Wu Siyuan finished work relatively early today. He bought some barbecue and two bottles of cold beer before returning to his residence.
When she just opened the door to her room, Lin Meiyi's door also opened. Lin Meiyi, wearing a thin floral skirt and a little makeup, walked out, "Xiaoyuan, are you off work?"
"Yes, Sister Meiyi." Wu Siyuan could tell at a glance that Lin Meiyi was waiting for him.
"Have you not finished eating yet?" Lin Meiyi glanced at the fragrant barbecue in Wu Siyuan's hand and asked.
"I've eaten, but I'm greedy. I want to buy some midnight snacks. Sister Meiyi, would you like some?" Wu Siyuan asked politely.
"Okay!" To Wu Siyuan's surprise, Lin Meiyi nodded.
In this case, Wu Siyuan opened the door and let Lin Meiyi in.
After Lin Meiyi came in, she took the initiative to close the door.
Wu Siyuan's room is very simple. In addition to the necessary bed and wardrobe, it is just a table.
He put the barbecue and beer on the table, found two disposable cups, opened the beer, and poured the beer.
The cup was full of foam. After the beer foam dissipated, Wu Siyuan poured a little more and then handed the beer to Lin Meiyi.
Lin Meiyi drank the wine in one gulp without saying a word.
Because she drank too quickly, the beer liquid flowed down from the corners of her bright red lips, all the way down her fair neck.
"Cough cough cough..." Lin Meiyi coughed, and Wu Siyuan thoughtfully gave her a tissue.
After she wiped her mouth, Wu Siyuan asked straight to the point, "Sister Meiyi, is there anything you need my help with?"
Wu Siyuan knew that Lin Meiyi and her daughter were actually having a hard time during this period.
Zhao Jinghong ran away from home and has not returned yet, and cannot be contacted.
And those gangsters came to collect debts from time to time, even if Lin Meiyi told them that Zhao Jinghong was not here and she was divorcing Zhao Jinghong, it didn't help.
Those gangsters said that "a husband's debt must be paid back by his wife" and even suggested that Lin Meiyi sell her body to pay back the money.
Moreover, these gangsters would come over at certain times. After the last incident, they did not dare to face Wu Siyuan, so they came to harass Wu Siyuan when he was out, and evacuated before Wu Siyuan returned.
Wu Siyuan wanted to help, but it was difficult to intervene.
What's even more outrageous is that these gangsters also harassed Zhao Xuemei who was studying.
Zhao Xuemei is in her second year of high school, and her grades have plummeted because of this incident.
The teacher also called Lin Meiyi many times to ask her to pay close attention to Zhao Xuemei's academic performance.
Therefore, Lin Meiyi was physically and mentally exhausted during this period.
When Wu Siyuan said this, Lin Meiyi's eyes turned red and her tears couldn't stop falling.
How did a good and beautiful young woman end up like this?
Wu Siyuan sighed inwardly and kept passing tissues to Lin Meiyi.
After a while, Lin Meiyi's tears barely stopped, and she said to Wu Siyuan with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyuan, for making you laugh."
"It's okay! You are already very strong when it comes to this kind of thing. We are all under the same roof. If you need any help, I can do it. You can just ask." Wu Siyuan said in a sincere tone. "Thank you, Xiaoyuan." Lin Meiyi's tears tended to fall again, but fortunately she controlled herself. She sobbed and then said to Wu Siyuan, "Xiaoyuan, I heard Xiaoxia say that you have been
Are you hiring?"
Cai Bixia always runs to him whenever she has something to do during this period.
Although she would buy some fruits from him every time she came over, she always had to chat with Wu Siyuan, which made her little follower Li Feng a little emotional.
Wu Siyuan once mentioned the recruitment matter to Cai Bixia, but he didn't expect that she would mention it to Lin Meiyi so quickly.
But this is not something that needs to be kept secret.
So Wu Siyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I have this plan recently. One person is too busy to handle the fruit shop business."
"It's better for you! You were just a part-time worker at the beginning, and now you are the boss." Lin Meiyi said with emotion, maybe thinking of her own situation again, her eyes showed sadness, and she laughed at herself, "How do you look like me?" Wu Siyuan didn't speak, but silently added half a glass of beer to her.
Lin Meiyi drank it in one gulp, which may have given her strength and helped her overcome her shame. She boldly asked, "Xiaoyuan, what job are you planning to recruit people for?"
"I mainly buy and sell fruits in the store, and clean up in my spare time. After the fruits are sold, I replenish them in the warehouse." Wu Siyuan knew what Lin Meiyi was thinking, so she made her requests known.
"What time do you get to work?" Lin Meiyi asked.
Usually at eight or nine o'clock, those uncles, aunts, uncles and grandmothers would come back from their morning deliveries. They were the first batch of customers in the store. Wu Siyuan thought for a moment and said, "Eight-thirty."
"How many hours do you work? When do you get off work?" Lin Meiyi continued to ask.
"Nine-thirty in the evening." If it's Wu Siyuan, it will usually be open until after 10 o'clock, but if it's Lin Meiyi, forget it.
"That's 13 hours." Lin Meiyi silently calculated and said.
"Yes." Wu Siyuan nodded.
"Then...how much is the monthly salary?" Lin Meiyi gritted her teeth and asked.
"3500 yuan." Wu Siyuan reported the psychological price.
"Looking like this, is there any rest?" Lin Meiyi asked again.
"One day off a week." Wu Siyuan replied, and mentioned another benefit, "Three meals included!"
Lin Meiyi's eyes lit up slightly after hearing about this "three meals included" benefit.
To be honest, Wu Siyuan’s monthly salary of 3,500 is not high.
But Lin Meiyi doesn’t have much choice.
Those gangsters came to harass her every day, and after her husband disappeared, Lin Meiyi had no source of income and could only live on her previous savings.
It is really stressful for an unemployed woman to live in this first-tier city with a 17-year-old daughter.
Lin Meiyi couldn't sleep every night during this period, and her hair was falling out desperately in the morning.
She desperately needs a job to make a living.
And here Wu Siyuan just has an opportunity.
Lin Meiyi felt a little ashamed, but the pressure of life still forced her to muster the courage to say, "Xiaoyuan, do you think I am suitable?"
"Sister Meiyi, do you want to go to work at my place?" Wu Siyuan asked knowingly.
"It all depends on whether Boss Wu is recruiting people? Do you think he will dislike me as an old woman?" Lin Meiyi said in a pretentious and carefree manner, but her swinging feet still exposed her inner nervousness.
"Hi! Sister Meiyi, this great beauty, is here with me. It's not too late for me to welcome you." Wu Siyuan grinned.
"Sister Meiyi, the conditions are as we just agreed. If it is more convenient these days, just tell me and go to work!" Wu Siyuan also said straightforwardly.
"Okay, Xiaoyuan... Oh, no, boss, I have another question?" Lin Meiyi changed her words.
"You said."
"Can Xiaomei go to the store to study after school? It's not convenient for her at home." Lin Meiyi lowered her head and asked.
"Of course." Wu Siyuan nodded and did not object.
He noticed that when he agreed to let Lin Meiyi go to work at his place, the nameless iron ring in his hand flashed again.
