"At your command, Three Good Lolita master!" Although Su Mo hadnât spent enough time with the male god, she had feasted her eyes before and was now ready to focus on work. As she passed Su Jiameng, she copied all the data related to Gu Ningxuan to Su Jiameng, including the absolutely confidential data marked as [Key]... She finished with a very suggestive look.
Su Jiameng was utterly confused, like a monk hitting a wall. With Su Mo gone, nothing blocked Gu Ningxuan and Su Jiamengâs view of each other, and both faces froze awkwardly for a moment.
Su Jiameng hadnât expected to run into this guy three times in such a short period. Could it be that Qiming Star isnât an enormous planet but a small village where you can reach the end in a few steps?
Gu Ningxuanâs thoughts were simpler. Can he formally back out now? He had run into Su Jiameng twice and had bad luck each time. Now he has to work at her shop? Is this a disaster waiting to happen?
Actually, is this job not as leisurely as the job listing suggested? Did a shady merchant set him up? Perhaps thereâs still time to get out? With completely different thoughts, the two sat down. Su Jiameng calmly looked at Gu Ningxuanâs resume and realized... she might have stumbled upon a treasure, a massive one at that.
She was previously puzzled why Gu Ningxuan, only a waiter in Nocturnal Song City, had such impressive skills. Looking at this resume, she understood, and a hint of excitement stirred inside. Aside from the minor flaw of being expelled, the innocent little lamb in front of her was perfect from top to bottom! She couldnât be more satisfied.
As for worrying about the reasons for expulsion? Su Jiameng really didnât care. In her past life, she had an honorary record of attending school, appearing only for exams, and accidentally sending alien classmates who provoked her to the emergency room. That was routine.
Any one of these things happening in Xilena could have gotten her expelled multiple times. Besides, seeing Gu Ningxuanâs upright appearance, he didnât seem like someone capable of terrible deeds. Why fear hiring him? But to be cautious, she would conduct a thorough investigation to ensure he wasnât a seemingly decent person with a wolfâs ambition... Well, everything could be handled after hiring him.
"Youâre hired!" Su Jiameng folded the electronic resume on the table and looked up at Gu Ningxuan, asking, "Start now?"
Seeing her straightforwardness, Gu Ningxuanâs unease grew. Actually, he didnât want to apply anymore, truly. "Okay..."
Su Jiameng nodded, suddenly realizing she missed a step, and added, "Since you agreed, letâs sit down now and discuss the salary. Because time was short, I havenât prepared the employment contract yet..."
Gu Ningxuan: "..." Heâd really jumped into a wolvesâ den. They didnât even have a basic employment contract...
"But Iâm very trustworthy. Iâll keep my promises and the conditions assured," Su Jiameng said. She actually found employment contracts troublesome, full of various clauses with potential pitfalls in the wording. Just stamping it would be simpler. "Even without a contract, you will receive everything promised. You can be a hundred percent sure of that!"
Gu Ningxuan: "..." He wasnât assured, not at all! Not even a single percent!
"If you feel unsafe about it, we can draft a contractual guarantee on the interstellar network; it should be legally binding," Su Jiameng suggested, looking expectantly at him, adding, "If you insist on an employment contract, Iâll get it for you."
Recalling his past experiences, Gu Ningxuan figured that even if Su Jiameng hired him now, her people would likely try to pressure him to quit eventually. Whether or not there was a contract didnât make much difference. He finally responded grudgingly, "No need. I trust you."
Skipping over the contract topic, Su Jiameng discussed the wages with him. "I hadnât expected the applicants to be of such high quality, so our previously set standards cannot be used..."
Applicants... of high quality? Gu Ningxuan felt a bit disconcerted, wondering if this meant "high skill quality" or "high personal quality"? Already on edge, he became even more uneasy.
"Letâs do this, four thousand five hundred credit points a month, with three meals included, two days off a month, and accommodation provided... What do you think?" Su Jiameng looked at him with hopeful eyes, as if urging him to quickly agree...
