Chapter 51: Chapter 51: A Stable Job Chapter 51: Chapter 51: A Stable Job He was indeed a 7-year-old, but the harsh reality forced him to become a young adult, so much so…that sometimes he forgot…he was just a 7-year-old. Now he understood why Boss Su gave him such an easy task…he(Boss Su) just wanted him to grow up like a normal child… Yuan Xin wanted to reject this kind offer of from Boss Su…but… he truly couldn’t bear to. The only thing he could do is…once he grows up, and awakens a superpower…he will repay Boss Su, Fei Bao, and Sister Su! “Thank you.” He said softly. “You are kind.” “Don’t think I am doing some kind deeds,” Su Jiyai frowned, “You are one of my own people, how can you be so miserable?” Yuan Xin’s moistened eyes softened, “Yeah. I am one of your people.” “Good. You remembered all the details I told you, right?” “Yes. I will remember everything,” Yuan Xin nodded earnestly, wiping his eyes. He felt a warmth in his heart that he hadn’t felt in a long time. “Good,” Su Jiyai replied, her tone softening slightly. “Remember, this place is your home now too. Treat it as such, and treat the people who come here like they are entering their own sanctuary.” Yuan Xin nodded again, this time with more confidence. “I will, Boss Su. I promise.” “Good now I want you to collect the gold and convert it into points.” Su Jiyai’s heart ached. To weigh the gold properly and convert gold into points, Su Jiyai took a small loan from the system. To ensure there were enough points to transfer, Su Jiyai took another big loan of 1 million points. Only Su Jiyai knows how much her heart was bleeding! 1 million points! That was 1000 zombie crystals! Until and unless she recruits 20 more customers who can rent the room for a month, the debt will weigh heavily on her. “The machine has been delivered to your room.” Su Jiyai informed. “Okay.” Yuan Xin left, while Su Jiayi did some warm-up exercises. By the next morning, Su Jiyai was able to collect 1 kg of gold. The rate of exchange was 1:10,000. 1 gram of gold cost 10,000 federal coins. Su Jiyai’s heart was bleeding. If she doesn’t earn enough profit later…she will cry! Su Jiyai checked her to-do list. Most of her tasks were over…except for getting some luck from Rui Wang. Ah! What excuse should she use… Just as she was wondering for some excuse to get on the good side of Rui Wang, she heard the system’s prompt. [Host, Rui Wang’s husband, Fu Lin wants to talk.] Su Jiyai turned on the monitor as well as the microphone. As expected she saw Fu Lin who had an embarrassed expression on his face. “Did he call me?” Su Jiyai asked. She wasn’t constantly monitoring the situation of her tenants, nor did she have any notification system that would announce to her if someone wanted to talk with her until and unless they clicked on the button in their room. [No, host but he is planning to.] “Oh.” Su Jiyai waited for Fu Lin to press the button. Fu Lin hesitated as he looked at Rui Wang who showed him a sigh of ‘fighting’ Honestly, he wasn’t sure whether Boss Su would even agree. Yesterday when his wife heard about Yuan Xin’s employment, she asked him to apply. Yuan Xin’s task of being a receptionist and getting free food and stay attracted a lot of people’s attention. Rui Wang was one among them. She didn’t want to push her luck…but the thought of her husband having a stable job…was too tempting. What if…what if they were lucky and got a stable job? Every time her husband sets out for a hunt, her heart beats with anxiety… When she used to hunt along side her husband, she had a chance encounter with a zombie king. That day…she realized how fragile human lives are. That day she almost lost her husband too.. She didn’t want to experience that anxiety again…She didn’t want to hear any bad news…not when things started to become so good… A stable and well-protected home, cheap rent yet beautiful environment, cheap yet delicious food…. All of these during the time of the apocalypse is just like luxury. She wants to enjoy this luxury along with her family… Hence she asked her husband to talk with Boss Su. Maybe…maybe Boss Su has a stable job… A job that guarantees her husband’s safety would be enough. Even if Boss Su pays less…it will be okay! She doesn’t fear living a poor life…what she fears the most is living without her husband… Fu Lin took a deep breath and pressed the button. He didn’t have much hope, but he couldn’t bring himself to decline any of his wife’s requests… Ding Dong. “Hello. What do you want to talk about?” A few seconds later Su Jiyai’s voice came from the speaker. Fu Lin gulped, “Ah…Boss Su I want to ask whether you have any…job…that…that I could apply for?” He was filled with shame. He understood the reason why Boss Su hired Yuan Xin…he(Boss Su) just wanted to give him a chance to survive. But why would Boss Su give him any job? Su Jiyai thought for a while and her eyes brightened. She thought of a way to achieve two goals with just one arrow. “Job? I do have one…but I have many applicants who are applying it for.” Su Jiyai wasn’t lying. Till now she received more than 5 job requests… Fu Lin’s heart sank. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He knew the competition would be fierce. How could he possibly stand out among so many applicants? “What…what kind of job is it, Boss Su?” Fu Lin asked, trying to keep the desperation out of his voice. “I want someone who can check the identity of potential tenants, pick them up, and send out flyers while my driver is away. Do you remember the car in which my driver dropped you off here?” “Yes.” Fu Lin subconsciously blurted it. “Hm. That car can be set to automatically throw the flyer, you don’t need to drive too and it has an automatic security mechanism. Even a zombie king couldn’t harm the person sitting in the car. So the job is to sit in the car and do all the three tasks I mentioned before.” Fu Lin and Rui Wang were surprised. Such an easy job? But… Fu Lin’s face was tinged with worry as he said, “Won’t…that be equivalent to snatching other Boss Su’s job?” Even Rui Wang’s face turned pale as she said softly, “Lin, don’t apply if it truly snatched away other Boss Su’s job…” It took Su Jiyai a minute to understand that Fu Lin was talking about her second identity as a driver… Su Jiyai chuckled in her heart, however, she was impressed by the couple’s behavior. She had mentioned the same job to the other 5 people and they applied for it without any hesitation. However, Rui Wang and Fu Lin remembered the driver Boss Su’s kindness and didn’t snatch away an opportunity that might belong to someone else. “Don’t worry,” Su Jiyai said with a smile in her voice, “You’re not taking away anyone’s job. My driver will be busy with other tasks, so I need someone trustworthy to handle these responsibilities. I wouldn’t have offered you the position if it wasn’t needed.” Fu Lin and Rui Wang’s expression improved and Fu Lin hurriedly requested, “Then I would like to apply.” Su Jiyai chuckled in her heart, “Won’t you ask for salary? ” “No, Boss Su I know you won’t mistreat us.” Fu Lin said with confidence. Su Jiyai dragged her words, “No. The salary is very low…only 30 zombie crystal per month.” Fu Lin paused. 30 zombies’ crystals are indeed very low… It was fine for now. However, once their child is born… they will have to take care of the child’s food, medicine, and other expenses… Rui Wang however felt it was enough and suggested, “Lin’er agree to it. Once I complete my confinement period I will work too, we can together earn a lot of zombie crystals.” The job may sound difficult however, all Fu Lin has to do is sit, and sometimes help the tenants to get inside. That was all… And Fu Lin was going to get 30 zombie crystals as well as employee benefits! Boss Su was truly generous! [Ding! Host, you have earned a permanent luck of 1!] Su Jiyai was surprised. Rui Wang was truly the kindest woman she has ever met! Even when she didn’t fully tell the details, Rui Wang was satisfied with the offer she(Su Jiyai) made. Fu Lin too understood Rui Wang’s thought process and felt heartache for her. To him, Rui Wang was just like a princess. However, this princess was ready to struggle for him. He was moved.
