it's not that I'm reluctant to say it. A while ago when you went back to your hometown, I specially arranged for a leader to take your girls. But after only a few days, the leader came to me and said that all the girls had run away."

Lily nodded and leaned over to light a cigarette for Manager Li: "I know about this. They were all poached by Wang Lili."

Manager Li exhaled a puff of smoke, his words implicitly admitting to the matter: "They're all from our own company, so let's not talk about poaching or not, it sounds awful. I asked around about this later, and guess what?"

He paused, then gave Lily a meaningful look: "It's all the girls' own idea. They say they can't make money following you."

Lily retorted, "Manager Li, don't we have meetings every day saying that selling silver is prohibited? I'm only doing this for the company's good, in case the police catch us..."

Manager Li snorted and mocked, "You've worked at the company for so many years, and you still ask such a childish question?"

The company tacitly approves of, and even encourages, the practice of selling prostitutes. Although the company does not charge the prostitutes any fees for this, it significantly increases the company's revenue from private rooms and beverage sales.

Seeing that feigning ignorance was useless, Lily could only lower her head and say weakly, "Manager Li, you know I've served the company for so many years, and even if I haven't made any great contributions, I've certainly put in a lot of hard work. Right now, I really have no other choice, so please help me."

Manager Li stood up and headed towards the door, pretending to see her off: "Lily, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that the girls themselves don't want to follow you. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself at headquarters."

After saying that, he turned the doorknob and opened the door.

Knowing there was no point in staying any longer, Lily got up to say goodbye. After walking a few steps outside, she heard Manager Li's promise behind her.

“As long as the girl is willing to come back with you, I will step in and make Wang Lili let go.”

Manager Li left a message and then closed the door.

Xueyi had clearly overheard Manager Li's words from inside the room. Following behind Lily, who was quickly leaving, she complained, "Sister Lily, those people are really awful. When they first came to the company and didn't know anything, they messed things up, and you were always the one who cleaned up their messes and protected them. Now that they've grown up, they leave without saying a word. Heh, they really are heartless bitches!"

Does this count as insulting us both? Heh, I didn't go into the sea, so it shouldn't count, right? Lily stared straight ahead, her steps light and swift. *Click*

Lily paused, stopping in her tracks, and looked at the group of people approaching from the opposite direction.

Walking at the front was Xiaoling, her former subordinate, who had a particularly sweet tongue.

She looked over the other person's shoulder and at a girl following behind.

This was a young girl, probably not even 20 years old. She had wispy bangs and a ponytail, and wore no makeup, but her skin looked very firm, like she had just come from school. She was wearing a white dress, and from the front, she looked incredibly pure and innocent, but it didn't quite fit the atmosphere of the karaoke bar.

This will likely be her main style in the store going forward.

Xueyi, who was following behind Lily, almost bumped into her. At this moment, she looked in the direction Lily was looking and found that it was Xiaoling. She was immediately furious.

She put her hands on her hips, pointed at Xiaoling as if to scold her, but her voice was as gentle as ever: "Xiaoling! Sister Lily is back, why are you still with Sister Wang? Come back here right now."

Xiaoling also saw the two old acquaintances, stopped, and explained with her head down, "Sister Lily, I will slowly pay back the money I owe you."

"Are you a new hire at the company? Who is your 'mommy'? Sister Wang?" Lily ignored Xiaoling and stared at the timid girl with a ponytail standing behind Xiaoling, asking.

Xiaoling looked up and found that Lily was completely ignoring her.

"Yes, Sister LiLily." The girl with the ponytail followed Xiaoling's address, speaking softly and a little timidly.

Do you know why you've come here?

"I know, it means... it means drinking with guests."

Do you know what happens after you drink alcohol?

"Um"

The girl with the ponytail blushed deeply, seemingly aware of the intricacies involved.

Lily nodded, said nothing more, and walked past the two into the depths of the corridor. After a few steps, as if remembering something, she inadvertently turned back to look at the ponytail girl walking away in the opposite direction.

Her back was completely exposed, revealing her snow-white spine.

The entire dress was white, held together by only a thin rope at the back.
