Chapter 082: Eating Watermelon at the Food Court (10)

After Liu Tang sent Mo Qianhe away, his body issued a low-battery reminder, telling him to quickly return to the charging bay to recharge.

He followed the instructions, walked to the storage room, opened the hatch, and stood in steadily.

As the lid closed, he felt an irresistible sleepiness coming over him and soon fell into a dreamless sleep.

Therefore, the NPC had no idea about the changes in the food court and slept soundly until dawn.

Walking out of the charging bay, he found that his battery was fully charged again.

"Today is the second day of the player's login. As the owner of the bun shop, you have the right to choose whether to renew the employee's contract and adjust their salary based on their performance the previous day."

Liu Tang listened to the system report and checked the current business situation of the store.

We found that due to lack of staff yesterday, we were unable to ensure sufficient customer orders, resulting in the overall revenue situation barely maintaining a "qualified" level.

Liu Tang didn't care too much about the business situation. After all, he didn't enter the dungeon to really start a business, so "qualified" was enough for him.

It was just that being on the brink of bankruptcy always made him feel a little uneasy.

He was considering whether to hire another employee or simply reduce Mo Qianhe's salary.

Thinking of this, Liu Tang couldn't help but feel the joy of role-playing: I am such an unscrupulous capitalist!

At this moment, all the players who had just woken up from their sleep had gloomy faces.

"Yesterday, three stores where players worked were involved in illegal operations, and the boss unlock rate was increased to 30%.

"Players working in these three stores will have 50 Food Coins deducted from their income as a penalty."

The system announcement ended and the players had already met in the rest area.

Except for Mo Qianhe, who had the lowest salary, all players had 50 food coins deducted.

When looking for a job yesterday, everyone noticed that the part-time salary offered by the steamed bun shop was the lowest.

So after a day's work, everyone has more or less a sense of superiority that "at least I earn more than that liar Mo."

I didn't expect that the bun shop was just as the manager said, the low wages were because the ingredients were fresh and the operation was not in accordance with regulations.

With this in and out, Mo Qianhe made the most money.

When the audience in the live broadcast room saw this result, they started to discuss Mo the liar again:

"Awesome, you're worthy of being called Mo the Liar, you've even calculated this."

"No wonder he would rather give away five more props than work in the bun shop yesterday."

"Hiss... If you count these five items, I still feel like I'm at a loss."

"It's a huge loss, isn't it? This is just a small profit. Besides, these food coins can only be used to clear dungeons, they are useless. But props are really useful!"

Qin Zhengyi and Song Xiaoyan also took this opportunity to confirm that there was indeed something wrong with the milk tea shop where they worked.

Qin Zhengyi complained: "So the bosses who make a lot of money in this dungeon are all black-hearted merchants."

Zhou Da was worried about another issue at this time: "After deducting accommodation fees and fines, our income can only earn 110 food coins a day. It will take at least eight or nine days to earn 1,000 food coins to pass the level.

"This boss' unlock level has increased to 30% in just one day. It will definitely be fully unlocked before we complete the game. Wouldn't our future be extremely dangerous?"

Jiang Minxu idealistically suggested: "We can only find a way to persuade the store managers not to continue operating in violation of regulations."

Zhou Dada sneered, "Telling businessmen to make less money? What if he just fires us? We won't earn a penny."

Ji Zehan thought for a moment and suggested an improvement: "Or we can use semi-finished products within the shelf life while the store manager is not paying attention, so as to avoid any illegal operations."

Zhou Da laughed broadly, "As expected of Pavilion Master Ji, it was worth the money I spent asking you to guide me through this."

After listening to the method proposed by Ji Zehan, Song Xiaoyan and Qin Zhengyi looked at each other and decided to do the same.

Everyone walked out of the dormitory with their own thoughts, only Mo Qianhe was in a relaxed mood.

There's nothing we can do about it, since Xiaoxianyu is a conscientious business.

The food court returned to its appearance during the daytime of the previous day, with various food shops standing on the circular platform and small stalls between the shops.

Before the square opens for business, there is still some free time for players to choose a part-time store.

They all tacitly chose the place where they had worked the day before.

But the bosses' attitudes have changed.

"Cut my salary? Why? Why didn't my colleagues' salaries get cut?!" Zhou Da's voice rang out in the fried skewers shop.

Ji Zehan, who was standing next to Zhou Dada, had his nose pointed at, but he didn't show much emotion and just waited quietly for his boss's answer.

Seeing that Zhou Da's attitude was not good, the owner of the fried skewers shop did not hesitate and pulled up the surveillance footage from the previous day and said, "How dare you ask me this?

"Look at how lazy you were yesterday. You didn't even do a third of what other people did.

"It's a great mercy for me to continue employing you. Believe it or not, I'm going to fire you right now!"

Although Zhou Dazhi was in the wrong, he was not at all weak in momentum. He turned around and left: "I'll quit if I want to. I don't want to work here anymore! Pavilion Master Ji, let's go!

"You want to cheat me out of my salary? I'll leave you with no part-time workers!"

Ji Zehan nodded slightly to the owner of the fried skewers shop, following roughly the same steps as last week.

The owner of the fried skewers shop was left furious in the shop: "Okay, okay, you better not beg me to come back!"

"Idiot, please I'm a dog!" Zhou Dada spat and walked forward swaggeringly.

The same situation occurred in the milk tea shop at this time.

The milk tea shop owner looked embarrassed and said, "It's not that I intentionally want to reduce your wages. It's just that your performance yesterday really didn't live up to the 200 food coins I offered you.

"As you know, my salary is the highest in our entire food court. Yet you brought your emotions into the store and made a scene.

"But don't worry, as long as you perform well today, I will give you bonuses to make up for the money you are short of, and there will be extra money."

Song Xiaoyan and Qin Zhengyi weighed the pros and cons and felt that even if the salary here was reduced, it was still higher than other stores. It would be better to stay here and avoid finding a new job, so they reluctantly agreed.

The boss was very happy to see that the two agreed, and asked why the other girl didn't come.

The two childhood friends then realized that Feng Xiansu, who had walked out of the dormitory with them, was not there.

Feng Xiansu carefully hid her figure at the billboard at the back door of the milk tea shop and said to the stinky tofu vendor in front of her, "Does yesterday's proposal still count?

"If I help you shut down the milk tea shop, how much money can you give me?"

When Mo Qianhe arrived at the bun shop, he saw Liu Tang thinking hard.

"What's wrong?" Mo Qianhe asked the other party.

Liu Tang looked embarrassed and said, "My handsome employee, our store is currently struggling to make a profit. Can you reduce our salary?

"It won't be much lower. Didn't I ask you to help me get some information yesterday so I could raise your price to 165 Food Coins?

"How about lowering the price back to 150 Food Coins today?"

Mo Qianhe didn't care about the dozen dollars. After all, he was now the player with the largest deposit in the entire dungeon, and he was far ahead of others.

What he cares more about is: "What will happen if the store manager causes poor profit figures?"

Liu Tang wanted to give a wry smile, but his chubby face turned out to be a very strange smile, which made Mo Qianhe unable to read his emotions for a moment.

Fortunately, we can get a glimpse of this from his answer: "I will be replaced."

Mo Qianhe was a little surprised. It turns out that the NPC’s boss identity can be replaced?

At this moment, Liu Tang received a message from his silly nephew: "Uncle, prepare the money. There's going to be a big mess at that milk tea shop today! It might even collapse!"

Liu Tang felt a darkness before his eyes. He wondered if this silly nephew was going to do something illegal again!

In the Zao Zhan Shao Bing shop, Jiang Minxu, the president of the Po Shan Guild, is trying to persuade the boss not to rebake and sell the leftover cookies from the previous day.

"Then the pancake is wasted." The shadow of the pancake crust on the boss's head wrinkled together, and he looked distressed.

Chairman Jiang suggested: "I heard that the manager of the bun shop will sell 20% off the remaining stock before closing every day. We can also try this method."

The boss hesitated and was not very happy.

Jiang Minxu knew that this would make his boss earn less, so it was normal for the other party to disagree.

He calculated the difference of 20% off the price, and then said to the boss: "When the time comes, you can deduct the 20% off your profit from my salary. What do you think?"

The boss turned the light strip on his neck and felt that this method was quite reasonable. He would not lose money, and it could also ensure the freshness of the ingredients and be more in line with food hygiene and safety.

He turned around and looked at the leftover cakes from last night, then looked at the part-time employee in front of him and said, "We can't let these cakes go to waste, right?"

Jiang Minxu had figured out the boss's intentions and proposed a solution: "How about this, you just sell all these cakes to me, and I will put them in the slop bucket and wait for the pig farm staff to come and collect them in the evening.

"Just calculate how much it is together, and I'll transfer it directly to you."

The boss counted them and said, "A total of 65 food coins."

Jiang Minxu transferred the corresponding amount to the boss without hesitation, turned around and emptied all the leftover cakes from the previous day in the freezer and threw them into the泔水袋 at the back door of the store.

After finishing his work, Jiang Minxu walked to the front of the store and saw that the boss was modifying the recruitment information and reducing the daily salary from 170 food coins to 155 food coins.

Jiang Minxu did some calculations in his head and figured that the deduction was almost 20% of the price of the cake he had just thrown away.

When the boss saw Jiang Minxu coming back, he gave him an ugly smile and said, "Go find a part-time job at another store today. I'm going to recruit again."

Jiang Minxu was slightly stunned and asked, "Is it because you want a pay cut? 155 Food Coins, I can accept it."

The boss waved his hand and replied, “It has nothing to do with this. I just don’t like employees who tell me what to do.

"You are a young man with great ideas. My small temple cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you. I believe that other stores will allow you to continue to shine."

Jiang Minxu had also thought that he would be fired for questioning his boss's decision.

He just didn't expect that the boss was so cunning as to use his cost-cutting ideas and squeezed some of his money back before firing him.

Being severely tricked by the NPC made him feel depressed and helpless.

Jiang Minxu did not argue with his boss in a fit of rage. This is his self-control.

Besides, he had seen Zhou Youwei being beaten up by the stinky tofu stall owner yesterday, and he knew that he would get nothing good if he argued with the NPC.

After returning the chip that proved his part-time job identity to his boss, he turned and left the shop and checked his account balance.

Yesterday I received 170 food coins, spent 20 on accommodation, and had 50 deducted as a penalty. Now my boss has taken another 65 from me, leaving me with a balance of 35 food coins.

It seems that it is not easy to clear this copy.

Fortunately, he at least prevented the boss from continuing to sell stale cakes today, and he also contributed to slowing down the Boss unlocking process.

Wait a moment……

If he doesn't work at this dregs pancake shop today, and no other players are working there, then this shop isn't a shop for players to work at...

So whether this store violates the rules or not will not affect the boss unlocking level...

When Jiang Minxu thought of this, he felt that his 65 coins had been wasted, and his heart was bleeding.

I hope someone will apply for a job at this store... although the possibility is very small.

When Feng Xiansu arrived at the milk tea shop, it was only ten minutes before the food court opened.

The boss greeted her sarcastically: "Oh, you're finally here. I thought you were quitting."

There was no light in Feng Xiansu's eyes. She just bowed to the boss and walked towards the preparation room.

The boss stopped her and said, "Your salary today is the same as yesterday, 100 food coins a day. Is that okay?"

Feng Xiansu still said nothing, nodded, and walked past the boss to the preparation room.

The boss didn't care about the employee's indifferent expression. She just hated herself for not asking for a lower salary when she saw that the person agreed so readily.
