Chapter 397 Finding the Cashier
After the staff from the Capital Daily left, a number of customers came in one after another.
Because there are no limits on the quantity of the two ointments available today, the demand from each person who comes to buy them is quite high.
Jiang Ning originally planned to return to the hospital after the opening ceremony, but because most of the customers bought quite a lot, Huang Xiaodong was getting dizzy from calculating the accounts.
Seeing that he was almost unable to figure out the accounts, Jiang Ning had no choice but to stay and help him.
Dean Kong didn't leave either; he went to discuss medical techniques with Old Master Huang.
Seeing that he was having some trouble with the big accounts, Jiang Ning suggested that he consider hiring a cashier.
“I’ve thought about it,” Huang Xiaodong said, “but finding a trustworthy cashier isn’t easy.”
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Sister Ning, do you know anyone who could help?"
After thinking about it, Jiang Ning agreed.
When looking for a cashier, you must find someone who is steady, reliable, and hardworking.
Jiang Ning wanted to find military dependents in the family compound.
Given his status, his character wouldn't be too bad.
Despite this thought, the military wives each had their own thoughts, and Jiang Ning did not immediately look for anyone after returning to the family compound.
Finally, she thought of someone.
Sister-in-law Li has lived in the family compound longer than her. She doesn't have a job now, so she often interacts with the military families. Social skills are one of her strengths.
Li's ability to navigate among military wives and understand their circumstances and character is truly remarkable.
Actually, her favorite candidate was Sister Li, but Sister Li hadn't received much education and wasn't very good at math. For delicate jobs like cashiering, even the slightest mistake was unacceptable.
That day, Jiang Ning was off work, so she went to visit Sister Li.
Upon hearing this, Sister Li was eager to seize this job opportunity and immediately gave Jiang Ning several names.
These people were military dependents whom she selected based on their decent character and literacy.
Jiang Ning then made a brief observation of these people.
These military dependents are indeed literate, but they are not very good at arithmetic.
The daily turnover of pharmacies is quite substantial now.
On the opening day, she and Huang Xiaodong calculated that, based solely on repeat customers who purchased the two types of ointments without limit, the revenue after deducting costs reached eight hundred.
Sister-in-law Li was stunned when she heard the amount.
Goodness, she earned eight hundred in a day, which is almost a year's salary for her husband, Lao Li.
Because her husband, Lao Li, was still a regimental commander, plus his allowances and other benefits, his annual income was much higher than that of an average family.
My daughter now works in the performing arts troupe, and her monthly salary is not bad.
Therefore, her family lived a very comfortable life.
But this is nowhere near as good as opening a store!
When her daughter helped sell the ointment, it was the first time she had ever realized that doing business could be so profitable.
But after her daughter graduated from university, she made Li Xingyue audition for a performing arts troupe instead of continuing to do that kind of work.
Although the government has issued regulations for individual businesses, she still sees doing business as very dangerous, as no one knows if private businesses will be banned again.
If his daughter affects Lao Li, that would be a big problem.
Li's wife even talked to Jiang Ning about this matter back then.
Jiang Ning expressed her understanding of Sister Li's concerns.
After all, Sister Li didn't know how the country would develop in the future. The era when a single letter of denunciation could lead to someone being demoted had indeed left a deep shadow on many people.
Jiang Ning isn't in a hurry to find a suitable person right now.
After all, there's no use in being anxious. Will being anxious immediately lead to finding the person?
That day, seeing that Jiang Ning was resting at home, Sister-in-law Li invited Jiang Ning to their house.
"Jiang Meizi, I've found you another suitable candidate." As soon as Sister Li saw Jiang Ning, she said, "She's Political Commissar Zhou's wife. She recently came to the military compound with her family. She went to junior high school. Would you like to check her out?"
Sister-in-law Li is a kind person. Knowing that she is not good at arithmetic, she would not insist on taking such a job. She always tries to benefit others.
“Okay, let’s investigate.” Jiang Ning gave Sister Li a knowing look.
Jiang Ning was able to integrate into the lives of these military families thanks to Sister Li, who was an E-type person, guiding her.
When Jiang Ning integrated herself into the lives of these military families, she also brought Lezhi and Nanxing along with her.
After all, to assess Commissar Zhou's wife, we still need these two little ones.
As Lezhi and Nanxing grew older and more beautiful, they also gradually became more popular among military families.
In addition, these two little ones have sweet words, calling everyone "Auntie, Auntie" in a way that melts everyone's heart.
However, the two little ones accompanied their mother out for a stroll, and even brought along a pen and a notebook.
Jiang Ning chatted with the military families, while the two little ones took up pens and scribbled.
Upon seeing this, some of the military dependents exclaimed in surprise, "Dr. Jiang, your two children can write at such a young age?"
“It was Zhiqi who taught them calligraphy,” Jiang Ning said with a smile.
When Zhiqi is mentioned, everyone who knows his identity praises him.
After all, Zhiqi's life has been much better than before since he was adopted by Jiang Ning and Shen Mo.
Just then, Nanxing came over with a notebook. "Mom, how do I calculate this?"
Jiang Ning took the notebook from Nan Xing and started reading it carefully. At that moment, Le Zhi also came over with her own notebook.
"Mom, I don't know how to calculate this either."
"Zhizhi, wait a minute." Jiang Ning said, giving her a look.
Lezhi immediately understood and looked at the military dependent sitting next to Jiang Ning with her notebook, "Auntie, can you do this math problem?"
The military dependents who were asked by Lezhi were taken aback.
Then she smiled and accepted it; she was none other than Political Commissar Zhou's wife, who had just come to accompany him to the army.
When the toddler asked her if she could do math, she immediately accepted the question with great confidence.
She had completed junior high school and could still do simple arithmetic problems.
However, after she took the notebook and glanced at it, she was immediately stunned.
How come it includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division?
Are you sure this little baby isn't just kidding, learning all this?
She looked at it for a while, and finally, with great self-awareness, handed it to Jiang Ning.
"Dr. Jiang, are you going to teach the children such difficult problems right now?"
"I didn't teach them, their older brother did," Jiang Ning said, shifting the blame onto Zhiqi.
Lezhi and Nanxing are too young to do these kinds of questions.
The whole thing today was just to see how good Political Commissar Zhou's wife is at arithmetic.
After all, she couldn't very well invite people to her home to test them. There was only one job like this, and if word got out, everyone would rush to try it out, which would only take even longer.
That's why Sister Li helped to find out first, and then she assessed the other party's abilities.
For over a decade when reading was prohibited, many people lost the opportunity to study.
Finding a suitable cashier seems to be no easy task.
Just then, Sister Li suddenly saw someone walking in the distance and called out, "Xingyue, you're back?"
Li Xingyue approached, her head lowered so her expression couldn't be seen.
She said to Sister Li, "Mom, I'm a little tired, I'm going home now."
Sister-in-law Li usually dotes on this daughter very much. She can sense when something is wrong with her daughter. After saying goodbye to the military families, she chased after her daughter.
Without Li's wife around, Jiang Ning led the two little ones towards her own yard.
