Chapter 135

On the third day after Lu Zheng Hotel opened, there was a new employee in the small building.

The reason why Lu Zheng thought of recruiting employees was that he wanted to unlock the "laundry and drying room", and one of the prerequisites was that the hotel needed to have at least one employee.

Currently, the hotel is still in its early stages and can only recruit one employee for the time being, whose job type is: cleaner.

But for such a job opportunity, the six friends living in the small building of the hotel almost fought to the death.

The reason is simple, because the hotel employees will receive a certain amount of raft points every day, and the points are paid daily, which means that they do not need to take out their own supplies to exchange for points, as long as they rely on their labor, they can continue to live in the hotel for free.

Although everyone has gold reserves and a piece of gold jewelry can allow them to stay in a hotel for a long time, it is ultimately a one-way consumption.

Now that there is such a two-way accommodation method, everyone naturally wants it.

It’s a pity that the hotel has just started operating and there is only one job vacancy at the moment, so even if everyone is a good partner, they still have to compete fairly and reasonably for the job.

When Lu Zheng announced the recruitment of employees, he also gave several work tests in order to deal with the current situation.

The test is not difficult. It consists of some cleaning and sanitation tasks that need to be completed every day after taking up the post, such as mopping the floor, wiping, etc.

Currently the hotel does not have a "one-click dust removal" function, so everyone has reached an agreement long before checking in that the hygiene inside each room is the responsibility of everyone themselves. After all, the current situation is not that the hotel is begging them to stay, but that they are begging the hotel to stay.

The area of ​​a room is not large, and each person is responsible for his or her own living space, which does not take up much time every day. Each room also has a toilet and faucet, so washing and wiping are many times more convenient than before in Cham County.

Everyone has survived the apocalypse for so long, even Xu Jiechu, who originally had the worst manual skills, was very efficient in cleaning up.

The position being recruited only requires responsibility for daily sanitation of public areas. The hotel is completely new and clean everywhere. In addition, everyone particularly cares about the environment in the hotel, so the cleaning work is not complicated and everyone can do it. That's why Lu Zheng came up with the idea of ​​testing before taking the position.

After a fierce competition, the final result came out quickly.

So that day, when Shu Fu slept until he woke up naturally and had a leisurely brunch, he went to the hotel raft to visit out of boredom, and saw the girl with braids working in the lobby with a mop and a happy look on her face.

His body shape was almost the same as that of the big guy Longsheng. He held a long-handled mop in his hand, which looked small. He was mopping the already very clean floor even cleaner over and over again. He was obviously working alone, but he looked extremely happy.

On the side, the other little friends were also there, standing or squatting idly. They were obviously free, but their faces were not happy. They stared at the boy with braids and found fault with him.

"Qiu Wang, please drag that blind spot as well!"

"Wangzi, your movements are not very professional. You almost broke the mop!"

"Yes, Qiu Wang, if you can't do it, just tell me earlier, don't force it!"

"Yes, Wangzi, although the public area of ​​this small building is not big, it has three floors. Oh, the terrace should also be counted as one floor. Can you do it? If not, you can discuss it with the boss and ask him to hire one more person!"

…

It was the first time that Shu Fu saw a girl with braids being treated like a star and addressed by her full name. It was also at this moment that she finally knew the other person's name: Qiu Wang.

However, no matter how his friends "picked on him", Qiu Wang always looked happy. While cleaning, he would occasionally raise his left wrist, deliberately revealing the wristband on it, which in turn was booed by others.

Shu Fu discovered that his wristband, which was originally the same dark brown as everyone else's, had turned into a bright orange.

Soon, Shu Fu learned from Jiang Dai that Qiu Wang had fought his way through the employee competition. It was because he had been registered on Lu Zheng's employee list that the color of the wristband changed, as if it was a mark to allow people living on the raft to recognize each other's identity at first sight.

Currently, raft guests are given dark brown wristbands, raft staff are given orange ones, and the owners and their families who are towing the rafts are given ice blue ones.

Jiang Dai explained in great detail. To her, every detail of life on the raft was worth taking note of: "...Everyone was originally guessing who would get the employee position in the end. Some guessed me, and some guessed Xu Tingfeng. Unexpectedly, the person who usually didn't care was the most serious this time. He seemed to like this hotel more than he showed..."

As Jiang Dai was speaking, Yao Ruoyun also came over to visit and happened to hear Jiang Dai explaining the matter of the hotel employees.

She actually went to Shufu Raft to look for her first, and when she saw that she didn't answer the door, she came to Lu Zheng's place. However, when she heard what Jiang Dai said, she listened carefully, and after a moment she suddenly said, "Employee? I think I can hire a helper."

Jiang Dai:...!

According to Yao Ruoyun, the "Employee" column did not appear in the "Planting" column on the electronic screen at first.

The change came that day, when she exchanged supplies for wristbands and raft points at the hotel's redemption machine.

She also discovered it last night, but did not study it further. After all, the planting area on the raft was not particularly large, and she usually helped her parents, so she never thought about hiring anyone to help.

But now seeing the situation at the hotel, I think it would be a good idea to hire a helper to lighten the burden on my parents, and at the same time I can find a job for my friend.

Yao Ruoyun was a person of impetuous temperament. She did what she said and just went ahead. She said that she would also need to hire people to work in her planting room, and then ran back to study the specific operations on the electronic screen.

The situation in the grow house is different from that in a hotel, because it is not a fixed daily job, but more like hiring helpers. The position is "plant worker", and the working hours are about three to four days a week. The specific days are decided by Yao Ruoyun herself.

The work content and remuneration points of a "planter" are the same as those of a "cleaner", and are fixed in the employee column. Once a person is registered in the "planter" column, as long as he completes the required work every day and the work is confirmed to be completed by the raft owner, the raft points remuneration that this person should receive will be automatically transferred from the raft owner to the "planter", which is very convenient and orderly.

On the other hand, if the employee does not work diligently and does not complete the required work properly, and the raft owner refuses to confirm that the work is completed, he or she will not receive the corresponding compensation.

The rules are simple but practical.

However, there were only a few of them on the raft, and there were only two rafts towing. To them, these employment rules were like playing house, and the fun was far greater than the work itself.

Yao Ruoyun was different from Lu Zheng. He was much more careless in the process of hiring people. He mainly asked the other party whether they had any planting experience. He asked a planting-related question that he had temporarily asked Hua Qiong, and then made a decision directly.

This time, Jiang Dai was lucky enough to be selected.

"Thank you!" Jiang Dai stretched out her hand and shook hands with Yao Ruoyun's family respectively. It felt like she had won some architectural design award.

When the friends were having a great time playing the "business simulation" game on the raft, Shu Fu received another call from Chen Fa.

She thought the other party had finished the matter in Kangsu County and would even bring Wu Shaoshan to meet her. She was thinking that things were going smoothly. They had said it would take several days, but it was over in just two or three days.

However, Chen Fa told her that he couldn't meet up with her yet because she had to go to Zhashui County.

The matter in Kangsu County was indeed over. As she expected, Wu Shaoshan finally came to her senses and decided to go with them. But when Wu Shaoshan asked Chen Fa about the situation in Chamu County, she also sent a message to Zhang Tian to ask about the situation in Shacheng.

Zhang Tian seldom posted messages in the group in recent months because there were many things she couldn't talk about until Wu Shaoshan found her this time.

Zhang Tian's parents still divorced, and this time, it was Zhang's father who initiated the divorce. Zhang's mother endured her husband's cheating for so long, not only for her daughter, but also so that she could continue to live a comfortable life in Shacheng.

But she didn't expect that even though she endured this disgusting anger, Zhang's father would eventually divorce her because the mistress was pregnant and he wanted to make her his legal wife.

Zhang Tian has a bad temper. In the past six months, she has quarreled with him almost every other day because of her father's infidelity.

She was the only daughter in the family, and she was brought up in a pampered way. In addition, her father's affair was so bad that she naturally had no scruples when she started to curse, and she could curse as harshly as she could. It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but after so long of quarreling, making a fuss, and cursing, the little father-daughter affection that Zhang's father had for Zhang Tian was worn out.

This time, Zhang's father was determined to divorce, and during the argument, he revealed that Zhang's mother also had someone else outside.

Zhang's mother found the young hunk because she was upset after her husband cheated on her. In her opinion, this was a form of retaliation and balance, but the fact is that the two of them cheated on each other, Zhang's father wants a divorce, and the financial power of the family is in his hands.

The final result speaks for itself.

About two or three months ago, Zhang Tian moved with her mother to Zhashui County on the outskirts of Shacheng. Although it was also considered part of the Shacheng area, it was an outer county after all. Plus, they didn't have much money, so their quality of life had plummeted compared to before.

Zhang Tian was willing to go out and find a job to earn money to support herself and her mother, but she didn't expect that her mother would be cheated of the last money she had by a young man.

They were not the first group of migrants to move to Xizhou Province, and the deadline for receiving free water and supplies had long passed. Their lives had been very difficult in the past two months, but Zhang Tian had been holding on, working hard every day to earn money to support her housing and water expenses, and she had even saved some money and supplies.

She forgave Zhang's mother again, thinking that she could start over with her in Zhashui County, but Zhang's mother took the money and supplies she had saved, and left a note saying that she would go back to Shacheng to find Zhang's father and get back the money that was due to her after the divorce.

But to Zhang Tian, ​​this was betrayal and abandonment.

This time she couldn't bear the blow and fell ill.

Their family evacuated to Sand City early, and she hardly suffered from the disaster. Earlier, she could still complain about her father's cheating in the group. But the drastic changes in life in the past few months have already broken her bottom line, and she is too embarrassed to talk about it even to her sisters who used to have a good relationship with her.

If Wu Shaoshan had not had to move alone due to family problems this time, she might have continued to keep silent about it.

Wu Shaoshan’s family situation is even more speechless. In order to help her brother get a job, her parents want to “marry” her to a local powerful figure.

Fortunately, she was smart enough to pretend to be obedient and wait for an opportunity to escape and hide.

"...Fortunately I went there, and everything is fine now." Chen Fa said it easily on the other end of the phone, but Shu Fu knew that the process of rescuing Wu Shaoshan must not have been easy.

Chen Fa then told Shu Fu that Zhang Tian was in a clinic in Zhashui County. Her condition was not good and her illness was severe. She probably couldn't even afford the medical expenses. Chen Fa rented a car and originally planned to take her grandmother and Wu Shaoshan to Gongmang County with the convoy, but now she planned to go to Zhashui County first, after all, there was someone waiting to save her life there.

Zhashui County is located in the suburbs of Shacheng, about 700 kilometers away from Kangsu County. It can be reached in about 12 hours in peacetime.

Given the current weather conditions, it would take two or three days to get there if we're unlucky. Add on the return journey and the time it takes for Zhang Tian to recover, and conservatively speaking, the time we'll be able to reunite with her will be delayed by half a month.

"There's no problem with being late. We have plenty of time. The key is you and grandma. Safety should be the priority at all times." Shu Fu didn't want Chen Fa to think that she was biased, so she didn't persuade her to meet up with her first.

What's more, this was Chen Fa's own decision and she had to respect it.

But after the trip to the Beidi Plateau, her relationship with Chen Fa must have been closer than Wu Shaoshan and Zhang Tian. Their reunion this time was full of twists and turns, and she was always a little worried, so she repeatedly reminded her to be careful.

"Just bring yourself, grandma, and the others here safely. Don't worry about the container. I have a way to solve the accommodation problem." At this time, surprise or not is not that important. "Xu Ting, Feng Jiang Dai, and the others have already settled on the raft. Everything is ready. The only thing missing is you."

"I'm sorry, Xiaofu, for making you worry..."

"Well, I'm glad to know that. You should think more about how to compensate me when we meet!" Shu Fu deliberately said seriously.

Chen Fa laughed on the other end of the phone: "Then I really have to think about it carefully. Also, tell the others for me not to worry them."

"I know."

"See you later, Xiaofu."

"See you later, FaFa!"

**

That evening, huge waves arose in the water area. The sky suddenly turned as dark as ink. Strong winds and heavy rain roared on the water. The surrounding waves began to surge and the protective cover of the raft that was originally closed by Shu Fu opened automatically.

The Drifting Island House itself is very sturdy. In the current situation, it should be because it has detected a disaster nearby that the two towing rafts cannot handle.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a huge wave tens of meters high rose from the east side of the water.
