Chapter 285: Chapter 276: The Charm of Lin Mu"Well, that’s wishful thinking!" Sophie snapped the book from Lin Mu’s hand with a hint of exasperation. "You talk like someone from Africa. Have you ever read a book? Do you know what this book is about? Do you know? This is the song lyrics written by the famous writer Han Han for the big star Li Yuchun. Do you know who Han Han is?" Lin Mu looked bewildered, "Han Han, who’s that chick?" "Chick?" Sophie was both amused and frustrated. "Han Han is obviously a guy, isn’t he?" "Uh, a grown man writing such flowery lyrics, must be so full from having nothing better to do!" "That’s literature, which you don’t understand. Uh, you should worry about your business! Uh, your business is doing well, which shows you have some capability, but now that you’re running a large operation and lack staff, you need a solid team to balance development. Like with Yunhai, if I had to handle everything personally, I’d be exhausted! So you also need to strengthen your manpower quickly!" Lin Mu nodded in agreement. Sophie was right. With business expansion comes the problem of staff shortage. Currently, Lin Mu only had Earth Wolf and the Zhuang Brothers to rely on, which was far from enough to manage a large company. In fact, Lin Mu’s Wolf Fang special mercenary unit had two other good brothers, Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf. If the two of them came back to work with Lin Mu, things would be easier. Sigh, blame it on that old man! It’s fine that he gave me a task to protect a beautiful CEO, but why start a company and run a business too? However, Lin Mu had a strong-willed personality, so since the old man arranged it this way, Lin Mu was determined to prove himself and not let the old man look down on him! Lin Mu left Yunhai Mansion and called Earth Wolf to arrange for hiring security, then drove to Shengshi KTV himself. Driving his Bugatti Veyron to Shengshi KTV, Lin Mu noted that Zhang Yangwei had been arrested, leading to the KTV’s closure. He had been too busy dealing with Qi Manlin capturing Lei Qiming to reopen it. Plus, the KTV was in such disarray that to ensure its long-term success, a thorough reorganization was necessary. Lin Mu’s plan was to prohibit drugs inside the KTV while allowing some of the girls, but without making it too obvious. Suddenly, he noticed a crowd gathered at Shengshi KTV’s entrance. Lin Mu parked his car, puzzled why the place was surrounded despite being closed. Could Shengshi KTV have so many loyal customers? But judging by the looks, it didn’t seem like these men and women were customers. Lin Mu got out of the car and tapped a bespectacled young man on the back, offering him a cigarette, "Hey brother, what’s everyone doing here?" The guy took the cigarette and glanced at Lin Mu, "What else? They’re here for money. Zhang Yangwei got nabbed, and we heard he transferred the place to Lin Mu of Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion, so we’re here to collect our wages." "Oh? What did you do here?" Lin Mu asked with a smile. "Nightclub DJ, they still owe me tens of thousands in unpaid wages!" the guy replied. "Oh, what about these folks?" Lin Mu gestured around him. "Same deal, either KTV waitstaff, masseurs, bartenders, basically everyone here is waiting for their wages!" the guy informed. Understanding the situation, Lin Mu thought that since he lacked management staff, it would be better to keep these people to continue working, requiring less capital influx compared to hiring new folks everywhere. Casting a casual glance, Lin Mu noticed quite a few pretty girls in the crowd. Now, entertainment venues paid good money to hire such attractive girls. Losing them would be a major loss for the KTV! "Haha, brother, to be honest, I’m Lin Mu." Lin Mu said with a chuckle, patting the guy’s shoulder. "You’re Boss Lin?" the guy exclaimed in surprise. Hearing this, the people nearby also overheard and gathered around Lin Mu. "Hello everyone, I’m Lin Mu, the owner of Shengshi KTV now. From what I understand, Zhang Yangwei owes you your wages. Haha, no worries, I will pay you every penny. Additionally, I’ll be upgrading Shengshi KTV entirely. Once upgraded, it’ll be better and more luxurious than before. Those interested in staying are welcome, and anyone wishing to leave will still get paid. Plus, for those who stay, I’ll increase your current wages by 30%, which I assure you won’t find anywhere else in the city!" Lin Mu said with a smile. Everyone started discussing and expressing their gratitude, while marveling at the new boss’s generosity. Yeah, Boss Lin seemed wealthy, both generous and a real big spender. They felt sure working for a wealthy guy like him would be worth it! "Alright then, I’m sticking with Boss Lin," the bespectacled guy said. "Me too, I’m in with Boss Lin." "Count me in too..." "Include me..." Around them, people eagerly voiced their support, with most willing to stay. In truth, they understood Shengshi KTV was the best place in South City, and they wouldn’t find such high wages elsewhere! Plus, they had adapted to the familiar environment, and most didn’t want to change workplaces! Seeing such enthusiastic responses from everyone, Lin Mu nodded satisfactorily and then said, "Everyone can head home and rest, consider it a holiday. Of course, your wages during the break will be covered, so don’t worry. The Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion is under my management too, feel free to find me there if any issues arise." "Boss Lin, you’re so straightforward, we trust you, so we’ll leave for now!" The group expressed their willingness to stay with Lin Mu and gradually dispersed. After the crowd left, Lin Mu took out a cigarette, unlocked the KTV’s main door with the key, and walked inside. The interior remained untouched since his last visit here, and he remembered it being decent overall, though somewhat chaotic, with a sleazy atmosphere that could easily attract police crackdowns. Lin Mu wandered around the KTV to get a sense of the place. The first floor was a dance floor, for guests to drink and dance away their stress, appealing primarily to idle youth of the post-90s generation. Though, truth be told, young people’s money is the easiest to earn! The second floor was where the KTV private rooms were, spaces for guests to drink, chat, and pick up girls. Overall, those who came to spend here were either wealthy individuals or middle-class people. The third floor was the bath area, following the model of the Flying Dragon Foot Bath Pavilion—a real haven for big spenders. Lin Mu had experienced it with Man Yu once, and the feeling of being pampered was indeed not bad!
