As the hotel renovation progressed, Wang Jiefang began recruiting staff for the establishment. The announcement of a minimum monthly wage of ten yuan quickly drew a crowd to the application desk.
However, many left in disappointment upon reading the job requirements. "Isn't this just a job for serving plates? Why do they require good looks and a nice figure?" they lamented. "It's not like we're picking a wife; why are there such demands?"
The requirements seemed excessive: not only did they want attractive candidates, but they also insisted on at least a junior high school education, with high school graduates preferred. "This isn't college entrance exams; it's just serving plates! My mother can't even read, and she serves plates at home all the time!"
"Exactly! It's just serving plates; who can't do that? The conditions for this job are ridiculous. It can't be a legitimate establishment. I'm out of here!"
Those who didn't meet the criteria began to grumble, hoping their complaints would discourage those who did meet the requirements from applying, making themselves feel better in the process. That's how it goes—if I can't have it, neither should anyone else!
Interestingly enough, a few candidates who fit the requirements quietly slipped away after hearing the complaints.
Xiao Dang and Huaihua returned to their courtyard happily, unable to suppress their smiles. Yan Bugui noticed the sisters and was about to ask them what good news they had when they breezed past him like a gust of wind.
Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and muttered in annoyance, "These sisters really lack manners. Can't they see I'm right here? Not even a greeting! I taught them better than that!"
But the sisters were too excited to pay him any mind. They rushed into the house where Qin Huairu was and exclaimed, "Mom, Grandma, we found jobs!"
"Really? That's wonderful! What kind of jobs did you find? What's the salary?"
Qin Huairu was thrilled for her daughters. Since Si Geng's death, she and Jia Zhang had come to terms with their situation, realizing they might have to rely on these two girls in the future. Thus, they were more invested in Xiao Dang and Huaihua's endeavors.
Jia Zhang also looked at the sisters eagerly, waiting for their response.
Huaihua excitedly pulled Qin Huairu closer. "Mom, my sister and I got jobs as waitresses! Guess how much we can earn in a month?"
Qin Huairu didn't think there was anything wrong with that kind of work; she knew how hard it was to find jobs these days.
"Thirty yuan?" she ventured cautiously, thinking that for two girls just starting out as waitresses, thirty yuan would be quite good.
"Nope! Try again, Mom!" Huaihua urged with a grin.
Seeing Huaihua's expression, Qin Huairu realized she had underestimated their earnings. Taking a deep breath, she guessed a number she thought was impossible: "Forty yuan?"
"Oh, Mom! Forget it; I'll just tell you! It's a full ten yuan!" Xiao Dang chimed in after her mother failed to guess correctly twice.
