Chapter 668: Employment Offer Letter
The line for food was dwindling, one by one, until it was finally Ji You’s turn.
Ji You squeezed out a smile and said, "Senior, could I trouble you for a serving of braised pork ribs with rice?"
This third-year senior was methodical, serving Ji You justly. As he was dishing up the meal, Ji You watched him intently without taking her eyes off him. He was just like a precise scale, serving every student an almost identical amount, without any slightest favoritism.
Ji You, with her tray in hand, was ready to leave.
Who knew, the server suddenly chuckled and said, "Don’t pout, little junior, with your petite frame, I reckon you can’t eat much. This portion should be enough for you."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You gritted her teeth: "Even if you give me 10 servings, it won’t be enough for me. The question is whether you’re willing to sell it!"
The serving senior: "..."
The server laughed, "I can’t afford that, really can’t."
Ji You pouted, huffing, "I’m petite and proud of it. I’m saving fabric for the Alliance!"
The serving senior: "..."
He almost couldn’t resist bursting into laughter, thinking to himself no wonder He Bi enjoys teasing this little junior so much.
Carrying a hint of gloom, Ji You took her tray to an empty table and sat down. Soon after, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, and others also sat down, ready to start their meal when—
Suddenly—
Sheng Qingyan glanced up and down at Ji You, holding back laughter, "Being petite does indeed save on fabric."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You, with a darkened face, bared her teeth: "You’re asking for it, aren’t you? Do you even know who you’re about to offend?"
—What you’re about to offend is a ruler atop the World’s Peak, and—the world’s most powerful Soul Device Master!
Sheng Qingyan covered his mouth, "I’m not scared of a poor dead at the peak of time. Besides, the senior server is right, with your small stature, you shouldn’t be eating so much. Instead of saving fabric for the Alliance, you might as well save food."
Ji You ignored his string of nonsense, simply put down her chopsticks, and tilted her head at him: "I’ll give you one last chance."
Seeing Ji You release her hold on the tray, revealing its contents in front of herself, Sheng Qingyan’s beautiful eyes flickered, and suddenly he swiftly pinched a piece of rib from Ji You’s tray and stuffed it into his mouth, saying vaguely, "Oh... oh... what did your uncle say? I didn’t hear clearly just now."
Ji You unexpectedly showed no sign of anger, instead calmly watching Sheng Qingyan.
Huh?
What’s happening?
Sheng Qingyan was a bit puzzled.
Beside them, Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, and others were busy protecting their trays and burying their heads in their food, completely disinterested in the quarrel between Ji You and Sheng Qingyan, a true testament to ’no matter how tasty the rib rice, it’s only of foremost importance once it’s in your stomach—all else is but clouds.’
Sheng Qingyan, guarding the meat on his tray, stared at Ji You, confused: "You poor dead, what in the world are you scheming?"
A rib had been snatched away from her, yet Ji You wasn’t angry?
Sheng Qingyan felt that when things don’t seem right, there must be a demon at play, and one must be on guard.
Ji You raised her hand and pointed at Sheng Qingyan’s tray, determinedly saying, "I bet that in the next second, you’ll be handing over all your ribs to me willingly."
Sheng Qingyan rolled his eyes, scornfully replying, "In your dreams."
Ji You pointed her Light Computer at a letter, lightly huffing, "See for yourself."
Sheng Qingyan wasn’t initially all that concerned, murmuring, "What nonsense..."
While not paying much attention, he lifted his gaze casually.
Suddenly—
Sheng Qingyan exclaimed, "No way!"
Ji You: "Mmm-hmm~"
Sheng Qingyan jumped up: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
What’s going on?
The others stopped their chopsticks, looked up with some confusion, while Ji You crossed her arms and allowed everyone to stare at the open letter on the Light Computer. The content of the letter wasn’t earth-shattering, just a very ordinary job offer letter—from the Green Glaze Master Shop.
The content of the letter was simple, just a few sentences:
[Dear Rag Queen Classmate:
Congratulations, you have passed all of our shop’s interviews and assessments. We have decided to hire you for the position of long-term sales assistant. If you are willing, please come to our shop to sign an employment contract with our manager Green Glaze on **/**/**.]
Upon reading this, the others also shouted in surprise; almost instantly, everyone’s expressions and attitudes changed.
Chu Jiaojiao was the first to lean in, hugging Ji You’s elbow with a flattering smile on her face: "Ji You classmate! You look unparalleledly beautiful today, I will always like Ji You classmate..."
Ji You snorted lightly: "The affection of a flatterer is worth nothing."
Chu Jiaojiao grinned: "Even if you turn into a pig face, Ji You classmate, I will still like you."
Ji You: "Hmph~"
Over here.
Yue Qiguang was the second one to react. He furrowed his eyebrows and suddenly picked up his chopsticks to put ribs onto Ji You’s plate: "Daddy can’t finish these, so I’m giving them to number 4444, you stupi—"
Ji You: "Hmm?"
Yue Qiguang immediately shut up and squeezed out a smile: "Big boss... How many ribs do you want? Shall I add more to your plate?"
Saying that, he even tried to give his own ribs to Ji You.
Ji You glanced at him sideways and raised her hand to stop him: "Forget it, I wouldn’t want your saliva-touched ribs, my lord."
Yue Qiguang: "..."
At this moment, Yue Qiyuan was very shrewd, slipping his plate over in the gap, with a sycophantic smile on his face, saying: "Ji You classmate, you can take whichever piece of rib you fancy from my plate, I assure you, my chopsticks haven’t touched any of these ribs."
Ji You turned towards Yue Qiyuan.
Yue Qiyuan with a smile on his face: "Just take any, really, please don’t hold back."
Ji You with a look of disgust: "Looking at your big face, I’ve lost my appetite."
Yue Qiyuan: "..."
Yue Qiyuan’s face darkened, really wanting to retort ’How big can my face be compared to yours!’, but in the moment he took a deep breath and forced these words back, he immediately turned away, saying: "I’ll hide my face, you enjoy slowly ah..."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You almost laughed.
What’s the saying about being able to bend or to stand tall?
This was it.
Given time, this guy Yue Qiyuan will definitely be someone to watch.
Over here—
Watching all his buddies pull out various stunts to please classmate Ji You, Shen Changqing, who was already feeling unsettled inside, now brushed aside all the flattery and went straight to Ji You: "Classmate Ji You, I’ll treat you to ribs for one month, how about that?"
Eh?
As soon as these words came out, Ji You’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Wasn’t this blocking everyone else’s path? Besides, knowing Ji You’s opportunistic nature, wouldn’t she just ask for a raise? The rest glared at Shen Changqing, their faces full of anger, chorusing: "How unfair of Shen Changqing..."
Shen Changqing’s face slightly reddened, and he said softly: "You’re welcome to treat her too, if you like."
