Chapter 80 - Recruiting Employees (4)

“I am talking about my sister-in-law. Aye! I will be honest with you. She’s not that young anymore. Are you only looking for young girls? If so, then just pretend that I have never asked.” Wu Xiuyue took a look at Shu Yan and carried on, “That being said, my sister-in-law really is a pretty girl. She is tall and her skin is light colored. She’d look good in anything.”

“You are so young yourself, how old could your sister-in-law be?” Shu Yan would need to meet her to see if she is pretty. “How old is she now? And she’s not working right now?”

“She’s 28 this year.” Talking about her sister-in-law gave Wu Xiuyue a headache. “My sister-in-law graduated from a technical institution and then started working in a factory. She’s pretty and fairly articulate as well. But she was prideful. There had been many who wanted to marry her in the past, but she didn’t like any of them. Next thing you know she’s that age already. And the factory that she is working at? They haven’t paid any wages for six months already. My thought is for her to resign, take the final pay, and look for a different job outside. What is the point of dragging on like that, right?”

“28 is not that old. She’ll get married when the right person comes along.” Shu Yan could relate to that. Her original self was still single at 30 and also was the subject of gossip. Especially around new year time, all the aunties would keep on nagging as though she had committed some sort of heinous crime. And that was 20~30 years from now. She could only imagine the kind of pressure at this time and age. If Wu Xiuyue’s sister-in-law was decent, she would be quite happy to hire her on as a sales clerk. At least she knew she was good with handling pressures.

“Why don’t we do this then? Have her come to my shop tomorrow and take a look. It’s not just me picking someone; she, too, is also picking her new job.”

“Okay, I will let her know.” Wu Xiuyue was very happy with Shu Yan’s reply.

The clothing shop was about 100 m2. Shu Yan’s plan was to hire one manager and two store clerks. Even if Wu Xiuyue’s sister-in-law worked out, she would still need to hire two more. It was no easy feat to hire a manager with experience. Welp, still a little over a month till the grand opening. She still has some time.

She went and trademarked her logo and also hired someone to design a very pretty “Yan” character with a colorful butterfly on top of it. She had also registered the name of the store; it didn’t cost much anyway. Shu Yan even registered all sorts of names related to Yanni, including anything ranging from eateries to living establishments.

The architect finished even earlier than the timeline that he had provided for Shu Yan. He had finished the drawing by that afternoon.

“You are fantastic. This is exactly what I have in mind. Let’s move forward with what you have.” But, if they are going to go with his design, the original couch no longer goes with anything else. “Would it be difficult to find these lights and couch?”

The architect looked embarrassed for a second there. He was too happy when designing it and some of his designs were not too realistic. Mainly because it wasn’t every day that he would run into a customer with good taste and appreciated his design concepts. “I have only seen these in magazines from overseas. We might not be able to get them here just yet, so we would either have to order them from overseas or have them custom made locally. I have some connections and having them custom made here would be a lot cheaper.” He was quite worried that Shu Yan would decide against them because of the cost.

“Okay. Let’s go with your friends.” Shu Yan liked the design a lot, and she’d be okay spending a little bit more on them. This was going to be her first shop; she wanted everything to be as perfect as possible.
