Farming Space Makes Me Rich (3)

Chapter 562: Progress

Zeng Yaozu accompanied Xiao Lingyu to find a hotel before he returned to his bachelor pad. The apartment was rented.

As for the other employees, Xiao Lingyu had Zeng Yaozu find a high-quality apartment to use as a dorm.

Xiao Lingyu's welfare for the employees was quite good.

The employees were paid over 2,200 RMB a month for food and accommodation. Even the cleaning lady was paid 2,000 RMB a month. One had to know that the treatment for cleaning ladies in other places was only 1,340 RMB.

Therefore, at that time, apart from some aunties and grandpas, there were also some young people who applied for the job of cleaning lady.

Zeng Yaozu, the head of Human Resources, chose four honest aunties for the job.

If the employees didn't require food and accommodation, they would receive an additional monthly allowance of 200 RMB. After all, many of the employees lived nearby. When the applicants noted that the job was at a vegetable supermarket, they became suspicious. They didn't think the business would be good. What if the company went bankrupt? Would they still be paid then? Plus, the employee welfare was too good to be true! It was a trap!

Of course, there were only some who stayed. Now, they were thankful that they had stayed.

For example, these employees who returned to the dorm started to gossip among themselves...

"Damn! I have no idea business at a vegetable supermarket can be so good!" A male employee said in disbelief, "Before this, I was worried that the vegetables wouldn't sell because of their high prices. I didn't expect the expensive stock on the second floor would be sold out in just one morning!"

"I also found it hard to believe," another female employee said. "I was wondering if the boss had a problem building such a big supermarket to sell vegetables.

"There is a large vegetable market less than 200 meters away from the supermarket. Why wouldn't people go to the market to buy cheap vegetables and come to this expensive supermarket instead?

"People are not fools. But we're proven wrong. No wonder we're employees, and the boss is the boss."

"Many things are sold out. Even though there's a promotion, they are still quite expensive. The boss must have made a lot of money!"

"That is a definite. Even the cheapest vegetables on the first floor, like the cabbage, still costs one RMB per catty. How many vegetables were there on the first floor? I estimate there were at least 10,000 catties, so the income would be 10,000 RMB or more. Now there are also the vegetables on the second floor. They are so expensive, but they sell so fast."

"My God, if this is correct. Then, the boss will earn 20,000 to 30,000 per day. That is higher than our yearly income."

"And that is during promotions. The income will double when the prices return to normal."

"If the boss earns more than 30,000 a day, it'll be more than a million a month! In a year, it'll be more than 10 million!" The people were excited.

"Stop dreaming. The vegetables are all sold because of the discount. Three days later, the business will die off."

"Tsk, you sure a downer!" Someone immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, "Don't you see how the expensive vegetables on the second floor have been sold out? In fact, they were the first to go!"

The person responded, "But they were merely bought by owners of hotels and restaurants."

"Yes, but they were still sold out, right?"

...

Zhang Li and Zhou Xiaolu were washing up in the room. When they heard the quarrel outside, they were a little confused.

"Why is it so noisy outside? Aren't they tired?" Zhang Li said with confusion, "I'm dead tired after working all day today."

Zhou Xiaolu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go out and take a look!"

"I'll go too!"

When Zhou Xiaolu walked outside and heard them arguing, she was a little speechless. They were arguing about the supermarket's business. Basically, one party had confidence in the supermarket's future, and the other party didn't.

Zhou Xiaolu said, "Xiaolan, Xiaoming, aren't you guys tired? Is there a need to quarrel over this? Whether business is good or not, we'll know in a few days."

Zhang Li chimed in beside Zhou Xiaolu, "That's right. The whole apartment can hear your arguments. It's getting late. Others need to rest."

Xiaolan and Xiaoming blushed.

Li Xiaomei washed her hair and came out. When she saw the two blushing employees and Zhou Xiaolu standing there, she rolled her eyes and smiled. "Xiaolu, we're not at work now, but you are still going around lecturing people as the team leader. Look at Xiaolan and Xiaoming. They are embarrassed."

Her words sounded like a joke, but she meant to sow discord.

But...

When she turned around, Li Xiaomei realized everyone was looking at her strangely.

Li Xiaomei, "..." what is going on?
