Ma Dapao seemed even more nervous about the opening than Su Tao:
"Boss, not many people know about our Panliu Mountain now. I don't think many people will come during the opening days. Do you want me to go to the old station to attract customers or something?"
Su Tao didn't care: "Don't worry, take your time. It's not good to be too conspicuous in front. Also, tell others that we are the Taoyang Panliu Mountain Supply Station. You haven't been to Taoyang yet, right? I'll take you to meet the friends who work in Taoyang tonight."
Ma Dapao only knew that Taoyang was his boss's territory in Dongyang, and it seemed to have the same good conditions as Panliu Mountain, but he didn't know anything else.
When he heard that he was going to meet other colleagues, he was a little shy and started thinking about whether he should buy new clothes and style his hair.
But then I thought about the fact that I would have to travel for a week to get to Dongyang, and even if I had styled my hair, it would be messy by the time I got there.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the boss say:
"Da Pao, as you know, I'm not always here at Pan Liu, so we need someone to manage it. I've noticed you're really responsible these days, so I'll leave it to you to manage. Is that okay?"
Ma Dapao opened his eyes wide, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
Su Tao teased him intentionally: "Not happy? Then please help me find a capable manager outside——"
"I'm willing! My big boss, I'm so happy. I, Ma Dapao, have no merit or ability, but with your trust, I will be buried on this mountain even after I die."
Su Tao smiled and said, "You have to live well for me. When business slowly picks up, you will be busy. I will give you two options for salary. The first one includes accommodation, which is 6,000 per month for a double room. Later, other employees may live with you."
"Second, excluding accommodation, the monthly fee is 12,000 federal dollars. Just like the first option, three meals are included, and there is an additional high temperature allowance."
Ma Dapao's heart was pounding. Whether it was the first or the second benefit, it was simply too good to be true.
He used to solicit customers at the old station, but his monthly salary was only 6,000 yuan without food and accommodation. The rest of his income had to come from commissions from customers, otherwise he could not even make a living.
His mind was full of one word: everyone will rise to prominence, and he just kept saying good things:
"I, I choose the second option, Boss Su. I'm Ma Dapao, an orphan. I don't want to get married and have children in this life, so I don't have to worry about family. Living in a warehouse or a utility room doesn't matter to me. As long as I have a place to stay, it's fine. Besides, I know all the conditions of our double room. Okay, I'm taking advantage of the second option."
Su Tao laughed at him: "You must have ripped off many customers with your mouth."
Ma Dapao touched his head embarrassedly: "Life forces me."
There were indeed not many people on the first day of opening. There were only three people staying in the hotel officially. This was because there were no rooms available at the old station. They happened to see the sign saying "Open" at Panliu Mountain when they passed by, so they came in to stay tentatively.
Master Qin, who had been idle for most of the day, saw a guest coming and hurried over to ask Su Tao:
"Boss, I've been idle for most of the day and haven't done anything. I'm so anxious. Although the kitchen is fully equipped with appliances and tableware, it has no ingredients. I just saw the guests coming and I'm afraid they will order some food."
Su Tao comforted him: "Don't worry, just treat it as a few days of paid vacation. When the ingredients arrive, you can post the menu. If someone comes to order food, you can ask them to buy lunch from the vending machine."
This reminded her that she had to find time to bring some vegetables grown in Taoyang, and then go to the farm in Dongyang to buy some meat.
Master Qin went back in fear and trepidation, and wiped the tableware and stove in the kitchen again. Since he had nothing to do, he went to compete with the cleaning lady for work.
After that, more than a dozen people came, but most of them had heard the news before and came to look for work. Among them, a few looked familiar. They were the men who came to the garage with Ma Dapao to deal with the corpses a while ago.
Seeing them coming, Ma Dapao felt helpless and turned to Su Tao and said:
"Boss, why don't you go up first? They're probably here to settle accounts with me."
Su Tao asked: "Did you offend them?"
Ma Dapao said, "Hey, weren't we looking for two strong gatekeepers a while ago? These guys have some connections with me, so they came to me right away. I thought they weren't the kind of people who would be willing to guard the gate, so I pretended to be gone. They probably heard that Panliu Mountain had opened, so they came to ask for my explanation."
Su Tao recalled and jokingly said, "Why are you so fickle? You praised the four of them before, saying that one of them could repair cars, two could read, and one had superpowers."
Ma Dapao really admires her memory:
"Oh my, my big boss, I didn't know your recruitment requirements before. I thought just some skills would be enough. But if it comes to character, these four are really not up to par."
Ma Dapao pointed at an unkempt man in the surveillance video and said:
"This guy's name is Xiong Tai. He has a special ability, a rare one among space-related special abilities. It's an aggressive one. I remember it was called 'Cage'. I've seen him fighting with someone. With a thought, the air around him ripples twice, and the person opposite him is like being entangled by an invisible rope, unable to move, and then he pins them down and beats them."
Ma Dapao looked envious:
"This ability is quite powerful, right? If he joined a mercenary team, he would definitely be a core member. He could use his ability to trap zombies when he encountered them, which would reduce the casualties of the entire team. But he didn't go. He was really broke and had no food to eat, so he came out to take on tasks that ordinary people could do, such as helping you move corpses."
"That's not all, he even sold his newborn daughter to buy alcohol. Sometimes when he's broke, he steals from passing caravans. He's lazy and loves to profiteer. How could I dare hire someone like him?"
Su Tao thought that this was an example of God giving food but spitting it out if one didn't appreciate it.
With this special ability, you only need to work hard a little bit to live a comfortable life that ordinary people in the end times can't even dream of.
She couldn't help but feel envious. People were indeed different. She longed for the stars and the moon but had no superpowers, while some people had superpowers but didn't take them seriously.
Ma Dapao sighed and said, "The other three are similar. They have some skills but they are not the kind of people who work hard. Boss, you go up quickly. I'll go out and meet them."
Su Tao warned: "Don't leave Panliu Mountain. If they beat you up, I won't be able to stop you."
Then he called the two guards in the duty room:
"Lao Zhu, Lao Qi, you two should go with Da Pao. Also, did you remember everything I said last night?"
The two burly men nodded and repeated:
"Fighting is not allowed in Panliu Mountain. Damage to public property is not allowed. No one is allowed to enter rooms in non-public areas without permission. If anyone disobeys, I will report them directly to you for handling."
If you report her, you will be kicked out of Panliu Mountain in the second and put on the blacklist.
Ma Dapao waved his hand: "There won't be a fight. I'll go and talk to him properly."
Sure enough, in less than 20 minutes, Xiong Tai really took his people away without any quarrel or conflict.
Tajima Dapao came back, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said speechlessly:
"I told him the boss wanted someone who was hardworking and diligent, and his profile didn't fit the bill. I swear I was sincere, but he misunderstood and thought I didn't want him because I didn't give him a gift, and then he went back to get a gift."
