Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Hiring People
Upon returning to the Yue Family, everyone was excited to hear about what had happened.
Zhang Ying hugged her daughter and kissed her repeatedly, and, like all parents around the world, thought her child was incredibly intelligent.
Yue Xiaofang also expressed her agreement.
Lin Chunju thought about the teacher’s words, “It would be great if we could move to the city early. We shouldn’t delay the child’s talent.”
Yue Xingxing quietly asked Qingqing what teachers in the city taught and what the school campus looked like.
It was obvious that this was a child who loved to learn.
Yue Xiaohu was more interested in the various small snacks Yue Jiandong had brought back, stealthily reaching his little paws towards the table.
When Wang Xiaoni caught him, she swatted him away, “No, we’re about to have dinner. You can have snacks after dinner.”
Yue Xiaohu pouted and could only sneak glances at his old man.
Yue Jianxi pretended not to see.
After all, he never contradicted his wife when it came to educating their children.
The incident made Yue Jiandong realize he had truly been too busy.
When he took his daughter to the city, he could only leave her with his brother at school.
The occasions when he wasn’t at home were becoming more frequent, sometimes he was so busy that he couldn’t make it home before dinner.
Zhang Ying had to sneak into the kitchen late at night to prepare something for him, trying not to disturb anyone else in the house.
Yue Jiandong realized this was not right.
Time was limited, and money couldn’t be earned endlessly.
Hiring help soon became an urgent need.
He discussed it with his mother, and Lin Chunju had no objections.
“I’ve been wanting you to hire more people for a while now. The kids are still young; you need to spend more time with them.”
Yue Jiandong readily agreed, and Lin Chunju gave him more advice.
“Take Qingqing with you when you pick someone.”
Yue Jiandong was a bit puzzled, but Lin Chunju could only fob him off.
“Every affair is a lesson, deep understanding of human emotions is like an essay, the child has talent, just bring her along to learn and observe more, it’s good to nurture her from a young age.”
Had someone else been there, they might have been fooled by Lin Chunju.
But Yue Jiandong was smart, and he felt that things were probably not that simple.
However, he just thought his mother was slowly getting older and might have become somewhat superstitious, like many of the elderly in the village.
Thinking that having their child around would make things go more smoothly.
Plus, Yue Jiandong also hoped to spend more time with Qingqing, so he naturally agreed.
The next day, Yue Jiandong asked for leave for his daughter from the village school.
The discipline at the village school was lax, and the teachers all agreed.
Yue Qingqing was then brought along by her father, bustling around with him everywhere.
Yue Jiandong bought his daughter several easy-to-understand children’s books with illustrations, marked with pinyin and various knowledge points.
Yue Qingqing read them with great interest and didn’t feel bored at all.
Hiring was definitely going to involve selecting from people they often cooperated with, where mutual familiarity minimized mistakes.freēwēbnovel.com
Yue Jiandong surveyed five individuals, all quick-handed and relatively smart.
He purposely took two days to talk with these people, planning to finally settle on two from among them.
After speaking with them, he felt that three individuals were quite good.
Since the business was still in its early stages and would expand later, it wouldn’t hurt to hire them all.
But suddenly, Yue Qingqing spoke up, “Dad, I don’t like that Uncle Yang.”
Yue Jiandong asked, “Why?”
“He smells so strongly of smoke, it stinks!”
Yue Qingqing waved her hand in front of her nose, looking quite repulsed.
Yue Jiandong couldn’t help but laugh, children really do speak their minds.
“You’re not used to it because no one at home smokes.”
As he spoke, he suddenly had a thought.
There were no cigarette rolls on Yang Ping’s desk, and he hadn’t offered him a cigarette when he entered the room.
There wasn’t much smell of smoke in the house either, so why was the smell on him so strong?
