Chapter 37
Fortunately, Gu Xiao didn't care much.
Except for the person in question, Long, who was obviously very concerned and had a stern face, the others quickly put this little episode behind them - their attention had long been attracted by the sumptuous dishes on the next table.
"Wait a moment, I'll get you onboarded, and you don't need to pay when you pick up your food." Shu Mo said, calling up the business panel.
The system responded quickly. Almost the next second after she finished speaking, a series of new reminders popped up in front of her.
【Player "Gu Xiao" has become your employee! 】
【Salary: 50 points/day, paid daily. 】

There is no rush for other things. Shu Mo added this clause to the terms of treatment and restrictions: "Employees can eat for free in restaurants and simple stalls and other food areas, but they are not allowed to put food in their backpacks or resell it."
The next moment, a pop-up window popped up in front of the four people who had been impatient for a long time.
[Congratulations on becoming a formal employee of Nuannuan Hot Spring! You can now eat for free in the dining area! 】
【Please take food according to your ability to avoid waste. 】
Four pairs of eyes lit up.
Shu Mo briefly introduced the restaurant's operating mechanism to everyone and directed them to the long table in the corner to pick up their food.
The lunch dishes were as sumptuous as usual. Shu Mo even added two dinner dishes to welcome the four people.
Mouth-watering chicken, mapo tofu, stir-fried zucchini, pickled pork with preserved vegetables... and freshly baked crispy apple pie for dessert.
There are both meat and vegetarian dishes, light dishes and heavier dishes, trying to satisfy the taste preferences of different customers as much as possible. The steaming delicacies are packed in thermal boxes and neatly arranged on the long table, which makes people dazzled and drool.
When he returned with the tray, the four of them had been completely conquered.
"Boss, I am willing to be your employee for life!" Gu Xiao picked up a piece of drooling chicken with chopsticks and asked sincerely, "Do we have a long-term contract of more than 20 years? If not, signing a contract of sale will be fine."
When she walked over just now, Gu Xiao saw the bright red chili oil at a glance. She was from Sichuan and Chongqing, so she couldn't move her feet immediately.
Liu Yan kept picking up food for Liu Xueruo. She watched her pale cheeks turn red after taking a few sips of hot soup. She was so happy that her eyes turned red. "That's great. Eat more..."
Liu Xueruo's face was puffed up a little, and she also picked up some food for her, "Mom, you should try it too, the bamboo shoots in the pickled pork with preserved vegetables are so delicious."
Yao Yonghui didn't say anything. He just buried his head in his food and devoured it. He swept away his share of the food on the table like a whirlwind, then stood up silently and brought over two bowls of rice.
Shu Mo could see a silent joy from his silent figure.
After the meal, Shu Mo handed the front desk to the reliable old employee Mo Bai and took the four of them to the staff dormitory.
Liu Xueruo was fine, as she was sitting in a wheelchair and didn't need to move much, but the remaining three were so exhausted that they could hardly walk. Shu Mo slowed down his pace and introduced several existing facilities to them one by one, including hot spring pools, simple stalls, and mobile stalls.
"Employees are not allowed to use the hot springs during working hours. If you want to soak in it, you can wait until closing time. Our current business hours are from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.."
Shu Mo said as he walked out of the cabin and onto the gravel road. On the way, we passed a small pavilion hidden in the bamboo forest and stopped to introduce, "This is a foot spa, which is limited to 30 minutes, but when there are few people, most people will extend it for a while... Ring the bell at the front desk and you will be reminded. Then Xiaoxiao will be needed to deliver the food."
She rang the bell, making a clear and pleasant sound.
Gu Xiao nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry!"
Shu Mo had already made a rough division of labor during the meal. Gu Xiao originally had experience working as a receptionist at a hotel. After arriving at Nuannuan Hot Spring, the tasks of receiving guests and doing the cashiering naturally fell on her.
Liu Yan is responsible for tidying up the guest rooms, replenishing toiletries on a regular basis, collecting towels that are not put into the recycling basket in the women's bath, and other miscellaneous tasks. Although the hotel will automatically refresh the sheets and bedding after the customers check out, some permanent guests also have tidying up needs, and this part will be handed over to Liu Yan, who has experience in home nannying.
And Yao Yonghui's work accidentally confirmed his speculation on the road.
——Bus driver.
"The Arctic Fox Bus is expected to officially start operating in three days, with two trips a day. Brother Yao, you need to escort it throughout the journey." Shu Mo explained, "In fact, the strength of the mimics is enough to deal with most of the dangers on the road, but there will inevitably be some unexpected situations that need to be handled by human players."
Yao Yonghui had never belonged to a team before and was used to being alone. He was also quite familiar with the dangers lurking in this gaming continent. There was no one more suitable to follow the car than him.
Of course Mo Bai can do it, but he is too young and not as tall and strong as Yao Yonghui who has a deterrent effect. The latter got out of the car and thrust his sword towards that side without even having to use his strength. The visual effect was quite shocking.
As they talked, they had already reached the staff dormitory building.
Shu Mo opened the door. "This is the dormitory. Each person has a room. There is a name tag on the door and the key is hung under the name tag. Xue Rou and Sister Yan can live in the same room. Is that okay?"
She saw Liu Xueruo and her daughter nodded, and then continued in a light tone.
"There is a water room at the end of the corridor. You can go there to get drinking water. Hot water is available in the room 24 hours a day. I won't go into more details. You can go in and take a look for yourself."
"You will stay in your room to clean up in the afternoon and gather in the main building lobby around four o'clock."
Gu Xiao and Liu Yan were both so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths as they looked at the clean and bright building in front of them in shock.
The corridor is brightly lit, all facilities are brand new, and the walls are painted clean and white. They looked down at the snow and mud stains on their shoes, and rubbed them hard on the carpet at the door in a hurry.
Even Yao Yonghui held his breath unconsciously.
Gu Xiao was the first to cheer and run to find his room, followed by Yao Yonghui. Liu Yan was about to push Liu Xueruo's wheelchair when the latter suddenly said, "Um, boss."
Shu Mo, who was about to leave, stopped and said, "Huh?"
"You haven't assigned me a job yet." Liu Xueruo clutched the corner of her clothes.
Facing the girl who was obviously several years younger than her, she still respectfully called her boss and even used a respectful title.
She was afraid that Shu Mo would forget about her, or treat her specially because of her body. Her dark, clear eyes showed obvious nervousness. "You can arrange whatever you want. I can do anything."
Shu Mo thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to hand over the restaurant to you. You need to prepare three meals a day before business hours start, and you can always make up for it during the day."
"No problem!" Liu Xueruo nodded repeatedly and asked, "Besides that... the restaurant is open for a limited time, right?"
Shu Mo smiled. There were actually people who took the initiative to take work for her. Were all the employees in their company led astray by the little black dragon? Such a positive work attitude.
She tapped her chin with her index finger. "It's outside the restaurant's business hours. Let's talk about it when you guys report to the lobby this afternoon."
"Okay, let's go check out the room. We're going to be staying here for a long time."
Shu Mo waved his hand.
Liu Xueruo looked at her, blinked, and nodded obediently.
*
In order to create a sense of surprise for the employees, Shu Mo deliberately did not mention the specific layout of the room, leaving it for them to discover it themselves.
So after opening the door and taking a look around without any preparation, Gu Xiao was almost overwhelmed by ecstasy.
Compared to the small and shabby house she had saved up for several years of work to buy, the staff dormitory allocated by Nuannuan Hot Spring was as luxurious as a five-star hotel.
The room has excellent lighting and complete facilities, and the bathroom and shower room are even separated into dry and wet areas. Gu Xiao tried to turn on the faucet and turned it to the red side. After a while, the water gradually became warm. When he turned it to the end, it was even a little hot.
She endured the scalding for half a minute before she reluctantly took it away.
The soap provided had a light lavender scent. After washing his hands, Gu Xiao covered his face, took a deep breath, turned his head and threw himself onto the bed, sinking into the soft bed.
The three-piece set on the bed was also new, warm and soft, with the smell of sunshine. Gu Xiao felt like he was lying on a fluffy cloud, and his whole body was dizzy.
She stared blankly at the bright lights on the ceiling, feeling a sense of unreality.
This room actually belongs to her from now on?
She can decorate the room as she pleases, stay here as long as she wants, doesn't have to pay rent, and doesn't have to worry about being kicked out?
Thinking about being able to come back and take a comfortable hot bath after finishing a day's work, Gu Xiao suddenly became full of enthusiasm for the upcoming work.
She sat up suddenly, took out bags of clothes and other belongings from her backpack and started packing them up.

Liu Xueruo folded clothes while watching Liu Yan busying around. The mother's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy, and she also laughed, "Mom, are you relieved now?"
"Fortunately, I didn't listen to what Zhang Ping and the others said." Liu Yan was in high spirits, completely different from the worried look she had in the morning. "Xue Rou, we must work hard in the future and try to stay here in the hot spring."
In a place like this, staying one more day is a good deal.
"Yeah." Liu Xueruo nodded gently, her ears tinged with a blush, "The boss and Xiaoxiao are very nice people. I really want to get closer to them."
Liu Xueruo has been staying at home for a long time, and the people she interacts with most every day are her mother and her children. She actually doesn’t have many friends. This time, she met two girls of the same age as herself. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was secretly a little excited in her heart.
Including Yao Yonghui and Mo Bai, with whom she would become long-term colleagues in the future, Liu Xueruo's impression of them changed a lot after the meal.
But what she cared about most were Shu Mo and Gu Xiao.
"How can I become friends with them?"
Liu Xueruo began to worry seriously.
"Xue Rou, it's still early before four o'clock. Do you want to take a shower and sleep for a while?" Liu Yan came out of the bathroom and said excitedly, "I've checked. There is a small stool in the shower room. You can sit there while taking a shower. It's quite convenient."
"Mom, you go first." Liu Xueruo came back to her senses, "I'll fold the clothes and then wash them."
"Okay." Liu Yan responded, and soon the sound of running water was heard in the bathroom.
She took a good shower. The hot water with a sulphur smell washed away all the fatigue and dirt on her body, bringing a refreshing feeling deep into her bones. When turning off the shower head, Liu Yan let out a long breath, feeling that she hadn't felt so happy in years.
"This hot spring is such a treasure!" She dried herself and came out, exclaiming to her daughter.
But she found that her daughter's eyes suddenly widened the moment she saw her.
Liu Yan was stunned and joked, "Why, you don't even recognize your mother?"
"No, Mom, I just think you look so young..." Liu Xueruo opened her mouth slightly.
Not only have the lines around his eyes and forehead faded a lot, but even the color of his silver hair has changed slightly. His whole spirit is completely different and he looks radiant.
Liu Xueruo looked at her mother who looked so energetic and seemed to be back in her childhood, before the nightmare came.
Before I knew it, tears were already falling.
Liu Yan didn't have time to check her appearance in the mirror, but when she saw her daughter crying, she guessed something and quickly grabbed Liu Xueruo's trembling hand with heartache, "Don't cry, don't cry, didn't mom tell you a long time ago that things will get better and better..."
Liu Xueruo snuggled in her mother's arms and choked with sobs as she uttered "hmm".

Shu Mo returned to the main building in a good mood.
Compared to the loneliness when I first came to this world, the hot springs are now much more lively.
Moreover, with the increase in employees, her workload has been greatly reduced. In the future, all the trivial tasks can be handed over to the employees. As the boss, Shu Mo only needs to plan the development of the hot springs, purchase buildings, and then wait for the points to be credited.
...Shu Mo is still a little uncomfortable with the fact that the game that requires crazy hard work has been transformed into an idle mobile game overnight.
But obviously, this is the normal rhythm of this type of game.
She walked lightly to the restaurant on the second floor.
Lunch time was almost over and there were still a few tables of guests drinking tea and chatting. When they saw her, they smiled and greeted her.
Shu Mo responded to each one with a business smile, and his eyes immediately fell on the semicircular bar inside the restaurant.
The beverage area that was previously conceived could finally be built after the employees arrived at their posts.
She rubbed her hands together, her eyes sparkling.
Since we are going to build a beverage area, the first thing to do is of course... arrange milk tea!
