Blossoms of Rebirth

Because it was afternoon and there was still some time before dinner, people came in and out of the restaurant from time to time, and the surroundings were noisy.

But the table in front of Sheng Tang seemed to have fallen into a quiet vacuum again, with no one speaking.

Sheng Tang smiled: "If no one says anything, then I will assume that everyone is staying and continue selling books to me in the evening. No one will be missing."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, some people couldn't sit still.

A freshman girl said shyly: "Shengtang, I went back last night to discuss it with my parents. They said that I should focus on my studies in my freshman year, so... I don't want to work part-time anymore."

Freshmen have the most time. If they want to study, they have enough time during the day. How many hours of selling books at night will delay their studies?

Shengtang could tell that this was a tactful excuse, and smiled: "Well, it's okay. When you have time in the future, you are still welcome here!"

Since they were trying to trick each other, he would also say a few polite words, but if you leave from here today, you will never accept them again in the future.

With this girl's "inspiring ideas", more and more people are ready to quit later, with various reasons, but these people are all freshmen without exception.

In fact, it is understandable that freshmen have just started school and are still full of longing for a rich and colorful university life. Even if they want to work part-time to make money, they will probably have to wait for a while to adapt. And now, 90% of freshmen are determined to work part-time.

Ninth, the family conditions are not good.

On the freshman side, the fat boy Zhao Jiang expressed his intention to stay. Shengtang was not surprised by this, because during the previous chat, he learned that his family background was average.

What made him curious was a boy named Zhang Gaofei. Judging from the clothes he wore, he had the most difficult family situation among the group. According to Shengtang's idea, he would definitely stay.

But he stood up and smiled at Shengtang: "Shengtang, my original intention of working part-time is to train my abilities and quickly adapt to society. But when I sell books in school, I come into contact with all college students like us. This is what I think.

It was contradictory, so I went to the commercial street to find a part-time job this morning. In addition to being able to interact with students, I could also interact with many adults, so..."

"..."

After Zhang Gaofei finished speaking, everyone was stunned. It was not because he refused to work part-time here, after all, many freshmen had quit, but because he found another part-time job in such a short period of time. No one believed him even if he said it was not for making money.

Shengtang was also stunned for a moment, "Your idea is quite good, after all, everyone's pursuit is different - what kind of part-time job are you looking for?"

"There is a cold drink shop in the commercial street that is currently short of people, so I happened to apply for the job."

As he spoke, the corners of Zhang Gaofei's mouth couldn't help but curl up. Perhaps subconsciously, he thought that the part-time job he found in the commercial street was more prestigious than working under Sheng Tang.

And what he values ​​more is salary.

Zhang Gaofei is a very shrewd person. Yesterday he calculated that nearly twenty people sold a total of 600 books. If divided equally, each person would only share about 30 books.

These books in Sheng Tang were purchased from bookstores, and the price would certainly not be lower. Moreover, he felt that Sheng Tang would definitely take the bulk of the money. By then, they might not even be able to raise a dollar from one book, and at most thirty copies would be no more than a dollar.

Thirty dollars?

Yesterday, Shengtang only gave Wang Shaobo 20 yuan and sent him away, which further confirmed Zhang Gaofei's idea. Now that so many people have withdrawn, it is basically impossible to share the 30 yuan salary from here, so he assessed

After that, I didn't have much expectations about working part-time under Sheng Tang, so I went out early in the morning to find another part-time job.

"Cold drink shop? Not bad, not bad..."

After hearing this, Shengtang was even more stunned. It was already autumn in Jinnan. It was indeed very hot at noon, but it would get cooler in the morning and evening. Moreover, this heat wave would last until October at most and would end. How much business would the cold drink shop still have by then?

Then he asked casually: "How much money can I make per day if I work part-time there?"

"Our boss said he would give me thirty-five yuan a day! If the sales are good, he might give me another five yuan as a reward!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Gaofei looked proud, because Zhang Zhaomin, who has been working part-time for more than two years, can only work forty for a day at most?

He has finally won at the starting line.

"Well, that's quite a lot."

After hearing this, Sheng Tang nodded, thinking that this guy was really a business genius, so it would be better not to keep him.

After asking around like this, Zhang Zhaomin and Chen Mange both chose to stay. Five sophomore officers, including Lin Liangshun, were also prepared to stay. On the freshmen side, except for the fat boy Zhao Jiang and another boy from the School of Pharmacy, they were willing to stay.

, only Jing Jing remained silent.

He didn't express his intention to leave, but he was prepared to stay.

But Shengtang was surprised. Jing Jing stayed yesterday, most likely because she wanted to experience life. Now that she has experienced it, and Tang Wenjuan stopped her, it is normal for her to quit.

So Sheng Tang looked at her curiously. Jing Jing was stared at by him and glared at him in return: "Why are you looking at me?"

Sheng Tang wanted to reply, "How do I know I'm looking at you if you don't look at me?" but he thought this was too childish, so he said, "Are you planning to stay?"

"Why, I can't stay?"

"..."

If it weren't for her sister-in-law status, Sheng Tang would have wanted to kick her out - forget it, with her looks, it would be quite eye-catching to keep her as a vase.

The final part-time team has been preliminarily determined. There is only one junior, Zhang Zhaomin. There are six sophomores, led by Chen Mange and Lin Liangshun. There are also four freshmen, including Sheng Tang and Jing Jing, for a total of eleven people.

Then came the exciting part of paying wages. Except for those who decided to leave relatively calmly, everyone else was quite nervous. After all, this was closely related to their future part-time careers.

Zhang Gaofei is also looking forward to it, because he feels that the salary paid by Shengtang will definitely not be as high as the part-time job he found himself.

Sheng Tang took out the money from his bag, counted out a thousand yuan, and then said: "Everyone worked hard yesterday. After I went back last night, I did some calculations and the initial salary was fifty yuan a day. What do you think?

Sample?"

"Fifty?!!"

The first person to shout out was Zhang Gaofei, because the gap with his prediction was so big that...he even began to regret it.

“Isn’t fifty a bit too much?”

The other person who was most shocked was Zhang Zhaomin. After his contact with Shengtang yesterday, he felt that Shengtang would not give too little, but he did not expect it to be so much!

The most he earned on a part-time job was just over 40 yuan, but he worked for one day in a row. Last night, he only worked for three hours. How could he earn 50 yuan?

"Is it much? Not much?"

Sheng Tang glanced at Zhang Gaofei, whose eyes were flying, and said with a smile: "If the sales are good in the future, it will be no problem to add a little more to everyone!"

"..."
