When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Chapter 147: The Green Tea Female Side Character in a Period Novel (34)

Some people didn’t even go home, rushing straight to the post office to borrow a pen and paper to write to their children in the countryside...

The notice was very detailed. Everyone’s hearts burned with excitement, feeling the surprise was so sudden. Although many people would be competing for the four spots, it was still a glimmer of hope.

Many couldn’t contain their excitement and ran to the retail department to get more news.

You can’t just ask for news without buying something, can you? Even for a box of matches, a handful of hard candies, or a bottle of soda, they could strike up a conversation with the sales clerk.

The retail department was bustling once again. The people of Xiahua were a peculiar sort; they flocked wherever there was a crowd. Before long, a long line had formed again.

Xu Chengfang had just finished posting the notice. As she leisurely walked back, she saw Chi Yun’er so busy she wished she could grow three heads and six arms. Feeling a little guilty, she quickly ducked inside and deftly started helping.

They ended up working nonstop until eight in the evening before they finally had a chance to eat.

There was no promotion, and everyone was buying things just for the chance to ask questions. So, while the sales volume was high, the total revenue wasn’t that much. Still, the overall profit was still around a hundred and eighty yuan!

Hearing this figure, Xu Chengfang’s worries from the morning finally settled.

"Director Chi, this isn’t another one of your... your promotional tactics, is it?"

Everyone thought so. What could have been a quiet, internal hiring process had been transformed into such a grand spectacle, attracting a wave of customers to the retail department.

And this stream of customers could last for three to five days, securing a profit of at least fifty or sixty yuan per day.

Chi Yun’er raised an eyebrow. "Something like that. If you want good business, you have to lead people to you. Once they walk through our doors, will they really leave empty-handed?"

This time, they desperately needed staff to free themselves from spinning like tops. So, they decided to choose from people they knew.

People they knew well would also allow them to step back and focus on other tasks.

Next time, however, they would have to be strict and hire employees based on comprehensive assessment scores, from highest to lowest.

Chi Yun’er took this opportunity to assign tasks to everyone.

"Tomorrow, let’s hire two family members to start. We’ll see how it goes..."

Since they all lived in the same family compound, everyone knew each other’s character and how they handled things. It was easy to pick two people from the group.

They were all capable and sharp housewives, tactful without being stingy or greedy for small advantages. Plus, their families were genuinely under heavy financial burdens.

Unable to find suitable temporary jobs, they took on odd jobs every day to supplement their household income.

When the two were chosen, even though it was just a temporary position with no base salary, only a commission on sales, they felt like they were dreaming. They wept with joy and thanked everyone profusely.

Chi Yun’er also made a trip to the canteen and had a long talk with the Steward.

The hospital canteen was in a rather remote location, next to the guest house. The inpatient department was in between, and then the outpatient clinic was closer to the main hospital gate.

The outpatient clinic was busier in the evening. People get hungry quickly when they’re active, so Chi Yun’er figured they could help the canteen sell some staple foods in the morning and evening, while supplying tea eggs all day.
