PFC Chapter 151 Old Clothes
Chapter 151 Old Clothes
Knowing that a new employee was coming, Hua Lichu arranged things at the clothing store and then rushed back to her rented apartment.
Since I had some free time, I took out the sales summary and invoices from the previous two days and calculated the costs and profits.
But just as she sat down, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, it was Li Liangping!
Hua Lichu glanced at her watch subconsciously; it was only nine o'clock.
She was surprised, but smiled and said, "Uncle, you've come?"
Li Liangping smiled and nodded, then stepped aside to let Yang Qi and Yang Daya behind him pass.
In fact, the two of them were about the same age as Hua Lichu, but they were only up to Hua Lichu's ears.
She was thin and small, dark-skinned and dry, looking malnourished.
His clothes were faded and patched, his trousers were obviously too short, revealing a section of his ankle, and he wore straw sandals.
At this moment, the two of them crossed their hands in front of their lower abdomens, lowered their heads, and let Hua Lichu look them over.
Hua Lichu, sensing their unease, glanced at them briefly, less than three seconds later, and smiled:
"You must be Daya and Qiqi, right? I'm Hua Lichu. I spoke with you on the phone yesterday."
Hearing the familiar voice, Yang Daya looked up in shock, her mouth slightly agape.
Is this their boss?
Why does it look so small?
Yang Qi tugged at Yang Daya's sleeve and nodded frantically: "I am Yang Qi."
"I am Yang Daya."
"Okay, you can come in first."
Hua Lichu stepped aside to let the three of them into the room and explained, "The clothing store is busy, so Auntie probably won't have time to come over until noon."
"Work is the priority," the three said in unison.
Hua Lichu smiled and poured a glass of water for each of them: "Would you like to rest first, or start working right away?"
Upon hearing that there was work to be done right away, the three of them unanimously agreed to start working immediately.
Hua Lichu led the three directly to the warehouse and demonstrated to them how to iron clothes, pack them, and so on. Seeing that they were getting the hang of it, she said:
"I have some things to do right now, you guys keep busy here."
My aunt and I will come over at noon to bring you lunch. We'll discuss the specific work arrangements after everyone arrives. As for any questions about daily life, you can ask my aunt or me, either is fine.”
"Okay, you're busy, you're busy."
Hua Lichu delivered another batch of clothing to the clothing store and helped out there.
In the afternoon, Hua Anshan also arrived with Yan Mobai.
Hua Lichu did not give them any time to rest, and took them directly to the warehouse to help organize the clothes.
With the addition of these five people, Hua Lichu and her group no longer needed to come to the warehouse to process goods at night.
Around 8 or 9 p.m., Hua Lichu arrived at the warehouse ahead of time. Estimating that the clothes she had organized were enough to sell the next day, she immediately called for a halt to the sale.
She called the five people to her and said, "My name is Hua Lichu. I currently own a fried chicken and milk tea shop, a boutique, a clothing store, and a warehouse."
Previously, there were four long-term workers: Hua and Qiu, Yan Moli, and two other young girls, who were the ones who called you over.
The clothing store and this warehouse were opened on a whim during the summer vacation, so we are short-staffed.
All five of you are currently considered short-term employees, or you could say you're in a probationary period. Because I don't know you well enough yet, your job duties are still undetermined.
But it's just helping out in these four places.
One month later, I will keep those who perform well.
As for salary and benefits, the probationary period salary is 120 per month. After you become a full-time employee, you will have two options to choose from...
The five people stood silently in place, listening intently to what Hua Lichu had to say.
After Hua Lichu finished speaking, Hua Heqiu and Yan Moli took the group to buy toiletries and arrange accommodation.
Because they needed the staff urgently, Hua and Qiu didn't have time to look at houses at all.
Therefore, for the time being, Hua Anshan and Li Liangping will have to sleep with Hua Yuansheng.
Yan Mobai and the other two squeezed in with Hua Heqiu and two other employees.
Fortunately, it's summer now, so we can sleep on the floor; otherwise, it's hard to say how many people could fit.
Hua Lichu sighed inwardly when she thought of Yang Qi and Yang Daya's patched clothes and straw sandals.
"Sis, where are our old clothes and shoes?"
Thanks to adequate nutrition, the two sisters have grown taller and stronger over the past year.
Because they run a boutique, neither of them lacks clothes.
In addition, Hua Yuansheng often wanted to dress up his two granddaughters, so Hua Lichu and her sister had quite a lot of things left over.
Hua Antao thought those things were all very good, they weren't broken, and she couldn't bear to throw them away.
Upon hearing that his younger sister was looking for old clothes, he immediately dropped what he was doing and rummaged through the old clothes.
"You want to give it to Yang Qi and Daya?"
"Yes, their clothes have too many patches. If customers see that, it won't look good."
Hua Lichu squatted on the ground, carefully examining the old clothes, comparing them to the figures of Yang Qi and the other person in her mind.
She dug out her old shoes again, but it seemed she didn't know their shoe size.
Hua Lichu, carrying four sets of clothes, knocked on the door next door: "Yang Qi, Yang Daya?"
"Young boss?" The two walked over nervously and looked at Hua Lichu.
"Your clothes have too many patches; it's not good for the guests to see them."
These are clothes that my sister and I no longer wear. If you don't mind, you can take them and wear them.
None of these clothes have any holes, and the quality is quite good. If you mind, that's fine too.
"I can give you 10 yuan in advance so you can buy clothes at the store," Hua Lichu said.
Yang Qi and Yang Daya stared in disbelief at the clothes in Hua Lichu's arms, and said blankly, "Such nice clothes, are they for us to wear?"
"Yeah, it's just sitting there anyway."
After carefully observing them and confirming that they genuinely didn't mind, Hua Lichu continued, "I still have some old shoes. What size do you wear?"
"36."
Are both of them?
"Correct."
"That's quite a coincidence. My sister and I also wear size 36. Wait here, I'll go get you your shoes."
The old clothes and shoes that Hua Lichu brought over were all washed clean and carefully stored away.
Aside from not being new enough, it has no other problems.
Yang Qi and Yang Daya touched the clothes and shoes in their hands with great delight, so happy that they didn't know what to say.
This is the first time in their lives they've ever worn such new clothes!
Because Old Man Yang had a total of eight children, his family was extremely poor.
As his second youngest child, Yang Qi wore hand-me-downs from his older siblings from childhood to adulthood.
Those clothes were worn by the third brother, then the fourth brother, then the fifth brother.
Even if the wearer cherishes a piece of clothing, it can't withstand the number of people wearing it.
By the time it reached her, it was almost entirely covered in patches.
As for Yang Daya, there's no need to even mention her.
Therefore, the old clothes that Hua Lichu mentioned, in the eyes of Yang Qi and Yang Daya, had neither patches nor holes, and were practically brand new.
The two were overjoyed, but they were too tongue-tied to express themselves, so they could only keep thanking Hua Lichu.
Hua Lichu waved her hand and went back.
Watching Hua Lichu's departing figure, Yang Qi and Yang Daya could only keep repeating, "The young boss is such a kind person..."
