Phyllis's arrival made the business in the shop flourish. As a super beautiful girl and a rare elf in the area, Phyllis had a great appeal to the people around her. Every time she stood at the entrance, she would always attract a large number of customers.
Furthermore, as the days went by, the news of a very beautiful elf miss in this small fast food shop quickly spread. Even if Phyllis didn't go out to attract customers, many people would come just to see this rare elf miss, and they would often sit down to have a meal before leaving.
There was also a rumor circulating that this beautiful elf miss was the owner's wife! Many young people, who secretly admired Phyllis, were unwilling to believe it and came to inquire about their relationship.
After receiving confirmation from Mu Yunfan and Phyllis, these young people were all disappointed.
For a while, Mu Yunfan became the most envied person among the young people in the area, and many of them even decided to go abroad and find an elf wife in the future.
Days passed quickly, and Mu Yunfan discovered that Phyllis's enthusiasm for learning about various things in the shop exceeded his expectations. Originally, Mu Yunfan only intended for Phyllis to help out in the shop, but after familiarizing herself with everything in the shop, she also took the initiative to learn about various things in the kitchen from Mu Yunfan. Every time Mu Yunfan went to the market to buy ingredients, she would go along and earnestly learn how to buy good and affordable ingredients.
To the point that every time they went to the market, the stall owners who were familiar with the two of them would smile and say, "Oh, the couple is here to buy ingredients again."
Whenever they were said this, a blush would appear on Phyllis's face.
Phyllis's enthusiasm gave Mu Yunfan the feeling that she didn't just plan on staying here temporarily, but wanted to stay for a long time, as if she considered herself the true owner.
Of course, Mu Yunfan was too embarrassed to say these things in front of Phyllis.
During the lunch rush hour today, the two of them were busy in the shop. Phyllis quickly picked up the dishes left by the customers and hurried back to the kitchen, while Mu Yunfan carried a plate of fried rice in each hand and came out.
When they got closer, there was a chair that was placed more prominently, and Phyllis accidentally tripped over it. In the next moment, Phyllis exclaimed and was about to fall.
Phyllis had several plates in her hands, and if she fell, these plates would all be dropped and broken.
But at that moment, Mu Yunfan, who was closest to her, had both hands holding the plates.
The customers were startled, and everyone thought Phyllis was sure to fall. Some people even closed their eyes and dared not look. However, at that moment, Mu Yunfan, who had master-level comprehensive combat skills, made a move.
He put the plate in his right hand on his left arm, then swiftly moved his body in front of Phyllis. Phyllis fell into Mu Yunfan's arms, and at the same time, Mu Yunfan's free hand caught the falling plates steadily.
This move by Mu Yunfan immediately received applause from the crowd.
Mu Yunfan asked Phyllis, who was still in his arms, "Are you alright?"
Phyllis, who was still in Mu Yunfan's embrace, raised her head with a look of apology. "I-I'm fine, sorry, I..."
Mu Yunfan gently said, "Don't be too hasty, it wouldn't be good if you hurt yourself."
The customers immediately teased, "Oh, the young couple is so in love."
Phyllis blushed instantly.
Then someone said, "Look, the boss's wife is shy."
Phyllis blushed even more, she regained her composure, held the plates steady, lowered her head, and quickly walked back to the kitchen without looking back.
Phyllis's reaction amused the customers even more. Someone laughed and said, "The boss's wife is so easily embarrassed, is it the same at night?"
Mu Yunfan smiled wryly, "She's easily embarrassed, so don't tease her."
The customers burst into laughter, full of good-natured humor.The customers inside the shop were coming and going, when suddenly, three people walked in from outside.
Among the three, one was a fat man with small eyes. He was dressed elegantly and had shiny gold jewelry on his neck and fingers, giving off a nouveau riche vibe.
The two people accompanying him, one fat and one thin, were none other than Ludo and Joseph, who used to frequently mock Mu Yunfan but hadn't been back since his shop became popular.
As soon as the three entered, the fat man in the middle, the nouveau riche, looked around with a disdainful expression, occasionally showing a look of contempt.
Phyllis walked up politely and asked, "Are you three gentlemen?"
As soon as the fat man saw Phyllis, his eyes lit up. "You must be Phyllis?"
Phyllis was momentarily stunned but nodded. "Yes."
The fat man's face burst into joy. He quickly suppressed it and regained his arrogant demeanor, saying, "I'm Drudeau, the owner of Fake Restaurant. I came here specifically to find you!"
As soon as Drudeau said this, the surrounding customers were astonished and started whispering.
"Oh my, he's the owner of Fake Restaurant?"
"The owner of Fake Restaurant personally came to poach someone!"
"Well, Phyllis has such great charm, it's normal for the boss to come personally."
At this moment, Drudeau looked at Phyllis with an arrogant expression, waiting for her excited reaction.
However, Phyllis tilted her head and said, "Fake Restaurant? I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it."
Drudeau's confident expression instantly solidified.
Ludo beside him exclaimed loudly, "Fake Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in Lighthouse City! You've never heard of it?"
Joseph also shouted, "Let me tell you, compared to your shabby restaurant here, Fake Restaurant is like heaven and earth!"
Upon hearing someone belittle her place, Phyllis immediately showed an angry expression. "Are you here to have dinner, or are you just going to block other customers?"
Drudeau's face was full of disbelief. How could she not know about his famous Fake Restaurant? But then he realized that she had just arrived in Lighthouse City, so it was normal for her not to know.
At this moment, several customers chimed in, "Fake Restaurant is a high-end luxury restaurant located in Lighthouse Square."
"It ranked in the top three in the previous Lighthouse City restaurant rankings!"
"I heard the employees at Fake Restaurant receive high salaries!"
Upon hearing people introduce Fake Restaurant, Drudeau regained his arrogant expression and proudly said, "I came this time to give you the opportunity to work at my place!"
Drudeau was full of confidence, thinking that Phyllis would immediately accept with a face full of joy, and be grateful to him.
However, Phyllis didn't hesitate and said, "I'm sorry, I want to stay here and work."
Drudeau's expression once again froze.
Phyllis's words immediately caused laughter from the surrounding customers.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect the owner of Fake Restaurant to be turned down."
"Phyllis Miss is truly extraordinary."
"It's true. Phyllis Miss is the owner, how could she leave?"
Drudeau smirked.
"You definitely don't know the treatment we offer at Fake Restaurant, do you? If you go to Fake Restaurant, you won't have to work so hard every day, serving dishes and wiping tables. You just need to walk around the shop every day and chat with customers. And, the salary I'm offering is 20,000 Berry per month!"
Drudeau's words shocked the customers. The customers who came here were average people, earning only two to three thousand Berry a month. But Drudeau was offering a high salary of 20,000 Berry! This was a salary that made many people envy, and working there would be even more relaxed! A normal person would hesitate to choose Fake Restaurant, right?
At this moment, many people thought that Phyllis would most likely accept.
But instead, Phyllis maintained a composed smile and said, "I'm sorry, I want to stay here."Drudeau's face was filled with surprise, but he quickly smiled coldly, firmly believing that there was nothing money couldn't accomplish, except for one thing – not enough money!
Drudeau extended three fingers adorned with gemstone rings.
"Thirty thousand!"
Phyllis shook her head.
Drudeau then raised another finger.
"Forty thousand!"
Phyllis continued to shake her head.
Drudeau frowned and then extended five fingers, shouting loudly, "Fifty thousand!"
Phyllis still smiled and shook her head without hesitation.
At this point, some of the customers couldn't help but silently applaud Phyllis.
Drudeau gritted his teeth and said, "Sixty thousand! This is my final offer! I can't raise the price for you any further!"
This was already the highest price that Drudeau could offer. Even the Fak Restaurant would struggle to afford anything higher.
But Phyllis remained unwavering and shook her head.
Drudeau's face was filled with shock.
Beside him, Ruduo couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you crazy? Drudeau is giving you such a great offer, and yet you refuse? Why would you choose to stay here and suffer!"
Joseph added, "Exactly, if you miss this opportunity, you will regret it!"
Phyllis's face lit up with a sweet smile, radiating beauty and charm. She gently said, "I am the owner of this place, how can I just abandon it?"
The customers burst into applause, loudly cheering for Phyllis. Everyone sincerely admired Phyllis's unwavering determination.
At this moment, Mu Yunfan walked over and stood in front of Phyllis. Mu Yunfan had just seen Ruduo and Joseph enter the kitchen, and he was worried they would create trouble, so he immediately came out. He then heard Phyllis resolutely reject Drudeau's high salary temptation, and he felt deeply moved.
Mu Yunfan spoke in a serious tone, "Mr. Drudeau, since my wife is unwilling to hire you, please stop forcing her. If you're not here to eat, please leave immediately."
Drudeau's face had turned red like a pig's liver. This time, not only did he fail to recruit Phyllis, but he also made a fool of himself in front of everyone.
However, without missing a beat, Drudeau's face broke into a cold smile, and then he burst into laughter.
"Hehe, hahaha, leave? This place will soon be mine. Why should I leave?"
