From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket
Chapter 35: Realization
CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: REALIZATION
That’s why Lin Ye dared to say that.
Plus, the reason he has such thoughts.
One is that he feels leaving work too early is not good.
After all, he’s working for someone else and can’t just take the money for nothing.
Sixty yuan a month is not a small amount.
Though today, the goods sold made nearly over a hundred yuan.
But, although Lin Ye has never done business, he understands some things.
Doing business requires costs.
Maybe when each item is sold and reached Jiang Xin’s hands, some only earn the cost price.
After all, the prices of the things they sell are not very high.
So, the money that actually reaches Jiang Xin’s hands isn’t much.
Lin Ye roughly estimated.
He guessed that Jiang Xin’s goods, after deducting the cost price, might only earn about twenty yuan.
Anyway, that’s what he guessed.
As for Jiang Xin’s purchase prices, he’s really not very clear on that.
So, he’s thinking, while it’s still early, it’s just midday, he can help sell more, and Jiang Xin can earn a bit more money.
Currently, in Lin Ye’s heart, Jiang Xin is his lifesaver, and he’s truly thinking of ways to repay Jiang Xin’s life-saving grace.
But unfortunately, he has no strength now.
He only has energy, so he just wants to help Jiang Xin with more work.
After all, Jiang Xin is the one paying his salary.
Moreover, Lin Ye is well aware.
Jiang Xin, a young girl, comes to the market diligently to set up a stall, to put it bluntly, isn’t it just to make money?
What he does is just what he should do.
Every month, people pay him sixty yuan as a salary, which in this era, is not a small amount.
At least among the people he knows, no one earns this salary.
What’s the sense of taking money without doing anything?
So, when Jiang Xin said to pack up, Lin Ye’s first reaction was to let Jiang Xin go home and rest.
He continued to sell goods in the market.
He would pack up when there was no one left in the market.
This way, even if he’s slow and can’t speak well, he can still call out a few times and attract some customers, no problem.
As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush.
The things Jiang Xin sells are top-notch, so there’s simply no worry about selling, the key is they’re good and cheap.
As long as the stuff is displayed on the stall, passersby can’t help but stop and take a look, and soon the goods are sold.
This morning, when Jiang Xin was not around, that’s how the goods were sold.
Though he called out a few times, the few words he managed weren’t as clever as Jiang Xin’s.
Lin Ye thought in his heart, he’d better learn, business relies on eloquence, when his speech becomes fluent, business will improve.
Anyway, after a morning of practice, Lin Ye has realized quite a few things.
Jiang Xin and Lin Ye have different thoughts.
Their ideas are completely different.
Jiang Xin didn’t set big goals, she originally just thought about bringing out a sack of goods from space every day to sell, and once sold out, she’d finish work directly.
After all, while money is better the more you earn, she feels that setting up a stall is also very exhausting.
People can’t always be in a state of fatigue, they need to take proper rest.
Anyway, since the goods are sold and the money is earned, without worrying about spending, she should take a proper break.
So when Jiang Xin heard Lin Ye’s words, she was momentarily stunned.
In her previous life, she also worked and naturally understood some workers’ mentalities.
When she went to work before, sitting in the office all day, she most looked forward to after work.
No one wants to be in the office like cattle and horses all day.
But the mindset of people in this era seems a bit different from hers.
She had already told Lin Ye to finish and go home, yet this person still wants to continue earning money at the market stall.
Does she seem like a boss who likes to exploit workers?
Jiang Xin opened her mouth, seeing Lin Ye so full of energy, she suddenly fell silent.
She suddenly realized that the people of this era are completely different from her.
Jiang Xin’s thinking is way beyond these times.
But Lin Ye is different, he belongs entirely to this era.
So, the spirit of hard work and endurance is deeply rooted in him.
Otherwise, someone earning a fixed salary should be very happy to hear the boss tell them to leave early.
How could someone be willing to voluntarily work overtime?
If it were Jiang Xin, she wouldn’t be willing.
So Jiang Xin said:
"No, these goods are already sold, today’s earnings target is met, so there’s no need to suffer here any longer."
"In the future, our work system will be like this; alongside work, there has to be appropriate rest. After meeting daily task goals, we’ll directly call it a day; you have to get used to it."
Jiang Xin doesn’t care about the rest; as her employee, you have to listen to her.
Work hours are set by her.
She doesn’t care about anything else; with the stall, she doesn’t have to handle everything herself.
As long as Lin Ye can sell the goods, that’s good.
As for how Lin Ye sells the goods and calls out, she doesn’t care.
Seeing Lin Ye still looking hesitant as if about to say something else,
Jiang Xin waved her hand to shut him up, saying, "I’m the boss, I make the rules. Now let’s pack up, go to the State-owned Restaurant for lunch, and then go home."
Jiang Xin was in a good mood today because she not only rented a desirable house but also hired a satisfactory employee.
From the few words Lin Ye said just now, it showed he’s a hardworking person.
Anyway, as for the boss offering an early finish yet someone wanting to work overtime voluntarily, that’s something Jiang Xin would never do.
Jiang Xin’s tone leaves no room for refusal.
Lin Ye saw Jiang Xin so adamant, originally wanting to say something more.
But seeing Jiang Xin’s expression, he immediately swallowed back his words.
It’s not good to upset Jiang Xin.
As Jiang Xin said, she’s the boss, she calls the shots.
He’s just an employee, after all, still needing to listen to his boss.
Lin Ye resignedly packed up, folding the plastic sheet on the ground and putting it into the sack.
