Su Le didn't know whether he should help with the cooking. Xu Hu put the groceries on the ground and said, "We haven't bought any groceries yet. It might take a long time."
The four of them looked at each other, and now the vegetable market was closed.
Yan Qingbai came back with seven or eight big men, each of them holding a plate of food.
Xu Hu opened his eyes wide. Is this possible?
Several big men also looked at them with smiles, and placed their dishes on the table. Yan Qingbai smiled and asked them to sit down. "Boss Su, Zichen, come and sit down."
Su Le and his companions sat on the right, and the others sat on the left in order.
The people on the opposite side glanced at each other, and finally looked at Yan Qingbai. Yan Qingbai received the signal and asked Su Le, "I wonder how many people are being recruited over there?"
Several people looked at Su Le in unison again.
Su Le pursed his lips. "The project is quite large, so the more people the better. The construction industry is quite dangerous, so for now we only need some middle-aged people. The young people will be like Boss Yan and guard the store. We are expanding and opening our own branches."
Yan Qingbai nodded in surprise. "Last time I went there, there were about eight or nine shops. Has another building opened now?"
Su Le smiled and said, "That was opened by one of our shareholders. We have decided to merge it with us and open it together."
The other party almost figured it out. One of them smiled and raised his glass to toast Su Le. Li Zichen held Su Le's glass and drank with the other party. "Sorry, my wife can't drink. She's still young."
The man looked at Su Le, who looked quite young indeed, and didn't mind it. He smiled and nodded. "Nothing serious, we're all just being casual."
Su Le was in no hurry. Li Zichen and Xu Hu chatted and drank with them until they were almost full. Yan Qingbai got to the point, "Boss Su, I just asked. They can probably contact about 15 middle-aged people. The young people are their children and relatives, both boys and girls, about 23 or 24 people."
Su Le nodded, "I want to ask, do they all know each other?"
Yan Qingbai shook his head. "No, I don't know him at all. I just met him a while ago."
Xu Hu looked at Su Le's expression, then said to Yan Qingbai, understandingly, "If everyone knew each other, it would be difficult for us to recruit so many people and manage them. Boss Yan should understand this."
Yan Qingbai looked at Xu Hu seriously, "Brother Xu, don't worry, I know."
The man across from him, his face flushed from drinking, said with a smile, "Since Boss Yan already calls me Brother Xu, I'll just call you Brother Yan. Brother Yan, I wonder if I can have an interview with you tomorrow?"
Yan Qingbai laughed heartily, "Of course, I'll be at work tomorrow. Today I'm just getting to know you guys so they can understand the situation."
"That's right, we just want to understand. We also want to ask how the salary is calculated."
"Yeah, how is the salary calculated?"
Xu Hu's mind raced. "It's calculated by the hour. The construction side is more tiring, so we pay about 1.5 yuan an hour. The other stores are apprentices. Once they're trained, they'll be converted to regular employees. Apprentices' wages are all 80 cents an hour."
Su Le watched the people across from him whispering to each other and sneered in his heart, "Really don't know them?"
Xu Hu looked at Yan Qingbai with a smile, and Yan Qingbai's face looked a little ugly.
After finishing the meal, Yan Qingbai walked the people opposite to the door and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that you knew each other?"
"Old Yan, don't you know?"
"I thought it was something good. The salary is too low."
"Old Yan, we didn't hide this from you on purpose."
Yan Qingbai's face turned pale. Aren't these people stabbing him in the back?
Seeing that Yan Qingbai looked unhappy, several people left in embarrassment.
Yan Qingbai saw Li Zichen's half-smile and his face flushed. "Zichen, Boss Su, Brother Xu, I'm so sorry. It's been so long since we last contacted each other. I really didn't know they knew each other."
Xu Hu stepped forward and grabbed Yan Qingbai's arm. "It's nothing serious. We just want to see how you're doing and check your accounts. If your performance isn't good, we'll give you some advice. Now your business is comparable to ours. After we check, we'll go to the next place."
Yan Qingbai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll check the accounts with you tomorrow morning. I'm sorry I couldn't help you this time."
Su Le smiled and said, "Any of the children of our comrades in the store who don't have jobs yet can also do that."
Hearing this, Yan Qingbai lowered his head and thought. "There are only two children who don't have jobs yet, and they are only fifteen years old."
Xu Hu asked, "Can I bring him to the store for an interview in the morning?"
Yan Qingbai nodded emphatically and ran out, leaving Su Le and the others stunned. He also went to the homes of eight people and told them that they would not be interviewing tomorrow. Several of them got angry and started fighting with Yan Qingbai.
Although Yan Qingbai was a soldier, he was no match for eight people and was hit more than a dozen times. The crowd pulled them apart, and several people started to curse at Yan Qingbai.
Yan Qingbai also took it upon himself to make harsh remarks. He was a troublemaker when he was in the army, so how could he be afraid of a few people?
They were all paper tigers, and even after they retired from the army, they still had many brothers. They wouldn't gain anything from a fight. So, this matter could only be dropped.
Yan Qingbai went to the two brothers' homes again and told them about the recruitment. Both brothers nodded.
Yan Qingbai returned home with the good news, "We've already agreed to meet at the store tomorrow morning."
