Chapter 158 Recruiting people to form a new team
Many people arrived one after another throughout the morning, and all the places for the second half of the year were booked. The ladies and ladies who arrived late were struck by lightning.
"No, no spots left? It's only eleven o'clock!" The two ladies who came with her widened their eyes in surprise.
Lin Jianyan apologized, "I'm sorry, a lot of people came this morning, and some were waiting here since midnight yesterday, so the spots will be gone very quickly."
One of them gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it, they are all liars. They appear to be calm and composed on the surface, but they actually run faster than anyone else behind the scenes!"
"Can't you be more flexible?" Another one said unwillingly, "Money is not a problem. You can have as much as you want."
Lin Jianyan shook her head, "Sorry, I really can't."
They wanted to continue to use threats and inducements, but when they remembered that Qin Wu was the backer behind him, they couldn't afford to offend him, so they could only leave with reluctance and disappointment.
Those who came later were all sent away. Those who didn't have a reserved spot watched the people around them show off, and I don't know how many times they got angry when they got home.
There was still half an hour before the end of get off work, so Lin Jianyan asked everyone to go to the office to hold a meeting for them.
"There's nothing wrong with calling everyone here. As you know, Amin is my student. I want to set up a group for her, so I want to ask if there's anyone among you who can make clothes."
The crowd was surprised and talked about it, responding enthusiastically:
"Really? That's great. I have a sister who has been a tailor for more than ten years. Her skills are impeccable, but her family is too poor and she is a little skinny. Boss, if you really want to hire someone, I'll let her try."
"I have a cousin who is also an embroiderer. She is very capable, but she is a latecomer and does not have enough experience. I wonder if you will hire her, boss?"
"My sister-in-law is also..."
Lin Jianyan listened carefully to everyone's recommendations, with a faint smile on his face, and nodded, "Anyone who has a trustworthy candidate can come and apply, but the salary will definitely not be as good as yours. The salary will be taken from the money that customers give to Amin every time he makes a piece of clothing."
"To put it bluntly, if Amin doesn't open for a month, these people won't get paid."
As soon as the words came out, the office suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at each other with some hesitation on their faces.
After all, the boss is the boss, Amin is Amin, and Amin is still a newcomer. It would be too difficult for her to support a team on her own.
Lin Jianyan sighed softly and patiently explained, "I understand that everyone has concerns, but Amin is still in the growth stage, and this group is also to give her more training opportunities. I am not a philanthropist, so I can't pay for it, right?"
"But I believe in Amin's potential. As long as the clothes she makes are of good quality and her reputation is known, she will have no problem finding customers. And once the team develops and the profits are stable, her salary will definitely increase gradually."
"When have I ever let you down while working with me? Amin's team is in a special situation, but in the long run, as long as we get through the initial stage, the prospects will definitely be promising."
Gu Min bit her lower lip with emotion, knowing that the teacher was paving the way for her. "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard."
After hearing what Lin Jianyan said, Aunt Zhang was the first to speak up, "Boss, I have a niece from my mother's family who is very good at cooking. I'll go back to my mother's family tomorrow and let her apply for the job. Amin, you don't have to feel pressured. You don't have to pay her. I'll support her."
"I'm willing to pay for this job even if it means I can learn a lot from you, boss."
The others seemed to have been enlightened by Aunt Zhang and expressed their willingness to let their relatives give it a try.
I felt a little annoyed. They had lived a good life for too long and their minds had become narrow.
Boss, if they are not lucky, they will never be able to set foot in this place in their lifetime. Besides, even if there is a candidate, what can it do? Whether to apply for the job or not is another matter.
Just like what Aunt Zhang said, there are plenty of people who want to work in a place with such a good boss, even if they don't get paid and just want to gain experience.
The boss asked them if there was anyone around them who trusted them, but they were a little confused.
Lin Jianyan saw that they all looked regretful and cautious, and smiled to comfort them, "You are right. No one wants to work for nothing, spend so much time, and end up with no money. No one wants to be happy."
"Then it's settled. You will have a day off tomorrow morning, and the interviews will begin in the afternoon. Each person is only allowed to bring one person. I will conduct a strict inspection, so I hope that the people you bring will be mentally prepared in advance."
Everyone agreed.
After this matter was made clear, Lin Jianyan moved on to the next matter, "There is one more thing I have been thinking about, and I mainly want to ask Aunt Zhang."
Aunt Zhang didn't expect Lin Jianyan to suddenly mention her. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat up straight, "Boss, ask."
Lin Jianyan motioned for her to calm down, "I noticed that you kept rubbing your eyes after three o'clock. Is it because your vision becomes blurry after that time?"
Aunt Zhang was stunned at first, not knowing why Lin Jianyan asked this. Suddenly, she felt a little panicked. "I don't know why, but I can't see clearly when the sun goes down these days. But it's not a problem and it won't affect my work. Boss, please don't fire me."
Zhang Yue beside her was also a little nervous, but she knew that the boss must have his reasons for doing things, and no one could question it. She could only hold Aunt Zhang's hand and look at Lin Jianyan nervously.
Lin Jianyan knew that they had misunderstood, and shook her head helplessly, "I don't want to fire you. You are serious and responsible in your work, and you have good skills. How can I bear to let you go? I just want to ask if you are willing to change jobs."
Aunt Zhang was a little puzzled. She looked at Zhang Yue and asked in confusion, "Change jobs?"
Lin Jianyan nodded. "You are probably suffering from presbyopia, which is inevitable for older people. You are no longer able to concentrate on a task for a long time, so I would like to ask if you are willing to be a mentor and teach these young employees."
Aunt Zhang was stunned at first, as if she didn't understand what was said. Then a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face. "Can I?"
Zhang Yue shook her arm in surprise, "Auntie, of course you can do it! You taught me everything. You can make all kinds of complicated clothes perfectly. You have such good skills, so it's more than enough for you to teach us!"
The people around him also laughed and agreed: "It's appropriate, it's appropriate. We are lucky that you can teach us."
"Yes, look at Ah Yue, at such a young age, his skills are so refined. It's obvious that you taught him well."
Lin Jianyan also said: "Don't refuse it, otherwise you will suffer too much damage to your eyes from such heavy workload every day. Your eyes will be damaged in a few years."
"If you teach them well, you will be their teacher, and your students will be everywhere in the world."
Aunt Zhang's eyes were slightly red, and she was very moved. "Okay, thank you for trusting me. I was worried that I was too old and useless, but I didn't expect to have such an opportunity. I will cherish it and teach these children all my skills. I will never let you down."
