Having been given a way out by Yin Zhu, Chen Lvdou's expression naturally softened considerably: "Sister Sun, are all highly intelligent people like this?"
"There's no need to flatter me. I'm just a bit more observant." Actually, I'm just better at making things up.
Yin Zhu corrected herself in her mind.
“Sister Sun, I often feel like I’m very unlucky, and I encounter all sorts of unlucky things.” Chen Lvdou sighed and said, “When I was in elementary school, some people bullied me. At that time, my parents only cared about my brother’s high school entrance exam, and no one stood up for me. I could only endure it.”
Later, in college, I got a girlfriend, but she cheated on me with a rich second-generation heir and complained that I wasn't manly enough.
After I started working, I offended a relative of one of the company's bosses, and the boss started giving me a hard time. No matter how hard I tried to please him, he ignored me. That's when I realized that people in high positions have no sympathy for someone like me; in their eyes, it's perfectly reasonable for me to fawn over them.
Ultimately, I left the company and stayed at home unemployed. Because I'm not young anymore, my neighbors often gossiped about me behind my back, which was very annoying.
Then my niece was being bullied, and I stood up for her... After that, I was invited to come to Sin City.
Chen Lvdou recounted his life story in a slow, poignant and helpless manner, but Yin Zhu, who was adept at playing word games, had already discerned the underlying meaning: it was less a history of misfortune and more a history of crime.
Apart from explicitly mentioning that he tolerated it when he was in elementary school, Chen Lvdou only expressed his dissatisfaction in other places.
He started by murdering his girlfriend, then his boss, and his increasingly violent emotions led him to target his neighbors. Yin Zhu squinted, adding in his mind: "And his description is embellished because he himself believes he is guilty; the victims are probably not as vicious as he portrays them."
Otherwise, when it comes to crime, he wouldn't have initially only mentioned his niece.
Chen Lvdou has a sense of right and wrong, so he habitually avoids talking about his mistakes and often bows down to the strong. However, once he is angered and given the opportunity, he will bite back fiercely.
Like a venomous snake.
"Beep—"
The notice on the supermarket's glass door interrupted Yin Zhu and Chen Lvdou's chatter as a serious-looking man in a suit walked in.
"Good morning, store manager!" Chen Lvdou shouted immediately.
Somehow he knew, but when he saw Yin Zhu's expression, it became very subtle: "Chen Lvdou, you have violated the salesperson's code of conduct by chatting with customers during work hours." As he spoke, he was about to grab him.
"Wait a moment."
Yin Zhu stepped forward, standing between the two people: "I'm not a guest, he didn't violate any rules. I'm here to apply for a job as a prospective employee."
The store manager's expression became even more subtle: "Customers cannot stay in the store for more than..."
"I am not a guest."
Yin Zhu emphasized this again.
“I won’t accept your job application; you’re a customer.” The store manager glared at Yin Zhu. “And customers can’t stay in the supermarket for more than an hour; otherwise, they should become merchandise here.”
"Even if you don't agree, I'm not a guest; I'm just a job seeker who failed the interview."
Yin Zhu's palms were sweating slightly, but she showed no intention of backing down: "The customers you're talking about are people who come to your supermarket with money to buy things, but my purpose is to find a job, not to buy things. I don't fit the definition of a customer at all. Even if you don't let me work here, I'm still a job seeker who failed to find a job, not a customer who comes to shop here."
...
"Yin Zhu encountered an instant death incident."
Yoshiyuki pushed up her glasses and pulled up a live stream recording of a chosen one from a small country for everyone in the room. However, the chosen one instinctively took off running, thinking that he would be fine once he got out of the supermarket, but ended up crashing into the doorway.
Yes, the glass door didn't open; it was like a lump of liquid that enveloped people and then melted them away.
hiss--
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Even more so, the audience can clearly hear the desperate screams of people before they are melted away and the sound of the mysterious substance melting flesh.
Mo You adjusted her glasses and said, "As long as Yin Zhu doesn't give in, the shop manager can't do anything to her. Yin Zhu's talent allows her to interfere with the rules. Right now, the nonsense they're spouting is about the definition of the word 'guest,' but in this respect, Yin Zhu clearly has the advantage."
Just as Mo You said, the store manager soon gave up.
He suddenly smiled, as if he wasn't the one who wanted Yin Zhu to break the rules and kill her just a second ago: "Welcome to the [Tongfu Inn] supermarket. I believe you will be an excellent employee."
"Thank you, I think so too. So what should I be aware of?"
Yin Zhu also smiled and set a trap for the other party, saying, "If you don't mention anything, I'll assume that you're special to me and that I don't need to follow those rules."
"The store manager's temple throbbed; he's very angry," Yu Qi from the think tank muttered softly.
However, the store manager was angry, but the procedures still had to be followed.
He handed Yin Zhu a piece of paper with the rules written on it, and said through gritted teeth, "Your shift is from midnight to 6 a.m. tomorrow. Don't let me find out you're late, or I'll catch you no matter where you run off to."
Can Blue Star be used too?
Yin Zhu didn't ask, because she suspected the other person was completely incapable.
"Now, you can leave."
The store manager, tired of wearing a gentle mask, realized that this new employee was not one of those new citizens he could easily manipulate.
The shopkeeper gave Chen Lvdou another deep look and smiled mysteriously: "You too, you have to follow the rules properly."
Then he returned to his office.
Yin Zhu shrugged: "Then I'll be going now. The employee handbook says that employees are not allowed to stay in the supermarket for more than ten minutes outside of their working hours. See you next time."
Chen Lvdou said goodbye to her tremblingly, "Thank you... thank you for your patronage."
"Oh dear, I already told you I'm not a guest."
Yin Zhu left the supermarket with a forced smile, then quickly wiped it off. As she walked towards her new home, she asked Jing Gui, "Is the store manager the supervisor?"
"It must have felt...terrifying...I thought I was going to die with you..."
"Then are you considered a guest?"
Yin Zhu suddenly paused, remembering the incredibly complicated look in the store manager's eyes when he looked at her.
