Chapter 278 Casting a wide net
Seeing that the other party did not make any further moves, he seemed to have obtained some kind of tacit consent, and he crawled away from the scene, running for his life, leaving behind only a disheveled back.
Xu Xiufang snorted contemptuously, "With such little courage, how dare you be so arrogant and domineering?"
The words contain both sarcasm and sympathy for the weak.
"It's nothing more than bullying the weak and fearing the strong," Xie Yi responded calmly, but his tone hid his helplessness towards the fickleness of the world.
This scene made Wang Degui, who was standing by, feel a mixture of emotions.
He had thought that the couple lived a wealthy life and were kind-hearted, and although he was in awe of the toughness they had just displayed, he believed that they were warm and generous by nature.
Being willing to lend money to yourself is the best proof.
But their ruthlessness made him see another side of them. He secretly exclaimed in his heart: "This... This kind of ruthlessness is really chilling!"
Thinking of the irresistible force that Xie Yi used to punish the landlord, Wang Degui couldn't help but shudder. When he looked at Xie Yi again, his eyes unconsciously carried more respect and fear.
"Pharaoh?"
Xie Yi's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Well, what happened?"
Wang Degui suddenly came to his senses and asked anxiously.
"It's nothing serious," Xie Yi said in a relaxed tone, and then asked, "Do you have free time now? We have something we want to discuss with you."
"When you're free, when you're free!"
Wang Degui quickly responded with a sincere attitude, "Brother Yi, sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Xu Xiufang took over the conversation, "Lao Wang, have you found a job now?"
When asked this question, Wang Degui's face flashed with embarrassment, "Uh... not yet..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and added hastily: "Are you worried about the money? I can't take it out for the time being... But if you really need it urgently, I can find a way to return the money to you as soon as possible..."
Xu Xiufang quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, we are not here to collect debts, and we are not in a hurry to use the money."
Wang Degui was even more confused. "What do you want from me? Just tell me. I will do my best to help you!"
Xu Xiufang smiled and stated her intention, "In fact, we do need your help with something, and we will pay you accordingly."
"No need for reward!"
Wang Degui did not understand the implication of Xu Xiufang's words, and said sincerely, "Brother Yi has helped me a lot before. It is my duty to help you. How can I ask for compensation? This is not..."
Suddenly, Wang Degui seemed to catch the subtlety of Xu Xiufang's words. His eyes flickered and he looked at Xu Xiufang, "You...are you talking about us?"
The doubts in my mind are like buds breaking through the soil, waiting to be confirmed.
"That's right," Xu Xiufang finally revealed the answer, with a sly smile, "We would like to invite you and your friends to help."
Wang Degui opened his mouth slightly when he heard this, and for a moment he was unsure of his ears.
Does this mean that they are not only willing to help, but also want to provide a job opportunity to his brothers, including him? This sudden kindness and opportunity surprised him and moved him even more.
The uneasiness in Wang Degui's heart was like the dark clouds in a summer afternoon, floating quietly. He couldn't help but cast a probing glance at Xie Yi.
Xie Yi's face remained calm, but the unspoken affirmation in his heart was like a ray of light that penetrated the fog in Wang Degui's heart.
"Brother Yi, sister-in-law, what you guys did..."
He almost blurted out the words, but when he touched the edge of the sensitive topic, he braked suddenly and changed his words: "This trick is not simple!"
His eyes moved around cautiously, fearing that a careless word would bring unnecessary disaster to Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang.
“We say this is help, and it means help!”
Xie Yi's words were filled with unquestionable determination, "Don't worry about us, we know what's going on. You should consider whether to go it alone or bring your brothers along!"
There was a power in Xie Yi's tone that could not be ignored, as if everything was under his control.
Dry!
This word caused ripples in Wang Degui's heart.
Who wouldn’t want to get involved in a profitable job?
Especially for people like them, who are in desperate situations and almost have their last bit of strength squeezed out by the pressure of life!
They are no longer afraid of so-called involvement. After all, life behind bars is not unfamiliar to them.
"What exactly can I help you with?"
Wang Degui couldn't wait to ask, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.
"Collecting junk."
Xie Yi's words were brief and to the point, but they contained infinite possibilities.
"We will prepare all the necessary tools. You and your brothers only need to go through the streets and alleys, collect waste and sort it. We will teach you all the skills."
Xu Xiufang added softly, her voice gentle but firm: "For the first month, the salary will be paid daily, 1.5 yuan a day. If after a month, we both feel that the cooperation is pleasant, we can convert it to a long-term employee with a monthly salary of 60 yuan. Of course, if either party feels that it is not suitable, they can withdraw at any time. Similarly, if we find that someone is not suitable, we will make corresponding adjustments."
Wang Degui nodded repeatedly. This arrangement was both reasonable and logical, and absolutely impeccable.
One dollar and fifty cents a day, cumulatively, that's forty-five dollars a month. After becoming a long-term worker, the salary went straight to sixty dollars, far exceeding his meager income in the factory.
The most exciting thing is that this daily wage is tailor-made for people like them who are penniless and can barely afford three meals a day!
"Who would refuse such a good thing? Unless you are a fool!"
Wang Degui's face was filled with irrepressible excitement, and he blurted out: "Let's do it!"
"Why don't you ask your brothers?"
There was a hint of smile in Xie Yi's inquiring eyes.
"I'll ask right away, but I'm sure I'll do it, and they probably won't have any objections."
Wang Degui answered with full confidence and repeatedly expressed his determination to Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi.
Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang's trust in Wang Degui is self-evident.
Whether or not they can recruit staff is not a mandatory condition for them.
It would be the best if there is one, but it doesn’t matter if there is no one. At worst, you can do it yourself and then cast a wider net to find other people.
After all, anything that can be paved with money is not a real problem.
The warmth surging in Wang Degui's heart dispelled all the coldness like the spring sunshine.
Brother Yi and his wife must have come to help me because I was unemployed!
He secretly vowed to work hard to repay this kindness.
Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang had never expected that their mutually beneficial plan would turn into full gratitude from Wang Degui.
After explaining everything, the two prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Xu Xiufang handed over the address of the courtyard and said in a gentle voice: "Just come directly..."
As she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly think of something, turned her eyes to the sundries that were rudely discarded by the landlord, and asked with concern: "Do you still want to continue living here?"
