Chapter 908: Countering the Move (Page 1/2)
The next morning, Lin Man arrived at the clothing store early. Before she could open the door, she posted a recruitment notice on the door.
Zhang Fen, who was standing by, felt a pang in her heart when she saw this. Could it be that Aunt Lin knew that she was planning to change jobs?
She asked cautiously, "Auntie Lin, why is your clothing store hiring again?"
"Business is so busy that we can't handle it. We need to hire one more person to help share the work with you." Lin Man glanced at Zhang Fen and said nonchalantly.
Wang Yan looked at the requirements on the recruitment notice, thought for a moment, and then realized that Aunt Lin was planning to fire Zhang Fen and hire someone else to replace her?
Then she'd better stay away from Zhang Fen to avoid getting implicated.
She couldn't understand what was wrong with Zhang Fen. It was so comfortable to work in Aunt Lin's shop. Not only was the salary high, but lunch was also provided.
If they did something wrong, Aunt Lin would point it out and teach them how to do it. But Zhang Fen didn't appreciate it at all, and she wanted to quit after only working for a few days. She is really a traitor!
Zhang Fen didn't think much about it and thought what Lin Man said was true. Anyway, her mother agreed, so she switched jobs to work in Aunt Song's store, while her mother stayed at the Huo family.
Not long after Lin Man posted the recruitment notice, several young girls came to apply for the jobs in the morning.
Lin Man looked at each person carefully, and finally chose a girl with a particularly pretty face, tall stature, and a very sunny personality.
The girl's name is Fang Jia. She is 23 years old, married and has two children, the older one is three and a half years old and the younger one is over one year old.
Lin Man asked her curiously, "Comrade Xiao Fang, since you're already married, why did you suddenly want to find a job?"
Fang Jia's eyes dimmed a little, and she replied softly, "Boss, I came out to work to save money for my husband's medical treatment.
Last month, my husband was in a serious car accident. Both his arms were broken and he needed to be fed.
Now he can't work, so I have to find a job to earn more money for his medical treatment."
Lin Man couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy when she heard this. She then asked, "If you go out to work, who will take care of your husband and children?"
Fang Jia quickly explained: "My mother-in-law will take care of them. We live with my parents-in-law. My mother-in-law, like me, doesn't have a job, so she can stay at home to take care of my husband and children."
Lin Man: "Okay, then go back and tell your family and come to work tomorrow!"
"Okay, thank you, boss lady." Fang Jia replied happily. She was looking forward to this job.
"You're welcome. The employees here all make 30 yuan a month. I'll raise your salary after you've worked for three months." The proprietress continued to introduce the treatment in the store.
Fang Jia was secretly happy after hearing this. Although the salary was not too high, it was already a good income for her.
"Xiao Fang, let me tell you about the working hours. We start work at 8 am and get off work at 5:30 pm. At noon, we will have the employee meal at the hot pot restaurant on the third floor.
If you need to take care of the children at home, you can go back to eat, but you must be back before 2 o'clock. "
Lin Man explained the working hours and meal arrangements in detail. Considering that Fang Jia had children to take care of, she gave her some freedom to arrange her lunch time.
However, Fang Jia said without hesitation: "If there is nothing else to do, I will eat here at noon. If there is something urgent at home, I will ask for leave to go back and take a look."
She didn't want to cause trouble to the store because of her personal reasons. Since she came out to work, she had to work well.
My mother-in-law will help take care of my husband and children, and she can take care of the children and husband after get off work.
Seeing that Lin Man had decided on the person so quickly, Zhang Fen felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. What if Aunt Song’s store couldn’t be opened and she was fired by Aunt Lin?
When Fang Jia returned home, she immediately told her husband Gu Ming the good news.
As soon as they entered the house, Fang Jia sat next to her husband, holding their little daughter, and said excitedly, "A Ming, I found a job."
Gu Ming looked at Mingyan's wife with a distressed look on his face, "Jiajia, I'm really sorry. Our child is so young, and I asked you to go out and find a job."
"Silly boy, I found an easy job, selling clothes to customers."
"Are you going to be a salesperson? How much does it cost to buy a job?" Gu Ming asked nervously.
Fang Jia knew her husband had misunderstood, so she said, "I work for a private clothing store, not a supply and marketing cooperative. I don't need to pay for the job."
"So you're working for a private boss. Is that hard work?"
"How hard can selling clothes be? It's just selling clothes to customers, not hard labor. How can it be hard?
We get 30 yuan a month, and after three months, the boss said she'll give all of us a raise. I don't know by how much, but it should be a few yuan."
"That's good."
Gu Ming was originally an accountant at the General Administration of Grain. On that day, he followed his superiors to the countryside for an inspection. As a result, their car collided with a tractor loaded with grain on the country road.

No one was injured, but the driver in the front seat suffered a forehead injury and fractures in both hands. He was given three months' leave to return to work after his fractures healed.
Now my father-in-law is the only one in the family who works as a boiler operator in the factory. Gu Ming has a younger brother and two younger sisters. The older sister is married, the younger brother is in college, and the younger sister graduated from high school and is playing at home.
Gu Ming's mother, Huang Huaying, was filled with joy when she learned that her daughter-in-law Fang Jia had found an easy job.
She said to Fang Jia with a smile: "Jia Jia, just go to work and I will take care of the two children at home.
You two should save more money, after all, sending two children to school will be a considerable expense."
After listening to his mother's words, Gu Ming nodded repeatedly in agreement and continued:
"Mom, now that we have reform and opening up, there are job seekers everywhere. Do you think it would be possible for my younger sister to go out and find a job as well?
This will not only reduce the financial burden on the family, but also allow her to exercise herself.”
Huang Huaying's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had come up with a good idea. She said excitedly, "Yes, since it's so easy to find a job now and you don't have to spend money to buy a job like before, then you should let your sister go out and try her luck."
After saying that, Huang Huaying turned to look at her daughter-in-law Fang Jia and asked expectantly, "Jia Jia, is your boss's place hiring? If so, you must tell us right away!"
Fang Jia smiled and replied, "I'm not too sure, but if the boss lady is really hiring, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible."
At this time, my brother-in-law was still in school, and my sister-in-law was only eighteen years old, two years away from marriageable age. She had nothing to do and usually stayed at home playing and helping her mother-in-law with housework.
If a job can be found for my sister-in-law, the burden on my parents-in-law will undoubtedly be much lighter.
She and her husband would also be much more relaxed. After all, her husband is the eldest son of the Gu family and has a very heavy burden on his shoulders, otherwise she would not have thought of looking for a job outside.
On Fang Jia's first day at work, Lin Man noticed this unique new employee.
She found that Fang Jia was particularly proactive and always took the initiative to attract customers. She was also very eloquent and good at speaking, which left a deep impression on customers.
Not only that, Fang Jia also has a tenacity that little girls don't have.
Even when she encounters customers who deliberately make things difficult for her, she can deal with it calmly and always find a way to solve the problem.
In the afternoon, Lin Man witnessed Fang Jia dealing with a difficult matter.
A female customer brought a child to the store and let the child steal clothes when no one was paying attention.
After Fang Jia found out, he did not make a fuss like others did. Instead, he calmly pulled the female customer and the child aside and talked to them softly.
Lin Man looked at the way Fang Jia handled things and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Although Fang Jia is a few years older than them, he is indeed much more mature mentally.
She handles things swiftly, decisively and effectively, completely unlike Zhang Fen, who panics when encountering problems and either loudly blames customers, becomes speechless when encountering strong customers, or just cries.
After the customer left with her child, her face flushed, Lin Man slowly walked over to Fang Jia, a smile on her face, and gently patted Fang Jia on the shoulder, saying softly, "You're doing great. Keep it up!"
Hearing Lin Man's praise, Fang Jia's face flushed with shyness. She smiled shyly, then lowered her voice slightly and said to Fang Jia:
"Sister Man, I've actually been thinking about a question: how can I prevent something like this from happening again? I've come up with a good idea, but I'm not sure if it'll work. Could you give me some advice?"
Lin Man looked at Fang Jia curiously and encouraged her, "Oh? Tell me about it."
Fang Jia cleared his throat and continued, "Well, I think we can put a bench in our store specifically for the children brought by customers to sit on.
You see, many children nowadays are very naughty and like to run around everywhere. Sometimes when adults are not paying attention, they will pick up clothes from the store and run away. Sometimes it is really difficult for us to notice.
If we have this bench, children can sit and play on it, which will not only not disturb other customers but also reduce the chances of them taking clothes carelessly. What do you think of this idea?"
Lin Man thought carefully about Fang Jia's suggestion, then said slowly, "Well, your idea is quite good.
However, I think the most important thing is that our store staff should pay more attention to the movements of customers and try to avoid such situations."
"Sister Man is right. No matter what, we must keep our eyes and ears open and pay special attention to the customers' movements to prevent them from stealing clothes and running away without paying."
