Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Liao Yunyun is indeed very efficient. She would get news on the matter she was entrusted with at noon by the evening.

The other party was a girl around 26 or 27 years old. She mentioned it briefly to her colleague at noon, and after hearing it, her colleague immediately recommended his relative, who seemed to be a distant cousin of her colleague. They had a normal relationship originally, but they met by chance at the base after the apocalypse. After the two families started to interact again, their relationship became a little closer.

In fact, Liao Yunyun had some concerns about the person recommended by her colleagues, mainly because she had not found a suitable person yet, but she did not want to rashly introduce someone whose background was unclear to Gu Tongwan.

Gu Tongwan called to ask about the colleague's usual personality. Liao Yunyun said that she had a good relationship with her colleague. Although they were not in the same department, they would chat with each other when they met. He was very generous and open-minded. However, she didn't know what kind of character the relative was.

"How about this, let her come here for a trial period for a few days. If there are no major problems, she will be made a regular employee. The salary for the trial period will be 20 points per day, and she will still have a normal day off on Sundays. After she is made a regular employee, her salary will be calculated based on 600 points per month."

Gu Tongwan thought about it for a while and finally decided to hire the person first. Although Liao Yunyun said that her relationship with the other party was average, in fact, if you think about it carefully, according to Liao Yunyun's carefree personality, there are things that she can't refuse, which proves that the other party is most likely her superior in the unit. In this case, it is better to let Liao Yunyun be a better person in the unit. She can also use the opportunity of the trial work to observe whether the other party is suitable for working in the store. If not, she can just refuse politely.

Early the next morning, the girl introduced by Liao Yunyun was waiting outside the store. She was a young woman dressed quite fashionably. Even though the temperature was four or five degrees in the morning, she was still wearing a short skirt and tights, a pair of mid-calf boots, and only a light pink tweed coat on the outside.

The girl turned her eyes away from her phone when she heard the sound of the car starting.

The girl only looked at Gu Tongwan after she saw her get off the car.

When Gu Tongwan opened the store, her dressing style was usually as simple and convenient as possible, mostly sportswear or casual clothes. Now that the weather was cold, she still wore a velvet sports suit inside, but also a long army green work jacket outside. She also always wore a baseball cap and black-framed glasses, so even when she walked on the street she would not attract too much attention, unless people looked closely to find that she was too beautiful.

That girl was half a head shorter than Gu Tongwan, but she was wearing high heels, so her original height was probably only about 1.5253 meters. However, when she raised her head, her eyes were filled with inquiry and a hint of disdain.

But soon the girl smiled again, "Are you the boss here, your last name is Gu?"

"Yes, my name is Gu Tongwan, and I own this shop. Are you Zhou Xiaojuan? Are you here to apply for the position of salesperson?"

The girl nodded perfunctorily, as if she was not satisfied with the job as a salesperson, so her attitude towards Gu Tongwan was not particularly warm.

Gu Tongwan didn't care about these things. Anyway, she was looking for people to come to work. As long as they were diligent and serious and could do the job well, it would be fine. As for the relationship with the other party, it was just that of employer and employee, not making friends, so she didn't care about the other party's opinion.

Zhou Xiaojuan slowly followed Gu Tongwan into the store. When she saw that the store was only about 20 square meters, a flash of disdain flashed in her eyes, but she did not show it on her face. After all, she thought that just by looking around the store, she could get 600 points of pocket money a month, which was about the same salary as her previous job, but there was too much work to do there. Although Zhou Xiaojuan's family conditions were ordinary since she was a child, she was an only child and her parents treated her like the apple of their eye. She had never suffered any hardship since she was a child. From kindergarten to college graduation, her family arranged almost everything for her. Until the two years after graduating from college before the end of the world, she also got a sinecure in the company of her parents' friends. Except for sending and receiving materials, she spent the rest of her time either playing on the computer or on her mobile phone.

Later, after the apocalyptic natural disaster, Zhou Xiaojuan followed her parents into the rescue center. Fortunately, the family survived various natural disasters and successfully entered the base. Her parents were both technicians before the apocalypse, and they could find suitable jobs even after entering the base. Only Zhou Xiaojuan encountered difficulties in finding a job until last year when she met a relative on her mother's side. It turned out that this relative was a small leader of a unit at the base. At the beginning, Zhou Xiaojuan was directly arranged to work in the field, with the aim of training Zhou Xiaojuan to become a qualified reporter. However, because Zhou Xiaojuan really couldn't bear the hardship and her parents were worried about the danger of field missions, she was later arranged to work as a clerk in another small company. There were only five people in that small company. Zhou Xiaojuan's job was a secretary. In addition to the daily sending and receiving of documents, she also had to deal with various chores. Although she had a day off on weekends, she could not get off work until at least seven or eight o'clock every day. Her monthly salary was only five hundred and fifty. Later, she encountered a period of extreme heat and acid rain. The company was closed for a period of time and could not hold on. It had no benefits and delayed paying wages. Zhou Xiaojuan simply resigned and left after she couldn't stand it anymore.

I received a call from my parents this afternoon and got a general idea of ​​the work content and remuneration here. To be honest, Zhou Xiaojuan was quite looking forward to it at first. After all, it sounded like an easy job. But after coming here, she was really disappointed. In addition, she thought that she was a college student after all, and being a salesperson was too unworthy of her status.

Therefore, Liao Yunyun currently feels that she has "condescended" to come here to experience life and work, so she somewhat looks down on this salesperson job.

Gu Tongwan turned his back to Liao Yunyun and began to organize the shelves, saying calmly, "Originally, this place opens at 7:30 every day. Normally, the salesperson should arrive half an hour earlier and organize the shelves. Then I will bring the goods over around 5 pm every day. You can also organize them before leaving get off work, so that you can arrive a little later in the morning. Oh, by the way, the time to get off work is 6:30 pm, but the temperature has dropped recently. In winter, we can close at 6 pm and open at 8 am, which means we spend ten hours in the store every day, and Sunday is a fixed day of rest."

Since the temperature has dropped, there is no need to put the vegetables on the shelves into the space. The store has branches of blood vines she released, so there is no need to worry about the vegetables being gnawed by rats or cockroaches. This does reduce the time spent taking them out of the space and putting them out for sorting every day.

Zhou Xiaojuan had been listening to her from beginning to end, but didn't respond. Gu Tongwan turned her head and asked suspiciously, "Did you hear everything? If you have any questions, you can ask me now."

"I understand. It's from 8am to 6pm. Then you stay a little early or a little later to organize the shelves. What about the salary payment time?"

"The 15th of every month, but you are still in the probation period, which is three days. You will be paid twenty dollars a day for these three days. If you pass the probation period, you will start officially working from the fourth day after the three days." Gu Tongwan replied.

Zhou Xiaojuan nodded nonchalantly: "Well, I understand." But the next moment, she raised her eyebrows and looked at her with some dissatisfaction: "But for a salesperson's job, you still need a probation period?"

"Any job requires an adaptation period. My job here is not difficult. Apart from occasionally tidying up the shelves, I just need to do the bookkeeping. I heard that you are a college graduate, so computer operation should be very easy for you. But to be honest, although the work here is not tiring, it is a bit boring. Another problem is that I come into contact with a lot of customers every day, and each of them has their own personality. Therefore, this job will require a certain amount of patience. The reason why I proposed this trial period is because of this relationship."

In the past ten days since the store opened, it has not been without some strange customers, but Gu Tongwan's policy is generally to remain calm. If he encounters someone who is looking for trouble, he will directly argue back. If he encounters someone who is nagging, he will try to remain silent as much as possible. In any case, it is indeed a good way to exercise the mind.

Regardless of what Zhou Xiaojuan thought in the end, Gu Tongwan simply operated the cash register system again, and began to arrange work for Zhou Xiaojuan. She asked her to put today's vegetable price signs in the appropriate positions according to the vegetable list she printed out in the morning. She herself sorted the oranges and pears that she had taken out last night on the shelf on the right.

Zhou Xiaojuan glanced at the prices on the list and couldn't help asking, "This price is too expensive, is anyone really going to buy it? 61 kilograms of apples? I bought two kilograms at the supply and marketing cooperative the day before yesterday, and they only cost 40 points." Finally, she murmured, "Isn't this a scam?"

Gu Tongwan did not answer this question and was still busy placing the fruits on the shelves. Zhou Xiaojuan sneered as if she was bored, and then began to write the type and price of vegetables on each card.

But when inserting the cards, she also found that the vegetables on the shelf looked really fresh. Although her parents usually bought vegetables for her family, she would occasionally go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fruits or snacks, so she could still compare the quality of fruits and vegetables. For example, the tomatoes in front of her, which were bigger than her fist, looked red, full of color and round. The cucumbers next door were also fresh and tender, unlike the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative, which were green and wilted. Could it be that the fruits and vegetables sold here were all high-end? No wonder the prices were a bit expensive.

After Zhou Xiaojuan finished writing all the cards, Gu Tongwan directly asked her to familiarize herself with the vegetables and fruits currently sold in the store.

"The price of vegetables is not fixed. It will be adjusted according to the weather or market price. The purchase limit for each vegetable is three kilograms. If you encounter customers who want to purchase a large quantity at one time, remember to remind them, because many people do not read the sign in the store."

Zhou Xiaojuan's eyes fell on the sign at the entrance of the store. It did indeed say that the purchase limit for each vegetable was three kilograms, and it also said that the vegetable on sale today was potatoes.

But Zhou Xiaojuan still didn't understand the purchase limit. "Wouldn't it be better to sell them all earlier? Why set a purchase limit of three kilograms?" The vegetables here are so expensive, it's impossible for anyone to buy them all. Is it really that necessary?

“The purpose of the purchase limit is to allow more people to buy the vegetables here. Otherwise, the store will be empty in less than a morning. In fact, this is not good for the early operation and publicity of the store.” Gu Tongwan still wants more people to eat the vegetables grown in his store. If the business can be made, and the space and land can be continuously upgraded in the future, he may be able to expand the operating area of ​​some stores and increase the variety of vegetables.

Zhou Xiaojuan lowered her head disapprovingly. In her opinion, the most important thing was to sell out the goods as soon as possible. However, she still thought that the prices here were on the high side and the number of people who could come to consume was limited. How could she sell out the goods in just one morning?

Because Gu Tongwan gave up the cashier position, Zhou Xiaojuan was really rude. She didn't feel that she was here to work at all, but sat on the chair as if it was her right.

She had used computers before at work, so she had learned the cash register system in less than half an hour. Plus, she hadn't seen any customers yet, so she simply took out her cell phone to play.

After Gu Tongwan finished tidying up all the shelves, he stretched his waist. Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Zhou Xiaojuan playing with her cell phone and secretly laughing. He felt that this girl probably didn't have a very high EQ. How could anyone have so much fun while the boss was working?

It was around 9:30 in the morning. Some people came to the store to buy things one after another. Gu Tongwan asked Zhou Xiaojuan to try to use the cash register system to keep accounts.

Zhou Xiaojuan was indeed quite proficient in computers, so recording orders was not difficult for her, but her attitude was not particularly positive, and her unhurried attitude often made customers wait for a long time when they checked out. Later, after Gu Tongwan reminded her once or twice, she slightly sped up.

At around 11:30 in the morning, there was a peak in customer flow. Probably because they knew her shop was reopened, many regular customers who lived nearby came to buy things. Among them were Zhang Rong and Liu Wanrou. The two of them even chatted with Gu Tongwan for a long time, mainly asking about the reason why the store was closed some time ago, and complaining to her that the quality of the vegetables bought from the supply and marketing cooperative during this period was too poor, which made her family reluctant to eat.

Liu Wanrou's face was bitter when she thought of what she had eaten in the past few days. "Boss, you don't know that my husband and I couldn't eat anything during the time you were away. In the end, we had to go to restaurants every day to cook. But we couldn't stand eating like this every day. A casual meal for two of us would cost nearly 200 points. We spent at least 2,000 points on food in the past five or six days. It would be better for us to buy food from you and cook it at home. So can I have a small request? If you plan to close the store next time, tell me two or three days in advance. I can at least buy some more food from you to keep in the refrigerator to avoid not being able to buy food for a while."

Gu Tongwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. She really didn't expect that the dishes sold in her small shop would make people so picky.

While the three of them were chatting, Zhou Xiaojuan, who was sitting at the cashier counter, sneered, "You've never been to a restaurant before, and you spend 2,000 points on it in a week? You're just bragging without thinking. You're dressed like that and you're pretending to be a rich woman."
