On the second morning, a nanny car stopped outside the store.
A teenage girl wearing a winter JK school uniform got out of the car, her soft short hair brushed behind her ears. She bowed politely at a ninety-degree angle to the many staff members in the courtyard, “Good morning, everyone. Thank you for your hard work.”
The male staff members of the program group all had hearts in their eyes, wishing they could aim the camera at her all day.
The barrage was in shock.
[“?? Kun’s teenage girl? Is she a new one-day employee?”]
[“Wow, the goddess of otaku has arrived.”]
[“Tsk tsk, Kun’s girl has such great legs, I could play with them for a year.”]
[“Ah, isn’t this the number one fan of Mu Ye in the entertainment industry?”]
[“That trash director must have bad intentions! Does he want my son to play in the Shura field? I spit on him!”]
[“Oh my god, my son has a strong rival. Stinky treasure, wake up and hug the male god!”]
Song Jianchu was still the first one to wake up.
A little after eight o’clock, he got up, washed up quickly, put on a coat over his pajamas, and groggily went to the kitchen to make breakfast for the employees.
As he walked out of the kitchen, his steps faltered.
The first thing he saw was a pair of long, white legs.
His gaze slowly moved upward, seeing a school uniform skirt that barely covered her thighs, a coffee-colored apron that hugged her waist, and a white female school uniform shirt that stretched taut over her ample chest.
Song Jianchu’s hair was a mess, and he couldn’t react for a moment to the sight in front of him.
The girl turned her head to look at him, smiling and greeting him, “Hello, Devil Brother. Ah, no, I should call you the store manager?”
Song Jianchu: “?”
After a two-second delay, he remembered that the program group had mentioned there would be a one-day employee today.
Regaining his composure, Song Jianchu nodded slightly, “Hello.”
Walking into the kitchen, Song Jianchu looked at the sticky mess in the pot with a perplexed expression and asked, “What are you making?”
Kun Yu’an smiled and stirred the red batter in the pot with chopsticks. “Since none of you have gotten up yet, I thought I’d make tomato and egg noodles for breakfast. I’m not very familiar with the stove here, though. The heat seems to be too high.”
“…,” Song Jianchu remained silent for a moment and said, “Thank you, but let me do it.”
Last night, Pei Shinian had woken up hungry after drinking.
Without washing his face, he followed the scent and went to find food.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he walked into the kitchen and touched his face. He silently retreated two steps and quickly went back to his dormitory to brush his teeth and wash his face. He also quickly ran his fingers through his hair in front of the mirror.
Mu Ye had just gotten up and was looking at him outside the bathroom. “Are you going on a blind date?”
“Brother,” Pei Shinian exclaimed excitedly, “Today’s employee of the day is Kun Yu’an! My goddess!”
Mu Ye couldn’t remember who that was for a moment and went into the bathroom to wash up. His tone was indifferent as he said, “Congratulations.”
“Brother, you don’t know her?” Pei Shinian was surprised. “She’s your number one fan and has the same popularity as the demon king’s younger brother among your fans.”
“I see,” Mu Ye replied flatly as he brushed his teeth with toothpaste.
Pei Shinian said nervously, “I’ll go out first. My goddess is cooking with the shop manager. I have to make a good impression before you come out, or she won’t notice me.”
After he finished speaking, Pei Shinian hurriedly left to see his goddess.
Five minutes later, Mu Ye finished washing up and walked out to see three people crowded around the not-so-big stove in the kitchen. Two of them stood very close together, with the girl’s pleated skirt almost brushing against the boy’s leg. The third person couldn’t get involved and stood to the side, looking a bit redundant.
Song Jianchu was cooking another pot of noodles.
Kun Yu’an praised the shop manager beside her. “The manager is so amazing. The Weibo billionaire is actually cooking herself. She’s really great.”
Song Jianchu reached for the seasoning jar.
“Do you want some pepper?” Kun Yu’an immediately handed it over and said, “I learned that you need to add pepper when cooking noodles.”
After cooking the noodles, Song Jianchu reached for the bowl.
“Can I use this bowl?” Kun Yu’an handed it over again and said, “Wow, it smells so good, I can eat two bowls later.”
Pei Shinian looked confused, “…”
The barrage also looked confused watching this scene.
[“Ah, isn’t Kun the little girl a fan of the demon man?”]
[“Why is she so enthusiastic towards the demon king’s younger brother?”]
[“Pei Shinian’s eyes are about to pop out…no wonder he’s a popular idol for otakus, he really likes this kind of girl.”]
[“No offense, just a random thought, but why do I smell…tea?”]
[“Stinky treasure, this is your number one competitor, you better keep yourself together! Mom doesn’t allow you to have a crush!”]
Song Jianchu felt like his ears were about to go deaf.
Unable to bear it any longer, he put the noodles in the bowl and made an excuse to push Kun Yu’an away, “Can you please help me put it on the dining table, thank you.”
“Don’t be so polite, Manager. Whatever work there is today, just leave it to me.” Kun Yu’an happily carried the bowl away.
Pei Shinian scratched his face in confusion and whispered, “Manager, do you know her? Why is she so familiar with you?”
Finally able to relax with peace and quiet, Song Jianchu breathed a sigh of relief, “I don’t know her.”
Pei Shinian’s gaze unconsciously followed the pair of legs under the short skirt of her uniform and raised an eyebrow, “Manager, which team are you planning to assign her to?”
Song Jianchu replied calmly, “I don’t know, I’ll arrange it later.”
[“What, you still want to flirt with girls during work hours???”]
[“By the way, we debuted as idols at the age of 18, and we’re still single to this day.”]
[“Suddenly feeling sorry for ourselves.”]
Kun Yu’an took two steps and suddenly ran into someone standing at the door.
She paused her footsteps and looked up.
When she saw the man’s face, her face turned red instantly.
“Teacher Mu…” Compared to her previous confident attitude, Kun Yu’an’s tone now sounded a bit nervous, “Hello, my name is Kun Yu’an, I’m a one-day employee here today.”
Mu Ye lazily looked her up and down, his lips slightly curved, “Hello.”
Mu Ye’s gaze fell for a moment, “Not cold?”
Kun Yu’an blushed and hurriedly said, “It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about me, I’m not afraid of the cold.”
[“???”]
[“Who is this girl?”]
Mu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Suppressing a smile in his eyes, he nodded slightly and said, “Go ahead.”
Kun Yu’an blushed a little more, picked up her bowl, and walked away.
Pei Shinian went to call two other employees to come and eat breakfast. Song Jianchu was scooping noodles into his bowl when he noticed someone standing next to him.
Not wanting his ears to be tortured anymore, he naturally handed the bowl over and said, “Please also take these over, thank you.”
The person next to him took the bowl and lightly hooked his finger on the bottom of the bowl.
Song Jianchu’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately withdrew his hand and turned his head.
His face almost brushed against the person’s shoulder.
The man was almost standing against him, with thick and straight eyelashes hanging down, looking at him, his eyes flashing darkly for a moment.
Song Jianchu was stunned, “?”
Just awakened not long ago, the man’s voice was still a bit hoarse, almost whispering in his ear, “Store manager.”
Song Jianchu forgot to step back, his eyes staring blankly, “Uh?”
Mu Ye looked directly at him, his voice soft, “I am the employee who can accompany you to the end, remember that.”
Song Jianchu, “…Okay.”
“You’ve worked hard.” Mu Ye smiled gently and took the bowl from his hand. “I’ll do it, you go sit outside.”
Song Jianchu, “…Okay.”
[“???”]
[“Teacher Mu, are you okay?”]
During the employee breakfast, Kun Yu’an formally greeted all the members, “Hello, everyone, I am a new employee. I hope you can take care of me today.”
Song Jianchu leaned on his chair and sipped his coffee after the meal, lazily asking, “Do you have any position you want to apply for? There are only two people in the business group right now, me and Teacher Mu, the rest are all in the kitchen group.”
“Do you want to work in the kitchen group?” Pei Shinian immediately warmly invited, “The kitchen work is very simple and not tiring at all, especially suitable for girls.”
[“Kitchen group = Potato Hell, Not Tiring = Tiring as a dog”]
[“A man’s mouth deceives a ghost”]
“Ah…” Kun Yu’an looked at Mu Ye, who was quietly drinking coffee with his head down, and said apologetically, “I don’t seem to be very suitable for the kitchen, I’ll go to the business group to help.”
Pei Shinian sighed regretfully, “Okay, I lied to you, the kitchen is actually very tiring, so girls should go to the business group.”
[“Hahahaha, Pei Shinian, you’ve had enough”]
“Okay.” Song Jianchu said to the new employee, “Then I will take you to familiarize yourself with the business group’s operations later.”
“I’ll take her.” Mu Ye put down his cup and said, “The store manager wakes up too early, go rest for half an hour before the business starts.”
“Yes.” Kun Yu’an said worriedly, “Store manager, you should rest. You don’t seem to have rested well, you should balance work and rest.”
After a pause, Song Jianchu hesitated and nodded, “Then I’ll leave it to you, thank you.”
“It’s nothing.” Mu Ye smiled, “The store manager has to deal with so many things every day, I want to share some of your burden.”
“Being a store manager must be very difficult, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.” Kun Yu’an smiled and said, “Don’t worry, store manager! I will follow Teacher Mu well and try my best to help the store!”
Bai Xingyu’s coffee cup stopped at his mouth for a long time, and he looked at the three people with complicated eyes: “…”
[“???”]
[“What trick is this little fox playing???”]
[“I calculated it, and there’s a fox spirit causing trouble in the store today.”]
[“Sister in front, you and I calculated the same thing…”]
The morning work meeting ended, Song Jianchu looked at his watch, stood up and said, “There is still an hour before the store opens, so everyone can start preparing for the business.”
The formal work began the next day.
Except for the new member, all the employees were very familiar with their work, and the preparation work was several times faster than the previous day. The kitchen group completed the business preparation in less than an hour.
Mu Ye also quickly familiarized the new employee with the business content, and the business group’s preparation work was also completed.
At exactly 11 o’clock, “Grandma Li’s Gourmet Shop” began its second day of lunch business.
Most of today’s customers are fans who came because of the news, and there are also many tourists. Compared to the previous day, the customer flow has doubled several times.
Female customers stare at the male clerks and drool, and male customers stare at the female clerks and drool. Because of the one-day employees, the “reputation” of the service quality covering both sides has doubled.
Bai Xingyu has been forced to practice the technique of making rice for three people at once. Listening to the lively noise outside, he sighed, “It’s a good thing that the one-day employees came, otherwise we really
Pei Shinian held a potato and silently shed tears.
A table of customers ordered seven drinks, but Kun Yu’an couldn’t carry them all by herself.
She looked towards Mu Ye who was taking orders at the small window and said softly, “Teacher Mu, the customers ordered too many drinks for me to carry. Can you help me with half of them?”
Song Jianchu was at the cash register helping customers pay, but he looked up and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll be right there.”
Mu Ye had already taken more than half of the drinks and said gently, “I’ll help you.”
“Thank you, Teacher Mu,” Kun Yu’an smiled and carried the remaining drinks.
After a while, Kun Yu’an was trying to chip off some ice from the freezer, but it was frozen too hard. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and turned to Mu Ye, “Teacher Mu, this ice is too hard for me to chip off. Can you help me?”
Song Jianchu happened to be delivering food nearby and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll be right there.”
Mu Ye had already gone over and taken the small hammer from her hand. He said gently, “I’ll do it.”
“Thank you, Teacher Mu,” Kun Yu’an smiled and stood obediently behind him, waiting for the ice.
After a while, Kun Yu’an didn’t expect that being an employee for a day would be so tiring. She leaned against the bar and rested for two minutes, looking mesmerized at the haloed male god not far away.
If she missed this opportunity, she didn’t know when she would have another chance to chase her idol. If the number one fan could do it, she could too!
Kun Yu’an perked up again and was filled with energy. Her actions were so natural that the audience didn’t notice her little thoughts.
The customers ordered eight servings of mixed rice, but she could only carry four at a time. She turned to Mu Ye and said naturally, “Teacher Mu, I can only carry four servings. These four servings are-“
As she was speaking, she saw the male god holding his competitor’s waist.
Song Jianchu accidentally stepped on the water on the ground and almost slipped, but Mu Ye caught him just in time.
[“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah”]
[“Holy shit, scared the crap out of me, thank you Teacher Mu”]
[“Too dangerous!”]
Mu Ye’s gentle expression disappeared, and his brow furrowed as he looked down at the person in his arms. He said seriously, “Be careful, a little kid just spilled their drink here.”
The man’s arm was strong, and Song Jianchu was half leaning on the white shirt that smelled good, as if he could feel the other person’s body temperature and heartbeat directly.
Song Jianchu quickly straightened up and adjusted his expression. He said, “I didn’t see it, I’ll go get a mop to clean it up.”
Just as he was about to turn around, Mu Ye gently pressed his head with his hand and stopped him, “Rest for a bit, I’ll go.”
[“Hehe, this is what you call turning a misfortune into a blessing~”]
[“One more pat, help my son remember it well, Teacher Mu, remember to return it later”]
[“Congratulations to my son for getting the “Pat Head Killer” achievement!!”]
[“My son is so lucky this year”]
The demon king army in the barrage is celebrating, and the female guests around are also excited and covering their mouths when they see this scene.
Song Jianchu is still standing in place, feeling the touch of the man’s hand on his head, and the female fans around him nod their heads and give him a thumbs up with relief.
“Son, how does it feel to be touched by a male god?”
“Stinky treasure, keep it up. Mom came here specially to see you.”
Song Jianchu came back to his senses, turned his head to look at several female fans who were laughing non-stop, and said calmly with a red ear tip, “Focus on eating your food.”
Kun Yu’an narrowed her eyes unwillingly and withdrew her gaze. She could only run twice alone to deliver eight portions of food.
Kun Yu’an was about to go to deliver four portions first, but Song Jianchu came over and helped her pick up the other four portions, asking, “Which table?”
Kun Yu’an smiled and said, “Thank you, Manager, it’s table five.”
Miss Kun had never done any manual labor in her life, and her hands were already so sore that she couldn’t hold the tray steady after less than two hours of work.
Kun Yu’an was about to endure the pain and pick up the tray when a hand suddenly took two portions of mixed rice from her tray, lightening her load.
The manager carried the tray with six portions of mixed rice and said, “Let’s go.”
Kun Yu’an stood still and stared at the clean and neat figure of the young man in front of her, feeling her heart skip a beat inexplicably.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had been charmed by her competitor.
Kun Yu’an couldn’t help but smile and thought, no wonder this guy can successfully chase after stars, he’s a hidden expert.
Indeed, he’s quite good.
After wiping the floor for a bit, Mu Ye watched the store manager enthusiastically lead the new employee past him, helping the new employee deliver meals and even chivalrously taking several more servings.
When Kun Yu’an passed by, she smiled and praised him, “Teacher Mu, our store manager is really nice.”
Mu Ye straightened up while holding the mop and raised an eyebrow. He looked at the reliable-looking figure of the male student and smiled lightly, “Indeed.”
The busy midday operation finally ended the next day, and everyone was too tired to even eat.
Kun Yu’an had never experienced this kind of hardship before and was completely stunned.
By the end of it, she had forgotten her plan to chase after stars and could only think about which tables had ordered what and if the orders had been fulfilled.
After a simple lunch, everyone began their afternoon break.
There were only two dorm rooms, so the double rooms were temporarily given to the day workers for rest, while the triple room was given to the more exhausted kitchen team.
Two members of the operation team brewed a pot of coffee and went to the terrace to bask in the sun and have afternoon tea.
The lunch break was suspended.
Song Jianchu put on his sun hat, lazily leaned back in his chair, and basked in the warm sun. He planned to sleep for a while with his arms folded.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, the person next to him leaned over and lightly pinched his arm while calling out to him softly, “Wait to sleep later.”
With the experience from last time, Song Jianchu quickly came to his senses and turned his head, alert.
Mu Ye smiled slightly at him, didn’t say anything, and gestured with his eyes.
Song Jianchu understood again.
His sugar daddy was saying, “Do you want to go on a date? This is such a good opportunity.”
Song Jianchu looked around, and there were no staff members on the second floor for the time being.
However, it was not very safe outside, and there was a high risk involved, so it was not a wise place for a date.
He said rationally, “Let’s skip it today, next time.”
Then he looked at the man beside him, and his eyes visibly dimmed. The man’s gentle and floating gaze was tinged with a faint sorrow.
The man’s face changed too quickly, and Song Jianchu was stunned to see it.
He was the one paying for everything, so why did the other man, who seemed like he was losing millions every day, look like such a big wronged party?
Before he could figure it out, the man gently lowered his beautiful eyes and said softly, “It’s only the third day, and you don’t want to touch me anymore. It seems like I haven’t performed well enough.”
“I knew it. There’s no easy money in the world.” As if he had been greatly hurt, the man lightly pursed his lips. “It’s okay. You can tell me anytime if you want to terminate our agreement. Even though you don’t want me anymore, rest assured, since I’ve signed a non-compete agreement, I won’t have any other benefactors in the future.”
“Thank you for coming to record the show with me. I didn’t consider it carefully when I agreed to appear on the variety show. It’s not convenient for you to do anything to me here. I should have retired from the industry and focused on accompanying you. I shouldn’t have been too greedy…”
