Chapter 255 Temporary Worker
"Yes, our store is short of people. We need a boy to deliver water. A child just ran away with diarrhea. We need someone to take his place. If you are willing to do it, you can come in with me."
"Is there only one position for the water delivery boy? My father and my uncle came here with me, and they also want to find a job in the market."
Of course, pressing for more is her strong point. Seeing that the man's expression eased a little, she quickly took the opportunity to raise the question of whether the master and the senior could be arranged to come in.
"It's really unfortunate. The store hasn't been very busy recently and there haven't been many auctions, so there's no shortage of other staff. But if we don't have a shortage here, there must be a shortage in other places. Tell your father and your uncle not to lose heart and look around. They will definitely find the right one."
The clerk did not suspect this kind of self-recommendation. After all, he saw too many mortals like this every day. He himself was also a mortal. He just worked in the Treasure Pavilion for many years and became familiar with the people there. That's how he got a stable job and became a clerk.
We are all mortals at the bottom of society. Many of them have a hard life. There is no need to speak badly to them because we can understand.
"Okay, we got it, thanks bro."
When I heard that this place was no longer accepting people, I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed.
But when she looked back at her master, she found that her master blinked at her. There was no telepathic communication, but it carried a deeper meaning.
It seemed that he had an idea in mind, which was good. She was afraid that if she went in, her master and this senior would be left outside. What if she was exposed in there and her identity was revealed, then she would be caught or something, and there would be no one to save her.
Although the master is usually very reliable, Zhou Ling feels that the little trust he has in his master is almost gone because of the kidnapping incident last time!
I followed the clerk in obediently and found that the Treasure Pavilion building was very large and magnificent from the outside. However, I didn't expect that after I got in, I found out that there were even more secrets inside.
"Brother, this place looks so big, much bigger than it looks from outside!"
In order to act like a normal kid, Zhou Ling acted like an inexperienced child, with his mouth open and his eyes darting around in amazement.
"Is this your first time here?"
The guy didn't get angry, but responded to Zhou Ling's words patiently.
"Yes, this is my first time here. I used to work in small places with my father."
Zhou Ling nodded honestly.
Unexpectedly, I saw a hint of heartache in the eyes of this young man.
"You don't look that old, maybe less than ten years old. You're so young, and you follow your family out to make money. Are your parents willing to let you do that?"
"My mother, she..."
If you put on a complete show and have a tragic life story, it's easy to arouse people's sympathy. With this layer of protection, the rest of the process of asking questions will be smoother.
In a word, there is a lot of blank space, leaving people enough room for imagination.
The waiter looked at Zhou Ling's tearful face and understood that he might have said something wrong and reminded the girl of her sad memories.
"Oh, let's not talk about this. Since this is your first time here, I'll take you around so you can get familiar with the route. This way, you won't make mistakes when you work later."
The guy was a nice guy and offered to take Zhou Ling to familiarize herself with the route.
"Thank you bro!"
Zhou Ling wiped the corners of his eyes twice in a formal manner, then suddenly smiled widely and thanked the young man.
"You're welcome." After some greetings, the two of them began to tour the interior of the treasure pavilion, one in front and one behind.
Along the way, the waiter had been explaining the routes that Zhou Ling should know as a water-carrying boy, as well as some taboos within the Treasure Pavilion.
Among them, what interested Zhou Ling the most was a formation called space folding.
This formation is very common. Most of the storage bags people wear or other storage tools use this formation.
But that kind of formation can only accommodate dead objects, not living people or living animals.
The reason why the Treasure Pavilion appears much larger on the inside than it does on the outside is because there is a kind of formation flowing between every wooden brick and corridor under Zhou Ling's feet.
That’s right, it’s the formation called space folding.
Anyone who can use that kind of formation in this kind of merchant building must be a formation genius.
However, how did the other party do it? They didn’t turn the building into a storage facility, but instead turned it into an ordinary commercial building that could accommodate living people.
The master values talent the most. If he were to enter this building, he might also sigh and want to meet the person behind this method.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a familiar face among the passers-by out of the corner of my eye.
If she hadn't experienced one outrageous incident after another in recent years, which had developed a hard-hearted attitude and the ability to remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, she would have wanted to scream out loud now.
So the master and his friends were able to sneak in as guests, but she could only work as a poor little boy serving water?
When it comes to disguise, the master once boasted about how good he was at it. Zhou Ling wasn't convinced, so she dragged her mother to compete with the master.
During that time, Zhou Ling witnessed the omnipotence of his master. It would have been fine if he was good at everything else, but why was he able to master even such an unpopular trick as disguise?
Could it be that I have lived too long and have too much boring time, so I used it all to learn these things?
In short, during the competition, Zhou Ling saw many faces of his master.
Since it's a competition, naturally, everyone basically brought out their best skills.
Every disguised face was made to look amazing.
Among them is the face that Master is wearing now.
Not so ordinary anymore, a bit handsome and cool, with a slender figure, and decent clothes that support his face, he looks like a rich young man who has nothing but money and power.
And Senior Sheng...
Zhou Ling looked around for her master but couldn't find anyone who looked similar or older, so she had to give up in the end because the guy had already introduced all the work tasks she would have to do next and she just had to adapt to them herself.
After thanking him again, Zhou Ling was led by another water-carrying boy to change into a set of clothes specific to the work of the Treasure Pavilion, and quickly went to work.
It was the first time Zhou Ling delivered tea. She ran fast, steady, and with high accuracy, which won her unanimous praise from the guests.
What a joke. She is not good at other things except her new brain which works better. It's just a route map and she just needs to run faster, but she can still ensure that the tea on the tray is not spilled. To use a word, it's just spilling some water, no big deal.
