Bab 342: Chapter 309: Raise the Difficulty

```

Discussing meritorious service and rewards in a restaurant without a logo might seem somewhat improper, but Yu Wenshu had no choice.

If it were his own subordinates, he would have just given whatever awards were available. If the reward was generous, one could count oneself lucky; if it was measly, then it was all perceived as a form of grace.

In Jiang Yuan's case... Yu Wenshu was afraid of being too clever by half and ending up driving him away.

There were just too many similar examples. Sharing adversity is easy; sharing prosperity is hard. Many could endure the hardships of struggle, but when it came time to reap the rewards, unfair treatment—or even the misperception of it—could make it unbearable.

As someone put it, there are only two reasons to resign: not enough money or too much grievance.

Yu Wenshu couldn't offer money either, and if he allowed Jiang Yuan to feel aggrieved, then it would be much harder to work with him again.
