Chapter 350 Recruitment
The rain continued until late at night, and the next day it was sunny again.
Wen Wan had classes in the morning, so she got up very early. She didn't make breakfast by herself and went straight to school.
Under the influence of reform and opening up, people who are a little more sensitive and courageous have begun to show their talents.
In the alley not far from Huada, many doors have opened up, becoming shops. Many small shops have popped up one after another like mushrooms after rain.
Among them, there are the most snack bars.
After all, food is the most important thing for people. With so many students at Hua University, their consumption is enormous.
Wen Wan ordered a tray of buns, which were not big, just six.
This bun shop is very popular because they provide free white porridge.
Although it is a very thin white porridge, as long as you order a basket of buns here, you can drink it for free until you are full.
Wen Wan had arrived early enough, but the place was still crowded. The three connected rooms were filled with students and workers going to work, and there were even two tables set up outside.
I have to say, this boss really has a good business sense.
It was still early after dinner, so Wen Wan walked back and forth in the alley. When she exited the alley, she found the clothing store they were about to open just off to the side.
The door was not open when Wen Wan came over, but it was already open after she had breakfast.
The workers hadn't arrived yet, and Lu Donglin was alone inside, hammering away at the work, working very hard.
Wen Wan stood at the door and called out to him, "Donglin!"
Lu Donglin stopped what he was doing when he heard the voice and stood on the ladder to greet her: "Good morning, sister-in-law!"
"Early morning to you too! Starting so early? Have you eaten yet?"
Lu Donglin said, "I'm not used to eating too early, let's work for a while before going."
Wen Wan came in and took a look: "It's done quite quickly." It's different every day.
Lu Donglin came down from the ladder. "Of course it will be soon. I've been watching them the whole time, from morning till night. They won't be lazy. It will take another three to five days to be completely finished. Once the sign outside is made and hung up, it will be completely finished."
The name used here is no longer Ai Shang, and the store has been renamed "Yizhijia".
Lu Donglin asked Wen Wan: "Should I be able to catch up with my brother?"
Wen Wan said, "Don't worry, it's still early for your brother to come back! He's only been gone for a week, maybe he hasn't even arrived yet. He won't be back until the end of the month."
Lu Donglin sighed: "My sister is getting engaged on May Day. Will he be able to make it? If he leaves, you will have to worry about everything."
Wen Wan chuckled softly, "It's just an engagement, why should I worry about it? Your sister and Zhou Mingli need to discuss this matter together, and it's Zhou Mingli's responsibility to worry about it. We can just go there early."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and asked Lu Donglin: "Do you want to send a letter home?"
Lu Donglin said, "Go ahead! I'll go back and write it and send it back."
Wen Wan nodded and reminded him, "There's no rush here, but don't delay for the midnight class. I need to check your homework later."
Lu Donglin couldn't laugh anymore and scratched his head to hide his laughter: "I know."
When it comes to studying, he can only say that he has tried his best, but that is not his ambition!
Wen Wan gave some more instructions before going to school.
When Li Lai Yu arrived, she was already sitting in the classroom and had reserved a seat for him.
The two of them often sat together in class and had developed a good understanding of each other. Whenever the seat next to Wen Wan was empty, Li Lai Yu knew it was for her.
The teacher hasn't entered the classroom yet.
She walked over to Wen Wan and sat down. Wen Wan turned to her and smiled faintly: "Here you are!"
As he spoke, he tilted his head and leaned slightly towards her, and asked Li Laiyu in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did my seventh brother come to pick you up from school?"
Li Laiyu nodded and said "hmm".
Wen Wan smiled: "Quite good at it." This is probably a man's talent. When he meets a girl he likes, he has endless ways to show his courtesy.
Li Laiyu looked at her smiling eyes and reached out to lift his hair which was hanging on his shoulders feeling a little uncomfortable.
"I, actually, I'm still not used to being so close to him."
Wen Wan said, "This is normal! Didn't you just confirm your relationship?"
"Is my Seventh Brother still pursuing you? Or have you already agreed to be with her?"
Hearing her question, Li Laiyu remembered what Xu Qingming asked yesterday and smiled faintly: "We are getting along." If it was just pursuit, they shouldn't be so intimate.
They hugged and kissed.
"I thought about it and decided to give it a try. If I don't try, I won't know whether it's better to live alone or with someone for the rest of my life."
Wen Wan was extremely happy: "That must be two people! Two people who truly love each other together is definitely better than one person living alone for the rest of their lives. Of course, the premise is that he likes you and you like him, and this love never changes and grows deeper and deeper."
"I can't say anything else, but my Seventh Brother is someone who won't be easily moved. If he is moved, it will be for life. He's a stubborn person."
Li Lai Yu was about to say something else when the teacher entered the classroom.
After the two compulsory courses, Li Lai Yu had no classes, but Wen Wan had an elective course.
As soon as I walked out of the classroom, I saw Xu Qingming waiting under a tree not far away with his hands in his pockets.
Wen Wan glanced at Li Laiyu, who was a step behind, and ran towards him, shouting, "Seventh Brother, aren't you here to wait for me today?"
Xu Qingming was in a particularly good mood, with a smile on his face: "You still have classes, let's go eat together after school."
Wen Wan said, "I won't bother you anymore. You can bring the rain and eat it. You don't have to wait for me. Brother Qi, you have to cheer up. I want to call my sister-in-law as soon as possible."
Li Laiyu was a step too late. Standing behind her, he heard everything she said clearly. When he met Xu Qingming's smiling eyes, heat suddenly rushed to his forehead, and his palm-sized face turned red instantly.
Wen Wan asked Xu Qingming: "By the way, let me tell you, Chun'e and Zhou Mingli are getting engaged on May Day. Do you want to go?"
"Of course I have to go!" Both Lu Chun'e and Zhou Mingli have a good relationship with him. How could he not go to such a big event as an engagement?
Wen Wan made a cheering gesture, waved to Li Lai Yu, and then ran away with the book in his arms.
The store was almost cleaned up before Lu Dongping came back. Wen Wan wrote a job recruitment notice and posted it on the wall.
It was written in black and white: Recruiting salesperson, junior high school education, cheerful personality, hard-working, 18 to 30 years old, base salary plus commission negotiable.
Lu Donglin stared at it for a long time and couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, are there cultural and age restrictions for selling clothes?"
Wen Wan said, "What do you think? If you don't study hard, no one will want you to work."
"To do business, at the very least, you need to be polite, know the ways of the world, be flexible, be able to calculate, and dress appropriately. How can just anyone do this? If you don't learn these things, how can you be born knowing them?"
"Has Ai Shang recruited any workers?"
Wen Wan shook her head: "None of the people who came here are suitable." We can't be in a hurry to recruit people. After all, it's a matter of making money, not a trivial matter.
"I want to find a girl who's good-natured and clever, so she's easier to get along with. It's better to avoid someone who won't learn something even after repeated attempts, and who's rigid and inflexible."
After that, he said to Lu Donglin, "If anyone is interested in coming to work, please make an appointment for her and bring her to Ai Shang to see me after 6pm. I have to see it in person."
"I need to go to the department store sometime. After I get the clothes racks made and ordered, I'll also need hangers and an iron. I'll also buy one for each."
Lu Donglin was afraid that he would not be able to remember it, so he took out a piece of paper and a pen from his trouser pocket and wrote it down quickly.
Wen Wan took a look and said: "You still carry paper and pen with you!"
Lu Donglin talked to her as he wrote, "Of course. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. It's always right to write it down. You'll be busy all day and you might forget something. It will be troublesome when you need it."
Things are becoming more and more cautious.
Wen Wan nodded: "Okay, I'll go first. We can't keep the door closed all the time. We have to open it when we have time. I still have two orders to finish."
Lu Donglin waved his hand at her: "Just do your thing! I'll be watching over here, I'm sure nothing will get delayed."
Wen Wan returned to Ai Shang, and before she got there, she saw two people standing at the door from a distance.
One of them was an older man she knew, and he had been to the store several times. He had bought clothes twice himself and had brought others in. He was a very enthusiastic and talkative person.
As soon as she arrived, the other party greeted her warmly: "Boss Wen is back!"
Wen Wan smiled and said, "I'm back!" She opened the door swiftly, "What do you need today? Come in and take a look. We have new clothes coming out recently."
After saying that, he looked at the two people calmly.
The older one was no more than 40 years old, with the most popular curly hair, and was wearing a moon-white work suit.
The girl with her was unfamiliar. She was pretty, with two pigtails hanging down in front of her. She looked quite quiet and not very old. Judging from her face, she looked about sixteen or seventeen.
The older one smiled and said, "I'm not here to buy clothes today. I saw a job posting on your door. My niece doesn't go to school anymore, so I brought her over to you to see if she can do it."
Wen Wan nodded and asked them to sit down, but the two did not move.
Wen Wan asked, "Have you ever been to school?"
The woman gently tugged at the little girl, who smiled shyly at her and said, "I've read it."
"Have you graduated from junior high school?"
The little girl was about to shake her head, but the woman pulled her aside and answered for her: "I graduated last year. I just barely made it to high school, and I have nothing to do at home."
"I'm not trying to brag about my niece, but she can do everything at home and is very hardworking. You can do whatever you want with her. She learns things quickly and has a sharp eye."
Wen Wan glanced at her with a half-smile, her eyes falling on the little girl. She seemed to be a well-behaved girl indeed.
"My work isn't heavy, but there are a lot of odd jobs. I can't be in the store most of the day, so she not only has to look after the store, but also has to do other things."
"So, after she came here, I had to guide her and teach her a lot of things. I couldn't just do it for three or two months and then quit."
"If you come here, you have to sign a contract. The salary is 20 yuan a month. If you sell a piece of clothing yourself, you get a commission. Your salary will be withheld for one month. If you quit during the contract period, you will have one month's salary deducted."
"It's all written in the contract. I'll give you a brief overview. You can eat at my place, and if you have nowhere to stay far from home, you can stay here."
"If that's okay, let's sit down and I'll show you the contract."
The woman obviously didn't expect that a place selling clothes would have so many rules.
Not only did I have to sign a contract, but I also had to take a pay cut. My passionate heart was instantly cooled down like a bucket of cold water.
"Oh, I see. Then I have to go back and discuss this with her uncle."
The little girl was unwilling and called out to her, "Aunt, I want to give it a try."
The woman's face was a little embarrassed, and she scolded in a low voice: "Why are you disobedient, child? You need to discuss this matter with your uncle. Can you sign a contract casually?"
The little girl said, "I just took a look, I didn't say I had to sign it."
Wen Wan's smile remained unchanged, and her voice was still soft: "Don't worry, we can go back and discuss it. You can come back when you think it's appropriate. I'm not hiring anyone here, I have a store opening somewhere else, so if you're not here, you can be there. It's fine in the next two days."
"But it won't work if it's too late. We only recruit a few people, and there are still a lot of people asking."
