If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

"You?" Su Yun looked at Zhou Ye, then subconsciously glanced at the muscles on his arm.

It works, but isn't this just too much of a coincidence?

"Aren't you a fitness instructor?" Su Yun asked.

"To be precise..." Zhou Ye hesitated for a moment, took out his phone, and pulled out the notification in the group chat, "It was like this two minutes ago."

Su Yun: "......."

Chen Yu and Tang Guo: "???"

"You've been fired?" Chen Yu's voice suddenly rose eight octaves.

"No!" Zhou Ye's face darkened, and he quickly corrected him, "What do you mean by 'fired'? I just don't want to work here anymore!"

"You just said it was just a minor problem?"

"Isn't this a minor issue for a mature man?" Zhou Ye said casually.

If he hadn't almost cracked the phone screen with his hand, Chen Yu would have almost believed it.

Tang Guo quietly moved the live stream camera to the side, hoping the audience wouldn't see it.

"So you're really willing to set up a stall with me?" Su Yun asked again to confirm.

"Yes, I'm willing!" Zhou Ye replied almost without hesitation.

He was just wondering what to do next when this job was delivered right to his doorstep, so why not take it?

"But brother, let me ask you something first," Zhou Ye said tentatively, "Does your job include meals?"

"I'll take care of it." Su Yun nodded. He couldn't promise anything else, but he was sure that there would be enough food and money!

"That's fine!" Zhou Ye was immediately relieved. "The salary doesn't need to be too high, just enough for meals every day will do."

"?" Su Yun was stunned by his words. "Your standards are that low, bro?"

"What else can I do? It's good enough to have a job for now." Zhou Ye waved his hand, looking indifferent. "Anyway, I don't have anything else to do right now, so I'll just treat it as a temporary job."

"If I really can't continue doing this, I'll just find some other part-time jobs."

Zhou Ye spoke very sincerely. He really didn't expect to make much money following Su Yun. Setting up a stall on the top of Mount Tai! That kind of thing sounds very unstable. Today the scenic area allows it, tomorrow it might not!

Besides, what normal person would carry hundreds of kilograms of goods to the top of Mount Tai to sell pancakes for a dozen yuan a piece? If you have that skill, wouldn't it be better to just rent a shop in the city? Why bother climbing mountains for hours and exhausting yourself to come to a place like this?

Unless... this guy was also driven to desperation by life and couldn't afford to rent a shop, so he had no choice but to set up a stall in these strange places!

Otherwise, what is it? Do you think they have nothing better to do?

Zhou Ye thought about it more and more and it made more sense. No wonder his older brother didn't say a word of comfort when he heard that he had been fired. It turned out that they were all in the same boat!

A worker who was just kicked out of the gym and a poor boss who set up a stall on the top of Mount Tai to attract attention—neither of them should pity the other!

"Brother, don't worry." Thinking this, Zhou Ye's eyes hardened considerably. "As long as you provide meals, I'll definitely work hard! If you don't mind, I'm willing..."

"Ahem... Stop, stop!" Su Yun felt that there was something wrong with his eyes. Why did he look at her with such a hint of sympathy?

"The salary still needs to be paid normally." Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's do a three-day trial period, four hundred yuan a day, paid daily, and I'll cover the food and travel expenses. If we both feel it's suitable after three days, we can talk about long-term salary and bonuses."

"Huh? Four hundred?" Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment. "Boss, are you sure you're not mistaken? Isn't that a bit too much?"

Four hundred a day, that's twelve thousand a month! Is this boss really that generous? He used to earn less than four hundred a day at the gym! And... this guy makes so much money selling pancakes?

However, Zhou Ye thought about it again and realized that there were many tourists now, and business did seem to be good. There were also no competitors on the top of Mount Tai, so business was indeed good.

However, it's impossible for Taishan to have so many people every day, and setting up a stall is a job that's only available one day at a time. The older brother probably wanted to keep him here, so he deliberately quoted a higher salary!

As for wages and bonuses, Zhou Ye didn't care at all. How much could a mobile food stall possibly make at most?

Even if there really is a bonus, it'll probably just be two more beef patties for him, but... well, that doesn't sound bad! With such delicious patties to eat, what else would he want?

"Brother, let's get this straight," Zhou Ye said seriously. "If you really can't make any money one day, just tell me in advance. I won't cling to you."

"?" Su Yun was even more confused. Did this make him sound like he was about to go bankrupt?

"Okay, it's settled then." Su Yun didn't bother to think too much, extended her hand and shook his. "Welcome to my food stall."

"Alright, boss!" Zhou Ye got into the zone in a second.

"No way? I can't believe my eyes!" Chen Yu stared in disbelief. "You two have already reached an agreement?"

"Otherwise what?" Zhou Ye retorted.

"You don't even know where they'll be setting up their stall in the future!" Chen Yu said, somewhat speechless.

Anyone could see that the boss who set up a stall on the top of Mount Tai wouldn't last long. But Zhou Ye, he just joined the gang... no, he joined the team. Was he that hasty?

"Where else can we set up a stall?" Zhou Ye pointed to the ground, looking completely at ease. "Even if we don't set up a stall on the top of Mount Tai anymore, it can't be any more outrageous than this, right?"

"Uh..." Chen Yu and the others scratched their heads. That was indeed true. Even if the workplace was outrageous, it couldn't be more outrageous than Mount Tai, right? But something still felt off.

Su Yun glanced at Zhou Ye silently and said, "You know what, young man, that's not necessarily true. That old sixth brother of the system is capable of anything. If he goes to the Himalayas next time, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

"Zhou Ye!" Tang Guo couldn't help but remind him, "You'd better think it over carefully. This boss carries hundreds of kilograms of stuff just by climbing a mountain. If you follow him, you might really be treated like an animal."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Ye patted his arm. "Do you think all these muscles of mine are dead? Besides, it's just work, it's not like anyone will die."

Hearing this, Su Yun was even more pleased. Look at this! Look at this, what is enlightenment? This is enlightenment!

He's hardworking, strong, and not too stupid—this guy… ugh! He's a worthwhile employee!

"Boss, what should I do next?" Zhou Ye asked.

"Keep an eye on the queue for me, make sure no one gets pushed to the edge of the platform," Su Yun said, glancing at the crowd. "Just keep things safe for me."

"Understood!" Zhou Ye turned to look at the crowd, his smile vanishing instantly. "Big brother, I'm talking to you!"

Zhou Ye pointed at a tourist trying to cut in line and yelled, "You were just at the back, how come you're at the front in the blink of an eye?"

"And you, the one in the yellow shirt, stop looking down at your phone! You're practically sticking yourself into the pot!"

"..."

"Everyone, take your number and move forward when your number is called! Anyone who cuts in line will have to train their legs today!"

Several tourists glanced at Zhou Ye's thighs instinctively. Holy crap! They were as thick as tree stumps. Leg training? Forget it! They wanted to get down the mountain alive!

Su Yun stood behind the counter, watching the line of people instantly become obedient, and nodded in satisfaction. This wasn't just hiring a helper; it was clearly hiring a guardian deity for the stall!

Mmm, so satisfying!

Since Zhou Ye had agreed to do the work, he didn't try to cut corners at all. He first pulled Chen Yu over, "Aren't you a programmer? You're highly educated! Help me get a queuing system first."

"I'm a programmer, not a wishing well turtle!" Chen Yu's face darkened. "You're telling me to develop a piece of software for you on the spot, is that it?"

"No need for that." Zhou Ye found a few cardboard boxes used for storing ingredients and quickly cut them into dozens of small cards. "You have a high level of education and your handwriting is nice, so number them for me."

Chen Yu: "..."

Six hundred and sixty-six? This job doesn't even require a programmer! A middle school student could do it! They're treating him like cheap labor!

Despite his complaints, he still squatted down next to the table and started writing with a marker.

Tang Guo was responsible for calling out numbers in the live stream and on-site, "Numbers 20 to 30 can come and pick up their food! After number 31, please don't push forward. Taking photos is fine, but please don't block the middle of the path!"

"Those who haven't gotten a number yet, contact Zhou Ye first!"

In less than ten minutes, the three of them worked together to completely organize the previously chaotic team.

After receiving their number, tourists no longer need to stand foolishly in front of the pot and wait. They can take pictures of the scenery if they want, or find a place to rest if they want. They can come back when their number is almost up.

A lot of space suddenly became available on the platform.

Su Yun no longer had to worry about who might be pushed off the platform while making pancakes.

"Great job!" Su Yun exclaimed, flipping the pancake. "You came up with a solution so quickly?"

"These are all basic operations." Zhou Ye appeared calm on the surface, but was secretly delighted.

When he was at the gym, the manager never praised him.

If a member renews their course, it's because the store's marketing is good; if a member successfully loses weight, it's because the member has willpower; if a member cancels their course, it's because the service is inadequate.

He just stood in line, and the boss actually praised him. I have to say, this job is actually quite comfortable!

"Zhou Ye, what's the name of your current position? It'll be easier for me to answer if anyone asks me!" Chen Yu asked with a smile.

Zhou Ye thought about it seriously for a moment, and then said, "Let's just say I'm the Director of Order Management."

"Speak like a human being?"

"security guard."

"...Then what are you pretending for?"

Several people are talking.

An elderly man in his sixties was walking along the line.

The old man had gray hair, wore a gray coat, and was leaning on a hiking stick.

A girl in her early twenties was with him.

The two walked and looked around, marveling at the sights. They couldn't believe it! They couldn't believe that there were people selling breakfast on the top of Mount Tai.

"Grandpa, slow down," the girl said, supporting him as she urged. "You haven't eaten anything since this morning. How about you buy a bowl of millet pudding first? You can try what this stall tastes like."

"I won't eat." The old man shook his head, his voice weak. "I have no appetite."

And he didn't want to eat these strange things either.
