Chapter 143 Do I have to pay my own salary?
“I got divorced last year, and now I live with my mother. I desperately need this job, please.” As she spoke, Zheng Fanghua was about to bow.
Meilan quickly stopped her: "You don't need to do that. We won't stop you from the interview just because you have a child."
Mo Jingyu nodded.
Before Mei Lan asked the question, Mo Jingyu had already asked 001 in her mind.
Upon learning that everything Zheng Fanghua said was true—that her husband had cheated on her last year and she had discovered it—Zheng Fanghua, not one to drag things out, immediately filed for divorce.
The man had no objections. Over the years, Zheng Fanghua had aged considerably for the sake of her family, and the man disliked her for being a "yellow-faced woman." This divorce suited his wishes perfectly.
The man voluntarily relinquished custody of the child because another woman had already given birth to one for him.
Mo Jingyu felt utterly disgusted by this kind of scumbag.
Later, Zheng Fanghua went for job interviews, but every company rejected her on the grounds that her child was still too young.
Mo Jingyu clicked her tongue in disbelief. This was sexism.
Every company promotes gender equality, but problems are exposed during interviews: when interviewing men, they ask about their education, but when interviewing women, they immediately ask "Do you have a boyfriend, are you married, do you have children?" using these reasons to treat men and women differently.
Mo Jingyu asked, "Sister Zheng, may I call you that?" Zheng Fanghua nodded.
"We asked you how old your child is because we wanted to see if you could bring your child to the company."
"Our company has a special play area for children. If your child is of the right age, you can bring them to the company."
Mo Jingyu patiently explained, "If they were even younger, we would find someone to take care of them."
Zheng Fanghua couldn't believe what she was hearing: "You...you mean, I can bring my child to work?"
“Yes, I have children too, and I know how hard it is for mothers,” Mo Jingyu said with a smile.
Melanie added, "We have a special area for children, but it's for younger children. We haven't found suitable caregivers yet, which is why I asked you earlier."
Zheng Fanghua was somewhat excited. She thought to herself, "There are companies like this?"
Some companies had similar policies before, but they were all for full-time employees, and it was impossible for someone like her who did cleaning to enjoy them.
Last night, she was just browsing online when she stumbled upon a job posting. Although the salary was a few hundred less, she desperately needed a job, so she decided to give it a try. She never expected to receive such a pleasant surprise.
Mo Jingyu said, "We understand your situation. If possible, we hope you can start work tomorrow."
Zheng Fanghua was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly when she heard Mo Jingyu's words: "Yes, yes! I can start working right now."
Mo Jingyu smiled and said, "No need to rush. I wonder how far it is from here to your home?"
Zheng Fanghua quickly replied, "It's okay, I won't be late."
“You don’t need to be so nervous. Since we’ve decided to hire you, we won’t go back on our word,” Mo Jingyu said gently.
Meilan nodded in agreement: "What we mean is, if you find it inconvenient to travel back and forth from home, you can bring your child to stay at the company; we have employee dormitories."
Before she could even process the previous surprise, an even bigger one arrived. Zheng Fanghua was momentarily stunned and began to wonder if there was something wrong with the company.
Seeing her suspicious expression, Mo Jingyu chuckled and said, "You don't need to worry that we're scammers. Since you've come for an interview, you should know that my company has a certain reputation online."
Zheng Fanghua was a little embarrassed and apologized, "I...I just..."
“Alright, if you decide to stay at the company, you can go back and pack today. Our company has a five-day work week with two days off. We start work at nine in the morning and finish at five in the evening,” Mo Jingyu said.
Zheng Fanghua stood up and bowed to the two of them: "Thank you, bosses."
"Ah."
Zheng Fanghua happily went home and told her mother the news.
Zheng's mother was also happy for her daughter, thinking that if her daughter hadn't married that scoundrel, she would have had a better life.
"I'll make some dumplings; you can take them with you tomorrow."
Company
An Xiaoxiao brought in the second interviewee, an elderly man.
Meilan said, "Hello, please introduce yourself."
The old man nodded: "My name is Ouyang Ping, I'm 60 years old, and I used to be a soldier. You can definitely hire me as your security guard." The old man seemed very confident.
Mei Lan observed Ouyang Ping's energy and spirit; it was indeed impressive, but he was a bit on his age. Their company would likely be predominantly female in the future, which...
Mo Jingyu's focus, however, was different. She asked in her mind: "[Linglingyao, is he Ouyang Zhenhua's father?]"
You guessed right.
Mo Jingyu then asked, "Do you know Officer Ouyang Zhenhua?"
"Hey, little girl, you know my son! What a coincidence!"
“When I went to report the case before, Officer Ouyang received me.”
Mo Jingyu then asked curiously, "At your age, why are you thinking of applying for a security guard position?" Could it be that Officer Ouyang is an unfilial son?
Ouyang Ping replied, "I'm just idling at home anyway. I feel restless if I don't use all my skills."
Mei Lan thought to herself: We're interviewing security guards, not thugs.
So he said, "Senior Ouyang, our security guards work in 24-hour shifts. Although there are shift changes, it's still quite tiring."
"Hey, don't underestimate this old man. There aren't many people who can beat me these days."
At this moment, An Xiaoxiao brought the third interviewee, who happened to be there to interview for a security guard position. He was a young man.
The young man introduced himself confidently: "My name is Shi Fan, I'm 24 years old, I've won the provincial youth taekwondo championship, and I can stay up all night!"
Meilan asked, "You just graduated, why are you thinking of interviewing for a security guard position?"
"This saves us 20 years of detours. I also see that there are five social insurances and one housing fund, accommodation is provided, and the salary is quite high."

Why didn't she think of this way to avoid taking twenty years of detours?
Ouyang Ping suggested, "That's perfect. Let's have a go and see what you think."
Mo Jingyu thought it was feasible.
Shi Fan looked completely bewildered: ?
In the backyard, Jiang Yan'an stood next to Mo Jingyu and shouted, "3! 2! 1! Go!"
Shi Fan said, "Sir, I'll give you a handicap."
"No need! I can't beat a little kid like you, so I won't do it."
After hearing Ouyang Ping's words, Shi Fan began to spar with him normally.
Jiang Yan'an cheered for the two of them like a cheerleader.
In the end, the old man won. Shi Fan said admiringly, "Grandpa, you're amazing! What kind of kung fu did you learn before?"
"I learned it in the army."
Shi Fan thought to himself: So he's a soldier!
Back in the conference room, Mo Jingyu asked, "Uncle Ouyang, have you told Officer Ouyang about your interview?"
Ouyang Ping snorted: "Why bother talking to that brat! I'll make my own decisions."
Mo Jingyu thought that Officer Ouyang would probably come to present her with a banner in a few days, and then she would know.
"Okay, can you start work tomorrow?"
"Can I be two days later? I have some things to do at school," Shi Fan said.
Mo Jingyu nodded in agreement.
Ouyang Ping, on the other hand, could be hired directly.
"Okay, we work five days on and two days off. The company has dormitories and a kitchen for you to use. There is no canteen yet."
After the two left, only one person remained for the receptionist interview that morning. After confirming that the last interviewee was satisfactory, 001 sent him back to prepare for onboarding.
Qi Yun'er and Jiang Yan'an came out of the cubicle.
Qi Yun'er said, "You just tell people the results directly after you interview them, it's not exciting."
"What I hate most is the phrase 'wait for notification'."
Jiang Yan'an chimed in, "My dad's company likes to say that when they interview people. That's why I hate it too."
Jiang's words: His reputation has been completely ruined by his son.
Meilan said, "I ordered takeout for lunch, so please make do with what you have."
"Is no one interviewing chefs?"
Meilan shook her head.
Qi Yun'er suggested, "Why don't you go yourself?"
"Mom, are you going to cook? I want to eat!"
Mo Jingyu: "..."
"Do I pay myself two salaries?"
