After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 861 - 462: A Boring Day

"Sis, there aren't many lifting jobs at the supermarket, so it's not necessary for Brother-in-law to come help every day."

Zhao Guozhong looked at Zhao Xiaolan with some embarrassment.

"How can there not be many lifting jobs? Every day we need to receive and stock goods, don't we need to move them? Plus, your brother-in-law can also act as security. If you're not in the store and it's just Little Ling and her mom, if there's any trouble, at least your brother-in-law, being a man, can help handle it."

When Zhao Guozhong heard this, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then how much is Brother-in-law's monthly... salary?"

"Five thousand, let's say."

It was Chen Feng who spoke. He understood his dad; if the salary was too low, his dad definitely wouldn't be interested since the family wasn't short on money now. But if the salary was reasonable, not letting him work would actually upset him.

"Five thousand? Isn't that... a bit too much?" Zhao Guozhong asked somewhat timidly.

Seeing his demeanor, Chen Feng knew he was feeling stingy. After all, the supermarket had originally agreed to give 25% of the profits to Mao Xiaoling. Adding staff with a salary of five thousand a month made him and Mao Xiaoling a bit reluctant.

Zhao Xiaolan also said, "Five thousand is too much, let's say three thousand."

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Five thousand it is. Working here means almost no breaks all year round, and holidays are the busiest. So, a higher salary is justified. Of course, Dad, you don't really have to come to work every day without breaks. If you feel tired, just take a few days off."

When Chen Feng said this, the faces of Zhao Guozhong, Mao Xiaoling, and her mom turned slightly sour.

Chen Feng inwardly sighed, thinking that indeed, family sticks together.

Then, Chen Feng continued, "To be fair, Uncle, you should also get a salary. As the manager doubling as the delivery man and stock arranger, your monthly salary will also be five thousand. If you have any personal matters, you can also take leave."

"Oh, that's how it is. Okay then. Haha, as the manager, I finally have a salary."

"Then it's settled. You and my dad officially start today. You can have shifts with Dad when necessary," Chen Feng suggested.

Zhao Guozhong nodded quickly in agreement, "That's a good idea. Otherwise, staying in the shop every day without leaving would be too torturous. Shifts are good."

Zhao Xiaolan scolded, "You haven't even started working yet and already thinking about breaks. As the manager, you need to learn to manage all aspects of the supermarket. Your brother-in-law does manual labor, unlike you, so he can ask for leave anytime, but you can't. Of course, if he takes leave, his pay will be deducted at a rate of 180 per day."

Being quite fair, when Zhao Xiaolan put it that way, the three on Zhao Guozhong's side had nothing to say.

"Alright, since we've checked the supermarket, if Mom has no other issues, I'll head back first. When do you and Dad plan to return?"

"We've just arrived, how can we leave so soon? Is there something you need to do when you go back?"

Zhao Xiaolan asked, somewhat displeased.

"I want to go to town to meet some classmates," Chen Feng casually gave an excuse.

"Meeting classmates again?" Zhao Xiaolan frowned, "Is it a boy or a girl? If it's a girl, don't go. Now that you have Little Ting, you should settle down and stop messing around outside."

"You're overthinking it. My classmates include both guys and girls, and since I'm finally back home, of course, I want to get together and chat."

"But there's no need to meet every day. Alright, let's go upstairs to check the rental properties."

Previously, Chen Feng had spent over two million to buy the three-story building here, with the supermarket downstairs and rental properties upstairs. The monthly rental income was quite substantial. This money counted as Chen Feng's regular filial contribution to his parents.

His parents didn't refuse, knowing their son was indeed wealthy now, having bought over two million worth of property just like that.

"You and Dad can go check it out; I don't need to."

"You just got here and want to leave so soon? Can't you stay with me a bit longer?" Zhao Xiaolan asked, a bit upset.

Thinking he indeed had nothing urgent, Chen Feng said, "Alright then, I'll go up with you."

Only then did Zhao Xiaolan smile in satisfaction.

So, Chen Feng accompanied his mom out of the supermarket. His dad, Chen Dayong, intended to follow but was ordered by his mom to stay and work in the store.

The rental properties were accessible from the rear exit of the supermarket. In terms of security, it was decent.

There was a large iron gate at the bottom of the building, with automatic locking, which prevented unrelated people from entering freely. This was much better than other residential buildings.

Of course, since these were rental properties, the tenants varied. Though most came to work honestly, there was no certainty about their characters.

Fortunately, their tenant selection was strict, not renting to just anyone. First, they assessed people; if someone looked shady or too scruffy, Zhao Xiaolan wouldn't rent to them. Secondly, they limited occupancy to two people per room, excluding families with children, to prevent several adults from overcrowding a room and creating a mess.

The third and most important criterion was that Zhao Xiaolan prioritized renting to couples and those with children, as they were generally safer and caused fewer issues than single tenants.

Mother and son checked upstairs, where four rooms were rented to couples or those with children, and two to single workers, all from reputable factories.

They found the stairways clean, maintained by the tenants themselves.

Being morning, only tenants from two rooms were at home; the rest had locked up and gone to work.

Therefore, there wasn't much to see. Even as landlords, they couldn't freely open tenants' rooms to check inside.

After some chitchat with the two tenants present, Zhao Xiaolan and Chen Feng went downstairs.

"These tenants give me peace of mind. The concern is about tenants with questionable backgrounds, which can be troublesome. Luckily, I followed your advice and only signed three-month contracts. If they don't work out, we can evict them after three months."

"Sure, you and Brother can manage it together. In the future, you don't need to do everything yourself; leave it to Brother and Sister-in-law."

"Got it. I manage the rentals and the supermarket just to pass the time."

"Don't you need to take care of Little Yu and Little Xue?"

"They're old enough now; they don't need my care anymore. Plus, their mom doesn't work now and can handle both kids herself."

"Isn't Sister-in-law helping at the car wash?" Chen Feng asked, trying to defend Sister-in-law Li Guihong.

"What help? She's just playing the boss's wife, eating seeds, using her phone, and doing nothing productive."
