Urban Life: Our Youth

I looked down and saw a fat man walking across from me. He was in his 30s. He was not tall and had a bare head. He had a thick and long gold necklace on his already short neck. I knew him. He was Xinhua Mobile. The owner of the hypermarket, He Yongji, is known as He Laowu.

"Hello, Mr. He!" Manager Zhang said with a smile.

"The leader came to us today to inspect our work?" He Laowu said.

"How dare you? I brought Li Shaozhe over today to have a look. From now on, these two sections of the company's counter will be handed over to him. I hope Mr. He will take good care of him in the future."

"I see," He Laowu glanced at me, and then continued, "Manager Zhang, what can I say? The location of these two counters in the store is too far away, and it costs [-] a year. The rent is not low, and it is not easy for us to do business. The money we invest must be recouped with certainty, don’t you think? Therefore, when you told me last time, I didn’t wanted."

When I heard this, I thought that no one wanted these two sections of counters. However, He Laowu is really good at calculating. If you have more than 100 sections of counters, do you still care about these two sections? If you just rent it, won't it be over? Why bother catching up with me?

"Mr. He, what you said makes sense. I understand it completely. However, it doesn't matter. These two counters have been leased to Li Shaozhe. He has just graduated from college and is still a layman in business. If you have time, I would like to ask Mr. He for more advice. Teach him and give him some experience." Manager Zhang said.

"Mr. He, please give me some advice." I said.

"This is easy to say, as long as you abide by the rules here and don't take our orders, it will be fine." He Laowu said.

I thought to myself, what does grabbing an order mean?

"Mr. He, don't worry about this. His business has no conflict with yours, and there is no such thing as grabbing orders." Manager Zhang said.

"That's good." He Laowu said and left.

I handwritten a recruitment advertisement and pasted it on the door of the store, and then left the store with Manager Zhang.

Eleven at night.

I finished taking a shower and was just about to take a rest when my cell phone rang. When I saw it, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who are you?" I asked.

"Hello, boss, my name is Zhao Lanlan. I saw a recruitment advertisement posted by you today. Have you recruited all the people?" There was a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, her voice was a bit squeaky.

"Oh, not yet."

"Then how much do you pay per month?"

"Two thousand and five thousand." I said through gritted teeth.

"So few."

"To be honest, I don't know how much money I can earn in a month. This salary is already beyond my budget."

"How many days a week do you work?"

"Five days." I thought to myself, for the other two days, I will rest, so I can take care of it myself.

"How many hours do you work every day?"

"Eight to 11:30 in the morning, three to six in the afternoon." I thought to myself, at noon, after I get off work, I can change her shift.

"You work very long hours. If so, how can I have time to play mahjong? Just because something happened to my partner recently, I lost my luck. I lost more than I won, so I wanted to find someone In class, passing the time.”

"There's nothing we can do about it. I've filled in all my rest time and try my best to change your shift so that you can rest more."

"Well, it seems that your boss is quite humane. Let's meet tomorrow morning and talk about it."

"can."
