Heavenly Monarch Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Housekeeping Work.

Looking at the old man, he is different from ordinary old men. His skin looks slightly delicate, not as dull as other old people, and is full of gloss.

His face looked a little uncomfortable, as if someone owed him millions.

Chen Xiao naturally heard it. The old man's voice was exactly the one he heard on the phone twice before and after. The old man seemed eccentric. After he finished his cold talk, he lowered his head and went on reading. He finished a chapter without hurry. Then he carefully picked out a thin Ivory bookmark from his pocket and clipped it into the chapter page he had read. Then he closed the book and looked up at Chen Xiao.

"You are Chen Xiao?" The old man hummed, his voice was dry, but he did not hide his discontent: "Hum, a little fart child. Do those guys think I'm a nanny? How can anyone send it to me?'

Although he said it " very politely," Chen Xiao was not annoyed - the old man's hair was white, his grandfather was more than enough for his age, and it was not disgraceful to be called a "little fart kid" by him.

An old man and a young man opened their eyes and looked at each other for a long time. The old man's eyes became brighter and brighter. He seemed to want to read something from Chen Xiao's eyes. But after staring at Chen Xiao for a long time, Chen Xiao's eyes did not give in at all.

"Hum, boy, it seems to be that you have a stubborn temper." The old man's voice softened a little. "Okay, find a place to sit down by yourself."

Chen Xiao did not refuse, but directly found the nearest sofa to the counter and sat down.

The old man drew two cans of beer from under the counter and sat in front of Chen Xiao. He was wearing a flower shirt, but his body was thin as a bamboo pole. His broad shirt was shaking, as if he would be blown away by the wind at any time.

"Drink, don't mention it." The old man opened a can of beer and handed it to Chen Xiao. "I don't like people interrupting me when I talk, so if you want to ask anything, you have to bear it for me first." My old man's time is precious. After I've finished, I'll allow you to ask questions before you can ask them. Do you understand?

Chen Xiao took a sip of beer and nodded --- although the place was full of weirdness, the old man did not seem to be a normal person. However, since Chen Xiao is the stronghold of the "service society" of the power organization, he has already made psychological preparations.

"My name is Ai, Edward." The old man spoke his name.

"Edward?" Chen Xiao couldn't help interrupting.

Pat!!

He saw the old man sitting on the opposite sofa, pointing at himself falsely --- Chen Xiao just finished such a short sentence, and felt that his head was severely knocked! Suddenly there is a hot pain on his forehead, smoothly wiped, unexpectedly it was swollen!

Looking at the old man's hand * is still so far away from himself, but the pain of being knocked on the forehead just now is very clear.

Lean on! Flip your fingers?! Chen Xiao couldn't help staring round at the old man's thick, short fingers.

"I don't like to be interrupted when I talk! Why do young people have no memory?' The old man had a gloomy face: "And not Edward! It's Edward! Aicao's Ai, moral virtue, Huaxia's Hua! Keep sth. in mind. Next time you scream my name, be careful that I knock out your front teeth."

When the old man spoke, his tone was distinctly disdainful and impatient, and his eyes were full of arrogance and arrogance, as if he could sit here and talk to Chen Xiao, which had already given him great face.

Although Chen Xiao was beaten very painfully, considering the identity and age of the other party, he tolerated it.

"Your situation, that little bastard of Leihu has already told me. Although I hate to do this kind of work as a nanny, after all, I am also a retired member of the organization, and I can't ignore the things that are assigned to me. So, after your son, ask for more happiness. Well, my old man's temper is not very good. You'll have a hard time with me in the future."

Chen Xiao frowned and looked doubtful. Edward saw that he had something to say. Then he waved: "What do you want to say, say it!"

"Leihu has promised me that I'm just doing a job, and it's not about your organization! It's a normal person's job! If I were asked to join your organization, that would not work."

"Aha!" Old man Edward laughed instead, squinting at Chen Xiao and saying, "You're on your back? Don't worry, boy, hum, our organization, how many people are crying and begging to get in. That little bastard of Leihu thinks highly of you. My old man will not take you as a treasure."

"That's good." Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "May I ask what my job is?"

"Here it is." The old man waved his hand with great momentum: "This is the coffee shop. You take care of me. I didn't want you to come so early, but I suddenly had something to leave for a few days. That's why you have to be called in first."

With that, he looked at Chen Xiao, and his eyes were somewhat uneasy: "You are such a young child, you don't know if you can do the work here."

Chen Xiao thought for a moment: "I have worked in restaurants and fast food restaurants, coffee shops have also worked, also can make coffee." Then he looked at the big empty shop and laughed. "Besides, I don't think the work here should be too busy."

"Well, don't be complacent too early. Do you think it's so simple?" Old Edward shook his head and sneered. Then he coughed and said, "That's the way it is. Three thousand a month, two meals a day for free. Cashier, waiter and cook while I'm away... It's all for you to have it all by yourself. Simply put, it's a light rod commander.

"Well, if there aren't many guests, I can handle it alone." Chen Xiao nodded: "I will work hard."

"Don't talk too early. I usually don't have many guests here, but all of them come here are some old customers - those old customers are troublesome guys, you have to take good care of them, don't annoy people, otherwise, those guys are mostly bad-tempered, if you get into trouble, you have to suffer a lot."

Said so, the old man has stood up: "Lei Hu must have told you that my place is similar to the place where retirees are placed. Many of my regular customers here are old people from service agencies. It can be said that they are basically not normal human beings... Hum, you'll understand it slowly."

Crack. Suddenly the old man shook hands and a bunch of keys fell in front of Chen Xiao.

"The store gate, the warehouses behind, the cashier door, and a small safe behind it - all the keys are here. I'm too lazy to introduce them to you one by one. You can find them after I leave."

The old man coughed twice and said in a leisurely way, "I shouldn't have been away for too long, but I'm not sure... Well, there's money in the safe anyway. If I don't come back on payday, you can get your own salary from it.

Chen Xiao stared at the old man with a strange face...

Even throw me the key to the safe? Where is a boss who trusts employees like this?

"There's one more thing to tell you. It doesn't matter if you don't open the door to do business. You don't need to open the door in class during the day, but I only have one requirement: every Thursday night you have to open the door to do business! _________ Even if no one comes at night, you have to make sure that you stay open until twelve o'clock. Not less than a minute! See? As long as you do that, I don't care what you do on the other days of the week."

Chen Xiao couldn't help being thundered.

Is there any other way to do business? Just one night a week? Then you can get 3,000 salaries in a month?

"Rest assured, all you do is normal work, bring tea and water, collect money to make coffee. You're not going to be asked to do any special tasks - besides, you're going to do something else. Do you have that skill?' When the old man finished, he looked at the clock on the wall and frowned. "It's not too early. I'm leaving now." Remember my confession. Usually when you look at the store, if you are bored, you can read the books I put under the counter, but be careful not to lose them for me. They are all collections.

After that, the old man stood up so easily and walked to the door with a big grin.

Chen Xiao was stunned. He had never seen such an irresponsible interview since he worked.

"Wait a minute, please." Chen Xiao couldn't help shouting.

"What else?" Old Edward turned around and looked impatient: "Is what I said not clear enough? The job is very simple. Even an idiot can do it well. What do you not understand?

"Yes... That's it." Chen Xiao thought for a moment: "The two lines at the door..."

Chen Xiao's face was somewhat absurd: "Are you... If a beautiful woman comes, do you really want to get rid of the bill?

"Of course!" As soon as the old man's eyes lit up, he straightened up his chest and said, "This is my sign for the old man! You remember too! If there are beautiful women to drink and patronize, you are not allowed to collect money!"

Chen Xiao nodded helplessly, but thought: Beauty? I came all the way and didn't even see a rabbit! This rotten business district is half way from bankruptcy. Where can beautiful women come here for coffee?

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao at that time did not realize that his words were too early and arbitrary. As a matter of fact, he should have been aware that, since he knew these people, he could no longer use common sense to measure them and these things.
