Chapter 180 We Need Different Kinds of Talent
"Xiaoying, I'm going out for a bit, keep an eye on things..." Qin Yanlin came out of the office, preparing to go out to buy some things.
“Yes, boss,” Xiao Ying replied respectfully.
Xiaomei turned her head and saw a man who looked to be about forty years old, with delicate features, neat and appropriate attire, and a mature and steady demeanor. A sudden thought struck her – this was exactly her type! And he was her boss!
She quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Hello, boss!"
Qin Yanlin was taken aback, but his expression remained unchanged. He replied gently, "Hello, hello! May I ask what brings you here?"
“I heard you’re hiring here. I used to work as a housekeeper in Gangcheng, so I have a lot of experience in this area. I used to train Xiaoying.” Xiaomei suppressed the flutter in her heart, pointed to Xiaoying, and said frankly.
“Yes, boss, your wife used to do this kind of work.” Xiao Ying affirmed.
"Is this your sister-in-law?" Qin Yanlin asked.
Xiao Ying nodded in agreement.
Qin Yanlin had a good impression of the honest and hardworking Xiao Ying, and upon hearing that she was his sister-in-law, he felt a greater sense of trust in her.
Then he realized that his company really needed to hire people, especially experienced employees. So he nodded in agreement.
After reviewing Li Xiaomei's credentials and asking her some questions, I had her practice in the training room. I found that she was methodical, quick and agile, and proficient in all the operations.
Qin Yanlin believes that for a company to develop, it needs diverse talents.
Li Xiaomei has a good appearance and excellent temperament. She is also literate, good at math, and has good speaking skills; she can explain things logically and persuasively. Her professional competence is also strong.
She is suitable for both training and marketing/public relations.
Such multi-talented individuals are quite rare. Qin Yanlin signed a labor contract with Li Xiaomei without hesitation.
They offered her a monthly salary of 600 yuan and told her that she would be responsible for receiving customers and training students this month.
After signing the contract, Li Xiaomei left with a joyful expression.
"Where have you been gallivanting off to today? Did you make any money?" As soon as I stepped inside, a teacup flew at me.
Li Xiaomei easily dodged it; the plastic cup fell to the ground, bounced twice, but didn't break.
"Mom!" Her son, Xiaogang, walked over and called out timidly, his eyes filled with worry and fear.
"What are you calling me? Didn't I tell you to call me Auntie? Why are you calling me Mom? Get out of here!" Li Xiaomei shoved Xiaogang aside and walked straight to the dining table.
"Where would you get to eat? If you don't pay today, you and Xiaogang can get as far away as possible!" Li Qingsong blocked Li Xiaomei's path, his face fierce.
"Dad, I've found a job. I'll give you the money when I get paid," Li Xiaomei said, pouting.
"No, you have to pay today! With your attitude, who knows how many days you can work, or even if you'll get paid?" Li Qingsong didn't believe it.
He knew his daughter well; she was not only lazy and gluttonous, but also had many wicked thoughts. She did nothing productive all day long and couldn't live a peaceful life. All she wanted to do was marry a rich man and live a good life by relying on him.
When I was a teenager, I was tricked into having sex because of a small favor.
Later, she went to Hong Kong with some Hong Kong businessman, hoping to become a rich wife. In the end, she didn't become a rich wife; instead, she was sold into working as a hostess.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted and encountered a kind person who rescued her from her predicament and even introduced her to a housekeeping company for a job.
Who would have thought she would be so shameless as to try to seduce the company's general manager, who was actually the boss's brother-in-law?
They failed to hook up with anyone, but were betrayed by someone.
How can I tolerate something like this?
So she was kicked out again, then arrested by the police and sent back.
She returned, but was pregnant with an illegitimate child. In a panic, she found a scapegoat and gave birth to the baby.
The man didn't say anything even though he was being cuckolded, but this damned woman thought he was poor and not presentable enough, which made him run away.
After that, she stayed at home eating and sleeping, and even left her child with them to raise.
It's one thing to just provide food and lodging, but the child is old enough to go to school now, and they can't be the ones taking him/her there, can they?
Even her own son said: "If things continue like this, this girl will be completely ruined. If things continue like this, he won't care about them anymore, he won't support them in their old age or see them off in their final days..."
"I told you I've found a solution, what can I do if you don't believe me?" Li Xiaomei said indifferently.
"You!" Li Qingsong was furious and raised his hand to strike.
“She said she would give it to us when she got her salary, so we waited. But she hasn’t received it yet, and forcing her won’t work,” said Yao Hongying, Li Xiaomei’s mother, as she grabbed Li Qingsong’s hand.
"Just keep spoiling her!" Li Qingsong turned away angrily.
“I’m not spoiling her, it’s just that I see how much she’s suffered,” Yao Hongying said, giving Li Xiaomei a wink.
Li Xiaomei pouted and said softly, "Dad, I was wrong, please don't be angry. This time I really did find work. Look, this is the employment contract." As she spoke, she took out the contract and threw it at him.
Li Qingsong took a look and saw that it was indeed an employment contract.
My anger immediately dissipated. Now that the contract is signed, I should be able to do my job properly.
……
After dinner, Li Xiaomei took Xiaogang back to their room to rest.
Xiao Gang climbed onto the bed and lay down obediently, not daring to make a sound.
Even so, Li Xiaomei still didn't give him a friendly look.
Li Xiaomei disliked him for two reasons: firstly, Xiaogang's biological father was unknown, and secondly, it greatly hindered her from marrying into a better family.
Does that boss, Qin Yanlin, have a wife?
What kind of wife is he? Is she easy to deal with?
I need to ask Xiaoying for clarification tomorrow.
Li Xiaomei thought about it all night, making various plans.
The next morning, Li Xiaomei got up unusually early. After carefully dressing herself, she went to IKEA Home Services.
Upon entering, I didn't see Qin Yanlin or Xiao Ying. But I did see a familiar face, Deng Xiuzhen, who was moving things with the workers.
"You work here?" Li Xiaomei greeted him cheerfully. To get closer to the boss, she needed to learn more about him. And to learn more, she needed to make more friends.
Deng Xiuzhen thought about it and realized she also worked here, so she nodded in agreement and continued working.
"What do you mainly do? Do you clean or cook?" Li Xiaomei asked, glancing at the items in Deng Xiuzhen's hands.
"Do it all!" Deng Xiuzhen was a little annoyed. She didn't have a good impression of Li Xiaomei and didn't want to deal with her.
“I work here as a training instructor and also as a receptionist. We’re acquaintances, so if you need any help in the future, just tell me, and I can take care of you.” Li Xiaomei’s words sounded nice, and if you ignored the disdain in her eyes, they could indeed be quite enticing.
"What? You're a training instructor here? When did this start?" Deng Xiuzhen asked in surprise.
Upon seeing Li Xiaomei, she assumed that Li Xiaomei had come to see Xiaoying.
She didn't think Li Xiaomei would work here because Li Xiaomei couldn't handle hardship, had a bad service attitude, and was picky about what she did.
So much so that when she was fitting the plan, the first thing she thought of was that employees should not be allowed to pick and choose orders.
I don't think Li Xiaomei would hire a housekeeper, since people who work with Xiaoying can't afford a housekeeper.
