After Xiao Gang knew about Xie Xiaodong, he has been trying to support him as much as possible, and often looks for opportunities to introduce some odd jobs to him.

He also found him a simple set of second-hand carving tools, some of the cheapest scraps for him to practice, and gave him several books on carving and painting techniques for him to teach himself.

But the only regret is that he has not been able to find a person or school for Xie Xiaodong who is willing to teach him the craft.

Wang Peng and Wu Lao, after hearing about Xie Xiaodong, were unusually silent.

Wang Peng said: "Wu Lao, I will cover all the costs of learning the craft in the future, and the cost of eating, drinking, and sleeping, but in your name, don't mention me, lest other employees have opinions." ”

After a long time, Wu Lao nodded his head slightly, then turned around and walked back to the conference room.

In the final interview results, including Xie Xiaodong, Wu Lao and his wife fell in love with a total of seven jade carvers.

Wang Peng agreed with everyone on the spot to give everyone a week to take care of the family, and a week later, everyone gathered at Wu Lao's home in the ancient city of Yangnan, and then went to Songnan City to work together.

Afterwards, Xie Xiaodong was left alone.

I don't know the reason, he sat there, looking very nervous, his lips were tightly pursed, one hand unconsciously pinched the carving knife tightly, and the other hand pinched the edge of his pants, his face was a little pale, and he had completely lost the concentration and calmness of the carving just now.

"Xiaodong, I'll just call you Xiaodong, okay?" Wang Peng said in a kind and soft voice.

Xie Xiaodong stared at Wang Peng, nodded his head, and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Xiaodong, that's the case, we learned that your carving skills are all learned by yourself, and you haven't had any professional guidance, right?" Wang Peng asked.

"Well, thanks to Uncle Xiao's guidance and help on weekdays, I know that my skills are not qualified, but please don't want me, I will work hard to learn, I, I don't need a monthly salary of four thousand, as long as I can give me four hundred, no, three hundred." ”

Seeing Wang Peng and them, they had already figured out their details, Xie Xiaodong couldn't be nervous, and already brought a pleading tone.

"Xiaodong, don't be nervous, come, drink saliva first. Wang Peng smiled lightly and pushed a glass of water off the table.

Xie Xiaodong respectfully took the water cup with both hands, and didn't drink it, the corners of his mouth were slightly open, and he stared at Wang Peng like that. Probably he didn't understand, this is the one being sung?

"Xiaodong, I discussed it with Wu Lao, Wu Lao is more optimistic about you, so I decided to keep you, but I have one condition, I hope you can do it. ”

In order not to let Xie Xiaodong worry about being afraid, Wang Peng didn't wait for him and continued.

"The condition is that you have to go through an assessment once a month, and if you can pass the assessment, you can continue to stay with me, do you understand?"

"Oh, I understand, I will definitely not disappoint you, Wu Lao and Uncle Xiao. ”

When it comes to assessment, Xie Xiaodong's eyebrows are full of confidence and firmness.

"Well, that's good. Wang Peng nodded.

"That, that's ......" Xie Xiaodong didn't say anything for a long time.

Wang Peng knew what he meant, and said with a smile:

"Strictly speaking, your current level can only be regarded as an apprentice, you can receive a salary, but it is not fixed, only if you can complete each assessment, can Wu Lao decide, how much you can get per month, do you think this is okay?"

"So?"

Xie Xiaodong was quite hesitant, if the salary is not fixed, it is possible to work hard for a month and not get a penny, but the situation at home is ...... Moreover, it is not local, Xie Xiaodong is completely relieved.

But just give up, he doesn't want to, this is a great opportunity to learn technology, this old Wu in front of him should be a person with great ability, can learn two tricks from him, and it will definitely be of infinite benefit to him in the future.

"Boy, what are you hesitating about? Do you know who Old Wu is? He is the master of jade carving in our province, how many people can't ask for the opportunity, what else do you want?"

Xiao Gang looked at Xie Xiaodong, who was hesitant, and jumped to his feet in a hurry.

Xiao Gang also understood the problem, and said: "You can go at ease, I will watch the order at your house, tomorrow, I will rent the idle storefront at the gate to your home at the internal price, you just need to study seriously, don't think about it." ”

"By the way, Xiaodong, there is one more thing. ”

Wang Peng suddenly found that there was something that he had overlooked.

"Your situation is special, in order not to let you have worries, I approved you to withdraw half a year's salary in advance, as a settlement fee, to make up the whole, this is 25,000 yuan, don't put so much cash on you, wait for a bank card and deposit the money first." ”

After speaking, Wang Peng took out the money from his bag, and did not give it to Xie Xiaodong, but handed it to Xiao Gang, and asked him to accompany Xie Xiaodong to the bank.

Xie Xiaodong was completely stunned at this time, his eyes were red and moist, and his whole body was trembling a little, and it could be seen that he was trying to restrain his excitement.

In the end, Xie Xiaodong left with Xiao Gang.

Before leaving, he suddenly came to Wang Peng and knelt down, "bumpered" and buckled his head three times, got up, didn't speak, turned around and left.

Looking at the direction Xie Xiaodong left, and then at Wang Peng, Wu Lao sighed, patted Wang Peng on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, this kid has a good heart, he won't fail you." ”

After waiting for an hour and a half, Xiao Gang returned to the employment center.

"How's it going? Did you do it for the kid?"

As soon as Wu Lao met, he immediately asked with concern.

"It's done, there are acquaintances in the nearby bank, and I cut a line. He also took Xiaodong to buy some things that the family needs every day, and bought two sets of new clothes and new bedding for his mother and younger siblings. ”

"I also went to the owner's house and told his mother about opening a small food seller. ”

Xiao Gang briefly described the whole process.

"Brother Wang, Xiaodong can have this opportunity, thank you really for it, otherwise...... Alas, I hope Xiaodong and his family can get better from now on!"

As he spoke, Xiao Gang didn't know how to continue.

"Brother Xiao, a family, don't say anything outside the world. Wang Peng turned around and asked Wu Lao, "Wu Lao, are you recruiting enough people today?"

Seeing Wang Peng ask himself, Wu Lao thought about it for a while: "At present, it is enough, but ...... However, there is still a general who can control the field, so it is not easy to find. ”

Wang Peng felt that this was quite right, Wu Lao belonged to the commander level, and the following group of elite soldiers, but how could there be a reason for the commander to lead his troops to fight, he must have a general.

"Brother Xiao, look, are there any people who are eligible?"

Wang Peng took out the cigarettes, scattered one for each person, and then lit them with helpers.
