Returning to 1955, I began a life of lively chaos and leisure in that legendary Siheyuan. Let's see how a modern person can live their own little life by "gouging" (playing it safe/layi...
After treating Sha Zhu, Lin Tian went to the store to work.
The store has been extremely busy recently due to the winter storage of vegetables, and even Xie Tian has personally gone to help at the front desk.
Lin Tian couldn't relax either because he was in charge of logistics.
Because a lot of vegetables are unloaded to the store every day, according to the usual practice, the store temporarily hired several temporary workers to be responsible for moving the vegetables. It would be a dream to let these people in the store unload the trucks. Even if it was implemented, there would be a lot of complaints afterwards. Anyway, the store is not short of money, so it might as well hire people to do it.
Just as he reached the gate of the compound, Lin Tian was stopped by Yan Fugui.
"Is Third Uncle's injury better now?" Lin Tian asked with a smile.
"It's better now. As long as there's no bleeding, just take care of it slowly." Yan Fugui said as he subconsciously touched his forehead.
"I'm going to work." Lin Tian said and was about to leave when Yan Fugui hurriedly said, "Xiao Lin, wait a minute, the Third Master wants to ask you something."
Lin Tian stopped and looked at Yan Fugui. What was this guy up to again?
"Xiao Lin, when I was buying groceries, I noticed that the store hired a lot of temporary workers, right?" Yan Fugui asked mysteriously.
"Yes, otherwise we wouldn't be able to handle it even with all of us." Lin Tian said frankly. There was nothing to hide about this matter. After all, they would recruit people during these days every year, and they were almost always the same few people.
Even though it's just a temporary job for a few days, it does have its benefits. Most people can't even get the chance. Just look at Yan Fugui, he worked so hard for so long just to buy some good food.
"Uncle San wants to ask you, are you still hiring in your store?" Yan Fugui said in a low voice.
"Uncle, if you want to go, I'm afraid you can't do it. The temporary workers we recruit are specifically responsible for unloading vegetables." Lin Tian said jokingly. With Yan Fugui's skinny physique, he would be exhausted if he really went to move vegetables.
Yan Fugui quickly waved his hand and said, "Hey, can I go? I would like to go, but I still have to go to work."
"I just want to ask if you can let your third aunt go and work for two days." Yan Fugui said flatteringly.
"Well... I really don't know about this. I have to ask if they are short of people. But even if I go, I won't be able to work for more than two days. Besides, the job is not easy." Lin Tian said.
"It's okay, it's okay, just ask."
"Okay, I'll ask for you." Lin Tian agreed to ask. After all, it was not a big deal. If they really needed help, it wouldn't be a big deal to ask the third aunt to help out for a few days.
"Thank you, thank you. This really works out. Uncle San will treat you to a drink." Yan Fugui's words were quite polite. However, Lin Tian didn't want to drink the water mixed with wine from Yan Fugui at all.
"Are we still short of people here?"
As soon as Lin Tian entered the store, he saw Li Wenhua. Recently, Lin Tian was too lazy to organize the logistics work, so he left it to Li Wenhua.
"We can handle the situation, if someone comes in it would be fine," said Li Wenhua.
"Okay, there's a woman in our yard who wants to come in and work for two days tomorrow. We'll find someone with lighter duties and let her do that for two days." Lin Tian said, but Lin Tian suddenly saw Xu Li at this time, and he didn't know if it would be awkward for the former mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to meet each other.
However, according to the character of the Yan family, as long as they can make money, it doesn’t matter whether it is embarrassing or not.
"Okay, just let her help count when the time comes." Li Wenhua nodded in agreement.
"Just take care of the arrangements, Xu Li's ex-mother-in-law." Lin Tian smiled and leaned close to Li Wenhua's ear and said.
Li Wenhua almost laughed out loud when he heard this and nodded repeatedly.
Lin Tian finished explaining the matter of the three aunts to Li Wenhua and was about to enter the office.
Li Wenhua pulled Lin Tian and said, "Zhu Siyuan is looking for you."
"Do you know what's going on?" Lin Tian asked.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a good thing." Li Wenhua said with a pout, motioning Zhu Siyuan to come over.
"Deputy Director Lin, you're here early!" Zhu Siyuan said sarcastically.
Because everyone has been quite busy recently, most people come early. However, Lin Tiancai comes on time every day regardless of that. After all, it does not delay work.
"Director Zhu, are you here to check my attendance?" Lin Tian retorted without any hesitation.
"No, no, I saw that Deputy Director Lin had worked too hard today, so he came so late." Zhu Siyuan said.
Lin Tian didn't want to argue with Zhu Siyuan anymore, otherwise he would talk nonsense with you for the whole morning.
Lin Tian said bluntly: "Director Zhu, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"I dare not, I dare not. I just want to ask if the supply in the back is a bit insufficient in the past two days. Didn't Deputy Director Lin see how many people are queuing in front?" Zhu Siyuan said.
Lin Tian also understood that Zhu Siyuan was just looking for trouble. The supply matters were all coordinated by the superiors, and the store just had to check the numbers and be responsible for sales.
"It seems that Director Zhu has some complaints about the higher-ups? Could it be that the amount of winter vegetables allocated to us is not enough? If so, I will go to the company to ask the leader later." Lin Tian said seriously.
Lin Tian's words choked Zhu Siyuan. How much food was allocated by the superiors? How many people lived in the store area? The superiors allocated it according to the number. It was not like other things that could be bargained for.
"I...that's not what I meant. What I meant was that Deputy Director Lin hired so many temporary workers. Isn't it a sign of inactivity? The vegetables have been delivered, why don't you unload them quickly?" Zhu Siyuan was choked and immediately found another excuse.
"Oh, that's what Director Zhu means! It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this group of temporary workers. What are they recruited for? They are not enthusiastic about their work! Who can afford the responsibility if the work is delayed?" Lin Tian pretended to be furious.
Then Lin Tian said to Zhu Siyuan, "Director Zhu, have you found anyone who is not working seriously? Tell me, and I will fire him immediately and will not hire him again in the future."
Zhu Siyuan wanted to use this matter to cause trouble for Lin Tian, and Lin Tian immediately followed Zhu Siyuan's words and prepared to defeat him.
Where did these temporary workers in the store come from? Almost all of them were relatives of the store employees, and they were all arranged with great effort. Since Zhu Siyuan wanted to make trouble for the temporary workers, he should fire them.
"Director Zhu, as long as you approve the note, I will immediately ask the finance department to settle the bill for him and let him go." Lin Tian said righteously.
Does Zhu Siyuan dare to open it? He dares, but he can't afford it. If he does, he will offend others. He is not stupid.
"You don't have to fire him. Deputy Director Lin just needs to manage him well and don't delay the previous work." Seeing that he couldn't control Lin Tian, Zhu Siyuan casually gave him a lecture and walked away in a square step.
