"This is a bit difficult." Jiang Qi said tactfully.
As a poor man who was selected by a game system and whose bank account balance did not reach five figures, Jiang Qi said that the rent in a high-end community was too expensive and he could not afford it.
Old John didn't react at all, just nodded.
The bowl of noodles is empty.
"Do you have any other needs?" Jiang Qi asked.
"I need a job." Old John glanced at Jiang Qi's empty bowl, "Do you have to finish the soup together with these noodles?"
"...This is not necessary."
Old John didn't drink the soup and sat quietly on the chair.
Jiang Qi had not thought of the summoning card to summon a living person in need of food and drink. Jiang Qi first calculated his savings, then secretly glanced at Old John's card details, and made a decision in his mind.
"I will take you to buy some changes of clothes later. You will stay at my house for the next few days, and your mobile phone..."
"I have it." Old John took out his mobile phone from his pocket. Not only did he have a mobile phone but also a wallet. Inside there was a British ID card, a transportation card and a few pounds.
I just don’t know if this ID card can be used.
Jiang Qi took Old John's mobile phone and looked at it. It was a very old-fashioned blue screen brick machine. Jiang Qi had not seen this style of mobile phone since he was in junior high school. It was still usable. Jiang Qi used Old John's brick machine.
I tried to call myself and found that the phone card inside was actually a domestic phone card.
Unexpectedly, this card system is quite user-friendly, and mobile phone cards are just like the Romans.
Not having to buy a mobile phone saved a lot of money. Jiang Qi returned the mobile phone to Old John and continued: "I am currently the acting store manager of a script-killing store. You will be a store clerk for the time being, mainly responsible for the hygiene of the store. Do you need anything?
Just tell me directly, although it may not be possible."
For example, living in a wealthy neighborhood.
Jiang Qi is now more confused about where Old John will live in the future.
His home is a large house with four bedrooms and two living rooms. He, Jiang Bing and his parents each have one room, and one is a guest room. Now that Jiang Bing has run away to escape reality, he will definitely not be able to come back in a short time. Jiang Qi’s parents have always
People who do business abroad usually only come back during the Chinese New Year. Logically speaking, there is no problem for Old John to stay for a few months first.
The problem now is that Jiang Qi's sister-in-law and uncle will come to Jiang Qi's door every now and then to deliver food to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi has many relatives, including three uncles and two uncles and one aunt. Because Jiang Qi’s grandparents died young, Jiang Qi’s father Jiang Xiaoliang, second uncle Jiang Xiaoguang and sister-in-law Jiang Xiaohong were all taken care of by his uncle Jiang Xiaokang.
Bring up the older ones.
The eldest brother is like his father. Jiang Xiaokang was both father and mother, raising his younger brothers and sisters. When he was young, he had no money to get married in order to support his younger brothers and sisters. He didn't marry his wife until he was in his thirties. As a result, his only daughter, Jiang Wanwan, was even younger than Jiang Qi.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Qi's uncles and aunts have an extremely close relationship. Whenever they have to get together during the holidays in the same city, they go to Jiang Xiaokang's house for New Year's Eve dinner every New Year.
Jiang Qi's biological father, Jiang Xiaoliang, is a rare educated person among his peers in the Jiang family. Compared with his eldest uncle, Jiang Xiaokang, he only knew a few words after attending elementary school for one year. His second uncle, Jiang Xiaoguang, graduated from elementary school for two years and then went south to work. His sister-in-law, Jiang Xiaohong, graduated from junior high school.
He worked as an apprentice and was assigned to work in a lumber factory after graduating from technical secondary school. Jiang Xiaoliang is undoubtedly a literary star.
It's just that this literary star's road to the world was a bit bumpy.
Jiang Qi's biological mother, Qiao Huifang, was an accountant at a lumber factory and also graduated from a technical secondary school. She met and married Jiang Xiaoliang in person, and they were considered a model couple that everyone admired.
Then the lumber factory closed down and the couple were laid off. At that time, Qiao Huifang was still pregnant with Jiang Bing. When the couple was at their poorest, they had to borrow rice from the eldest brother's house, a bowl from the second brother's house, and briquettes from her father-in-law's house to survive.
It is said that when Jiang Bing was born, his family was so poor that they could not even make a sound. When Jiang Bing was a child, he had no milk powder and could only drink rice cereal. Seeing his wife and children living like this, Jiang Xiaoliang gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. He found a relationship with his ex-colleague and
Colleagues went to Nanyang to do lumber business together.
At first, Jiang Xiaoliang worked for his boss. Later, he saved some money and started working on his own. He made a lot of money. Although he did not become rich and powerful, he could still be called a small rich man. When Jiang Qi was ten years old, Jiang Xiaoliang wanted to gamble.
He turned a big bicycle into a motorcycle and almost went bankrupt after losing a bet. If his brother and sister hadn't poured out all their money to help Jiang Xiaoliang, he would have reached the top that year.
From then on, Jiang Xiaoliang realized that he was honestly doing his own small business to make hard money. When Qiao Huifang saw that their two children were grown, she went into business with Jiang Xiaoliang. Although Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing's parents have not been around since they were young,
, but it’s not the least bit unfair.
Jiang Xiaokang transferred the love he had shown to his younger brother over the years to his nephews and nieces. Jiang Xiaohong had admired the well-educated younger brothers since she was a child and cared most about Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing. Jiang Xiaoguang, like Jiang Xiaoliang, only came back during the Chinese New Year because he had been working in the coastal areas all year round.
, so he always pays special attention to the younger generations in the family, and will buy anything new and send it back. In addition, Cao Yongjun, the neighbor above Jiang Qi's house, is an old colleague of Jiang Xiaoliang and his wife, so he naturally takes good care of the two siblings.
.
At their peak, the siblings ate five meals a day and were always considered by their elders as having no food and were dragged home to eat.
Jiang Xiaoliang had a keen eye and saw through early on that house prices would definitely rise. Not only did he buy a house early, he also persuaded his brother and sister to lend them money to buy a house together. Because of this, the families lived very close to each other.
Even though Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing are older now, their sister-in-law and uncle will habitually bring over a portion of the delicious food they have cooked.
So now the question is, if old John lives at home, how should he explain it to his relatives?
If he rented a single room for Old John alone, Jiang Qi was worried that his poor wallet would not be able to bear it.
Jiang Qi fell into a dilemma.
Old John may have noticed Jiang Qi's confusion and said, "I can live anywhere."
"It's okay to sleep on the street."
Jiang Qi:……
That's not necessary...
He summoned people from cards to work for him in vain, but as a result, he didn't even have a place to live so that an old man in his 150s or 60s could sleep on the street.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What will happen to him if you do this? Wouldn't he become a black-hearted capitalist like Jiang Bing who is bent on squeezing his employees?
"Let's stay at my house first."
It's really not possible to find a cheap single room to rent in the community. Let's talk about the price, which is three to four hundred a month, which is affordable in a short period of time.
If money is given for all subsequent missions in the game, it is not impossible to support a large living person.
The community where Jiang Qi's family is located has a certain age. There is no bustling business district around it, and all facilities are relatively old. There is only one elementary school nearby, and the rent has always been very cheap.
After making the plan, Jiang Qi got up and took Old John to the store to see the environment where he would work in the future. The upper and lower floors of the store totaled nearly 400 square meters, and it would be a lot of work to clean carefully.
Jiang Qi led Old John to the store, but Liu Lan was still the only one in the store.
Seeing Jiang Qi coming, Liu Lan wanted to ask him what he was doing when he suddenly ran out, but he was stunned when he saw old John behind Jiang Qi.
"This is... the guest who came to play with me?" Liu Lan asked uncertainly, "Hello?"
Jiang Qi pretended to be stupid: "He came to our store to apply for a cleaning job. His name is John. He speaks Chinese very well."
"She is Liu Lan, and she is also a clerk in our store." Jiang Qi introduced Liu Lan to Old John.
Old John nodded towards Liu Lan.
Liu Lan:?
Is the store rich enough to hire a full-time cleaning staff?
But why a foreigner?
Just when Liu Lan was full of doubts, Old John had already found cleaning tools and started cleaning the store, demonstrating his profession and professionalism.
"He is a foreign teacher at my university. He has just resigned and is engaged in art. He was the instructor of the drama club before. I was in the drama club at university, so I am familiar with him. He speaks Chinese very well and likes to clean and find inspiration. He recently came to our city to collect news.
, I just applied for a job as a cleaner." Jiang Qi had already thought of the lie on the way back to the store.
"Very professional. He has been finding inspiration this way for decades."
Liu Lan, who is also majoring in art, was greatly shocked.
Before Liu Lan could react, Jiang Qi quickly changed the subject: "I remember you said before that there is a carload of guests who have made an appointment for the "Mask Club" tonight next Monday."
"Yes." Liu Lan nodded.
"I've read almost all of Little John's books, and I've also read a little bit of the host's manual. I'll probably finish reading all of them today. You said before that you wanted me to perform the performance, what should I do?"
"Oh, just play what's on the memory card." When it came to business, Liu Lan had no time to think about how a university teacher could have such a strange hobby as cleaning.
"If you open the deductive version, all those memory cards do not need to be issued to the players. Just like John's six cards, except for the last one, which is the biggest one when he learned about the death of old John, the others can be changed to deductive effects.
will be better."
"That's right." Jiang Qi fell into deep thought. Now that the real Old John has been summoned by him, it would be a waste of resources not to let Old John play his true role.
"It's like this. Mr. John has been having trouble finding inspiration recently. He has been sweeping the streets for several months to no avail. When he was in our drama club, he liked to play roles to help him find inspiration. He will come to our store to apply for a cleaning job.
I also heard that he can act in script-killing shops. Isn’t the role of Old John very suitable for him? He is a foreigner and his age is very suitable. How about I discuss with him and let him try playing Old John, so that he can find inspiration."
Liu Lan followed Jiang Qi's words and looked at Old John. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, and he said excitedly: "It's true!"
"Jiang Qi, I think what you said is very suitable."
Liu Lan stared at Old John with bright eyes: "If this can be staged, the player who takes John's book will cry to death. God, this is so enjoyable just thinking about it."
Jiang Qi:?
