Chapter 58 Flower Shop



The fifth day of National Day, the second day of looking for a part-time job, Shiqiao Road.

"It's for you."

Mo Jingchun took out a pink and white flower with the hand behind his back and handed it to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li's gaze lingered on the flower for a few seconds, then shifted to Mo Jingchun's face. "What is this?"

"Flowers," Mo Jingchun shook the hand holding the flowers twice, "Why? Don't you like them?"

Jiang Li shook his head, reached out and took the pink and white flower from Mo Jingchun's hand, and stopped the latter from destroying it.

When passers-by saw this scene, they all showed meaningless smiles on their faces.

"Ahem," Jiang Li's fair face was stained with a little blush, just like the pink and white flower in his hand, with a little pink next to the snow-white petals.

"Didn't you say you've found a part-time job?" Jiang Li calmed down. "Where is it? What is it?"

After they returned to Hangzhou from the Blue Bay Fishery yesterday, they began to help Jiang Li find a part-time job.

Mo Jingchun made a list at that time and looked for many places around the school, but they all rejected Jiang Li after hearing that she could only work four days a month.

The study time in high school is very tight, and even these four days are squeezed out by sacrificing holidays.

I found nothing yesterday, and in the blink of an eye it’s the fifth day of the National Day holiday. If I don’t find a part-time job during the National Day holiday, I will have even less time to look for one later.

"Don't be anxious," Mo Jingchun said mysteriously, "Follow me first."

Jiang Li followed Mo Jingchun. They crossed the road and turned several times before finally entering an alley. At the end of the alley, near the intersection of Shiqiao Road, there was a flower shop.

"Xingyue Flower Shop."

Jiang Li raised his head and muttered to himself while looking at the flower shop in front of him.

Then she turned around and looked at Mo Jingchun next to her, only to find that the latter was staring at her with great interest.

"How is it? This place is much better than your previous place, right?" Mo Jingchun said with some pride.

Jiang Li stared at the job advertisement posted outside the flower shop. "Have you negotiated with the boss?"

After hearing what Jiang Li said, Mo Jingchun's originally smug expression fell again. He coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, "Aren't we waiting for you to come?"

Jiang Li nodded and led the way into the flower shop.

Like many flower shops, what catches the eye are various green plants. Xingyue Flower Shop has a small garden surrounded by lights emitting colorful lights, and the outermost part of the garden is filled with various digging or spraying tools.

Jiang Li and Mo Jingchun continued to walk forward. Inside, there were two rows of wooden stands with flowers of various colors on them, including yellow carnations, pure white lilies, as well as tulips, sunflowers and daisies that were about to bloom.

The colorful flowers appear more vibrant against the backdrop of green leaves.

Jiang Li took a deep breath and greedily sniffed the floral fragrance in the air. This was Jiang Li's first time in a flower shop, but the unknown pink and white flower tightly held in her right hand told her that she had fallen in love with this place.

Mo Jingchun secretly observed Jiang Li, and after seeing the latter's expression, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy about his own judgment.

Sure enough, all girls like flowers.

The two of them were standing in a bright and cozy little room, the front of which was covered by a huge floor-to-ceiling window, making the entire shop look particularly bright. A variety of flowers were displayed in the window, and they looked particularly beautiful under the soft light.

Various exquisite potted plants are placed around the flower shop, such as green ivy, spider plants and Christmas cacti.

They appear vibrant under the warm light, adding vitality and energy to the entire space. Hanging on the wall are some paintings depicting blooming flowers, which complement the atmosphere of the entire flower shop.

"Mo...are you two here to buy flowers?"

At this time, the owner of the flower shop walked out and came to the two of them.

The owner of the flower shop was a kind and amiable middle-aged woman. She was wearing a clean and tidy apron, and there was some pink juice on her hands, as if she had just been packing flowers for a customer.

"Ahem, boss, we're here to interview for a part-time job." Mo Jingchun coughed and pointed at Jiang Li next to him. "What do you think of her? She's efficient and diligent at work. Most importantly, she's responsible, loves flowers and plants, and is compassionate and kind."

"Mo Jingchun!" Jiang Li interrupted him hastily, "How can you introduce yourself like that?"

However, unexpectedly, the female store manager agreed immediately.

"Yes, our Xingyue Flower Shop needs talents like you right now." The female manager nodded and pulled Jiang Li's arm and walked into the flower shop.

Jiang Li's face was filled with confusion. How could this be different from when she was looking for a part-time job?

He subconsciously looked at Mo Jingchun behind him, as if trying to find the answer on his face.

Mo Jingchun didn't say anything, but just followed in with a smile.

Inside the flower shop, there is a long square table painted red as a counter, surrounded by round or square tables, which are piled with various bouquets of flowers and greeting cards.

"Come, take a look at our shop. Your job is to care for the flowers and assist me in completing orders."

The female store manager walked towards one of the unfinished bouquets, rolled up a few pink roses together, and inserted a few small blue flowers for embellishment.

"Not only that, but you can also learn some flower arranging skills."

Jiang Li looked around the flower shop. The space inside was not big. Apart from the female manager in front of him, there seemed to be no other employees.

Jiang Li hesitated for a while. She hadn't told him her situation yet.

"Oh, by the way," the female store manager turned around, and the pink roses in her hand had been wrapped in a piece of colored paper, tied together and placed aside.

"My last name is Shen. You can call me Manager Shen. What's your last name, young lady?"

"You're so polite." Jiang Li replied, "My name is Jiang Li."

"Oh, that's good." Manager Shen retracted his gaze from the side next to Jiang Li, turned around and smiled again, "Now let's talk about our salary and benefits."

"Manager Shen." Jiang Li found an opportunity to explain his situation. "My part-time job is a bit special. I can only come in one day a week, on Sunday. Can you accept that?"

“This…” Manager Shen’s face showed hesitation, as if he had not expected this situation.

Jiang Li looked at Manager Shen in front of him with a hesitant look and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Feeling a slight force on his shoulder, Jiang Li turned his head to look at Mo Jingchun beside him.

"Don't worry." Mo Jingchun put a hand on Jiang Li's shoulder and nodded at her, "You can definitely do it."
