Kuroki Yueyi dared not underestimate the young man before him, especially since he greatly admired Ning Zhiheng's calligraphy and was very satisfied with Ning Zhiheng.
He laughed heartily and said, "I never expected that a job posting like today would attract Fujiwara-kun to come. Well then, it's settled then. I wonder when Fujiwara-kun can start work?"
Ning Zhiheng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly nodded and said, "I can start work anytime, today!"
The joy in his words was palpable, which made Kuroki Takeichi somewhat emotional. It seemed that this young man had suffered a lot and must be living in dire straits.
He called over the staff member from earlier and said, "Fukui, Fujiwara-kun will be working at the library from now on. Tell him about Fukaya's job duties and make sure he helps him wholeheartedly, understand?"
Fukui was a very clever person. As soon as he heard the curator's address, he knew that Ning Zhiheng had not simply succeeded in getting the job. You know, in Japan, people address others as "kun" (君), although it is just a polite term, usually used by elders to address younger people or between peers.
However, this form of address does contain the meaning of honorifics, which means that the other person has been placed in a relatively respectful position.
For example, Kuroki Takeichi never addresses Fukaya Keita and Fukui Yuuma as "kun" (君), but always addresses them by their surnames, calling them Fukaya or Fukui.
It is clear that Ning Zhiheng holds a certain position in the heart of Director Kuroki Yueyi.
"Yes, sir!" Fukui quickly nodded in agreement.
After saying that, he led Ning Zhiheng out of Kuroki Yueyi's office and into the work area on the first floor.
He smiled and said to Ning Zhiheng, "Fujiwara-kun, my name is Fukui Yuzuru. It seems I wasn't wrong, we really are colleagues now! Haha, just now several people saw the job posting and wanted to apply, but I told them I had already found someone and chased them all away."
Hearing his flattery, Ning Zhiheng bowed slightly and thanked him, saying, "Mr. Fukui, thank you so much. Please take care of me in the future!"
In this way, Ning Zhiheng successfully found a job without any obstacles and became a librarian at Nanwu Bookstore.
Nanwu Bookstore has only six employees in total. They don't get lunch during the lunch break, so the staff can go home to eat and rest, and then come back to work in the afternoon.
Ning Zhiheng returned to his residence at noon. Yoshimura Yuta saw Ning Zhiheng return and quickly asked, "Fujiwara-kun, you were out all morning. How did the job search go? That job at the Minamiya Bookstore must have been hard to find, right? But it's okay if you didn't succeed this time. You can take your time!"
Hearing his incessant chatter, Ning Zhiheng could only smile and reply, "Mr. Yoshimura, today went very smoothly. I'm already working at the Nanya Bookstore. I'll come back to rest for a bit and then go back to work this afternoon. May I have lunch with you from now on?"
Ning Zhiheng himself was indeed not in a position to cook, and besides, he had never cooked before. Moreover, he was unwilling to contact the Yoshimura family before because he was worried that he would give himself away during the contact. However, he found that the Yoshimura family did not suspect him. In addition, he found that his Japanese level was improving rapidly during his contact with them. Furthermore, maintaining a good relationship with them would also be a way to cover up his identity. Therefore, he decided to get closer to the Yoshimura family.
"That's wonderful! Fujiwara-kun, we're family now. Come in, please come in. Masakazu and Kumiko will be back soon. Let's have a drink at noon to celebrate you finding such a great job." Yoshimura Yuta was overjoyed to hear Ning Zhiheng's words. He stepped forward, took Ning Zhiheng's hand, and pulled him into his home.
A short while later, Yoshimura Masakazu, dressed in a police uniform, and his younger sister Kumiko returned home from get off work. They were overjoyed to hear that Ning Zhiheng had been hired.
Kumiko said with a smile, "Fujiwara-kun is so outstanding! I've heard that working at Minamiya Bookstore is a great job. The salary is high, the working environment is good, and you can read all kinds of books anytime, anywhere. It's wonderful!"
After saying that, her eyes were filled with envy, and her gaze towards Ning Zhiheng became even more tender, making Yoshimura Masakazu, who was standing next to her, feel a little nauseous. He quickly shouted, "Then what are we waiting for! We should celebrate today, Fujiwara-kun, let's have a good drink!"
