Chapter 558: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
"You're hired."
Ma Lu said to the white-bearded old boxer from Yangjiagou, and then said to Cao Youyi, "Give Li Zhengwei a recommendation bonus of ten yuan."
Upon hearing this, Cao Youyi immediately took out ten silver coins from her body and handed them to Li Zhengwei.
Li Zhengwei was overjoyed, took the money and praised it.
“Rewards and punishments are clear, and you do what you say, yes, I like it!”
Malu continued to read other people's answer sheets. The woman in the silver-grey jacquard satin skirt wrote four pages, which was very detailed. However, she still gave some general development suggestions that were suitable for ordinary schools.
In addition, she also proposed some training plans for teachers. Ma Lu looked at her resume and found that she had been a teacher in other Talisman schools for a period of time. No wonder she was so experienced.
"To be determined."
After Malu finished speaking, he saw that the pen of the fat man wearing a blue vest was almost filled with sparks, like a primary school student who was catching up on homework the night before school started.
So he bypassed him first and walked towards the two people at the back door.
The two of them had put out the cigarettes in their hands and stood up straight.
"Qi Baichuan, Zhou Zuolin." Ma Lu looked at the two of them.
"Principal Ma," Qi Baichuan immediately extended his hands enthusiastically, "I have known you for a long time. I am Qi Baichuan, a graduate of our Houde class of 1984."
"I am not a graduate of Houde, but my father also studied at Houde, graduating from the 1961 class."
Zhou Zuolin also followed Qi Baichuan's example and shook hands with Malu, but his posture was a bit stiff, as if he had gone to the village to steal chickens in the middle of the night.
"Were you checking the answer just now?" Malu asked curiously.
Zhou Zuolin looked a little embarrassed, but Qi Baichuan still smiled.
"Principal Ma, your examination questions are very high-level, which reflects the foresight of a leader. I feel that my own talents alone are not enough to solve problems of this level, so I invited Brother Zuolin to work together."
"Oh, is that so? What's the result of your discussion?"
Qi Baichuan handed over a piece of paper respectfully, and Ma Lu took it and looked at it. There were only a few hundred words on it, but the content was quite interesting.
He read all the answers on the paper, then looked up at Zhou Zuolin and Qi Baichuan, "Which one of you came up with this?"
"It's me..." As soon as Zhou Zuolin opened his mouth, Qi Baichuan answered, "Yes, we thought about it together."
"I have an additional question specifically for you," Ma Lu said to Qi Baichuan, "How did you know Zhou Zuolin could help you solve the problem?"
Before Qi Baichuan spoke, Ma Lu added, "Answer me honestly, this affects whether the school wants to hire you."
Qi Baichuan said, "When we introduced each other, Brother Zuolin said that he had previously been responsible for the compilation of the "Encyclopedia of Modern Talismans" at Jisi Bookstore. I guess he should be very familiar with Talismans. In addition..."
"in addition?"
"In addition, he is also easy to talk to and has a personality that is not very good at rejecting others."
From Ma Lu's previous hiring of Li Zhengwei, Qi Baichuan also roughly got a feel for some of the new leader's behavior.
Unlike the original principal Cao Jinhua, this one obviously values ability more than moral character, and he seems to be a smart person at first glance.
When dealing with smart people, it's best not to act smart, like Xu Shojing before, so Qi Baichuan chose to tell the truth.
"You're pretty good at reading people," Ma Lu said, "What did you do before?"
"Oh, I am the safety specialist of Kanghua Life Insurance Department."
"What?"
"I sell insurance. Kanghua has some life and property insurance specifically for Talisman Masters. I will recommend these insurances to Talisman Masters. Every time one is sold, Kanghua will give me a portion of the commission."
Qi Baichuan puffed up his chest and said, "I once became the national sales champion."
"Hey!"
Before Malu could say anything, the fat man who was busy writing at the side shouted first. He dropped the pen in his hand, rushed to Qi Baichuan, grabbed his collar and said menacingly.
"Pay me back! Give me back the money I paid for the insurance!"
The scene in front of them caught many people off guard. The one who reacted the fastest was the woman wearing a silver-grey jacquard satin skirt, who ran over with small steps.
Malu thought she was here to break up the fight, but who knew that she went up and scratched Qi Baichuan's face, cursing in her mouth.
"What a liar! What a liar! He even defrauded me of the money I saved by working as an outhouse!"
Malu said to Li Zhengwei, who was eating melon with gusto, "Don't look at it, let's separate them first."
"Okay." Li Zhengwei, who had collected the money, was very happy. He went up and pulled the woman in the silver-gray jacquard satin skirt off Qi Baichuan like a chicken, and then pulled the fat man in a blue vest.
He wasn't particularly tall, but his arms were surprisingly strong, and even a fat man could be easily pulled aside by him.
Looking at Qi Baichuan, whose cheeks were disfigured and whose clothes were torn, and the fat man in a jacquard satin skirt who was staring angrily, with his chest rising and falling freely, Ma Ludao.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Qi Baichuan drooped his face and said with a wry smile, "I didn't want to either. Who would have known that Kanghua's big boss suddenly ran out of the country with the money, and then all the insurances could no longer be paid."
Malu originally wanted to ask Qi Baichuan why he left a good job as an insurance salesman instead of becoming a teacher, but now he understands.
There was a thunderstorm in Kanghua, and the boss was preparing to return to China next week. The victims like the jacquard satin tube skirt and the fat man could not find the mastermind, so they could only target Qi Baichuan, the salesman.
Besides, Qi Baichuan is a gold medal salesman, so there are probably more victims who come to him to ask for compensation.
His clients are all talisman masters. If someone really gets angry, Qi Baichuan will not only be beaten, but his life may also be lost.
No wonder he came to Houde to be a teacher. He must have noticed Houde's decline and desolation and wanted to avoid the limelight.
But he didn't expect to meet a victim when applying for a job.
Malu asked the fat man in the blue vest and the jacquard satin skirt again, and learned that the former bought 900 yuan of insurance in Kanghua, while the latter actually bought up to 7,500 yuan of insurance in total.
Malu was also shocked when he heard this number. After that, he learned from Qi Baichuan that Kanghua has many types of insurance. For example, the fat man mainly bought education insurance for future children.
Although this guy is still single, Malu doesn't know why he is so anxious. He hasn't even started his marriage, but he has already considered the matter of children.
Maybe this is foresight.
In short, according to the insurance, if the fat man has a child in the future, he can get 300 yuan of education fund from Kanghua every year after he starts school. Until he finishes junior high school, he can get back about 2,400 yuan, which is really quite profitable, provided that Kanghua is still there.
The jacquard satin skirt is even worse. She bought a stored value annuity insurance, which will be returned annually after ten years. The annual interest rate is 29%. The jacquard satin skirt was attracted by this rate of return and threw all her savings into it.
She even sold the gold jewelry and bags given to her by the man and exchanged them for the principal.
