Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 60 Sweetness

"Recruitment Notice:
Hiring a courier, requiring familiarity with Hong Kong Island's topography... Base salary: 800 yuan, commission from delivery is extra..."

The woman read the content of the recruitment notice, then turned around and pulled over the man who was drinking a bottle of Vitasoy with a silly smile:
"Hey, Xiaojun, this job is perfect for you! Didn't you run around the streets for half a year?"

The man sipped his straw as he approached the job posting and immediately shook his head: "No, no! Only 800 yuan! I already make almost 2000 yuan a month delivering chickens and ducks!"

The woman patted him and said unhappily:
"Silly boy, 800 yuan is your base salary! It's written in the book that you get commission for every delivery! And do you know what others call you? They call you a whore! How are you going to find a girlfriend in the future if you keep doing this..."

Thinking of something, the woman waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. You have a wife back home in mainland China, so just ignore what I said! Let's go!"

The man grabbed the woman who turned around and said, "Hey, they're hiring registrars here. 3000 yuan a month. Do you want to give it a try?"

The woman waved her hand dismissively. "I don't want to! I work at McDonald's now, it's a foreign company! Do you know what a foreign company is?"

"Just working for the foreign devils?"

"You! Foreign companies are large international companies, they are all rich and powerful! You are so stupid, you won't understand even if I tell you! Go away!" the woman snorted.

The man finished the Vitasoy in his hand in one breath, kicked up the bicycle stand with one foot, swung his leg over it, and then waited for the woman to sit on the back with a silly smile.

The woman sat in the back seat, held the man's waist, and muttered softly: "You said there was a car, but it turned out to be a bicycle..."

But as the bicycle wheels turned, she quickly put aside her unhappiness, basking in the sunshine, and humming softly to the music on the street:

"Sweet, your smile is sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, in the spring breeze~"

……

The next day, Dongfeng Express.

The shop was bustling with customers coming in and out. Even though Li Xiaojun had only been in Hong Kong for half a year and hadn't seen much, he could tell that the shop was doing very well.

"Sir, you can fill out the express delivery form yourself, or you can go to the registration desk and line up and ask the registrar to fill it out for you!"

Li Xiaojun quickly said politely: "I'm here to find a job!"

"Oh, then come this way. That's the boss's office. Please wait at the door for a moment."

Li Xiaojun walked in the direction he was going. When he reached the door of an office, he suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Li Qiao! You are looking for a job here too!"

It turned out that among the people waiting at the door at this time, there was the woman who was with me yesterday!

Li Qiao saw Li Xiaojun and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, but she quickly covered it up and said, "No! I came here to send a package and took a look by the way!"

Li Xiaojun approached her with a silly smile: "That's right~ You're so amazing, and it's so lucky to work at McDonald's! And you can even speak English..."

But just then, the office door opened: "Next! Li Qiao!"

Li Qiao avoided Li Xiaojun's gaze and didn't care about the embarrassment. She quickly tidied her hair with her hands and walked into the office.

Li Xiaojun scratched his head, as if he understood something, but also seemed not to understand.

After a moment, the door opened again and Li Qiao walked out with his head lowered.

Li Xiaojun hurriedly went to greet him with a smile. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Qiao speak first: "You go in. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

Li Xiaojun retracted his outstretched hand, glanced at Li Qiao's back, and walked back to the office. Inside the office, Ye Dongsheng shook his head.

To be honest, he was quite satisfied with Li Qiao's business ability. He had worked as a waiter at McDonald's, so there was no problem with his service. He could also speak a little English, which was a plus.

But there was one thing he couldn't accept: the registrar position here required full-time work! From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., he had to be here.

But this Li Qiao had several part-time jobs at the same time: a waitress at McDonald's, a florist at a flower shop, and a cleaner at an English class...

How can this be possible?!

Maybe Li Qiao could earn more by working a few more jobs, but Dongfeng Express couldn't accept that!

3000 Hong Kong dollars wasn't considered a high salary in Hong Kong in 85, but it was definitely above average. It was even higher than what a waiter at a high-end McDonald's would make! Even if you didn't want to work, there were plenty of people willing to do it!
Well, back then, McDonald's was considered a high-end restaurant by ordinary citizens, even in Hong Kong Island. Later, as Hong Kong's economy took off and residents' incomes increased, McDonald's gradually became a budget restaurant.

dong dong.

Hearing two knocks on the door, Ye Dongsheng looked up and saw a young man standing at the door. He leaned forward and said, "Hello, my name is Li Xiaojun, and I'm here looking for a job!"

"Come in and close the door."

Ye Dongsheng looked at the young man. He was wearing a very old-fashioned suit, which made his already somewhat dull temperament even more prominent.

He couldn't help but smile. Just now, Li Qiao, and now Li Xiaojun, he was also sure of the identities of these two people in his heart.

Ye Dongsheng asked with a smile: "Are you here to apply for the courier position? Why are you wearing a suit? We don't wear this at work!"

Li Xiaojun touched the suit on his body and explained with a simple smile: "My aunt asked me to wear it. She said it was a William Houghton suit. After I put it on, others will definitely want me!"

William Horton was a veteran Hollywood movie star who actually passed away in 81. However, his aunt, who had a one-night stand with William Horton, was obsessed with that beautiful past all her life and could not get over it.

Ye Dongsheng smiled. Although the young man in front of him was naive, his smile was very pure. Even though he was wearing an old-fashioned suit, he looked quite handsome.

"Are you from the mainland?"

Li Xiaojun answered very honestly, "I've been in Hong Kong Island for half a year. Although I don't speak English yet, I can already speak Cantonese. I worked delivering chickens and ducks for the first six months, so I'm very familiar with the streets and alleys of Hong Kong Island!"

Ye Dongsheng was quite satisfied with this. Being a courier was really suitable for him.

Then he asked with interest: "How much did you earn in your previous job?"

"About 2000 yuan."

"Are you changing jobs to earn more?"

Li Xiaojun said obediently, "Of course it's better to earn more! Actually, I'm quite satisfied with 2000 yuan. It's much higher than what I earned back home! But my friends think I smell like chicken shit and call me a chicken man..."

Ye Dongsheng couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this. This kid is really honest and says whatever is on his mind!
"Don't worry, our deliveries are all clean! When you come to work for us in the future, you will definitely not smell like chicken shit!"

Li Xiaojun couldn't help but show joy when he heard this: "Boss, are you willing to take me?"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and nodded: "Come to our store to work tomorrow. I guarantee you will earn more than 2000 yuan!"
