American Ranch

Chapter 113 Joanna

When I arrived at the school, the principal and the teacher led me to the small class.

When I entered the door, I saw that the classroom was decorated like a class party, with ribbons, balloons, paper flowers, etc., cartoon characters were drawn on the blackboard, and cartoons for learning were broadcast on the LCD TV. The middle of the classroom was empty, and the floor was covered with blankets. There are colorful cartoon benches placed against the wall, and there are already children sitting on them. Qin Yi roughly counted them and smiled. There are only more than 20 students in a class!

Nodding in my heart, this environment is not bad, very suitable for children to play.

Looking at Angel and Becky again, Qin Yi couldn't help laughing.The two little girls stretched their heads and looked at the classroom for a while. Their big eyes were bright, and they were obviously attracted by the outfits they had never seen inside.

The teacher is indeed a professional, and within a short while coaxed the two girls to smile. They waved their little hands and followed the teacher into the classroom. After a while, under the arrangement of the teacher, they happily played with a group of children went.

The three of Qin Yi chatted with the principal Old Matt for a while. This old man in his 60s is quite talkative, humorous, and childlike. Maybe it is because of this that he manages a kindergarten full of children!
After bidding farewell to old Matt, Qin Yi and Susa still had work to do, so Walker went back to the farm first.

In addition to being busy with calf matters and the establishment of a financial office these days, Susa has not delayed. She posted recruitment information on the Internet, and even went to several office buildings in Augusta by herself, and selected a few It's a nice place, this time just let Qin Yi go over to have a look.

In fact, in a small town like Augusta, there are no buildings with more than 5 floors, and most of them are small buildings with two or three floors. These office buildings are also small buildings like this.But this is enough, the two offices are perfectly fine as a firm, and I didn't plan to make it too big.

After looking at several companies, Qin Yi finally chose the one with a facade. After all, it is a formal financial firm, and it is comfortable to hang a bright signboard.

This is the facade of a two-room building upstairs and downstairs. The downstairs can be used as a reception, and the upstairs can be used as offices for several employees. Of course, Susa doesn’t need to work here, just come here occasionally to check on the working status of the employees.

In the afternoon, I accompanied Susa to meet a lady in her 40s named Joanna, who came to apply for the firm's accountant.

This is Susa's first applicant. According to the information, Joanna has more than 20 years of working experience and is a real senior accountant.Susa was still a little surprised when she received the application materials. This is a veteran accountant, why did she come to the small town of Augusta for an interview, or was she a newly registered firm?

But regardless of whether it is true or not, we must meet first, so we have this appointment.

"Earlier, I worked in Helena. In the past ten years, I have been living in Seattle. I have always been an accountant."

Joanna stirred the coffee gracefully, picked it up, took a sip, and continued: "You may not know that I was also born in Augusta. When I was young, my family also had a small farm. But when I grew up, I wanted to I wanted to go to the big city, but after living for a long time, I realized that what I miss the most is the life on the farm.”

Susa nodded. When she was in college, she also yearned for the prosperity of the metropolis outside, but after going out for a living, she realized that what she wanted most was the tranquility of the small farm.

"I was like you a few years ago, but luckily, I understood it early. Now I guard the ranch and take care of the finances, leisurely and at ease."

Susa was not showing off, but at this moment, she seemed to see her middle-aged self in Joanna. These words were said to Joanna on the surface, but in fact, they were said to another possible self. A kind of congratulations to oneself.

If my father hadn't been seriously ill early, I'm afraid I would have chosen Joanna's life, and I would look back and regret it when I was old. I regretted that I missed a lot of things and someone.

Qin Yi was sitting on the side drinking coffee, he didn't understand the interview or something, and it was not easy to interrupt, so he came over, but, um, idle is idle, well, I hope the interview will end sooner, and the calves in the pasture will arrive soon .

"Heh," Joanna is dozens of years old and has seen all kinds of people in the metropolis, so she naturally understands that Susa has no malicious intentions, so she doesn't mind, "It's not too late, I'm back in Augusta, I bought a small farm of dozens of acres half a year ago, raising a few sheep and a horse, which is also very good.”

"Congratulations, you have found the life you want." Susa was also happy for her.

"Yeah, the life on the farm is what I want, but it's not enough. It's true that I like the life on the farm, but I also like accounting work, so I came here after seeing your recruitment information."

Listening to her words, Qin Yi understood a little bit. Joanna was tired of the city, but she was also a person who couldn't be idle. If she could work in Susa's office, she could be an accountant and live on a farm, killing two birds with one stone!
"Congratulations, Joanna, you have passed. You will start working tomorrow. Help me recruit two more people. Work experience doesn't matter." Susa began to recruit young men. With this experienced old accountant, the newly graduated accountant came to do odd jobs. It will be all right.

"However, your salary may not be as good as Seattle." Susa first said to Joanna, then blinked at Qin Yi, smiling happily, probably because the newly opened office has a general in charge.

"I'm not short of money now. It's enough for me to live comfortably here for the rest of my life. Of course, the salary has to be reasonable. After all, I'm working." Joanna doesn't care how much, as long as it meets the local standards, she deserves it for her labor. Be serious.

"of course!"

Before leaving, Joanna looked at Qin Yi a few times, and was a little curious about this young Chinese man who had been well-known in Augusta for half a year. This guy built an irrigation system during the severe drought, and even put a large area of ​​the farm Remodeled to a ranch with quality pastures, this is quite a feat!

Back at the ranch in the afternoon, Ryan was leading people to receive calves in the Rocky Mountains, and Qin Yi took Susa to help.

At around 4 o'clock, Angel came back bouncing back with a small schoolbag on her back. Seeing her happy face, she obviously had a good time at school.

"An Qier, is school fun?" Qin Yi picked up the little girl and put it on his lap, asking about the school.

"It's fun, I'll go tomorrow!" An Qier smiled, threw herself into Qin Yi's arms, arched her body, and found a comfortable position to lay down.

"Do the kids like Angel?" Qin Yi asked intentionally. Seeing how happy she was, it was obvious that she had made many friends.

"I like it, and Becky, everyone likes us." Angel stretched out two chubby hands and counted with her fingers, "Jojo, Elsa, Renee, Gracie, Matthew, and Well, they all like me and Betsy."

After finishing speaking, the little girl looked up at Qin Yi, waiting for him to praise herself.

Qin Yi smiled, looking at her big expectant eyes, he knew what she was thinking, "An Qier is the most obedient, let me just say, there must be many people who like Angel, and Becky, Becky is also a obedient child. "

Sure enough, the little girl was so happy that she put her arms around his neck and kissed him hard.

In the next few days, calves were delivered every day, and Qin Yi, like the cowboys, lived a busy and fulfilling life.

Susa's office is on the right track. With the help of Joanna, two more recruits have been recruited, the girl Evra and the young man Huggins, both of whom have just graduated from university. They are both locals. of great interest.

They've heard that this firm is a subsidiary of that mysterious Huaxia man's company. If they work with such a promising rancher, their future is definitely not bad!
