Chapter 1214 Hiring Zi Zan
Ye Liu pinched her on the waist. She really was annoying but at the same time, he felt a bit happy. His wife was willing to show affection to him instead of shirking his presence just because he could not get pregnant and give her a child.
Even Ye Zexian felt like he was worrying too much as his brother was clearly doted on a lot. Just now he reacted so poorly and yet Yu Dong did not snap back at him in words like —— You should be glad that I am even showing my affection to you, you barren waste of space.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Alright, alright. I know that you are shy baby," Yu Dong turned to look at Ye Zexian and his husband. She ignored how Ye Liu hissed at her and told her that she shouldn't call him baby in front of others. He liked it when she called him baby but there was no need for her to do that outside the bedroom.
Yu Dong however did not listen to him and then turned to look at Ye Zexian who smiled at her and asked, " Was it busy at the mall?"
"Yes, I thought that the crowd would die down but it only started to get even crazier," Yu Dong introduced the new doll that had a congratulatory message embroidered on it because she wanted to divert the attention of the customers but they ended up getting crazier. Now she was receiving more and more customized orders.
It had placed a strain on the embroiders and seamstresses as well as the tailors. A good thing that she had already hired a bunch before.
Ye Zexian nodded. Though he was envious when he heard Yu Dong describe the situation, he did not feel anything else. After all, Yu Dong was the one who worked hard for her mall to succeed there was no need for him to feel jealous or insecure.
" Dong Dong, Liu told me that you want to buy oranges and raw mangoes from us is this true? I mean you asked for 1200 catties of each fruit. That is a lot," Ye Zexian spoke to Yu Dong and Zi Mu who had been sitting silently till now also turned to look at Yu Dong as this was a serious matter.
Yu Dong hummed as she nodded. She said, "I need those fruits for something. Of course, if the products are a hit, I will increase the demand and ask for more fruits as well.
If you are willing then we can sign a contract… I will buy the raw mangoes and oranges at ten taels each." Though she could have bought these fruits at ten taels as well, Ye Liu told her that Ye Zexian was one of his brothers who looked after him.
Experience tales at empire
The other was his eldest brother whose whereabouts were unknown as he was sold when Ye Zexian and Ye Liu were too young and had no idea where their eldest brother was sent to. This was why she was willing to look after Ye Zexian.
She paused and added, " I heard from Liu that you also have a daughter who works in the town?"
Ye Zexian was shocked when he heard that he could sell his fruits at twenty taels but when Yu Dong asked about his daughter he snapped out of his daze and then nodded before saying, "She does. Though she is quite upset with her boss, she works in a restaurant and works for ten hours but her boss often deducts her wages by making excuses."
When Ye Zexian thought of how his daughter was sent to the town to work by his father-in-law just because his eldest grandson-in-law fancied a mer in the town and wanted to buy him at an exorbitant price, he felt his teeth itch.
It was because of his father-in-law that his daughter was suffering. If not for the fact that his father-in-law would raise the entire house on his head if he was to call his daughter back then he would have called his daughter back long ago.
"Is that so? Then what do you say about her joining my mall? I am looking for a chef who can lead the team at the bakery which would be opened at the mall." Yu Dong knew that there was no concept of a baker in this era there were only chefs and pastry chefs which was why she was looking for someone whom she could train.
If Zi Zan was skilled in handling the cooking at the restaurant then she could train her.
"Really? Are you willing to hire our daughter?" Zi Mu who was scared of Yu Dong couldn't help but ask in excitement. He knew how much his daughter hated to work at that restaurant but she had to because that restaurant was the only one who was hiring at the moment and everyone else was full.
His daughters said that she would look for somewhere else after she had gained enough experience but who knows when she would be able to get there?
Yu Dong nodded. " I will train her. Of course, I will pay her ten taels at the beginning, including the time when she is training. If she surpasses herself then I will increase her salary and make it twenty."
She was earning more than 300,00 taels a day now, it was easy for her to fork such a sum out without creating a hole in her pockets.
Zi Mu and Ye Zexian felt like they were dreaming. Did they even get a job for their daughter? Doesn't this mean that they would earn thirty taels per month and if their daughter was promoted then it would exceed forty taels?
" Is…is this really okay? I mean my daughter is a novice and she doesn't know much other than controlling fire and mixing sauces," Ye Zexian was worried that his daughter would cause trouble for Yu Dong and Ye Liu.
Yu Dong smiled and said, " Brother Zexian, everyone is a novice at the beginning. It doesn't mean that I should exploit your daughter right?"
