Chapter 60 The Wang Family Father and Daughter

Over there, Jiang Zhi was too lazy to care what that big boss was thinking.

For Jiang Zhi, the fact that the big boss was willing to hire her was a testament to his good judgment. If he wasn't willing, even better: she wouldn't dare work for a service provider who held grudges over a single disagreement. What if that person felt something was wrong with her and secretly held a grudge?

*

For Jiang Zhi, things were essentially settled with Zhang Jia. If needed, Zhang Jia would naturally come knocking. If not, it was best to part ways amicably.

Now, she values ​​the person in front of her even more.

She smiled and said to Wang Can, who was standing beside her with his arm linked with hers and looked slightly reserved:

"Miss Wang has excellent taste! We're in dire need of help!"

That's right. Just now, the cold noodles that Jiang Zhi brought had almost sold out. After the crowd dispersed with a slight sense of disappointment, Wang Can seized the opportunity and squeezed his way in against the flow of people.

Then, looking at Jiang Zhi, who was preparing to pack up her stall, he was a little reserved. Finally, he couldn't help but ask Jiang Zhi on behalf of his father if she needed anyone else.

Jiang Zhi is definitely short-staffed. She's working like a spinning top all day long, mainly because she's short-staffed.

And sure enough, an employee with excellent experience actually came to us.

This greatly pleased Jiang Zhi, who had been short-staffed for a long time.

Jiang Zhi simply asked Pei Gu and the other man to help her by pushing the food cart to the doorway, so she could clean it up when she returned. Jiang Zhi herself excitedly tidied up, preparing to test the employee beforehand. If she was a good fit, they could start preparing to work tomorrow.

If it works well, with these two workers on the job, plus the people we can call on now, things will be much less stressful.

Jiang Zhi thought to herself with satisfaction.

*

Thinking this, before I knew it, I had arrived at the Wang family's residence.

Wang Can was initially a little awkward and stiff, but he was actually quite outgoing. As they walked, he became familiar with Jiang Zhi and didn't hold back his praise, being exceptionally generous.

She strode along, tilting her head to look at Jiang Zhi, until Jiang Zhi was a little embarrassed, before she finally laughed, revealing her sharp canine teeth.

"No wonder Su Chuan, who is usually so shy, would make a special trip from the east side of the city to the west side just to patronize Boss Jiang!"

"I think Mr. Jiang, not only do you make fresh and varied dishes, but you're also a very interesting person!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi was naturally in a good mood. She smiled and whistled, agreeing with herself.

But at the same time, she was also a little curious.

Who is Su Chuan?

"Boss Jiang should know him. He's the one who almost started Teacher Su's mini-lecture in the team today. You should be quite familiar with him, Boss Jiang! He's my classmate and friend!"

"Of course I know him..."

Following Su Chuan's topic, the two chatted more and more enthusiastically, their faces beaming with excitement.

*

Wang Can stopped talking only when they arrived at the doorstep. She smiled at Jiang Zhi, showing her teeth, and pointed to the neat but slightly old-fashioned house, saying:

"This is my house. Mr. Jiang, why don't you wait here for a while while I go and talk to my old man!"

Jiang Zhi looked her over and then raised her head to indicate that she had heard her.

In Sichuan, apart from wealthy families like the Pei family who own detached villas with courtyards, houses are usually narrow boxes oriented along streets and alleys, mainly to save space.

The Wang family's house was built with water-brick walls, and then coated with a layer of whitewash. However, due to the passage of time, the whitewash gradually turned into a dark gray.

The kitchen was covered with tiles, and the rest of the roof was thatched. This was still a rare sight for Jiang Zhi. Although they were everywhere in ancient times, they didn't exist in modern times. Jiang Zhi was usually too embarrassed to stare at other people's roofs all the time when she wasn't doing anything else, so she was able to look at them to her heart's content.

When Old Man Wang was pulled out by his daughter with a complicated expression, this was the scene he witnessed.

For some reason, the young girl suddenly looked at the thatched roof with great enthusiasm, muttering something to herself.

Old Wang was too far away to hear exactly what it was.

But this did not stop Old Man Wang from walking slower and slower, even though he was being supported by his daughter. He asked his daughter in a low voice.

"Hey Can, are you sure this person is reliable? Could she be a rich girl? There shouldn't be any treasures in our thatched roof, right?"

Wang Can paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and after confirming that she hadn't lied to anyone, she spoke frankly to her father.

"It's okay, let's go and test the waters first. Anyway, if things really don't work out, you can just run away and go back to your old profession, right?"

*

Although Jiang Zhi's old rival was somewhat bewildered by her initiative, he still mustered his spirits as he approached her.

He first pressed down the blouse he had just taken out of the box, then gently swayed past his daughter's kind support, and after confirming that his back was straight, he coughed twice in a fake manner, attracting Jiang Zhi's attention.

As soon as Jiang Zhi turned her head, she saw the cough of this elderly man who looked to be in his forties, and she was so frightened that she went to help him up.

But upon seeing that although this person coughed twice, his entire back hardly moved, Jiang Zhi realized that this person was probably her future employee.

She also took a closer look at her future employee with great interest.

In this era, many places were far better than the Song Dynasty of Jiang Zhi's previous life. There was no war, no shameful retreat of the imperial army, and trade was highly developed. Jiang Zhi had even vaguely heard You Yi mention that the imperial court had already opened sea routes, and goods from overseas would likely be officially introduced to the world in this era soon.

Therefore, at around 40 years old, she is still in her prime, so even if Jiang Zhi were to hire someone, she wouldn't need to be afraid of this sudden—

We've gotten a bit off-topic!

Jiang Zhi abruptly interrupted her thoughts, smiled at her future employee, and said:

"I presume you are Miss Wang's father?"

*

Jiang Zhi awkwardly started chatting, but what initially brought them together wasn't work-related matters, but rather—

"Ahem, if I may be so bold as to ask, how did you cultivate such an outstanding young lady like Miss Wang? To be honest, I also have a younger sister. She's quite clever and memorizes her lessons quickly, so I'm thinking of sending her to school through the library. But I don't know how to raise her properly, and I'm at my wit's end..."

"That's easy to say, look at my Can..."

Indeed, the two of them started talking about children's education. When they got really into the conversation, Jiang Zhi didn't even care that the person next to her was a man who was almost a generation older than her. She happily patted the employee on the shoulder.

Thanks to his years of teaching experience, Old Wang was finally recognized and happily retaliated.

Wang Can, who had just gone to fetch some water in preparation for assisting his father, couldn't get a word in edgewise when he returned.

When she came back, she could only stand silently to the side, listening to her father talk about his teaching experience and his embarrassing stories.

It's almost unheard of for me to have the urge to just pop myself into some crack in the ground.
