The store manager had a monthly salary of 5 taels of silver. If her performance was good that month, she would get a bonus. The salary was even more than what her boss earned.

If she continued to work with them, she would not have to worry about the money for her father-in-law’s medicine and the money for her son to go to the academy.

Although her mother-in-law had some opinions about this matter, the head of the house was on her side this time.

He even asked her mother-in-law to take over most of the housework at home.

He said that he supported her working.

Although she had to pay 3 taels of silver to her mother-in-law every month, she could earn at least 5 taels a month by working as the manager of the shop at the dock.

Even if she gave 3 taels to her mother-in-law, she could still save 2 taels. It wouldn’t be long before she could save up a sum of money.

This way, even if Xiaowen wanted to take the imperial examination or do something else in the future, she would be able to support him.

Most importantly, she liked to work at Liu Shi’s Eatery. Here, she discovered her value.

The boss was right. As long as a woman worked hard, she could support her family like a man.

Be it the boss or Madam w.a.n.g, they were both people she could learn from.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“Alright.. Our new shop will open in five days. At that time, Aunt Juanzi, you will be the manager of the new shop.”

“Th-thankyou, boss!” Li Juanzi quickly stood up and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and waved at Li Juanzi.

“Don’t be so polite. You deserve all of this. Aunt w.a.n.g mentioned your performance to me. With your ability, it’s not a problem for you to be a store manager. Now that the new shop has opened, of course 1 consider you first.” “Thank you, boss!” Juanzi thanked her again.

When she heard Lin Xiaoyue mention Aunt w.a.n.g and say good things about her, she even gave Aunt w.a.n.g a grateful look.

Aunt w.a.n.g smiled at Li Juanzi, indicating that she was welcome.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Aunt w.a.n.g.

“When Aunt Juanzi goes to the new shop, we have to get someone to fill her shoes.”

She then looked at Li Juanzi.

“We have to hire more people to the dock too.”

Aunt w.a.n.g and Li Juanzi nodded.

“It’s almost winter. The night market is about to be canceled. There was no need for the shop to be open for so long.”

“Also, it’s hard if there’s only one person in the shop, especially when the person had to go to the backyard to do something or when they need to go to the toilet.”

Aunt w.a.n.g and Li Juanzi nodded.

That was indeed the case. If they were to look after the shop alone, they would have to run to the toilet.

“Starting from tomorrow, 1’11 change the working hours of the employees in the store. The working hours of the store manager are from 7:00 to 10:45. The shop a.s.sistant’s working hours are from 7:45 to 12:00. In addition, considering the longer working hours of the shop a.s.sistants, the monthly salary is 3 taels.”

After this change in time, the employees would be arriving an hour earlier for the morning shift and getting off work an hour earlier. The night shift workers would arrive and get off work an hour later. She could guarantee that there would be two people in the shop during the morning, noon, and evening peak hours.

“This arrangement is good! There will be two people in the shop most of the time!” Aunt w.a.n.g immediately agreed.

Juanzi nodded.

“If one person has something to do and leaves, there will be someone watching over the shop. You can relax.” Moreover, it would be more lively if there were more people in the shop.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at the two of them.

“Since both of you have agreed, we can start the recruitment tomorrow. Bring the new hire to the shop for practice. When the new shop opens, Aunt Juanzi, you can bring the people you choose to the new shop.”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Aunt w.a.n.g again.

“Aunt w.a.n.g, you should also teach Aunt Juanzi what the store manager needs to do, such as bookkeeping and stock checking. When she goes to the new shop, she will be in charge of these things.”

“Yes.” Aunt w.a.n.g immediately said. Then, she smiled and looked at Li Juanzi.

Juanzi smiled at Aunt w.a.n.g, her eyes full of grat.i.tude.

Next, they started a discussion about the requirements for hiring shop a.s.sistants.

“3 taels of silver is not low, so the requirements can be raised appropriately.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

“By the way, shop a.s.sistants don’t always work as shop a.s.sistants. For those who are hardworking and capable, they could be promoted after pa.s.sing the a.s.sessment.”

“For example, like Aunt Juanzi, she will be sent to the new shop as the manager and be in charge of a shop alone.”

Everyone looked at Li Juanzi, who smiled shyly..
