Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 135 Old Classmate Arrives

Cui Xing breathed a sigh of relief and closed the recruitment platform window.

He couldn't help but laugh at the thought that he would soon have a job with a higher salary than at the funeral center in Shannan City.

Cui Xing's work ability is not a problem. The reason he wants to leave the Shannan City Funeral Center is simply because he offended the boss's brother-in-law.

Nowadays, nine out of ten jobs at the venue are assigned to other emcees, and the remaining one is usually a client from a family with average financial means.

It's worth noting that his main source of income used to come not from his salary, but from free gifts from clients.

Now that the other party is doing this, it's equivalent to indirectly reducing his salary, which has caused his wife to harbor resentment towards him for quite some time.

Therefore, Cui Xing had the idea of ​​leaving the Shannan City Funeral Center.

However, his whole family lived in Shannan City, and it was impossible for him to abandon his family and move to another city, so he chose a county-level city surrounding Shannan City.

Although the basic salary in county-level cities is lower than that in Shannan City, there is still extra income.

With the extra income, it will definitely be better than his current situation.

To his surprise, jobs at county-level funeral homes were not easy to find.

Either the other party has enough emcees, or the price they offer is too low, or the location is too remote.

After searching high and low, he gave up.

Just then, he saw the job posting for Tianmen Funeral Home. He was already in a bad mood and was prepared to continue to put up with the boss's brother-in-law's mistreatment, so he rambled on a bit.

Who knew that the boss from Tianmen County would actually come to Shannan City to look for him!
This gave him an opportunity—an opportunity to raise the price on the spot!

Since the other party could agree to such an unreasonable request, it meant that they were short of staff. So, on his way there, he asked someone to inquire about the situation at Tianmen Funeral Home.

After learning that there were two funeral homes in Tianmen County, he had even more ideas.

If handled well, he could even jump from Tianmen Funeral Home to Fushou Funeral Center, which was on the rise!

His income may not be lower than before.

All of this requires negotiating the price with Tianmen Funeral Home first. Only after obtaining the contract with Tianmen Funeral Home can he negotiate the price with the owner of Fushou Funeral Center.

So even if he agreed to live in Tianmen County, he still wanted to receive his full probationary salary and the 2,000 yuan fuel subsidy.

Now, everything is ready; all he needs to do is resign and leave the Shannan City Funeral Center that he finds so annoying.

Soon, Cui Xing found his boss and resigned.

Cui Xing originally thought that after his boss found out he had resigned, he would ask him why, and then he would make things difficult for his boss's brother-in-law.

The boss approved it without asking any questions.

This made him even more grief-stricken and indignant.

As he left, he spat at the boss's office and cursed, "Birds of a feather flock together!"
He then added, "If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will!"
Only then did I manage to calm myself down.

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

After explaining things to his family, Cui Xing drove to Tianmen County.

His mood improved even more after arriving in Tianmen County.

Compared to Shannan City, Tianmen County has everything else except for its less developed infrastructure and fewer high-rise buildings.

He even had the idea of ​​bringing his wife and children to Tianmen County for a visit every now and then.

However, he had to put his leisure time aside for now and take care of his work first.

Soon, he arrived at the Tianmen Funeral Home.

Seeing the dilapidated state of the Tianmen Funeral Home in person only intensified his desire, but he did not reveal it.

Soon, he met the young curator, and the contract was signed smoothly.

To demonstrate his abilities, Cui Xing immediately took on the curator's afternoon tasks.

After familiarizing himself with the client's information, his professionalism satisfied everyone.

He believed that the owner of Fushou Funeral Center would contact him soon.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Miao had plenty of time these three days because Cui Xing was so proactive that Chen Miao couldn't get a word in edgewise.

If the other party can really continue like this, then keeping him around isn't necessarily a bad thing.

After all, one person can do the work of two, so paying two people's wages is acceptable.

But soon, Chen Miao understood why the other party was working so hard.

That noon, when Chen Miao took Xiaobai, whose bandages had been removed, shopping, she saw Cui Xing chatting happily with Du Xiang.

That afternoon, Cui Xing resigned, refusing three days' wages, and left.

Therefore, how could Chen Miao not know the other party's intention in coming to the Tianmen Funeral Home? It just goes to show that there are no truly stupid people in this world.

Chen Miao wanted to use Cui Xing to go to Fushou Funeral Center, thereby increasing the burden on the center.

Cui Xing also wanted to use Tianmen Funeral Home as a springboard for his career.

So, who really gained and who lost?

However, Chen Miao was not worried about Cui Xing's departure because an old classmate of his contacted him yesterday!

The two parties reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation, and the other party was also willing to come to Tianmen County.

So after Chen Miao approved Cui Xing's resignation, he and Cui Xing walked outside together.

As Cui Xing walked toward the parking lot, he noticed Chen Miao following him, which made him feel somewhat awkward.

Who knew that their cars were parked next to each other?

As they got into the car, Cui Xing couldn't help but ask, "Director Chen, are you getting ready to go out?"

"Yes, we've found a master of ceremonies to go pick him up."

Bang!
The car door closed, and Chen Miao drove away, leaving Cui Xing standing there somewhat stunned.

Even after he drove to Fushou Funeral Center, he still couldn't figure out why Chen Miao was able to seamlessly recruit a master of ceremonies.

Logically speaking, since he performed so well, Chen Miao didn't need to take any action himself. So why did Chen Miao still need to recruit him?
That's unreasonable!
He couldn't figure out this question even after he signed the contract with Fushou Funeral Center.

So he told Du Xiang about it.

Then he saw that Du Xiang's always smiling face had changed.

Du Xiang didn't say anything more to him, and he stopped thinking about it.

However, after competing with the other four emcees at Fushou Funeral Center for work for a month, exhausting himself and perhaps earning less than at Tianmen Funeral Home, he seemed to understand something.

But by then, it was too late.

……

Anyway, Chen Miao had already picked up his old classmate, Luo Zhiyong.

After showing Luo Zhiyong around the Tianmen Funeral Home and explaining its situation and current state, Chen Miao led Luo Zhiyong to his office.

"How about it?"

Chen Miao looked at Luo Zhiyong and asked with a smile.

He did not hide his current predicament or the methods used by Fushou Funeral Center from his old classmate.

He didn't want the other person to harbor resentment because of his concealment.

"It's much better than I expected."

Luo Zhiyong nodded and said, "You know my situation. I'm not good with words, but you can rest assured that once I get this salary, I will do this job until the contract expires."

Chen Miao nodded in satisfaction.

That's exactly what he values.

As for his lack of writing skills, he doesn't mind that he writes the eulogies every time; Luo Zhiyong only needs to hold the script and preside over the ceremony.

Thinking this, Chen Miao took the contract out of the drawer.

The salary in the contract is the same as Tao Bo's, but there is an additional 2,000 yuan attendance bonus.

Luo Zhiyong was surprised by the unexpected bonus, but then signed his name.

After finishing, Chen Miao prepared to take Luo Zhiyong out for dinner.

As for Xiaobai, after asking him, Chen Miao saw that Xiaobai was unwilling, so he sent him to Li Fu in the cold storage.

During this time, Xiao Bai's relationship with everyone else was so-so, even with Shi Manman who fed him fruit every day, but he was very close to Li Fu.

Their level of intimacy is second only to Chen Miao.

As for the reason, Chen Miao also asked Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai only said one sentence: "Uncle is so kind."

Chen Miao didn't understand why Li Fu in the cold storage made Xiao Bai feel 'warmth', but he still trusted Xiao Bai's choice.

Just as Chen Miao delivered Xiaobai to Li Fu and left with Luo Zhiyong.

Suddenly, he heard Luo Zhiyong utter a sentence.

How old is your son?
