Chapter 85 Recruiting a mother and daughter...
Chapter 85
Lin Mujin sat on the back seat of her cousin Lin's bicycle, with her eyes slightly closed and her head slightly raised. The breeze was blowing gently on her face, and she seemed to be enjoying it.
"Sister, did everything go well this morning?"
Lin Mujin nodded. "It went smoothly. The contract has been signed and the money has been received. I also tried it out for them and there were no problems at all."
Cousin Lin nodded, "That's good."
"You don't have to come in with me later. Find an ice cream parlor and have a cup of milk tea. I will bring the person out." Cousin Lin arranged.
Lin Mujin had no objection. She also valued her own safety. "Okay. Oh, by the way, brother, don't forget to buy two packs of cigarettes."
Cousin Lin laughed. "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I always forget to buy cigarettes if I don't smoke."
Lin Mujin's mouth twitched. He was fooling others by not smoking.
Who was the one who stayed up late at night and went outside to smoke to save the beauty?
Soon they arrived at the destination. Lin Mujin jumped out of the car and randomly chose an ice cream parlor. "Brother, I'm going to this one."
Cousin Lin remembered the name on the sign - Chen Erjia.
Simple and easy to remember, remember it firmly.
Cousin Lin was worried and told her not to run around before leaving.
Lin Mujin ordered a cup of milk tea and drank it slowly. After she had drunk most of the cup, her cousin Lin came back with his people.
She hurried out.
There is one man and four women. The man should be the agent.
The four women's ages also vary somewhat.
The oldest one has half a head of white hair, but his face doesn't have many wrinkles.
The youngest one should be a minor. He is not short in height, but has a young face. However, his eyes are very firm, which shows that he is mentally mature.
"Brother."
Cousin Lin waved for her to come over, and the agent had already started introducing them one by one.
"This Sister Yang, 42, is hardworking and capable. She's a skilled cook and can also sew."
"This is Mrs. Luo, she's thirty-five, and this is her daughter, sixteen, she's quite clean."
"The last one is Zhang Xue, she's 22, has a high school education, and is very clean."
Lin Mujin listened to the introduction of the intermediary, looked at everyone in turn, and took their seats.
None of these four people looked too sloppy. At least there was no dandruff on their hair, and their nails were a little dirty but not greasy. She was satisfied with their hygiene.
As for hard work, it depends on the working situation rather than what the agent says.
Lin Mujin asked in Mandarin, "Where are you all from?"
Cousin Lin was very surprised, "Sister, how come you can speak Mandarin?"
Lin Mujin made up a universal excuse, "I learned it from my classmates."
When the four heard Mandarin, their expressions became much more vivid and they all started to answer.
The mother and daughter are from Liaoning Province.
The oldest one is from Henan.
The remaining one is from Anhui.
Lin Mujin also asked about their family situation and whether they had any relatives in Hong Kong.
None of the four have any other relatives.
Cousin Lin pulled Lin Mujin aside and whispered, "That old woman with gray hair, her husband didn't make it back from the sea. That mother and daughter came here with relatives and were nearly sold. They escaped after being alerted by a kind-hearted person. The young woman came here illegally with her fiancé, but that man married into a wealthy family, so she's free now."
Lin Mujin thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I don't think we can keep this young woman at the end."
Cousin Lin was puzzled, "Why?"
Lin Mujin sighed, "She's very pretty. Not a great beauty, but a beautiful girl from a small family. She won't resign herself to this and will work hard to climb up the social ladder and make her fiancé regret it. Our small food stall can't satisfy her."
Cousin Lin was silent for a moment, "You have a point."
Lin Mujin continued, "That girl is actually quite suitable given her age, and she also has skills, but it's not a good thing that she has no ties."
Cousin Lin was puzzled again, "It's better if you don't have any worries. I specifically asked you to find it."
Lin Mujin understood what her cousin meant. They provided food and accommodation, and it would be very troublesome if they brought a whole family.
If the family is separated, helping out will definitely take up their energy.
So there is nothing wrong with Cousin Lin wanting to be free of worries.
But everything has its pros and cons. Having no worries means you can do things without considering the consequences.
Their family makes food, and the recipes are not complicated, so if you are interested, you can still "steal" their skills.
Thinking about it this way, the mother and daughter pair are the most suitable.
They care about each other and think twice before doing anything.
Although their family will not pay them too high a salary, they will provide them with food and accommodation, which will allow them to truly settle down and help them integrate into the city of Hong Kong.
If the mother is smart, she should know how to choose.
"Brother, let's go with that mother and daughter. They're mother and daughter, so they'll definitely get along well. We can worry less."
Cousin Lin had no objection, "I'll do as you say."
Lin Mujin quickly said, "It's a one-month trial. Whether they can stay or not depends on themselves. By the way, brother, how much agency fee do we need to pay?"
Cousin Lin turned his head and took a look. "Two hundred yuan per person."
Lin Mujin nodded. "That's fine. Ask the mother and daughter to come over and discuss their treatment."
Cousin Lin didn't call them directly, but asked the male intermediary to bring them over.
Lin Mujin still spoke Mandarin. "My family runs a grocery store. The work isn't tiring, but it's very tedious. I have to get up at around four in the morning and work until seven at night. Can you do it?"
She deliberately extended her working hours.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, nodded repeatedly, and said yes.
Lin Mujin remained silent. "We provide food and lodging, and there's a bathroom. You have to shower every day and pay attention to hygiene. After all, we're in the import business, so cleanliness is essential. Bad hygiene habits must be corrected as soon as possible."
The mother and daughter continued to nod.
Lin Mujin continued, "The house we're staying in is right next door to mine. The ten-square-meter bedroom is just for you two, mother and daughter. You'll sleep on bunk beds, and there's a wardrobe for your belongings. As for meals, we'll have one meat and one vegetable for lunch and dinner, and all the staple foods are sufficient. You should know that accommodation and food in Hong Kong are very expensive, so your wages won't be too high. A total of 1,500 Hong Kong dollars for the two of you. Is that acceptable to you?"
She is not Zhou Paopi who can settle accounts.
Previously, they planned to recruit people at a salary of one thousand dollars per person.
But that does not include food and accommodation.
The cost of sharing a house nowadays is about 520 yuan, and if you add two meals a day with meat for two people, 500 yuan is definitely not enough.
Previously they had discussed 800 per person, but now that there was a minor the price had to be lowered.
Judging from her performance during the probation period, if she does well and is no worse than an adult, we can just raise her salary back to $100.
"able!"
"able!"
Lin Mujin nodded to her cousin Lin, which meant that she could pay the agency fee.
Lin Mujin then asked the mother and daughter, "Do you still need to go back to Kowloon City? Do you have any luggage there?"
The mother and daughter shook their heads at the same time.
Lin Mujin found it a little unbelievable. Even if it was inconvenient to sneak across, she still had to bring some luggage with her. She came here empty-handed.
But this is convenient, "Then come with me, we still need to buy some things, and then I'll take you back to the rental house."
I'm already thinking about paying them some wages first so they can buy some clothes and toiletries.
