Chapter 6: The Nine Picture Workshop
Jiangbei City can only be regarded as a small city on the Kuixing Continent, but it has a permanent population of millions, of which the number of warriors is about one-tenth.
Jiutufang is a large-scale trading house in the city, mainly dealing in various resource businesses related to the cultivation of martial artists. The owner of the workshop is a martial arts powerhouse who has stepped into the innate realm, and he has great influence and status in the city.
"Xu Ya, how did you think about the incident I mentioned to you earlier?" In the room, a man sat and spoke to a young woman.
The man was dressed in fine clothes, about fifty years old, with a thief's eyebrows and a mustache on his lips. And the woman standing in front of him was beautiful and exquisite.
"Don't worry about it, I can't promise you." Xu Ya glanced at the man, a little timid, but still shook her head and said.
Mo Guan frowned, and his face showed displeasure.
He snorted coldly and said, "Xu Ya, I'm giving you a chance!" ”
"Think about it, if you lose this job at Jiutufang, what will you do in the future! What about your bedridden mother? ”
"You don't think about yourself, you have to think about your mother, do you? As long as you promise to follow me in the future, I promise that I will not treat you badly. But if you don't know what to do, then I can only do business, please leave the Nine Picture Workshop. Steward Mo said continuously.
Xu Ya's delicate cheeks were pale, and her body trembled slightly.
The man in front of him is the steward of Jiutufang and her top boss. Half a month ago, in this cramped room, Steward Mo made an extremely excessive request to her. said that as long as she was willing to be a concubine who didn't care about things, she could be promoted to the foreman of the lobby of Jiutufang.
She doesn't want to be a careless concubine!
So after half a month apart, she once again refused the coercion and temptation of Mo Guan.
"Don't worry about it, I didn't do anything wrong, you can't fire me." Xu Ya plucked up courage and said.
She can't afford to lose her job at the Nine Picture Workshop, where she has a base salary of ten gold coins a month. The bedridden mother at home also needs her salary to save her life.
She didn't know what to do if she lost her job. She herself may be fine, even if she finds a tiring and undignified job outside, but her seriously ill mother needs at least eight gold coins a month for medicine. Ordinary jobs, but not so much pay.
"Huh." Director Mo sneered: "Xu Ya, do you have to make my words so clear?" You've been here for more than three months, right? You do the math, what performance have you had in more than three months. Every month, you're at the bottom of the list, and you're a big cut behind the others. ”
"Based on your performance, according to the regulations, I should have fired you a long time ago. I have allowed you to do your best now! ”
"Xu Ya, I'll give you the last three days. After three days, you'd better give me a definite answer. Otherwise, I can only ask you to find another job. After finishing his words, he waved his hand.
When Xu Ya left the room in charge of Mo, her eyes were red.
She quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and tried to put a smile on her face, she didn't want her colleagues to see her jokes, and she didn't want to accept the superficial care of her colleagues.
Three days.
If in these three days, her performance still did not improve much. I was afraid that in three days, she would be swept away mercilessly by Mo Guan.
"Xu Ya, don't you talk to you again? He really cares about you. In the lobby, a waitress with a good face said to Xu Ya.
"I heard that Manager Mo intends to promote Xu Ya to the lobby leader. Xu Ya, is there such a thing? ”
"Xu Ya has only been here for three months, and she is about to be promoted? Don't care, it's really eccentric. ”
The waitresses, gossiping.
"There is no such thing as no, no." Xu Ya waved her hand again and again, and explained with a flushed face.
But no matter how she explained, these waitresses still held on.
Most of them were congratulatory words, but in fact, in their hearts, they were slandering Xu Ya. They felt that Xu Ya must have used her body to exchange for benefits from Mo Guan.
Vixen, don't you just look a little pureer, what's the big deal?
……
"Nine Picture Workshop." Ning Yan, who was in the dust, stood in front of the main entrance of the five-story Jiutufang building.
He wants to take action against the snow rat captured from the Goo Thorn Mountain, and a trading house like Jiutufang is a good choice.
Jiutufang's bid for snow rats may not be as high as some small shops. However, by selling twelve snow rats here, Ning Yan doesn't have to worry about being owed. And if it is a small shop, it is likely that it will not be able to take out so many spot gold coins at once.
"I haven't been to Jiutufang for eight years." Ning Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he remembered that when his father Ning Donghe was still alive, he had brought him to Jiutufang.
What happened eight years ago, now that I think about it, it seems like a lifetime away. Even his father's appearance doesn't seem to be so clear.
With a long exhale, banishing distracting thoughts from his mind, Ning Yan strode into the gate of the Nine Picture Workshop.
As soon as he stepped into the main entrance, the eyes of the five or six waitresses in the lobby instantly fell on him.
The waitresses in Jiutufang, although the salary is very high, they also have a lot of performance pressure. Everyone, there are performance indicators. If they fail to do so, they will be criticized at least and expelled at worst.
Of course, if the performance is very good, you can also get a very generous commission reward.
Most of the waitresses who have worked in Jiutufang for a long time have regular customers in their hands, and they are good at cultivating relationships with big customers. Sometimes even at the expense of one's own body in order to catch a big customer.
The eyes of the waiters stared at Ning Yan, who had just walked in, and they quickly shook their heads, revealing a look of disappointment.
Ning Yan stayed in Gu Thorn Mountain for seven or eight days, his clothes were ragged and unkempt, and he was carrying a large dirty package behind him. With such an image, it seems that it is impossible to be a big customer, but more like a poor boy in the mountains.
Therefore, they just glanced at Ning Yan a few times, and then they were either chatting or busy with their own affairs.
Ning Yan stood at the main entrance and waited for a while, but no one greeted him. He remembered that when he came to the Jiutu Fang with his father many years ago, the waiter in the lobby did not have such an attitude. Even when the owner heard the news, he immediately came down to greet him politely.
"Well, it can't be compared to the past. It's better to sell the snow rat and replace it with spirit stones and other resources, and hurry back to practice and improve the realm of martial arts. Ning Yan changed his mind and was about to walk to the nearest counter to him.
At this time, a waiter in a light green skirt trotted all the way from the inner warehouse to Ning Yan.
The waiter in the green dress is Xu Ya.
"Welcome to the Nine Picture Workshop." Xu Ya smiled sweetly and said, "My name is Xu Ya, and I am the waiter of the Nine Picture Workshop, is there anything I can help you with?" ”
"I'd like to sell some spirit beast-related items." Ning Yan looked at Xu Ya, who looked dusty in front of him, and smiled: "I heard that the children of Jiutufang are not deceived and the price is fair, so I came here to take a look." ”
