Since he failed to catch the Vampire Duke and failed to kill her, Ye Zhou no longer focused his energy on this matter.
Sarah didn't seem to feel regretful about this, but Ye Zhou didn't ask any further questions. Perhaps even vampires still have the instinct of mother and daughter, even if the mother didn't seem to treat her daughter as her own child.
However, Ye Zhou discovered that Sarah began to "take care" of Zou Ming. Perhaps because she knew that it was her responsibility for Zou Ming's injury, Sarah, who had been critical of Zou Ming before, quickly corrected her attitude and rushed to change Zou Ming's dressing.
Every time this happened, Zou Ming would just turn around and leave - it seemed that his disgust for Sarah had reached a new level.
Only occasionally, very occasionally, Ye Zhou felt that Zou Ming might not hate Sarah that much, or his dislike was only at the level of not wanting to deal with Sarah, and had not yet reached the level of disgust.
Ye Zhou felt that his previous observations might have been completely wrong.
The relationship between Sarah and Zou Ming has never been good, even the previous Sarah.
But Ye Zhou didn’t quite understand the first point, that is, Zou Ming and Sarah actually had no conflict of interest. He had never seen them quarrel, and they even rarely communicated, but their relationship was very bad.
Maybe they really are incompatible. They hate each other as soon as they see each other.
In this regard, Ye Zhou could only sigh helplessly. He could not think of any way to ease the relationship between them.
Just don't fight or quarrel.
Ye Zhou would sometimes go to see Zou Ming and show concern for him, but only when there were many people around.
At night he did not go back to the staff dormitory to sleep, but stayed in the lounge.
Sarah now sleeps with Cao'er in Zou Ming's previous room. Some time ago, Ye Zhou shared a bed with Zou Ming.
Ever since he discovered that Zou Ming might have some feelings for him that went beyond friendship, Ye Zhou began to avoid him.
You can hide, but you can't hide completely.
After all, Zou Ming's injury was related to him. It was he who asked Zou Ming to take Sarah to find the Duke. Even if this was a normal transaction relationship between the employer and the bodyguard, the employer could ask the bodyguard to perform the task. Of course, the bodyguard could also refuse, and then go through the termination procedure.
But based on humanitarianism, Ye Zhou couldn't really feel at ease thinking that he was not responsible for Zou Ming's injury.
Then a strange scene appeared. In the last second, Ye Zhou was still concerned about Zou Ming's injuries, and in the next second, Ye Zhou hid out of the room.
The employees in the supermarket all noticed that something was wrong with Ye Zhou, but no one dared to ask. They could only watch as this strange situation escalated.
Ye Zhou also spent more energy and time on running the supermarket.
The new temporary workers all worked very hard, but after observing for only two days, Ye Zhou began to frown.
Although they are temporary workers, there is a very clear hierarchical relationship between them. The boss is probably "elected" by their internal staff. He is a young man under 20 years old, but he is the tallest and strongest.
The temporary workers do not eat with them. This is their own request. They go off work at a fixed time and do not eat much. Instead, they pack up the food and take it home.
In this way, they cannot eat enough, but they dare not steal things from the supermarket, so they take food from other people's bowls.
At the bottom were the two girls, who were forced to give half of their already packed meals to others.
The food was "tributed" layer by layer, and the eldest one ate the most. Not only did he get a full portion of the meal, but he could also pack up his own portion and take it home.
They had only been working for less than a week, and except for the boss and the follower beside him, everyone else had become thin due to hunger.
He seemed a little listless while working, and his relatively healthy complexion turned sallow.
Originally, Ye Zhou didn't intend to get involved. After all, he was not a local, and although they were from different villages, they were inevitably related. Anything that had anything to do with relatives would definitely be a mess.
As the boss, Ye Zhou can turn a blind eye as long as they don't delay their work.
Anyway, he didn't plan to recruit these people as formal employees.
Nowadays, hiring temporary workers in every place is less troublesome than recruiting regular employees.
It’s just that the internal hierarchy among temporary workers has affected their daily work.
Perhaps they realized that Ye Zhou didn't care about them, and the "boss"'s bullying was no longer limited to meals, but also appeared at work.
Now a temporary worker follows a regular worker and helps the regular worker.
But when it got busy, there was a situation where one temporary worker was running two sections, while the temporary worker originally in charge of that section was slacking off - only serving one or two customers, and standing aside while customers were selecting products.
"Just fire them." Ye Zhou rubbed his temples with a headache, "I don't want to waste time educating them on ideology and morality."
Moreover, they are already adults. It is probably useless to carry out moral education now because there is not enough time. Education in a short period of time cannot change deep-rooted ideas.
In particular, they are not ashamed of bullying their peers, but are proud of it. The "boss" among the temporary workers has never concealed his actions. On the contrary, he will show off his leadership in front of young female regular employees.
Cao'er and Feng Ling had both been harassed by him, and both were very annoyed. However, since the other party did not attack them directly, they were not able to react to Ye Zhou.
Feng Ling was also quite resentful of the temporary worker "boss". After hearing what Ye Zhou said, she immediately spoke up: "There is another person from the same village as him, but those two lackeys are not from the same village as him."
"The guy from the same village as him works very hard." Feng Ling sighed.
Ye Zhou put his hand down, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I'm looking for a temporary worker, not a palace fighting expert. His laziness is a small matter, but it's a big deal if he spoils the atmosphere in the supermarket."
"Quit it." Ye Zhou looked at Feng Ling, "And those two girls, go say hello to them too."
Feng Ling sighed.
Those two girls were like quails, they just buried their heads in their work and didn't dare to say anything when they were bullied.
It makes people feel pitiful and angry.
They dared not resist or complain and could only accept it.
Feng Ling even suspected that they might not even receive their first month’s salary.
Feng Ling nodded and walked out of the lounge.
Now there were only Ye Zhou and Cao'er in the lounge. Cao'er went to get Ye Zhou a pot of hot water, took away the cold tea, and made another cup for Ye Zhou. While making tea, Cao'er asked carefully, "Fairy, what happened to Brother Zou recently?"
She really wanted to ask what happened to Ye Zhou and Zou Ming, but she didn't dare.
Ye Zhou sighed softly: "You are still young and don't understand. Go and get busy."
Since Ye Zhou was unwilling to answer, Cao'er couldn't ask any more questions. She bent down slightly and left the lounge.
The supermarket is not receiving customers today, but that doesn't mean the employees have no work to do. They have to restock the goods, check for loose items on the shelves and clean the supermarket thoroughly.
So even though we weren't receiving any customers, the workload didn't decrease, but instead increased.
Feng Ling carried the washed clothes, towels and blankets to dry in the sun. Although there was a dryer in the supermarket, everyone, including Feng Ling, still liked the smell of clothes dried in the sun. For this reason, they even set up a temporary clothes drying rack at the back of the supermarket.
"Kelly, let me help you." The girl with red curly hair trotted over. Her face was yellow, her lips were pale, and her long arms were as thin as sticks. Feng Ling was worried that she would faint in the next second.
Kelly was Feng Ling's former English name. Although they actually didn't have much contact with foreign countries anymore, there were still foreign language classes in school. But it was optional to study them, and most people chose not to study them since it was useless to study them.
Some people learn it out of interest, but it is limited to some basic vocabulary.
Feng Ling only attended a few classes and forgot everything she should have forgotten. The only thing she remembered until now was her English name.
"No need, you go and clean it." Feng Ling picked up a towel from the basket and was about to hang it on the clothesline, but the girl did not leave. Instead, she also picked up a towel from the basket.
Feng Ling glanced at her and did not try to stop her, tacitly agreeing to her help.
The girl forced a somewhat stiff and flattering smile on her face. Feng Ling sighed and said softly, "You didn't eat enough today, did you?"
The girl's mood immediately became high when she found Feng Ling was willing to talk to her. However, she did not dare to complain. She just said, "That's enough. I eat very little and I can do a lot of work."
Feng Ling: “…”
Feng Ling didn't say anything else, but hung up all the clothes in silence.
The girl carefully looked at her expression, and she whispered, "Kelly, my mother baked some cookies, do you want some?"
Girl: "It's delicious! She even put sugar in it!"
Of course, only the portion for Feng Ling contained sugar.
Feng Ling shook her head and glanced at the girl: "You should eat more. If you continue like this, you will definitely collapse in the supermarket."
"If you continue like this you will be fired."
The girl's eyes widened and her eyes immediately turned red. Her uncles, aunts, and cousins were all very unhappy about this job - they all thought that as long as she gave up the job, her cousins would take over.
It's just that her parents didn't agree because they also needed her salary.
But they would not protect her, and her cousins would ridicule and scold her when she was alone.
But even when she was at work, it was not easy for her. She had to do a lot of work, and her food was always taken away from her. She had to give it to the men. If she didn't, the men might surround her when she got off work, and she had no way to resist them.
The girl lowered her head and whispered, "No, I won't fall down in the supermarket. I will definitely work hard."
Feng Ling was a little worried.
It is impossible for her to protect this girl. Not to mention the difference in thinking, just say that now she can let the girl resist those men, and she can also protect her in the supermarket.
But then what?
After all, the girl wanted to go home, and Feng Ling couldn't take her away.
Feng Ling could see that Ye Zhou had no plans to hire any more formal employees here.
The girl had to stand on her own, but that was not an easy task. She was not strong, nor was she particularly smart. She was no match for the men in terms of physical strength, and she had no power or land resources.
In an agricultural society, one must either have strong military power, for example, if there are many men in a family, then the family can rule the village.
Either they own the land resources or they own the land. Landlords are not as strong or work as hard as tenants, but because they have absolute resources in their hands, they can hire people and gain a superior status through resources and money.
And girls have no place in either.
After thinking about it, Feng Ling realized that she couldn't help them. There were only two ways to help them: either let them change their environment or change their environment.
But the former is something that only Ye Zhou can decide, and as for the latter - as a person who has to work, she really does not have the energy for it, nor does she think that the environment can be changed in just a few months or years. To change the overall environment, it will take at least three generations.
So she could only say: "It's not just you saying you can do it. If you collapse in the supermarket, or even die here, what will happen next? We can only compensate your family, but this is not our fault."
"We don't skimp on your food. You can get enough meat and vegetables every day. The working hours are not long, eight hours a day, and there is overtime pay. No matter where you are, this amount of time and salary is already pretty good."
Feng Ling looked into the girl’s eyes: “We shouldn’t pay for mistakes that don’t belong to us, right?”
The girl's eyes were red. She explained: "I'm in good health. I've rarely been sick since I was a child. I..."
Feng Ling turned her head away and stopped looking at the girl's face. "You know what I'm talking about. If you can't guarantee your own health, I still suggest you resign. Dismissal is always unpleasant to hear, and this is also for your own good."
The girl lowered her head and her shoulders shook.
Feng Ling felt bad, but she still forced herself to leave with the basket.
She really wanted to help these two girls, who were hardworking and honest, and who accepted all the injustices that came their way.
But she knew very well that she couldn't help them.
In this case, she couldn't give them false hope, lest if she let the supermarket leave, the girls would fall into greater despair.
After Feng Ling put down the basket, she went to report the matter to Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou is checking the bills.
The supermarket has been open for so many days, but the money we made is actually not much, at most 24,000.
This is the result of nearby farmers being emptied out and having very limited purchasing power.
When Ye Zhou was having a headache, Feng Ling came to tell him her thoughts.
Ye Zhou was silent for a while after listening to this: "Don't think too much, just fire those men. Our supermarket doesn't need lazy employees. In this way, all the responsibility will be on us. Even if those men hate us, they hate us, not those two girls."
Feng Ling looked at Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou said, "I just asked you to say hello to the girls so that they don't think too much."
Ye Zhou: "The consequences of their resistance will not be good, but our likes and dislikes are still very important to the farmers."
"If we fire a few people, we can free up some seats." Ye Zhou smiled, "The newcomers should be more disciplined."
Feng Ling looked at Ye Zhou steadily.
Ye Zhou raised his head and looked at her strangely: "What's wrong?"
Feng Ling said sincerely: "Boss, you look so handsome today."
Ye Zhou: “…”
Wasn't he handsome yesterday?
