In the crowd, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl asked a round-faced girl of about the same age next to her:

"Qi Qiuqiu, you usually think of some novel things the most, and you will definitely pass this selection."

As she spoke, her eyes filled with envy.

The two seemed to be on good terms, and they were both nervously holding each other's hands at this time.

The woman named Qi Qiuqiu waved her hand embarrassedly when she heard this: "I'm just idle at home and think about it casually, where can I be elegant, the people who came here to participate in the selection today are all famous embroiderers in the nearby city, where do I have the ability to stand out among them." ”

"That's not necessarily, I heard that the Bai family's ready-to-wear workshop is different from other shops, and making clothes does not completely require following the old system, maybe those ideas you have on weekdays can be realized." The girl grabbed Qi Qiuqiu's hand with some excitement and said.

Qi Qiuqiu was also a little moved by what she said.

She has been good at needlework since she was a child, and her skills in the nearby village are the best, and she often has some strange ideas when making clothes on weekdays, just because her family is poor, and she is not in a position to realize those ideas.

But if you successfully pass the selection of the Bai Family Clothing Workshop, you may really be able to turn the beautiful clothes you imagined into reality.

Everyone was anxiously waiting.

I don't know how long it took, but at noon, the door was reopened, and Meng Lianyi, Bai Wanning, and the steward came out together.

When Meng Lianyi and the others appeared, everyone on the field who was still talking stopped their movements and looked at them with blank eyes.

Meng Lianyi glanced at the butler.

The housekeeper immediately understood, picked up the list that the two had just determined and walked in front of everyone.

"Thank you for coming to participate in the selection of our Bai family today, and now our owner has also passed the design you just designed to determine the candidates who can stay, and the next person who reads the name, please come forward."

After the butler finished speaking, he began to read the name:

"Dawan Village, Yang Xiuzhu."

"It's me, I'm chosen." A woman stood up with excitement when she heard her name.

She is not a professional embroiderer, just because she learned some embroidery work with her mother before getting married, and the reason why she came here this time is also to try her luck with the legendary five taels of silver per month.

But I didn't want to be really chosen.

I cried with joy for a while.

And the people around her also looked at it with envy.

"Congratulations."

"It's really lucky, it will mean that the people of the Bai family's clothing shop will be in the future."

Seeing everyone so excited, Meng Lianyi also sighed.

In today's era, it is not easy for women to make money, and it is a good thing for these women to have a job with five taels of silver for a monthly salary.

For a moment, the rest of the women looked at the steward more eagerly.

For the first time, the steward was looked at by so many people with expectant eyes, and he didn't dare to delay, and continued to read his name: "Xu Guihua, Wang Chunniang......"

Every time a name is pronounced, one person bursts into cheers.

And the person whose name was called also walked to the front and stood at the front under the envious gaze of everyone, and as he got to the back, the crowd became more and more apprehensive.

Seeing that there were no more names left on the paper in the steward's hand, most of the people on the scene began to be disappointed.

Qi Qiuqiu also sighed: "Most of the people selected today are famous embroiderers in the neighborhood, and we are afraid that we will not have a chance." ”

Although her companions also hoped that Qi Qiuqiu could be selected, they saw that the selected were all famous embroiderers in the county, and they didn't think that their friends could be selected.

So he sighed and nodded, his eyes full of disappointment.

At this time, suddenly, the steward's voice sounded again: "Xiahe Village, Qi Qiuqiu." ”

Qi Qiuqiu was stunned on the spot when he heard his name being called by the steward.

"Yes...... Are you calling me? She pointed to herself uncertainly, then asked her companion.

The companion also recovered from the shock, and nodded busily: "It's you, and you're the only one in our Xiahe Village named Qi Qiuqiu, who else is it, Qi Qiuqiu, you've really been chosen!" ”

As she spoke, she grabbed Qi Qiuqiu's hand tightly with excitement.

Qi Qiuqiu also reacted from the shock, and hurriedly took two steps forward: "I...... I am Qi Qiuqiu from Xiahe Village. ”

The steward looked at her and nodded a little, and continued to read the next name.

When all the names were read, some people in the field were happy and some were worried.

Rejoice in those who are chosen, while those who are not chosen leave disappointed.

However, they did not return empty-handed, after all, today was delayed all day, so everyone got a red envelope containing thirty copper plates when they left.

It also makes those who didn't choose feel a little better.

After sending the losers out, Meng Lianyi solemnly said to the thirty-six women in front of him: "You have worked hard today, since you have passed our assessment, you can choose whether to stay and become the designer of my Bai Family Clothing Workshop, if you are willing to stay, you can sign a contract on the steward's side." ”

Meng Lianyi said and glanced at the steward.

The steward immediately understood, and placed the contract that had been written long ago in front of them.

A few of them were literate, and they immediately picked them up and looked at them carefully.

And some illiterate people are anxious to ask: "The owner, why do you have to sign this contract just to work?" ”

Nowadays, there are few literate people, and there is an inexplicable sense of tension when facing words.

"Yes, I've been an embroiderer for so many years, I've done things for many people, and I've never signed any contract, if this thing is signed, there won't be any problems, right?" A middle-aged woman asked worriedly.

Once, someone in their village signed a contract given by outsiders when they went out to work, but who knew that the contract was actually a deed of sale made by a scammer outside, and in the end, several people in the village were almost sold, and the village chief came forward to solve the matter.

But although the matter was resolved, it was precisely because of this that the people in their village were very afraid of such things as signing contracts.

So now, although I am very yearning for the job in front of me, I am worried again when I hear what contract I want to sign.

Meng Lianyi saw the reason why these people were worried, and after chuckling, he said, "Are you worried that you will be deceived if you sign a contract rashly?" ”

None of the people below spoke, and Meng Lianyi could see from their expressions that they really thought so.

I couldn't help but smile.
