Chapter 9 Mortal Life(1/2)

Li Qiang said seriously: "I need a job, and it doesn't matter how much I earn, as long as I have some food to eat."

The middle-aged woman stammered: "You...you, we don't need to hire workers, you can try it somewhere else."

Li Qiang would not give up until he achieved his goal. He pretended to be in a down-and-out manner and said, "Oh, I wandered to Haishi and kept looking for a job. After spending all my savings, I will be on the street tomorrow. Auntie, I will count on this job." A little bit of sound-consciousness was added to my words.

The middle-aged woman's tears were about to flow down, and she said pity: "Poor child, let's work in our store. Maybe the salary is not much, so you can eat and be full."

Li Qiang felt ashamed in his heart that he had to use such means to stay. He hurriedly thanked, "Thank you aunt." After saying that, his unit felt a little embarrassed.

The middle-aged woman shouted into the room: "Xiaorong's dad, come out quickly!"

A middle-aged man asked from the inside that he was wearing a white apron, his hands were covered with white flour, his face was very wrinkled, and he looked honest. He asked, "Lihong, what's the matter?"

Li Hong smiled and said, "I hired you a helper. By the way, young man, can you make pastries?"

The middle-aged man raised his head in surprise, with the wrinkles on his face getting deeper. He said, "Lihong, we are such a small pastry shop and can't afford to hire humans...you..."

Li Qiang hurriedly said, "Uncle, give as much as you pay, as long as you can have a place to eat." He used Yinhuo's method again.

Poor two mortals can resist Li Qiang's voice confusion. The middle-aged man lifted up the hem of the apron to wipe his hands, and said in a muffled voice: "That... well, I'll give you five hundred yuan a month to eat and live in the store."

Li Qiang just wanted to stay, not give money or food. He said, "Thank you uncle, thank you aunt, my name is Li Qiang, you can call me Xiao Li."

Lihong said, "Xiao Li, my surname is Cai, just call me Aunt Cai. There are only three people in our small shop. The child's father's surname is Qi. In the future, you call him Uncle Qi. He is an honest man and can only work alone. We have a daughter who also helps in the shop..."

Before she finished speaking, the girl came out of the room and shouted, "Dad, mom, what are you talking about... Huh... Who is he?" She was stunned when she saw Li Qiang.

Since Li Qiang's cultivation reached the Seven Stars Realm, his temperament has changed a lot. Under deliberate concealment, he is not much different from an ordinary person, but his appearance is extremely handsome.

He did not have a illusion of appearance this time because the Chongxuan Sect has rules, and the leader must get the answer from the inherited brothers. He must not force his brothers. Fu Shan waited for Li Qiang for several years back then.

The same is true for Li Qiang now. He cannot deceive this little girl, nor can he even use sound-confusing means to use sound-confusing methods to her.

The little girl was shocked by Li Qiang's appearance, and her instant loss made her face flush. No wonder, after all, Li Qiang is a super master of cultivating gods, and her aura is not something that ordinary people can resist. Fortunately, Li Qiang has tried his best to restrain himself.

Cai Lihong said: "Xiao Li, this is my eldest daughter, her name is Qi Xiaorong. She just graduated from college and has not found a job yet, so she helps at home."

Li Qiang said, "Hello sister Xiaorong, my name is Li Qiang. I will work in your store from now on." He did not use Yinhuo's means, and his tone of speaking was very sincere.

Qi Xiaorong seemed very different. After a moment of dazed expression, she waved her hand and said, "Hey, who is your sister? Mom, why did you accept a stranger to help? Does he have any identity certificate... Hello, show me your identity certificate."

She stretched out her hand without hesitation, looking distrustful.

Li Qiang's mentality is extremely calm now. He smiled and took out the ID card given by Zhao Hao and handed it over, saying, "Sister Xiaorong is very cautious. This is my ID card."

Qi Xiaorong took the ID card, took a look, and shouted in fuss: "Oh my god, you are twenty-eight years old? I thought you were only eighteen years old! Well, forget it, I'll give it to you anyway, it doesn't matter if my mother hired you." She threw the ID card to Li Qiang, turned around and went back to the inner room.

Cai Lihong said a little embarrassedly: "Xiaorong has a stubborn temper, don't be surprised... By the way, do you have anything else to deal with? Or do you go to work now?"

Li Qiang said: "Aunt Cai, I'm fine, just go to work now."

Uncle Qi said, "Xiao Li, just help sell pastries here, don't go to the kitchen to help." He thought Li Qiang would definitely not be able to make pastries, so he turned around and went back to the inner room.

Cai Lihong said: "Xiao Li, this is the price list of pastries. You can get familiar with it first and take care of the store by the way. I will go shopping for vegetables and come back later." She took off her apron and hurried out.

Li Qiang didn't expect that the family was so relaxed, and the people who had just hired were relieved to hand over the store to himself for supervision.

He picked up the price list, remembered it quickly with his thoughts, and then quickly checked it with the pastries on the shelf. It took him only a few minutes to complete this little thing.

Not long after, Li Qiang sold a lot of pastries. Without exception, he used Yinhuo to buy pastries. Even the person who came in to see him was encouraged to buy a lot of them.

He was originally a businessman, so he felt it was normal to use some means to make people shop. Anyway, it was food, and there was no problem of whether it was suitable or not when buying it, so he simply ran out of the door to attract customers.

With Li Qiang's shouts filled with confusion, everyone who heard them rushed into the shop.

When Cai Lihong returned to the store, she was surprised to find that all the pastries in the store were gone and the shelves were empty.

Li Qiang stood behind the counter and said with a smile: "Aunt Cai, the pastry department was sold today. This is the money collected, and every transaction has a record."

Cai Lihong looked at Li Qiang in disbelief. This was too exaggerated. After only one hour, Li Qiang sold all the pastries in the store.

She walked to the payment desk, checked the accounting computer, and found that Li Qiang not only sold the pastries produced that day, but even the pastries that were not sold out a few days ago and were about to expire.

She asked in surprise and joy: "Xiao Li, how did you... sell it?"

Li Qiang was just thinking about how to flatter him, and then he realized that it was abnormal to do so. It was impossible to say that he was using Yinhuo to encourage others to buy it. He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Well, maybe today... this... everyone wants to eat pastries, I don't know it will be so easy to sell, haha."

Cai Lihong's face turned red with excitement, and she shouted: "Xiaorong's dad, come out quickly, come out quickly!"

Uncle Qi hurriedly ran out of it and asked, "What's so urgent?"

Cai Lihong pointed to the empty shelf and said, "Xiao Li sold all the pastries. This kid is so capable."

Li Qiang was dizzy when he heard this. If he was counted as the age of the earth, he was many times older than Cai Lihong. Now he became the child she said. However, in order to be a guide, he didn't care. He thought to himself: "I have a lot of meat to call him, so she can just say that she can do it."

Uncle Qi showed joy on his face and said, "I understand. The pastries that just came out of the oven in the kitchen have been sold, and someone has ordered more than a dozen cakes. I have to work overtime tonight." The wrinkles on his face stretched out.

Li Qiang finally felt relieved. He was afraid that the old couple would doubt him, so it would be difficult to deal with.

Cai Lihong said happily: "It's closed today. I'll make some side dishes to reward everyone. Xiao Li has a rest. I'll clean up the room first and arrange for Xiao Li to stay."

She walked towards the inner room excitedly, Uncle Qi smiled honestly, and turned around and went in.

Li Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, and a warm feeling surged in his heart, as if he had returned to his own home.

"Day Ye Cake Shop" is a very small storefront located in a small alley in a residential area. It is a two-story low-rise building with a very lateral terrain.

The architectural age of this residential area seems to be a long time ago. Most of them are six or seven-story buildings, which are a little better than slums. It is obviously not a place for rich people to live.

Walking out of this residential area and passing two intersections is the bustling commercial street. Therefore, many real estate developers are interested in this land, but they require large demolition costs, which is not something that ordinary real estate developers can afford.

Li Qiang was arranged in a small cottage next to the kitchen, and only one single bed was placed.

It turned out to be a storage room, which was very small, and the single bed occupied most of the space. Li Qiang didn't care where he lived, as long as he had a place to sit.

Cai Lihong said apologetically: "There are only two rooms upstairs, and there is really no place to arrange it. I can only feel wronged that you will sleep here."

Li Qiang smiled and said, "Aunt Cai, it's okay. I live downstairs and just guard the store."

The "Day and Night Cake Shop" is not open for 24 hours. It usually closes at 9 pm. Today, because all the pastries are sold out, it closes in the afternoon.

Cai Lihong was busy preparing the meal, but Li Qiang couldn't help, so he asked, "Aunt Cai, is there a phone number here?"

Cai Lihong pointed upstairs and said, "Oh, there is a phone number upstairs."

Li Qiang went up the narrow stairs, and there were only two rooms on the second floor, with the doors tightly closed. Li Qiang used his spiritual sense to immediately know which room Qi Xiaorong was in.

He knocked on the door lightly, and Qi Xiaorong shouted in the room: "Who? Come in."

Li Qiang pushed open the door and saw Qi Xiaorong lying on the bed with her back on her back. When she saw Li Qiang coming in, she screamed and jumped up.

Without waiting for her to get angry, Li Qiang immediately said, "I'm sorry, I'll borrow the phone to use it."

Qi Xiaorong was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She pointed at Li Qiang and said only one word: "You...you..."

Li Qiang nodded and smiled, "I? I'm fine, thank you." He walked directly to the desk and picked up the phone.

Qi Xiaorong opened her mouth wide and couldn't say a word. This was the first time she saw such a person who talked to herself. She wanted to kick this guy out of the door, but she was too burly and powerful. If he took action, he would definitely not be the one who kicked out of the room. She would be very likely.

She gasped heavily, and had a secret plan in her heart.

The phone on Qi Xiaorong's desk is still an old-fashioned model, with no visual screen, only buttons. Li Qiang answered the phone and said, "Zhao Hao, it's me, Si, I'm in Haishi now, don't come here, I will go to you in a while... Is the things I explained?"

When Li Qiang put down the phone, Qi Xiaorong had recovered. She reached out and said, "Ten dollars, give me ten dollars!"

Li Qiang was amused and asked knowingly: "What's ten yuan?"

Qi Xiaorong smiled: "The phone bill! Ten yuan, get it quickly!" She thought to herself: "It depends on what you are going to pay for." She knew this guy was a pauper.

There was countless money on the bank card in Li Qiang's bracelet, but there was no cash. He smiled and said, "Well, it's only ten yuan, it's very cheap. I'll pay you next time." He said, and walked out the door.

Qi Xiaorong jumped from the bed to the ground, blocked Li Qiang's way, and said, "I don't pay any credit, I will pay!"

Li Qiang stared at her with a smile, and used his spiritual sense to explore her physique. He felt a little disappointed. After all, the flower of the Heart is based on the physique of a man, and there is a certain difference between the physical condition of a girl.

He had no choice but to list Qi Xiaorong as one of the candidates with regret. If he could find a more suitable person, he would not be her leader.

Qi Xiaorong was confused by Li Qiang's view. She suddenly didn't know what to do. In a panic, she stammered: "You...you...don't you...you..."

Li Qiang's experience was extraordinary. Just a simple gaze made Qi Xiaorong at a loss.

He took back his spiritual sense and smiled and said, "The phone bill will be deducted from my salary. I will say goodbye." After that, he turned around and left the room and went downstairs.

Qi Xiaorong took a step back, sat on the edge of the bed with her legs soft, and muttered, "It's outrageous, I will never forgive you..." For a moment, her mind was filled with Li Qiang's deep eyes, and she seemed to have seen through it by him, and she was uncomfortable all over.

Cai Lihong shouted downstairs: "Xiaorong, it's time to eat."

There were four dishes and one soup on the dining table. Li Qiang didn't want to eat at all, so Cai Lihong enthusiastically picked up dishes for Li Qiang.

Qi Xiaorong frowned and bitter, ate absent-mindedly, glanced at Li Qiang from time to time, muttering: "The weird guy is just a weird guy..."

Cai Lihong said, "Xiaorong, what are you talking about, muttering?"

Uncle Qi said, "Eat, eat. Why don't Xiao Li not eat it? Do you think it's not suitable for the taste?"

Li Qiang hurriedly smiled and said, "No, it's delicious." He picked up his bowl and started eating.

Qi Xiaorong snorted and whispered: "I can't help you!"

Cai Lihong glared at Xiaorong and said, "Xiaorong's father, when buying vegetables today, I saw the notice that Parkson Industrial Real Estate Company was going to develop this residential area. Alas, if it was demolished, our small shop would not be able to open."

Qi Xiaorong's attention was immediately attracted. She said: "Although this residential area is not a home for rich people, it is not so easy for real estate companies to acquire it. There were no real estate companies in the past few times, but it was not that there was no result. Most of the people here didn't want to move out."

Uncle Qi shook his head and said, "Anyway, I don't sell small shops, so no one can drive me away."
