Chapter 359: A considerate and good boss
Since the kitchen of the dollhouse has exploded, it is urgent to contact the decoration team.
Jiang Qi didn't know any other decoration teams here, so he could only call Boss Shen who was going home to celebrate the New Year. Boss Shen lives near the amusement park. The construction team in Xuecun only has two days off during the New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year. As a supervisor, Boss Shen naturally has to sacrifice his life to accompany his nephew.
Boss Shen, who came from the construction site, was stunned when he saw the war-damaged version of the dollhouse.
A series of completely useless things such as broken bricks, broken stones, and the remains of kitchen utensils in the kitchen have been cleared away by Lili. The kitchen now is a rough room that was half blown up.
The ceiling is good. Jiang Cha protected the ceiling while casting a spell to protect the living room. But it doesn’t work well in places other than the ceiling…
After cleaning it was just a ruin.
The fact that the floor and walls didn't collapse was entirely due to the good construction quality of the dollhouse itself. Even so, the floor and walls were full of potholes. The wall at the center of the explosion had been blown through, and all the pipes and lines in the wall were exposed. It looked like a terrorist duel scene.
"How... did you do this?" Boss Shen looked at the intact ceiling, and then at the floor and walls that were completely opposite to the ceiling. There were 100,000 question marks in his head.
How do you manage to blow it up to pieces while still leaving some room?
"What...what exploded?"
Jiang Qi showed a troubled expression: "We don't know exactly where it exploded. Everyone was upstairs when the explosion happened. Maybe there was something wrong with an electrical appliance and it blew up."
Boss Shen squatted on the ground and touched the ground, then touched the wall that had been blasted through, and stretched out his hand to compare the thickness of the wall.
"Can electrical appliances explode like this?"
"Usually explosions like this are caused by gas explosions, right?"
Jiang Qi laughed and laughed: "How could it be a gas explosion? If it was really a gas explosion, the house would have collapsed a long time ago, and the ceiling was not even hit. It should have been a series of explosions of electrical appliances."
As he spoke, Jiang Qi handed Boss Shen a bottle of grass juice and changed the subject: "Uncle Shen, you know our amusement park. The haunted house is the trump card project of our amusement park."
As expected, Boss Shen's attention was diverted: "Yes, if your kitchen is blown up like this, it won't affect the overall structure of the haunted house, right?"
"No impact, no impact." Jiang Qi waved his hands repeatedly, "There are no mechanisms in the kitchen. I just have to ask you to help me find a few efficient, skilled and reliable chefs to renovate the kitchen quickly. Every time the haunted house is closed, you can visit Paradise will be lost for just one more day.”
"Don't underestimate the decoration cost!"
Boss Shen squatted on the ground and studied for a while, then stood up with a frown.
"Okay, I'll contact a few skilled craftsmen for you. It's more efficient if there are more people. But the wall probably needs to be demolished and rebuilt. There are also big problems with the ground, and I don't know how the wiring will be done...it can be done in 10 days. It would be nice to be done.”
"The Chinese New Year will be here in two days, and emergency money at this time is definitely indispensable. Let me do the math..." Boss Shen counted with his fingers, "Add 150,000 for materials. I'll give it to you first. On."
"No, no, I'll transfer it to you now." Jiang Qi took out his mobile phone and was about to transfer the money.
Lillian and Jiang Cha were squatting behind a bush not far away where they could see the kitchen of the doll house through the side door. The former had a sad look on his face, while the latter was taking out a small book.
"10 days, why is this three days more than what the boss said this morning? It was originally calculated based on 20,000 a day, and there were two days of holidays and five days of normal business in the seven days of decoration. Now there are three more days, no more six days. Ten thousand?" Lilian counted her fingers with difficulty to calculate how many more years of salary she would have to deduct.
Jiang Cha has already done the math for her.
"The lost work cost is 60,000 yuan more, and the renovation cost is 40,000 yuan more. Now the total is 330,000 yuan, and 70 months of wages need to be deducted, which is 5 years and 10 months."
Jiang Cha looked at Lilian: "Fellow Daoist Lilian, are you sure you don't want me to shoulder 50% of it for you?"
"No need." Lilian said firmly, "It's just less than six years' salary, I can do it!"
Jiang Qi and Boss Shen were studying the redecoration in the doll house. Jiang Cha and Lilian, the two who were not afraid of the cold, squatted in the grass and watched. Lili was emoting alone on the second floor of the doll house. The others who were not afraid of the cold and those who were not afraid of the cold The creatures gather together in Wang Xinghua's abandoned theater.
During the renovation of the dollhouse, in order not to get involved and cause unnecessary trouble, everyone had to live in an abandoned theater first.
In terms of accommodation conditions, there is obviously no way to compare the abandoned theater with the well-decorated horror doll house designed by Lili. The row of huts in the backyard of the abandoned theater were all staff dormitories. They first housed members of the theater troupe, and then moved to house members of the troupe after it became a theater. The decoration style is relatively simple and simple. There are no household appliances and color TVs, and even the kitchen is an earthen stove.
If Wang Xinghua hadn't been able to control the abandoned theater and was the de facto theater manager, there wouldn't even be any way to control the temperature and humidity in the room.
There is no air conditioning, and if there is no way to control the temperature and humidity, if you live here today, Old John's old bones will probably freeze and develop rheumatoid arthritis.
"The conditions of the theater are like this. When it was originally a theater, the accommodation conditions were even worse. Except for me and my father, I have a room in the red corner, and everyone else lives in Datongbu."
"Later, the theater was converted into a theater, and the Datongpu was divided into small rooms. If the rooms were not enough, some cabins were expanded. Let's make do with it."
Wang Xinghua waved, and countless melon seeds and peanuts flew towards everyone and landed on the table, forming a hill. The teapot consciously poured water into every empty cup, and 30 cushions flew to the chairs to raise them up so that Kua Kua and everyone could sit on equal footing.
"Are the current temperature and humidity still suitable? Do you want to add some natural wind?" After leaving the dollhouse and coming to her own territory, Wang Xinghua also imitated Lili and became a caring little housekeeper.
"Very good sister Xinghua." Wang Erya said with a smile, took a sip of hot tea and continued to do math problems.
"It's pretty good here." Huang Fugui said with a smile, "I haven't used an earthen stove since I came to the boss's place. Now I can use an earthen stove to cook noodles, and I can get back a little bit of the previous feeling."
"Yes." Feng Ling grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said while cracking them. Judging from her movements, her expression was like that of an aunt chatting with others in the village. It was completely inconsistent with her youthful and beautiful face now. "In my memory, I haven’t used an earth stove for many years. When I got older, although I have been living in the countryside, my home was renovated and the kitchen was equipped with a gas stove.”
Feng Ling came here from the vocational high school specifically in the morning after learning that Lillian had blown up the kitchen, mainly to watch the excitement. Feng Ling had never seen what the scene after the gas explosion looked like in his 81 years of life.
"By the way, did the boss say how the seats in the theater will be arranged after the troupe in the amusement park is formed?" Feng Ling asked.
"I didn't say that." Wang Xinghua floated up and looked at the empty theater. All the tables and chairs temporarily placed for the annual meeting last night had been taken away.
The current appearance of the abandoned theater is what it looked like when the Wang Xinghua World crew was filming the movie. In order to facilitate shooting, the auditorium and other seats had been evacuated long ago, but some tables and chairs for props were piled in the backyard and small warehouse.
"My theater is actually quite big. There is no need for chairs to be crowded together like in current theaters. Instead, there are small round tables in good places in the front, so that the audience can have tea and watch the show at the same time. The chairs in the back are squeezed together, so they don't have to be full. If you save some standing tickets, you can sell a hundred tickets on the first floor."
"Not to mention the private rooms on the second floor, the private rooms have not been touched." Wang Xinghua pointed to the two private rooms in the middle, which were the two private rooms where they and Jiang Qi were respectively last night. "These two private rooms are The ones with the best views and locations used to be reserved for dignitaries, but when it comes to popular dramas and idiots who insist on private rooms, a private room can sell dozens of dollars."
Feng Ling sat upright immediately: "Wow, your young master over there is really rich."
"Maybe it's because prices are different." Wang Xinghua has now learned that prices in different worlds cannot be compared.
A few people just sat in the lobby of the abandoned theater, playing with their mobile phones around two pitiful little tables. There was no TV in the theater, so Old John couldn't watch any TV series on the big screen if he wanted to. He could only squint and watch a time-travel drama with Huang Fugui for a while. After watching it for almost half an hour, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he started tutoring Wang. Erya writes math problems.
Two hours later, Jiang Cha and Lillian, who were squatting in the grass and eavesdropping on the dollhouse decoration plan, came back.
Seeing the two people coming back from eavesdropping, Wang Xinghua asked curiously: "Boss, what do others say? Can it be repaired in 7 days?"
Jiang Cha glanced at the hot tea on the table and was not very interested. He grabbed a handful of peanuts and sat down, saying, "Xuan."
"Boss Shen's people will be here soon, but the renovation will take longer than expected. If nothing else happens, we may have to stay here for 10 days."
As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed.
There is no harm without comparison. People who are used to living in doll houses really don't want to live in an abandoned theater.
"I'm really sorry." Lillian felt so guilty that she almost buried her head under the table.
"It's okay, sister Lilian, I can't blame you for this. Who in the magical world knows what natural gas is? Those who don't know are not guilty." Huang Fugui smiled and reassured Lilian, "You may have to buy something to comfort yourself. Lili."
"I will. Miss Jiang Cha just explained it to me clearly." Lilian nodded, "I will compensate Miss Lili with a new skin."
"Five months' salary." Jiang Cha reminded friendly.
"I know, I'll work hard to make extra money!"
When Wang Xinghua heard that Lilian wanted to make extra money, her eyes widened and her eyebrows almost stood up. She looked at Lilian seriously, as if she was sizing up the advantages of this magic teacher from the magic world over her.
"Are you good at mathematics, physics and chemistry?" Wang Xinghua asked in her soul.
"What is mathematics and physics?"
Wang Xinghua raised her eyebrows slightly: "Can you fly?"
"I brought a flying carpet, but now the magic power is limited and the magic stone is also limited. It's better not to fly unless necessary."
Wang Xinghua's expression softened a little: "Can you become invisible?"
"I know the invisibility spell, but this is a high-level magic that consumes mana. It's best not to become invisible unless necessary. But I have a bottle of invisibility potion in my bag, which can last for two hours."
Wang Xinghua's sitting posture was not as stiff as before: "Do you have any other talents?"
"Talent?" Lilian thought for a while, "If I can't use magic, I don't seem to know anything else."
"I entered the Academy of Magic at the age of 10 and graduated at the age of 16. I have been at the Academy of Magic since then. I was a teaching assistant first, then became a full-time teacher. After several years of study and experimentation, I obtained the teaching qualification, taught classes, and looked for students. Doing experiments, accepting commissioned tasks...other than that, I don’t seem to have done any other work.”
"Normally, I rarely even leave the Academy of Incredible Magic unless I accept a commission or go home."
Lilian is a standard teacher who was born and raised in the Incredible Magic Academy and trained by herself. In a certain sense, she has never left the ivory tower in her life.
She was born into a noble family and had good educational conditions. She was talented in time magic and was highly valued by her teachers. Even if she blew up the palace in Antarctica, Principal Peggy would protect her. It can be said that Lillian has never tasted the suffering of human beings in the magical world.
Wang Xinghua felt completely relieved when she heard what Lilian said. She believed that with her own strength, she could definitely beat Lilian in terms of part-time job for free, and she didn't have to worry about Lilian competing with her for work.
Maybe Lilian can't even win over Lili.
"So Fellow Daoist Lilian, have you ever thought about what kind of job you can do in an amusement park?" Jiang Cha asked.
Lilian smiled sheepishly: "To be honest, although I have been preparing to travel through time and space all my life, I have never imagined that I can actually travel through time and space."
"I originally thought that if I traveled through time and space to a world without magic, then I would build a new incredible magic academy in that world, and I would be the principal and teach everyone magic."
"According to the plan at that time, I will definitely bring enough magic stones and materials when I travel, so that even if the world I go to has no magic power, I can still generate cyclic magic power through the magic circle."
"The result..." Lilian smiled awkwardly.
The result was already obvious. She came, but she only brought 250,000 low-level magic stones.
"Can your magic world generate cyclic magic power through magic arrays?" Jiang Qi's surprised voice came from the gate.
"Of course." Lilian nodded, "Magic itself is a cycle. It exists in the air, in the soil, in our bodies, everywhere."
"Just because we use magic doesn't mean it disappears. It just goes through an evolution and returns to nature. So the magic world is full of magic. It just depends on whether you can use it."
Jiang Qi nodded as if he understood something: "So the magic power in your magical world abides by the principle of conservation of energy, right?"
Lilian looked confused: "What is the law of conservation of energy?"
"It's not important. If you are really interested, you can ask Teacher John later. So what is the magic circle you just mentioned?"
"The magic circle is a magic circle that gathers magic power." Lilian gestured with her hands in the air, trying to give Jiang Qi the general shape of the magic circle. "There is a large magic circle on the top floor of the Incredible Magic Academy, but it is a forbidden area. , ordinary teachers and students are not allowed to get close."
"The magic circle can gather magic power, so students in school can learn faster and better. To create such a large magic circle requires tens of thousands of top-quality magic stones, which is very expensive, but it also has an advantage."
"A magic circle of the same level as in the school can keep the concentration of magic power in a certain space constant, allowing the magic power to form a cycle. It will not dissipate everywhere after use, but will gather in a limited space."
"When magic power has been gathered for a long time, magic stones will be generated in the underground veins. The higher the concentration, the better the quality of the magic stones generated. This is why low-level magic stones can be seen everywhere."
Jiang Cha nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "It sounds a bit like the Spirit Gathering Array."
"But...that's not right." Wang Erya, who was originally writing a math problem, didn't know when he stopped writing, "Teacher Lilian, you said you wanted to bring materials that can build a magic circle for time travel, but building a large magic circle requires Tens of thousands of top-quality magic stones.”
"I heard what the boss said... you seem to have been owing money. Can you save tens of thousands of top-quality magic stones?"
Lilian scratched her head: "That's right."
"In my imagination, if I can really travel through time and space alive. At that time, I will already be the greatest time magician in the history of the entire continent. At that time, I must also be the richest magician on the entire continent, with tens of thousands of dollars. There must be a top-quality magic stone!"
Everyone:...
So your idea is based on dreams, right?
"So..." Jiang Qi opened his mouth. After opening his mouth for a long time, he actually forgot what he wanted to say to Lilian when he came over. It took him a few minutes to think about it.
"Yes, I came here to ask if you have any favorite job positions?"
"If not, then I will assign it to you."
Lilian's eyes shone: "I want to teach everyone magic!"
"Okay, then I'll assign it to you."
"The initial idea is this. You now have 249,998 low-level magic stones in your hand. Do you still remember the simplest magic that does not require chanting spells taught by Teacher Isa when you took me for a trial class before? This There should be a lot of magic, right?"
Lilian nodded, but didn't understand why Jiang Qi asked this.
"There are many, but they are basically useless. They can only be used to light candles, make small things float randomly, and more complicatedly make dishes appear on the dinner plate. Only the last one is useful, but later the tableware company launched a product that can The magic plate that delivered the dishes from the kitchen window ended up being useless.”
"It doesn't need to be useful." Jiang Qi smiled, "I just need to let everyone experience it briefly."
"I am a very democratic boss. Basically, I will do my best to satisfy employees wherever they want to work."
"If you want to teach magic, you can, but wait until the magic classroom is built. We have to have a venue first before we can open related amusement projects. There is no magic in this world, and you should be able to feel it, but don't you happen to have 249,998 over there? A magic stone? Do you mind using them to teach everyone magic?"
"I don't mind, I don't mind."
Lilian shook her head repeatedly and smiled brightly.
Jiang Qi also smiled brightly.
"Then it's settled for now, but before the magic classroom is built, I have to arrange some other work for you, otherwise you won't be able to owe this salary for another year."
"You shouldn't be able to go to the acting position in Taiping Town. Taiping Town is an ancient style town. You really don't look ancient enough. It would be a pity to go to Taiping Town."
"I have created a position that is suitable for you!"
"Selling desserts and drinks in the food truck of Goblin Kua Kua's Food Shop!"
"You don't need to change your persona and role, just act as you are. You are a time and space magician who traveled through time and space from the magic continent. You owed a huge sum of money because you blew up the amusement park owner's haunted house, so you stayed in the amusement park to sell it. Goblin food works to pay off debts. It’s best to interact with tourists when selling it, so that if we set the price a little higher, people won’t mind.”
Lilian looked confused and nodded.
"Don't worry, boss, I will do a good job!"
"As for the salary, I will pay you 4,700 a month. Ordinary sales positions cannot get such a high basic salary. Your job has a certain interpretation nature, so I will pay you the salary of an interpretation staff. "
"thank you boss."
People sitting on the edge.
Jiang Cha, Wang Xinghua, Huang Fugui and Old John exchanged crazy glances, looking at Lillian with some sympathy in their eyes.
Jiang Cha: Is Lilian being PUAd?
Wang Xinghua: It seems that the boss’s skills are getting better and better.
Huang Fugui: You can’t say that. I think the boss is okay.
Old John: Haha.
The expressions of Wang Erya and Kua Kua were completely different from the four people who were exchanging glances. The two looked at each other.
Wang Erya: The boss is so kind. I will work for the boss like Miss Lilian in the future!
Kua Kua: Yes, Mr. Jiang Qi is really a great boss!
The two of them felt they had found a soulmate and gave each other a high-five with their eyes.
The other four people:…
