Chapter 63 Hu Ben apologized and didn’t ask you to stop
Of course, you can’t recruit people just by saying so, but with this idea in mind, it shouldn’t be too difficult to slowly look for them.
That afternoon, Jiang Da posted the recruitment notice.
The next day, someone came to apply for the job. She was a middle-aged woman who spoke fluently and was very nimble. However, Han Yunru found that she was not very hygienic. There was black dust between her nails, and she liked to use the towel used to wipe the chopping board to wipe the table.
Jiang Da: "They are just minor issues. Just remind her to pay attention next time."
Han Yunru rolled her eyes at him. "What do you know? The smallest details can best reflect a person's lifestyle. Is it that easy to change?"
"Well, I didn't pay much attention to hygiene before, but haven't you changed now?"
Han Yunru curled her lips: "It took me more than ten or twenty years to correct you. Now how much time do you expect me to spend to reform an outsider?"
"No...I didn't mean that. So what do you say?"
In the end, Han Yunru paid the other party a day's salary and sent him away.
"Don't worry, let's take our time and choose. We'll always find the right one."
Jiang Da sighed, "I'm worried that you'll be too tired. If I recruit someone one day later, you'll have to work one more day."
"I'm fine. Just like Yueyue said, it's better to cause trouble now than to recruit an unreliable person to cause trouble later."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold..."
Jiang Fuyue didn't go to the store on Sunday, so she didn't know that there were difficulties in recruiting people.
At that time, she was receiving a phone call. The person on the other end seemed to be a chatterbox, chattering non-stop, while Jiang Fuyue had a cold expression and only said two sentences during the whole process -
"Um."
“…”
"knew."
After the call ended, she went into the bedroom, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out.
"Sister," Jiang Xiaodi came running over when he saw this, "Do you want to go out?"
"Um."
"Where are you going?"
"bookstore."
Jiang Xiaodi blinked, his eyes full of anticipation: "Then can I..." together?
"cannot."
“…”Oh no, I’m autistic.
"Lend me your cap, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
Brother Jiang raised his head quickly, his eyes shining.
This familiar conversation seemed to have happened not long ago...
Jiang Fuyue said she went to the bookstore, and she was not lying. She did go there, but she did not find the information she wanted.
She closed the "Engineering Physics (2nd Edition)" in her hand, put it back to its previous place, and turned to leave.
"Hey! Honghong, aren't you looking for the girl who came to the store to buy used books before?"
"Yes," the clerk known as "Honghong" put a pile of books on the counter and nodded. "I'm keeping an eye on it for an elderly gentleman. He should want to buy those old books. What's the matter?"
"Just now..." The colleague hesitated, "I saw a woman on the innermost bookshelf. She looked a bit like her. But she was wearing a baseball cap, so her face was hard to see."
"I'll go check it out!"
"Don't..." The colleague pulled her back, "The person has already left."
Honghong looked disappointed.
"Come on, what if I'm seeing things? Also, she doesn't look like a high school student at all..."
"I'd better give that old man a call. He's been here several times, so I have to tell him whether it's true or not." Honghong turned around, took out her phone, opened the address book and found the number. "Hello, is this Mr. Xu? I'm from Haitang Bookstore..."
After Jiang Fuyue left the bookstore, she walked to Chunfeng Street.
As night falls, the lights come on.
There are customers coming and going in front of Niu Sao's food stall, it is very lively.
Jiang Fuyue glanced around, found where Hu Ben and his little brother were, and walked over.
The same place, the same people, even the same baseball cap, and Jiang Fuyue's condescending look was exactly the same as that day.
Arrogant and condescending.
The only difference may be the attitudes of Hu Ben and Xiao Liu——
"Come on, sit down." Hu Ben stretched out his long arm, pulled a stool over, and smiled.
The other one diligently wiped the stool for her several times, and finally blew away the non-existent dust on it. He was extremely servile.
This seat, facing the entrance, is at the top, and is considered the seat of honor in traditional banquets.
Looking at these two people again, they were sitting quietly and obediently at the bottom, their smiles brighter than each other, even with a hint of flattery.
You know, the last time they met, their impatience and irritability were all written on their faces.
"What do you want from me?" Jiang Fuyue asked straight to the point.
Hu Ben and Xiao Liu exchanged a glance, "I..."
Just then, the proprietress brought over the grilled skewers and said, "Enjoy your meal, would you like something to drink?"
Hu Ben: "A can of beer and a glass of juice."
Jiang Fuyue: "No juice, I'll drink wine."
"But last time..."
The girl raised her eyes, and her clear and cool gaze fell on his face: "Is there a problem?"
Hu Ben swallowed hard and said to the proprietress, "Listen to her."
Mrs. Niu glanced at Jiang Fuyue with a hint of surprise, but she only saw the top of her head covered by a baseball cap. The skin on her neck was glowing white, and her frame was slender under her tank top, and her shoulders were thin.
"Great!" She responded with a smile, and soon, a can of beer with 12 bottles was brought to the table.
Hu Ben opened a bottle and tentatively handed it to Jiang Fuyue.
The latter took it, sipping beer and drinking skewers, feeling quite comfortable.
"How do you think it tastes?" Hu Ben asked with anticipation.
Jiang Fuyue's expression remained unchanged: "Not bad."
"That's good, that's good..." He breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his palms together. "Actually, I didn't ask you out today for any other reason. I just wanted to apologize in person. Last time, we were blind and our words were offensive. I hope you... can forgive our mistakes."
After saying that, he raised the bottle of wine. Seeing Xiaoliu still in a daze out of the corner of his eye, he quickly winked at him, and the latter immediately did as he was told.
"We'll do it first, you can do whatever you want." Then, he started blowing into the bottle.
Jiang Fuyue read it calmly without expressing any opinion.
Hu Ben's heart sank suddenly. He gritted his teeth and started blowing the second bottle.
Xiaoliu didn't quite understand the twists and turns, and he couldn't figure out Jiang Fuyue's attitude, but there was one thing he was very clear about - whatever Brother Hu did, he would do it without any problem.
For a moment, in the noisy food stall, there were only two men blowing bottles like crazy, without taking a break.
There was another woman at the same table. Her baseball cap covered most of her face, so her expression couldn't be seen clearly. But from the leisurely manner in which she tasted the wine and ate the snacks, it was not difficult to tell that she was in a good mood at the moment.
The man drank in agony, while the woman ate and drank calmly. The contrast was indescribably strange...
After the fifth bottle, Hu Ben felt like his stomach was about to burst, but he didn't dare to stop until Jiang Fuyue said something.
I can only grit my teeth and continue to be an emotionless drinking machine.
Just as he was about to open the sixth bottle, Jiang Fuyue spoke -
"Just drinking, no food?"
Hu Ben and Xiao Liu stopped at the same time, and both pairs of red, drunken eyes looked at her.
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyelids and looked back at Xiaoliu expressionlessly: "Did I tell you to stop?"
