Novel Bin Chapter 213 - 213: Deal
Only then did the two of them calm down. Shao Qingyuan said, “I used to work for an escort agency in town.”
He had no land in Yongfu Village. Other than hunting in the mountains, he went to the county city or prefectural city to do short-term work. That escort agency was not big, and the escorts were only short-distance. Most of them were between the prefectural city and the county city. The furthest was between the two neighboring prefectural cities.
Shao Qingyuan was quite skilled. The head of the escort company really wanted him to stay in the escort company, but he didn’t agree. However, he had also helped with two short-range escorts and everyone in the escort company knew him.
“Chief Escort has an elder brother. He used to be the shopkeeper of a large family in the prefectural city. Later on, that old master passed away. His two sons fought to the death. In the end, not only did the family collapse, but that shop was also sold. Uncle Zheng returned to the county city. He has nothing to do now.”
Gu Yundong lowered her eyes and thought for a while. “Is this person reliable?” “Reliable,” he replied without hesitation.
Gu Yundong nodded. “Alright, if you say he’s reliable, then he’s reliable. Then it’s him.”
Shao Qingyuan saw that she trusted him without hesitation, and his heart suddenly swelled. He secretly took a deep breath. “I’ll go find him now.” “Okay.”
It was still early, and the escort agency was not far from here. Shao Qingyuan returned not long after he left.
Uncle Zheng was not very old. He looked to be in his forties and looked very energetic. His family ran an escort agency, and it seemed that he had also practiced martial arts.
This was even better. She wasn’t afraid of people causing trouble.
Zheng Gang had been a shopkeeper for more than ten years and was a steady person. When he saw that his boss was a little girl in her teens, he was only surprised for a moment. He did not look down on her. Instead, he said with admiration, “Qingyuan told me about it on the way. I really didn’t expect such a rare thing to exist in this world. My boss is really capable.”
He paused for a moment and said, “But you might not know that I used to be a shopkeeper in a cloth shop. The things I sold were different, and I might not be able to meet your requirements. If you’re worried, you can let me try to be a shopkeeper for half a month first. If you’re not satisfied, feel free to change me.”
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. He knew about the probation period?
“It won’t take half a month. Three days will be enough. As the saying goes, one round is all it takes. Uncle Zheng used to be the shopkeeper of the cloth shop. In three days, you will definitely be proficient in being the shopkeeper of Gu’s. I will come to Gu’s for the next three days. If there’s anything you need to know about the shop, you can just ask me.”
Zheng Gang smiled. “The boss thinks highly of me. I, Zheng Gang, will definitely not let you down.”
“As for the monthly salary, it’s temporarily set at five taels of silver. If you do it well, I will increase it.” She had some understanding. The prices and wages in the county city were not comparable to the prefectural city. Most of the shopkeepers here only had three to four taels of silver a month.
Of course, a big restaurant like the Liu family’s was different. However, if she did well, she would not treat the shopkeeper badly.
Zheng Gang immediately nodded. “Alright.” When he was a shopkeeper in the prefectural city, he only earned five taels a month. He had worked for many years before raising it by two taels.
After agreeing on the time for work the next day, Zheng Gang went back.
Now that the shopkeeper had been confirmed, she still needed a waiter.
This waiter did not necessarily need to be experienced. With Zheng Gang leading him, it was not a big problem to help move the goods in the shop and entertain the customers. The most important thing was to be clever.
At the mention of cleverness, a person flashed across Gu Yundong’s mind..
