"What?" Wu Xiujuan couldn't think straight. "Your boss hasn't decided if he wants to treat Xiaolan and me, and he's already buying us clothes?"
Wu Qiang smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? My boss is very nice! But … Sister-in-law, Xiaolan, because the plane is late, the original plan may have to be changed. I can only take you to Chang 'an Street and let you see the Tianan Gate and the monument. Then we'll find a place to buy some clothes and have dinner. After that, we have to hurry back. We can't let the boss wait for us too late! If you stay to work in the future, I'll have plenty of opportunities to take you out for sightseeing! "
Wu Xiujuan quickly said, "Qiangzi, since it's so late, let's go back directly! It's not good to keep the boss waiting … "
"Yeah! Qiangzi! "Xia Xiaolan also said," Let's get down to business first. "
Wu Qiang smiled and said, "Just follow my arrangements! I know Boss Xia's temper. If he doesn't do what he asks, he'll be very angry! Don't worry, the boss' house is not far from the Tianan Gate square. If we hurry up, we'll definitely be back before 8: 30. The boss won't be asleep then! "
As Wu Qiang spoke, he skillfully drove the Land Rover and turned on the radio casually.
Soon, the car entered the busy downtown area of Beijing.
It was the first time Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan had come to Beijing. It was also the first time they saw so many cars, as well as the rows of high-rise buildings and colorful lights on both sides of the road. Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The car drove to Chang 'an Street and passed by the Tianan Gate square that every Huaxia citizen was very familiar with. Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan didn't even blink as they looked at the Tianan Gate and the monument on the opposite side. They were very excited.
Wu Qiang had been in Beijing for many years, so he was very familiar with the place. So he was responsible for explaining as he drove. When the car drove away from the square, the two of them were still a little unsatisfied.
Xia Xiaolan sat in the back seat and looked at Wu Qiang, who was speaking with fervor and assurance. His side profile was clearly defined under the flickering light of the street lamp. Her heart seemed to gradually give birth to an indescribable feeling …
Back in her hometown, Xia Xiaolan also knew about Wu Qiang, but she only knew some superficial information. For example, Wu Qiang's family situation was quite difficult. Then, Wu Qiang went out to be a soldier for a few years. Later, he worked in Beijing. Recently, he seemed to have earned some money and often sent money home …
After interacting with Wu Qiang today, Xia Xiaolan realized that Wu Qiang was different from what she had imagined. After the military experience, his calm temperament gave him a lot of points. In addition, Xia Xiaolan could also see that Wu Qiang's job was very good. From some details, she knew that Wu Qiang's boss valued him very much.
Unknowingly, Wu Qiang was no longer that poor village boy. Even in their hometown, someone like Wu Qiang could be considered a successful person.
Such a man was naturally more attractive to girls.
What's more, Wu Qiang had left a very good impression on Xia Xiaolan after a period of contact.
After leaving Tiananmen Square, Wu Qiang drove to a place near Wangfujing. After parking the car, he took the two girls to the mall to buy clothes.
Each of them bought a set of clothes that cost more than a thousand yuan, including a jacket, pants, and shoes. It could be said that it was very ordinary. It was impossible to buy a set of clothes from a slightly famous brand in the country with so little money.
However, such a price still made Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan dumbfounded. They hurriedly rejected it. They felt that it was too expensive and they didn't dare to accept it.
Wu Qiang persuaded them in every way possible. In the end, he used Xia Ruofei as an excuse. He said that this was the work clothes that the boss gave them. If they didn't accept it, the boss would be angry. Only then did the two girls anxiously accept it.
However, it was a woman's nature to love beauty. The two girls tightly held onto the paper bag containing the clothes. The joy in their eyes couldn't be hidden.
After coming out of the mall, Wu Qiang took the two girls to eat Quanjude.
Beijing's roast duck was very unique, and the most famous one was naturally Quanjude. Although Bianyi Square's roast duck had a long history and was very popular in Beijing, its reputation was much worse than Quanjude's.
It was the first time Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan ate Beijing roast duck, and it was the famous Quanjude. The two were very happy and ate with relish.
However, when they saw the bill of more than five hundred yuan, the two girls were shocked again.
It was just a small amount of roast duck. They were only seventy to eighty percent full, but it cost more than five hundred yuan! With so much money, they could eat a few meals in Laojia Town, and they would definitely be full!
However, from the moment they got off the plane until now, the two girls had been enlightened.
Next, they were going to return to the courtyard house in Liuhai Lane. The two girls began to feel nervous again.
On the way back, Wu Qiang kept talking to them to relax. However, this kind of nervousness came from the bottom of their hearts. Before they met Xia Ruofei, it would definitely be difficult to relax. Wu Qiang could only try his best to make them relax.
Soon, the car arrived at the courtyard house. Wu Qiang directly drove in from the back door and parked the car.
After the three of them got out of the car, Wu Qiang helped them carry their luggage and then said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaolan, put your things in my room first! If the boss agrees to let you stay and work, you will also have your own room in this courtyard! "
Wu Xiujuan nodded and said, "Okay! Qiangzi, since you are here, we will listen to you! "
Xia Xiaolan looked at the quaint courtyard house with great interest and exclaimed, "Brother Qiangzi, this courtyard is so big! I feel that it is even bigger than the big houses in our hometown! "
Wu Qiang said with a smile, "Of course, otherwise, why would the boss hire so many staff members? Xiaolan, this courtyard has a total of three entrances. We are now in the third courtyard. This is also the smallest courtyard. You will know when you go to the front. It is called big! "
Xia Xiaolan opened her eyes wide and asked, "Brother Qiangzi, have you been working here all this time?"
"Yes! The old leader of the army introduced me to this job! "Wu Qiang said," I am also lucky to have met such a good boss like Boss Xia! "
While talking, the three of them had already arrived at Wu Qiang's room. Wu Qiang put down the things and said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaolan, change into the clothes you just bought in this room, and then we will go and see Boss Xia! I will wait for you outside the door! "
"Okay!" Wu Xiujuan responded.
Wu Qiang stood in the courtyard and smoked a cigarette. He saw Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan, who had changed into new clothes, coming out. The two women did not have the habit of wearing makeup. If they were city girls, they would not be able to change clothes in half an hour.
Wu Qiang took the two of them through the corridor and came to the second courtyard where Xia Ruofei lived.
Xia Ruofei was sitting on the sofa in the suite's living room, watching TV.
In fact, Xia Ruofei also guessed that Wu Qiang would be back soon, so he sat here to kill time. He did not expect to wait for more than two hours.
Wu Qiang gently knocked on the door. Xia Ruofei looked up and saw Wu Qiang standing outside the door through the glass window. Beside him were two women who looked a little uneasy.
Xia Ruofei waved at Wu Qiang. Wu Qiang quickly pushed the door open and came in. Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan also walked into the room.
Wu Qiang explained, "Boss Xia, my sister-in-law's flight was late. They only picked them up after six o 'clock, so they were delayed until now. I'm sorry!"
Xia Ruofei looked at the two people who had obviously changed into new clothes. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you are very determined to carry out the order. It doesn't matter if they are late. Come and sit!"
Wu Qiang quickly asked Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan to sit down.
Xia Ruofei's courtyard house was quaint on the outside, but the inside was very modern. The two of them sat on the soft sofa and looked at the obviously high-end decoration in the room. They were so nervous that they didn't know where to put their hands.
Xia Ruofei looked at the two of them with a pleasant expression. He first looked at Wu Xiujuan and asked with a smile, "You must be Wu Qiang's sister-in-law!"
Wu Xiujuan nodded quickly. She was so nervous that she didn't know how to answer Xia Ruofei.
Wu Qiang said, "Boss Xia, my sister-in-law's name is Wu Xiujuan."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Then I'll call you Aunt Wu! Aunt Wu, I heard from Wu Qiang that usually in the village, which family is willing to invite you to cook for a wedding or funeral? "
Wu Xiujuan nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Boss Xia, although I haven't learned how to cook, I'm still very good at cooking! The villagers are also very supportive. "
Xia Ruofei nodded, then looked at Xia Xiaolan and said with a smile, "Wu Qiang, why don't you introduce your girlfriend?"
Xia Ruofei's words made Wu Qiang and Xia Xiaolan blush.
The relationship between the two of them hadn't been confirmed yet, and they were both thin-skinned people. After hearing Xia Ruofei's words, they quickly looked at each other and immediately looked away.
Wu Qiang said, "Boss Xia, her name is Xia Xiaolan. She … she's not my girlfriend yet!"
Xia Ruofei teased, "Oh! We're still from the same family! Maybe we were from the same family 500 years ago! "
Xia Ruofei's amiable attitude made Xia Xiaolan less nervous. She said, "Hello, Boss Xia!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Wu Qiang is quite outstanding. Xiaolan, you have to seize the opportunity! If it's taken away by others, you won't even have a place to cry! "
Xia Xiaolan's cheeks were red with embarrassment, but Wu Qiang hurriedly said, "Boss Xia, I'm not the kind of person who's two-timing!"
Xia Xiaolan was even more embarrassed when she heard this. She glared at Wu Qiang coquettishly and lowered her head to look at her toes. She didn't dare to look at Xia Ruofei again.
After exchanging a few words with the two of them, Xia Ruofei said seriously, "Auntie Wu, Xiaolan, I believe Wu Qiang has already told you that I need two staff members. One is mainly responsible for buying vegetables and cooking, and the other is responsible for the sanitation of the yard, taking care of the flowers, birds, insects, fish, and so on."
Xia Ruofei looked at the two people who were looking at her nervously and continued, "I believe in Wu Qiang's vision. Since he recommended you two, I think you two are definitely qualified for the job. Let me talk about the remuneration! The monthly salary is 6,000 yuan, including food and accommodation, insurance and housing, and at least double the salary at the end of the year. If you think it's suitable, you can officially start work tomorrow! "
Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan didn't know what insurance and housing and double the salary at the end of the year were, but when they heard that the monthly salary was 6,000 yuan and food and accommodation were included, they were more than willing.
At first, they were worried that the boss wouldn't like them, but they didn't expect Xia Ruofei to be so easy to talk to. The so-called interview was actually just a small talk. He didn't even mention the probationary period and directly hired them.
Therefore, the two of them almost didn't hesitate and said in unison, "Boss Xia, we're willing!"
Wu Qiang also quickly expressed his gratitude to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "In that case, it's settled. You'll sign the employment contract with the Taoyuan Company under my name. The salary will also go through the company's account, so it's convenient for you to apply for medical insurance and social security. Wu Qiang, I'll talk to the human resources department and ask them to send the contract by express mail after they're done. When the time comes, ask Auntie Wu and Xiaolan to sign it and send it back! "
"Okay, Boss Xia!" Wu Qiang quickly responded.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Wu Qiang will arrange the accommodation. Among the three of you, Wu Qiang is in charge. When I'm not in Beijing, you just have to listen to Wu Qiang's arrangements."
The three of them nodded.
Wu Qiang asked, "Boss Xia, I want Auntie Wu and Xiaolan to live in the backyard, so it's convenient for them to work."
In addition to the backyard, there were also many empty rooms in the front yard. However, Xia Ruofei lived in the middle of the yard, so it was more convenient to live in the backyard.
Xia Ruofei said, "You can decide on these things yourself. The bedding and bedding are all ready-made. Wu Qiang, see if there are any daily necessities and remember to buy them tomorrow. Keep the receipts for these expenses and buying groceries. I'll reimburse you regularly! "
"Okay, Boss Xia!" Wu Qiang said, "Then we'll go first!"
"Go! Auntie Wu and the others have been on the road for the whole day, and they even caught up with the Liu family. They must be very tired. You all should rest early! "Xia Ruofei said.
Wu Qiang and the other two left Xia Ruofei's room.
Although Xia Ruofei's attitude had been very gentle, Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan felt an inexplicable pressure. The two of them secretly sighed in relief when they left Xia Ruofei's yard.
"Qiangzi, it's done?" Wu Xiujuan asked in disbelief.
Wu Qiang smiled and said, "Of course! I told you that Boss Xia is very kind and doesn't put on airs at all! Auntie Wu, Xiaolan, you'll know in the future that Boss Xia is really good to the employees around him! "
"Brother Qiangzi, we'll definitely work hard!" Xia Xiaolan said excitedly, "We won't let down the high salary that Boss Xia gives us!"
Wu Qiang smiled and nodded and said, "Okay! I'll arrange a place for you to stay first! Auntie Wu, Xiaolan, there are six rooms in this yard. I'll stay in the easternmost room, and you can each choose one of the other five rooms! "
Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan saw the rooms prepared for the employees in the backyard. They were also beautifully decorated, with separate washrooms and soft beds. They felt like they were dreaming.
Yesterday, they were still in the mountain village in their hometown, and today, they were already in the bustling capital. Moreover, they were living in such a big yard. Even when they came to work, they could live in such a good room. It was like living in heaven!
The two of them discussed for a while. Xia Xiaolan asked for the room in the easternmost room, and Wu Xiujuan stayed next to Xia Xiaolan.
This way, they and Wu Qiang would live on the east and west sides, which also reflected the difference between men and women. Moreover, Wu Xiujuan would be in between Xia Xiaolan and Wu Qiang, which was also proposed by the shy Xia Xiaolan.
After choosing the rooms, Wu Qiang moved their luggage in separately. Then, he taught them how to use the water heater and other facilities in the room. After that, he told them to rest early and returned to his room.
That night, Wu Qiang, who saw his blind date, and Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan, who were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, tossed and turned restlessly and couldn't fall asleep for half the night.
Similarly, Xia Ruofei, who lived in the middle yard, also had insomnia.
