Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Sowhat Intoxicated Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Sowhat Intoxicated ng Chuyue thought for a mont before leaving the house the next day, then turned back and placed a recording pen in both ng Wanhua’s bedroom and the living room.
She wrapped the one for the living room in a tissue and hid it in the corner of the shoe cabinet, inside one of Wanhua’s clean cotton slippers.
The one for the bedroom, she wrapped in one of her own undergarnts.
After doing this, she went to report the installation of a telephone at the store to the relevant departnt, and then directly visited the hos of the two young girls who had worked part-ti the day before last.
Their hos happened to be neighbors—one sold noodles, the other sold children’s clothes.
ng Chuyue called the two girls together and explained her intentions openly, “I’ve been a bit tied up recently and was looking for soone to help watch the store.
Are you interested?”
The two girls, one nad Tong Wen and the other Xia Ping, both had nice personalities.
After their high school entrance examination failures led them to drop out, they wanted to find jobs but couldn’t land any that they really liked.
Their families each ran a store and their parents were hardworking; thus, there wasn’t much for them to do.
Chuyue’s Fruit Store was close to their hos, the work was clean and easy, and since they had earned forty yuan that day, they were a bit excited.
The two were good friends, and they exchanged delighted glances.
The straightforward Tong Wen asked, “What are you going to do?
How long will you be gone?”
The sweet and soft Xia Ping nodded along, “Yeah, yeah, tell us quickly.”
ng Chuyue hesitated for a mont before deciding to tell the truth, “I want to take this year’s middle school exam.”
Tong Wen and Xia Ping looked at each other in confusion.
The middle school exam?
If they rembered correctly, ng Chuyue was only a year younger than them, already eighteen years old.
At this age, taking the middle school exam this year, even if she managed to get into high school, three years later at the college entrance exam, she would be twenty-two years old…
If she was successful in the college exams, after finishing university, she would definitely be considered an older young woman…
She seed so smart and capable—why would she opt for such an unlikely path?
Xia Ping thought this way, but her doubts were vocalized.
ng Chuyue gave a slight smile, “When I studied before, I always scored full marks on every test.
Two years ago, I fell ill unexpectedly and missed the middle school exam.
However, I’ve been self-studying these past two years, originally just to improve my knowledge.
The day before yesterday, I ran into my forr headteacher who advised that as a young person, especially a girl, the best way to have a free life is to acquire a solid education.
Recently, job hunting has been tough for and if it hadn’t been for a lucky break where I helped my godmother with sothing, allowing to manage this store, I’d only be labored by dreary, exhausting work.”
Tong Wen empathized, “Yeah, without a university degree, I can’t get into good organizations, and the bad ones have no future.
I’m not content with that.”
Xia Ping said, “My brother has been urging to repeat a year, but my grades were so bad, I just don’t have the confidence.
Ah, but we’re getting sidetracked.
Chuyue, let’s talk about the store.”
ng Chuyue smiled slightly, “Actually, hiring one person would be enough, but both of you are great and I don’t know whom to let go.
I’ve thought of a win-win solution—listen first.”
“I’d like to hire both of you.
We’ll split a salary of six hundred and twenty yuan per month between the two of you.
As for the working hours, if you’re willing, you can both co in every day or alternate days.
You can change shifts every half day, every day, or even every two days, seven days, or half a month—it’s up to you to arrange.”
Tong Wen thought it through carefully and then said, “So, if we rotate shifts to watch the store, we only need to work half a month each and we’d each earn around three hundred yuan?”
That seed too easy—she agreed.
ng Chuyue smiled slightly, “There’s more.
On holidays or special days when we run promotions, I will pay extra based on the workload for the day.
If it’s as busy as the other day, the pay will still be twenty yuan.”
Xia Ping’s eyelids twitched, and she asked with a grin, “When do you think we’ll have another promotion?”
