Zhang Zi'an returned to the store and pondered for a while what he should do today.

Since Tim's cat food from the United States is expected to arrive today, he can't go far and can only wander around the neighborhood and go to the supermarket to buy something - like steak, but he really doesn't have confidence in his ability to fry steaks, let alone medium-rare, just don't fry them......

Fina glared at him and reminded him that it was time to get breakfast.

Zhang Zi'an put on his coat helplessly, and if he really didn't want to cook steak, he asked Uncle Li to buy it and fry it, but he always troubled people and looked a little embarrassed.

The business in Uncle Li's shop is still not improving, and only two or three people are eating breakfast in the morning, which is not as good as when the cart sold breakfast before. He told Uncle Li about the matter, and Uncle Li happily agreed, although his face was sad, but it was not for Zhang Zi'an.

When Zhang Zi'an walked back with a foam insulated box, he found a girl lingering at the door.

Dressed in a knee-length long down jacket, woolen gloves, and a flaming red scarf, she looked nervously east and west like an underground worker waiting for a joint. Her stay in the sea was very long, covering her eyes, and her scarf was high enough to cover her chin, plus a pair of wide and large thick glasses, which almost completely hid her entire face, and it was no problem to rob a bank in this dress.

"Uh, who are you looking for?" Zhang Zi'an asked.

She hurriedly pulled down the scarf a little, revealed a small half of her face, exhaled a white breath and said, "Shop...... Mr. manager, I ...... I think...... Work. ”

The girl seemed nervous, stammered as she spoke, wringed her hands so hard that her face turned red.

Zhang Zi'an frowned and looked at her face, "Are you ...... Sorry, I can't remember. ”

"Lu Yiyun. She said, not stammering when she said her name.

The girl who came was Lu Yiyun.

Recently, Lu Yiyun's illustration work has been getting better and better, and her life has gradually become more prosperous, unlike in the summer, when she first entered the industry, life was tight, and even her cat Jasmine became a little fat - when she came to wash the cat before, she heard Zhang Zi'an say that Jasmine may have the blood of Chinchilla, but now she is more and more suspicious that it is an orange cat, everyone says that nine out of ten orange cats are fat, and one is particularly strong......

However, although she had spare money to buy better digital equipment and daily necessities, she was horrified to find another problem - because she hardly communicated with people in real life, after half a year of living alone, she became so nervous that she stuttered whenever she talked to people.

Lu Yiyun is not satisfied with drawing illustrations for others all the time, she knows that this has no future, her ultimate dream is to become a cartoonist, although this profession is not accepted by the Chinese public for the time being, although this ideal is still far away, she is still gritting her teeth and moving towards her goal step by step. However, when she submitted articles to comic websites or magazines, she encountered another problem, and the editors of the other party often replied: the drawing is great, the characters and subject matter are average, the dialogue is stiff and unfeatured, and she hopes to improve it.

She can only draw, has no writing skills, and does not communicate with people in reality, so she is always anxious when writing dialogues, knowing that this will not work, but there is no good solution.

When she heard in Xiaoxue's live broadcast room that Qiyuan Pet Store needed to recruit artists, she suddenly remembered that she could try it. The house she rents is in the neighborhood next to Qiyuan Pet Store, which is very convenient to come and go, and the most important thing is that she has dealt with Zhang Zi'an twice, and she is not as strange as others in reality.

As a super-heavy housegirl, she has been at home for a long time, she is afraid of the outside world, afraid of the communication between people, and it is a big test for her to go out of the house to work, she actually wanted to come over a few days ago, but every time she went out, she lost her courage.

She hated her cowardice, and knew that if she continued like this, she would slowly rot in this cramped rental house until she was completely detached from society and forgotten by everyone...... Even, she couldn't help but think of the news she saw on the Internet, some people who lived alone died of sudden illness, and only after their bodies smelled of rancid smell were called by neighbors...... She doesn't want to be like this, it's enough to be pointed at by her neighbors, and she doesn't want to be pointed at even when she dies.

Today, she finally made up her mind to get out of the house.

She's never worked, never, but she knew she needed to go through an interview to get to work.

Along the way, her mind was filled with jumbled questions, such as what to do if the interview was rejected, or what to do if the store manager had already hired someone due to her repeated procrastination...... She tried to go home several times halfway, and retracted into the nest like a frightened cub, but fortunately, the distance between the rental house and the pet store was close enough, and before she knew it, she had already arrived.

When talking to Zhang Zi'an, she sweated nervously, and kept telling herself not to stutter, but she stuttered.

Fortunately, Zhang Zi'an didn't seem to care much, and said casually: "Go to work, come in and say, it's cold outside." ”

He pulled the roller shutter in, "Please come in." ”

Lu Yiyun followed him into the store, but found that the store was completely different from the last time she came here, it was completely renovated, and there were many more cats and dogs in the store, especially a big wolf dog that looked fierce.

As soon as Zhang Zi'an turned around, he saw that she was staring at Feimas as if she was a little scared, so he was relieved: "Don't be afraid, it doesn't bite, it's an angel." ”

"Huh?" Lu Yiyun was stunned in surprise, "God...... Angels?"

In such an instant, her nervousness was diluted by surprise!

When Feimas heard Zhang Zi'an's words, he immediately raised his head with his chest straight, squatted on the ground very majestically, and screamed twice.

It's saying, "Yes, I'm going to be an angel!"

Lu Yiyun took a few more glances at it and found that it was very honest and well-behaved, unlike the big wolf dog in her rural hometown who liked to bark and bite like it, so she was somewhat relieved. She said in her heart that Zhang Zi'an deserves to open a pet shop, and this dog is really well trained!

Zhang Zi'an pointed to the brand-new cash register and said, "Your work location is here, you are in charge of cashier when there are customers, and occasionally update the store's WeChat public account when there are no customers, it's as simple as that." By the way, I remember that you wrote very well and could draw, right?"

Lu Yiyun took out the USB flash drive from his pocket and said, "I brought my previous works. ”

On the cash register was a desktop computer that Zhang Zi'an had purchased online, and he motioned for her to operate it herself.

She turned on the computer, and when she entered the desktop, she inserted the USB flash drive into the USB port and started the slideshow mode of the picture browser.

"You drew these?" This time it was Zhang Zi'an's turn to be surprised, because the beautiful pictures on the screen made him dizzy, no less than the welfare pictures he saw from the P station, no matter how you look at it, this has a professional level.

Lu Yiyun didn't speak, she pointed to the signature in the lower right corner of each picture, facts speak louder than words.

"Uh...... To be honest, your level is too high, it's a bit condescending to come to me to do this......" Zhang Zi'an said honestly, "The salary is low for you, you definitely don't want to give it high...... I'm at a loss, because I don't need such a high-level artist......"

"It doesn't matter. Lu Yiyun shook her head, she didn't expect to earn much money here, but just a window for her to get in touch with society. "As long as I pay a normal wage, I only have one condition......"

"What conditions?" Zhang Zi'an asked.

"When there are no guests, I want to ...... Can you draw some of your own here?" she asked quietly.

"Absolutely. What's wrong with that? When you're idle, you're idle, and you can do whatever you want. Zhang Zi'an felt that this condition was too simple, and agreed without hesitation.

"That'...... Did I pass the interview?" she asked, apprehensively.

Zhang Zi'an felt that he had taken a big advantage, and hurriedly said: "Passed." ”

Lu Yiyun got what she wanted, and she was also relieved and less nervous, "When am I coming to work?"

"Uh......" Zhang Zi'an thought for a moment, "I'm going to reopen here in two days...... Come over tomorrow morning, I'll tell you what it's useful and how much it costs, and then I'll teach you how to get a membership card for a customer, how about it?"

"Good. She bowed slightly, as if she had already regarded Zhang Zi'an as her boss.

"You go back today, and come back tomorrow morning. As if remembering something, Zhang Zi'an raised his hand and pointed at her hair, "By the way, do you want to go to the barber shop and cut your hair shorter, it's all up to your eyes...... Of course, it's not a hard and fast rule, if you don't want to, forget it. ”

She was stunned when she heard this, and rolled her fingers around the sea in front of her forehead, and found that it was indeed too long.

"Okay. I'll go back and cut it myself. She said, "Oh, I need to bring some drawing tools, like a pen tablet or something, okay?"

"Of course you can, you don't have to ask for instructions on these little things, this is my business, I should have prepared it for the employees in advance, but I don't know how to paint, I'm afraid of buying the wrong one."

Zhang Zi'an always thinks she is a little weird, but it doesn't matter, anyway, he himself is a weird in the eyes of others, Wang Qian and Li Kun are also weirdos, and even Xiaoxue is also weird, this is the so-called gathering of likes.

Anyway, he finally has a permanent employee here, and he looks quite stable, not like a talkative person, and his art skills are superb, which is really perfect, so that when he has something to do, he doesn't always have to be forced to close the store.

When Guo Dongyue was redecorating, in order to prevent the pets in the store from running out, he deliberately installed an automatic sensor door between the cash register and the interior of the store.

Zhang Zi'an sent a message to Xiaoxue, "I have returned to China, and now I am in the store, and I can travel at any time." ”

Xiaoxue: "OK, I'll contact Sister Deng Jie immediately." ”
