Chapter 502 Li Xiang
The short man said, as if afraid that Tan Chen would not give him a chance, and quickly added: "I grew up in Beijing and am very familiar with the place. If you need to run errands to buy materials or something, I am the best at it, and I guarantee that everything I buy will be cheaper than on the market."
Seeing that the short man's words were convincing and his attitude was particularly sincere, Tan Chen did not rush to send him away.
Although he had almost bought all the materials for decorating the house, there was no guarantee that he would find something missing along the way. He and Shang Ruoting would start school in two days, and he couldn't take leave frequently to go out and buy things.
If this person has connections and can run errands, it would be useful.
There is no need to be afraid if he has any bad intentions. When buying things, let your cousin bring money with him. If he turns out to be a scammer, you can just chase him away after you find out.
Anyway, Tan Chen's skills mean he's not afraid of these little thugs causing trouble, and at worst there's the police station.
"Do you have any way to buy everything needed for renovation?"
Seeing that Tan Chen was about to give in, the short man quickly assured him, "I promise, as long as it's available in the capital, I can get it."
"The salary here is not much, are you willing?" asked Tan Chen.
The short man nodded and pointed at Zhang Wenfu and the others and said, "Just give them the same treatment as them."
Tan Chen raised his eyebrows: "They help me work here, the daily salary is one, including food and accommodation."
"Okay, no problem." The short man agreed readily.
He has had enough of it over the years. He would make a little money, but it would be squandered in a few days, and in the end he was still a pauper.
Now I am in my twenties and I can’t even find a partner.
He has always wanted to find a stable job.
However, those who knew them in the capital were unwilling to use them.
Seeing that Tan Chen had an opportunity, he had to seize it. No matter how much money he made, it was the first step for him to get on the right path.
The tall man obviously didn't understand what he was thinking.
"Li Xiang, what are you thinking? You're going to do this kind of hard and tiring work?"
Li Xiang's eyes were extremely determined at this moment: "I will do it."
The tall man was speechless: "So Li Zengfa doesn't want the money he owes you?"
Li Xiang replied: "Of course I have to pay the money I owe you. I can't find anyone now, but I still need to eat, right?"
Seeing Li Xiang's firm attitude, the tall man stood up with difficulty: "Hey... since you want to live like this, I won't stop you. Let's go, goodbye..."
When Tan Chen saw the tall man leave, he invited everyone to the yard.
Let Zhang Wenfu take the villagers to familiarize themselves with the environment and find a place to live.
Since he decided to use Li Xiang, he couldn't be too hasty. He had to at least understand some things.
"Just now I heard your companion teach you about Li Xiang?"
Li Xiang: "Yes, Muzi Li, the ideal Xiang."
Tan Chen: "You have the money to lend someone two thousand, but now you are willing to earn a daily salary of one?"
Li Xiang: "That was all in the past. I went south with a friend to trade some things and made a little money. It happened that Li Zengfa was in urgent need of 1,000 yuan at the time, so I lent it to him. He promised to return the 2,000 yuan with interest in two years."
If there was no falsehood in Li Xiang's words, Tan Chen would have known clearly what he had done.
"Since you just mentioned that you can run errands, these people just arrived here and haven't prepared anything to cook. If it's convenient for you, you can take my cousin with you to buy some."
Tan Chen did this to test Li Xiang's ability and character.
"That's no problem. I'm familiar with the places selling things nearby."
Tan Chen called Zhang Wenfu, gave him some money, and asked him to go out with Li Xiang to buy daily necessities.
Li Xiang knew clearly that Tan Chen did not trust him yet, so he sent people to follow him.
This is normal. No matter who you are, you would not feel comfortable giving money to someone you are not familiar with to buy something.
More than an hour later, Li Xiang and Zhang Wenfu came back carrying a lot of things.
The villagers came up to help clean up.
Tan Chen and Zhang Wenfu walked aside and asked, "What do you think of this guy's work just now?"
Zhang Wenfu glanced at Li Xiang and gave him a thumbs up.
"Boss, Li Xiang is very calculating. He thought about the things you wanted to buy and arranged the money very reasonably. He never took detours and the things he bought were also affordable."
Tan Chen nodded, and Li Xiang passed the first test.
Everyone had a lively meal together. Tan Chen assigned tomorrow's tasks to Zhang Wenfu and asked everyone to have a good night's rest before officially starting work tomorrow.
When Tan Chen was about to leave, he asked Li Xiang, "Are you going to stay here with everyone or come back tomorrow?" He knew that Li Xiang was from Beijing, so he asked this question.
