CHAPTER 90: CHAPTER 90: PRICING

In this way, Lin Ye could accept this money with peace of mind.

Moreover, by the end of the month, Jiang Xin wanted to see if she had enough funds on hand.

If she did, she still wanted to hire another employee.

After all, it’s such a large market stall; if only Lin Ye were taking care of it, he simply couldn’t manage everything alone.

Additionally, Jiang Xin intended to add some more product types, but if the variety was too mixed, pricing would be a hassle.

One person couldn’t possibly remember the pricing for so many products.

So, it’s necessary to hire another employee to reduce some of Lin Ye’s burden.

Mainly, if there were people familiar with Lin Ye that he could introduce to her, that would be acceptable, and besides, this way, it could still be seen as doing Lin Ye a favor.

Because today’s goods were quite a lot, a full three sacks, if Lin Ye were alone, it would indeed be challenging for him to carry all the items to the market and find a stall location.

Thus, Jiang Xin couldn’t just watch him move everything by himself; it wouldn’t feel right for her.

Lin Ye was indeed the employee she hired, but Jiang Xin would never exploit an employee like that.

Initially, Jiang Xin planned for Lin Ye to move the items by himself while she stayed back watching the remaining stuff; these three sacks would require about three trips to carry.

Therefore, both sides couldn’t do without people. If she and Lin Ye moved them together, the remaining sack left in this corner might be spotted by someone with ill intentions and taken away.

Originally, Jiang Xin didn’t mind this point, as generally few people come to this corner.

Moreover, the probability of these items being stolen wasn’t high.

If they were lost, she could casually take out a replacement from her space, so there wasn’t any particularly significant loss.

However, Lin Ye considered more than Jiang Xin did.

At the thought of the possibility of these goods being lost, Lin Ye decisively refused Jiang Xin’s idea of wanting to help him carry things.

Lin Ye asked Jiang Xin to wait for him there.

Lin Ye moved everything by himself, while Jiang Xin stayed there watching the other two bags of goods.

But, in this case, there was still a problem: if Lin Ye moved the goods in the sacks to the market.

When he came back for the other two sacks, nobody would be watching them, and in a bustling market, things could easily be stolen.

Lin Ye scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then told Jiang Xin not to worry about this, saying he had a solution.

Jiang Xin was puzzled but didn’t doubt Lin Ye’s idea.

Jiang Xin chose to listen to Lin Ye and stood there waiting.

After about three trips, Lin Ye finally moved all the items.

Curious, Jiang Xin asked, and it turned out that Lin Ye simply found an empty spot in the market.

Then, he asked a grandpa who had a stall next to his to help keep an eye on the items in the sack.

Just yesterday, he had become quite familiar with that grandpa, so asking him to help watch the items was easy.

The old man readily agreed, assuring Lin Ye not to worry and said he’d take care of it, which was why Lin Ye did it this way.

After coming back, Lin Ye took over the remaining sacks from Jiang Xin’s hands.

At the market, with new product types today, Jiang Xin needed to re-discuss the pricing with Lin Ye.

Just like yesterday, Lin Ye took out all the items from the bags, first spread out the cloth mat for the stall on the ground.

Then, under Jiang Xin’s instructions, he categorized and neatly arranged the products on the ground, waiting for people to come and choose.

After Jiang Xin explained the pricing, and with everything nearly organized by Lin Ye, she didn’t stay any longer.

After all, now that Jiang Xin was married, in a bustling town like this, it wasn’t unlikely that some villagers recognized her.

If someone recognized her standing with an unfamiliar man, who knows what gossip would spread when she returned to the village.

It’s better to avoid extra trouble, so Jiang Xin felt it’s better to be cautious and avoid assumptions.

Jiang Xin thought to herself, considering there are so many products, who knows when they will all be sold out.

Yesterday, it was nearly twelve o’clock before all the items were sold out, and today there’s twice as much, so it might take until the afternoon.

Jiang Xin looked at the time; it was almost half-past nine. They spent nearly half an hour transporting goods and organizing the stall.

Especially in this hot weather, standing in the market under the scorching sun, not very long, and Jiang Xin was already sweating profusely.

Jiang Xin thought, since she had nothing else to do for now, she could wander around a bit, then go to the cold drink stand to buy some iced water for Lin Ye; it would help cool him down.

After all, standing under the sun like that for long is indeed exhausting.

Later, she could go to the mall and get two sun hats because if anyone had a heatstroke, that would really be a tough situation.

Jiang Xin asked Lin Ye:

"Did you have breakfast this morning?"

Jiang Xin didn’t have much to do, and if Lin Ye hadn’t had breakfast.

She could go to the State-owned Restaurant and bring him some food; you need a full stomach to work energetically.

Jiang Xin isn’t the type to short her employees on meals.

Lin Ye, who was busy organizing the goods, upon hearing Jiang Xin’s words, understood her intention, quickly waved his hand:

"No need to bring me food; I already ate at home this morning, and I’m not hungry right now!"

"If you haven’t had breakfast, you should hurry and eat; I’ll take care of everything at the stall, don’t worry."

Jiang Xin nodded silently and then continued:

"Alright, you just watch over the stall here first."

"By noon, I’ll bring food back for you from the State-owned Restaurant."

"Just like yesterday, enjoy the employee meal as agreed."

Lin Ye didn’t object after hearing this.

After yesterday’s incident, he already got used to the consistent employee benefits Jiang Xin provided, and he even marveled in his heart at how great his boss was!

In all the years he had worked, it was his first time encountering such a good boss.
