Although Lin Siyu said that hiring a college student was cheaper than even a migrant worker, Zhang Chu still didn’t have the heart to squeeze his new employee too much.
Ten thousand a month, Zhang Chu felt it was about right.
After all, the hot pot still had 50,000 wages a month.
At this time, Zhang Chu pointed at the hot pot and said to Ye Lei, “This is the hot pot, and from now on, you will be colleagues.”
Ye Lei immediately had a head full of question marks, her face tangled, “Boss, are you serious? I’m a big living person, being a colleague with a dog?”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, nodded, “Very serious, moreover, the hot pot might be more useful than you.”
Ye Lei was instantly speechless, “Boss, your words are too hurtful to my self-esteem, I’m more useful than a dog anyways.”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, casually said, “Hot Pot, say hello to her and don’t bully Miss Ye Lei in the future.”
Hot Pot instantly drooped its tongue towards Ye Lei and suddenly spoke, “Hello Sister!”
When Ye Lei heard this voice, she froze on the spot, her body stiffening, her expression frozen, her mouth wide open, her scalp numb with fear!
When Zhang Chu took a look at Ye Lei’s expression, he then laughed, “Now you believe that the hot pot might be more useful than you, right?”
“Sister don’t be afraid, I won’t rob you of your wages.”Hot Pot spoke again.
Ye Lei on the other hand was on the verge of crying in fear as she shivered and said with a sobbing voice, “Boss …… it will talk!”
Zhang Chu on the other hand laughed, “Right, if it can’t talk, I still don’t keep it.”
“But …… but ……” Ye Lei was still heart-stricken, when the average person sees a big dog that can talk, there are mostly only two reactions.
First, think this dog is so powerful, directly make friends with the dog.
Second, scared stiff on the spot.
Obviously, Ye Lei belonged to the latter.
At this time, Zhang Chu gently patted Ye Lei’s shoulder and comforted, “Don’t be afraid, the hot pot is very gentle, it’s a big warmer, if you run into trouble in the future, maybe it can still protect you.”
While comforting Ye Lei, Zhang Chu simultaneously moved his mind and stimulated some spiritual energy into Ye Lei’s body.
A warmth immediately swept through Ye Lei’s entire body, and her mind quickly settled down.
Coupled with the fact that the Hot Pot’s appearance really wasn’t fierce, it even honestly squatted in front of Ye Lei, grinning.
So after a few minutes, Ye Lei finally accepted the fact that the hot pot could talk.
“This …… this is amazing!”Ye Lei said, still somewhat incredulous.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, laughed, “Just kidding, you don’t look at the name of our shop, Iron Mouth, we’re a metaphysics shop, if there isn’t a talking pet in the shop, what does that look like?”
“Okay.”Ye Lei’s mood calmed down a little.
At this moment, she had some interest in the hot pot again and couldn’t help but peek at it.
As soon as the hot pot looked at Ye Lei like this, it instantly came to Ye Lei’s ear and whispered, “Don’t worry, Miss Sister, Master Dog, I will take care of you.”
Ye Lei, on the other hand, weakly said, “You really won’t eat people?”
“Joke, Master Dog I am going to cultivate immortality, if I eat people, how can I still cultivate immortality? My grandpa would have to slap me to death!”Hot Pot said righteously.
Zhang Chu also said, “Don’t worry, Hot Pot is a good dog, you’ll understand after being in contact for a long time, it doesn’t dare to bite people.”
“Oh.”Ye Lei’s fear of Hot Pot gradually disappeared.
At this time, Hot Pot said to Ye Lei again in a thievish manner, “Miss, I have a brother who wants to meet you, is it okay?”
“Your brother?”Ye Lei was a bit puzzled, but she still nodded, “Sure.”
The hot pot immediately peeled his coat pocket and directly shook out the small toad.
A large toad, directly landed in front of Ye Lei.
Ye Lei was so scared that she took a step back, “Aiya, so disgusting, how do you play with a toad!”
The small toad instantly shouted, “What toad? I am the Nine Yin Jade Toad!”
“Ah! This toad can talk too!”Ye Lei screamed in fear once again.
But this time, she adapted much faster than just now.
There was no need to be consoled either, she gradually relaxed on her own.
At this time Ye Lei finally asked, “Besides the two of them, is there any other animal that can talk?”
Hot Pot hurriedly shook his head, “No, no, if you come across any more animals that can talk, report it to grandpa right away, so that grandpa can go catch the demon!”
“Good!”This time, Ye Lei was finally relieved.
At the same time, Ye Lei also finally understood that her own boss, seemed to be a person with real skills.
When it was almost evening, Zhang Chu matched a key to the small shop and handed it over to Ye Lei.
“In the future, you’ll work at eight in the morning and two in the afternoon, just come and open the door yourself.”Zhang Chu said.
Ye Lei instantly asked, “Boss, I just went to work and you’re giving me the key?”
Zhang Chu then said, “The main reason is that I have to sleep in the morning, so I might not get up at what time, I don’t have to be on time.”
“But you’re an employee, you have to go to work on time.”
Ye Lei: emm……
At ten o’clock the next morning, when Zhang Chu came to the small shop, he really found that Ye Lei had already arrived at the small shop a long time ago.
Moreover, there were surprisingly a few guests in the shop.
Ye Lei had poured tea for the people and was pacifying the few guests, “Don’t be anxious, everyone, our boss will be here soon.”
As soon as Zhang Chu entered, Ye Lei hurriedly shouted, “Boss, why are you only coming now! The guests have been waiting for two hours!”
Zhang Chu also didn’t expect that Ye Lei would still be able to keep customers for herself.
So Zhang Chu nodded, “Well, good job.”
At this moment, Zhang Chu took a seat at his own table while Ye Lei said, “Alright, we’ll start calling numbers now, and those who are called can come in front of our boss for questioning.”
“Number 1!”
……
At this moment, Zhang Chu was instantly a bit impressed with Ye Lei, although this way of calling numbers was very common and anyone understood what was going on.
But in fact, Zhang Chu knew that many people who worked for others would immediately swing for the fences if their bosses weren’t around.
And Ye Lei didn’t just not swing for the fences, instead, she immediately put in the work, and even found a way to keep the guests on her own, Zhang Chu was instantly very satisfied with Ye Lei.
Of course, Zhang Chu’s speed in solving problems was also very fast.
The first one to look for Zhang Chu was an old lady, this old lady said to Zhang Chu:
“Sir, I recently had a strange dream about a tree of hibiscus flowers that I raised when I was a child, and that hibiscus flower would turn into a person and smile at me.”
“That person’s appearance ah, I feel very familiar, but I can’t for the life of me remember who that person is, so I want to ask you to help me interpret my dream.”
Zhang Chu then asked, “Is it a daily dream?”
The old lady nodded, “Yes!”
“The impression is so deep that when you close your eyes now, you can still recall the person’s appearance?”Zhang Chu asked.
The old lady nodded, “Can.”
“Was the hibiscus flower raised as a child, or have you never seen that hibiscus flower before?”Zhang Chu asked again.
The old lady said, “It should have been raised as a child, I’m quite impressed with that hibiscus flower.”
Zhang Chu was instantly moved in his heart and immediately spoke, “Ma’am, you are seventy-nine years old this year, right?”
“Right!”The old lady said.
Zhang Chu said, “Oh, dreaming of a hibiscus flower turning into a person is a sign that long lost relatives, will be reunited.”
“Ma’am when you were in your thirties, you should have had a sister who got lost with you, and in these recent days, you should be able to reunite.”Zhang Chu said casually.
The old lady was originally very composed, but when she heard Zhang Chu’s words, she violently stood up, her hands trembling a little with excitement, “Sir, what did you …… you say?”
No wonder the old lady was so excited, when she was thirty years old, her younger sister was abducted by someone, and her family had spent several years trying to find this sister.
Even in the process of searching for her sister, her mother was so exhausted that she suffered a stroke and died.
There was a time when the old lady’s family was in tears for a long time.
Even when the old lady’s dad died, he grabbed the old lady’s hand and said that he hoped to see that little daughter one last time ……
Now, suddenly hearing Zhang Chu talk about this, where could the old lady’s heart be calmed.
Zhang Chu slightly raised his hand, signalling the old lady to sit down while saying, “When there is a reunion event in a family, there will actually be quite a few omens.”
“For example, under the eaves of a house that has never been inhabited by swallows, a few swallows suddenly come. Another example is that a cactus that has been kept unbloomed for years suddenly blooms.”
The old lady was instantly thrilled, “Gee sir, you are so right.”
“My family lives on the first floor of the neighbourhood, and I’ve never seen swallows in previous years, but as soon as spring started this year, there was actually a nest of swallows that built a nest on my window!”
Zhang Chu nodded his head and spoke, “Then it can’t be wrong, your long lost sister will be reunited soon.”
The old lady, on the other hand, hurriedly asked, “Sir, then what should I do to reunite with my sister? I’ve heard that if you don’t have the precepts, you might lose touch with your loved ones.”
Saying that, the old lady took out another large red packet and handed it to Zhang Chu.
