Chapter 407 Work Hard
Although everyone was making fun of Gu Xizhou, in the next few days everyone started to get busy preparing for the wedding of Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi.
Fortunately, the policy has not been so strict in recent years. Although the people in Baihua Lane were a little surprised by the scene when a few people decorated the Su family's old house, most of them were very envious. Some people who were good at dealing with things were even very enthusiastic to help them.
Not to mention Su Nanzhi's abilities, Gu Xizhou is still serving in the army. They are both still young and will definitely have great fortunes in the future. It's also good for them to establish a good relationship now.
Gu Xizhou was not a native of Zhoushan County, so Su Nanzhi chose to marry into the Xue family at the Xue family's invitation.
Although it was her own wedding, Su Nanzhi became the most idle person. Every time she wanted to lend a hand, she would be sent away by everyone with various reasons. In the end, she simply became a hands-off boss.
However, although she didn't have to worry about the wedding, Su Nanzhi was not idle. The day after returning to Zhoushan County, she contacted Su Chun.
During this period, Su Chun finally persuaded his parents to let him drop out of school and work with Su Nanzhi, but Su Nanzhi went to the provincial capital, and he finally understood what it meant to live every day like a year.
Just when he was thinking about going to the provincial capital to find Su Nanzhi, Su Nanzhi finally returned to the provincial capital.
Although Su Nanzhi felt that Su Chun had some business acumen, it was impossible to say that she was very satisfied with him.
At least after hearing people in the college entrance examination cram school say that Su Chun used tricks to frame her for providing the free test book as wrong in order to sell it, she began to question Su Chun as a person.
As a businessman, it is understandable to use some means to increase sales of your products, but you cannot use such despicable means.
Such despicable tactics may achieve short-term success, but in the long run they will simply destroy one's own credibility.
However, Su Nanzhi did not "sentence" Su Chun just like that.
When Su Chun heard Su Nanzhi ask her about this, she was stunned at first, then immediately showed an expression of shame on her face. She lowered her head and said, "Comrade Su, I was wrong about this."
"You can get whatever compensation you want."
Seeing this, Su Nanzhi raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you going to explain?"
Su Chun shook his head and said, "I agreed to it at the beginning."
A gleam of light flashed in Su Nanzhi's eyes. It seemed that the third place winner was the one who was in charge of this matter.
Although Su Chun also agreed, he was not hopeless. At least he still felt ashamed.
Moreover, she learned from the students in the college entrance examination sprint class that morning that Su Chun had rushed to the stage during the principal's speech on the day after she went to the provincial capital to explain and apologize to the students in the school about the incident.
This behavior was too unorthodox, and coupled with the fact that Su Chun had previously sold books privately at school, he was persuaded to withdraw by the principal.
As for the third place winner who had been hiding at the back, he also had no good luck and was persuaded to drop out by the principal. The college entrance examination was approaching, and no school would accept him, an older repeater who had been persuaded to drop out. He would not be able to catch up with this year's college entrance examination.
Su Chun bowed deeply to Su Nanzhi again, then turned around and left with heavy steps.
It didn't matter that he was expelled from school. He didn't want to go to school anyway. He just wanted to find a job as soon as possible to support his family.
Seeing that Su Chun turned and left without explaining to her, Su Nanzhi felt helpless and called out to him when he was about to step out of the door.
"Su Chun, I can give you a chance, but..."
Su Chun paused and looked at Su Nanzhi in surprise.
"Comrade Su, I will definitely work hard and will not let you down..."
Su Nanzhi waved her hand to interrupt him, "I don't want to hear your promises, I just want to see results. I can let you follow me, but you can't use unethical means anymore."
At this point, her expression froze, "Otherwise I wouldn't let you go as easily as I did this time. You definitely don't want to know what it's like to be my enemy."
Su Chun shuddered. Although Su Nanzhi spoke softly, he had no doubt about the truthfulness of her words.
Before he stole and sold Su Nanzhi's items, he didn't know much about her. But after that, he heard many people talk about the great things Su Nanzhi had done. However, at that time, he was already in a difficult situation and could only bite the bullet and continue to steal and sell them secretly. When he was finally caught by Su Nanzhi, he felt relieved for some reason.
It is naturally better to be friends with Su Nanzhi than to be his enemy. After all, Su Nanzhi's enemies are now either arrested or have ended up in jail. The endings of Ji Jun and him can even be considered good.
"Sister Su, from now on, if you let me go north, I won't go west."
Su Chun immediately made a promise.
Su Nanzhi didn't say anything. No matter how nice the words were, it was better to prove them with actions.
Although Su Nanzhi said that she wanted Su Chun to work with her, after all, the current policy does not support individual business owners starting their own businesses.
Considering that Su Chun would need to travel around for work in the future, Su Nanzhi assigned Su Chun's work to a publishing house in the provincial capital.
Jobs in publishing houses are highly sought after, so naturally, no one would give Su Nanzhi a job just because she published a book in a publishing house.
However, if Su Nanzhi only wants a nominal job that does not require salary and can generate income for the publishing house, that is another matter.
Su Chun didn't expect that he would get a formal job right after being expelled from school, and it was in the provincial capital, although this job was only temporary.
"I'll pay you your salary, which consists of a base salary plus commission." Seeing Su Chun's excitement, Su Nanzhi poured cold water on him. "The base salary is 10 yuan a month. If you don't have any performance within two months, it means you're not suitable for this job."
He was still smiling when he heard that his monthly salary was 10 yuan, but the next second he heard that he would be fired if he didn't perform well in two months. The smile on Su Chun's face froze instantly.
But on second thought, the basic salary given by Su Nanzhi was not low. After all, his second brother only earned a dozen yuan a month as an apprentice in a fertilizer factory, and he had to work night shifts from time to time.
If there is no performance after two months, he would feel embarrassed even if Su Nanzhi is willing to let him continue working.
After figuring this out, Su Chun also solemnly promised: "Sister Su, I will work hard and will not let you down."
But he thought of something and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"Sister Su, I help the publishing house sell books, shouldn't the publishing house pay me a salary?"
Su Nanzhi didn't want to hide it from Su Chun, so she told him the profit-sharing contract between herself and the publishing house. Of course, she didn't specify the proportion of the profit.
Su Chun seemed to understand, but his doubts deepened.
"Sister Su, you pay me a salary and ask me to promote your book. Even if I succeed, before the country reforms writers' salaries, no matter how much we sell, the publishing house won't pay you, right?"
In his opinion, Su Nanzhi asking him to sell the title books was simply working for the publishing house for free.
Su Nanzhi didn't answer his question, but patted his shoulder and said, "Just focus on selling the question books, and don't worry about the rest."
"You'll understand later."
Su Chun felt like he was being tickled by a cat and wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that Su Nanzhi didn't want to answer him, he could only nod obediently.
Anyway, when he sells the book, Su Nanzhi will just pay him a salary.
