Wu Mingshi and Zhang Qian were already waiting at the entrance of the village.
The two of them also had large and small bags in their hands, carrying a lot of things.
We just met this afternoon, and the three of them didn't talk much after they met.
Luo Yanning and Wu Mingshi followed Zhang Qian through the narrow streets of the urban village like a maze.
We walked for almost seven or eight minutes.
The three of them came to the downstairs of a tube building that looked a little older.
Go up to the second floor from the steel structure staircase installed behind the outer wall of the Tongzi Building.
When I opened the door to the second floor, I immediately smelled a musty smell mixed with various odors.
There is only one narrow passage in the corridor.
On both sides of the passage are door-to-door rental houses without even a single window.
It can be said that the landlord of this Tongzi Building made the most of the internal space of the house.
In a space of more than 100 square meters, there are more than 10 rooms for rent.
The three of them finally stopped in front of a rental house with a string of Chinese knots hanging on the door.
Zhang Qian raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
"Who is it?"
Shen Xueli's voice sounded in the room.
Zhang Qian said with a loud voice: "Me! Open the door quickly. Wear more clothes, there are Fatty and Luo Zi."
"You, why are you here!"
Shen Xueli was very surprised by the arrival of these three uninvited guests.
Then there was a sound of clinking objects colliding in the room.
After almost three minutes, the door of the rental house opened with a creak.
Wearing a light blue cotton pajamas, a bandage around her head, and an awkward smile on her face, Shirley Shen appeared at the door.
The moment she saw Shen Xueli, Zhang Qian, who had always had a very manly personality, suddenly turned red, and said with a choked voice: "Damn you girl! You still don't say a word to me after we're in this situation! Do you still have this in your eyes?"
Sisters!"
Shen Xueli hurriedly stepped forward and took Zhang Qian's hand, shaking it and coquettishly saying: "I'm fine, really fine, it's just a little skin injury. The doctor said it'll be fine after a day of rest."
"You're almost mummified, but you're still okay. Where did you knock it?" Zhang Qian's tone was slightly reproachful but full of concern.
Shen Xueli pointed at the back of her head and said with a relaxed expression: "It's okay. It's a small injury. It's probably scabbed by now. Everyone, please stop standing at the door and come in quickly."
Shen Xueli greeted the three people into the room. The room was originally very small, but after three guests came, it was almost full in an instant.
Shen Xueli looked a little embarrassed and said: "The place is a bit shabby, how about... I invite you to have a meal at a restaurant outside, and we can chat while eating. Haven't you eaten yet?"
"Okay, let's find a small restaurant to eat and chat. Fatty, Luo Zi, you two go out and avoid it first." Zhang Qian noticed the discomfort in Shen Shirley's expression and waved her hand to chase the two men out.
"Let's go downstairs and have a cigarette." Luo Yanning put down what she was holding, turned around and walked out the door.
Wu Mingshi also put down his things and followed him out the door.
Tongzilou, downstairs.
Luo Yanning and Wu Mingshi each lit a cigarette and blew out the smoke.
Wu Mingshi blew out a smoke ring and said with a look of sadness: "It's not easy for Shen Shirley. I heard from Zhang Qian that her father suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. He has no labor force and cannot leave. Her mother is taking care of her father in the village. By the way, she is farming.
There is also a younger brother who is in the first year of high school and a younger sister who is in the third year of high school. The burden of the whole family falls on her."
"No wonder she works so hard..." After hearing about the situation of Shen Shirley's family, Luo Yanning felt sad in her heart.
Wu Mingshi continued: "So, if you get a good job in the future, remember this old classmate of ours. Our wages are low, the work is tiring, and the female workers are all aunts in their forties or fifties. It is definitely not suitable."
.”
"Hey... don't tell me, I really have a good job here." The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. After hearing the fat man's words, Luo Yanning's eyes lit up.
On the way back to the city, he was still thinking about setting up a marketing department for his own scenic spot.
Right now, Shen Xueli is a very suitable candidate!
First of all, the two have been classmates for many years and have a good relationship. They know each other well.
Moreover, Shen Xueli graduated with a major in marketing, which is her professional counterpart.
Shen Xueli's village is very close to the scenic spot, and she can go to work by riding an electric bike.
It’s convenient to commute to and from get off work, and you can also take care of your family.
Shirley Shen is simply the perfect choice for the manager of the scenic area marketing department!
Wu Mingshi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Do you want to take Shen Shirley to be a tour guide? Don't mention it, Shen Shirley is quite beautiful in dress, so she might be able to work as a tour guide."
"What kind of tour guide..." Luo Yanning said with a smile, "I was thinking about setting up the marketing department of our scenic spot this afternoon. I will ask Shen Xueli if she would like to work in the marketing department of our scenic spot."
Wu Mingshi smiled mischievously and said: "Um...you brought Shen Xueli to your scenic spot, aren't you afraid that your vice president will be jealous?"
"What do you mean by bringing Shen Xueli to our scenic spot? Please pay attention to your wording."
Luo Yanning cursed with a smile, shook her head and said with a smile: "Also, I advise you to have a healthy mind and don't focus on the relationship between men and women. Shen Shirley and I are clean and innocent. How can Miaomiao be jealous...
...No, you fat man set a trap for me, right?"
"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Look, you explained it seriously. They are coming down..."
After Wu Mingshi finished speaking, Luo Yanning looked up and saw Zhang Qian and Shen Xueli appearing at the door of the second floor.
Shen Shirley wore a blue fisherman's hat with a soft material on her head, which just covered all the bandages.
…
A Shanxi sliced noodle restaurant at the entrance of Licun Village.
The four of them, Luo Yanning, found a table and ordered six meat and vegetable dishes.
A two-liter bottle of Sprite.
When old classmates meet, there is always endless topics to talk about.
Let’s talk about the good times when we were in school.
Let’s talk about each other’s current situation.
Although we seldom see each other due to running around to make a living, within a few words, we feel like we have returned to those green days.
We chatted and talked about each other's work.
Zhang Qian said: "Shirley, why don't you come with me? Enroll in my martial arts class, and if you do it, you can still earn five or six thousand a month. What kind of takeout are you, a cute and cute girl, delivering? It's hard, tiring and dangerous.
Stop it now!"
Shishi is a city at the end of the second tier, and the salary level is mostly around 4,000 yuan. The salary Zhang Qian offered to Shen Xueli is considered a high salary.
Shen Xueli smiled and said: "It's not as exaggerated as what you said. I think it's okay. There is a process from entry to familiarity in any industry. Once you become proficient, it will be fine."
Shen Xueli was not stupid. As soon as she heard the treatment Zhang Qian offered her, she knew it was a "friendship price" for her and refused without hesitation.
It's not because I want to show off my strength to save face, I just don't want to take advantage of my best friend.
Zhang Qian said with a displeased look: "Why are there so many nonsense! What the hell, did you feel wronged by doing this with me?"
"No, I..." Shen Xueli's face was full of grievances, and she didn't know how to refuse her best friend's kindness.
Luo Yanning interrupted with a smile: "Ahem...two beauties, can you let me say a few words?"
Zhang Qian and Shen Shirley turned to look at Luo Yanning at the same time, and said in unison: "Say."
Luo Yanning put down the chopsticks in her hands and said seriously: "Shen Xueli, are you interested in working in our scenic spot? The position of marketing manager of our scenic spot is currently vacant."
"As for wages and benefits..."
Seeing Shen Xueli's interested expression, Luo Yanning continued: "The internship period is one month, with a basic salary of 5,000, five social insurances and one fund. After the term is completed, the basic salary will be 10,000, and the bonus will depend on the benefits of the scenic spot."
"Marketing manager? Ten thousand a month?" Shen Xueli and Zhang Qian were stunned when they heard the salary offered by Luo Yanning.
In a small city like Shishi, which needs resources but has no resources, and has no characteristics, jobs with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan are still rare.
You must have at least a graduate degree or a master's degree to achieve this income level.
Shen Shirley couldn't help but be tempted by the salary package offered by Luo Yanning.
Moreover, what excites Shen Shirley the most is that the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area is very close to her home.
It only takes about ten minutes to ride an electric bike, and you can take care of your family while working!
Zhang Qian opened her mouth and said with a surprised look on her face: "Luo Zi... do you... want to pick up Shirley?"
"Pfft~" The sip of Sprite that Luo Yanning had just taken into her mouth sprayed all over Zhang Qian's face.
"Nima...you can just spray me! What do you mean by spraying my sister Qian!"
Wu Mingshi was so distressed that he quickly took out a tissue and wiped Zhang Qian's face.
"Hey, I have such a bad temper! Believe it or not, I will take off your big crotch!" Zhang Qian rolled up her sleeves and glared at Luo Yanning angrily.
Luo Yanning held back her laughter and held up her hands to beg for mercy: "Sister Qian, don't be angry, don't be angry, calm down, calm down... I really didn't mean it."
…
A few people laughed for a while and then talked about Shen Xueli's work.
The relationship between men and women is more than just the relationship between making love and being made love to.
Another kind of relationship is friendship.
Pure friendship, although there is very little in existence, does exist.
Luo Yanning felt that the relationship between herself and Shen Shirley was very pure.
That day when he saw her in Lao Fengxiang wearing a short skirt and sexy clothes, he never felt the slightest bit moved.
I guess it would be about the same if I replaced it with a nurse or flight attendant.
Shen Shirley was also very sure that Luo Yanning did not offer her this position just to impress herself.
This is a woman's intuition.
If he wants to pursue himself, there won't be many opportunities.
Moreover, it is basically difficult for me to refuse.
Which girl doesn't want to have a handsome boyfriend?
Luo Yanning's appearance is the legendary "only handsome but can be broken" type.
Just like men like beautiful women, women also like handsome men.
Even an honest girl like Shen Shirley is hard to avoid and will not be an exception.
Except Zhang Qian.
"Some time ago, something bad happened in our scenic spot, and the marketing manager ran away with his team."
"At this time, the situation of the scenic spot is beginning to improve, and it is urgent to establish a marketing department for the scenic spot."
Luo Yanning explained: "I have had the experience of being betrayed, so this time I paid more attention to character when choosing the manager of the marketing department.
For business capabilities, conditions can be relaxed and given a certain amount of room for growth.
So I think Shirley, you can come to our scenic spot and give it a try. This is a rare opportunity."
Shen Shirley looked moved and said: "Thank you, Yan Ning, thank you for providing me with this job opportunity. You know it's hard for me to refuse..."
However, in terms of salary, I feel that there is a serious mismatch between my current ability and salary.
Otherwise, the internship period should be extended to half a year?"
Zhang Qian interrupted with a smile: "Shirley, are you stupid? Luo Zi lacks your salary? You can take whatever amount is offered to you."
Wu Mingshi added on the side: "That's right, just think of it as robbing the rich and giving to the poor!"
The Niangniang Temple in the scenic spot alone earns hundreds of thousands of incense money every month.
This is what Luo Yanning said to Wu Mingshi personally.
And Wu Mingshi was a big talker, so he turned around and told Zhang Qian.
Thinking about it, the scenic spot must have more income from other aspects.
Luo Zi is not short of money now.
And the situation of Shen Xueli's family is that they are short of money.
Therefore, Wu Mingshi and Zhang Qian do not advocate Shen Xueli's initiative to request a salary cut.
"You two are so ruthless..." Luo Yanning gave the couple a thumbs up, acquiescing to their words.
Indeed, he is really not short of money now.
At least, it's definitely not less than Shen Shirley's salary.
"This..." Shen Xueli still felt a little guilty.
Zhang Qian raised her cup and said decisively: "Stop talking about this and that. Just work hard in the future and make achievements for Luo Zi. This matter is settled! Come on, let's have a drink together! Congratulations to our Xueli for finding her.
new job!"
"Yes, yes! It's time to celebrate, let's go together." Wu Ming and his wife sang the husband's New Year's Eve song and raised their cups.
Luo Yanning also raised his glass and gestured to Shen Shirley: "Welcome to the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area, we will be comrades in arms from now on."
"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone, it's great to have you." Shen Xueli raised her glass, her eyes moist.
This feeling of being cared about by friends... is so good.
After having a drink together, Luo Yanning said: "Well, Shirley, you can rest for a few days and quit the job at hand. When the injury on your head heals, you can go to the scenic spot to report."
Shen Xueli hurriedly said: "No need to rest, I have quit my job in the gold store. Just let me know about my takeout job in the group later, and I can go to the scenic spot to report tomorrow! My injury is okay, just wear a hat like you are now.
It won’t affect my son, it just so happens that my house is due tomorrow, so I don’t have to pay the rent anymore.”
"That's it..." Shen Shirley had already said this, and Luo Yanning was really embarrassed to dampen her enthusiasm for work.
Zhang Qian laughed at the side and said: "I said you two are really interesting... We have been classmates for so many years. Who doesn't know who they are? So don't be polite here."
Luo Yanning smiled and said: "Okay, then you go to the scenic spot to report to me tomorrow, and I'll ask someone to get you started."
"Yeah!" Shen Shirley nodded happily.
When she thought that her new job would not only pay well, but also take care of her family, she would like to fly back to her hometown to reunite with her father.
When there are good jobs close to home, who is willing to leave their hometown and work hard in a big city?
After chatting about work, the four of them chatted some more.
After finishing the first few dishes, I ordered three or four more dishes.
The meal lasted from about 7 o'clock to about 9 o'clock in the evening.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Qian went to pay the bill.
No one dares to snatch it from her, whoever snatches it will have a big crotch.
