After the building management staff left, all the other companies in the building had already gone home, and the employees of Beiqiao Construction Company and Beiqiao Transportation Team had also left.

Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao also packed their things and prepared to go home.

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the building, they saw Deng Hongying and Liu Hongjun, a couple who looked somewhat travel-worn, standing at the entrance and peering into the building.

Upon seeing Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao come out, the two went to greet them.

Huo Beixiao and Liu Hongjun shook hands.

Deng Hongying said with a rare hint of embarrassment, "Qiaoqiao, your company is actually in such a nice building, it's so high-class."

We stood outside for ages, but we didn't dare go in.

Before coming to Haicheng, she was quite ambitious. After all, she worked in a department store in Sichuan Province, where she was surrounded by wealthy people, and she considered herself to be worldly-wise.

But after arriving in Haicheng from Sichuan Province and seeing the high-rise buildings everywhere, the cars running all over the place, and the bicycles that could cause traffic jams, she realized what it meant to be a frog in a well.

She knew that greater prosperity meant more opportunities.

So after arriving in Haicheng, she immediately took Liu Hongjun to the wholesale market to get goods and started her old business of selling clothes.

She just didn't expect that the so-called most fashionable styles that the wholesale stall owner recommended to her were actually all outdated.

Most importantly, from her perspective as someone who sells clothes in Sichuan Province, those styles were already quite fashionable.

After receiving the goods, she dreamed that they would be snapped up, making her a fortune. Soon after, she would be able to rent a shop in Haicheng and open a clothing store. With the money she earned, she would buy a house in Haicheng, settle down, and become a resident of the big city.

As a result, when she took her clothes to the market, reality slapped her hard in the face.

Finally, she discovered that her items were outdated styles. When she took them back to the wholesale stall owner, he stubbornly pointed to the "no returns or exchanges" sign and showed them to her.

They caused a scene for two days, but the boss called the police instead. After being lectured by the police, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

By this time, all their savings had turned into a pile of unsold clothes.

She originally wanted to take the clothes directly back to Sichuan Province to sell, but she was reluctant to leave the prosperity of Haicheng.

In addition, they did the math and realized that even if they sold all the clothes back in Sichuan Province, they would only be able to recoup their travel expenses to Haicheng and the expenses they incurred during their stay in Haicheng.

It was as if they had come to Haicheng for nothing, so they were somewhat unwilling to go back.

Finally, it was during a phone call with Liu Jun, who used to work at the department store, that she learned that Yang Qiaoqiao also owned a garment factory there, and that's when she thought of contacting Yang Qiaoqiao.

It was getting late, so Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao didn't take Liu Hongjun and Deng Hongying back to the company. Instead, they went to a restaurant, ordered some dishes, and ate and talked.

After hearing Deng Hongying's story, Yang Qiaoqiao also told them about her job recruitment situation.

Deng Hongying intended for her to work in a garment factory, but not as a factory worker; she wanted her to work in the marketing department.

After hearing this, Deng Hongying readily agreed, as she actually really enjoyed buying clothes.

As for Liu Hongjun, he used to be a truck driver and knows how to drive and repair vehicles. Huo Beixiao suggested that he work in the transportation team. As for his specific position, that will be determined after he joins the team and his performance is evaluated.

During the meal, Yang Qiaoqiao also talked to Deng Hongying about Liu Jun.

She remembered when she went to the department store to buy a suit for Huo Beixiao, Liu Jun, that young girl, was still a bit shy and not very skilled at sales pitches. She couldn't talk a good game or coax customers.

But the girl was very sincere.

In sales, if you're not good at speaking, sincerity is a sure-fire way to succeed.

Deng Hongying said that since Yang Qiaoqiao's Beiqiao Shopping Mall opened, the department store's business has not been as good as before, and the department store owner is becoming more and more stingy, always coming up with various excuses to deduct the wages of their employees.

So Liu Jun actually wanted to resign and try his luck.

But the girl wasn't particularly outgoing to begin with, and she was worried that if she couldn't find a job after leaving, she would lose her job at the department store.

Yang Qiaoqiao listened without offering to let Liu Jun work for her.

Although she is short-staffed, the responsibilities she bears are different when she takes the initiative to ask for people to come to her, compared to when others actively seek her out to work for her.

So before Deng Hongying approached her, she had never offered Deng Hongying a job.

Then Yang Qiaoqiao looked at the two large bags of clothes that Yang Hongying had brought in.

The style of this clothing is indeed outdated in Haicheng, but it should still be able to sell in Sichuan Province.

She suggested to Deng Hongying that she could send the clothes back to Sichuan Province and ask relatives and friends to help sell them at a low price, so that she could at least recoup some of her costs.

Upon hearing Yang Qiaoqiao's words, Deng Hongying's eyes lit up instantly. "Qiaoqiao, you're right! How come I didn't think of that!"

"No wonder you make so much money in business!" Deng Hongying exclaimed sincerely.

Yang Qiaoqiao was amused by her exaggerated appearance.

In reality, she's just someone who has lived an extra life, experienced the information explosion era, and seen more of the world, so her thinking is more active than people of this era.

Deng Hongying didn't think of it for a moment, but it was just because transportation was inconvenient at this time, and she simply didn't have the concept of logistics in her mind.

While Yang Qiaoqiao and Deng Hongying were chatting, Huo Beixiao was also talking to Liu Hongjun.

Because of what happened at the movie theater, Huo Beixiao still had a good impression of Liu Hongjun.

After some conversation, Huo Beixiao discovered that Liu Hongjun, as a driver, was truly skilled and had a thorough understanding of all the different models of cars currently available in China.

Huo Beixiao probably wants to retain such talent. He initially set a base salary of 400 yuan per month for Liu Hongjun, plus a bonus system for each time he drove a car and repaired a car, and asked him to come to the company to sign the contract tomorrow.

The average salary in Haicheng is only around 217 yuan, so the salary Huo Beixiao gave Liu Hongjun is considered extremely high by today's standards.
