The Eye Demon Doesn't Die from the Magical Girl

"It's just that I was pretty busy, so all the work was taken by others. That's why I came here to ask someone I know to help me stay for a while."

Damn, no wonder most of the part-time jobs were full after searching for a long time. It turns out those magical girls from other places were competing with me for jobs.

After hearing her words, Ji Hui finally understood why those job postings were almost full in just one or two days. It turned out that these magical girls were waiting for the time limit to be lifted before coming to get rid of him.

"But you're not looking for a job for..."

Then, the magical girl's expression turned suspicious, causing Ji Hui to reply unhappily.

"I really don't have any money. Even though I have a place to stay temporarily, I can't stay here for long."

"Oh fine"

While they were talking, Ji Hui's meal was brought up by the same waiter.

"Sorry, sir, please enjoy your meal."

After she finished speaking, she rushed to the front desk again, and Ji Hui looked at her back for a while before asking.

"So she doesn't know about magical girls?"

"I don't know, so you'd better be careful with what you say and don't mention anything you shouldn't."

"It was you who called out the Outer Realm Demon first."

Ignoring the magical girl who fell silent after hearing this, Ji Hui also smelled the strong aroma of burnt bread and began to enjoy his lunch.

Chapter 79 Unexpected Differences

Although they told him to wait a moment, it seemed that due to the shortage of staff, even though there were not many customers in the store, the store was still very busy. Ji Hui, who had just finished his meal, had to order another cup of coffee and drink it slowly.

There was a search term for [qún:)九ˉ丝.] A good opportunity for a part-time job, and with a seemingly decent chance of success, he didn't need to rush like before. So, while enjoying the aroma of coffee he hadn't seen in a long time, he tried to get any more information from the magical girl in front of him, Feng Yingying.

Well, at least for now, it seems that this magical girl is not to the extent of using any means to get GPA. After some communication, the other party's hostility towards her has subsided a lot.

"Sorry, sorry, the customer must be waiting impatiently."

After the busy lunch hour and the open sign on the door was put up, the waiter trotted over and sat down next to Feng Yingying while speaking apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay. My name is Ji Hui."

Ji Hui smiled and waved his hand, and after the waiter nodded, he spoke with a proper smile.

"My name is Yu Mingxue, and this is Feng Yingying, my good friend. However, she lives in another city, and her personality and behavior can be a bit eccentric at times, so please forgive her."

"It's okay. The misunderstanding has been resolved, right?"

As Ji Hui spoke, he looked at Feng Yingying, and Feng Yingying, who understood what his look meant, nodded slightly.

"Well, it's been lifted."

"Really? That's great."

Yu Mingxue breathed a sigh of relief, and Ji Hui also spoke with a smile.

"So now, can we start the interview?"

Seeing Ji Hui talking about serious matters, Yu Mingxue sat up a little straighter, making her shaungfeng with baoman curves pressed out by the apron more obvious, and the originally gentle smile on her face became more serious.

After coughing lightly, she also asked.

"Well, Mr. Ji Hui, we are currently recruiting part-time waiters. The working hours are roughly from 9 am to 5 pm, including lunch and dinner. As for the price..."

Ji Hui had already asked Feng Yingying about these matters, so when Yu Mingxue talked about it, he had a rough idea of ​​it and nodded.

"Also, although I'm a waiter, I do some miscellaneous work, like working in the kitchen and cleaning. I'll probably have to lend a hand when things are busy. I should be more like a handyman. I'm not sure if you can accept that."

"Well, that's no problem."

Ji Hui, who used to be a waiter, nodded, causing Yu Mingxue to blink, a little surprised by his straightforward response.

But since the other party said so, it was just right, so she just smiled and nodded, then opened her mouth and asked.

"I wonder if Mr. Ji Hui knows anything about coffee? Because as you can see, as a non-chain store, we have to deal with some coffee machine and coffee bean operations. Although there will be training, it would be great if you already have some knowledge."

"Of course, I'm also a coffee lover. I've tried everything from pour-over coffee to drip pots and moka pots."

Hearing Ji Hui say this, Yu Mingxue's eyes suddenly lit up and she became a little excited.

"Mr. Ji Hui is actually a coffee lover too? I wonder what kind of beans you usually drink? I mostly use commercial dark roasted beans at home, but I occasionally buy some better varieties of other beans."

"Well, as for me, I sometimes drink some Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Kenyan medium roast beans, or Mandheling. What's wrong with that?"

Looking at the somewhat strange expressions of Feng Yingying and Yu Mingxue in front of him, Ji Hui couldn't help but blink.

"Where is Ethiopia? What are Kenya and Mandheling?"

Yu Mingxue asked in confusion, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Ji Hui couldn't help but become a little weird.

I could only understand the word "Zhongbaodou" in his entire sentence. Could it be that this guy didn't just randomly say a few names to fool me?

When she asked, Ji Hui suddenly realized what was going on and felt a headache.

Damn, the place names in this world are completely different, and even the names of the coffee beans are different.

Then how could he possibly know what beans taste like in this world?!

"Mr. Ji Hui, if you don't know, just say you don't know. There's no need to force yourself to say it. Lying is not a good thing."

Moreover, Yu Mingxue's earnest tone, as if she was educating a child, made Ji Hui feel even more uncomfortable.

“Okay, I’m so sorry.”

"Pfft"

Feng Yingying, who was standing aside, seemed to understand why Ji Hui said such nonsense, and couldn't help but laugh, which made Ji Hui feel even more helpless.

Well, looking at it this way, it's no wonder that he didn't see things like American and espresso on the menu. At first, he thought those unfamiliar words were special drinks or something like that. Now that he thinks about it, the names of those ordinary drinks must have changed with the place names.

Well, now I am a complete novice and have to learn from scratch.

So after realizing what was happening, Ji Hui didn't dare to say anything else, but just honestly answered other questions about Yu Mingxue.

"Well, if that's the case, then Mr. Ji Hui, you can start work directly tomorrow. The probation period will be about a week. If your performance is good, your salary for the probation period will be paid according to your normal salary. Otherwise, you will still receive half of your regular salary based on the number of days you work."

Although he felt that Jiujue Ji Sihui seemed to have deceived him halfway, similar situations were not unheard of, and it was normal for fans to have different levels of understanding, so Yu Mingxue didn't care.

As for other aspects, perhaps because of the guilt she felt for the quarrel between Feng Yingying and him, she was still quite satisfied with Ji Hui. As for his character in the future, she would have to wait until the probation period to slowly observe him.

"Well, but I have something, I wonder if Miss Yuming can accept it?"

Ji Hui nodded, but then he also spoke, which made Yu Mingxue ask curiously.

"What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with your salary?"

"Well, it's a little too little for me."

Ji Hui nodded, glanced at Feng Yingying beside him, and then continued speaking.

"Anyway, I don't have a job right now. Can you arrange a full-time job for me, with longer hours and a slight salary increase?"

Chapter 80 Something More Important

"Working hours?"

After hearing Ji Hui's words, Yu Mingxue's expression became a little confused, which made Ji Hui nod slightly.

"Well, as you can see, Ms. Yuming, I am now in a state similar to being unemployed, so I also hope to get more than just a part-time salary."

"If possible, can you let me work a little longer and then give me a higher commission based on the previous price?"

"Well, if I hire full-time, it might be a little bit..."

Yu Mingxue said hesitantly, but Ji Hui had basically expected her reaction, so he just continued with a smile.

"It's okay if it's not suitable. After all, my probation period hasn't ended yet. I just hope you can consider this suggestion during the probation period."

He naturally had his own reasons for saying this.

From Feng Yingying's probing, he basically knew that the coffee shop was currently short-staffed, and the situation was so serious that it affected its sales.

In fact, even without this magical girl, just by seeing that there were only two people busying around in the middle of the day, Ji Hui could basically feel that there were very few employees in this store.

Although it is normal for some private boutique coffee shops to have few people, when the number of people is so small, it becomes difficult to even operate.

"Well...it's possible."

After hesitating for a while, Yu Mingxue spoke hesitantly.

"However, Mr. Ji Hui, there are some things I'd like to clarify with you in advance. As you can see, our store's financial situation isn't particularly good. Therefore, even if you perform exceptionally well, your salary in the short term may not be ideal. It's very likely that your input and output won't be equal. You seem to be in a hurry to use the money, so I don't want to cause any unpleasantness with you over these matters."

"Of course, if the store's situation improves, I will definitely reward Mr. Ji Hui for his efforts and increase his salary. However, at least in the short term, this is still just a pipe dream. And if the store goes bankrupt, I'm afraid your efforts will be wasted."

This girl is surprisingly honest.

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to point out the hidden danger, Ji Hui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and muttered in his heart.

"I naturally thought of what Miss Yuming said. I also chose to do this while being aware of these things."

Ji Hui nodded slightly, and the look that showed he had no intention of changing his mind made Yu Mingxue and Feng Yingying beside her open their eyes wide in surprise.

"No, I'm really happy that you're so determined, but why? It seems like there's no need for you to stay and watch over my little shop, which isn't doing very well, right?"

"That's right, just go back now. I'll be with Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue, I don't want a salary. Just prepare a room for me and provide me with food."

"Yingying, stop making trouble."

After gently patting Feng Yingying who came up to her, Yu Mingxue looked at Ji Hui again, asking him to put his folded hands on the table while keeping smiling.

"The reason I persisted was, on the one hand, that I had been looking for a job for a long time. If I didn't seize this opportunity, I might not be able to find a suitable job even after two or three days of looking around. Naturally, I had to work hard. On the other hand..."

Ji Hui paused, and then the smile on his face deepened.

"The reason I want to work here is naturally because I want to get something more important than a salary."

"Something more important?"

Yu Mingxue murmured in confusion, while Feng Yingying beside her seemed to have realized something. She suddenly widened her eyes and hugged Yu Mingxue tightly with an annoyed look on her face, glaring fiercely at Ji Hui, who was also a little dazed, like a wild dog guarding its food.

"Great! I was wondering why you were so patient and easy to talk to. Turns out your target is Xiaoxue!"

"I'm telling you, you pervert, don't even think about hitting on Xiaoxue! I'll protect her, so just give up on that idea!"

After hearing her words, Yu Mingxue suddenly realized something. She looked at Ji Hui with some astonishment, who also had an expression of astonishment on his face, and her face gradually turned red.

A boy who doesn't mind low wages and low treatment, is willing to work more hours in his own store every day, and says he wants to get more important things.

No matter how you look at it, this store has absolutely nothing else that can be considered important besides itself and the store itself! ?

Looking at the two alert girls in front of him, Ji Hui, who also realized the ambiguity in his words, quickly shook his head and said.

"No, no, what I'm talking about has nothing to do with you! What I want is connections!"

"Connections?" ×2

Looking at their confused expressions, Ji Hui couldn't help but sigh and began to explain.

"Miss Yuming, since she opened a shop, she must have gotten to know some suppliers and regular customers. If I worked here, I'd definitely come into contact with all kinds of people. These interpersonal relationships are very important."

"Even if I don't work here anymore, if someone I know happens to have a vacant seat, they can help me out. What's more, if I open a coffee shop like Miss Yuming in the future, then those suppliers will be my acquaintances, right? They can help me out later."

"Because Miss Yuming needs to do a lot of things, I can also master a lot of store-running skills. Compared to those who are just responsible for serving dishes, pouring water and delivering food, I can get more training. In comparison, the small price difference is not too bad as tuition. Well, that's basically it."

After hearing his words, the two people who were originally a little wary finally calmed down a little and nodded thoughtfully.

"I see. If that's the case, then it does make sense."

"Of course, it would be great if we could increase wages or something like that on top of this."

"Well, if that's the case then fine, as long as Mr. Ji Hui doesn't feel dissatisfied then."

Seeing that he had said so, Yu Mingxue thought for a while, then smiled and nodded slightly.

After all, she was just worried that she would be treated poorly, which would lead to conflicts in the future. Now that Ji Hui had taken the initiative to say so, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

It would be better to say that he was so easy to talk to that she was eager to keep him.

Chapter 81 The Reason for Decline

In fact, Ji Hui thought more than he said.

It's not just about personal connections. After discovering the errors and deviations in place names, he also realized that he might have some common sense problems in many places.

For this reason, it will be of great benefit to him to have more contact with the world and more people.

In this regard, it is very important to have a boss who is easy to talk to or who can be treated as a soft persimmon.

At least from the current point of view, Yu Mingxue is a shop owner with a relatively gentle personality and a relatively straightforward person. Her economic disadvantage can also make others more tolerant when treating her. At least when she knows that she has made a mistake, she should be more patient in explaining it.
