Crazy Stockpiling at the End of Days

Orphaned and working tirelessly for three years, I finally bought my own house only to face the apocalypse. For the second time, I must endure the same catastrophic disaster.

But this time I ...

Chapter 215 Hiring Shop Assistants

"Didn't you go to work today?"

Wang Jing went to help sell seafood yesterday afternoon, which means she should have been off work yesterday, so she shouldn't be at home today.

"I'm going to resign."

"What's wrong?"

“She’s unhappy with her job, and our family doesn’t need her salary, so we want her to quit and find another job,” said Aunt Ning, who was sitting next to me.

"Have you found a job yet?" Xu Lin asked.

"No, I'm planning to look slowly over the next couple of days," Wang Jing said.

"Would you like to come to my shop?" Xu Lin felt like she was being helped by heaven.

"Are you hiring? Can I come?" Wang Jing asked, pleasantly surprised.

"I'm planning to hire two people to watch the shop. I just asked Li Jingjing, and she's already at the shop."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now." Wang Jing pulled Xu Lin and started to leave.

"You didn't even ask about the salary!"

"We're not short of money, we just want to experience life."

"You will receive the same treatment as Li Jingjing, tentatively 160 points per day, with four days off per month on a rotating basis. You can discuss it yourselves. You'll get a 40% discount on seafood purchases, and we'll raise your salary if business is good in the future."

"It's much better than my salary at work. I only get 100 points at work."

After they finished speaking, the two walked into the store together.

Li Jingjing had finished cleaning and even sold a bag of dried shrimp.

The three of them sat down together and began a meeting.

“I’m planning to organize a group purchase. I’ll list all the seafood I can sell and mark the prices. You two will be responsible for counting the number of group purchases and the fees each day and reporting them to me. Zhou Pin and I will go to Jinshi to purchase the goods, and then you two will sell them in the store once they arrive. Of course, we will also buy a little extra of each type to sell in small quantities. The group purchase price will be a little lower than the retail price.”

"Group buying is the main business, but we also sell other items on consignment, such as dried seafood and honey from Jingjing's shop. I charge a consignment fee of 10% of the selling price."

"Can the items my dad and Zheng Ming brought back be sold on consignment?" Wang Jing asked.

"Yes, but you can't sell goods that could cause disputes," Xu Lin said.

"Of course not, we can't shoot ourselves in the foot."

They've agreed on their work schedule, and today is their first day on the job. They can take turns going home for lunch or bringing their own food, or they can cook at the store.

Xu Lin spent the morning in the shop, helping them streamline the process and posting group-buying promotion notices outside. As soon as the notices were posted, about ten people came to join the group buy; they were all people who hadn't managed to snag any seafood yesterday.

Xu Lin went home with Li Jingjing at noon. She wouldn't come over in the afternoon. Li Jingjing would come back after lunch to replace Wang Jing.

Zhou Pin had already prepared dinner at home, and Xu Lin told him about hiring Li Jingjing and Wang Jing as shop assistants.

After finishing their meal, the two rested. They were going to Jinshi that evening because the group-buying event had already started. As promised, the seafood would arrive at the store tomorrow. The two went to Jinshi tonight to catch deep-sea fish and would return tomorrow to sell them.

The two set off at 7 p.m. The daylight did not hinder their journey, and they were already familiar with the route, so they arrived in four hours.

This time, the two went directly to the dock. Zhou Pin had a stamp-like object with him, and the gatekeeper verified it and let them through.

The two sailed directly to the farthest point and began fishing with nets. Xu Lin had Zhou Pin sail to a nearby area where there were no other boats, took out professional diving equipment from her spatial storage, and changed into it with Zhou Pin. She then equipped the boat with professional fishing gear.

The fishing boat was anchored in the middle of the sea. The two of them went into the sea wearing diving gear. Xu Lin stored everything she could and couldn't see into the small sea in her spatial dimension.
