Yan Qingqing and Li Sanniu entered the workshop together.
Yan Qingqing went directly to Li Xiang'an's private office.
This office originally belonged to Yan Qingqing, but later, when Li Xiang'an took over the management of the workshop, Yan Qingqing gave the office to him.
Yan Qingqing opened the office door and saw the familiar surroundings, feeling a sense of warmth.
She decorated this office herself. Instead of ordinary tables and chairs, it was furnished with modern sofas, which Yan Qingqing had Wang Dagang specially order.
Yan Qingqing hadn't been there long when A-Da came in with several completed resumes and handed them to her.
Then he said, "Madam, Third Master and I think these people are quite good."
They were not only literate, but also highly experienced.
They all came because of the reputation of our Canghe Li Ji restaurant.
Yan Qingqing smiled upon hearing this. Regardless of what these people were after, they only needed to have real skills.
Yan Qingqing glanced at their resumes briefly and said, "In that case, let them come in one by one and have a chat."
These men were all outsiders, so naturally, the master had to keep watch over Yan Qingqing to prevent gossip and damage his wife's reputation.
Ah Da has been with Yan Qingqing for so long, so Yan Qingqing is aware of Ah Da's little thoughts.
He's not old, but his thinking is very old-fashioned. But since I treat him like a son, I might as well let him stay by my side.
Yan Qingqing was busy all day, with a constant stream of people coming for interviews.
He even suspected that Li Sanniu hadn't done any screening at all, and was just pushing all the interviewees in front of her.
After finally finishing her work, Yan Qingqing angrily said to A'da, "Go and call your Third Master over."
Soon Li San Niu followed Ah Da in.
He was all smiles, but when he saw Yan Qingqing's exhausted face, he was startled and carefully asked, "Second Sister-in-law, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Yan Qingqing waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, and then said, "Third brother, I asked you to oversee whether there are any suitable management talents for our workshop and shops."
Did you pass every single person who came for an interview?
Ah Da chimed in, "Yes, Third Master, this must be tiring for Madam."
Besides, given Madam's current status, she's not someone anyone can just see whenever they want.
Li Sanniu scratched his head and said, "No, I checked them too. I didn't take any of those who couldn't write or couldn't even recognize all the characters."
I also didn't choose those who were obviously unreliable or whose character I felt was questionable.
Second sister-in-law, you can't blame me. There were just too many people applying for the job.
I never realized that Chengyang County had so many talented people.
Yan Qingqing was speechless upon hearing this; were there really so many people coming for interviews?
However, you can tell from their resumes that a large portion of them are currently employed.
Wouldn't her recruitment drive offend all the shop owners, big and small, in Chengyang County?
But there was nothing she could do. A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and her workshop was short-staffed, so she offered good pay.
Yan Qingqing picked out a portion of the resumes from the stack and handed them to Li Sanniu, saying, "These people all seem pretty good to me. You can compile a list and post a notice at the entrance of the workshop."
Seeing the thick stack of papers in Yan Qingqing's hand, Li Sanniu asked, "Second Sister-in-law, do we really need so many people?"
Yan Qingqing laughed and said, "This is a two-way test. We've taken a liking to them, but they might not be willing to come to our workshop."
Upon hearing this, Li Sanniu retorted, "Second sister-in-law, you must be joking. Our family offers such good treatment, only a fool wouldn't want to come."
Indeed, the conditions offered by Yan Qingqing were very generous.
For example, the shopkeeper's annual salary, excluding various benefits, is 120 taels.
If you can accept living away from home for an extended period, room and board will be provided, and with bonuses and dividends, your annual income will be around 200 taels.
Perhaps in large cities like the prefectural capital or the capital, more capable shopkeepers might receive similar treatment.
However, such treatment is almost non-existent in Chengyang County.
Yan Qingqing glanced at Li Sanniu and replied, "Don't forget, our terms are also very strict."
Anyone who joins our Canghe Liji business and leaks our core secrets will be subject to tenfold compensation.
In addition, everyone who works at Canghe Liji is required to sign a labor agreement.
The contract term is at least five years. Within one year of leaving Canghe Liji, you cannot engage in the same industry, nor can you use our family's secret recipe to run your own business, unless you have our special permission.
Otherwise, the compensation will still be ten times the amount.
Once they sign this agreement, we'll register it with the authorities.
After listening and thinking about it carefully, Li Sanniu realized that it made sense.
As long as you wholeheartedly work for their family, even if you don't become rich, you'll definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
Those who harbor ill intentions should carefully consider whether they have enough money to pay compensation.
Soon, Li Sanniu posted the list of successful applicants at the workshop entrance, briefly explained the workshop's requirements, and then cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to participate in the recruitment of Canghe Li Ji."
I know that you are all very talented people, but some of you are indeed not suitable for our workshop.
So please don't be discouraged if you didn't pass the test. We can work together again in the future if there's an opportunity.
Of course, those of you who have been selected should also seriously consider whether you can accept the conditions I just mentioned.
If you can accept this, we can sign that agreement within three days.
Li San Niu forgot his lines as he was speaking, and then looked at A Da for help.
Ah Xiao whispered a reminder: "Employment contract."
Li Sanniu had tried his best to memorize the new words Yan Qingqing had told him. However, he would still forget the words when he tried to say them.
Thankfully, Ah Da reminded him, so he quickly said, "We'll sign a labor contract within three days. We won't wait until then."
As soon as Li Sanniu finished speaking, various reactions emerged from the crowd.
Some were disappointed because they weren't selected, some were immediately asked to sign a labor contract after being selected, and some were selected but hesitated because of the strict requirements.
Li San Niu ignored their reactions and went straight back to the workshop. His second sister-in-law had said that everyone has their own ambitions, and it was up to them to make their own choices.
Seeing this, Ah Da stepped forward and said, "If you have made up your minds, you can come in with me. If you haven't, go home and think about it some more. Although our workshop is constantly expanding, these positions are limited, and our young master will also recruit some people in the prefectural city."
Ah Da's meaning was clear: this opportunity would be gone forever.
Sure enough, as soon as Ah Da finished speaking, several people wanted to follow him to sign labor contracts.
Upon hearing this, Ah Da beamed and invited the person into the workshop.
