After Xu Xiangyang finished explaining, he stood obediently to the side.
Hearing his words, Liao Shizhang was stunned for a moment, then realized, "That's good, as long as you can cooperate with my work."
He wasn't entirely convinced either; after all, who could handle such intense work? Or had he never done this job before?
He knew that no one would want to be his secretary; there were no benefits and the workload was heavy.
But he had no choice; he wanted to do more, which caused a lot of hardship for his staff.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "Chief Liao, don't worry, we are all serving the people. It's our duty! Whenever you need me, just call me and I'll arrange some work for you."
He was serious when he said that. After all, without a job or political career, what's the point of talking about promotion?
It's already beyond my expectations that he can be a secretary now. Since there's an opportunity, we should seize it!
Liao Shichang was surprised by his high level of awareness, but he remained skeptical.
After all, he doesn't know this person, so who knows if what he says is true or false?
"Well, it's good that you're aware of this. You can go back now, and I'll arrange work for you tomorrow." He planned to let Xu Xiangyang try it out tomorrow, and see if he could prove himself.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and then went back.
After get off work, he went to find Qian Wenqing first.
The two of them had agreed to meet this afternoon, but he needed to finish his business quickly so he could go home and celebrate Wang Xiumin's birthday.
I glanced at the time; it wasn't too late, so I took the shuttle bus.
When they arrived, Xu Xiangyang opened the gate and saw five more people in the courtyard.
Good grief, five people?
However, it's not an option to keep people indoors in the dead of winter, especially since it's only late March and the weather is very cold in the early mornings and evenings.
When Qian Wenqing saw him arrive, he quickly stood up to greet him, "Brother Xu is here!"
The others noticed as well, and they all looked at him, openly scrutinizing him with their eyes.
Xu Xiangyang completely ignored their stares and said, "Why are you standing outside instead of coming inside?"
Qian Wenqing replied, "They insisted on waiting outside, and they just arrived."
He just called people into the house, but no one came in. What can he do?
Xu Xiangyang nodded, then looked around. Everyone was in their twenties, and they were either dark-skinned and thin or dark-skinned and strong.
Their mental state is quite normal for the current situation, so there's nothing particularly outstanding about it.
Most importantly, he found that everyone looked very ordinary, the kind of people you could easily miss if you threw them into a crowd.
This makes them easy to overlook and seem insignificant, but the more insignificant a person is, the more likely they are to accomplish great things.
He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please come inside. I have a lot of questions to ask, so it's not appropriate to stand outside for too long."
The others entered the house one after another, and Qian Wenqing briefly explained the situation from behind.
These people usually hang out in the black market, and they are basically very familiar with the situation in New City.
People used to be more successful, but in the last two years, nobody has had much to do.
So, when they saw Qian Wenqing, they came over after assessing the situation. If they could earn a living, who would want to stay there indefinitely?
Xu Xiangyang sat in a chair, with five people sitting opposite him, and Qian Wenqing standing next to him.
Why does he seem like the boss?
He said to the person next to him, "Go sit over there, what are you doing standing here?"
Qian Wenqing pursed his lips, then slunk away to sit on the chair next to him.
Wasn't he just trying to highlight Brother Xu's status? Isn't he the boss? Of course, someone has to stand behind him.
Otherwise, what if those little brats on the other side look down on people?
But he still obediently went over and sat down, doing whatever Brother Xu said.
Seeing that they had sat down, Xu Xiangyang asked them to introduce themselves, saying what they could say and not forcing them to say what they couldn't.
They also introduced themselves by name and what they were good at.
Xu Xiangyang saw a shifty-eyed man, whose name seemed to be Dong Er.
He kept looking around at the things in the room, his eyes darting around erratically.
Others also looked down on him; nobody liked him, and he was a bit of a nuisance.
Xu Xiangyang raised an eyebrow and said, "I understand your general situation. I will explain my requirements later. I will definitely do anything, including dirty and tiring work, or things you can't accept."
"We'll talk about salary after I've worked for a month."
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, and two people immediately left.
Xu Xiangyang didn't try to keep them. What he was doing might have put him in danger anyway, so those who stayed would naturally be useful.
Dong Er didn't leave either. The other two were named Hei Zi, who was 1.8 meters tall and had a muscular build. He looked like he was a laborer.
His hands were calloused and his clothes were patched and worn, suggesting his family was not well-off.
The other one, named Xiaolin, was of medium build. It was hard to tell what he did, but you could tell from his eyes that he was very anxious.
Xu Xiangyang paused for a moment, then continued, "If you agree, you can start working today, and meals will be provided."
The promise of meals made all three of them's eyes light up.
At this moment, nothing excites them more than having their meals provided.
Even if they were given money, they would still have to spend a lot of money to buy food to fill their stomachs, which would be even less cost-effective.
Qian Wenqing, who was standing nearby, sighed. His grain was about to be divided up!
Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Boss, can I bring someone over for dinner? I can give my share of food to that person."
He was a little uneasy, after all, no one would agree to such a request. At the very least, he had been looking for work for a month, and not a single person had agreed.
Xu Xiangyang raised an eyebrow; seeing his expression, he knew he was in trouble.
Before he could speak, Qian Wenqing, who was standing next to him, became anxious.
"What the heck? Bringing someone to eat with you? What are you thinking, treating this place like a charity?"
Three more people would be enough, let alone more?
No, he still needs to eat. What if Xu Xiangyang thinks they eat too much and his food is cut back?
No, no, absolutely not!
Xu Xiangyang saw the disappointed look on the person opposite him, but still gritted his teeth, indicating that he wanted to leave.
At this moment, he spoke up, "Kobayashi, right?"
The person opposite nodded and looked at Xu Xiangyang.
“Bringing people to dinner is not a problem, but you will have to do more work and be responsible for cleaning afterward.” Xu Xiangyang could refuse.
He just thought that having a weakness would make someone easier to control.
I just happened to bring the person along, so I can take a look myself.
Moreover, as long as he controls the food supply and prevents them from starving, that will be enough.
People shouldn't be overfed, otherwise something bad can easily happen.
Thinking of this, he looked at Dong Er.
This guy seems a bit dishonest, but we're short-staffed right now, so we'll keep him for now. If he really doesn't work out, we'll teach him a lesson and then fire him.
