Lust System: Harem Of Beautiful Women Chapter 888 "Minor Issue"

At ten in the morning, the kitchen staff had already been busy for half a day. The first day of business was for lunch service.

His father-in-law Arthur was beaming with pride as he surveyed the spacious, bright cafeteria and the small convenience store attached to it.

His mistress Suzanne was at the entrance greeting people, very polite and attentive. Today, Ruth was dressed elegantly and radiantly. Under the thing of her son-in-law-lover, she'd grown even more voluptuous and sexy.

Daniel arrived in a crisp new suit with his wife Nancy in tow, after all, it was his father-in-law's place.

Luis also came with his gentle wife Lily. The biggest shareholders here were Ruth and Lily.

With the mistress helping to make money, the legitimate wife spent her days playing cards or getting beauty treatments. This good life had gradually softened her attitude, and she'd started being nicer to Suzanne.

Most importantly, Suzanne was very respectful, addressing her as "Sister Yu" with careful deference, which made her feel quite pleased.

"Everyone's worked hard!"

Ruth strutted like a proud peacock, surveying her domain.

There were over a dozen cafeteria staff. They served rice, porridge, and noodles, mainly in the form of fast-food boxed meals. The porridge was offered to accommodate patients' needs.

In addition, they had nourishing clay pot porridge and various nutritious soups available daily.

The menu was developed in consultation with the hospital's nutrition and rehabilitation departments. Whether you were pregnant or recovering from an injury, you could conveniently find doctor-recommended meals here.

The nutrition window had prominent signage and operated separately, a sure way to capture a good chunk of the market.

On the second floor of the cafeteria, there was a small supermarket. The selection was based on what nearby convenience stores offered.

Selling snacks and beer would be suicide. Instead, they stocked items that hospital patients commonly needed: disposable cups, bowls, chopsticks, straws, foldable cots for overnight stays, folding chairs, washbasins, buckets, and other daily necessities.

They also had ice packs for injuries, toilet paper, baby formula, diapers, and more, a wide range of essentials.

Ruth made a satisfied round of inspection and said with a smile, "Well then, I wish everyone great prosperity!"

Then, as the hostess, she led her daughters and sons-in-law in handing out red envelope bonuses to the staff. Each envelope contained a generous 800 dollars.

The news of the cafeteria's opening had spread throughout the hospital. The cleaning staff went from ward to ward distributing flyers.

At noon, the cafeteria was bustling. Patients and their families crowded in to buy food, since restaurants near the hospital were expensive and their quality was questionable.

In contrast, the new hospital cafeteria was bright and clean, just the environment alone was reassuring.

Since the hospital didn't allow high-power appliances, many nutritious items couldn't be prepared on-site. Those who lived nearby would bring food from home.

Though it saved money, it was a hassle, many people had to work and couldn't make such trips. Besides, the roads outside City First Hospital were wide but congested during peak hours.

Seeing that the nutritional items were reasonably priced, many chose to buy directly from the cafeteria, saving themselves unnecessary trouble and paying less than the overpriced shops outside.

The cafeteria quickly filled up. Even though Arthur and Suzanne had prepared thoroughly and paid attention to every detail, they were still a bit overwhelmed at first. Fortunately, everything stayed orderly and no problems arose.

Ruth was very pleased, especially since the second-floor supermarket was also busy. It looked like they'd be making a lot of money, her in-law Hela had said a few million a year might even be conservative.

At lunchtime, long lines formed at the serving windows.

Not only patients' families, but medical staff also came with their meal cards.

City First Hospital had always had good benefits. Each staff member received 300 dollars a month loaded onto their meal card. This funding perfectly covered the cafeteria's rent and operating costs.

If the money were deducted from salaries, any employee would complain.

Cafeteria food, unless free, was generally associated with being bad, whether in hospitals or schools.

But this was a subsidized benefit at City First Hospital. It had existed back when the old cafeteria was there, but it was only 200 dollars back then.

Many people grumbled. Even if it was free, the old cafeteria was rundown and shabby, and the food was worse than the low-quality restaurants outside.

After Hela took charge, she raised the subsidy from 200 to 300 dollars.

The old paper meal tickets were replaced with meal cards. Though the increase was only a hundred dollars a month, it was a huge benefit for the staff.

Especially since the food was actually good, for that alone, the staff were practically moved to tears.

Unlike the transient patients and their families, the medical staff were there year-round. Working under high pressure, if even the food was bad, they'd be at their wit's end.

"At noon, the braised pork with preserved vegetables, fried pork cutlets, mushroom-braised chicken, and twice-cooked pork, all the meat dishes are almost sold out."

"For vegetables, the pig's blood curd and broccoli sold best, they're also gone..."

By a little after 1 p.m., sales had far exceeded expectations. It was clear how bad the old cafeteria had been and how terrible the surrounding restaurants were.

Lunchtime had been a battle. They'd nearly sold out, and the few leftovers could be cleared in the evening.

Only then did the kitchen staff get to eat. Energized by the 800-dollar bonuses, they were discussing what went wrong with the unsold items and how to improve.

At a nearby restaurant, the private room was filled with joy.

Brook said in a professional yet polite tone, "Uncle Yao, the feedback is great. The medical staff are all saying the food is especially good now."

"The only minor issue is that you didn't prepare any chili sauce. That's something you really should improve."

Unless you were an idiot, you could tell that this "minor issue" was actually a playful jab, something optional and insignificant, brought up more as a joke than a real complaint.
