Chapter 36 The First Day of Work

  After dinner, Mu Yuxin asked Tang Shuai to go find a place to stay first. After finding one, they would negotiate the price and then she would help him pay for it in advance. As for this store, it wouldn't be open for business today because she had been working all night and needed to go back and catch up on sleep. Actually, Tang Shuai could tell that Mu Yuxin was not feeling well. This was all due to the influence of Dong Yiping. To be honest, Tang Shuai really wanted to teach this Dong Yiping a lesson for making the woman he liked unhappy. Moreover, he had been with Mu Yuxin for three years, which made Tang Shuai even more jealous. Fortunately, Mu Yuxin was reserved and hadn't let that guy take advantage of her.

  Forget it, thinking about it, this guy is quite pitiful too, having to face that woman who looks even more terrifying than a ghost every day, it's also quite miserable for him. As long as he doesn't appear in front of Mu Yu Xin again, Tang Shuai won't make things difficult for him anymore.

  He said he wanted to find a house, but Tang Shuai was completely unfamiliar with this Tian Nan City, and after wandering around for a day, he still couldn't find a place to live.

  By nightfall, Tang Shuai could only call Mu Yu Xin. Otherwise, he would have to sleep on the streets at night. Originally, he wanted to go to Mu Yu Xin's house to stay for a night, but this girl was too vigilant and had a high sense of security. Even though Tang Shuai helped her solve a big problem, she still didn't trust him 100%. In the end, she let Tang Shuai temporarily stay in the store overnight.

  Mu Yu Xin's home is not far from the store, just in a small district across the street. Mu Yu Xin used a dining table to help Tang Shuai assemble a bed, then brought over two quilts and let him make do with sleeping for one night, saying that tomorrow she would accompany him to find a house.

  Looking back now, it's not easy to deal with Mu Yu Xin. She will draw a line very clearly, as long as you don't cross this line, no matter how you talk or joke, she doesn't care. But once you cross this line, she will immediately say no to you. Just like tonight, Tang Shuai has nowhere to stay and wants to stay at her house for one night, but it's not possible. After all, Mu Yu Xin is alone, and she can't bring a man she just met back home, even if Tang Shuai helped her a lot.

  The next day, Tang Shuai went to find a house with Mu Yu Xin. In the end, they found a two-bedroom apartment in Mu Yu Xin's neighborhood, which was enough for Tang Shuai to live in. Tang Shuai also considered Mo Mo, but that girl was unpredictable and might not necessarily live with him together.

  Because they are in the same neighborhood, it will be more convenient to visit each other later. Moreover, the two houses are adjacent, Mu Yu Xin is in Building 3 and Tang Shuai is in Building 2. Both are on the third floor, Tang Shuai can see Mu Yu Xin's balcony from his own balcony. If both of them stand on their balconies and speak loudly, they can chat with each other.

  The rent is at least half a year, and Mu Yu Xin also helped Tang Shuai pay half a year's rent. It was also because Tang Shuai had helped her that she might have let him work in her store at most, but wouldn't have paid his rent for him. Half a year's rent was almost equal to half a year's salary for Tang Shuai, and Mu Yu Xin would also deduct it from his salary afterwards.

  And it comes with three meals a day, so Tang Shuai won't have to spend much money either.

  The house is fully furnished and ready for move-in.

  "Tang Shuai, take that quilt to my home, or else you can buy a new one." After helping Tang Shuai clean the house, all that's left is to make the bed and it'll be ready for someone to move in.

  "No need to buy, no need to buy. A quilt used by a beauty is something that can't be bought with money." Tang Shuai said hastily.

  “……”

  Mu Yu Xin took Tang Shuai to her home, the houses in this neighborhood are all the same style. Mu Yu Xin's side is slightly better decorated, there isn't much furniture at home, but it's very tidy. Living alone and being able to keep the house so clean shows that this woman is a virtuous wife and good mother type.

  "Sheet, blanket, pillow, hold on." Mu Yu Xin rummaged through the closet and handed some bedding to Tang Shuai.

  Tang Shuai smelled it and found a faint scent of delicate fragrance.

  "Alright, go to bed early tonight. The shop opens at 6 am tomorrow, don't be late." After helping Tang Shuai tidy up the bed, Mu Yuxin wiped the sweat from her forehead.

  "Thank you, Yuxin sister."

  "No need, no need. You've also helped me a lot, so work hard in the future, I'm very strict when it comes to work." Mu Yu Xin sat down on the edge of the bed, today was spent helping Tang Shuai tidy up, and she was also quite tired.

  "I'll definitely work hard, Yu Xin sister. If I do well, can you promote me from a shop assistant to the boss?" Tang Shuai said with a smile.

  “……”

  Mu Yu Xin felt speechless. This guy always seemed to steer the conversation in this direction after just a few sentences.

  "I'm going home, don't be late tomorrow." Mu Yu Xin left after saying this.

  The next day, Tang Shuai got up early.

  "Yu Xin Jie Zao." After arriving at the store, it was exactly six o'clock, and Mu Yu Xin had already opened the door of the store.

  "Good morning."

  The two of them didn't chat idly anymore and started working. To be honest, the store was opened in this location, business wasn't very good. Early in the morning there were hardly any customers, at most just nearby residents coming to eat a bowl of noodles. So, working here was quite relaxing too.

  Such a business, Tang Shuai felt that the store was not losing money, it's already good. Now he needs to hire an employee, provide three meals, and the burden is quite big.

  Indeed, the store has been in this location since the school moved away and there hasn't been much business. Usually, it relies on some old customers to support it. However, after Mu Yu Xin's father passed away, she reopened the store but basically at a loss. But her father had hoped that she would keep the store open before he died, so Mu Yu Xin has persisted. However, how long she can persist, even she herself doesn't know.

  Yesterday, Mu Yu Xin told Tang Shuai that the previous shop assistant had resigned, but it wasn't like that. She thought she couldn't afford to feel burdened, so she quit.

  However, when she met Tang Shuai who had nowhere to live and no job, and considering that Tang Shuai had also helped her a lot, this is why she was moved by sympathy. But as for how life would go on afterwards, the pressure on her was also quite big.

  "Tang Shuai, it's almost closing time, I'm going to buy some groceries, come over to my place for dinner in an hour." At 5 pm, Mu Yuxin asked Tang Shuai to close up shop.

  "Didn't you say you're usually open until 8 pm?" Tang Shuai asked.

  "There's no business anyway, let's close up. I'm going to buy some vegetables." Mu Yu Xin said as she left the store. This was also part of her promise to take care of Tang Shuai's meals.

  Today was a busy day at work, and Tang Shuai also felt it. Mu Yu Xin's pressure is huge. Firstly, the store is losing money, and on top of that, he has to provide her with three meals and a salary.

  Tang Shuai felt that things couldn't go on like this, Mu Yuxin wasn't easy to deal with either, he had to reduce some pressure for her. But it's easy to say, it's not easy to really implement it, after all, how can the store be revived?
