Yuan Dou Dou transmigrated in one go, becoming an orphaned woman with a young, nursing son.
Her biological parents are unknown, her mother-in-law is dead, and her uncle and aunt cannot be rel...
He had never mopped the floor at home before, so using a mop wasn't difficult for him. He mopped quickly and effortlessly. I must say, this DouDou sister has some skills.
If he could make some mops and sell them outside, wouldn't he earn more and faster than working as a waiter here?
No sooner said than done, Lu Xi was asleep in bed when he heard a strange noise, like the sound of clothes being torn. He opened his eyes and vaguely saw Fang He sitting on the ground, tearing a very familiar piece of clothing in his hand.
"Fang He, what are you doing? These are my clothes." Lu Xi woke up, jumped out of bed, and grabbed the clothes from Fang He's hand.
Fang He chuckled awkwardly, "Lu Xi, I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it with you. Don't worry, once I earn money, I'll buy you new ones. Look, your clothes are all torn and can't be worn anymore."
Lu Xi knew, of course, that the clothes were torn. He didn't have many clothes, and it was common for them to wear out. Usually, he would mend them himself when they were torn, but he hadn't had time to mend this one yet. Who would have thought that Fang He would take advantage of him while he was asleep to damage his clothes?
"Fang He, were you sent by someone to torture me?" Lu Xi asked warily, her expression serious.
Fang He burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Lu Xi, you're really funny. I've been staying at home all this time and don't know you at all. Don't overthink it. I just wanted to make some mops from old clothes and sell them."
"A mop? Why are you selling mops?" Lu Xi was completely confused. If anyone wanted to make one, they could just make it themselves. Who would buy one from outside?
"I said I'm going to sell them. Once I make some money, buying a few new clothes won't be a problem." Fang He was already fantasizing about his mops selling like hotcakes, with many people scrambling to buy them.
Lu Xi didn't want to discourage him, but he just couldn't accept reality.
"Fang He, I want to remind you that the mop was Dou Dou's idea. Before that, no one had ever used it. The customers who came here all saw that we were using it in our shop. Some of them were very interested and said they wanted to make one at home. Think about it yourself, if you can make something, why wouldn't others be able to? Why would they wait to spend money to buy yours?"
Doing business requires brains; at the very least, you need to have foresight.
This is why Yuan Doudou wouldn't consider making mops to sell; she knows no one would buy them, and even if they did, they wouldn't buy them a second time.
Every household has some old clothes, and wooden sticks are everywhere. Just find a wire to tie them together, it's that simple, why waste money?
After hearing this, Fang He's desire to make money was completely extinguished. Lu Xi was right; no one would come to buy it, so why should he bother?
Looking at the clothes torn into strips, Lu Xi shook her head and sighed, wondering what sins she had committed in her past life to have met someone like Fang He.
"Lu Xi, don't be angry. When I have money, I will definitely buy you a new one. Oh, one is too few, ten new ones. You have to believe me." Fang He said nervously, holding Lu Xi's hand, afraid that Lu Xi would get angry and ignore him, then he would really be doomed.
Lu Xi wasn't angry, she just wanted to laugh. She'd be a fool to believe him. Whether she could keep her job was another matter, let alone talking about making money.
"Alright, I don't need you to pay for it. It was a torn piece of clothing anyway." Lu Xi looked at the clothes, thinking that maybe she could still wear them if she sewed them up.
"Lu Xi, you're so good to me." Fang He hugged Lu Xi tightly, as if he were hugging his own younger brother.
The two lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, neither of them speaking, until they were so sleepy that they closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Just as Yuan Doudou and Tangtang lay down, An Rong came in with a worried look on his face, as if something was on his mind.
"What's wrong?" An Rong's face hadn't looked good ever since there was another person in the shop.
An Rong sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Dou Dou, I think we should recruit new people."
"Fang He made a mistake again?" Yuan Doudou guessed.
"He's really not suited for this job; he's already lost nine points." Since he's about to be able to leave, it's best to prepare early.
Yuan Doudou laughed, "He's new to society and lacks experience, so making mistakes is inevitable. We should be more tolerant; after all, who hasn't been young before?"
She also had internship experience, and she was scolded by her supervisor for even the smallest mistake, treated like a grandson.
She understands how tough it is for newcomers in the workplace.
The scoring system was initially developed to assess whether an employee was qualified and competent.
Numbers are merciless, but people are adaptable. Sometimes we need to give them some preferential treatment. We can't just punish without rewarding. Besides making mistakes, Fang He must also have his own shining qualities.
As long as the positive and negative complement each other, it's fine. As long as a person isn't all flaws, it's not a big deal. Having both strengths and weaknesses is normal for a person.
“An Rong, you’re taking this too seriously. Give him some more time, things will get better.” Yuan Doudou also considered Fang He’s wages. The fact that he doesn’t ask for wages is an advantage; it’s really hard to find someone like that.
However, Yuan Doudou is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. Even if Fang He doesn't want it, she will still give it to him at the market price, but only if he can stay successfully.
"You haven't seen how he does things. He's always nagging and slacking off. Compared to Lu Xi, he's far inferior." An Rong really couldn't stand it.
Yuan Doudou understood why An Rong was so dissatisfied; it turned out he was comparing Fang He and Lu Xi.
“An Rong, there’s a principle in life: comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable. Comparing Fang He and Lu Xi is unfair to Fang He and insulting to Lu Xi. Ask yourself honestly, how many people are like Lu Xi?”
An Rong thought about it carefully and realized it was true. Lu Xi was very similar to himself. He would never sleep in if he could get up early, and he would never do nine things if he could do ten. He was very diligent by nature.
“Not many,” An Rong replied.
“So you can’t compare like that. Maybe you can compare with someone else,” Yuan Doudou reminded him.
"You mean Huang Rong?" An Rong thought to herself that there was no one else at home.
Yuan Doudou nodded with a smile. Compared to Huang Rong, Fang He seemed much more capable.
She had observed that if Huang Rong didn't want to mop the floor, she would assign Fang He to do it, and Fang He would obediently go and mop the floor without hesitation.
"Now that you mention it, Fang He is actually not bad."
An Rong never said anything about Huang Rong in front of Dou Dou. Huang Rong was a girl, and even if she was lazy and slept in late, he never said a word to her. Besides, she was a person with a hard life. He only brought her to his house to take care of her. He never thought of her as a laborer.
"Right, Fang He is lively and talkative, and he is better at entertaining guests than Huang Rong. He is not as capable as Lu Xi, but that's not a big deal. After all, there aren't many people as capable as Lu Xi."
Yuan Doudou herself isn't a particularly diligent person, and when she looks at Fang He, she puts herself in his shoes, so she can naturally be tolerant of him. An Rong, on the other hand, is a diligent person, so he naturally has higher expectations of Fang He.
