Caroline sold a total of 12 yuan worth of goods that day. Although it was less than one-third of Vivienne's sales, she received fewer customers. She was satisfied with the result, but she didn't know that Ms. Green What will be the evaluation.

Speaking of Ms. Green, Caroline rarely saw her.Vivian helped her answer some small doubts at work, and she really didn't encounter any questions that needed to be consulted with Ms. Green in the past week.

Originally thought that, as the "head of department", she would come to observe her work status from time to time, but except for the assessment of whether Caroline had the ability to independently receive customers, she never showed up.

Caroline also found that Ms. Green had her own office on the second floor like the manager, Mr. Adler, which made Caroline even more curious about Ms. Green's identity.In this day and age, it is not an easy task for a female manager to enjoy the same treatment as a manager in a large shopping mall like Max.

After the closing bell of the shopping mall rang, Caroline and everyone went to the lounge on the third floor.

Every Saturday after the mall closes, the salesmen of each division and other staff of the mall will have a summary meeting here. To put it bluntly, the manager, Mr. Adler, will come to summarize the business situation of the mall this week, and issue a summary meeting for this week. employee salaries, and salesperson commissions from last Saturday to this Friday.

Banking services have not yet entered the lives of ordinary people. It is not easy to open a bank account. Except for the rich and businessmen, not many people use bank checks, not to mention that people generally believe in the feeling of holding banknotes in their hands.

The same is true for Meisi Department Store's salary payment. It is said that after the "summary meeting" is over, everyone queues up to receive the salary settled in cash.Caroline and everyone waited for the manager to come, and the news that she had read before unconsciously appeared in her mind: "The company will distribute cash dividends at the end of the year, and each employee will receive XX million cash." The picture shows the boss standing in front of a table full of pink banknotes , shaking hands with the employees who came forward to receive dividends one by one, each with a pile of cash...

To be honest, I was kind of looking forward to it.

According to the initials of the surnames, men and women stood separately into three rows and had their own fixed positions.

Caroline is on probation, so she stands behind everyone and can see everyone.Most of the women's Caroline can be called by name, and the rest have some impressions. Because most of the male salespersons work on the second and third floors, they have less contact with them, and many of them are not familiar with them.

Another dark-haired boy stood at the end, beside Caroline,

"Hi, I'm Daniel, you're new here too, right?"

"My name is Caroline. I'm trying it on in the hat accessories area. How about you?" The boy looked very young, and his black hair and black eyes evoked a little intimacy in Caroline's heart.

"I know you, I'm in the men's clothing section. We should be the only ones still trying it out. What do you think? Is it possible to stay?"

These words instantly wiped out the goodwill that had just formed in Caroline's heart.She hates people who ask others how they are doing right after a test.

"It's just... okay."

"I think both of us will stay. After all, it's not difficult to be a salesperson. By the way, did Jason tell you about the salary of regular employees before? He told me that regular employees are nine yuan a week, but I asked others, and they have Take ten bucks, and twelve. That's kind of unfair, isn't it? Oh, I forgot, you're downstairs, and you're supposed to be in Ms. Green's charge."

Caroline began to think he was getting loud, but she could hear something else in his words.

The Jason he mentioned should be Jason Harrington, the person in charge of the men's clothing section on the second floor. The authenticity of the news should be unmistakable.It seems that the newly hired salesperson on the men's clothing side is paid nine yuan a week, which is one yuan higher than what Mr. Adler told her before.Although it is known that there will be wage differences between men and women in this era, even this problem has not been completely resolved until 100 years later.But hearing it at first made Caroline a little depressed.

"I think we should wait quietly first, look, the manager is here," Caroline signaled Mr. Adler who was walking up the stairs, and didn't want to speak again.

"Hey, all right."

Mr. Adler first thanked everyone for their week's work, then named and praised the counters with outstanding sales, and then asked everyone to come forward to receive wages in order. Unfortunately, the probationary employees were not counted in it.

"Mr. Forlinster and Ms. Mibo, please stay here first, and the rest of you can go home. Thank you all, and I hope you will work harder next week!"

After Mr. Adler announced the end of the meeting, the employees broke up into several groups in an instant, and walked downstairs holding the soft banknotes wrapped in kraft paper in their hands.

Several unmarried girls working on the first floor gathered in a group and walked behind, chattering and joking with each other. Vivienne and Annie from the cosmetics section were also there.When passing by Caroline, Vivienne gave her an encouraging look, and Annie came up and shook her hand to calm her down.

Caroline felt warm in her heart. When she turned around, she found Ms. Green standing behind her and Daniel.

"You two, come with me."

Ms. Green took them to the manager's office.

Daniel went in with Ms. Green first, while Caroline was arranged to wait at the door.

The feeling of waiting to be paid is good, but the feeling of waiting for the trial results to be announced on the spot is not so good.Caroline walked back and forth a few times at the door of the manager's room, and finally stopped two meters away from the door.

The sound insulation of the wooden door was average, and she knew that she could hear the conversation inside if she walked a few steps forward, but eavesdropping is not a good habit, so she stood still and didn't move.

About 2 minutes later, the door was pushed open with a "swish", and Daniel strode out.

His complexion was not good, and he left without looking at Caroline.

"Miss Mibo, please come in." The manager's voice came out.

After entering the door, she first looked at the two "bosses".

Mr. Adler still had a friendly face, and Ms. Green still had a decent smile on her face, but Caroline was inexplicably more nervous.

"Miss Mibo, Ms. Green has the right to decide on your job inspection, so I won't make any comments on your work this week," the manager said first.

Caroline nodded, indicating that she knew.

"However, I can tell you the final result first," the manager continued, and Caroline's heart rose instantly.

"You were hired."

Caroline's mind went blank for a moment, and then a feeling of joy gradually flooded her heart.

"Fred, you are always in a hurry to announce the good news. I'm afraid Caroline won't be able to listen to me later," Ms. Green said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will definitely listen to your guidance," Caroline quickly promised.

"Caroline, you are very young, too young is not a good thing here," Ms. Green said.Although Caroline's mental age was older than her appearance, she couldn't refute it.

"Are you trying to say that you are not young? But when you and Vivienne received that couple yesterday, your performance was not too mature."

Caroline couldn't help showing puzzled eyes, she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

"You have a little emotion, right? Why do you think customers can't feel it?"

"Ah... so you know everything," Caroline quietly rubbed her fingers, lowered her head and said embarrassingly.

"As long as I want to know, there is nothing in the mall that can be hidden from me." Ms. Green's eyes that seemed to see through everything fell on Caroline's face.

She was clearly not a few years younger than Ms. Green in her previous life, but every time she was in front of Ms. Green, she felt like a child being taught and educated, and there was nowhere to hide any small thoughts.

"You have your good points, Caroline. You like this place, you like these products, and you look at these things rationally, unlike some girls who just come up and get mesmerized," Ms. Green said.

"But a good salesperson needs a little more life experience at the same time. He must be able to understand the customer's desire for products, and he must also be able to see whether the customer has the ability to buy. He must also learn to control his emotions and treat all customers equally."

"I see," Caroline nodded solemnly.

"You still don't know," Ms. Green shook her head with a smile, stepped forward, and lifted Caroline's chin slightly with her fingertips, "We are salesmen, and we can't hold our heads up or down in front of customers." ".

"But you'll know, before long," she said, beckoning to Mr. Adler.

"The class is over?" the manager joked, then opened the drawer and took out a paper envelope, and handed it to Caroline with a smile,

"This is the weekly salary. Starting next week, it will be eight yuan a week, plus two points of commission. Finally, the same sentence, I hope you will work harder next week."

"Thank you, sir." Caroline took her salary, turned to Ms. Green, and sincerely thanked her, "Thank you too, Ms. Green."

……

Although Ms. Green said that she still has a lot to improve, Caroline still feels that this is a disguised form of encouragement for her.

Moreover, when Caroline returned to the lounge, she opened the paper envelope and found that in addition to a five-dollar bill, there was also a one-dollar "bonus" and a small card that said "Please keep working hard".

When she walked out of the shopping mall, she couldn't help but feel joy in her heart, and even her steps became brisk.When I got off work on the first day, the heavy legs after standing for a day have gradually become a habit now.Tired will still be tired, but it will not be unbearable anymore.

Caroline was fascinated by the aroma of coffee coming from the open-air coffee table as she passed the Deeborn corner café.The smell reminded her that she used to be a girl who drank coffee and milk tea every day. At that time, she felt that the freedom of coffee and milk tea represented a quality of life and a "right to choose".

Holding the small packet containing her salary, Caroline had an irresistible urge in her heart. She wanted to walk into that coffee shop immediately, and order a cup of her favorite cappuccino, which would make her feel alive , truly alive, she needs this feeling.

But after standing there for a full minute, she still forced herself to move away from the coffee shop step by step and headed home.

The desire to consume is always increasing, and the little money she just got is not enough to spend. Now she has no "right to choose" at all, so why use a cup of coffee to maintain the illusion?

However, when passing by a butcher shop near Van Buren Street, Caroline went in and bought a pound of bacon for the family for two cents.

Minnie doesn’t have a refrigerator at home, so this marinated bacon can be stored for a longer period of time, whether it’s stewed or directly fried.Minnie said yesterday that she would wait for her to go home for dinner tonight, and said vaguely that there are actually a lot of job opportunities in Chicago, so don’t worry her too much.Caroline knew that Minnie was comforting her because she was too nervous.

Although Caroline knew that as soon as she could afford it, she would move out of Minnie's small apartment without any privacy, but she was still very grateful for the warmth Minnie gave her these days.

Before entering the house, she took out three pieces of the five yuan she had just changed, wrapped them in the original paper and put them away, and gave them to Minnie later, and put the rest of the money in the middle.

Both Minnie and Hansheng were there, and when Caroline announced that she had successfully become a regular employee, Minnie gave her a big hug, and Hansheng also showed a rare smile,

Although this smile was revealed after Caroline had paid for her room and board, she didn't care.
