Grandpa Lin is usually not very talkative, and sometimes people even forget he's there.
He stayed in the back all day, helping the two of them whenever he could, and chatting with them in his spare time.
"Grandpa, based on your observations, what do you think of them?"
Grandpa Lin has a wealth of life experience and is quite adept at judging people.
"Xiao Jin and Xiao Yuan are good. They are strong and honest. They are very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, they would still be unemployed at home."
Grandpa Lin was busy in the back, chatting with the two of them while inquiring about their situation.
Xiao Jin is only eighteen years old this year, while Xiao Yuan is two years older than him, twenty.
The two are neighbors.
They were both only children in their families and didn't need to go to the countryside.
But jobs are hard to find.
Xiao Jin's father was a master craftsman at a gas turbine factory, and his mother was just a temporary worker in the neighborhood; naturally, their jobs could not be transferred to him.
Xiao Yuan's family is only made up of his father, who works in a candy factory. Because of the long working hours, he earns about 70 or 80 yuan a month.
If the job were given to Xiaoyuan, he would only be able to start with the lowest wage, which is only thirty-five yuan.
After considering the options, the family decided it wasn't worth it, so they had no choice but to let the father continue working to support the family.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Yuan are both honest people. Even though they couldn't find jobs, they didn't go out and loiter on the streets.
The two buried themselves in their work, pasting matchboxes together, a task assigned by the neighborhood committee.
I can earn about ten yuan a month to supplement my family's income.
Xiao Jin's mother works in the neighborhood and heard that the government was going to open a shop for a food factory.
She immediately thought of her son.
So as soon as Lin Yu announced that he was hiring, Xiao Jin's mother immediately ran home and called Xiao Jin and Xiao Yuan to go for interviews.
The final result was quite surprising; both of them were accepted.
Lin Yu only realized from her grandfather's words that the two of them had come together.
During the interview, she only felt that the two boys were honest and looked strong.
After asking a few questions, I found him to be a reliable and hardworking person, so I hired him.
Grandpa Lin nodded: "The two children seem to be behaving themselves today, but we'll have to observe them further."
Lin Yu nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Grandpa."
Grandpa Lin waved his hand: "What's so hard about it? Your grandma and I are living a good life now."
Grandma Lin nodded and said, "Yes, in the past, we would never have dared to imagine that we would come to Haicheng again."
When Lin Yu first arrived, he wanted to train Lin Shan, so he entrusted him with all the tasks to complete independently.
She took her grandparents around to play by herself.
We also tried quite a few local delicacies.
Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin are already very content.
They were both happy to help out at the store, even though it was just doing some chores, and they didn't find it tiring at all.
Besides, they both still receive salaries.
Of course, you have to work once you've received the money.
Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin both found their places in the store.
Lin Yu handed over all the affairs of the franchise store to Lin Shan, and only took care of looking at the accounts herself.
The store's business has grown as its reputation has spread.
Even starting from the second day of opening, the discount was changed to 40%.
But sales figures kept increasing day by day.
The price only dropped after it returned to its original level.
Lin Yu, worried that everyone might feel disappointed, comforted them, saying, "Things will gradually stabilize in the future; the situation is already very good now."
The shop assistants were initially a little worried, but after hearing what Lin Yu said, they felt relieved.
As long as the franchise stores do well, they won't lose their jobs.
Lin Shan was not worried at all; he had long anticipated today's sales decline.
During this time, he also got a clear idea of how big the Haicheng market was.
Their provincial capital is really no match for this place.
Big cities are indeed big cities; the people of Haicheng have a much higher spending power than people from their hometown.
He believes that it won't be long before the Haicheng store surpasses the provincial capital's store.
Although they work for the same company, Lin Shan and Xiao Ju, the store manager in the provincial capital, have always been secretly competing.
At the beginning of opening the store, Lin Shan and the provincial capital exchanged many phone calls.
Xiaoju over there had also been secretly inquiring about the situation at the Haicheng store.
They were both testing each other, afraid that the other would do better than them.
With the pressure of competition, both of them worked very hard.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu smiled and shook her head: "Big brother is so energetic now, he seems to have become several years younger."
She walked along the road, lost in thought.
She was only responsible for leading the team to Haicheng, leaving all the shop matters to Lin Shan. With nothing to do, she planned to visit her friends.
After Lin Yu left last time, Qiao Feng stayed for another week before returning to the army.
The house was left to Tao Xinxin to look after.
When Lin Yu and the others arrived in Haicheng, they also stayed in a small villa.
Tao Xinxin had taken good care of the place; it was very clean and tidy, and you could move in right away.
Lin Yu's plan for this trip was to first thank Tao Xinxin.
Knowing that she would be going to her mother-in-law's house on the weekend, Lin Yu chose to go after get off work on a weekday.
When we arrived at the Tao family's house, the family of three hadn't eaten yet.
Tao Xinxin happily pulled her inside: "Xiaoyu, you're here! I was planning to go to Jiangnan Road after get off work in a couple of days."
Lin Yu called her from Haicheng to tell her that he was opening a shop and didn't have time to come see her for the time being.
Tao Xinxin waited for several days, and when she saw that she hadn't come, she decided to go and check on her herself.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "You're most welcome. Come over whenever you're free."
Lin Yu took out a can of food from her bag: "I brought some treats for Tao Tao. If it's not enough, come to the store to get more."
Tao Xinxin took the can, ignoring Tao Tao's eager gaze, and put it away: "You can't eat it now, you can have it tomorrow, understand?"
Tao Tao nodded blankly, not knowing whether he understood or not.
Lin Yu also thought he was cute and adorable.
"If Tao Tao likes it, you can come to the store and pick it up; consider it a gift from me."
Tao Xinxin waved her hand: "If he likes it, he can just buy it for me. There's no need to give it to him as a gift. You're not doing charity."
"what ever."
Lin Yu simply wanted to thank Tao Xinxin for her help, but she was also pleased that Tao Xinxin was a sensible person.
I can only repay her when I have the chance in the future.
Dinner was once again prepared by Comrade Zhang Hongfei, who made three bowls of noodles with soybean paste.
Lin Yu gave him a thumbs up: "It's delicious."
Despite his seemingly aloof demeanor, this man is a perfect homemaker, and a surprisingly good one at that.
Zhang Hongfei pushed up his glasses and said, "You flatter me."
Tao Xinxin ate without even lifting her head, clearly starving after a long day at work.
She looked up and told Lin Yu that their colleague, Comrade Zhang, had been promoted.
He used to be just a junior staff member, but now he's the deputy head of the department.
Congratulations! Your career is getting better and better.
Zhang Hongfei said modestly, "Thanks to you."
He wasn't lying; it was probably because of his connection with Lin Yu that Director Luo noticed Comrade Zhang.
I thought he was efficient and a good comrade, so I entrusted him with important tasks.
