She said tolerantly, then prepared to ask Xu Zijiang to go easy on her. As long as she had even a little bit of ability to protect herself, she would keep her. Xu Zijiang had been watching Yu Jiu interview the young girl without interfering, until his name was called, at which point he stepped forward.
"Come on, little girl, let me test your strength."
"Okay, thank you."
She was already content that Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang had given her a chance. She wanted to seize it; even if she couldn't stay in the end, at least she wouldn't regret it. Sun Haohao straightened her expression, then assumed a fighting stance, watching Xu Zijiang warily.
Xu Zijiang was tall and strong, quite different from the thugs she had previously chased away. But Yu Jiu hadn't demanded she win; three to five weeks should be enough, right?
A glimmer of hope flashed through Sun Haohao's mind.
"Come on, you make the first move. If she can handle it and doesn't give up, then that's fine."
Yu Jiu gave Xu Zijiang a look. She originally wanted Sun Haohao to attack Xu Zijiang first, but after thinking about it, she decided to let Xu Zijiang attack Sun Haohao first. As long as she caught it, didn't cry out in pain, and didn't admit defeat, she would pass the test.
"Okay, I'm coming over."
Xu Zi nodded, giving Sun a heads-up so he could prepare himself. Then he charged forward and threw a punch.
Xu Zijiang certainly couldn't exert all his strength. Yu Jiu had just given him a look, meaning he should go easy on him. Therefore, Xu Zijiang only used half his strength.
Seeing this, Sun Haohao didn't retreat but advanced. Her eyes were determined as she charged towards Xu Zijiang. However, she didn't throw a punch at Xu Zijiang. Instead, she reached out and grabbed Xu Zijiang's wrists. Her attack was fast and accurate. Xu Zijiang didn't dodge or evade, and she managed to grab his wrists.
Sun Haohao took the opportunity to twist Xu Zijiang's hands together and press them against her chest. She used all her strength to try to hold Xu Zijiang in place so that he could not break free. Xu Zijiang felt the strength in her hands and found that it was indeed quite strong. He would probably need to use two or three more points of strength to break free from her hands. Xu Zijiang nodded in appreciation.
"Not bad, he's quite strong, he can hold his own against an average adult man."
"But strength alone is not enough. You need to be more agile. Otherwise, even against an ordinary man, you won't have much of a chance, since their stamina is generally much better than that of a young girl."
As Xu Zijiang spoke, without giving any further warnings, he increased his strength and directly reversed the situation. He crossed his hands back and then grabbed Sun Haohao's wrist, making Sun Haohao the one who was now firmly restrained.
However, Sun Haohao was not entirely inflexible. After being captured by Xu Zijiang, she did not panic. She quickly squatted down, pulled Xu Zijiang down, and then ran as hard as she could behind him. Xu Zijiang's arms could not reach that far, and he could not pull her back immediately. His arms stretched longer and longer until they reached his shoulders, and he was forced to let go of Sun Haohao.
Sun Haohao successfully escaped Xu Zijiang's control.
"Not bad, your adaptability is also quite good. You have one last move, so be prepared."
Xu Zi nodded again. As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over, intending to grab Sheng Haohao. This time, it was a test of her escape skills. Sun Haohao saw through his intentions, so she started a guerrilla war with him.
In this small space, she dodged and weaved, running and crouching to avoid him, even rolling on the ground. Each time she barely escaped Xu Zijiang's grasp. Even when he grabbed the hem of her clothes, she managed to break free with agility.
Observing Sun Haohao's behavior, Yu Jiu felt that this young girl was brave and calm, and indeed quite skilled, much better than the average young man. Even if she was a little younger, it didn't matter. She didn't mind doing a good deed without harming her own interests, so Yu Jiu raised her hand to stop her.
"That's enough, stop now."
As soon as Yu Jiu called for a stop, Xu Zijiu stopped and returned to stand beside Yu Jiu. Sun Haohao also got up from the ground and walked nervously to Yu Jiu, looking at her expectantly.
"You did a good job, so you can stay. You can learn how to sell clothes from us. Selling clothes isn't difficult. As long as you're bold and thick-skinned, you won't have trouble selling them."
You'll be staying at the shop tonight. As for your brother, you can bring him over occasionally, but he can't stay long-term. And if he comes, he has to promise not to touch anything in the shop; he's just here to keep you company overnight.
If he touches anything in the store, I won't let him come here again, and I'll consider firing you, understand?
Yu Jiu looked at her seriously and gave her instructions, laying out the unpleasant truth upfront. Her brother was at that age, a real troublemaker, and she didn't know if he was sensible enough, so she couldn't possibly ask him to come and live here permanently.
"Your salary is 35 yuan. You can start working here. If you perform well in the second month, I will increase it to 40 yuan, and then gradually increase your salary."
By the way, because the store sells clothes, it is very sensitive to fire, so you must make sure that you do not use fire in the store, you cannot light a fire to cook, and you can only light mosquito coils in your room, not anywhere else. If you go out, you must extinguish the mosquito coils.
All use of fire is strictly prohibited, understand?
"I understand, thank you boss! I will definitely work hard and be obedient, don't worry. When can I start work?"
Sun Haohao was so happy she could jump for joy. She excitedly asked Lin Shuishui that she had finally found a job with such a high salary, so she could support herself and her brother from now on.
"How about today? The sooner we learn, the easier things will be for us too."
Seeing how happy she was, Yu Jiu decided to let her come to work today. Sun Haohao readily agreed and eagerly followed the two of them to get to work, even asking where the broom was so she could sweep the floor.
"No need to sweep, we've already swept the floor. You can sit down first. When customers come, you can come with me to greet them. Observe how I treat customers and how I talk to them. Observe a few first, and then I'll let you practice on your own."
Yu Jiu casually gave the instructions, his tone friendly and gentle. Because the store opened early, there weren't many customers coming in this morning. However, after testing Sun Haohao and sitting for a while, it was almost 9 o'clock, and at this time, more customers began to come in one after another.
Yu Jiu had previously taught Sun Haohao and her team how to offer discounts at their store, so she had to remember it before introducing it to customers. Now that a customer had come in, Yu Jiu got up to greet them, and Xu Zijiang also went out with a megaphone, ready to use it to call out to people and attract customers.
"Sister, take a look at the clothes. Which one do you like? I can recommend some to you. They're all new styles, and they're really beautiful. How about this 'not-so-dress' skirt? It was our best-selling item yesterday; everyone loved buying it."
