Chapter 423 External Hiring Dispute
"Brother Zhu, do you have someone you trust who needs work and knows the town well?"
Wan Qiqi suddenly asked.
Zhu Chengye understood Wan Qiqi's meaning and prepared to hire someone he trusted from outside.
He mentally went through everyone he knew and said awkwardly, "No, the people I know probably don't need this job!"
Wan Qiqi was taken aback.
Zhu Chengye's words had a different meaning.
The fact that everyone around him has work to do proves that they are all people of status.
Or perhaps, his identity is not as simple as it seems to everyone; he is not just a restaurant owner.
However, Zhu Chengye's identity and family background were not that important to Wan Qiqi.
She could clearly sense that the other party genuinely wanted to run the restaurant well, and that was enough!
However, this also presented her with a problem: she couldn't find a suitable person to deliver the food.
She sighed, “The people I know who are short of work are all from the village. Most of them have never done this before and don’t know the streets and alleys of the town. I’m afraid they can handle it.”
By this point, Wan Qiqi already had a plan in mind.
She has found a candidate, but not a complete candidate; the candidate still needs to be tested.
The two went through everyone around them but still couldn't find a suitable person, so they finally decided to issue a public recruitment notice.
Of course, not just anyone can do this job; there are many requirements listed.
This novel job posting has attracted a lot of attention.
Of course, some of them are from the same industry.
When Wu Gousheng returned from the martial arts school, he saw a line of people waiting at the back gate of the restaurant, including several familiar faces.
Familiarity does not mean recognition, but rather that you have seen it before.
Before Wu Gousheng even entered the restaurant, he noticed a ragged beggar staring at him.
He turned around, walked to the side of the street, casually flipped through the items, and passed by the beggar.
The beggar suddenly grabbed his trouser leg and said in a hoarse voice, "Please have mercy and give me some money."
Wu Gousheng looked down at him, took out two copper coins from his pocket, squatted down and placed them in the man's bowl, and whispered, "Uncle Xiang, what brings you here?"
This Uncle Xiang is the same Uncle Xiang from the beggar district in West Alley.
He wasn't a real beggar; he was just pretending.
And his life is better now than before.
Last time, Wan Qiqi asked Wu Gousheng to deliver things to Uncle Xiang's place and also to repair Uncle Xiang's house so that the people in that area could live in peace.
Uncle Xiang and the others wanted to repay Wan Qiqi, so they volunteered to do things for her.
Of course, Wan Qiqi did not mistreat them; each of them received a monthly allowance.
During this period, almost all the information Wan Qiqi had was obtained from Uncle Xiang and his group.
When Chen Yongnian returned last time, he brought back news of Xiao Yi for Uncle Xiang.
Because Xiao Yi voluntarily confessed his crime and actively cooperated in the labor service, his sentence was reduced.
He should be able to get out in a year at most.
Uncle Xiang was especially grateful for this.
He had no wife or children, and always treated Xiao Yi as his own son. Seeing that Xiao Yi was safe and sound, he was already content.
"The person you asked me to keep an eye on a while ago has made some moves. That person arranged for someone to infiltrate the job applicants' line," Uncle Xiang said, quietly pointing to the people in the line.
Wu Gousheng glanced at it and said, "Okay, I understand. You guys keep asking around, but be careful."
He was about to join in when Uncle Xiang pulled him back and said, "Also... there are several people in the group who were sent by other restaurants. They're not from the restaurants; they were hired by them."
"Okay." Wu Gousheng threw down two more coins before getting up.
He walked slowly forward from the back of the line without making a sound, sizing up the people in line without any regard for their presence.
With a guilty conscience, knowing that Wu Gousheng was Wan Qiqi's confidant, she subconsciously looked away when being scanned, not daring to look at Wu Gousheng, afraid of being recognized.
Some genuine job applicants smiled at Wu Gousheng, hoping to gain his favor and be hired.
Of course, very few people in the group actually wanted to do it; most were just there for the fun of it and out of curiosity.
"Tell me, what's the fastest and safest route from here to the Wang family's house on North Second Street?" Wan Qiqi raised her hand and pinched her brow, looking rather impatient.
There were five job applicants standing opposite her, of all shapes and sizes, tall and short, fat and thin.
One of them had a disdainful look on his face, seemingly very unhappy that the person sitting opposite him was a woman.
But someone else answered quickly and explained the route clearly.
Wan Qiqi then added, "If the road you mentioned were to be congested during the time when students leave the academy, the food would be in a terrible state of disarray before it even reaches the guests."
The person who answered blushed with embarrassment.
Then, the disdainful man said, "You only said you encountered it, not that you are sure. Where can't we go? Why should a woman like you sit here? We want to see Manager Zhu, and Manager Zhu will take charge."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the back of the line immediately echoed his words.
"We want to see Manager Zhu!"
"We want to see Manager Zhu!"
The once quiet queue suddenly erupted into chaos, resembling a quarrel between middle-aged women at a market.
But all the noisy people here are men.
A group of men who believe that women should stay at home and not show their faces in public!
Wan Qiqi remained remarkably calm, not even lifting her eyelids, and quietly drank her tea.
She was actually afraid, but this was her territory, and even if someone caused trouble, he wouldn't be the one to suffer.
Before Wu Gousheng could squeeze in, Pan Zi heard the commotion and rushed in first.
He stopped in front of Wan Qiqi, holding a bone-chopping knife in his hand. He raised the knife and said fiercely, "Let's see who dares to cause trouble!"
