Su Yan was doing the accounts when she heard this and couldn't help but laugh, "You're not satisfied with working a few hours and being treated to braised food for a lifetime? You're too greedy."

"Are you serious?" Huo Qianli immediately perked up.

When have I ever lied to you?

Huo Qianli laughed so hard her teeth almost fell out, and said happily, "That's true, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

It took Su Yan about five minutes to calculate the revenue for the past few hours.

"It cost 2,700 in total. After deducting costs, we made about 2,200." After Su Yan finished speaking, she looked up at Li Juan, who was stunned by the number, and said, "Mom, don't be too happy yet. The fact that we were able to make so much money in just a few hours is entirely due to the opening promotion today. In addition, we haven't set up a stall for a while, so customers wanted to eat and bought a lot. I estimate that the foot traffic will only be higher for this week. After this period, it will return to its previous state. When I go to school, you have to manage the business well and hold promotions such as discounts or free gifts from time to time to maintain customer relationships."

Before, I could earn seven or eight hundred yuan a day by setting up a stall, and sometimes more than nine hundred, which was quite good.

Li Juan was extremely satisfied. "I understand, I understand. I will definitely manage it well."

She might not be very good at other things, but when it comes to making money, she's absolutely a 200% expert.

Su Yan shook her head helplessly as she saw her silly grin, then looked at Guo Changcheng, who was too tired to speak, and said, "You've all worked hard too. My mother's hand hasn't fully recovered yet, so I'll have to trouble you to do the hard work."

“We’re both paid to do this job, so it’s not a question of whether it’s hard or not,” Guo Chang said.

They are busy, but compared to before, they are very satisfied with their current job. It is not only stable, but the boss is also easy to talk to, pays wages on time, and often has food and drinks to take home. So what if they are tired?

"Mr. Su, are you free right now?" Cheng asked.

Su Yan nodded. "Yes, why?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to find a female bodyguard? She's already here, at the guesthouse. If you have time, I can take you to see her."

Tang Li told her to go to Baicaotang to see him after she finished her work... but it won't make a difference if she takes a little longer, she can see someone quickly anyway.

"Alright, let's go now." Su Yan put down her pen and came out. "Mother, you and Qianli pack up the shop. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, you can go now."

The guesthouse was right across from the state-run hotel, not far from the shop, just a three or four-minute walk away.

Upon arriving at the guesthouse, Su Yan did not go inside but waited at the entrance.

Cheng ran up to call for help, and Guo Chang told her about Qiu Xiaorou's basic situation.

"Qiu Xiaorou is simple-minded, has a fiery temper, and speaks with a sharp tongue. So when she was in the team, the women basically didn't like her, but she got along well with us men. Only her mother lives at home. Her father died in an accident years ago, and her mother raised her. If she says anything unpleasant later, Boss Su, don't take it to heart. She's just a smooth talker."

Su Yan laughed and said, "How old is she? Why do you sound like a little kid when you introduce her?"

“30 years old,” Cheng said. “She’s not married yet, and she doesn’t know how to control her temper. Her mother is worried sick about her.”

Su Yan raised an eyebrow.

Still unmarried at 30 in the 1980s?

Wow, what a brave man!

"They've come down."

Su Yan subconsciously looked into the guesthouse.

Guo Chang came down the stairs, followed by a woman who was about 160 cm tall, dressed in black, with a tan complexion, a muscular build that was clearly visible even through her clothes, two braids hanging down her chest, and a baby face.

Su Yan?

Is this the legendary woman with a muscular physique and an adorable face?

The two men stopped in front of her.

Guo Chang introduced, "Xiao Rou, this is Boss Su, she's the one who wants to hire a female bodyguard. Boss Su, this is Qiu Xiao Rou."

Su Yan looked at Qiu Xiaorou with curiosity.

Qiu Xiaorou was also sizing her up and spoke first: "Are you guys kidding me? How come it's a little girl? She doesn't even look eighteen. Don't worry about not being able to pay her."

Su Yan: "..."

Guo Changcheng ran: "..."

They were on tenterhooks.

Sure enough, she can't open her mouth to speak; if she does, it'll only lead to trouble!

The two glanced at Su Yan discreetly and saw that she was still smiling. For a moment, they wondered if they were seeing things!

"Don't worry, I can definitely pay you." Su Yan said with a smile, "But before I hire you, let me tell you my requirements. If you can accept them, then agree; if you can't, that's fine too."

Qiu Xiaorou scratched her head, not expecting this little girl to speak so eloquently. "Go on," she said.

"My requirements are simple. Your daily work only requires you to protect me and complete the tasks I assign you, but you must do them well. Secondly, you are not allowed to interfere in my affairs, and you must keep your mouth shut, otherwise I will immediately settle your wages and let you go. That's all. Any questions?"

"No problem," Qiu Xiaorou readily agreed.

She didn't think it was much of a requirement.

"Okay, you'll start work tomorrow. There will be a one-month probation period with a salary of only 20, including meals and accommodation. After that, your salary will be 35, including meals and accommodation. Just follow me around when you're not busy."

Also, my school starts in September in Guangzhou, and I'll need you to come with me. The benefits there will be the same as here. See if that's acceptable to you.

Qiu Xiaorou nodded. "Guo Chang told me beforehand that I'm single and my mom doesn't need my care. I can go wherever you want, but you can't delay my salary. I have to pay 10 yuan home every month on time."

Su Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked, "Have you been scammed before? Otherwise, why are you keeping emphasizing salary?"

"How did you know?" Qiu Xiaorou looked at her in surprise and said excitedly, "I was cheated before. I didn't get paid for two months and I couldn't find the person. I had to work at the dock to move goods and I didn't even have enough to eat. So now I can only find work where people pay on the 1st. If it's past 12 o'clock, I'll go to their house to move things to sell."

Su Yan: "..."

Is it really possible to say those last two sentences?

Tang Li and Guo Chang covered their faces, they simply couldn't bear to look.

After exchanging these few words, Su Yan had basically made up her mind.

Qiu Xiaorou is not only naive, but also a bit dim-witted...

However, such a person has one advantage: they are sincere and will not be easily tempted by other interests to betray her. She feels at ease and at ease using them.

"If you don't trust me, you should trust your two comrades, right? They wouldn't betray you." Su Yan said calmly, "Why don't you move your things to my house? I'll have Cheng and the other man take you there. Just pick a room to stay in. I have other things to do right now."

Qiu Xiaorou: "Okay, thank you, Boss Su."

Guo Chang and Cheng Pao breathed a sigh of relief after Su Yan left.

After all, Qiu Xiaorou suffered a lot because of her sharp tongue and couldn't find a job.

She either found it, but ended up offending someone and getting fired; luckily, Boss Su didn't hold it against her.
