Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 165 Chen Yuzhu

Xia Shiyu looked up at her mother curiously, "What's going on, Mom? You've found someone, but who is it?"

"Sigh, you should know this person too. She's the daughter of the cousin's sister-in-law of your aunt Wang Xia's cousin."

Xia Shiyu was completely confused by these titles; what did they all mean? "Wait, wait, Mom, just say the name."

Yu Juan shook her head and explained to her, "Oh dear, you young people just don't understand these terms of address. Her name is Chen Yuzhu, and she's a recent college graduate."

Xia Shiyu was still completely bewildered; she didn't recognize this person at all.

"I don't know her, Mom. And why would a recent college graduate want to stay in the village as a customer service representative? She has to find a job or take the civil service exam, graduate school exam, or civil service exam."

Yu Juan shook her head. "No, Yu Zhu is quite successful. She's a writer and can earn money at home without having to go out to work."

"Wow, that's really impressive." Xia Shiyu understood. Writing at home meant having more free time, so being a customer service representative wasn't a bad idea.

"Okay, I'll do another interview later to confirm."

Although it feels great, I still need to do a little interview, otherwise it wouldn't be good if I slack off or make any mistakes during the work.

Yu Juan nodded, "No problem, she can come right now."

"Coming now? Isn't it too early?" Xia Shiyu thought that at least some buffer time should be given.

Yu Juan waved her hand, "Oh, we're all from the same village, what's the big deal? Just come over."

Xia Shiyu didn't refuse after hearing this.

After Yu Juan finished speaking, she made a phone call. "Hey, Mengmei, is your Yuzhu busy right now? If she's not busy, just tell her to come over for an interview now. My Xiaoyu still needs to ask a few questions, but don't worry, it won't be difficult. Okay, okay, just have her come over."

After hearing his mother finish the phone call, Xia Shiyu thought for a moment and then went to the village entrance to print out two copies of the contract.

Although her current organization is just a makeshift setup and not a formal unit, there are still necessary contracts and agreements in place, which puts both parties at ease.

A little while after she returned from printing the contract, she saw a girl with short hair and black-rimmed glasses arrive at her doorstep.

She hesitated for a moment before standing in front of the courtyard. She gently knocked on the gate, and when she saw who was inside, she softly called out, "Hello, Auntie."

Yu Juan was delighted to see her and came over. "Yu Zhu is here! Come on, sit down! Oh, there's some fruit here, you can have some."

Chen Yuzhu was still a little reserved. "It's alright, Auntie, you can go ahead and do your work."

After she sat down, she looked at Xia Shiyu in front of her.

Xia Shiyu smiled at her, and she smiled shyly back.

Looking at her, Xia Shiyu thought to himself that she seemed to be a socially awkward person.

"Hello, I'm Xia Shiyu, your boss. Actually, your education and age are already very good for the customer service position. It's just that I see you're a bit shy. Customer service will be very busy, and sometimes there will be some unpleasant things. Can you handle that?"

After a brief greeting, Xia Shiyu raised the most crucial question.

Actually, being a customer service representative is fine in other aspects, but the main thing is to keep your emotions stable. With so many buyers, there will always be some who are short-tempered. If you get controlled by your emotions and can't handle things well, that won't be good.

"It's okay. I'm just naturally introverted, but I can handle pressure quite well. Even when I write novels, there are some negative reviews and people criticize me, but I don't think it matters."

Xia Shiyu nodded, quite satisfied with the answer.

Then she repeated the job requirements, "For this position, we don't provide social insurance and housing fund. As you know, the salary is a little over 3000 yuan. The working hours are also quite long, from about 8 am to 8 pm. There is a two-hour break at noon and a one-hour dinner break. You may have to be online most of the time, but you can do your own things when there are no orders."

Chen Yuzhu nodded after listening, indicating that she could accept it.

A salary of over 3000 yuan is not low for her. Although she told her family that she had saved some money through writing, and the villagers praised her for being so capable that she could earn money while sitting at home.

But only she knows the truth. She is not a gifted writer. After writing for two or three years, she only earns three or four thousand yuan a month. Moreover, her income is not always stable because she has to take a break for one or two months after finishing a book, during which she has no income.

Furthermore, writing novels doesn't offer the five social insurances and one housing fund, so she has to pay for social security herself. However, this means she can't save much money at all. Her father works outside, and her mother farms at home, so the pressure of supporting her in old age is quite high. Therefore, she plans to find a job.

Xia Shiyu is very satisfied with this job, as she can work right here in the village and doesn't have to go to the city.

Moreover, this way she could earn more than 6000 yuan a month, including room and board. She was quite satisfied with the food, as she knew that Xia Shiyu's family's cuisine was delicious, so she could eat good food often.

"Alright, since there are no problems, let's sign the contract."

Xia Shiyu handed the contract to Chen Yuzhu, and the two signed it.

After signing the contract, Xia Shiyu happily grabbed Chen Yuzhu's hand and said, "Congratulations on joining us. I hope we can work together happily from now on."

Chen Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Boss Xia."

Xia Shiyu was very happy, as she could finally delegate the customer service work.

She said to Chen Yuzhu, "The computer is in that room over there, and there's WIFI too. Then there's a separate room with a simple table and bed. You can sleep in there if you're tired."

"Right now, the main tasks are processing orders and replying to messages. There aren't many orders right now, but there are more messages, though you don't need to reply to every single one."

She knew that on large platforms, customer service representatives often had to reply to customer messages, but since she was running a small business, she didn't need to reply to everyone. After all, when there were no vegetables available, no matter how many messages people sent, she couldn't conjure up vegetables for them.

"Okay, I understand." Chen Yuzhu was very dedicated to this job and quite satisfied with the work environment, so she started working immediately after the interview.

Xia Shiyu stood beside her and watched her tinker with the computer for a while. Feeling that there were no problems, he nodded and left, reassured Chen Yuzhu about the work.

When it was noon, Yu Juan called her out for lunch, "Yuzhu, it's time to come out and eat."

"Okay, Auntie, I'm coming right now."

Chen Yuzhu happily left her seat and came over.
