Faced with the olive branch extended by Xu Musen,
Zhao Lianmai was alert.
After all, Xu Musen's tone just now was like that of a pimp in TV dramas luring innocent women into shady business.
Xu Musen knew this dark-skinned girl always held some inexplicable hostility towards him.
He took out a flyer for recruiting campus delivery staff and handed it to her.
"I know you have some misunderstandings about me, but don't hold a grudge against money. The salary and benefits are described in detail here, definitely more than what you're making part-time here, though it's tougher work, the rewards are greater as well."
Xu Musen spoke unhurriedly, valuing Zhao Lianmai's willingness to endure hardship and her reliable nature.
"Moreover, if you're willing to work with me, I'll appoint you as the person in charge of the female staff. Besides a cut from the delivery side, you'll also get the profits from the business side. Think about it?"
Xu Musen added, the main goal initially being to secure the customers and naturally, to increase the benefits for the riders to keep the staff on board.
Zhao Lianmai didn't really want to get involved with a playboy like Xu Musen.
But looking at the salary information on the flyer, if she worked hard, she could indeed earn a decent amount each month.
At least several times the income from her current job.
Her family indeed needed money.
She clenched the flyer, pursed her lips slightly, yet eventually she gently shook her head and handed the flyer back to him.
"Still not satisfied?" Xu Musen asked.
He estimated that if Zhao Lianmai worked seriously, she could earn thousands each month.
For a student, that was a considerable sum.
Working part-time in the cafeteria, she would at most make a thousand or so a month.
"It's not about satisfaction, it's that I promised the restaurant owner to work, and I can't just quit on a whim."
Zhao Lianmai's voice was firm.
Xu Musen paused for a moment, admiring Zhao Lianmai's pretty, yet resilient face.
She was as stubborn as wheat seedlings after the vernal equinox.
As appreciation grew in Xu Musen's heart, "The more you say that, the more I feel I must have you on the team. Don't worry about your part-time job, I'll speak with the boss. Just confidently follow me."
Zhao Lianmai's fingers twisted anxiously as she looked at Xu Musen and An Nuannuan, who was engrossed in stirring the boiling shrimp paste in the pot.
Zhao Lianmai was self-aware. Xu Musen, the playboy, might be a fickle man.
But she was not the type to catch his eye.
She wasn't worried about actually getting into any trouble.
"Why must you choose me?"
She raised her head, looking into Xu Musen's eyes.
"Because I admire your character. Spending a little extra to make a friend who excels in both academics and morals is well worth it."
Xu Musen smiled.
Ever since Zhao Lianmai insisted on paying her share of the meal out the last time, Xu Musen knew she was a person of strong principles.
And today, she resisted the temptation of a high salary, still holding on to her sense of contract.
Someone with principles, responsibility, and the capacity for hard work like her, Xu Musen thought, absolutely shouldn't be missed!
Zhao Lianmai thought for a while before she put away the flyer, "This is my own matter. I will talk to the boss myself. After it's settled, I'll give you an answer."
"Alright, it's a deal then."
Xu Musen smiled and extended his hand.
Zhao Lianmai looked at him, then turned and left.
Xu Musen's hand hung in midair, then with a click of his tongue, he withdrew it.
These days, even as a boss, you get snubbed by employees.
"Xu Musen, I think that sister is pretty cool," An Nuannuan commented, watching Zhao Lianmai's retreating figure.
"Yes, quite a personality," Xu Musen said, smiling and looking at An Nuannuan, "But she is a bit cold, not as likable as you, Nuannuan."
An Nuannuan blinked, rarely blushing, but her pink lips still couldn't help curving into a slight smile. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
She took the plumpest piece of shrimp paste from the pot and placed it in Xu Musen's bowl.
"For you."
For An Nuannuan, food was as precious as He Qiang's love for fishing rods.
Giving it away proved someone's significance.
Xu Musen chuckled and took a bite.
"It tastes good."
After the meal,
Xu Musen took An Nuannuan to buy milk tea.
The milk tea shop on campus was actually doing pretty well.
But there was still a "For Lease" sign hanging on the storefront.
The only rooms approved by the school currently served as temporary classrooms.
There surely had to be a storefront in the future.
The location of this milk tea shop seemed quite favorable.
"Boss, one cup of fruit tea, one cup of lemon water, please."
"Alrighty."
The owner, recognizing Xu Musen and An Nuannuan, smiled and went off to prepare the drink. Enjoy exclusive chapters from m-v l'e-NovelFire
"Boss, I see your business is doing well. Why are you looking to sublet it?" Xu Musen casually struck up a conversation.
"Sigh, the business is good, but so is the rent. Mainly there's a warehouse that comes with this storefront, if you want to lease the shop, you have to take the warehouse too. I just have this milk tea shop, so that big warehouse is a waste, just bleeding money."
The owner said helplessly, shaking his head, "Plus, my kid is looking to get married and needs some money, and I can't keep up with the work anymore. Better to go back home and run a small business."
"I see. How much are you planning to sell the lease for?" Xu Musen inquired further.
"There's more than half a year left on the rent, as long as you can cover the transfer fee plus a little extra, I'd be satisfied with anything around eighty to a hundred thousand," the owner stated casually.
Xu Musen nodded, finding the price reasonable, and after some thought, he said, "Boss, let me be straightforward with you, I'm actually interested in leasing this shop."
