Chapter 800: Don't bow to life
Lu Miao stroked his chest lightly, slightly stunned.
Seeing Chen Xiangdong accompanying him, he knew what was going on.
"We agreed on ten o'clock. I thought you would have to wait a little longer even if you were early."
He put down the simple vase and glanced at his watch.
Seeing the interviewer's uneasiness, Lu Miao's voice softened a lot:
"Don't be nervous, sit down first and let's talk in detail."
Lin Xian responded implicitly: "Okay..."
Chen Xiangdong brought the people here and planned to leave.
Lin Xian had just taken a step forward when she saw him turn around. She instantly showed her fear and shouted:
"Brother Chen!"
Lu Miao saw this and said with a knowing smile:
"This is her first time dealing with this kind of situation, so she must be quite worried and scared. You should stay with us."
Chen Xiangdong thought about it and decided that he could just be considered a half-guarantor and sit down to see what happened.
If Lin Xian did something inappropriate, he would be able to stop it in time.
This is to avoid being forced into the job and causing unpleasantness later.
Chen Xiangdong closed the door and sat down at the table with him.
Lu Miao smiled warmly, lifted her legs and lowered her skirt to the side before sitting down at the table.
She asked Lin Xian to introduce herself.
Finding that it was similar to what Chen Xiangdong had said before, he nodded in understanding and asked a few questions.
Lin Xian's answer was quite standard.
Lu Miao was silent for a moment as he considered the matter.
The little girl just turned nineteen and has only a primary school diploma.
Although they may not have a high level of education, in the current situation, it is very rare for a girl to have a primary school diploma.
Besides, he has delicate features and his personal image is acceptable.
I'm just timid and lack confidence, and it's a bit difficult to hold the scene...
Lu Miao frowned slightly in thought, his fair fingertips unconsciously tapping the edge of the table.
Chen Xiangdong raised his chin, put his hands around his shoulders, and tilted his head back to look at her straight in the eye.
He didn't say a word and gave her the initiative.
On the contrary, Lin Xian clenched her hands nervously, sitting face to face with Lu Miao across the table, feeling extremely nervous.
Her eyes moved hesitantly, finally following the white, slender finger on the table.
Stay on that gentle and beautiful face.
The woman looked delicate and gentle, and her whole body exuded an indescribable kindness and gentleness.
But she could always feel an extreme sense of oppression.
At first, Lin Xian didn't understand why.
It was not until much later, when life gradually improved and her salary was not only enough to support her family but also to meet her physical and mental needs, that she gradually realized the reason.
It turns out that feeling of oppression stems from the inferiority complex of an ordinary girl.
When you meet someone who is so amazing, even though you know there is no comparison, you subconsciously can't help but compare yourself to them.
After realizing that there was indeed a huge gap, I couldn't help but feel frustrated, inferior and self-pitying.
They are all girls, how come they can be so beautiful and noble?
Is she really that ordinary?
It's really enviable, but also really frustrating...
Lin Xian lowered her head and pursed her lips, feeling that there was no way she would be chosen.
But she was unwilling to give up.
At this moment, she may be ordinary.
So is she going to remain so ordinary in the future?
No, she doesn't want this.
She also wants to live a decent and enviable life!
"Director Lu, do you think I can do this?"
Lin Xian looked at Lu Miao and said bluntly:
"I usually have a lot of personal time. If you think I'm not suitable for something, you can tell me and I can learn and adjust!"
“…”
Lu Miao was silent for a moment, then asked her, "Do you think you can do it?"
Lin Xian was stunned, her mouth moving faster than her brain: "I don't know, but I hope I can."
"OK."
Lu Miao nodded, smiled gently and said, "Then let's give it a try."
"ah?"
Lin Xian was stunned.
What does try, try mean?
Is she over it?
Lu Miao did not miss the determination that flashed across Lin Xian's eyes just now.
It is a good thing not to compromise with life and to have the will to fight.
During this period, self-employed individuals were just emerging and their number was very few.
It is even more impossible to find a clerk who fully meets the requirements.
If you want to do what you want, you have to teach and start from scratch.
The one in front of me might be a potential stock that can be trained.
Since Lin Xian refused to admit defeat, Lu Miao was willing to give her a chance to try.
"I'll probably need a week to prepare here. If you're free, you can come over here and help with some work and get familiar with the place."
"Wait until the store officially opens before you start working. Initially, you'll be considered an intern and your salary will be 18 yuan a month. If you perform well in the future, your monthly salary will be 22 yuan. Consider it and if you think it's suitable, we can discuss the next step."
Lu Miao explained the salary situation briefly.
Lin Xian's family runs a noodle stall, and she has been following her mother around since she was a child, doing odd jobs and doing accounting. Almost as soon as Lu Miao finished speaking, she had already figured out the accounts in her mind.
The monthly salary for interns is 18 yuan, the same as that of factory apprentices.
After officially becoming a regular employee, you can get 22 yuan.
On the assembly line of a state-owned factory, a first-level female worker who does not require any technical skills earns about the same.
To be precise, it's 50 cents less than hers.
Eating out is expensive, so she can bring food from home to work, which saves a lot.
The fixed expenses are the travel expenses.
Taking the bus back and forth costs eight cents a day, which is two dollars and forty cents a month.
Take into account the food consumption at home and deduct any miscellaneous items.
At eighteen yuan a month, she could save at least eight or nine yuan...
Eight or nine yuan!
She and her mother are the only ones who depend on each other at home.
They are all weak laborers and cannot support their families through physical work.
The noodle stalls are run in secluded places because they are afraid of being caught for speculation and profiteering or for running private businesses.
After deducting various operating expenses every month, the remaining money is only about ten yuan, which is enough to provide for the family.
If she could get this job, her family would become much richer!
"Sure, sure, no problem, I can do it!"
Lin Xian expressed her eagerness to get the job.
Lu Miao smiled and nodded, then raised his hand and pressed it down.
After Lin Xian calmed down, she continued:
"Most of the people we read faces for are young girls, so sometimes..."
Lu Miao paused, afraid that if he said "fashion", Lin Xian wouldn't understand, so he changed his words temporarily:
"You should be fashionable and pay attention to your personal appearance at work. In order to better display the products, I will get you some small accessories like hair ties and hair flowers. You will need to wear them at work."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Xian nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice.
Lu Miao looked her up and down, thought for a moment and said:
"Here's a tape measure. Let me measure your size. You can wear your work clothes when you get to work."
"Still have work clothes?"
"Um."
Lu Miao nodded, got up and went outside to find a tape measure.
The work clothes were actually decided on at the last minute.
The decoration style of the store is really not suitable for the daily wear of ordinary families.
She didn't want to make things difficult for others and force them to match their clothes themselves, so she just did it herself.
