After taking Haoran’s pulse, Leon wrote out a prescription while casually asking, “Director Wang, does your cafeteria have any recruitment plans recently?” Haoran was a shrewd man and immediately understood.
“The other canteens aren’t short on people for the time being… but our canteen is short of a kitchen helper.” “Oh, what are the benefits for a kitchen helper?” Leon asked.
“Twenty-seven yuan and fifty cents a month.” There was a difference between a kitchen helper and a kitchen apprentice.
Kitchen helpers were paid at the rate of a first-level worker, but there was no room for promotion.
Their salary was basically capped at 27.50 yuan.
Apprentices in the canteen earned even less.
Someone like Ma Hua only received eighteen yuan.
However, once an apprentice became a full-fledged chef, the salary would rise dramatically.
Sha Zhu, an eighth-level cook, already earned 37.5 yuan.
Sha Zhu’s father, a fourth-level cook, earned 68.3 yuan.
The ranking system for cooks and doctors was opposite.
The highest rank for a cook was level one, while the highest rank for medical staff was level eight.
Leon currently enjoyed level-six treatment, with a salary of 77.85 yuan.
With the special talent subsidy added, he received 88.85 yuan a month.
Fortunately, Meldie was one of his own and had not revealed his salary.
Otherwise, there would have been a lot of trouble.
After all, it was natural for people to feel resentful when a young man in his early twenties earned such a high salary.
“Dr.
Cole, do you have someone who wants to enter the factory?” Haoran asked curiously.
“A friend asked me to inquire.” Leon handed him the prescription.
“Take the medicine three times a day on time.
Abstain from sexual activity for a week.
After a week… it would still be best to restrain yourself.” “Thank you, Dr.
Cole.
Thank you, Dr.
Cole.” Haoran was overjoyed.
He patted his chest and said, “Dr.
Cole, if your friend wants to come to the factory, just let me know anytime.
I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can still make decisions about the canteen.” “All right, I’ll ask him later.” Leon smiled and shook hands with him.
This was the advantage of being a leader.
Whether or not there was a shortage of people was ultimately up to Haoran.
As long as it was not too excessive, basically no one would care.
Of course, Leon could also bring the person into the infirmary.
But without a diploma, one could not become a full-time employee in the clinic.
They could not simply let any high school graduate become a doctor, right?
That would be ridiculous.
However, there was a workaround: first become a full-time employee in the factory, then transfer to the clinic to help out.
However, Leon was used to a leisurely life and did not want to bring anyone in to disturb him, even if that person was Qin Huairu.
Realizing that he had not gone fishing yet, Leon entered his ring.
“You have obtained one hundred jin of beef.” “You have obtained one hundred jin of thirteen-spice seasoning.” “You have obtained a set of non-stick pans.” … Leon left the island with a pained expression.
His luck had been truly poor lately.
It had been almost entirely food.
A couple of days ago, he had gotten piles of fruit, bananas, and grapes.
Today, he got beef, thirteen-spice seasoning… He was not a chef, so what did he need all this stuff for?
After cursing his bad luck under his breath, the end-of-work bell rang.
He tidied up a little, then rode his bicycle home.
He had already finished all the furniture, and the house had now entered the bathroom construction stage.
It would be completed in another couple of days.
As Leon lay in the courtyard, pondering what to eat for dinner, a commotion suddenly broke out in the central courtyard.
He immediately picked up a bunch of grapes, stood up, and went out to see what was happening.
He used to not understand why people liked joining in the excitement.
But after getting used to this era without phones or the internet, he realized that watching commotions was probably one of the few forms of entertainment most people had.
Central courtyard.
Slap, slap, slap!
Jia Dongxu was being slapped across the face by two burly men, while Jia Zhangshi was pinned to the ground by several fierce women and screaming wildly.
“Murder!
Murder!” “You still dare shout?” The women, who appeared to be from the countryside, were not going to listen to Jia Zhangshi’s nonsense.
They slapped her hard across the face several times, and Jia Zhangshi immediately backed down.
Qin Huairu was crying her eyes out, but when she saw Leon eating grapes while watching the commotion, her face somehow turned red.
“Jia Dongxu, let me tell you, we know all about the shady things you’ve done.
Our girl isn’t someone you can bully!” The speaker was Qin Huairu’s father, Qin Shan.
Although he was over fifty years old, he still looked strong and vigorous.
“What are you doing!?
Who gave you permission to hit people!?” Yi Zhonghai, who had just come in from outside, shouted sternly.
Qin Shan and the others were farmers after all, and they were genuinely frightened by Yi Zhonghai’s shout.
“Who are you?” Qin Huairu’s elder brother, Qin Jianshe, mustered his courage and asked.
“I’m the senior elder of this courtyard,” Yi Zhonghai said, helping Jia Dongxu up and glaring at them.
“An elder?” Qin Jianshe and the others looked at one another in confusion.
Could it be that he was some kind of official in the courtyard?
“I’m telling you, this is a family matter.
Don’t worry about whether he’s the First Uncle or the Second Uncle.
As the saying goes, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes, let alone someone like him who’s nobody.
What are you afraid of?” Leon said with a smile.
“Yeah, what are we afraid of?” Qin Jianshe suddenly understood and slapped Jia Dongxu twice more.
“Leon…!” Yi Zhonghai almost ground his teeth to powder.
“You little beast, you’ll die a horrible death!” Jia Zhangshi shouted fiercely.
“Old Jia, you died such a terrible death!” Leon shouted with a mournful expression.
“Hahaha!” Many onlookers laughed.
Qin Huairu could not help chuckling.
She gave Leon a reproachful look before lowering her head.
“Huairu, who is this young man?” Qin Shan asked in a low voice.
“He’s a doctor at the steel rolling mill, a medical university graduate.
I heard he currently receives level-six treatment, and his monthly salary is 77.85 yuan…” Qin Huairu said with a hint of pride, though she did not know why.
“How much!?” Qin Shan’s eyes widened.
Good heavens, seventy-seven yuan and eighty-five cents?
This young man was probably only in his early twenties, right?
His monthly salary was enough for Qin Shan’s entire family to dig in the dirt for a whole year.
And he was a college graduate too… That was incredible.
“What exactly do you want!?” Jia Dongxu roared, startling everyone.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was ferocious, making him look somewhat frightening.
“Are you calling me Grandpa?
You nearly made me drop my grapes.” Leon complained.
Qin Shan, who had just been frightened, suddenly regained his confidence, and Qin Jianshe slapped Jia Dongxu hard again.
“Leon, stop causing trouble.” Yi Zhonghai felt a headache coming on.
This kid was truly difficult to deal with.
He seemed to be joking around, but in reality, he was backing Qin Huairu’s family.
“None of your business.” Leon showed Yi Zhonghai absolutely no respect.
“Jia Dongxu, let me tell you this.
However you married Huairu into your family, that’s exactly how you’ll send her back.
Otherwise, we’ll come to Beijing every so often and beat you up again,” Qin Jianshe said, spitting at him.
“All right, I’ll send her back right away…” Jia Dongxu said through gritted teeth.
He hated Qin Huairu so much now that he could not wait to get rid of this jinx.
“Hey, you big oaf, are you out of your mind?” Leon shouted at Qin Jianshe.
“I’m not a big oaf,” Qin Jianshe said angrily.
“If you’re not a big oaf, why would you ask him to send Qin Huairu back?” Leon lit a cigarette, then handed one to Yan Bugui before laughing.
“Qin Huairu finally came to the city.
Why would she want to go back to the countryside?” “I… I don’t have city household registration.” Qin Huairu lowered her head, her eyes red.
She truly felt inferior in front of Leon.
Leon always spoke so casually about everything, yet it seemed as if there was nothing he could not accomplish.
