Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Best Friend
Zhao Ruyue’s branch is located in a newly purchased shop in a residential area.
The two shops were connected to form one store, which has a very large space, much more spacious than the bungalow.
But Zhao Ruyue did not set up a warehouse here. She specially separated out two small rooms, each with a bathroom.
One of the small rooms is a place for the sales staff to take turns to rest and eat at noon.
The other is a mother-and-child room, where employees who bring their children to work can place their own and their children's belongings. When the child needs milk, they can go in to be fed, and when the child falls asleep, they can also put him or her in this small room.
As long as you manage it strictly, don't let outsiders in and out, and don't put things that threaten children in, then the safety of the children will be more guaranteed.
However, the new store had just been renovated, and her two classmates had to bring their children to work. Children's immunity is not as strong as that of adults, so Zhao Ruyue could not let them go to the new store immediately, so she arranged them in the old store first.
After the new store is renovated, it still needs to be left to dry for a while before it can be opened. After it has been open for a while, we will let the two masters take the children over there.
The small warehouse at the old store was temporarily vacated to be used as a studio and lounge for the two new maintenance masters, and the things in the warehouse were moved to the room originally rented by Ji Huixuan.
Ji Huixuan's photo studio has now passed the most difficult period in the early days of its business, and its business is now in a period of rapid growth.
Now the business scope of her photo studio has expanded. After hiring employees, Ji Huixuan began to take on wedding photography and artistic photo shooting jobs. The area of the previous small bungalow was not enough for her to display her talents.
Ji Huixuan found a suitable shop in a better location in the county, and decorated the shop very nicely and artistically, making it look more upscale. Many young girls in the county like to go to his shop to take artistic photos and wedding photos.
She moved her store there and after reopening it, she also rented a house in a community near her new store, so the small bungalow here became vacant.
After Zhao Ruyue took back the small bungalow that Ji Huixuan had originally rented, she no longer rented it out. She left it to Ning Shaoming to use as a warehouse some time ago. Now she just needed to free up some space for her store.
After the office was cleaned up, Zhao Ruyue’s two classmates also discussed with their families about coming to work.
They hadn't come into contact with what they had learned before for several months, so it was inevitable that they felt a little unfamiliar, but Zhao Ruyue didn't care about this. After all, the salary she gave them at the beginning was only a probationary salary.
I won’t give someone a high salary right away just because he or she is my classmate or I am familiar with him or her.
Zhao Ruyue was also slowly helping them adapt. No matter what they didn't know or hadn't learned before, as long as they were willing to learn, she was willing to teach them.
The things that need to be repaired in her shop are actually MP3, MP4, PHS and mobile phones. Different brands are just different in substance, and the common problems are the same.
Zhao Ruyue, who is difficult to fix, would not expect them to learn how to deal with it immediately.
Skill improvement is something they need to consider after they have mastered solving common problems, if they want to break through their own skills and earn more salary.
After a month, both of them had adapted to the pace of working in her store and most common problems could be solved, and Zhao Ruyue felt much more relaxed.
Finally, I don’t have to spend most of my time on work every day. I only need to solve problems that the other two masters can’t solve, and my free time has greatly increased.
Only when there are too many customers and both of them are too busy will they allocate some of the machines with common problems to themselves.
Usually two masters handle the work, because in addition to the basic salary, they also get commission based on their abilities when repairing things, so when the workload is not too heavy, Zhao Ruyue will not compete with them, allowing them to earn as much money as possible.
When they first came, they would often start complaining about their in-laws when talking to people. But as their income increased, this situation became less common.
Their two children are relatively well-behaved. Lan Juan's children always like to be held by her to feel safe, otherwise they will cry if she puts them down.
This made Lan Juan's income far less than that of another classmate whose child didn't cry much. She also had little milk and really needed money to buy milk powder for her child.
Lan Juan had no choice but to harden her heart and force him to change this habit.
Now she can stay in bed safely for a long time, and her income has also increased.
From the third month onwards, after becoming proficient in the work, they had a good income and were no longer frowning all the time.
Zhao Ruyue finally made some time and found a decoration company to renovate the house she bought in the county town.
She used to live near the apartment in the demolition area, and the owner of a small shop once handed her a business card. It was the business card of a construction and decoration team that her husband had set up.
When Zhao Ruyue was packing her backpack, she took out the business card.
Originally, Zhao Ruyue didn't want to find the decoration team of the boss's husband. She always felt that she was not sure about her words and was worried that she would spread the condition of her house around.
But after Zhao Ruyue inquired around in the county for a while, she found out that many people said that her husband's decoration team had good quality work and had upgraded from a private construction decoration team to a legitimate company.
This company has just been established and is still in the stage of building its reputation, so the probability of fraud is not high.
Even Zhao Ruyue's cousin Zhao Ruyu knew about that company.
Zhao Ruyue might not trust others, but she believed in Zhao Ruyu. Her cousin had never done anything unreliable or cheated her.
Later, I don’t know where the owner of the convenience store heard the news that her family was going to renovate their house, and she took the initiative to come to me to solicit business for her own company.
As the two chatted, they talked about the incident where the owner of the convenience store mistook the wrong person for someone else in the car.
Zhao Ruyue then realized that the other person did not intentionally spread her family's news everywhere, but it was just a coincidence that he recognized the wrong person at that time.
After the demolition compensation came in, a lot of people came to the boss's family to borrow money, and some even set up a trap to lure her husband into gambling and spending money in high-end places with a lot of sex.
Fortunately, the couple were able to withstand it and did not fall into the trap. Since then, she has become much more cautious in her words.
Only then did Zhao Ruyue put aside the doubts in her heart and chose her family's decoration company.
However, when Zhao Ruyue was talking to her, she also took the opportunity to expand a customer source channel for Su Shengnan's newly established maintenance company.
Some decoration companies' clients have things in their homes that are damaged a few years after the decoration is completed and need to be repaired or replaced, but the decoration warranty period has expired. Of course, the decoration company will not help with the repairs.
The "expired customers" of these decoration companies are Su Shengnan's potential customers.
Having the customer information provided by the decoration company is always more convenient and more accurate than asking Su Shengnan to look for them one by one.
After Zhao Ruyue invested money in Su Shengnan, she did not participate in the management.
However, there are too few women learning maintenance, and it is difficult to recruit female maintenance masters. Su Shengnan has no choice but to recruit inexperienced novices and train them himself.
But she has to run business and visit clients to work and earn money to maintain the company, so it is difficult for her to spare time to provide systematic training to employees.
At this time, he could only find Zhao Ruyue again and ask Zhao Ruyue to come to her company and work as a skills trainer.
"Master, I really have no other choice but to ask you for more help." After Su Shengnan resigned, he had to run around everywhere every day, which put him under a lot of pressure and he lost a lot of weight.
When her mother heard that she had quit her job to start a business, she rushed back to see what was going on.
When I came back, I felt very distressed to see my daughter so tired.
Her mother stopped working and decided to stay and help her.
Now her mother is a maintenance technician in her company and was one of her first partners in performing on-site repairs.
At first, Su Shengnan's mother knew nothing either. Later, after watching more, she followed suit and gradually learned.
After her mother learned it, she was also able to guide new people.
The two of them split up, each taking care of a newcomer, but that was still not enough.
"When I first opened my company, I was worried about not having any work. But after running around to do business, I found that there are actually quite a few women living alone in our county. There are too many orders and not enough staff. Some customers have to wait for a long time and keep asking for more, while others don't want to wait that long and go find someone else."
Those businesses were all recruited by Su Shengnan with great effort. Every loss would mean the waste of her previous efforts, so she felt very sad when one was lost.
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming have been busy with their own store business, renovating their house, and participating in training organized by the town's scenic spot development company. They spend time with their children whenever they have time and take them out to play during holidays.
In addition, Zhao Ruyue also has to make time to help Tian Qing buy accessories and assemble computers, but this is not a long-term job.
Tian Qing went with her to buy things. When she was assembling things, Tian Qing watched and learned beside her. After watching for a while, Tian Qing finally learned how to do it.
Zhao Ruyue also recommended her the forums she often visited and some posts, allowing her to learn on her own. Over time, Tian Qing was no longer a computer novice who could only play with the computer but not repair it.
So Zhao Ruyue has a lot of things to do in her daily life and doesn't really pay attention to the situation in Su Shengnan's company.
It can be said that once the money is invested, she no longer considers it her own. It would be a good thing to get dividends in the future, but losses are also the risk of investment, so she should treat it with a normal mind.
I really didn't expect Su Shengnan's company to develop so fast.
Zhao Ruyue thought about it and realized that the house was almost renovated, and the subsequent soft furnishings could not be rushed. After the decoration was completely completed, it would take a long time for the smell to dissipate, so she just needed to go over and ventilate the house from time to time.
This time can be freed up: "I can agree to work as a skills trainer in your company, but you also know that I have my own things to do every day, and I can't spare much time. I'm afraid I can't do this job full-time."
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you are willing to go, you can make your own training plan. I will give you full-time salary and pay for social security."
Zhao Ruyue was quite excited about the social security. The scenic spot development company in the town promised that after the scenic spot was renovated and opened to the public, they would also pay their social security when they officially started work. However, that would take at least several years.
Moreover, Zhao Ruyue estimated that she would have to sign a contract with them and stipulate fixed working hours before they would pay her social security. How could she have so much time?
With this comparison, it would be better for Su Shengnan's company to pay, and she wouldn't have to wait for a few more years.
When Zhao Ruyue went home to write the training plan, it didn't feel real.
Until she stood in the conference room used as a training room by Su Shengnan's company, she stood in front of a group of people and gave them a lecture.
After the talk was over and everyone else had left, Zhao Ruyue looked at the empty conference room and suddenly realized that there would actually be a day when she would be able to teach others and have them call her teacher.
This feeling is really novel!
With her help in employee training, Su Shengnan's company's staff shortage situation finally improved a lot.
This year, Zhao Ruyue had a lot of harvest, and her sister Zhao Ruyuan's family was also doing well in crayfish farming.
When she returned to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year, Zhao Ruyuan wore a gold bracelet on her wrist and paid back all the money she had borrowed last year.
She got the IOU, tore it up casually, and then asked Zhao Ruyue for gossip: "I heard that yesterday on the first day of the new year, my brother-in-law's second brother and his wife went to your old house to pay New Year's greetings to the old man, but they were driven out by the old man?"
Zhao Ruyue didn't even want to say anything about the second brother and his wife. They seemed to have changed, but actually they were still the same.
"According to the rules, my parents-in-law are going to spend the New Year at my second son's house this year. Your brother-in-law and I will no longer have any contact with his family, but my parents are their biological parents, so we still have to abide by this rule, right?
As a result, the couple didn't want to get involved in my mother-in-law's affairs, so they pretended to be dead on New Year's Eve and only came back on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings in a pretentious manner. Who could like them? But I'd better not let my father-in-law push me back. ”
"What will the rules be in the future? I heard that my brother-in-law's eldest brother will be released next year." Zhao Ruyuan was quite worried about her sister and brother-in-law's family. The eldest and second sons were not doing well, so her sister and brother-in-law would have to bear more responsibilities.
Zhao Ruyue was not afraid: "This is easy to handle. My father-in-law has already decided that none of his sons will accompany him during the New Year and other festivals in the future. All we need to do is send them New Year gifts and they can celebrate on their own."
"That sounds fair, but if you think about it carefully, they are living in your and your brother-in-law's house, so they are actually living with your family."
"It can't be helped. We just need to live a life where we don't suffer any loss. We can't be too calculating. Besides, if we really do care about it, we won't suffer any loss. Guess how much New Year's money my father-in-law gave to Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia this year?"
Zhao Ruyuan guessed high: "Two hundred?"
She felt that this amount was probably the highest amount of New Year's money that any child around her could get.
This is the New Year's money she gives to her clients' children. She only gives one hundred to her own children.
Zhao Ruyue raised a finger.
Zhao Ruyuan said disappointedly: "One hundred?"
Zhao Ruyue shook her head.
Zhao Ruyuan's eyes widened: "One thousand?"
Seeing Zhao Ruyue nod, she murmured in shock: "Oh my God, your father-in-law is so willing to do this? Is he stimulated by something?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, I saw that the red envelope he gave to Danping from your brother-in-law's eldest brother's family was not that thick. He only gave 500 yuan."
Of course Ningda didn’t give them all at once. The two children’s New Year greetings came at different times, and he didn’t let anyone else know.
Ning Danping was so surprised to suddenly receive such a large red envelope that she couldn't help but tell Zhao Ruyue. Only then did Zhao Ruyue realize that her father-in-law gave so much more to her children than to other children.
This was a big red envelope of 500 yuan that Ning Da gave to Ning Danping because she was admitted to a technical secondary school.
It can be seen that Ningda also has a scale in his heart.
Zhao Ruyue warned her sister: "I told you about this, don't go out and tell anyone else."
Zhao Ruyuan said, "Don't worry, you don't know whether I'm tight-lipped or not. But speaking of the girl from my brother-in-law's family, her father is in jail, can she pass the political investigation at a technical secondary school?"
"It's not like the special period before. Maybe there are some schools with special requirements, such as military schools, which may still need political review."
Speaking of Ning Danping's schooling, it was quite dramatic.
She had no goals before and didn’t study seriously. Later, she had goals, but her academic performance was not good enough. Her father also got into trouble and was sent to prison. She had to worry about future tuition fees. She worked part-time at relatives’ homes during her spare time to save up for her tuition fees.
As a result, in the year of the exam, things took a turn for the better. A scenic spot was developed in the town, and in a few years her mother could work in the scenic spot and have a stable income.
Now that her future is secured, her mother no longer holds on to her money and is willing to pay for her education.
In the end, Ning Danping performed exceptionally well in the high school entrance exam and her grades were good enough to get into a regular high school, but the school was not very good.
After careful consideration, Ning Danping decided to study nursing at a technical secondary school, even though at the time only a few other kids joked that she was suitable for this.
However, she considered that after graduating from this major, it would be relatively easy to find a decent job in the town or county, and she also wanted to start working as soon as possible so that she could become financially independent as soon as possible, so she still chose this major.
After listening to her story, Zhao Ruyuan said, "I heard that a technical secondary school degree is not worth much now. I'm really worried that my Cairou won't be able to get into college in the future."
Zhao Ruyue was not too worried. Her sister's daughter was a bit like her own two children. Both were very self-conscious and knew how to learn independently.
He has fun when he should play, and studies very seriously when he should study. He is also smart, so it is hard for him not to pass the exam. There is no need for parents to worry about it at all.
Zhao Ruyue said to her sister: "I think you have nothing better to do than worry about it. Your child studied well even though you didn't care about him before. I advise you not to do anything rash just because you have some money in your pocket. It's best to communicate with your child first and listen to his opinions and ideas. Don't think that you are doing it for the good of the child and then make your own decision to enroll him in classes."
This is just my sister. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t dare to say it so bluntly.
After Zhao Ruyuan had some money, she actually thought about finding a cram school for her child: "I see that many parents in the city enroll their children in cram schools. Those with poor grades enroll their children, as well as those with good grades. Many of them also take interest classes and learn talents. If our family doesn't enroll in classes, won't we fall behind?"
"Her grades are slipping now?"
"Not really. I even ranked third in my grade this year!"
"Then why are you spending this money? Too much money bites your pocket? If you really have some spare money, you can ask your child if she wants to take interest classes. If she gets into college in the future and wants to perform some talents, you won't have to sit there and do nothing."
Zhao Ruyuan was persuaded by her: "I will go back and ask the two older children if they are willing to learn. As for the younger one, forget it. He is still playing in the mud, so it would be useless for him to learn."
After Zhao Ruyuan returned, she discussed the matter with her daughter. Lin Cairou learned that it was her second aunt who persuaded her mother, and she thanked Zhao Ruyue privately, saying that she really didn't want to go to cram school as she felt it was a waste of money, but she did want to take interest classes and learn something else.
This incident also reminded Zhao Ruyue of her own children, so she found an opportunity to ask Ning Shiqiu and Ning Shixia, "Do you want to sign up for interest classes to learn some talents?"
Ning Shiqiu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is there a Children's Palace in the county?"
"Not yet, why are you asking this suddenly?"
"I often see the Children's Palace mentioned in textbooks, but I have never seen what it looks like. I am a little curious."
Ning Shixia agreed: "Me too."
Zhao Ruyue suddenly realized that there was actually a Children's Palace in the city. She had taken her children to the city so many times, but had never taken them to the Children's Palace.
As we are free tomorrow, Zhao Ruyue said directly: "We will take you there tomorrow. Today you can think about what you want to learn first. We will ask tomorrow if we can go to learn on the weekend."
The children have to go to school during the weekdays, and her children have a lot of things to do after school. They definitely cannot rush to the city to attend interest classes every day and then rush back home. It is okay for them to go for two days on the weekends.
The two children cheered and ran to the computer to check what they could learn at the Children's Palace.
Zhao Ruyue reminded them: "Didn't Saw used to study in the city? The city to which our county belongs is just a small city. You may not be able to find specific information on the Internet. It is better to ask Saw directly."
The two children hurried to call Yao Ju again.
Yao Ju is also celebrating the New Year in his hometown. During the New Year, his parents seem to have no conflicts at all. They take him back to their hometown. Except that Yao Ju is not very talkative, they look like a normal family of three.
In fact, only he knew that when his parents were behind others' backs, they couldn't help rolling their eyes at each other.
If it weren't for the fact that there were so many relatives coming to his house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, there would be no time to rest. His hometown is also surrounded by relatives, and the house has average sound insulation. He was afraid of being heard by relatives, so they would definitely quarrel as soon as they met.
Yao Ju would inevitably be forced to join them in entertaining relatives and friends who came to pay New Year's greetings.
After receiving calls from Ning Shiqiu and Ning Shixia, Yao Ju finally found an excuse to run back to his room upstairs to answer the phone, getting a rare chance to catch his breath.
After finishing the call, Yao Ju took a deep breath before coming down from upstairs. He stayed upstairs for too long and was inevitably scolded by his parents.
Fortunately, he found an excuse to leave, and by late at night all the guests had finally left.
While his parents were still asleep, he told them, "My interest class teacher called me today and said that the class will start earlier, so I have to go back to class."
His parents took the latest Nokia phone they bought for him this year and took a look at it.
I casually glanced at the call that came in today. The note was indeed "teacher", so I waved my hand and said, "Then go ahead. I'll ask the driver to take you there tomorrow."
If they had taken a closer look at the cell phone number, they would have found out that he was lying, and that the lie was full of loopholes and would not stand up to scrutiny.
Yao Ju took back his phone and left his parents' room. After returning to his own room, he changed the note of the received call number to: My best friend.
