Reborn on My Wedding Night: This Time, I Won't Fail My Soldier Husband
Since the decision had been made, it was time to prepare for the move back to Beijing.
Dong Shuyao first sought out Bai Yue to ask if she would be willing to go to Beijing to help manage a branch store.
As for the island, she couldn't just abandon it, so she approached Yang Jinhua and asked her to resign from her job at the food factory to become the manager of her clothing store.
The compensation, needless to say, would be far better than what she was earning at the food factory.
Yang Jinhua was puzzled: "Aren't you staying here? Why don't you manage the store yourself?"
Dong Shuyao had already prepared her excuse: "I'm three months along now, aren't I? I want to stay home and focus on the pregnancy. Besides, I need a quiet environment to design clothes and don't have the time to entertain customers."
That made sense.
Yang Jinhua stroked her daughter's hair, deep in thought. As a regular worker at the food factory, her monthly wage was only a dozen yuan or so.
Sometimes, after being exploited by the supervisor with deductions here and there, she would take home less than ten yuan a month.
Xiaohai's pay was slightly better, around thirty yuan.
But they still had both sets of parents in the countryside to support, and Tiantian was so young, still at an age where she needed constant care.
The couple had no savings at all and were terrified of even getting sick.
Living hand-to-mouth like that was no way to go on.
Shuyao had offered her a monthly salary of fifty yuan, which was a significant sum.
If you asked around the whole island, the manager of the largest clothing store only had a base salary of ten yuan, and with bonuses and subsidies added in, it wouldn't exceed twenty yuan at most.
"Alright! I'll do it!"
The island was where the clothing store began, and as long as Hu Jiaojiao and the Commander's wife were there, there would be no shortage of business.
Moreover, the circle of returning actresses had already opened a door; there would only be more and more people coming to rent or custom-order gowns in the future.
It didn't matter if Yang Jinhua didn't understand the technical side; her high emotional intelligence and ability to get along with people were enough.
