"Hello, are you here to apply? The jobs our company offers are all high-paying and easy. Would you like to give it a try?"
Sitting there was a kind-looking girl with a round face. She very warmly opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Xiaoli.
"Here, have some water. It's so hot outside, sit down and cool off."
Xiao Li accepted the drink without hesitation and said, "It includes food and lodging, right?"
The round-faced girl nodded. "Yes, and they'll refund your deposit once you meet the requirements."
It was this sentence that made Yuan Zhuyi pay the deposit without hesitation.
"Alright, I think the hunting companion job is pretty good, I'll take it."
Xiao Li took out 800 yuan and put it on the table.
The round-faced girl was still a little dazed. "Huh? Oh, okay...okay."
She quickly collected the money and issued a receipt.
"Go to room 301. The bedding is all there. Just go and register."
Xiao Li took the receipt and went to find her room.
The original owner also lived in this room, because they recruited twenty people at a time and then trained them together.
Xiao Li easily found the room. Pushing open the door, she saw a neat row of bunk beds inside.
Twenty people lived in a room of less than twenty square meters. The environment was really too crowded.
"Another new person has arrived."
As the young faces turned to look at her, Xiao Li smiled at them.
"Alright, everyone's here. Training starts tomorrow."
A woman in a business suit came out from behind Xiao Li. She was Wu Yan, the manager in charge of testing and training.
"Great, we can finally begin."
A girl wearing an oversized t-shirt excitedly shouted.
"Let's get some rest early today. Training starts at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
Wu Yan left after she finished speaking, leaving the girls in the room to discuss among themselves.
Some were full of confidence, while others were secretly worried.
Xiao Li climbed into the last bed and went to sleep.
The room was stuffy and hot because there was no air conditioning. She put a cooling talisman on herself and felt instantly more comfortable.
The girl sleeping in the bunk below her also felt much cooler, and she fell asleep enjoying the air conditioning.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the twenty girls, all dressed neatly, stood in the training field to assemble. A hint of contempt flashed in Wu Yan's eyes.
"Alright, let's run ten laps around this track to warm up first."
The girls expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that ten laps were too many, but when Wu Yan brought up the topic of work, everyone immediately fell silent.
The field was as big as a middle school playground. Few people could finish ten laps. After only five laps, only Xiaoli and her bunkmate Zhang Jing were left.
By the eighth lap, only Xiaoli was left.
Wu Yan stared wide-eyed as Xiao Li ran ten laps without blushing or skipping a beat, then stood in front of her.
"Manager Wu, I've finished the ten laps. Do I meet the requirements? Can you assign me some work now?"
Wu Yan stammered, "This is just an appetizer; it's not that easy to meet the standard."
All the girls were a little disappointed and discouraged; running ten laps was just the beginning, and they knew they couldn't reach that goal.
Xiao Li, however, said that there was absolutely no problem.
"What other projects are there? Come on, let's start one by one."
Wu Yan suddenly had a bad feeling. However, no one in her agency had ever met the standards. Besides, whether or not the standards were met was up to her.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved.
"Girls, did you all see that? Gui Xiaoli has completed the task, so please stop saying that my requirements were too high."
Now the girls all looked at Xiaoli with hostility.
Xiao Li smiled and ignored her.
Wu Yan smiled with satisfaction, "The next project is to do 100 push-ups."
Without saying a word, Xiao Li lay down and started.
"98, 99, 100!"
Wow, that's amazing!
The group of girls started by doing it together, but after doing a dozen or twenty, they collapsed. They then sat and watched Xiaoli, and started cheering for her and counting.
After that, Xiaoli did jumping jacks, sit-ups, pull-ups, squats...
Wu Yan looked unwell. She was in charge of training, not as an instructor, and she was helpless when the girls gave up.
Let's call it a day for today, and continue tomorrow.
She was finding it hard to cope and wanted to leave first to go back and think of a better solution.
Xiao Li grabbed her arm. "Manager Wu, I think I've met the requirements, right? When can I start work?"
Wu Yan was a little annoyed. "Gui Xiaoli, you don't meet the standard. You need to continue training."
Xiao Li wasn't angry; she just blocked her way, preventing her from leaving.
"Then tell me, where am I not up to standard, and I'll change it."
Wu Yan was even more speechless.
She felt a little embarrassed facing twenty pairs of eyes.
"Gui Xiaoli, let's go to the office and talk."
"Can I go to work now?"
Wu Yan choked, forced a smile, and nodded.
Xiao Li quickly followed, "Let's go, let's have a good talk."
The two went to the office one after the other.
