Chapter 167 The Cat's Shock
"Diona, please close the shop door for me, otherwise customers will come in and ask questions again."
"Okay, store manager!"
"Just call me boss from now on."
"Okay, boss."
"Your Liyue dialect doesn't sound very standard?"
"Well... I learned this from the adventurers in the tavern..."
"Can you write Liyue script?"
"I...I'm not very good at writing...sorry!"
“It’s okay, there are other people in the shop, they can handle the bookkeeping. The things we do in the shop are pretty simple, basically the same as what you used to do at the pub.”
Diona's cat ears twitched, and she asked excitedly, "Boss, would you like me to help make the juice?"
"Making rainbow juice is very simple. You just need to dilute the fruit pulp. I can do it all by myself right now. I don't need your help."
"Oh……"
Diona was somewhat disappointed.
"Your job assignment is as a waiter/waitress, which means greeting customers into the store, taking orders, collecting money, wiping tables, etc., just like the other five employees in the store for the time being."
"Five... employees?"
"Well, what happened?"
"Boss, your shop isn't that big, so why do you have so many employees?"
"Diona, you may not know this since you just arrived in Liyue, but our shop is usually very busy. With the addition of delivery service, we simply can't keep up with the demand without hiring more employees."
"Oh okay!"
"They all went out today, but they'll be back soon. I'll introduce you to each other then."
"it is good!"
"Our store's opening hours are posted on the door, you should have seen them, right?"
"I... can't quite understand... the Liyue script..."
Diona blushed slightly.
"It's okay, let me tell you. We work five days a week from Monday to Friday, then have two days off. Our working hours are from 9 am to 6 pm every day, with a two-hour lunch break in between."
“So relaxing!”
Was the bar where you used to work very tiring?
“I’m working part-time, so it’s okay. But I see that those women work very hard. They have to start work at 8 a.m. and are still busy at 10 p.m.
"so late?"
"Because no matter how late it is, adventurers will always come to the tavern for a drink, and business is even better at night than during the day!"
"No holidays?"
"Cat Tail Tavern is open every day! But you can ask for leave if you have something to do at home. The tavern owner is very easy to talk to!"
"How was your salary before?"
"It's great! Although the base salary for part-time jobs is lower, I'm a bartender, so I get a commission on every drink I make!"
How much do you make in a month?
"Seven or eight thousand! I earn more than my dad does hunting!"
"Hmm, not bad... Let me tell you about the benefits in our store. Your basic salary is 1 per month."
"...1!"
"We also have a bonus system. Every month, I will give you an evaluation based on your work performance, which will be divided into three levels: excellent, good, and average. The corresponding bonus percentages are 100%, 50%, and 20% of the basic salary, respectively."
"bonus!"
"As for food and accommodation, we usually cook for ourselves at home. There is one last empty room upstairs. You can move in and live with us, or you can rent a place outside, but there will be no subsidy."
"I... live with everyone!"
"Okay, that covers the basics. Do you have any more questions?"
"there is none left!"
"As for the employment contract, I only have the Liyue version in text here right now, which you probably can't understand very well... I'll go to Miss Yanfei another day and ask her to make a Mondstadt version in text, and then I'll sign it with you, how about that?"
"it is good!"
"Welcome to our summer shop."
"I'll do my best, boss!"
"Next, let me introduce you to another employee in the store, Ms. Akabane. Please come out and say hello to our new employee."
A white shadow suddenly appeared beside the table.
Diona was startled, and her tail stood up involuntarily.
"boss!!"
"Don't be nervous! This is Miss Akabane. Because she is a ghost, she can't usually appear in front of customers. She is mainly responsible for washing cups and watching the shop at night."
"ghost!?"
"Diona, hello there." Akabane looked at her with a smile. "Are you afraid of me?"
"I...I'm not afraid of you!...I was just startled by your sudden appearance!"
"What an adorable child! May I touch your ears?"
"No! You...you stay away from me, boss!"
"Miss Akabane, please stop now."
"Okay, boss."
Xia Zhi shook his head. He had originally wanted Miss Akabane to show Diona around the store and let her get familiar with the situation.
Seeing how scared the cat looks, I think I'll pass.
After sitting for a while, Zhu Zi and Qi Qi returned.
"Boss, I've mailed the package, and the key has been copied!"
"Okay, come here, let me introduce you to the new employees who joined the store today."
"Huh? Another new employee?"
"This is Diona from Mondstadt, this is Miss Zhu from Inazuma, and this is Nana from Bubulu."
"Greetings, seniors!"
Hello! Welcome!
"Hello."
Seeing that they had gotten to know each other, Xia Zhi said, "Diona will also be staying at our shop from now on. Zhu Zi, take her upstairs to see the room, help her tidy up, and tell her about our shop while you're at it."
"Okay, boss! I know this well!"
Zhu Zi led Diona into the store.
Qi Qi glanced at him and whispered, "Mr. Xia, I'm going to the kitchen to prepare medicine for Zhu Zi."
Xia Zhi nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help."
After a while, Zhu Zi brought Diona down from the second floor.
"Boss, I took Diona out to buy some things."
"Never mind, you haven't been feeling well these past few days, so you should rest at the shop. I'll have Qiqi take Diona later."
"It's okay, I..."
"obedient."
"Oh……"
Zhu Zi sat down obediently, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Diona.
Diona watched Zhu Zi drink the tea, then took a sip herself and found it tasted better than the tea at home.
"Senior Zhu, what kind of tea is this?"
"Qiaoyingzhuang's new tea."
"Is it expensive?"
"Yes, it's very expensive!"
