Lian spoke these words with utmost determination, her gaze towards Tong Lei filled with a grateful expression.
People naturally empathize with one another.
Tong Lei had treated her generously, so naturally, she wouldn't kick Tong Lei when she was down.

"Boss Tong, you must clearly know what I think. I've been by your side since you started that small restaurant, and although things aren't great now, in my eyes, it's still several times better than before. I didn't leave then, and I certainly won't leave now!"
"Me too!" another man next to the chef added, pointing at him: "My skills were all taught by the master. If he doesn't leave, I definitely won't either.
