"Excuse me, host, are you teleporting to all territories—Red Moon Convenience Store?"
"Yes." Qin Nuo nodded.
As soon as the sound fell, his vision was covered by white light, and the stimulation to his eyeballs forced him to close his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, I was on a cobblestone path by the road.
At the end of the cobblestone stretch is the Hongyue Convenience Store.
When I came back again, the store had undergone a new round of changes in its appearance.
There is an additional fence at the entrance of the store, which transforms the enclosed area into a small garden. The trees, flowers and plants have been carefully trimmed. There are also many things decorated at the entrance. In addition to potted plants, there are also two stone lions, chairs outside the store, and so on.
Li Tongtong was wearing a maid outfit, holding a shower head, humming a little song while watering the flowers and plants she planted.
The fence was opened and Qin Nuo walked in.
"Welcome, our shop is not doing well and is about to be transferred. Now we are having a big sale and all the goods are sold at a low price. Don't miss it!" Li Tongtong recited the script she knew by heart while watering the flowers.
Qin Nuo frowned: "Transfer, did I say that?"
Li Tongtong was startled. She turned around and saw Qin Nuo, who seemed to be smiling. She quickly stood up and threw the shower head aside: "Boss, are you back from your business trip?"
"What I just said was all intentional. It was a marketing ploy to trick some idiots!"
"Did you also make the shop look like this?"
"Yes, isn't it much more beautiful now?" Li Tongtong looked as if she was asking for credit or reward.
Qin Nuo immediately poured a basin of cold water on him: "This is my shop, not your little love house. There are too many unfounded things here. If you don't know, you might think it's a sex shop."
Li Tongtong lowered her head: "Oh."
"Where's Yuan Shan?"
"He's counting the goods inside."
After that, Li Tongtong whispered a small report: "This guy has been absent from work these past few days and even stole the self-heating oden that was about to expire in the store."
"To others, snitching is wrong, but to me, you did the right thing."
Qin Nuo patted Li Tongtong's shoulder and walked into the store.
The inside of the store was much better than the last surprise inspection. The floor was clean and tidy, and the shelves were neatly arranged. However, there were not many customers, so it was still very quiet.
Yuan Shan was holding a chicken feather blanket and cleaning things on the shelves while yawning.
A white shadow moved between the shelves, then walked to the front desk holding two black packaging boxes.
Li Tongtong hurried to the front desk to check out.
Bai Ying glanced at Qin Nuo and was slightly surprised: "Why is there an old..."
Halfway through his words, Bai Ying's gaze shifted to Qin Nuo's right arm, and then he stopped talking.
Li Tongtong handed over the merchandise and said with a forced smile, "Guest, this is our boss!"
Bai Ying's eyes were filled with surprise and confusion.
Feeling Li Tongtong's malice, he stopped talking and quickly left the store.
Over there, Yuan Shan saw Qin Nuo and quickly came out with a feather blanket, greeting him politely: "Boss."
Qin Nuo nodded and said to Li Tongtong, "Show me the account book."
Li Tongtong quickly took out a thick, old account book from the drawer and handed it over obediently.
Qin Nuo took it and took a look at it. At first he pretended to be thoughtful, but soon he found that he could not understand a single word.
Really ghost painting!
Closing the account book, Qin Nuo simply asked, "How is the store's profit these days?"
"It's starting to get better, but we're still losing money," Li Tongtong said helplessly.
"The convenience store across the street saw our store had been renovated and completely renovated itself, then opened two more branches, completely blocking the flow of customers at all the intersections with the stores, making our street completely deserted."
"Moreover, without supply, many goods have expired," Yuan Shan added.
"The owner of the Bi'an Convenience Store has been targeting us. If this continues..."
"Last night, several dark shadows sneaked into the store and wanted to do something bad. I found them and strangled one of them to death. The others ran away." Li Tongtong said, waving her little fist.
"It's the clerk at the convenience store across the street."
Qin Nuo frowned and asked, "Is it so targeted?"
"Several nearby stores have gone bankrupt. They want to dominate the market alone, and we are the last one," said Yuan Shan.
Qin Nuo walked to the door and looked across the street.
In the hazy white fog, the outline of a convenience store can be vaguely seen, glowing red.
Qin Nuo walked back. Li Tongtong and Yuan Shan looked at each other and asked, "Boss, are you planning to run away?"
Qin Nuo was a little amused: "Why run away? We haven't gone bankrupt yet!"
"But they are too big. Our store area is not even half of theirs, and we can't compare with them in terms of traffic and investment. The key is that our supply of goods is still a problem." Yuan Shan said with slumped shoulders.
Qin Nuo found a chair and sat down, placing his hands on the table and crossing his fingers: "So we need a professional ghost to help us run the business."
"I guess no one wants to come." Yuan Shan muttered softly.
"I have already recruited him." Qin Nuo said.
Then, ignoring the surprised looks of Li Tongtong and Yuan Shan, Qin Nuo opened the system mall.
When the player's level is raised to level 3, many products are unlocked, including the position of "Deputy Store Manager".
"The price is 6200 ghost coins!"
Qin Nuo's eyelids twitched.
His entire savings now amounted to just over 10,000 ghost coins, and this one job posting alone cost him half of his worth!
Moreover, this is just the purchase price. The monthly salary is found to be twice as high as Li Tongtong and Yuan Shan's during the two-month probation period.
But after just a moment's thought, Qin Nuo confirmed the purchase.
With money comes responsibility. The deputy store owner is responsible for managing store employees, finding sources of goods, and running the store.
It’s a bit expensive, but worth it!
In the future, if you make a profit, it means continuous profits, and you can live a comfortable life by just sitting back and collecting money.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for unlocking the position of "Deputy Shopkeeper". The best candidate for the position has been found and will arrive at the store in two minutes!"
"So simple and so efficient?" Qin Nuo was stunned and a little surprised.
Li Tongtong and Yuan Shan were still confused.
Soon, there was a noise outside the door.
"jingle!"
Then the shop door opened and the bell on the door rang.
An elderly man dressed in a suit, looking smart and handsome, walked in carrying a suitcase.
The old man had a mustache, was serious, had gray hair combed meticulously, had deep eyes, and exuded an inexplicable charm, with a full and mysterious aura.
Li Tongtong hurried to the cashier, looked at the old man, and thought to herself that he was quite handsome. She smiled and said, "Hello, what would you like to buy?"
"My name is Liao Shen, and I'm here to apply for the position of deputy store manager."
The old man put down the suitcase and his voice was magnetic.
