Chapter 423 The Price of a Good Boss
The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson.
Although Jiang Cha and Wang Xinghua didn't intend to do anything too illegal, it was indeed dark tonight.
The clouds blocked the bright moonlight, and the infrastructure near the vocational high school was always poor. Most of the street lamps beside the poor Tongzi Building were in disrepair. If people who live nearby don't turn on the lights when they get up at night, it would be a good adjective to describe them as being blind.
The person on the bed was snoring loudly.
Wang Xinghua floated above the small wooden chair, flipping through her bag with some disgust.
"Why don't you bring anything with you when you go on a long trip? Just a change of clothes, and all the soap, disposable toothbrushes and combs from the B\u0026B are stuffed into your bag. Oh my, there are also disposable slippers and towels from the bathroom."
Wang Xinghua poked at the white towel, which was of poor quality.
"I live in the cheapest single room of 79 yuan. Is this old woman short of money?" Wang Xinghua said with a look of "no, no, no, I must have made a loss-making deal, right?"
Jiang Cha didn't care whether Grandma Ji Xue had money or not. She carefully cast a spell along the single room to ensure that the sound could be completely isolated. With a wave of her hand, all the ornaments in the house disappeared instantly, including the doors, windows and bed.
Grandma Ji Xue seemed to be sleeping in the air. She slapped her mouth and turned over in dissatisfaction.
"Damn girl, let's see if I don't beat you to death."
Jiang Cha hesitated: "Didn't the boss say that you can't use the punishment of the 18th level of hell to scare people to death? Are you sure you want to make this place look like a frying pan hell?"
"We're not really going to put her in a frying pan and fry her. Just blow it up to try it out." Wang Xinghua asked Jiang Cha to relax, "The most famous of the 18 levels of hell is the ninth layer of frying pan hell. You If we create a hell with copper pillars for her, she won’t even know where she is.”
Jiang Cha felt that what Wang Xinghua said was reasonable. He recalled the description of the frying pan hell that he had seen in the original human world book, then thought about the TV series he had watched, and used illusions to build the legendary frying pan hell bit by bit.
There are many ghosts among the card characters that Jiang Qi drew out, but the only one who has ever queued up to be reincarnated in the underworld is Wang Erya. Wang Erya has only queued up to be reincarnated and has never been to the 18th level of hell, so Jiang Tea construction can only be based on imagination.
First come to ten large pots with boiling hot oil in them.
Add some wailing and struggling unknown creatures to nine of the pots, and add some stirring staff to the sides of the pots to make the frying even.
Then come a group of green-faced, fanged brats, the kind with hateful faces.
The temperature should be high and the environment should be dark.
As the environment was built step by step, Wang Xinghua's eyes became brighter and brighter.
…
"ah!!!"
Xu Pandi woke up from her dream.
As an old lady who sleeps less and dreams more, Xu Pandi's sleep quality has never been very good.
She had never had such a terrible dream.
She actually dreamed that she went to the oil pan hell and was bombed all night long, and the pain was so painful that she felt worse than death.
Xu Pandi sat on the bed, panting wildly. She looked around cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that this was the B\u0026B she had rented for 79 yuan.
Thinking of the money spent on renting a B\u0026B, Xu Pandi became even more angry. If it weren't for the cheap girl from the second child's family who was unwilling to honor her grandma with the money she earned from her part-time job, would she have come all the way on a hard seat on the train to ask for money at her age?
He was also beaten by a crazy woman.
Xu Pandi felt dizzy when she thought of this.
"They are really two bastards who harm their father and mother. If I had known better, I shouldn't have discussed it with the second brother and sold these two bastard girls for 20,000 yuan!" Xu Pandi said angrily, but she couldn't help but hit her. Got a shiver.
The dream last night was really strange. She actually dreamed that her little daughter, whom she had sold 40 years ago, died and became a ghost. She was sent to hell in revenge for herself.
Why did the nameless daughter want to throw herself into the frying pan?
Xu Pandi didn't remember it, but the feeling of the oil pan was so real that even when she woke up, she could still think of the feeling of being fried in boiling hot oil last night, which made people desperate for life and desperate for death.
"Everyone of them is an ungrateful loser, a white-eyed wolf. Even if he becomes a ghost servant, he doesn't know how to honor me. Without me, how can you die and become a ghost servant?" Xu Pandi cursed and got out of bed, picked up the I unscrewed the mineral water on the bedside table and took a long gulp.
"Bah, what are you talking about broken water? A shady businessman, selling a broken room for such an expensive price, but the water he gave you is actually smelly!" Xu Pandi was angry.
It’s okay to have nightmares at night, but you still suffer when you wake up.
Xu Pandi was so angry that she took the water and wanted to argue with the staff at the B\u0026B.
Go to the door and twist the door, but it won't open.
A gust of cold wind blew past Xu Pandi's ears, and Xu Pandi couldn't help but shudder.
"Who?" Xu Pandi raised her voice.
A familiar yet unfamiliar female voice without warmth sounded in her ears.
"Mom, if you let me see you treat a girl like this again, especially your own granddaughter, don't blame me for dragging you into trouble every night."
"I'll wait for you in hell."
The doorknob began to bleed, and Xu Pandi's hands were covered with blood. A big word "death" appeared on the door. Along with the word, there was a pale and bloodless face of a long-haired woman with swollen eyelids and black eyes. .
The woman looked straight at Xu Pandi who was lying on the ground, opened her mouth, and said silently:
"Mom, I'm waiting for you."
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Xu Pandi's heartbreaking scream came from the Tongzi Tower.
Near the vocational high school, Jiang Cha and Wang Xinghua, who rarely go out, were sitting in a breakfast restaurant newly opened in recent months, eating Xiao Long Bao and Jian Bao, which are said to be very popular among tourists and postgraduate entrance examination candidates.
"Boss, get 2 more steamed buns, 10 fried buns, a bowl of porridge, and two tea eggs." Wang Xinghua said to the boss.
Since there were only two of us, Wang Xinghua didn't dare to eat too much. She only dared to eat 4 cages of Xiao Long Bao and 20 pan-fried buns.
This was even when Jiang Cha didn't eat to accompany the performance.
The boss quickly served the hot steamed dumplings: "Two beauties, it will take a while to fry the dumplings."
Wang Xinghua nodded, poured vinegar into the plate, and continued to eat happily.
A smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Cha's mouth, and he tilted his head to look northwest: "Eat less, you won't have enough money later."
Wang Xinghua said angrily: "I have been busy all night, but the money I earned is not even enough for breakfast, and I have to pay for it myself."
Wang Xinghua turned her grief and anger into appetite and ate a basket of steamed dumplings. Seeing that Jiang Cha seemed to be admiring some satisfactory work, she asked, "Is the old woman awake?"
Xu Pandi and Wang Xinghua don't have a good tone right now.
"I'm awake and screaming in the house. It's time to change my pants later."
"Did she bring pants? We just gave her 4 yuan and 4 cents left in the bank card. When do you think she will discover such a wonderful balance?"
"It should be soon. You will definitely need to withdraw money to buy the train ticket." Jiang Cha was not sure, and his voice rose with joy, "Oh, I really need to change my pants."
Wang Xinghua had already finished the second round of steamed dumplings, and began to stare longingly at the pan-fried dumplings that had not yet been cooked.
Wang Xinghua felt sad when she thought that she could only eat 10 more fried buns.
"What a loss-making deal. I acted all night and you spent so much mana, but in the end there was only 37,000 in the bank card!"
"Isn't that old woman desperate for money? She sold her daughter for 200 yuan, and twelve years ago she wanted to package and sell her two granddaughters for 20,000 yuan. How much did Zhang Yicheng, whom Jiang Qi caught, sell his child to? Ten million, how come this old woman only has 37,000 left after selling it for forty years?" Wang Xinghua said loudly, but she was not afraid of others hearing, she could handle things like isolating the sound without Jiang Cha's intervention.
"Do you think she is a fugitive or something? If we go to the Public Security Bureau to report her now, can we get a reward?"
Jiang Cha shook his head: "No, I checked."
Wang Xinghua sighed in disappointment, thinking of Xu Pandi's performance last night, she showed the same disgusted expression as Jiangcha: "This kind of person..."
"I hope she really goes to hell in the future."
"It's really a benefit to her not to let her remember all the experiences last night. She should fry every night to let her adapt in advance. After going down, she will go to the iceberg first and then to the oil pan. It will be super doubled."
Seeing Wang Xinghua's angry look, Jiang Cha smiled and said, "It's still too early to go to hell. You can wish her a bad death in advance like me."
"The kind with heartfelt blessings."
After that, Jiang Cha raised his voice and said to the breakfast shop owner: "Boss, pack me 60 tea eggs, 60 steamed dumplings, 500 fried dumplings, and 20 bowls of beef noodles. Bring me the fried round ones too." 50."
Hearing that Jiang Cha wanted so much, the owner of the breakfast shop was surprised: "Beauty, you two want so much, can you carry it away? Is it nearby? Do you want me to deliver it to you?"
"No, we work in an amusement park. A colleague will come to pick it up later. Just pack it for me. There's no rush."
"Okay!"
"Why did you order so much? Didn't you agree that I'll give you 1 of the rest of the money? It's already 37,000. I don't know how much it will cost for Xiao Cao's medicine. I heard that scar removal surgery is very expensive. Jiang Qi It’s not like you don’t know that this black-hearted boss pays the lowest level of medical insurance for ordinary employees, so you can’t reimburse much at all.”
"I'm asking you to save you a trip in vain." Jiang Cha said with a smile.
Wang Xinghua chuckled: "How embarrassing."
"Boss, please add 200 more fried buns, we have a lot of people in the amusement park!"
"Okay."
After returning, the two went to Jiang Qi to report on their work.
"What?! You used illusions to make Grandma Ji Xue explode in a pan all night?! Didn't I tell you not to use the punishment of 18 levels of hell? No one was killed, right?" Jiang Qi heard that Jiang Cha and Wang Xinghua After working all night, I almost jumped out of my chair.
"If this happens, my sister and I will have nothing to do with each other. We were beaten in the amusement park the day before, and we stayed in my sister's B\u0026B that night. Isn't this going to put us both in the same boat?" Jiang Qi began to doubt him. Did he offend Jiang Cha and Wang Xinghua in some way? These two non-human beings planned to take revenge on themselves.
Wang Xinghua still held the fried buns in her hand, taking one bite at a time and saying, "Boss, I'm telling you this is a complete accident."
"Generally, people who have evil intentions will do it just by talking about the oil pan. This old woman is not normal. You don't know how strong her mind is. I just found out that she sold her daughter and pretended to be her daughter. Before I got out of the frying pan, she scolded me with all her face. She opened her mouth like a bitch, but kept her mouth shut and rolled her eyes. She scolded me for being a ghost for not sending her money from the ground and not helping my brothers. Those who didn’t know thought it was me. Put it in the oil pan, throw it in and fry it for two rounds before you figure out the priority."
"I didn't ask Jiang Cha to put some cumin, pepper, star anise, and red oil into the oil pan, because she was too old to be polite."
Jiang Qi:? ? ?
Jiang Qi thought about it calmly: "It seems that just one night of bombing is not too much."
"That's right." Wang Xinghua stuffed another bun into her mouth, "It's really an advantage for her. She didn't remember much after a night of frying."
Jiang Cha used magic to erase most of Xu Pandi's memory, mainly to avoid killing people. Jiang Qi's concerns are not a problem. Although Jiang Cha uses illusions, they can kill people using the illusions of immortals.
Jiang Cha said a long time ago that advanced illusions are weapons for killing people.
The illusion makes you feel surrounded by flames. Even if there is no flame, your body perception deceives you, and you will feel like you are being burned to death without being burned by the fire.
The brain tells the body that you are going to die, and you die.
The illusion conjured up a table of food for you. You thought you were full, but in fact you didn't eat anything. If you live like this for a while, even if you think you have enough food and clothing, you will still starve to death.
Compared to directly slashing with a knife, killing with illusions is more cruel to a certain extent.
As for why Jiang Cha knew that one night of bombing would really kill people, but in the end he still indulged in one night and wiped out most of his memory...
It can only be said that she and Wang Xinghua are both sweethearts.
Wang Xinghua finished her work report and left happily with her unfinished breakfast, leaving Jiang Cha in the office to make a summary.
"Although most of her memories have been erased, I planted the seeds of fear in her heart. Coupled with the residual pain, she should never dare to set foot in an amusement park or provoke Ji Xue's family in her life."
"Very good." Jiang Qi nodded, "What's going on with 37,000?"
Jiang Cha thought for a while and told Wang Xinghua about his loss-making business.
Jiang Qi almost didn't laugh out loud. He said why Wang Xinghua was so positive yesterday. It turned out that she went there with the mentality of making extra money.
"Let's donate the 37,000 yuan. I'll reimburse the money for breakfast this morning. Xiao Cao and Ji Xue's medical expenses will be paid by the amusement park. Manager Shen gave me a report last night. She wanted to apply for a sum for Xiao Cao. I have approved the bonus for bravery."
"Not much, 5,000 yuan. In addition to paying the full medical expenses, and giving her extra money for a double eyelid surgery, Xiao Cao is said to be quite happy."
"that is……"
Jiang Qi sighed, took out a resignation application from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Cha to read.
Jiang Cha took the resignation application and frowned: "Ji Xue wants to resign? What does it have to do with me hitting her, and the matter has been resolved."
"How does she know that the matter has been resolved? I can't tell her that Manager Jiang and Manager Wang played ghosts all night long and threw your grandma into a frying pan and fried her all night long, so she was scared to death."
Because of personal experience, Jiang Cha has a very high impression of people who come from miserable backgrounds but are self-reliant. Otherwise, she wouldn't have rolled out the rolling pin yesterday and let the conflict shift at the speed of light.
"What can she do after she quits her job? Will she continue to do odd jobs? Her father's diabetes has deteriorated into uremia, and he will be dead unless he gets a kidney transplant."
Jiang Qi recalled what he saw in the prophecy crystal ball and the fact that Ji Xue did not have any clothes with the amusement park's logo on, and felt that fate was indeed a wonderful thing.
When he first saw the content in the prophecy crystal ball, he was still thinking about why he wouldn't let Ji Xue advertise during the game. What a great advertising opportunity.
It seems that such a good advertising opportunity does not belong to me.
"Perhaps...approving her resignation letter is another chance in her life."
"I asked Master Bai that Ji Xue has a good talent for cooking. If he can find a promising restaurant, he will have better development. After all, as a chef in our amusement park, unless he is a head chef like Master Bai, his salary will be very high. A month higher would cost eight or nine thousand."
"If you're worried, we should be able to go to City A next year to watch some good chef competitions. If that doesn't work, we can recruit people back."
.
In Jasmine Restaurant, the employees did not have too many heated discussions because of yesterday's accident. At most, the employees in the kitchen looked at Ji Xue with more sympathy in their eyes, and subconsciously felt a little distant.
Sympathy is sympathy, but Ji Xue's grandma is really scary. Who knows when she will come to cause trouble again. Xiao Cao received a bonus of 5,000 yuan, but everyone was still unwilling to be beaten up and possibly lose his appearance for 5,000 yuan.
Ji Xue was silently chopping vegetables in the kitchen.
Shen Lirong came to Jasmine Restaurant.
"Director Shen." The foreman greeted Shen Lirong.
Shen Lirong nodded and said, "Please call Ji Xue out."
The foreman went to the kitchen to call for someone, and Ji Xue silently put down the kitchen knife and came out.
Shen Lirong looked at the little girl in front of her who was still wearing a cheap shirt worth more than ten yuan even though she had been working for more than half a year. She couldn't help but sigh.
"Your resignation letter has been approved by your boss."
Ji Xue nodded silently.
"But you can't resign now. Jasmine Restaurant can't recruit a chef in a short time. The boss recommends that you stay until the end of the month and wait until we recruit a suitable chef before leaving."
Ji Xue hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Okay."
"But, this won't cause trouble to the amusement park..."
Shen Lirong interrupted her: "Do you know Director Han?"
Ji Xue continued to nod. She was directly recruited into the amusement park by Jiang Qi because Chenfeng wanted to rent the park and recruit temporary workers. Of course she knew about the amusement park's father, the super financier.
"Director Han will hold the second season of the Tasty Kitchen King Competition in City A next year. As his friend, the boss will definitely go to watch and support. This cooking competition is said to be very popular and will be held soon. Registration is open, and the boss hopes to see you at the competition."
Ji Xue looked up in surprise.
Shen Lirong smiled kindly: "This is a good opportunity. If everything goes well, the competition will be turned into a variety show and may be broadcast live. If you can achieve good results, you may be able to find a good job."
"Don't worry about not being able to register. It is said that there are no requirements for contestants. Even if there is a request, the boss can help you through the back door."
Ji Xue suddenly felt her eyes were a little wet.
After a long time, Ji Xue said: "Thank you, Director Shen."
"Please help me...Thank you, boss."
.
During lunch time, Jiang Qi suddenly received a call from Shen Lirong, saying that Ji Xue had cooked a delicious dish and wanted to deliver it to him.
Jiang Qi didn't think much about it. Just before lunch, F1101 handed him a very sloppy and undesigned haunted house design, so he asked Shen Lirong to send someone to deliver the food to his office.
Then the food delivery person gave Jiang Qi a jar.
Jiang Qi:?
What's this? Laotan pickled cabbage?
In order to thank herself for introducing her to a platform to find a job, Ji Xue specially gave herself a jar of high-quality sauerkraut?
But why does this pickled cabbage jar seem to be hot...
"Boss, Ji Xue said that this dish must be opened before eating, so I brought the jar to you." The waiter at Jasmine Restaurant explained.
Jiang Qi nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll have someone send it over when I finish eating. Don't worry about it."
The waiter left decisively.
Jiang Qi uncovered it out of curiosity.
"Fuck!"
What is this? It smells so good!
Super delicious aroma, the aroma that hits your face, the aroma that cannot be described in words, the aroma that makes people's fingers move.
Jiang Qi took a closer look and saw that there seemed to be a whole chicken in the jar.
The next second, Jiang Cha appeared in a flash.
"Half."
Purpose is clear and clean.
Although he didn't want to give it up, considering Jiang Cha's contribution in this matter, Jiang Qi tearfully gave her half of the chicken.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Qi physically gnawed on the chicken bones with tears in his eyes.
Looking at the empty jar and the chicken bones on the table that were so clean that even a dog would shake his head, Jiang Qi felt extremely heartbroken.
Why? Why did you sign that resignation application? !
Why? Why did the SR he discovered only reveal his true nature when he resigned? !
With this dish, how could it be possible that Ji Xue could only do odd jobs these years?
Are those restaurant owners out there blind?
Is it a loss of smell or taste?
What happened to this world?
"Boss." Jiang Cha looked at Jiang Qi, "I think it will be difficult for you to recruit people back."
"Yes." Jiang Qi endured his heartache, "It's probably impossible to get him back."
Being a good boss is so difficult.
