Chapter 72: Chapter 36: Zhao Jingyi and Xia Mengxue
Working on an assembly line was their best bet at this point.
After all, they had no degrees, no age-related advantages, and no work experience.
At least factories didn’t care about degrees. They provided food and lodging, and you could still save a decent amount of money each month.
"But every job has a one-month probation period. If you join a factory now, you might only make three or four thousand a month, and they’ll hold back your first month’s pay. You’d work twelve hours a day with just enough time for meals. No phones, no naps, and you can’t even slack off."
Jiang Li took a sip of her drink. "Are you sure you can handle that kind of life?"
The two girls looked at each other, their voices on the verge of tears. "But besides working in a factory, we can’t think of anything else we can do!"
"Can you sing and dance?"
They both nodded.
"Want to get into the entertainment industry?"
They both shook their heads at the same time.
"What about being influencers?"
"But it’s not that easy to become an influencer. The two of us have no foundation, and if we sign with a shady agency, our lives will be over."
Taking on the responsibility of saving these budding flowers of the future, Jiang Li adopted a serious expression. "I happen to have a company. If you trust me, you can come work for me."
Just as the two girls were nodding, about to agree, Jiang Li spoke up. "The thing is, the company is still under renovation right now. If you don’t mind that, I can have someone prepare the contracts."
"We don’t mind, we don’t mind at all!"
’How could we possibly mind!’
’Who wouldn’t want a beautiful, kind-hearted boss!’
Jiang Li nodded and asked, "Alright, since you don’t mind, shall I have my assistant bring over two contracts?"
"Yes, no problem."
"No problem for me either."
Jiang Li immediately called Liu Qian, but it turned out Liu Qian was supervising the construction and couldn’t get away.
So she had to post her request in the group chat, saying whoever was free could come over. The errand fee was 1,000.
The originally quiet group chat instantly came to life. After all, it was 1,000 yuan—who wouldn’t want free money?
A crowd of people started arguing nonstop in the chat, but in the end, the opportunity was snatched by Zhong Xu, who was the closest and had a printer at home.
Zhong Xu didn’t waste any words. He just posted a picture of the contract in the chat, sent a location pin, and was immediately chosen by Jiang Li.
Once he arrived, Jiang Li introduced him. "This is my assistant, Zhong Xu. From now on, if you two have any work-related problems, you can go to him."
The two girls called out in unison, "Hello, Brother Zhong!"
Zhong Xu nodded and handed over the contracts. "Take a look at these. If there are no issues, you can sign them."
Meeting the two girls’ gazes, Jiang Li blinked. "If you’re not comfortable, I can also get a lawyer to come over."
’Anyway, she had Jiang Yuemo’s contact information. She could activate her money-power and have the lawyer here on demand.’
"No, no need." The two girls waved their hands. "Miss, we trust you."
’After all, neither of them seemed like the type to deceive people. Plus, their clothes and demeanor screamed ’well-off.’ Why would they bother scamming two students who hadn’t even graduated yet?’
’They didn’t have a penny to their names; there was nothing worth scamming.’
They took the contracts from Zhong Xu and quickly scrawled their names. After signing, one of them asked, "Do you have an ink pad?"
Zhong Xu looked at Jiang Li with an embarrassed expression. "Sorry, I was in such a rush to get here that I didn’t bring an ink pad."
Jiang Li waved her hand dismissively. "If there’s no ink pad, lipstick will work too." She then took a tube of barely-used lipstick out of her purse.
"Miss, you’ve barely used this lipstick, and it’s a Saint Laurent! Maybe we should just skip it?"
Jiang Li smiled serenely. "It’s fine. It’s just one tube of lipstick. I have plenty more at home. Don’t worry about it."
Only then did the two girls, relieved of their guilt, smear the lipstick on their thumbs and press their thumbprints onto the signature lines.
Now that they were her employees, Jiang Li, as their boss, naturally had to understand their living situation. "Do you two have a place to stay right now?"
The two girls awkwardly looked at each other, saying nothing.
Jiang Li snapped her fingers and turned to Shen Yanzhi. "Is there a hotel across from Yunfeng Building?"
Shen Yanzhi had been at Yunfeng Building for the past two days, so he should know the surrounding area better than she did.
Shen Yanzhi nodded. "There’s a five-star hotel."
Jiang Li immediately instructed Zhong Xu, "Go make contact and see if you can buy that hotel."
Zhong Xu swallowed hard and pointed to himself. "Boss, did you just tell me to go buy the hotel?"
