Actually, one secretary should have been enough.
Luo Yang wanted two secretaries; one mainly to help him manage his breeding company and the other to take care of the business of his few fish ponds on the side.
"Two it is, even three, we agree," Cheng Nan agreed readily.
"I'll recruit the secretaries myself," Luo Yang said with a smile.
"Of course, you recruit your secretaries. We'll just handle the salaries," Cheng Nan said.
No one else had any objections.
After leaving the Village Office, Luo Yang pondered over whom to choose as secretaries.
Actually, Fang Lin was pretty much Luo Yang's secretary already.
It's just that Fang Lin also had to handle matters for the village committee and couldn't devote herself fully to the secretary role.
Shuang Qiao used to be the boss, and their company was still in the process of filing for bankruptcy, they might not be willing to lower themselves to secretaries.
Other beauties, like Qin Piao, had plenty of time.
Unfortunately, Qin Piao's education level was not high; if she were to be a secretary, she would have to go for further studies.
Tang Guihua was the village doctor, and An Yuying was a temporary teacher.
After thinking it over, Luo Yang felt it was better to go back and ask around to see if any beauties were actively interested in the secretary position, and decide based on the situation.
Except for Suyun who was attending classes at school, the other beauties were all basically at Qin Piao's house.
Of course, Lin Xixin and Tan Shengmei were both in the county town, and they didn't live at Qin Piao's house originally.
Seeing Luo Yang come back, the beauties greeted him with smiles.
Zhang Jing, Grandma Liu, and Little Huizi were also there, their eyes still showing a hint of confusion.
During the duel with Qi Dongqiu, the Shadow Fist Luo Yang exhibited was enough to astonish the three mysterious guests.
But what they really couldn't understand was where the Soul Beast had gone in the end?
They also possessed the Heavenly Eye, not only could they see things invisible to ordinary people, but they could also sense Wandering Souls and Wild Ghosts nearby.
If the Soul Beast had merged with Luo Yang, they would have seen it.
But there was no sign of any merging whatsoever.
It was just that they had clearly seen the Soul Beast turn into two streams of black smoke that entered Luo Yang's eyes, and thereafter, it disappeared without a trace.
The three mysterious guests really wanted to figure out what exactly had happened.
Before he battled Qi Dongqiu, Luo Yang had been worried he might die in the arena.
Luckily, he had survived, and now he was in high spirits, glanced around with his Glance, and saw nothing but the soft curves of tender bodies, a feast for the eyes.
"Cowboy, you won. Have a cup of Kungfu tea I brewed for you," Qin Piao personally handed a cup of tea to Luo Yang.
"Thanks, Sister Piao," Luo Yang replied, taking it and draining the cup in one gulp.
The two Village Beauties were in a good mood and didn't feel very jealous this time.
Luo Yang scanned the room, then repeated the details about signing the contract at the Village Office.
Afterward, he continued, "I need two secretaries. Any of you interested?"
Turns out quite a few beauties were interested.
Qin Piao, Qiao Zai Shui, An Yuying, and Tang Guihua all wanted to be Luo Yang's secretaries.
You should know, since An Yuying and Tang Guihua were intimate with Luo Yang, if they really wanted the positions, Qin Piao and Qiao Zai Shui would likely gracefully step aside.
If Tang Guihua wanted to do it, she definitely could.
An Yuying was temporarily teaching at the village school, and unless she resigned, being a secretary wouldn't be a problem either.
With the educational background of the two Village Beauties, they were capable of performing the secretary duties, but they would still need some training.
"All four of you want to be secretaries?" Luo Yang asked.
"Is being a secretary a very relaxing job?" Tang Guihua asked with a smile.
If there were tasks, the secretary would take care of them, if not...
Luo Yang chuckled and said, "It should be quite busy. Why else would I recruit secretaries?"
Tang Guihua walked over with a smile, standing next to Luo Yang, and again practiced her interrupted cultivation.
With so many beauties around, Luo Yang found it inappropriate to plead for mercy.
In the end, Tang Guihua withdrew from the competition for the secretary positions.
An Yuying remembered she still had to teach at the village school and besides, she didn't like dealing with people.
She had said she wanted to be a secretary, but it was just for fun.
Thus, there were only Qin Piao and Qiao Zai Shui left to become secretaries.
Qiao Zai Shui didn't need to learn anew, she could already be a secretary.
Qin Piao, on the other hand, could not, as she neither understood computers nor had she used word processing software before.
The only thing the two women had in common was their cheerful personalities, indeed suitable for being secretaries.
"Sister Piao, Little Sister Qiao, come out with me for a bit to discuss your jobs," Luo Yang said.
Then the three of them went out.
Luo Yang had previously hired Fang Lin and Qin Piao to help out, and now he was hiring Qin Piao and Qiao Zai Shui as secretaries. Naturally, the salaries would be different.
If he discussed the salaries in front of Fang Lin, giving too much would make Fang Lin uncomfortable; giving too little would make Qiao Zai Shui displeased.
Therefore, Luo Yang called Qin Piao and Qiao Zai Shui out to talk.
Xingang Brigade Village's Cheng Nan said that the company would pay for the secretaries, so Luo Yang felt embarrassed to offer the two secretaries a very high salary.
Three to four thousand yuan, that was the maximum salary Luo Yang could offer.
If the breeding company's business were very good in the future, then he could appropriately increase the secretaries' salaries.
"Little Sister Qiao, you're not joking, are you?" Luo Yang asked.
The three of them were walking together, with Luo Yang in the middle.
Glancing left and right, the mountains surged forth, extremely firm.
"Our company has filed for bankruptcy, just waiting for the court to process it. If the court decides, then we sisters will be unemployed. Cowboy, we're following you," Qiao Zai Shui said seriously.
"Little Sister Qiao, don't worry, you won't regret following me," Luo Yang then paid a salute to Qiao Zai Shui's ample bosom.
When Qin Piao saw Luo Yang glance at Qiao Zai Shui's bosom, her eyes almost lit up and she couldn't help but snicker.
"Sister Piao, what's so funny?" Luo Yang felt his face grow a bit hot.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about sticking with you, and it made me happy," Qin Piao said with a smile.
Indeed, had it not been for Luo Yang's great help, Qin Piao would not have been able to establish herself in Hongyun Brigade.
The three of them arrived under a lush pomegranate tree, and Qin Piao sat down first on a low, horizontal branch, followed by Luo Yang.
Qiao Zai Shui, being from the county town, had seldom climbed trees as a child.
Seeing Luo Yang and Qin Piao sitting on a branch about 1.5 meters off the ground, she also cautiously seated herself.
Though the branch was thick, it started to shake a bit with three people on it.
Qiao Zai Shui held tightly onto the branch, not daring to move, fearful of tipping over backwards.
Qin Piao, however, was still able to swing her legs a bit, as if on a swing.
Luo Yang could sit steadily on the branch without even holding it with his hands.
His balance was very good.
"Little Sister Qiao, Sister Piao, I called you out here..."
As Luo Yang spoke, he paused and shifted his body up and down.
With his movement, naturally, the pomegranate branch shook even more.
"Ah!"
Qiao Zai Shui yelped, already teetering.
Quick as a flash, Luo Yang's left hand reached out, hooking around Qiao Zai Shui's slender waist.
"Little Sister Qiao, don't be afraid," Luo Yang reassured.
Qiao Zai Shui quickly wrapped her arms around Luo Yang's muscular waist, finally stabilizing herself.
Only to hear Qin Piao snicker again.
"Sister Piao, come here, let me hold you," Luo Yang's right hand also hooked around Qin Piao's willowy waist.
Qin Piao moved closer at once, leaning tightly against Luo Yang's body.
Seeing no one was around, Luo Yang suddenly pecked Qiao Zai Shui on her red lips.
"You!"
Qiao Zai Shui's pretty face flushed, and she waved her little fists, lightly pounding Luo Yang's chest.
"Little Sister Qiao, don't shake."
As he spoke, Luo Yang pecked Qiao Zai Shui's red lips again.
Qiao Zai Shui, however, laughed.
