Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Although Zhou Xiaojuan's voice was not loud, there were only Gu Tongwan, Liu Wanrou and Zhang Rong in the store at that time, so what she said was still heard. Zhang Rong was the one who reacted the fastest. She turned her head to look at the girl at the cashier with some surprise, and happened to have an embarrassed expression towards Zhou Xiaojuan. But then Zhou Xiaojuan lowered her head and continued to play with her mobile phone with some confidence, looking relaxed and idle.

In fact, Zhang Rong noticed that there was a new girl in the store when she first entered the store. After seeing her sitting at the cashier to pay, she guessed that she must be a new salesperson hired by the boss. She felt very happy at the time. After all, if the store has enough staff, the boss should be able to open the store for a long time, and she doesn't have to worry about her being too busy to take care of the store.

But they didn't expect that they only stayed in the store for less than ten minutes, but Zhang Rong saw the waiter many times neither checking the bill nor looking at the computer, and even yawned and continued to play with his mobile phone happily.

Liu Wanrou now realized that the words just now were actually directed at herself. She glanced at her clothes today. Because the temperature has dropped recently, she has not remembered to take out the thick coat she wore during the extremely cold weather in the past two years. She has been wearing the same set of fleece home clothes for the past two days. In addition, the weather is cold and she doesn't want to dress up. Anyway, no one will recognize her when she walks on the street. In fact, everyone's clothes are similar. Unless they are going to special occasions, they will pay attention to their clothes. Otherwise, at a glance, they are basically ordinary people in clothes. If someone is dressed fashionably and puts on makeup, they will definitely attract a lot of attention.

"Girl, what did you say? Can you tell me again?" Liu Wanrou put her hands on her hips and walked slowly to Zhou Xiaojuan.

Gu Tongwan frowned slightly, not because she was worried about how Liu Wanrou would treat Zhou Xiaojuan, but because she was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhou Xiaojuan's attitude.

If she was a little slack at work, there would be room for improvement, but now she is criticizing others in front of them while customers are still in the store, and even looks down on them, which shows that she looks down on this job in her heart.

"Madam boss, where did you find this new clerk? She has a bad temper. I haven't seen her do any work since I entered the store. She seems to be playing with her phone the whole time."

Gu Tongwan's slightly upturned mouth corners were now tightened into a straight line. He walked to the cashier counter and said to Zhou Xiaojuan, "You can go home now."

Zhou Xiaojuan was originally playing with her phone with her head down, but when she heard this, she immediately raised her head, and seemed a little happy: "Getting off work? Are you closing the store after today's delivery?"

She was eager to get off work. Although this job was not tiring, it was really boring. Moreover, the people who checked out in the morning called her "waitress". She came to work, not to serve others, and she felt uncomfortable hearing this title.

Seeing that she still didn't feel that she had made a mistake, Gu Tongwan sneered and said, "It's not that we're closing the store early, it's that you can leave now, and you don't need to come tomorrow. I don't think you're suitable for the job here."

"What do you mean? You want to fire me?" Zhou Xiaojuan narrowed her eyes, seeming to understand what Gu Tongwan meant.

"You come here to work, not to be a boss. I did say you can do other things when the store is not busy, but I never said you can play with your phone all the time. And you made sarcastic comments about the clothes people were wearing in front of customers. I just want to ask, what qualifications do you have?"

Gu Tongwan looked at her expressionlessly, but there was a coldness in his eyes. Even Zhou Xiaojuan, who was used to being arrogant and spoiled, couldn't help but be suddenly startled when she saw it. She subconsciously felt the coldness released by the girl in front of her who was of the same age as her, but then she thought that she was just working as a salesperson here, and her monthly salary was no more than 600 points at most. It would be embarrassing to tell others about it, especially in the small circle she was in, everyone had a good and decent job.

I'd rather not have this embarrassing job!

Zhou Xiaojuan frowned and said unhappily: "Just go, who wants to be a salesperson? I'm a college student and I'm not here to serve others." After saying that, she stood up, grabbed her cell phone, snorted coldly, and actually left the store without looking back.

Liu Wanrou didn't expect Zhou Xiaojuan to have such a bad temper. At first, she felt relieved when she saw Gu Tongwan asking her to leave, but then she thought that after she left, wouldn't the boss lady have to work hard to run the store alone again? So she looked at her with some worry.

Zhang Rong twisted her fingers as if she had lost money. If she hadn't asked an extra question just now, perhaps things wouldn't have come to this point.

Different from the other two people with worried and embarrassed expressions, Gu Tongwan seemed to be nonchalant.

"To be honest, I feel a little more relaxed after she left. Otherwise it would be like having a big shot serving in the store." Gu Tongwan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhang Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, when I first came in, I felt that this girl was unstable and her attitude was too arrogant. How could she be so engrossed in playing with her phone when the boss was around, and she was also absent-minded when checking out. Madam boss, don't blame me for being nosy. I just think that if you are looking for a salesperson, you should find someone who can endure a little hardship, so that she can run the store well."

Gu Tongwan smiled and said, "I want to work for you, but there's no suitable person. Also, my store is still small and the salary is not that high, so I guess few people would be willing to work for me."

Liu Wanrou, who was standing at the side, asked at this time: "Boss, do you mind asking how much your salary is?"

"Six hundred." Gu Tongwan felt that there was nothing to hide about the salary, so he told it quickly.

Liu Wanrou looked thoughtful, and after a while she said, "The salary is a bit low, but I think the workload here is not too heavy, so the salary should be quite reasonable."

The clerk girl in her husband's unit gets at least 850 a month, but she has to work overtime at least two or three times a week, which seems much harder than the work here. But the current market environment is like this, the salary in the outer circle is generally between 300 and 500, and the salary of waiters in restaurants outside the inner circle is also around 600, and food and accommodation are provided, but it is definitely harder than the boss's wife. After all, the boss's wife only opens the business at 8 o'clock and closes early at 6 o'clock in the evening. If you look at the workload, the work here is indeed easier, but it's a pity that she is a person who gets excited after three minutes, and her husband also feels sorry for her and doesn't want her to go out to work. The family is not short of money, otherwise Liu Wanrou would like to come here to work.

"Take your time to look for it. I'll ask if there's a suitable girl. If there is, I'll check her out for you and introduce her to you."

Liu Wanrou and Zhang Rong both have easy-going and outgoing personalities. Plus, since they've gotten to know Gu Tong better late in life, they're not as reserved in their conversation as before. So they chatted for about twenty minutes until the second peak business period. They even helped out a bit when they saw that the store was too busy.

After everyone left, Gu Tongwan sent a message to Xu Hang.

[Gu Tongwan] There are boxed lunches today, but I left twelve for you. But I’m alone in the store today and can’t leave. Is it convenient for anyone over there to come and get them?”

[Xu Hang] Yes, I'll have someone come over on a motorcycle to get it. Thank you, lady boss!

The people from the Far-Flying Guild were quick. Twenty minutes after Xu Hang sent the message, a man wearing a motorcycle helmet drove to the door of the store on what was probably a modified motorcycle.

Zhang Qi is the leader of the first group of the Far-Flying Guild. He has always had a close relationship with Xu Hang. He always heard that the boxed lunches here are delicious, but he had not eaten them before because he was on a field mission. He just saw them discussing various things in the group. He just came back from a mission this morning, and he got a spot for a boxed lunch in the group, so he volunteered to come over.

This fruit and vegetable store was not particularly eye-catching in the neighborhood. He walked around the guild before he found it. Unexpectedly, it was less than 200 meters away from the guild. However, because the store was too small and had no sign, it was easily overlooked.

And who would have thought that there would be boxed lunches for sale in a fruit and vegetable store?

Zhang Qi took off his helmet and walked into the store. He first looked around the store. The whole store was only about 20 square meters, but it was extremely clean. The vegetables on the shelves were neatly arranged, and there were quite a few varieties of vegetables, even more than those in the supply and marketing cooperatives. What surprised Zhang Qi even more was that the vegetables here looked extremely fresh, as if they had just been picked from the vegetable garden. Both the size and the color showed that they were high-quality vegetables.

Just when Zhang Qi was wondering about the variety of vegetables here, he smelled a rich fruity aroma, and then he saw that there were big red apples and plump pears on a shelf on the right. Although the price was not cheap, it was definitely worth it considering the size of the vegetables.

Because the vegetables and fruits in the store completely attracted Zhang Qi, he even forgot at that moment that he came here to get a lunch box.

It was not until the sound of typing on the keyboard caught Zhang Qi's attention that he reacted and turned towards the cashier counter. At this time, Gu Tongwan just raised her head, and a cold and beautiful face under the baseball cap came into Zhang Qi's eyes.

Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, then he quickly took out his name card and handed it over: "I'm from the Far-Flying Guild, my...my name is Zhang Qi." He almost slipped his tongue due to nervousness. Zhang Qi felt that he had never been so embarrassed.

Gu Tongwan didn't know what Zhang Qi was thinking. After taking the brand-name card, he swiped the points for the lunch box consumption on the cash register, and then said with a smile: "Twelve lunch boxes, a total of 300 points. Because the price of vegetables has increased recently, the price of the lunch box will be slightly changed every day according to the price of vegetables, but it will basically remain at around points. If it exceeds, I will tell Xu Hang in advance."

Zhang Qi didn't mind the price increase of lunch boxes, but he felt embarrassed to look into her eyes.

Although he had heard that the proprietress here was a beautiful girl, Zhang Qi didn't quite believe it at the time, or was a little skeptical. After all, the men in the guild these days were as fierce as wolves and tigers. On the one hand, it was difficult to find a suitable partner. After all, they were hunters to put it nicely, but in fact, they were similar to mercenaries. Whenever there were field missions, there would basically be casualties. It could be said that this was a job on the edge of a knife, so girls who dated this kind of people would definitely have many concerns.

Secondly, the girls in the inner circle of the base have higher requirements. In addition to having a stable job, they also need to have an independent house whether rented or bought. These girls just want to have a private space.

In addition, the current ratio of men to women in the base is not balanced, with a ratio of 7 to 3, that is, among the 300,000 people in the base, the male population base is 200,000, and the female population accounts for less than 100,000. For this reason, the members of the Far Sailing Guild always comfort themselves that there is a reason why they are single. Among the 30 or so people in the guild, only three got married before the end of the world, and less than four found a partner after arriving at the base. The rest are all old bachelors, and they often joke with each other.

Gu Tongwan pointed to the thermos bucket opposite, "The lunch boxes are in there, count the number of portions yourself, and there is an eco-friendly bag next to it, just take this bag and continue to pack next time."

Zhang Qi was too embarrassed to say a word during the whole process, and his usually active nature became a little reserved in front of the beautiful girl.

I didn't even remember asking the person's name until I left, but remembering that Xu Hang had his contact information, I accelerated and sped up the motorcycle towards the dormitory like a gust of wind.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he didn't care about the other people who were waiting anxiously for lunch. Zhang Qi immediately rushed to Xu Hang's room and asked excitedly, "Xu Hang, give me the boss's wife's contact information as soon as possible."

Xu Hang was lying on the bed playing with his phone. He was startled by Zhang Qi running over after the door was kicked open. When he saw Zhang Qi's excited face, he understood what was going on. He rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Don't raise your useless hopes. You have no chance."

Zhang Qi was unhappy when he heard this, "How can you talk like that? I haven't even started pursuing you yet, and you already know I have no chance? Are you my brother? Why are you so mean to me?"

"I'm reminding you because I'm your brother, telling you not to work in vain. You don't even consider your own conditions and others' conditions. Besides, how could such a beautiful girl not have a boyfriend? I advise you not to be ungrateful." Xu Hang said with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart, if you had the chance, would it have been your turn?

Zhang Qi was not discouraged at all. He pestered Xu Hang for a long time and finally got Gu Tongwan's contact information.

Originally thinking that the day would pass peacefully, Gu Tongwan sent a message to Liao Yunyun to briefly tell her about Zhou Xiaojuan's situation. Unexpectedly, Liao Yunyun felt embarrassed after hearing it.

And on that night, Gu Tongwan's shop was robbed.
