Chapter 104 Fishing in troubled waters
As a result, when Eva arrived at the appointed station on time the next day, she saw a crowd of sixty or seventy people standing behind the station.
Most of them are young people in their 20s, and there are only a few elderly parents who are worried about their children and want to come with them to see the work place with their own eyes.
"Don't worry, everyone. Just wait a little longer. It won't be until 9 o'clock in 20 minutes. Let's set off together when the time comes."
Eva glanced at the Shanghai brand watch in her hand and shouted to everyone.
In this era, it is not easy to have such a watch on your wrist. The main reason is that it is too expensive and ordinary people are reluctant to buy it.
Eva's brother, the chef, spent all his one month's salary to buy it for her. At that time, his brother was not married yet.
"Eva, where is the place to work? I heard that the previous batch of people said that the boss here provided dormitories. Is this true?"
In the crowd, a young man asked. He was also from Eva's village and was much older than Eva.
"It's true, Brother Tiedan, have you seen that high-rise building over there? The place where I will work from now on will be in that building. The boss said that it would be too troublesome for everyone to run back and forth between the village and the city, so he looked for a house nearby and gave it to everyone.
Free dormitories are provided." Eva pointed to the south, where the Qingyun Market has been built.
"It's so grand. Look at that building, it's so high."
"No, Ernie, you have to perform well. When the time comes, you will be chosen by your boss, and you will be able to work in a building. Even government buildings are not as tall as that."
Everyone in the crowd was chattering away.
So many people gathered here, attracting a lot of attention. People at the station were coming and going, and they were all curious when they saw so many people standing here.
A bus stopped at the station, and a middle-aged man got out, carrying a satchel and wearing overalls. Judging from his appearance, he must be a foreigner.
After getting off the bus, the man looked around the station, his eyes wide open, and saw a large number of rural people gathered behind the station. The man was curious, found a corner, and squatted down. It looked like he was resting, but in fact he was standing upright.
Listen to the conversation among the crowd.
After listening quietly for a while, this man joined the crowd, looked for conversation, and asked: "Brother, what are you doing here with so many of you?"
"We are all from the same village. We are going to interview and find jobs soon." A fat man who looked relatively honest replied.
"What kind of job can employ so many people?" the man asked again.
"Salesperson, the salary is quite high, it's over a thousand every month." The little fat man said confidently, as if he was a god.
"A monthly salary of thousands? Just brag."
"Tch, I lied to you and I didn't give me any money. Really, did you see that little blond girl? She is from our village. She has been working for a long time, and she earns several thousand a month."
Three people became a tiger, and this trend in the village became even worse. Originally, it was said that Eva's salary must be thousands of dollars a month, but as rumors spread, it turned into thousands.
When the man saw the little fat man, it really didn't look like he was lying to him. He believed it half a percent. Thinking of the little fat man's salary of thousands per month, the man felt prickly in his heart and said to the little fat man.
: "I'll go with you in a moment. Take me with you."
"That won't work. These people are all from our village. If you go, others can't go. No, no, no." The little fat man shook his head like a rattle.
"Fat boy, what are you doing? Hurry up and catch up when the time comes." Another young man who was traveling with him saw that the fat boy was still chatting with an unknown person and called him quickly.
"Oh, here we come." The little fat man turned around and ran over, following the man who called him.
The middle-aged man saw that the crowd was all walking towards the west, and no one noticed him. He was behind, taking small steps and quietly following the crowd.
Eva saw that the time had reached 9 o'clock, so she didn't wait any longer, and headed to Lu Ye's house with the sixty or seventy people here.
After walking for less than ten minutes and turning two corners, we arrived at Lu Ye's house.
Pushing open the small door, Eva walked in first, followed by the villagers behind her.
Fortunately, the yard is big enough, and the original vegetable plot has now become a yard. It is not a big deal to accommodate so many people.
"Look, there are two large trucks here." Cars are rarely seen in the countryside. When selling grain in the autumn, every family drives an ox cart or a horse-drawn carriage to deliver the harvested grain to them.
The grain station sells money.
"My dear, these two big trucks are worth a lot of money."
The middle-aged man carrying a bag walked at the end, quietly followed the crowd into the yard, found a corner, and ducked in with his head lowered.
There were too many people at the scene, many of whom were not from the same village. People in the same village could not recognize him, so no one really recognized him.
"Everyone, wait a moment, I'll call the boss."
Eva shouted to everyone, turned around and entered Lu Ye's house.
In fact, Lu Ye had already noticed it when Eva brought people into the yard just now, but he never moved.
He was not the only one in the room. Yu Yang and the six young people selected yesterday were also in the room. At this moment, Yu Yang was giving everyone a simple sales training.
As soon as Eva entered the door, she saw the people in the room. She didn't dare to make a loud noise. She just walked up to Lu Ye and whispered: "Boss, there are a lot of people here, there must be sixty or seventy of them. What should we do?"
Eva herself did not expect that so many people would come.
Lu Ye also whispered: "The more, the better. Let's go out and have a look. Don't disturb their training."
Lu Ye was sitting on the edge of the kang, raised his buttocks, got off the ground, and followed Eva out of the house.
"Hey, there are so many people. It's good. Please forgive me. The space here is limited and I can't fit so many people in the room. We'll just work in groups of five. Let's go to the room next door for the interview. Okay, it's nothing.
Question, let’s get started and don’t waste everyone’s time.”
After going out, Lu Ye said loudly to the big guy.
It was also the first time for the people below to meet Lu Ye. They only felt that this man was too young and had no other feelings.
"Eva, you are responsible for maintaining order here, moving two boxes of soda, and sharing it with everyone." Lu Ye said.
"Okay boss." Eva nodded and said.
Lu Ye's own house couldn't be used, so he came to Kang Jian and A Fei's house. It was also full of goods and the room was very crowded, but it could still accommodate five people.
"Kang Jian, please help Eva carry two boxes of soda out and share them with the people outside. I will interview you in your room later."
After Lu Ye entered the door, he said to Kang Jian who was lying on the kang holding a 14-inch black and white TV.
"Oh, okay." Upon hearing this, Kang Jian ran directly to the ground, picked up two boxes of Jianlibao soda from the corner, and walked out the door.
Kang Jian came outside and took a look. With so many people there, these two boxes were definitely not enough, so he simply went in and took another box out.
"Eva, please share it with everyone."
The Kang family tore open the cardboard box with their bare hands, took out the filled Jianlibao and handed it to Eva.
"okay."
Each person had a can. When Eva walked up to the middle-aged man with the backpack, she saw that the man looked very strange. She wanted to ask, but she still didn't ask.
He handed the person a can of Jianlibao and walked to the next person.
The man took Jianlibao, opened the can, and took two big gulps.
"This stuff is really delicious." The man praised.
Many people at the scene were reluctant to drink the drinks after receiving them, and carefully put them into their pockets.
"Eva, let's start. Let five people come in first." Lu Ye said to Eva.
"Oh well."
"You five go first, don't worry, everyone can take your turn," Eva said in command.
Lu Ye's interview method is also very simple. The main purpose is to allow each of these candidates to speak. Because he is doing sales work, it is difficult for people who are too introverted to be competent.
As for character, it is difficult to see through interviews. These things take time to be revealed slowly.
Just like Lu Ye said, if someone fails the interview, Lu Ye will tell them to stay at the end of the interview, and then give each person 5 yuan on the spot as the round trip expenses for this time.
As for almost all the people, Lu Ye basically stayed. He is really short of people now.
With 50 stalls, even if the layout is readjusted and one person is required to guard two stalls, Lu Ye will still need at least 25 salespeople. This is the minimum requirement.
As for subletting these stalls, Lu Ye never thought about it. What a joke. Only a fool would do that at this time.
The two-hour interview was gradually coming to an end. Almost a third of the people brought by Eva had left, and only the last few people had not been interviewed yet.
"Next group." Lu Ye's voice came from the room.
"You, you, you, um, and you, please go in." Eva clicked on the last few people. Looking at the middle-aged man with a backpack, Eva always felt that this person was strange.
