In the morning, the pet shop opened for business as usual.
After Wang Qian and Li Kun arrived, they told Lu Yi Yun about yesterday's fierce battle with the bobbit worm. The bobbit worm, which was originally more than half a meter long, became at least one meter long in their words. It swam like the wind in the tank, and all it lacked was wings to fly. There were also a few thrilling scenes that never happened. Lu Yi Yun was scared out of her wits, hugging Jasmine and shivering. She was glad that she didn't follow them.
They also lamented that it was a pity that they didn't bring the bobbit worm's body back. Otherwise, if they put it in front of the aquarium, it would definitely attract a lot of customers …
After listening to the end, Zhang Zian couldn't stand it anymore and told them to get back to work.
He took out his car keys and planned to go to the beach when there were no customers in the morning. He would play Sihwa's song in the sea to drive away the marine creatures that were attracted. Of course, before playing it, he had to see if there were any interesting creatures on the beach first.
Knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door twice.
The glass door of the pet shop was always open after the start of business every day. Customers generally didn't knock on the door when they came in.
Zhang Zian looked at the door and saw that it was Jiang Feifei.
After yesterday's fierce battle with the bobbit worm, everyone went their separate ways. Jiang Feifei had also returned to school.
"Good morning, Store Manager Zhang." She glanced around the shop a little nervously. Seeing that there were no customers for the time being, she relaxed a little.
"Good morning, what's up? Oh, right, Snowy hasn't been here for the past two days. The power bank is still with me. "Zhang Zian walked over. He knew that this girl lived in the school dormitory, so it was impossible for her to be here to buy a pet.
"No, I'm here to ask …" She hesitated and repeatedly made up her mind before saying, "I want to ask if you're short of hands here? I want to try working here … "
To be honest, Zhang Zian was really short of hands. He had planned to recruit workers on the public account in a few days, and the location of work was the Amazing Fate Aquarium. He didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to come to him.
Wang Qian and Li Kun were careless and unreliable. They were good at odd jobs, fast and neat, and they could also answer some common pet questions. But if they were cashiers, the pet shop would probably go out of business the next day …
Although the pet shop and the aquarium were adjacent to each other, they each had their own independent entrances and exits. The pets and decorations inside were completely different, and the customer groups were also different. It was unrealistic for Lu Yi Yun to travel back and forth between the two shops. They needed to hire another cashier from the aquarium. Although it was hard to say, it was obvious that attentive women would be prioritized.
It wasn't difficult to recruit a cashier, but Zhang Zian didn't want to recruit an ordinary cashier who was only there to earn a salary. The cashier would have to be like a walking dead, mechanically collecting money. At the very least, the cashier would have to have some understanding of aquatic creatures and be able to answer simple questions from customers. It would be best if the cashier was passionate about raising aquatic creatures.
There were many girls who liked cats and dogs, but most of the people who liked raising fish and other aquatic creatures were men. Raising fish was a systematic project. If you wanted to raise them well, you had to be good at manipulating all kinds of aquarium equipment. When the fish got sick, you had to analyze the illness and treat it yourself. The most important thing was that fish didn't have furry fur. Their bodies were covered with slippery mucus. You could pet cats and dogs, but he had never heard of anyone petting fish …
Zhang Zian was having a headache over this matter. Of course, he was happy to see Jiang Feifei recommending herself. He knew that this girl used to go to the beach for wild harvesting. She liked the sea, and her passion for aquatic creatures was not a problem. Yesterday, when she saw such a terrifying creature as the bobbit worm, she didn't scream like a normal girl. She was the best candidate for the cashier position at the aquarium.
However, he didn't agree immediately. Even if it was just a formality, he still had to clarify things first.
"I do need a cashier here, but I remember that you're a senior at Binhai University, right? Do you have a job as a tutor? Do you have time to work here? "he asked in detail.
"Yes." She nodded.
She hadn't seen the recruitment notice there, so she felt a little embarrassed to come forward and recommend herself. It would be awkward if the aquarium wasn't hiring.
When she heard that Zhang Zian was short of people, her heartbeat sped up. She said quickly, "I'm a senior, and I'll graduate soon. My family's financial situation isn't very good, so I plan to work after graduation. As a tutor … I'm planning to quit. I'm not very good at teaching children, and tutoring is not a job that I can continue to do for a long time. It's better to find a formal job. That … I'm majoring in tourism management. The employment prospects for this major aren't very good. After graduation, I plan to find a job in an aquarium or a zoo. So instead of continuing to tutor, it's better to come here and actually come into contact with animals and accumulate some experience. Maybe it'll give me some advantages when I get a job. "
She had prepared these words before she came. She said them in one breath, then looked at Zhang Zian's face nervously, waiting for his reply.
Zhang Zian listened and felt that she was very honest. From her words, he could tell that she was a down-to-earth girl who had plans for the future. She wasn't here with the idea of muddling through life.
The job of an aquarium cashier did not have any advantages compared to a tutor. Tutors had flexible hours, easy work, and a high salary. Moreover, "tutor" sounded more prestigious than "cashier," so it was the first choice of many college students.
She was able to plan for the future and make up her mind to quit her easy tutoring job to work here. She had already left many of her peers behind.
Zhang Zian nodded. "I understand. My aquarium hasn't officially opened for business yet, but I do need a cashier. Other than being a cashier, you'll also have to help take care of the aquarium creatures in the aquarium. Are you interested?"
"Yes!" she answered excitedly.
She had met Zhang Zian twice at the entrance of the aquarium market and at Welder Zhao's house. She felt that he was very knowledgeable about aquarium creatures, at least much more knowledgeable than she was. If she could work here, she would definitely learn a lot of useful knowledge. Although it might not be reflected on her resume, it would definitely be useful when she went to the aquarium or zoo for a job interview in the future.
Yesterday, before leaving Welder Zhao's house, she had added Wang Qian and Li Kun on WeChat. Through chatting and browsing through their Moments, she found out about the working environment here. She knew that the atmosphere here was very relaxed, and the store manager's personality was also very cheerful. Working here was a very pleasant thing, and she could also get close to the Berlin Film Festival's Best Actor …
"Okay, you're hired," Zhang Zian said happily. He called Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yiyun over.
"Everyone, come over. You've all met Jiang Feifei. From today onwards, she'll be working in our shop. She's mainly responsible for the aquarium's cashier. Everyone, please welcome her."
"Hello, everyone! I'm new here. Please take care of me in the future! "Jiang Feifei bowed solemnly to show her respect.
Wang Qian and Li Kun, with their carefree personalities, were, of course, very happy. "Aiya, senior, you've come here to cultivate, too? Welcome! "
Ever since Jiang Feifei had seen their Moments, she had a general understanding of their personalities. She automatically ignored the chuunibyou in their words. She nodded and smiled. "In school, I'm a senior. Here, you're my seniors. Please take care of me."
After receiving her compliments, Wang Qian and Li Kun were so happy that their snot bubbles were about to come out. They immediately patted their chests and boasted that she could look for them if she had any problems.
"Welcome, Sister Feifei!"
Lu Yiyun was also very happy. She pursed her lips and smiled.
She was the only girl in the permanent population here. Sometimes, she was too lonely to eat with Zhang Zian and the others during lunch. Even though they often called her over, she always used the excuse of guarding the cashier as an excuse to sit alone at the door and silently eat her lunch.
Now that she had Jiang Feifei's company, and they were both cashiers, the two of them could share a table for lunch.
"Hello, Xiao Yun! There are a lot of things I don't understand about cashiers. I'll have to trouble you to teach me! "Jiang Feifei responded with a smile.
Zhang Zian was deeply gratified. In addition to the pair of clowns and a senior otaku, there was finally another normal person in the shop. He naturally classified himself as a normal person. He didn't know that in Wang Qian and Li Kun's Moments, he was a cross-dressing boss, but in Lu Yiyun's comics, he was a muscular gay man who would crazily rip his clothes off …
"Xiao Yun, print her an employee entry form and let her fill it out. I also need a copy of her ID card. Did you bring your ID card? I have to see it. " After he finished instructing Lu Yiyun, he said to Jiang Feifei proudly, "Although my shop is small and there aren't many people, it's still very formal."
She claimed that she was a student at Binhai University, but he couldn't just believe what she said. He had to check her identity.
"Okay, I brought it with me." Jiang Feifei nodded and took out her ID card and student ID card for Zhang Zian to see.
Lu Yiyun printed an employee entry form and found a chair for Jiang Feifei to sit down. She went to make a copy of her ID card for her to keep.
Jiang Feifei filled it out very seriously, then signed it neatly and gave it to Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian quickly glanced at it and roughly understood her hometown, address, and past growth trajectory. He gave it to Lu Yiyun to put away.
"Quack! I heard that there's a new person in the shop? Should we celebrate with some nuts? "When Richard heard the news, it flapped its wings and flew out of the shop.
Jiang Feifei was shocked. Even when she saw the bobbit worm, she wasn't so surprised. This was because the big gray parrot's speech was no different from a human's. It was even more standard than her Mandarin, which had a local accent.
Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yiyun were not surprised.
"Don't be afraid!" Zhang Zian smiled and comforted her. "There are still many things in this shop that you don't understand. You'll slowly get used to it."
"Oh … okay, I got it."
Jiang Feifei responded, not really understanding. She secretly clenched her fists and silently cheered for her new working life.
