Chapter 63 Temporary Workers Get Familiar with Their Work
At this moment, looking at Xiao Liu's extremely excited expression, Luo Qing felt a little embarrassed.
Xiao Liu is so excited about just a temporary job. Is this kid crazy about looking for a job?
She was the only boss and official employee of this small real estate agency. Xiao Liu looked so excited, as if she had found a great job.
However, Luo Qing could understand. Xiao Liu had been moving around a lot lately, and was still paying for her apartment month-to-month. Although she had reduced the rent and waived the utility bills, she couldn't keep living off her savings. These days, it's frustrating to not be able to earn a living!
Including Luo Qing herself, why did she go out to do part-time work? It was because her real estate store had no business before. Even if she stayed at home every day, she would still have to spend money on food, drink and groceries.
I was reluctant to renovate some of my previous houses because I thought it would cost money and I didn’t have much income.
It’s different now. We have signed a lot of contracts recently. Luo Qing just waves his hand and we spend money and buy, buy, buy.
"Then you can accompany me to Sasa Supermarket later, and we will buy bedding and pillows for the remaining two houses, and see if there are any small daily necessities." Luo Qing said.
Liu Yanran immediately raised her hands to show her agreement, "No problem, I have plenty of energy." Luo Qing couldn't help laughing at her extremely enthusiastic look at work.
It is difficult to renovate these houses that are ready for rent. Firstly, it is expensive. Secondly, large-scale construction will not only affect the surrounding neighbors, but it will also take time to remove the odor from the renovation. As a conscientious real estate agent, Luo Qing still cannot let tenants move in and breathe formaldehyde and other harmful substances.
Therefore, the renovation of some old rentals can only start with some simple steps. Many houses have old-fashioned wooden furniture, and the texture has become more warm and gentle after years. Replace the sofa cover, cover the old-style coffee table with a piece of cloth, add a vase, and lay a rug on the floor, and you will instantly transform it into a warm forest style.
In addition, the lighting fixtures were overhauled and replaced. All chandeliers and light bulbs were replaced with standard ceiling lights, giving tenants a brighter and more secure feel. The sink and kitchen countertops were also sealed where necessary, and the window sealants were manually replaced.
The last time Luo Qing bought 100-thread-count bedding at Sasa Supermarket, it felt very good after washing and putting it on. He took Liu Yanran with him and directly picked up five more sets, threw them into the washing machine to wash them first, and then hurried downstairs to dry them after washing.
Luo Qing and Liu Yanran were very busy that day, but both of them were tired but happy.
Luo Qing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he thought that the renovated house would be rented out in seconds.
When Liu Yanran thought about the fact that she had become the first employee of Ping An Real Estate and that she had someone "above her", she had to try very hard to control herself from laughing out loud.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yanran followed Luo Qing to eat takeout and drink dessert at Ping An Real Estate, and watched Luo Qing create an employee account for her in the [Ping An House Hunting] system.
"Xiao Liu, I'm going out on Friday, so you can first get familiar with the houses I took you to today." Luo Qing said to Liu Yanran.
Today is already Wednesday, Liu Yanran nodded very seriously.
Today they have a total of three apartments, and Unit 401, Building 11 is a fully qualified "daily rental apartment".
There is also 503 in the same unit and 203 in Unit 2 as spare daily rental rooms. All that’s left is for the newly purchased bedding to be dried and put up.
Now my sister is teaching her how to operate the house-checking system. It is very simple and the internal system is extremely convenient. It can be accessed via computers and mobile phones. You can add tags and filter houses of different prices, house types and conditions with just one click.
"Come on, Xiao Liu, come over and try it. Your account should be fine."
There is only one computer on the desk of Ping An Real Estate, a big customer. Luo Qing is now thinking about finding a laptop from home and bringing it over.
Luo Qing and Liu Yanran exchanged seats. Liu Yanran sat in front of the computer and started operating the mouse.
"Sister, is this a program made by our store? The webpage looks quite advanced." Liu Yanran said as she operated.
This is true, not flattery.
In fact, the more she looked at the four big words "Ping'an House Hunting", the more she felt that the font looked familiar.
The web interface is simple and smooth, and very easy to operate.
"Yes, I asked a friend to do it. The programmer in your brother-in-law's company took it as a private job and didn't charge any money." Luo Qing supported his chin.
When she decided to open Ping An Real Estate, she was full of enthusiasm and even asked her friends to make the website, app and mini program.
Recently, her [Ping An House Hunting] system finally came in handy!
"By the way, Xiao Liu, take photos of the two remaining houses tomorrow and then update them to the system. You can use your mobile phone, which will be a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with the operation." Luo Qing said.
"Okay sis, no problem."
Liu Yanran responded immediately. She opened her copy of the phone and looked at the downloaded [Ping An House Hunting] APP next to the [Rugui] APP. Suddenly, she realized why it looked familiar.
The font used in the cover design of the [Ping An House Hunting] APP is the same as that of the [Rugui] APP.
"Sister, your APP design is also very beautiful." Liu Yanran said.
"Yeah, well, back then I had to ask for a lot of favors. Programmers, artists, and several friends took turns helping me, and in the end I just treated me to a meal." Luo Qing said.
"Yes, the debt of favor is actually the most difficult to repay. The friendship between friends cannot be quantified with money. It's all about helping each other. You help me this time, and I will help you next time. It's also because you and your wife are so kind, and you have made so many good friends who are willing to do this for you." Liu Yanran said.
"Yeah." Luo Qing smiled and looked at her.
“Friendship is not about money, it is about immeasurable things.”
Liu Yanran familiarized herself with the system and suddenly spoke:
"Sister, what if the house I'm familiar with isn't enough for the weekend? Also, what if there's another hide-and-seek situation like the kids did last night?" Liu Yanran was a little worried.
She didn't return to reality, but Lin Lin and the other players from the Renhe Art Museum would undoubtedly post on the forums once they returned, igniting the players' enthusiasm once again.
I don’t know if there will be players who will come here to try their luck even without business cards during these three days.
Luo Qing was going to be away for three days. As the saying goes, when there's no tiger in the mountains, the monkey becomes king. Xiao Liu had just taken over, and she wasn't afraid of the players coming, but what if something strange happened on the night she rented the room she was looking at?
My sister and brother-in-law are not here, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Although there are several official players here, Liu Yanran really doesn't know if they can deal with the weirdness in Ping'an Home.
"It's okay, just rent it with confidence. If there are any small problems, I'll write you a list and you can just call or knock on the door to find someone." Luo Qing said.
"You've met Sister Wang and her husband on the third floor of our unit. If you need anything repaired, just go find them. My husband is good at repairing things. He can do things like changing lights or pulling wires."
"If you have any problems during the day, call Uncle Qin, the security guard. If Uncle Qin is not available, you can also contact Sister Wang and the others."
"If you're showing a tenant an apartment and a neighbor in one building is unhappy, and a fight breaks out, you can find Aunt Gao on the seventh floor. No one wants to argue with Aunt Gao. If Aunt Gao isn't around, call this number and ask the butcher in Building 7 to sort it out."
As Luo Qing spoke, he wrote out a list for Liu Yanran.
"If your child is disobedient, you can find Sister Zhang downstairs from my house, or Brother Liu and his wife across the street. They are very good at educating children. Sister Zhang and Brother Liu both go out to work, but Sister-in-law is always at home."
Liu Yanran opened her mouth and said, "No, this list is full of neighbors in their unit."
This, this, this... When Liu Yanran thought that this was the backup list specially written by her sister, she was shocked. Why did she feel that everyone in Unit 1, Building 9 was a villain?
"Sister, you get along really well with our neighbors." Liu Yanran praised.
"Of course, it's necessary. We real estate agents must build good relationships with the residents, doormen, and neighbors in the community. You will have to do the same in the future. You already live here now, so just work hard and you will become familiar with the residents in the community little by little." Luo Qing said.
"What's that old saying? A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. If you have a good relationship with your neighbor, you can just knock on the door and they will come to help you at the critical moment."
Liu Yanran thought that it would be a little difficult for her as a "foreigner" to do this, but fortunately, she was now her elder sister's subordinate, so it was not a problem for her to take advantage of the power of others.
Bah, bah, bah, not a dog!
"Sister, as a temporary worker, do I need to wear a professional uniform?" Liu Yanran asked.
She remembered that many real estate agents in real life wore suits, which generally did not fit them well.
Luo Qing waved his hand: "No, we don't need these fancy things. Just wear what you usually wear and be approachable."
"What about working hours?"
"From 9am to 5pm, you can be flexible and go out for a meal or something. Just hang a note at the door. In most cases, there aren't many customers anyway."
Xiao Liu was a temporary worker, so Luo Qing wouldn't act like a boss and demand anything of her. Just kidding, as a boss, she was always late and left early, so how could she have the nerve to demand that a temporary worker be on time?
"I've transferred today's salary to you." Luo Qing said, and transferred 150 ghost coins to Xiao Liu on his mobile phone.
Oh, this also means she has become a boss. Luo Qing was a little happy for a while, and she didn’t know whether her Ping An Real Estate could become bigger and stronger.
Luo Qing decided to ask Liu Yanran to work as a temporary worker at Ping An Real Estate after careful consideration.
First, there's been a noticeable increase in the number of non-locals inquiring about renting apartments. Furthermore, some tenants who rented from the Renhe Art Museum mentioned that a fellow villager had posted a message in the group chat, and they didn't even know the person's name. This demonstrates the close connections between non-locals.
It has been just over a week since Xiao Liu was the first to rent a house. Luo Qing also took on other part-time jobs in the meantime and rented out 9 houses in just one week!
These include 201, 203, 501, 503, and 703 in Unit 1 of Building 9, 301 and 503 in Unit 2 of Building 9, and 301 and 603 in Unit 1 of Building 10.
What does this mean? The rental market is booming!
Not every building has many vacant houses. Luo Qing calculated that at the current rate of renting, the houses in Ping'an Home will not last long, so she must develop new housing.
Just like in the Harmonious Residential Area, the number of houses registered with Ping An Real Estate is also limited. After returning from this hot spring trip, if Xiao Liu gradually gets used to the real estate agency work and has no problems with the business, and can work in the store, Luo Qing plans to go to the Harmonious Residential Area to familiarize herself and research other communities.
Second, Luo Qing felt that Xiao Liu brought him wealth.
There's a saying that goes, "A restaurant might have no one at the door, but once someone walks in, customers will flock in like crazy, making it incredibly popular." While Xiao Liu might not be one of those people, Luo Qing was hoping for good luck!
Most Ghost City residents disliked this kind of temporary work. Local residents were given preferential treatment when seeking employment, often with good conditions. They tended to seek stable employment, so part-time job groups often had a lot of unfilled work. Xiao Liu's willingness to take the job was a blessing.
"Okay, Xiao Liu, you're almost familiar with it now. You can go home today. Aren't you tired after a day's work? Go home and take a shower."
At four o'clock in the afternoon at Ping'an Real Estate in Guicheng, Luo Qing called Liu Yanran off from get off work.
In the real world, the players of Renhe Art Museum who returned in the morning also logged onto the forum after cooperating with the official Special Affairs Bureau in various places.
In the [Rugui] forum, a preview post published by a well-known player account was pushed to the most popular position.
