Chapter 436: Cleaning House
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After returning home this time, Mei Shu decisively began to clean up those who might have been bought by Mei Mu.
Zhao Yan watched with satisfaction as his Missy carried out these operations.
He had long felt that the servants in the house should be thoroughly investigated. Since the last time he discovered someone like Aunt Liu, he had been worried that there might be traitors leaning towards Mei Mu in the family.
After all, Mei Mu had deliberately shown kindness in the family for a while before. By pleasing many people, if she promised some benefits generously, it wouldn’t be difficult to find people willing to stand on her side.
But now, after being cleaned up by Mei Shu, those people realized how big a mistake they had made before.
The family was now firmly in the hands of Mei Shu. Even if Mei Mu wanted to fight back, it was like hitting a rock with an egg.
Many people took the opportunity to switch sides and express their loyalty to Mei Shu.
However, Mei Shu still dismissed these people. Before leaving, she instructed Zhao Yan to double their wages, giving both sides some dignity.
Her actions earned unanimous praise. Even if those people were no longer employed, they harbored resentment towards Mei Mu, not Mei Shu. Most of them appreciated Mei Shu’s conduct.
The servant who had taken the photo of Mei Jing stabbing Mei Mu secretly sent a text message to Mei Mu, hoping to be spared. He didn’t want to leave the Me family and wanted to continue working there.
Mei Mu, upon seeing this message, was almost enraged. With a cold expression, she replied, “If you dare to betray me, 1 will expose everything to Mei Shu. By then, you won’t end well on both sides!”
The person had no choice but to stand at the back of the crowd, feeling uneasy.
“Mr. Chen.”
Lost in thought, Chen Feng heard someone calling him and subconsciously responded.
Mei Shu waved with a smile, signaling him to come over. “Master Chen, your recent culinary skills have improved. Even Xiao He praises the dishes you make.”
“Thank you, Missy. As long as you and the young masters like the dishes, it’s good.” Chen Feng answered, keeping his head low nervously.
Mei Shu thought for a moment and said, “It has been getting hotter lately. These days, you can prepare a refreshing soup for the servants before meals. Mr. Chen, you’ve worked exceptionally hard. 1’11 increase your salary by three thousand every month.”
Chen Feng was overjoyed and hurriedly raised his head, only to meet Mei Shu’s deep black eyes.
Those eyes seemed to have a different kind of charm, as if they could completely suck people in or directly see through the secrets hidden in their hearts.
Chen Feng only glanced at them once and lowered his head again, sweating on his forehead. “Thank you, Miss. 1 will work hard in the future, and I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned by you!”
Those servants left behind by Mei Shu were either grateful or jealous.
Mei Shu smiled and said, “Others shouldn’t be upset. Previously, it was Wang Yue who managed the household, and I know she kept your salaries quite low. So, today, I’ll take charge. The salaries of the others will also increase by two thousand every month. In the future, let’s all work hard together. If you perform well, there will be priority for salary raises.”
Everyone looked at her in disbelief.
With Miss’s generous increase in wages, how could they still have a reason not to obey?
This kind of thing was impossible to happen with other employers!
Not to mention a salary increase, it was considered lucky if they weren’t scolded on a regular basis!
These people immediately felt fortunate that they weren’t misled by Mei Mu before and didn’t choose the wrong side, so they were even more unwilling to betray Mei Shu and be expelled from the Mei family.
After taking care of things at home, Mei Shu used the excuse of resting in her room, asking everyone else to disperse and focus on their work.
However, she was actually investigating phone signals in her room.
The people she drove away were those who had helped Wang Yue and Mei Mu bully her and her brothers in her previous life. However, she didn’t believe that the person who photographed the evidence would necessarily be among them.
To be safe, Mei Shu deliberately staged the play earlier.
She was betting that the other party wouldn’t want to leave the Me family, so he would contact Mei Mu.
Sure enough, her computer captured several messages sent from the villa just now.
Some were complaining to family members about being dismissed, while others were cursing Mei Mu for causing trouble and dragging them into it.
Only one was different.
Mei Shu fixed her gaze and discovered that the message actually pleaded with the other party to spare the sender.
Mei Shu looked at the recipient and confirmed that it was Mei Mu. She then locked onto that phone number.
She found the employee information that Zhao Yan had prepared in advance and quickly identified the sender of the message.
Now, even Mei Shu found it unexpected.
In her previous life, this man had always treated her and her brothers well. He even took the initiative to research new dishes for them. Watching them eat happily, he seemed genuinely happy.
In Mei Shu’s mind, this person had always been an honest and kind figure.
Just now, this person looked so grateful to her.
Chen Feng.
Looking at the name and the photo of the man on the resume, Mei Shu’s lips curled into a faint sneer. There was a glint of interest in her eyes. “Found you..”
