Chapter 272 Zhou Ting's Wife
After personally visiting the shop at Lotus Pond, Bai Zhenzhu had a clear idea of what to expect.
The next day, she called Dou Bin to her home to discuss the renovation.
She didn't plan to make any major changes to that shop.
The shop is new, and the floor is terrazzo, but some parts of the walls are quite dirty.
Bai Zhenzhu discussed the renovation plan with Dou Bin.
The walls need to be repainted, some more lights need to be added to the ceiling, and then there's the cash register and shelves; once the dimensions are measured, they can be directly transported from Guo Yongliang's furniture factory.
Bai Zhenzhu has difficulty walking, so she can only leave these tasks to Dou Bin to run errands for her.
Bai Zhenzhu felt bad about troubling Dou Bin to go to Teapot Alley so often lately, so she gave Dou Bin three hundred yuan as a running fee.
Dou Bin readily accepted, saying that he would personally oversee the renovations of her stores whenever he had time.
After dinner, the whole family was enjoying the cool air in the yard when suddenly someone knocked on the gate.
Sister Luo went to open the door, and Zhou Ting, her son, and a girl walked in.
Zhou Ting came in carrying things, and his mother was holding the hand of a girl wearing a light yellow shirt.
It was still light outside. The girl had her hair tied in a ponytail, and her hair was long, black, and she had delicate features and fair skin.
It must be Zhou Ting's childhood sweetheart.
I never expected Zhou Ting to bring the person back. This comrade is really something.
"Mr. Bai, my mother and I are back. This is an old hen that my mother brought for you, along with a bucket of eggs."
Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly invited them to sit down.
"Why did you bring anything? Hope your trip back went smoothly?"
Zhou Ting's mother, Zhang Cuie, with a face full of gratitude, led the girl over:
"Successfully, the marriage arrangements for both children have been finalized. Mr. Bai, this is my future daughter-in-law, Du Lingling. Lingling, this is Mr. Bai."
Du Lingling was a little embarrassed, but she still mustered up the courage to look at Bai Zhenzhu and greet her as "Hello, President Bai".
Zhang Cuie then said:
"Mr. Bai, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't let us drive back, Lingling and my Zhou Ting would have been in trouble and almost missed our chance."
Bai Zhenzhu was also very happy that Zhou Ting's wife had been saved:
"This is called 'true love prevails in the end.' Did you bring Lingling out here to find her work?"
Zhang Cuie said shyly:
"We're here because we want to apologize to Mr. Bai in person..."
Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly waved her hand:
"Don't say that, tell me what's on your mind."
Zhou Ting said embarrassedly:
“Lingling is planning to find work in Rongcheng, but my house is still empty and there is no way for anyone to live there for the time being.”
"Mr. Bai, could Lingling stay with my mother for now? She can move in once I've furnished the new house."
Bai Zhenzhu, not taking it seriously, smiled and said:
"Sure, only you and your son are living in that house right now, Lingling can go and stay there."
What kind of job is she looking for?
Zhou Ting scratched his head and looked at Du Lingling.
Du Lingling was a little bolder this time, and said shyly:
"I don't know anything, but I'm not afraid of hardship. I'm willing to work as a waiter or dishwasher in a restaurant."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Ting.
Agnes Chow hurriedly said:
"You don't need to serve dishes. There's no rush for you to find a job. We'll find one slowly."
Bai Zhenzhu thought for a moment:
"Did Lingling go to school?"
Du Lingling nodded: "They went to high school, but didn't get into university."
Zhou Ting said, "She used to teach in our village for two years, but she had a falling out with her parents because of me and lost her job."
She's a woman of strong character.
At this point, Zhou Ting and Zhang Cuie prepared to leave:
"Mr. Bai, thank you. I will get the house ready as soon as possible."
Bai Zhenzhu thought for a moment and said:
“My cosmetics store near Lotus Pond is about to open, and I need to hire people. If Lingling is willing, she can come and work at my store.”
Zhang Cuie hurriedly waved her hand:
"No, no, Mr. Bai, we can't trouble you any further."
Neither Zhou Ting nor Du Lingling said anything.
Bai Zhenzhu continued:
“Lingling went to high school, so she must know some English. It just so happens that some of the cosmetic brands I have are imported, and people without education can’t do that.”
“It’s not that I’m taking care of you, I’m really hiring. If Lingling is willing, the first month’s trial period is 200, and afterwards it’s a base salary plus commission. I haven’t figured out the specific commission method yet, after all, my store hasn’t opened yet, and I don’t know how the sales will be.”
"Lingling, go back and think about it."
Du Lingling hurriedly said:
"No need to think about it, I'm willing to work for Boss Bai."
Bai Zhenzhu chuckled:
"Just think it over carefully."
He then said to Zhou Ting:
“Lingling is my employee now, so it’s perfectly reasonable for her to live with your mother. Take your time decorating your house. It’s your wedding home, right? Then you should decorate it even more carefully. You can’t let Lingling suffer.”
Zhou Ting chuckled sheepishly:
"I definitely can't let her suffer, so I've already given her the keys to the new house."
The mother and son came out this year to earn money so they could propose to Du Lingling in a grand and impressive way.
This time, Du Lingling insisted on coming out with them, and Zhou Ting had sworn to his mother-in-law that he would treat Du Lingling well and let her live like a city person.
It's wonderful that Du Lingling can work at Bai Zhenzhu's shop for Zhou Ting and her son.
Bai Zhenzhu treats its employees exceptionally well, and the work environment is safe and reliable.
The family of three thanked Bai Zhenzhu repeatedly before leaving.
Li Xiufen couldn't help but sigh:
"These two kids have had a tough time. It's such a pity about Zhou Ting."
Bai Zhenzhu felt deeply moved, realizing that the development of society and the strength of the nation were due to the selfless dedication of countless individuals.
She truly cherishes the days she has now and is filled with gratitude.
Upon seeing the bucket full of eggs, Li Xiufen exclaimed:
"This bucket is huge, there must be over a hundred of them, and it looks like there are even duck eggs in it. How are we going to finish all of this!"
Sister Luo said, "There are people at the market who sell preserved eggs; you just need to pay them a little money."
Li Xiufen completely agreed:
"Yes, yes, you can use preserved eggs."
Pearl White didn't concern herself with these trivial matters.
The shop in Lianhuachi was set up very quickly, within a week.
Bai Zhenzhu spent a day handling various procedures and obtaining a business license.
The cosmetics were ordered a few days ago; I ordered 100,000 worth.
On her first order, Bai Zhenzhu was completely clueless and could only ask Manager Zhang to allocate the goods based on his experience.
The goods are already on their way.
That day, Huo Zheng delivered a crutch and two other people.
Let's start with people.
There was a man and a woman. The man was quite tall, about 1.75 meters.
He had a buzz cut and looked very energetic.
His name is Chen Shui, he is thirty-three years old this year, and he is also a veteran.
The woman looked to be around thirty years old and had a very good demeanor.
Huo Zheng then gave a detailed introduction to this female comrade:
“Liang Jiaqi, she’s from our compound. She used to work in finance.”
Bai Zhenzhu was overjoyed; she had always dreamed of having someone in finance.
Bai Zhenzhu stayed on with these two people.
After the two left, Huo Zheng naturally stayed for lunch and told Bai Zhenzhu about their situation.
