294: There is conscience, but not much
"If there's any problem, contact me again."
"Alright."
"Then I'll be heading out first."
"Take care."
After renting the warehouse and taking over the keys to the main gate, Ye Su finally saw Qian Zhiyi and the warehouse manager out the door.
After the two had been gone for a while, Ye Su went to a corner and picked up the wooden box containing the mahjong set from a pile of miscellaneous items.
He slid open a crack in the bottom drawer to confirm that it was indeed a set of mahjong, then he carried the wooden box and placed it in the trunk of his car.
The Secondhand Shop was nearby.
Ye Su felt bad about passing by his own establishment without entering, so he drove to the Secondhand Shop first.
When Ye Su pushed open the door, he found that besides Yu Jinle, there was also a young couple who didn't have classes or work on a Friday afternoon, wandering around the shop looking at things.
Yu Jinle, naturally, didn't follow the customers around trying to sell them things like other shops did.
Firstly, the shop was indeed short-staffed, so it was impossible to provide one-on-one service for every customer.
Secondly, the young couple looked more like they had come in to leech off the air conditioning because of the hot weather rather than to buy anything.
There was no need for Yu Jinle to follow them around as a third wheel and be an annoyance.
"Boss."
Seeing Ye Su enter, Yu Jinle immediately greeted him.
The young couple had already noticed Ye Su when he walked in.
They had initially thought he was just another customer like them, coming in for a quick look out of curiosity, but they didn't expect him to be the owner of this shop.
They had assumed the owner of such a Secondhand Shop would be middle-aged or elderly, so they were surprised to see a handsome young man.
This left the couple a bit startled, and they couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Ye Su.
However, they didn't think much of it; after a brief look, they withdrew their gaze and continued curiously looking at the items in the shop, occasionally taking a photo with their phones as a souvenir.
There were no rules against taking photos in the shop.
If customers took photos and posted them online, it would serve as free advertising for the shop, which was a good thing.
Ye Su naturally allowed customers to take photos and check-in.
After greeting Yu Jinle, the two of them chatted casually, just like they did back in high school.
"How have things been these past few days? Can you handle the workload?"
"It's alright. Aside from the occasional busy spell where several customers ask for prices at once, everything else is fine."
A boutique Secondhand Shop like this could never be like a milk tea shop; it wouldn't have people constantly coming and going, and the foot traffic was destined not to be too high.
Compared to the quantity of customers, the focus was more on the quality of customers.
Yu Jinle could manage on her own for the most part.
Confirming that he wasn't the kind of boss who caught an employee and squeezed them dry, Ye Su felt relieved and took out the warehouse keys.
"I just bought a secondhand goods warehouse. Here are the keys. It's only a few minutes' walk from here. You can go take a look when you have time; I'll send you the address later."
The boss had a conscience, but not much.
Ye Su was too lazy to do the inventory and restocking himself, so he naturally dumped it all on Yu Jinle.
"You decide which goods from the shop need to be moved to the warehouse or what needs to be restocked from the warehouse to the shop."
Yu Jinle took the keys and nodded. "Alright, I'll go take a look when I pass by after work."
Although the warehouse wasn't far from the shop, thinking about making Yu Jinle, a girl, move things back and forth by herself felt a bit unfair, so Ye Su asked:
"Do you have an electric scooter or something?"
"No." Yu Jinle shook her head.
"When I worked at that other company, I always took the bus. After moving here, the shop isn't far, so I just walk. I didn't buy an electric scooter."
"Even though it's not far from the warehouse, it'll still be a hassle if you want to move things back and forth." Ye Su thought for a moment and said:
"When you have time, go buy an electric scooter to use for moving things. As for the larger items that you can't carry, wait for me to move them myself."
Ye Su had an electric scooter he had won in a lottery before.
However, in a place like Guangzhou, driving a car was sometimes more of a hassle.
He and Chen Xinyi occasionally used that scooter, so he couldn't give it to Yu Jinle; he simply let her buy a new one.
One more debt wouldn't weigh him down.
Only six days had passed this month, and he had already spent over a million within the reimbursement range of the 'ruyi abacus'; a few thousand for an electric scooter wouldn't make a difference.
In case System 38F's conscience returned and upgraded the level of the 'ruyi abacus' a few more times later, wouldn't he be able to reimburse even this electric scooter?
Judging by how the cost of upgrading intelligence doubled every time.
Ye Su speculated that with every upgrade of the 'ruyi abacus', the reimbursement limit would also double.
He already had a 400,000 monthly reimbursement limit; if it upgraded twice more, wouldn't it be 1.6 million?
Getting 1.6 million in business reimbursement for free every month would be enough to satisfy Ye Su, allowing him to confidently build and promote the 'Han Charm' trendy brand and harvest the wallets of those niche enthusiasts.
When Yu Jinle heard that Ye Su was going to provide her with an electric scooter for work, she immediately started flattering him eagerly:
"Thank you, Boss! Boss, you're so generous!"
How could she not know? Besides moving goods, she could drive the electric scooter whenever she wanted; this was essentially the same as giving her the scooter.
The prerequisite was that she continued working at the shop.
This was not a problem at all for Yu Jinle.
Over a hundred thousand a year with two days off every week—Yu Jinle could work until Ye Su went bankrupt!
Ye Su asked worriedly, "You do know how to ride an electric scooter, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm an experienced driver." Yu Jinle patted her chest confidently.
Unfortunately, she didn't have a figure like Chen Xinyi's; no matter how hard Yu Jinle patted her chest, there wasn't much to see.
"Alright." Seeing Yu Jinle's confident look, Ye Su felt at ease.
He didn't want to kindly provide her with a scooter only for it to cause her to crash or something; then there would be no one to work in the shop, and he'd have to pay for her worker's compensation.
Ye Su took out his phone and transferred 5,000 yuan to Yu Jinle.
"Pick whichever model you want. Don't buy a cheap one just to save money. If it's more, I'll pay the difference; if it's less, return the change. Just remember to bring back the receipt."
Ye Su wasn't so petty that he insisted on getting back the leftover money from the scooter purchase.
It was just that his current relationship with Yu Jinle was boss and employee.
Some rules had to be followed to avoid developing bad habits in the future.
"Okay, mission guaranteed to be accomplished!"
Yu Jinle also knew her boundaries. She didn't take advantage of her relationship with Ye Su to say something like she could keep the leftover money, like she might have at home when she was a kid.
While the two were chatting, the young couple had finished looking at everything in the shop. Unsurprisingly, they didn't buy anything and left the Secondhand Shop hand-in-hand.
Ye Su still had to go to the agency for company registration to sign some contracts and authorization forms, so he stood up and said goodbye to Yu Jinle.
Before leaving, Ye Su generously ordered afternoon tea for Yu Jinle, earning another round of flattery from his employee.
After leaving the old shop, Ye Su drove to the company registration agency.
The agency had already prepared the documents, ID copies, authorization forms, and other items.
Ye Su only needed to sign the paper documents and provide the agency with several potential company names to prevent the application from being rejected during the review process.
It was just a shell company, so Ye Su didn't care much about the name.
He left a few names, signed the contract, and paid the 1,300 yuan agency fee. He no longer had to worry about the company registration and could just go home and wait for the results.
