Chapter 336 Hiring someone else makes them an assistant; she's just a handyman here.
Upon hearing that he would receive a salary, Lin Ping asked with delight, "How much?"
"Fifty."
Lin Ping: "..."
"That's too little! Didn't you get a hundred when you worked at the bookstore? I only got half of that."
"No way, you're so stingy, no wonder you're all alone."
"No way, how could you even cheat your own brother? You're just using me as cheap labor."
The little mouth started grumbling.
Lin Yuyao simply said, "You're a temporary worker, I'm a permanent employee. How can we be the same?"
"But you can't cut it in half."
Lin Ping chuckled obsequiously, "Give me a little more, and I'll work hard for you."
Look at him like this...
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a 20% discount, how about 80?"
He was still twenty yuan short, but he had no choice in hiring temporary workers.
Seeing her idly drinking tea, I figured she probably didn't have anything to do.
"Eighty it is."
They just happened to need a handyman to run errands, and here he is.
To find a horse while riding a donkey, you first need to have a donkey before you can slowly look for a horse.
Lin Yuyao told him to put his luggage aside and then explained to him the things he needed to do each day.
He has to come early every day to wipe the tables, sweep the floor, take out the trash, and clean the toilets.
Lin Ping's face darkened as he listened. "I'd accept sweeping the floor and wiping the table if you asked me to, but why do I have to clean the toilet too?"
"You're the handyman, if you don't sweep, am I supposed to? I'm the boss."
He thought it was just the two of them, and thinking about it now, that makes sense.
Who makes their boss clean toilets?
At home, he had also cleaned his own family's latrine. Since there were no outsiders around, he could just wash it.
At this moment, Lin Yuyao reminded him, "You are also responsible for buying food. It's almost time. Take out the trash and go downstairs to the restaurant to order food for three people."
She only told the boss that she needed to prepare for two people each day, but now that there's an extra person, she has to let him know.
Lin Ping: "Why are there three people?"
“I have a colleague who is out running errands right now, she will be back in a little while.”
"Huh? Are there two of you?"
"Yes, now there are three of us including you."
"Who is it?"
"You wouldn't know even if I told you, so get to work."
Is it a man or a woman?
"Female."
Another older sister? No problem.
When Song Qin returned, she found a young man sweeping the floor.
"Huh? This is..." It looks familiar.
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "He's a handyman I hired."
"Huh? Why hire a boy? Can he handle it?"
"If he can do it, fire him; if he can't, fire him."
Lin Ping: "..."
"Hey, you've been ordering me around all day."
Looking up and seeing his face, Song Qin remembered who he was; she had seen him once before at Lin Yuyao's wedding.
"Your brother?"
"Yes, it's the holidays, so let him come and do a summer job for a month. We'll keep him here while we look for a more suitable assistant."
Song Qin smiled and said, "That's great."
Lin Ping, however, had some doubts.
Are they hiring general laborers or assistants?
Song Qin stepped forward and said, "My name is Song Qin. You and your sister can both call me Sister Song. What do you want to say?"
"Lin Ping." Lin Ping gave a big smile.
Song Qin smiled and said, "Okay, Lin Ping."
Lin Yuyao ordered him to bring up the food, then sat down and asked about Song Qin's contact with someone's agent that day.
"Sister Song, did it go smoothly?"
“No problem, they also desperately need exposure. She’s not very famous, so she can’t get on top magazines, and she can only start with smaller ones.”
Their magazines faced the same difficulties; they couldn't get appointments with famous celebrities, so they had to find hidden gems and start with unknown stars.
For someone like Lin Yuyao, knowing who will become popular in the future is a natural advantage.
What they didn't know was that this magazine would one day become a legend in the industry.
It's really weird; whoever gets involved with it will become angry.
"how's the price?"
“I told them that your novel would be serialized in a magazine, and I talked to them about the development prospects of our magazine. They agreed to publish it for free.”
Lin Yuyao was taken aback, "Free?"
Well-known magazines are popular with celebrities, and even if it's free, people have to queue up to get a spot.
Their magazine is not famous yet, so it seems that the company has recognized their potential for growth.
“That’s good, but they want to be involved in how we write it. They want our magazine cover to feature photos of celebrities.”
"So, the main focus is on promoting her?"
"Yes."
This is a huge gamble for both sides.
Lin Yuyao knew that the artist they had chosen was worthwhile.
This will be a win-win deal.
"Okay, it's settled then. As long as it's possible, we'll accept any requests as long as they're not too unreasonable."
"Okay, that's what I think too."
After the agreement was reached, Song Qin was responsible for contacting the other party and obtaining the relevant information, while Lin Yuyao was responsible for compiling it.
The two work together.
However, with this arrangement, Song Qin will inevitably have to travel frequently for work in the future.
Lin Yuyao said, "Sister Song, when you have some free time, learn to drive. It will be more convenient that way."
Policies regarding driver's license examinations have been introduced, and driving schools now exist.
In other words, after registering for a driver's license, they will be arranged to go to a driving school to learn, and only after passing the test will they be issued a driver's license.
"The car wasn't cheap."
Cars were indeed expensive at that time, extremely so.
If you're going to drive it out to do business, it can't be too bad.
Lin Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "If our magazine is successful, we'll have money to buy a car. I'll definitely buy a company car belonging to the magazine."
Song Qin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll learn it when I have time."
As they were talking, Lin Ping returned carrying food for three people. He said to Lin Yuyao, "The boss said he wouldn't pay, that he'd put it on the tab, but is that true?"
"Yes, I've already arranged with the owner to put the bill on my tab, and I'll settle it once a week."
Lin Yuyao looked at him and saw that the young man was treating her well, ordering a large bowl of braised pork.
After get off work, Lin Yuyao took Lin Ping back to her place and let him stay upstairs.
Lin Ping: "Sis, what will you do if I move in? Are you living downstairs with your husband now?"
Lin Yuyao: "..." Isn't that obvious? Is he stupid?
Are you staying here or not?
"Yes, of course I'll stay here. But it's so hot here, my goodness, much hotter than downstairs."
"Put your things away and come downstairs with me to get the fan."
"There's a fan? That's good."
He followed Lin Yuyao downstairs, then glanced across the street. "Is no one there?"
"No."
"Isn't that your house too? How about I live across the street?"
"No way," Lin Yuyao refused outright.
Although my cousin said she didn't want to see the house and asked Fu Huaiyi to help her deal with it.
But after all, it's her house, and they won't let anyone live there without her permission.
When Lin Yuyao's parents came to stay last time, they had already told her.
Her family members would come to stay at other people's houses for free every few days, which was never a good thing.
