Chapter 42 The First Employee
Shen Lin looked up and saw a young man wearing a gray Zhongshan suit with a patch on the cuff, looking at him with a hint of expectation.
The young man's clothes didn't fit him at first glance, and seemed to be too big.
Combined with the patches on the clothes, Shen Lin's first judgment was that the clothes did not belong to the young man in front of him at all.
Wearing clothes that were not his own, looking gentle and refined yet a little timid, Shen Lin quickly determined the identity of this person.
This is a college student from the countryside.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Shen Lin asked with a smile on his face.
"Boss, I see you're very busy all day. Do you need help? I... I'm a newly admitted college student. This is my school badge. I... I only need 50 cents a day."
The young man's face turned red when he talked about money.
If he had no other choice, he wouldn't have been so shameless as to look for a job. It was because when he came from home, his family could not give him more support.
After reporting in, he now only has a few dollars left.
Although the school provides meal tickets, eating is not a big problem, but you still have to buy a toothbrush and a towel.
"What's your name?" Shen Lin said with a smile.
"My name is Lu Dongsheng, which means the rising sun." The young man rubbed his hands and said with a hint of embarrassment.
Looking at the young man with an uneasy look, Shen Lin suddenly smiled and said, "Your Sheng, was it born before?"
The young man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this young boss, who was about the same age as him, knew about his name change while talking to him.
"Yes, when I was in junior high school, I felt that the name "Born in Winter" was not a good one, so I changed the "sheng" (birth) to "sheng" (rising). " When Lu Dongsheng said this, a slight blush appeared on his face.
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Do you have classes these days?"
"No, the main purpose is to familiarize myself with the school. I heard that classes will not officially start until September." Lu Dongsheng looked up and said.
Shen Lin waved at Lu Dongsheng and said, "How about this, I will set up stalls in different schools in the next few days. If you are sure you have time, you can follow me."
"Salary? I'll give you one dollar a day."
Lu Dongsheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he only needed 50 cents in salary, but the young man in front of him actually gave him one yuan.
"Thank you, boss." Lu Dongsheng hurried over to help Shen Lin pack up.
Looking at this sensible young man with a hint of inferiority, Shen Lin smiled but said nothing.
He needs manpower now, and since Lu Dongsheng is willing to come to him on his own initiative, he is naturally willing to help.
As for the salary of one yuan, it was actually not a small amount. After all, the salary of a formal worker at that time was only thirty or forty yuan a month.
With the help of Lu Dongsheng, Shen Lin packed his things . After agreeing with Lu Dongsheng on a meeting time tomorrow, he pedaled his tricycle and sped towards the market with a puff of black smoke.
While the market is still open, Shen Lin wants to purchase the goods to be sold tomorrow.
As they were all old customers with whom Shen Lin had negotiated long ago, he was very familiar with the process and had prepared all the goods before dark.
When Shen Lin unloaded two large truckloads of goods into the yard where he lived, it was already completely dark. Workers working in various factories were returning home in groups of two or three.
As he went up the stairs, Shen Lin kept greeting his neighbors and was in good spirits. But when he sat on a stool at home, he felt a huge wave of fatigue coming over him quickly, and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting each other even faster.
Shen Lin, who wanted to cook, comforted himself by saying that he would take a break before cooking. However, when he was awakened by the sound of frying in the kitchen, he found that not only was he covered with a small blanket, but the only table fan in the house was also blowing gently not far away from him.
When Shen Lin stood up, he found Lu Xiaorong cooking in the kitchen.
"Xiaorong, go and have a rest. I'll cook the dish." As Shen Lin spoke, he walked into the kitchen.
Lu Xiaorong looked at Shen Lin, who looked a little haggard under the dim light, and said softly, "It's almost done. Wash your hands. After I fry this dish, we'll eat."
After Lu Xiaorong said this, Shen Lin felt his stomach growling. Although the beef-filled sesame seed buns he had eaten at noon were quite filling, he had already digested them after a busy afternoon.
Fried rapeseed with oil residue, two cut salted goose eggs, white flour dumpling soup and a few steamed buns from yesterday made Shen Lin feel like his stomach was rebelling.
"I was so busy today that I forgot to go to the store to buy some delicious vegetables." Shen Lin picked up a rapeseed and said.
The rapeseed itself is tender enough, and it tastes even better after being stir-fried with lard and oil residue. As soon as Shen Lin took a bite, he felt a feeling of explosion rising in his heart.
Lu Xiaorong said, "This is already pretty good, what else is there to buy? Shen Lin, let me tell you, we can't be too extravagant when it comes to food."
Although Shen Lin would smile when hearing other things, he would never do as Lu Xiaorong said when it came to eating.
If you don't eat well, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? Moreover, after this era, it is not easy to eat pure and natural food.
"Okay, I got it." Shen Lin agreed without any sincerity.
Lu Xiaorong took two bites of the food and asked casually, "How is your business today?"
"It should be pretty good. I sold all the things I brought. It's just that I was too busy at the time and forgot how much money I earned." When Shen Lin said this, he suddenly thought of himself when he was dozing off, and he felt like he had forgotten something.
Now I think about it, I forgot to count the money I earned today.
Lu Xiaorong said: "Just wait and count."
After the two of them had dinner, Shen Lin insisted on washing the dishes himself. Although Lu Xiaorong also insisted on washing the dishes himself, Shen Lin eventually got there first.
After washing the dishes and walking out of the kitchen, Shen Lin saw Lu Xiaorong reading a book. He didn't say much, and casually took out a handbag with a red five-star print on it from the house.
"What are you doing with the bag?" Lu Xiaorong asked in confusion, looking at the bulging bag.
Shen Lin didn't say anything, but dumped the bag onto the small dining table. With a loud crash, a pile of colorful bills fell onto the table.
There was also a pile of coins jumping rapidly on the table, and even a few coins fell directly under the table.
Lu Xiaorong widened his eyes!
She was in her twenties and it was the first time she had seen so much money. Her first feeling at this moment was that everything in front of her was not real.
My home is not a bank, how can it have so much money?
"This... where did this come from?" Lu Xiaorong felt that her voice was trembling when she said these words, and her tongue was a little dry.
Shen Lin was also shocked by the mountain of money. Although he had been stuffing money into his bag, he never expected that the money he earned would be so shocking when it was poured out.
Looking at Lu Xiaorong who looked surprised and unbelievable, Shen Lin took a breath and said, "These are all earned today. Actually, there is not much. Most of them are small bills of one or two yuan."
Just as Shen Lin was speaking, several ten-yuan notes were suddenly blown out from the pile of money by the wind.
"Let's count first. How much money is this?" Shen Lin quickly changed .
