Chapter 98

With the opening of the farm imminent, there were very few staff, and there was a severe shortage of service personnel and chefs.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, frowned, and asked Dazhuang, "Dazhuang, how did your village handle celebrations or banquets in the past?"

"Oh, there's an Uncle Wang in the village. Whenever there's a banquet or a wedding, he's the one who handles it," Dazhuang replied immediately.

"Now the farm is short of staff, especially service personnel. Dazhuang, come with me to the village and post a notice. I promised your father that if the farm is short of staff, we would prioritize people from your village," Lin Xiao said.

"Okay," Dazhuang nodded and said.

………………

"Uncle Wang." Lin Xiao arrived at the village entrance and saw Dazhuang's father, Wang Guoqiang, squatting at the village gate smoking.

"Oh, it's Little Lin," Wang Guoqiang took a puff of his cigarette, held it in his lungs for a moment, and then slowly exhaled.

"Dad," Dazhuang called out.

"Do you have something to talk about now?" Wang Guoqiang asked, curious, as Dazhuang had been helping Lin Xiao and was leaving early and returning late every day, and this was the first time he had come home at noon.

"It's like this. The farm has been built and is about to open, but it lacks service personnel and chefs. I want to go to the village first to see if anyone is interested in applying," Lin Xiao said.

"That's great, warmly welcome," Wang Guoqiang said excitedly. Everyone in the village knew that Dazhuang was helping Lin Xiao, and they had all inquired about it from Wang Guoqiang, who proudly told them that Dazhuang's salary was 5000 yuan per month.

After this news spread in the village, everyone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity through Wang Guoqiang, but he found it hard to speak up, fearing it might have a negative impact on his son.

Now that Lin Xiao had taken the initiative to speak, Wang Guoqiang was overjoyed and said, "No problem, I'll go and notify them right away."

Without waiting for Lin Xiao's response, Wang Guoqiang hurried to the village's broadcasting station to spread the news.

"Villagers, everyone, this is Wang Guoqiang. Now Boss Lin is coming to our village to recruit staff for the farm. Those who want to work at the farm, please gather at the square to sign up."

The announcement was repeated three times, and the entire Wangjia Village was immediately stirred up. Almost everyone who was free rushed to the square, whether to watch the commotion or to apply sincerely.

Lin Xiao, of course, heard the announcement as well. He called Dazhuang and told him to follow. Since Wang Guoqiang had already prepared the location, they just needed to go there.

When Lin Xiao arrived at the square, it was already bustling with noise, like a busy market.

Seeing Lin Xiao come, the sharp-eyed Wang Guoqiang quickly walked up, pulled Lin Xiao up the steps, and led him to a small platform. On the platform were a few chairs and a table, and Wang Guoqiang pushed Lin Xiao into a chair.

'Why does it feel like a wedding, and even a forced one?' Lin Xiao thought to himself.

"Everyone, this is a fortunate event for our village. You all know about the farm outside. The person sitting up there is Boss Lin. He has come to the village to find staff. If anyone is chosen, there's no need for me to say more," Wang Guoqiang said.

To Lin Xiao, this sounded very awkward. What did he mean by "who is chosen"? It made him sound like a landlord in the old days who could just take anyone he liked.

Unable to help it, Lin Xiao stood up and said, "Everyone, thank you for coming. The farm is about to open, and we are short of staff, so everyone has a chance."

"I have a few small requirements. The positions I am hiring for are service personnel and kitchen staff. There may be age requirements for service personnel, but no requirements for kitchen staff," Lin Xiao continued.

"What are the age requirements?" a middle-aged woman asked loudly.

"Service personnel may need to be under 25," Lin Xiao replied.

"Oh, then there's no hope," many people sighed.

"What about the benefits?" someone asked, voicing the concern of everyone.

"The minimum salary for service personnel is 3000 yuan, with bonuses based on performance. Kitchen staff are divided into three levels: head chefs earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per month, chefs earn 8,000 yuan, and kitchen helpers earn 4,000 yuan," Lin Xiao announced the salaries.

"Wow." The crowd was stunned by the salaries Lin Xiao offered, which were not just high but unprecedented in the small village.

"I will have someone come to conduct the interviews," Lin Xiao said, then picked up his phone and called Huang Tao.

"Boss, is something wrong in the village?" Huang Tao heard the noisy and chaotic sound on the phone and thought something had happened.

"No, they're just very enthusiastic. Come over now. You need to conduct the interviews, and those people will be under your jurisdiction in the future," Lin Xiao said.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up, Lin Xiao sat down and waited quietly for Huang Tao to arrive. He preferred to avoid such troublesome tasks. If even the interviews required the boss to be present, what kind of future was there?

Not long after, Huang Tao appeared in the distance, rushing over with a stack of papers in his hands.

"Phew, I'm exhausted," Huang Tao said, breathing heavily as he placed the stack of papers on the table.

Lin Xiao picked up a sheet of paper. It was a form, a personal information form.

'Huang Tao is well-prepared,' Lin Xiao thought.

"I won't stay here any longer. I'll leave it to you," Lin Xiao patted Huang Tao's shoulder and said.

"Okay, no problem," Huang Tao said.

………………

"Phew, finally out." Lin Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, still feeling a bit nervous.

Leaving Dazhuang to help, Lin Xiao squeezed out of the crowd. The square was packed with tourists and villagers, making it impossible to move.

Wang Guoqiang came out with Lin Xiao, but his expression was uncertain, and he seemed hesitant to speak.

Lin Xiao found it amusing and asked, "Uncle Wang, what's troubling you? Just say it."

"This." Wang Guoqiang scratched his head, his face turning red.

"Ha ha." Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh at Wang Guoqiang's expression.

"It's like this. There are some poor families in the village, so I was thinking..." Wang Guoqiang stammered.

"Uncle Wang, you're worried about the villagers, why be embarrassed?" Lin Xiao finally understood Wang Guoqiang's intention and said with a smile.

"I haven't taken any shortcuts before," Wang Guoqiang said, embarrassed.

"I understand. Uncle Wang, give the list to Dazhuang, and I'll have Huang Tao give them priority," Lin Xiao promised.

"Ha ha." Wang Guoqiang laughed foolishly, seeing how readily Lin Xiao had agreed.

"Uncle Wang, I have a question to ask you," Lin Xiao said.
