301: Xie Rong Applies for a Job (2 Updates)
At that time, she was without money, and it seemed she was also lacking a tendon in her brain, not thinking things through thoroughly.
It was not until her meridians were opened, her Dantian engaged in Qi cultivation, and her nature became open-minded, absorbing many things from the space, that she realized how superficial she once was.
The Li family was quite surprised, but nodded.
“I have taken note. When the Governor’s Office pletes the house transfer agreement, we will then invite Xie Zhinuan to the Governor’s Office. Rest assured, I will definitely negotiate a lower price for you so you won’t overpay!”
“I appreciate it very much!”
Not many people knew that Xie Zhinuan wanted to buy a manor.
However, Li Hengyi was aware of it.
The moment Kechanglai posted a notice for recruiting a manager, several candidates immediately showed up, all middle-aged men who looked shrewd and capable.
There was also a young man in clean clothes, who was pale and looked depressed and gloomy.
Such a person, it seemed, should be unfortable and unwele.
But when Xie Zhinuan saw him for the first time, she took an immediate liking to him, especially seeing his reddened eyes and the tearful look in them, as if he was about to cry. She was truly afraid he might burst into tears.
“…”
After a moment of silence, Xie Zhinuan asked, “May I know where you gentlemen have previously found employment?”
The middle-aged men each recounted their experiences as managers in various places, how many years they had worked, and why they came to Fengping County.
Finally, it was the young man’s turn.
“And what about you, young master?”
Xie Rong stood up, cupped his fists and bowed, “In response to the young lady, I have never worked as a manager. I spent a few years studying at home during my youth, and also learned some arithmetic. I left home this time to relax and to broaden my horizons, but also to avoid my mother’s pressure for an arranged marriage, pushing me to marry a girl I do not like!”
“If the young lady hires me as the manager, I will exert my utmost effort to provide strategies for you, ensuring that your establishment will thrive and expand throughout Dazhou!”
The older managers looked somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
Xie Zhinuan couldn’t help but laugh, “I am only hiring a manager, not a Staff Officer!”
“Actually, young lady, you also need a Staff Officer!” Xie Rong said, adding, “My name is Xie, with the given name Rong.”
“Xie Rong?”
Sometimes, whether or not you take a liking to someone, or let’s say destiny, is very simple.
Or perhaps, the bond of blood kinship and family, even without knowing who Xie Rong was, made her feel that he was a decent person. Although he seemed rather grim, he was definitely a man with a story.
She pondered for a moment, “Then stay, I do indeed need someone to represent me in certain matters!”
As for the manager, she chose a local from Fengping County town, someone whose entire family lived in the town. Such a person, due to family responsibilities, would be restrictive in their actions, not daring to act impulsively, since any trouble would implicate the family.
With two more people on board, there were many benefits for Xie Zhinuan. She could leave Kechanglai to the manager to handle while she took care of other matters.
And now there was also Xie Rong.
Xie Rong, well, he truly could not do much of anything, only good at armchair strategizing without practical experience. She had been drawn into his convoluted talks several times, which indicated he was well-read, but he had no real-world practice at all.
Xie Zhinuan felt some sympathy for the woman who would marry him.
Faced with such a nimble talker who could hardly get anything right, she felt as an employer, it was necessary to discipline him properly to spare future embarrassment. To make a minor mistake was one thing, but to bungle affairs and offend people, inviting troubles and conflicts, was quite another.
