Chapter 162: How expensive is the labor cost
After Feng Lu participated in the selection of the topic for her graduation thesis, she learned that her application to stay in school was also successfully approved. She immediately rushed to the school's personnel department and signed an employment agreement with the school to stay in school.
Feng Lu happily told her roommates the news, saying that she was going to invite everyone to a dinner to celebrate, but she was short of money now and would make up for everyone later. Su Yuhan and the others were also happy for her, congratulated each other, and said that it was not a bad meal, and it would be the same if they got together again in the future.
Feng Lu was even happier that since she had solved the work matter, Dean Ai seemed to know the background of her staying in school, and no longer called or texted her to provoke her.
Everything is going in a good direction, and the haze that has been haunting her in the past is gradually dissipating. Feng Lu began to be busy looking for part-time jobs during the winter break. In order to find a suitable part-time unit, Feng Lu walked out of school early every day with great interest, and returned to the dormitory exhausted at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, collapsed on the bed, almost paralyzed. Of course, her breakfast is served in the school cafeteria, which is still the cheapest and most hygienic. At noon and in the evening, she would order noodles or rice bowls at various small shops on the side of the road, which were generally not expensive and hot, which added infinite energy and confidence to her re-departure.
Because they are facing the end of the semester, students who usually work part-time have to prepare for final exams, have dinner parties or go home early for the winter vacation, and many stores near the school are facing serious staff shortages.
But after a few days of looking for and talking, these shop owners all retreated, and Feng Lu still didn't find a suitable job. She has always been a teaching assistant and assistant manager in school, and she is familiar with this part. She had recently suffered another injury to her right wrist and was unable to do strenuous work when she entered the store, so she wanted to work only as a cashier or mental worker. Because of her request, she was unceremoniously rejected by the owners of almost all fast food restaurants, several small supermarkets, restaurants, and hotels near the school.
How expensive is the labor cost now, which store still specializes in cashiers who only do cashiers and do not do other chores? Some stores need her to help serve dishes and deliver food, some stores need her to clean, and some stores need to help with laundry and laundry. Some of the remaining shops simply told Feng Lu that the workers had to return to their hometowns during the Spring Festival, so they needed to close their shops, and they could only hire her for half a month. After coming and going, Feng Lu found that only going to the cinema to work part-time can find a relatively easy job, and only need to check the ticket, but the salaries of part-time staff in the nearby theaters during the winter vacation have all doubled, and the vacated positions have already been set more than a month in advance, Feng Lu went too late and had no chance. But more than a month ago, Feng Lu was on the cusp of pushing the qualifications for exempting students, and every day she didn't know if the sun would rise as usual the next day, and she didn't have time to think about part-time jobs at all.
Although Feng Lu was tired and collapsed every night, every time she received a greeting message from William Wong, she always reported him good news and not bad news. She told William Wong which stores she was looking for and how much the stores wanted to recruit her, but she had to look for more and compare more. The next day, she would start again with her sore, sore feet, looking for new opportunities. The road she walked was getting longer and longer day by day, and the store she was looking for was naturally getting farther and farther away from the school.
On the morning of New Year's Day, Feng Lu walked to a large commercial building one stop away from the school, and the outer periphery of the building was three high-rise buildings facing the road. There are a variety of shops, including hairdressers, beauty salons, snack bars, fast food outlets, photocopiers, tuition agencies, KTVs, clothing stores, and small supermarkets.
Although this area has deviated from Feng Lu's original planned commercial area around the school, she has no choice, and the business opportunities near the school have been occupied by others early, so she can only seek opportunities from the periphery of the school. She thought about it, the beauty salon must need a small worker with relevant beauty salon experience, she does not have these experiences, and the hair and beauty products used in the beauty salon have a certain smell, she is not willing to work in such an environment, just skip it. Snack bars, fast food restaurants and small supermarkets should be the same as those near the school if they need people, and they must need generalists, and hard work is inevitable, and there is no need to talk to the store. Feng Lu walked back and forth, only fanciing the two stores of the tutoring institution and KTV, and she had worked as a teaching assistant and assistant manager in the school before, maybe these experiences had a little effect on the tutoring institution.
Feng Lu raised his hands and rubbed his face, softening his face that had been stiffened by the cold wind. She shook her spirits, took a deep breath, and walked into the tutoring institution of XX Education Group, which was opened for middle school students. As soon as Feng Lu walked into the store, a girl wearing a ponytail and light makeup walked out of the not too big front desk. The girl greeted Feng Lu warmly: "Hello, may I ask what is the matter with you?" ”
"I don't know if you're looking for someone here, I'm looking for a job here." Feng Lu pulled down the hat of the down jacket on her head, straightened her hair with her hands, and said to the girl.
"Sorry, we don't need it here. I haven't heard our boss say it's going to be hired. ”
"Is your boss here? Can you help me ask your boss? Feng Lu pleaded. She finally took a fancy to this institution and was unwilling to give up just like that.
"The boss wasn't there, she had to come over at three o'clock in the afternoon. Are you a middle school teacher? The girl looked Feng Lu up and down curiously.
"I'm not a teacher, I'm a senior student. Our school is about to have a winter vacation, and my home is too far away, so I don't plan to go home during this year's winter vacation, so I thought of using this vacation to work outside to earn some living expenses. ”
"Oh, it's not a teacher, it's a college student. It is even more impossible for our store to recruit college students, and to recruit experienced middle school teachers to come over part-time, I have never heard of recruiting college students. How good is it to go home for the Chinese New Year during the winter vacation, where is your home? Don't you miss home? ”
"My family is from Sichuan, and I used to go home during the winter vacation, but this is the last year, and I want to spend a year outside."
"Your home is from Sichuan, that's really far away! I have been to one of my aunts, who works in Chongqing, and I can't understand what they are talking about. You speak Mandarin so well, you don't have a Sichuan accent at all. ”
"My home is in Nanchong, not too far from Chongqing. I went to school all the time, and I always spoke Mandarin at school, so I didn't have any accent. ”
"Do you speak Nanchong? Say a word and see if I can understand it. ”
"I haven't spoken Nanchong for a long time, you let me say it, I quietly Mimisuo."
"What does it mean to 'quietly Mimisuo'? Is it the meaning of hiding secretly? ”
"Almost, that is, I am scared."
"It's funny. By the way, what's your name? And what kind of lectures will you teach? Why don't I ask our boss for you and see if our boss can keep you. The girl had a good impression of Feng Lu from Nanchong and took the initiative to ask.
