Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

Not long after, a recruitment notice was published at the gate of Luo's firm and on the advertisement page of "Shen Bao", which caused an uproar in Shanghai.

"To recruit a clerk, it is also required to have attended elementary school or a private school for three years at least... If you graduated from middle school, the salary will be more favorable. What is wrong with Luo's new department store? Is it recruiting clerks or talents? "

In the streets and alleys of Shanghai, crowds of citizens held newspapers, not discussing current affairs news, nor caring about celebrity gossip, but what made them discuss so intensely was actually a job advertisement.

"It's more than that, haven't you seen this article - if the applicant is proficient in one or more foreign languages, the treatment can be further discussed. My God, is this a translator? The requirements are so high, who will go? !"

"Don't you say that grapes are sour because you can't eat grapes, and envy others if you haven't studied. Look, the monthly salary of an ordinary salesperson in Roche Department Store is [-] yuan—I dare say that the whole of Shanghai Beach does not. Is there any store clerk who can get this kind of salary. You said that if you really graduated from middle school and can speak foreign languages, you won’t be paid fifteen or twenty a month..."

"If you really know foreign language, why don't you go to work in a foreign company and become a salesperson?"

"You're right! My cousin is a clerk at Luo's Co., Ltd. He said he doesn't plan to be a clerk anymore, he's going to work as a salesperson in a newly opened store. I heard from him that in addition to the monthly salary, there is also a bonus at the end of the year. Well, the more you sell, the more you earn."

"Really? Actually, I also went to a private school for two years...how about I try it?"

"Actually, I also know a little bit of foreign language. Come here is Kang Mu, go there is a dog, nodding and choking to death, shaking my head and making noise..."

Sitting on the terrace of Charlie's Café opposite Roche Commercial Bank, looking at the bustling scene under the posted recruitment notice, Luo Xiazhi knew that he had already taken the first step.

Starting today, and for a period of one month, apart from "Shenbao", newspapers and magazines of all sizes in Shanghai, including foreign language newspapers, will publish this stunned recruitment notice.

People in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even the whole country will know that Luo's Co., Ltd. will build a large department store on the main road, and this department store will open in a year.

This job posting is just the first step.

Every half a month after that, he will send people to publish advertisements about the future Roche department store on these news media, which may be the luxurious decoration of the building, the information about the products that will be sold in the future, or the opening day. All famous actors and actresses invited.

In short, starting from today, everyone will be full of curiosity about this department store whose name is not even known. Countless people will look forward to the day when the department store will be completed and opened more than Luo Xiazhi!

----------------

The preparations for the department store here are in full swing. Luo Xiazhi is so busy that her feet don't touch the ground. Even Xiaoxiao can't play around with her when she comes home from school on weekends.

After losing ten catties and fainting on the construction site due to heat stroke, Luo Xiazhi was once again sent to "Yingzhou Xiaozhu" in Chongming Island for recuperation.And Luo Yunze ordered him not to return to the city to continue working until his weight returned to his original weight.

Luo Xiazhi didn't even know that he was a workaholic at heart, and now that he was suddenly idle, he felt uncomfortable all over, and wished he could find something to do.

This time, Ah Le listened to the young master's orders very very much, and he didn't even allow the third young master to pick up the phone—since the "typhoon night incident" happened last time, Luo Yunze ordered someone to pull a telephone line to Ying Zhou Xiaozhu.

"Third young master, for lunch today we will have braised trotters, steamed pork with rice flour, sweet and sour short ribs, and finally, lotus root duck soup. Autumn is coming, let's eat some duck to make up for it."

Mrs. Ah Qing, who is now the head of the kitchen, came up with a bowl of freshly stewed bird's nest, while announcing the lunch menu.

She is now a hardcore "Three Young Masters Party".For their family, Luo Xiazhi was simply "reinventing the same kindness". Not only did they let go of the past, but they also gave her a very decent job.

Now that the school has been built, her husband has been hired to work as a janitor in the primary school.The two of them can see each other standing on the playground and the other on the terrace.Both of them don't need to be blown or rained now. Compared with the days of farming with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky, it's like heaven and earth.

"Sister-in-law Ah Qing, this is too much meat, let's make some vegetarian dishes."

Hearing the "meat, heaven and earth" menu, Luo Xiazhi almost fainted.

"Third young master, the eldest young master said that if you don't regain your original weight within a month, all the workers in our kitchen will be fired."

"what?"

Are big capitalists so unreasonable?

Mrs. Ah Qing resolutely said, "For the work of all of us——Young Master, please work hard to eat meat!"

----------------

After lunch, Luo Xiazhi couldn't wait to walk towards the elementary school.Standing on the terrace and looking down just now, I have seen children running and jumping happily on the newly built cinder track playground between classes.The roofs of the two brand new school buildings on one side are red, and the two dormer windows on the roof are like two big eyes, and the whole school looks full of vitality.

Ah Qing's wife's man, that is, the school worker Ah Qing, enthusiastically brought him into the principal's office.

Unexpectedly, the principal who came to entertain him was not Gu Hanlin.

"Principal Gu has gone back? Back to Shanghai?"

Looking at Principal Wang, who was over fifty years old, with a kind face and KFC colonel demeanor, Luo Xiazhi asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I got seriously ill two months ago, but the school repairs can't be left unattended. The Education Bureau in Shanghai sent Principal Gu to take care of it temporarily. After the school repairs are completed and the school starts for about a week, Principal Gu I went back."

That is, Gu Hanlin returned to Shanghai half a month ago...

Principal Wang said charitably, "I heard from the workers that Mr. Luo is a good man, and he helped the school workers during the typhoon. Thank you so much."

Rorschach lowered his head and smiled.

A few traces of dissatisfaction crept up in my heart.

This is the sworn brother, who left the island and returned to Shanghai, but he didn't even look for him.Where is the dignified Luo mansion, who doesn't know in Shanghai, who doesn't know?

Or is it that he has encountered difficulties again and cannot contact him?

After bidding farewell to the principal, Luo Xiazhi returned to "Yingzhou Xiaozhu", looked at the figures of the children returning from school under a violet glow, and sighed desolately.

"Third young master, someone is visiting."

Ale knocked on the door and poked his head in.

"Who?"

Who would purposely come to this isolated island to visit him?

"Well...it's the fat sergeant from the police station."

Ale scratched his head in embarrassment, "There is another child."

Child?

----------------

The portly police chief, surnamed Zhang, after exchanging pleasantries with Rorschach, very rudely used his short, fat fingers to grab the freshly made chocolate almond biscuits on the coffee table.

"We have nothing to do with this kid. There is no orphanage on the island, and his relatives are not willing to take him in..."

Director Zhang ordered a sip of black tea, enjoying himself.

"His parents are in prison now, and people in the same village don't want to see him. You see, we have no choice. After all, the police station is an office, not a shelter, right?"

The director patted the biscuit crumbs on his hands, and pulled a scruffy boy who kept his head down and said nothing to Luo Xiazhi.

"This is Axiang's son Xiaoye, who is 13 years old this year. Axiang and her husband are the only child together. Now that they are both in prison, the child will not be taken care of. He is clever. After a few meals, he unexpectedly He ran to our police station and refused to leave."

Director Zhang hiccupped, "Well, Young Master Luo, I heard that you are a well-known benevolent person, can you...take me in for a while?"

Luo Xiazhi looked at the boy with low brows and pleasing to the eye, and really couldn't figure out what logic it was. He wanted to adopt the son of the couple who had harmed him...

Does he look like a "Mother"?

Before Director Zhang left, he packed away a whole box of snacks, leaving behind that poor lonely boy——Li Ye.

That night, Luo Xiazhi and Ale looked at the skinny boy with their mouths wide open. With the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves and the jingle of bells, they successively killed a whole candy hoof, a bowl of braised large intestine and leftovers from lunch. The next half pot of old duck soup.

"Hiccup..."

After a long and full belch, Li Ye wiped his mouth, pushed away the seat, and knocked his head three times to Rorschach.

"Master, my Xiaoye's life will be yours from now on!"

The boy's eyes were firm and clear, like a puppy, but it was a pity that his slightly trembling knees betrayed him, revealing the fear and anxiety in the boy's heart.

"Master, I know that my parents did something wrong and hurt you... I don't have much to say, I give my life to you, and I use my whole life to atone for my parents! From now on, Take care of the young master."

"Master! Is he repaying his favor? He is competing with me for a job!"

Al said angrily.

The author has something to say: I reduced the three-year construction period to one year, otherwise the time would be too long.

The second child to be raised is here haha.

What I want to raise now is Xiaoxiao and Xiaoye, a daughter and a son~~
