Chapter 309 Fang Qing Comes Looking for a Job

After the name is confirmed, we still have to wait, and it will probably take about two weeks to get the relevant documents.

I also need to register with the Public Security Bureau, the State Taxation Bureau, open a bank account, and so on. By the time all the procedures are completed, the upstairs apartment will be renovated.

We'll get two more big fans to blow some air, and once all the paperwork is done, it should be ready to go.

I work during the day, and occasionally I go upstairs to check on the renovation progress.

After get off work in the evening, she studied the material required for her driver's license test.

It was supposed to be simple, but after she paid the fee and got the material she needed to memorize, she found it was quite a lot.

Time was busy but fulfilling.

That day, Zhou Jing posted a job advertisement on the door.

She was surprised to find that a month had already passed.

The renovation upstairs is almost finished; they're just doing the final touches.

Fu Huaiyi began to get busy.

Perhaps because it was the beginning, I wasn't actually too busy, just occasionally working overtime.

He would call her in advance if he was working overtime, so she wouldn't have to go home to cook and could just eat something outside.

She's almost memorized the traffic regulations and has decided to take the exam during her next day off.

Zhou Jing and the others knew she was preparing to take her driver's license test and teased her about it.

"Yuyao, once you get your driver's license, take us out for fun!"

Lin Yuyao agreed without hesitation, "Okay, let's go together then."

Liu Yihuan said, "But the three of us have different rest periods, how can we go together?"

Uh……

Zhou Jing chuckled and patted the job posting on the wall, saying, "They're hiring right now. Once we've trained the new recruits, we can take a break when we're not busy and go out together. We've known each other for so long, but we've never gone out together before."

"Okay, let's go see the maple leaves in autumn. I know a place that's really beautiful in autumn."

"Okay, Huanhuan, you know this area well, so it's up to you where you go."

It's only the beginning of summer, and they're already thinking about traveling in the fall.

As the group was talking, someone Lin Yuyao didn't want to see appeared at the door.

The person who came in was Fang Qing, who was craning her neck to look inside.

Lin Yuyao didn't want to entertain her, so she went inside to organize the bookshelves.

Zhou Jing greeted her with a smile, "What would you like to buy?"

Fang Qing pointed to the job posting on the door and asked, "Are you hiring?"

Zhou Jing's smile froze, and she said, "Yes."

"Do you think I'm suitable? I'm from the same place as Lin Yuyao, I..."

“We do have requirements, but we don’t consider place of origin.” Zhou Jing interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

Fang Qing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What are your requirements?"

"You need at least a junior high school education, do you have that?"

Fang Qing: "..."

One sentence shut her down.

“Even though you’re a bookstore, you don’t need to be so cultured to sell books. I can do accounting. I used to be a salesman at a grain and oil store, so I can be a salesman at a bookstore too.”

Zhou Jing laughed sarcastically, "A grain and oil shop? Is that the one that weighs the wrong items three times a day?"

Fang Qing's smile froze.

Zhou Jing continued, "Our shop is too small to accommodate someone as important as you. I suggest you look for other places."

Fang Qing's expression changed, and she asked, "Is it because of Lin Yuyao?"

Lin Yuyao, who was organizing the bookshelves inside: "..."

Who did I offend?

"She must have said bad things about me to you. I have some personal grudges with her, so she definitely didn't have any nice things to say."

Lin Yuyao threw the book aside, strode out, and angrily pointed at the job posting, saying, "It clearly states here that a junior high school education is required, and it applies to everyone, not just you. I know you didn't finish elementary school, so do you not recognize all the characters? Do you want me to read it to you?"

These words were a slap in the face to Fang Qing, stinging her deeply.

Zhou Jing was originally unsure whether Fang Qing had a junior high school diploma or not.

Lin Yuyao's words were tantamount to telling them that Fang Qing couldn't even produce an elementary school graduation certificate.

Zhou Jing was both angry and amused. "Is that all? Where did you get the courage to apply for a bookstore sales clerk position? A customer asks you to get a book, and you can't even read all the words. How are you supposed to help them get it?"

"I……"

"Alright, alright, that's enough. We don't need you here. Go on your way."

Zhou Jing immediately ushered her outside.

Fang Qing felt extremely embarrassed by Zhou Jing's actions of kicking her out, and angrily said, "Don't push me. You're just an employee too. Who do you think you are?"

“I didn’t feel uncomfortable, but the boss trusted me and made me the store manager.”

"The store manager is just an employee."

“It’s for working, but I decide what kind of people I need and who I need to hire.” Zhou Jing lost her patience and said directly to her, “I’m telling you clearly, I don’t need you here, so go.”

Fang Qing suppressed her anger again, hesitated, and opened and closed her mouth several times.

Finally, she calmed down and pleaded, "We're all women, and I know you have a child too. It's not easy for anyone. Please give me a chance."

If you had said that earlier, Zhou Jing wouldn't have been so rude.

However, we still won't use her, since she probably can't even read all the characters and wouldn't be able to serve books to guests.

Liu Yihuan came out, sighed, and pointed to the job posting, saying, "This isn't a rule we set; it's the boss's. You need to show him your junior high school diploma; I'm going to show it to him later. Our store manager is just an employee too; telling her won't help. We really can't hire you."

Liu Yihuan is a gentle person, and he kindly advised her.

"Huh? Then... what about the boss?"

"I don't know either. The boss has other things to do and only comes once a month. You don't need to go to her. You're really not suited to work at the bookstore."

In the end, Fang Qing walked away with her head down.

Zhou Jing snorted and said, "Huanhuan, you have a good temper. It's infuriating to see her spewing such nonsense. She's incompetent herself, yet she claims that Yuyao spoke ill of her, as if we're targeting her. Let's not forget that she didn't even finish elementary school, so she's incapable of doing this job. Even if she had the qualifications, I wouldn't hire her; her character is terrible."

Liu Yihuan said, "We're here to do business, it's not good for her to cause trouble."

Yes, that's true.

"Yuyao, why is she out looking for work? Doesn't she have a man supporting her?"

Lin Yuyao shook her head. "I don't know either."

That's a bit strange.

In her previous life, before she even married Lu Jiangting, he supported her for her entire life.

Now that she's married, no one would say anything if she received all the money, so why is she looking for a job?

Lin Yuyao hadn't called home in a long time, so after work, she went to a phone booth to call her parents.

After exchanging pleasantries, the topic turned to the Lu family.

"You mean them? Lu Cong wasn't feeling well and just came back from the hospital."

"Hospitalized?"

"Yes."

Strange, this never happened in my past life. He was hospitalized two years later in my past life.

It's ahead of schedule?
