Chapter 150 Potential Employee Interviews (Revised Edition)

After locking the shop door, the family walked into the residential area.

Ms. Lin said to her husband beside her, "Sometimes I worry that I haven't been able to help you much."

Chen Zhou clicked his tongue at these words:
"See, you just want me to praise you."

Ms. Lin smiled after hearing this.

"Then go ahead and praise me."

Chen Zhou turned his head to look at her, thinking that aside from helping to stabilize the rear and manage the family's affairs, he should at least start by praising her appearance.

Ms. Lin is not like a celebrity, someone who looks beautiful but doesn't have a striking or stunning presence.

But her facial features are soft, giving people a natural, gentle comfort.

Chen Zhou said earnestly:

"You're the kind of person whose looks grow on you, but it's mainly because I'm good-looking."

Lin Yifan had been with Chen Zhou for a long time and knew her husband all too well. She complained:
"You're good at telling corny jokes, and you're also good at using puns."

Chen Zhou argued, "I can't tell lame jokes anymore, it's getting cold."

Lin Yifan rolled her eyes and unconsciously touched the hair on her arm.

Chen Taotao walked ahead of her parents, not wanting to miss the chance to join in the fun.

But she doesn't have that many tricks up her sleeve.

The little girl said directly, "I also want to praise you, Mom. I think you are the best mom."

Peach is still the most endearing.

Chen Zhou handed the takeout box to his wife and tucked the little girl into his arms.

"Where's Dad?"

Chen Zhou scratched Tao Tao's collar, making her giggle.

After returning home, Chen Zhou was still thinking about the potential employee mentioned in the intelligence report.

He happened to have an acquaintance doing business at the Harmony Vegetable Market.

It was that spice-selling sister, Huang Yaoshi, Huang Zhi.

Before going, Chen Zhou planned to ask her briefly about that young Hou.

At the very least, find out their opening hours and exact location to avoid making a wasted trip in the afternoon.

Of course, Chen Zhou started the conversation by asking the other party to recommend employees.

Huang Zhi really knew Hou Wen:

"There's a steamed bun shop in our market, and there's a really good young man there. His skills are impeccable. If you need someone to help out at your shop, he's the perfect person to hire."

I can ask them for you; they're about to sell their shop.

That's good.

The eldest sister is a kind-hearted person, and Chen Zhou's choice to seek her out is just right.

However, Chen Zhou was somewhat curious as to why Huang Yaoshi was so familiar with the other party.

The two chatted for a while longer.

Huang Yaoshi recounted the time she prescribed a weight loss formula for someone.

"The young man isn't fat anymore."

Chen Zhou: "Sister, are you selling spices or medicine?"

Huang Yaoshi: "Medicine and food share the same origin, right? The cardamom and nutmeg I asked you to bring back last time, did your wife say they were effective?"

The eldest sister really doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables.

They probably care a lot about customer feedback.

Chen Zhou skipped this part and asked her to inform Hou Wen first.

As for whether cardamom or nutmeg would work, he put down his phone and glanced at Ms. Lin.

Upon noticing his wife lying on her side, Chen Zhou chuckled and said, "Were you secretly watching me the whole time?"

Ms. Lin denied it, saying, "I was looking at your daughter."

Indeed, Chen Taotao took a sip of tea and didn't take a nap at noon.

So Chen Facai shouldn't even think about sleeping.

A person and a cat are playing house there.

In the afternoon, everyone in the family was busy with their own things.

Ms. Lin edited the video at home.

In addition to the process of making chestnut paste filling, the book also includes an introduction to chestnuts and tips for peeling them.

I treated it like a serious matter. Taking advantage of the free smart streaming provided by the event, I uploaded the new video online.

Chen Taotao didn't eat properly at noon, so she's making up for it at the dining table.

Chen Zhou then contacted Sister Huang about the young man.

Hou Wen is 20 years old this year. He is young and a little indecisive. Huang Zhi hopes that Chen Zhou can go and talk to him when he has time.

They sent me their contact information and the location of the steamed bun shop.

"Thanks, sis, I'll go take a look today."

"It's okay."

Chen Zhou drove to the Harmony Vegetable Market again.

During the time before dinner, the steamed bun shop is relatively quiet, and people are more relaxed.

He came to find Hou Wen, and the timing was quite good.

At that moment, Hou was the only person in the steamed bun shop.

His arms, partially exposed by his short-sleeved vest, were muscular and very strong. The dough was being kneaded and slapped in his hands, making muffled popping sounds.

Chen Zhou thought to himself, "This young man must have done a lot of physical training. He's a real muscle-bound strongman now."

Although I'm no longer fat, I can still eat a lot.

The intelligence report even included a special reminder.

Hou Wen had little business at the time, and soon spotted the people not far away:
"Buying steamed buns, bro?"

Chen Zhou got straight to the point: "My surname is Chen, and I run a steamed bun shop. We're short-staffed right now, and Sister Huang, who sells spices, recommended me. She said your skills are excellent."

"Hey, Brother Chen, Sister Huang mentioned you to me."

Hou Wen was genuinely concerned about the manpower shortage the other party mentioned.

His parents planned to sell the shop and return to their hometown, but he himself did not actually intend to go back with them.

Chen Zhou said to him, "The key is your idea."

Chen Zhou told him about the store's salary and benefits.

They emphasized the food standards, saying that the portions were large and there was plenty to eat.

Hou Wen had already considered it, and when the boss came over, he immediately expressed his desire to try his luck at the other party's store.

The two parties reached this preliminary agreement.

Let's discuss this in detail at the community canteen tomorrow or the day after.

After all, there is a formal process to follow when an employee is hired.

"Keep in touch anytime, and tell your parents when you go back," Chen Zhou instructed.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

The next day, the National Day holiday came to an end.

The three of them were able to gather at the community canteen.

Aunt Zheng brought back many local specialties to the shop when she returned to her hometown. After not seeing each other for a few days, the three of them took the opportunity to chat about their holiday experiences.

Then, Chen Zhou mentioned that he had found a new colleague yesterday.

He briefly explained the young man's situation.

Aunt Zheng was particularly concerned about the intensity of the other person's work, asking, "Is he even capable of doing the work?"

Hou Wensheng is young and strong, while the older woman is trying to find her old rolling pin again.

Their strengths are probably evenly matched.

Chen Zhou smiled and said:

"You can have a friendly exchange then. But be careful about your approach and methods, so as not to scare people away."

"middle."

The elderly woman hadn't made steamed buns for a few days, and her hands were itching to do so. As she was talking, she started working again.

My junior sister is also a warm and generous senior.

"Senior brother, I won't be the youngest anymore, right?"

“Yes,” Chen Zhou said with a smile, “you are still the number one employee, the most senior one.”

Besides, the junior sister and Aunt Zheng were also quite eager to meet the young man.

Chen Zhou asked, "We originally agreed that he would come the day after tomorrow, but if you'd like, we can go together today."

The two of them had nothing else to do, so they actually agreed.

　In the last few chapters, I'll be pushing the main storyline of management. Do you guys have any good ideas? Do you prefer reading slice-of-life content?
