"Isn't one pig enough to feed fifty people?"

"Besides, it's not like we're only eating meat. Vegetables are much cheaper. A sack of potatoes only costs a few dollars, and a hundred pounds of eggplants costs thirty dollars. That's enough to eat for several days."

"The reason why food outside is expensive is because that's how they make their money. Their profit margin needs to be at least 50%, and most of them are between 60% and 70%, so they won't lose money. But I'm just trying to provide my employees with a safe and comfortable dining environment. I don't need to make a single penny. Three yuan is enough!"

Looking at Lin Fan's sincere face, Zhu Shan seemed somewhat dazed.

To be honest, he felt and learned a lot from Lin Fan today.

The various skills Lin Fan taught him were secondary; the most important thing was Lin Fan's attitude and his philosophy towards his employees.

He wasn't arrogant or condescending, nor did he try to exploit them. Instead, he treated them like family and genuinely cared about their needs. He even put thought into small things like meals. No wonder the employees here work so hard.

On the one hand, it's about more work, more pay; on the other hand, with a boss like this, who wouldn't cherish such a valuable job opportunity?

Thinking of this, Zhu Shan looked at Lin Fan earnestly and said, "Brother Lin, thank you. You've shown me what a qualified businessman is!"

"Hehe, Brother Zhu, you don't need to be so polite. Actually, I didn't do anything special. I just acted according to my conscience. These people aren't from wealthy or powerful families. The aunties who cook are neighbors who grew up with us in the village. If I didn't do a good job and people talked behind my back, wouldn't that be a disgrace to my ancestors?"

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, the aunties next to him started to cheer.

"Boss, please don't say that. Meeting someone like you is a blessing our village has accumulated over generations."

“That’s right, that’s right. All we do every day is cook, and you only pay us five yuan. We can also eat the food here without paying. Where else can you find such a good job? You’ve never wronged us.”

"Yes, yes, I've already told my son to study hard and that I'd be happy if he could work under you, Mr. Lin, in the future."

Looking at the villagers' eager faces, Zhu Shan felt a strange sense of envy.

His father and second uncle were both major officials in Liangshan County, but they had never seen the people of Liangshan County be so close to them. Some people were even unaware of their existence because they were so high and mighty.

He thought, how proud he would be if all the people in Liangshan County liked his family this much.

Perhaps one day I might be able to do in another way what my father and second uncle couldn't do.

And by then, will I be able to prove that I am indeed stronger than their fathers, and that I am not an incompetent person who can only rely on their fathers' protection?

While in a daze, Lin Fan had already casually ordered a few dishes, and the two of them sat down at a nearby table and began to eat.

The four dishes and one soup weren't exactly delicious, but they were certainly not bad. Plus, the meat and chopsticks inside were all of high quality, so Lin Fan and Zhu Shan ate with great relish.

All around were the sounds of factory workers wolfing down their food and their satisfied laughter.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the cafeteria.

Then came the angry shouts of Brother Wu and several security guards: "Stop them! Stop them!"

"What are you trying to do? We're calling the police, or are you trying to rob us?!"

"Quickly call the police and tell them that robbers have broken into our factory. Get the police from the surrounding police stations to send backup!"

……

Hearing the commotion outside, many people put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked in astonishment toward the cafeteria entrance.

Zhu Shan and Lin Fan also turned their heads to look over, but they weren't as surprised as the others. They vaguely guessed that these people were the ones they had previously suspected might make a move.

"Heh, these little bastards are quite cunning, actually taking advantage of mealtime to launch a sneak attack."

Zhu Shan sneered and spoke indifferently.

Before Lin Fan could speak, he continued, "But don't worry, I've already notified my father's trusted subordinates, and they're on their way with men. Once these people make a move and leave evidence, they won't be leaving here today!"

Hearing Zhu Shan's assurance, Lin Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, he wasn't too worried about people coming to cause trouble in the factory. Even if they smashed some equipment or caused other damage, Lin Fan wasn't too bothered. What he was really worried about was the people inside the factory.

Of course, he wasn't that noble; he was just worried that if someone in the factory got hurt or a riot broke out, it would ruin the atmosphere that had been so hard to build, and the workers wouldn't dare to come to work anymore. What would happen then? The business would be delayed.

As for the emphasis on the safety of employees, there are reasons for it, but it's fair to say it's half and half.

As they were talking, the cafeteria door was suddenly kicked open violently, and more than a dozen very strong men rushed in, along with a stench.

The men's attire was downright terrifying.

They were all carrying a large bucket, wearing clothes similar to raincoats, masks, and gloves. Inside these buckets, one could vaguely see some yellowish-white substances.

The moment Lin Fan smelled the stench, he sensed something was wrong. Before he could react, the men suddenly went berserk, grabbing their buckets of excrement and throwing it at the people eating in the canteen.

Such a terrifying scene almost scared the workers who were eating out of their wits, and they immediately began to scatter and flee in all directions.

Lin Fan reacted the fastest, grabbing Zhu Shan and rushing out of the back door of the cafeteria in a few steps. They went around the stairs behind them to the top floor and then walked down to the bottom of the cafeteria, thus avoiding disaster!

The canteen was in complete chaos, and the situation was no better in the factory outside, where more than a dozen people were smashing and damaging things with sticks.

These people are clearly seasoned veterans. They don't pick the expensive items, but rather the large items that would have a certain impact on the factory, but have low economic value, such as glass and light bulbs in the factory.
