House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 196 – The Most Comfortable Part-Time Job In History

At around four o’clock in the afternoon, which was probably the hottest time outside, there were only two customers in the coffee shop. They were both customers who had ordered coffee and were sitting there reading books.

Although Yang Yi had told her that she could do her own things during idle hours, Ding Xiang, who was on her first day at work, was still unwilling to read books. There were no customers coming in, yet she sat upright and earnestly at the counter.

Yang Yi looked at his watch, put away the book in his hand, stood up from the sofa, and stretched lazily. He walked to the bar and said to Ding Xiang, “It’s about time. I’ll go get the sign back, and you can tidy up and go home.”

“So early?” Ding Xiang asked in surprise.

Who runs a coffee shop that opens at almost 11 in the morning and closes at around 4 in the afternoon. This also includes the more than two hours of rest time when it’s closed at noon…

Ding Xiang was also planning to work here tonight, making more cups of coffee and gaining more experience!

Yang Yi smiled lightly and said, “My daughter finishes school at 5:30, so I have to go to the kindergarten early to pick her up.”

This may be considered an explanation.

“When should I come to work tonight?” Ding Xiang asked softly. She was planning to go home, eat, take a shower, change clothes, and then come back.

She didn’t have suitable clothes, but there was a neat set of white shirts and black suit pants in her closet. She was once pulled by her Senior Sister Mao Peifu to do a bank credit card activity, which was to get people to sign up for a credit card. Senior Sister Mao Peifu insisted on buying it for her.

The price wasn’t expensive, the whole set cost around 200 yuan. Ding Xiang later couldn’t bear to wear it and planned to keep it for job interviews when she is a senior in college.

Now that she was going to work in a coffee shop, she had to consider the image of the boss. No, the boss didn’t seem to have any image in his shorts and slippers. Anyway, she had to dress neatly and maintain a good working attitude.

“Tonight? We don’t open at night,” Yang Yi said naturally.

“Ah? We don’t open at night?” Ding Xiang was really confused.

“Not only do we not open at night, but there might be days when we won’t open at all if I’m not available. But I’ll call and let you know when that happens.” Ding Xiang had left her dormitory phone number before. Yang Yi smiled and said, “By the way, I forgot to tell you. Weekends are also rest days, so you can arrange your time freely.”

Ding Xiang didn’t even know how she got back to her dormitory. Her mind was a little dazed and it took her a long time to come to her senses.

Wasn’t this part-time job a bit too strange?

Ding Xiang couldn’t be bothered to eat. She hurriedly left the dormitory and went to the male dormitory area. Amidst the strange glances of the boys, she called out Guo Ziyi.

“…… Work five days a week, less than five hours a day, and it is possible that I won’t be able to continue coming because of my classes. Let’s say two days, which is about 15 hours a week, 60 hours a month. Do I really get paid 4000 yuan for 60 hours of work?” Ding Xiang expressed her doubts anxiously, “Why does Big Brother Yang give me such high treatment? His coffee shop doesn’t actually make that much money, does it?”

Guo Ziyi listened for a while before he understood Ding Xiang’s meaning. He held back his laughter and patted her shoulder, like a buddy, saying, “Don’t worry, Senior sister. I’ve told you before, Big brother Yang is so wealthy and has a lot of money to burn. You don’t even know that his main business is not running a shop and being a boss. He writes novels, and who knows how much money he makes from writing!”

“But I can’t take so much money from him!” Ding Xiang felt uneasy. She didn’t feel like she was helping much.

“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, what Big brother Yang wants from running a shop is a kind of passion. If you work hard and take on more responsibilities, giving him more time to enjoy his leisure, then the salary he gives you will be worth it!” Guo Ziyi’s words were quite accurate.

Ding Xiang fell silent, but Guo Ziyi’s words gave her some inspiration.

Why did she have to consider whether Big brother Yang should give her so much money? Why not think about how she could be worthy of the 4,000 yuan salary that Big brother Yang pays?

The teacher who taught them economics once said, “The value of an employee does not lie in their own abilities but in how much benefit they can create for the company!”

Ding Xiang had to work hard!

……

In the evening, Yang Yi picked up Xixi. She still couldn’t forget about yesterday. She really wanted to go to her mother’s workplace to play like they did yesterday.

“No, your mother is working hard and needs to record songs and rest. We can’t disturb her at this time!” Yang Yi seriously explained to Xixi.

In the morning, Mo Fei also complained to Yang Yi for a long time, saying that he had made her voice hoarse, and that he couldn’t do such a bad thing again in the future.

In order to prevent Mo Fei from worrying about her record not being done well, Yang Yi had to coax his daughter well, that they really couldn’t disturb Mo Fei this time.

“Okay, let’s wait for the weekend to play with Mama and have barbecue together.” Xixi was still very obedient.

Yang Yi smiled bitterly and said, “Barbecue is fine, you can eat it with your friends, but your mother can’t eat barbecue now! She needs to control her diet and take good care of her voice!”

Xixi was a bit disappointed, but her attention was immediately drawn to another topic mentioned by her father. She patted her head with a cute and annoyed look, and said, “Oh, Xixi forgot to tell Papa that many people are coming to Papa’s house to play!”

The little girl sat cross-legged on the carpet, lowered her head and counted on her fingers and said, “There’s Chen Shiyun, Qiqi, Xin’er, Nan Zhaoyu…”

In addition to Xixi’s four best friends, there were also other children who have a good relationship with Xixi and they all wanted to come and play together.

“Oh, I can’t count anymore. How many are there?” Xixi finished counting her fingers on both sides, and became confused.

“A total of 12!” Yang Yi smiled slightly and said to Xixi.

“Papa is so amazing! He remembers all of them.” Xixi looked up at her father admiringly and enviously.

Yang Yi laughed and said, “It’s actually very simple. Just count ten numbers in your mind, from one to ten, and then start over and continue counting…”

Yang Yi explained the decimal system to his daughter, but he didn’t know if the little girl could understand it.

……

In this world, some people immerse themselves in petting cats, some in other activities, and some just spend their days immersed in the little moments with their daughter.

Like this guy, Yang Yi, who hadn’t checked his email for several days and couldn’t remember what he had forgotten.

“Aaah, Du Lun, do you think I’ve been deceived? I gave him 3 million and he hasn’t responded for days!” In the luxury mansion of the Ju family, Ju Jie was angrily asking his agent and dog head military adviser. 1

“A’Jie, your 3 million remittance hasn’t even been withdrawn yet. How can you consider it as being decieved? If it’s not withdrawn after half a month, it will be returned to you as it is!” Du Lun comforted Ju Jie, but sighed in his heart: “Now you know how to regret it, why didn’t you discuss it with me when you rush to withdraw the money.”

The remittance slips in this world could indeed be used for withdrawal without the original copies.

Ju Jie smiled and said, “Yes, I see. Maybe Mu Li’ang forgot to check his email, or maybe he’s preparing a response.”

“Hmm,” Du Lun nodded.

He sighed inwardly, “I hope this time, we can really buy Mu Li’ang’s song. With some effort, maybe we can push Ju Jie to fame. This guy is really incompetent. Last time, when Mo Fei returned and had some popularity, I asked him to take advantage of it, but he didn’t do anything. He really doesn’t know how to seize opportunities!”

Du Lun has a brain and ambition. He was not willing to be just a mediocre agent for Ju Jie.

Since he was doing it, he wanted to make something happen. Otherwise, how could he demonstrate his talents?
