Chapter 145: Pie in the sky, I want it!
"Zhao Di, don't leave yet."
Chu Yue's voice suddenly came. She was actually writing the contract with her head down while paying attention to Ye Zhaodi's situation.
Ye Zhaodi was startled and scratched her fingers nervously. Her face was no longer flushed as it was when she first quarreled with Zhou Genzhu. Instead, she looked like a young, poor girl with a sense of inferiority and helplessness.
She immediately turned around and looked at Chu Yue, thinking that Chu Yue had something to say to her, but Chu Yue didn't look up for a long time, so she could only stand there and wait quietly.
Seeing this, the greasy Zhou Genzhu cowered and even became complacent. He warned Chu Yue, "Comrade, if you pay, everything in my shop is yours. You really can't let this little girl go. We haven't even searched her yet, so who knows if she stole anything from the shop? Poor people like them who can't even afford to eat are full of dishonest people. You must keep your eyes open and search her before letting her go."
"I didn't steal anything!" Ye Zhaodi was furious when she heard Zhou Genzhu's slander. She wanted to catch Zhou Genzhu and beat him up again, but in front of Chu Yue, she didn't know why she didn't want to do that.
She always felt that Chu Yue was unusual, and she didn't dare let Chu Yue see her aggressive and ferocious appearance.
Ye Zhaodi didn't dare to take action again, while Zhou Genzhu became more and more arrogant.
He pointed at Ye Zhaodi and said, "You say there's nothing? Why should we believe what you say? You little bitch, I'm being polite to you by not stripping you of your clothes—"
"Boss Zhou, I've written the contract. Please sign it if there's no problem."
Chu Yue interrupted Zhou Genzhu's shouting with a cold voice. Her tone was calm and no emotion could be heard, but her slightly furrowed brows revealed her annoyance with Zhou Genzhu.
The middle-aged man's sharp and harsh voice was really annoying.
Zhou Genzhu didn't notice this at all, because all his attention was attracted by the hundred yuan Chu Yue took out.
Money... lots of money...
Zhou Genzhu calmed himself down and checked the details of the contract at a glance. Chu Yue had written all the parts involving the amount and materials carefully and clearly, without any mistakes.
"The contract is fine, I'll sign it."
In this way, Zhou Genzhu and Chu Yue signed two copies of the contract respectively, and each kept one copy for filing.
Zhou Genzhu held the newly signed contract in his hand, staring greedily at the hundred yuan in Chu Yue's hand, and said anxiously, "Money, give me the money quickly."
Chu Yue raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a hint of sarcasm, and handed the money over casually.
When Zhou Genzhu got the money, he was so happy that he opened his mouth and spat on his right thumb, then began to count the money one by one.
One, two, three... four, five, six...
"Boss Zhou, the money is correct, right?"
"That's right! It's exactly one hundred yuan! No mistake."
"Since the money is correct, this shop is mine from now on."
"Yes, yes, wait until I move the sewing machine, scissors, and other tools away, and the rest will be yours."
Zhou Genzhu's mind and eyes were full of money. He didn't even raise his head, searching for pockets all over his body, wondering where to hide such a large sum of money safely, even though the money would only pass through his hands for a short time and would have to be returned to the debt collectors in a blink of an eye.
But he has money now! This is the capital for a comeback!
If he had the capital, he could still try his best. Maybe one hundred could become two hundred, two hundred could become four hundred, and if it turned into one thousand, it would not be a problem for him to open a tailor shop again.
Once a gambler, always a gambler.
Chu Yue had long seen through Zhou Genzhu's nature. She turned away with contempt and said to Ye Zhaodi who had been waiting nervously on the side.
"Zhaodi, come here."
When Zhou Genzhu heard this, he put the money in his pocket, his squinting eyes widened, waiting to see what would happen to Ye Zhaodi.
Who knew, he heard Chu Yue say——
"Ye Zhaodi, I want to hire you as a store clerk, similar to a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative. The salary is 20 yuan a month. Are you willing to do it?"
How many? !
twenty? !
When Chu Yue said this, not only Ye Zhaodi herself, but even Zhou Genzhu was stunned with his mouth wide open.
In this day and age, the basic salary of a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative ranges from 15 to 25 yuan, depending on length of service and level.
Ye Zhaodi was just a young girl, a complete novice, who had never worked as a salesperson. However, Chu Yue offered her a monthly salary of 20 yuan, which was completely the treatment of an old employee.
Zhou Genzhu was the first to disagree, shouting back, "Comrade, if you want to find a salesperson for ten yuan a month, you can find a lot of them. There will be so many people vying for the job! Why did you hire this stinky girl—"
Chu Yue gave Zhou Genzhu a cold look, which immediately stopped him from chattering.
She was the one looking for the employee, what bullshit did she want from him.
Chu Yue glared at Zhou Genzhu fiercely, then looked at Ye Zhaodi, "Don't worry about what others say. Just tell me whether you want to do this job or not."
Ye Zhaodi was in a state of shock and confusion, and every cell in her brain was screaming with excitement, because that was twenty yuan!
All the money she had ever spent in her life was less than twenty dollars!
Now there are people willing to pay her twenty dollars a month to work for them!
It was like a huge pie falling on Ye Zhaodi's head, making her unable to believe it was true.
Ye Zhaodi was so excited that she was speechless. She clenched her fingers again and again, and then - nodded vigorously!
She panted, "I want it!"
"Okay." Chu Yue nodded in satisfaction and smiled at the little girl. "Today is your first day at work."
Ye Zhaodi was once again in a daze… How could this have happened so quickly? It was already the entire morning. Could it still be considered a day? Could she even pay for it?
Zhou Genzhu was also in disbelief.
His disbelief was different from Ye Zhaodi's. Ye Zhaodi was too excited and afraid that it was an illusion; Zhou Genzhu was out of anger, and a rage was burning in his chest.
When Chu Yue was bargaining with him just now, she acted like a seasoned businessman with many years of experience, not like a young girl at all. Her strong aura refused to give in, forcing Zhou Genzhu into a corner.
But now... Chu Yue actually hired this stinky girl who was kicked out by him as a salesperson and gave her an extremely high salary of twenty yuan a month.
What does this mean? Slap him in the face?
The anger that made Zhou Genzhu's face hurt was just the beginning, because Chu Yue said next.
"Zhao Di, your first job today is to keep an eye on him—" Chu Yue pointed at Zhou Genzhu unceremoniously, "From now on, this shop is mine, and everything inside is mine. I'll give you half an hour to take away everything you want. You're not allowed to take anything more than what's in the contract. Zhao Di, you have to keep a close eye on him, lest some thieves steal from you."
