Chapter 5

Tiandao Jingyan soon left Teikou.

Teikou hadn't started school yet; the new semester was a week away.

Having settled the school issue, Tiandao Jingyan faced another problem.

"Where should I go to make money?"

"Looks like I have to get a part-time job."

Part-time work culture is quite popular in Japan.

Many kids start working to support their studies from junior high; you can see young servers everywhere you go.

Just as he was thinking about it, Tiandao Jingyan saw a coffee shop with a recruitment notice posted.

He walked straight in.

"Welcome! Do you have a reservation, guest?"

As soon as he entered the door, a girl of about 18 greeted him politely.

Tiandao Jingyan had his hands in his pockets, scanned the surroundings, and nodded in satisfaction, seeing that the environment was quite nice.

"I saw the recruitment notice at your door; I'm here for an interview."

An interview?

The server looked at him strangely.

With Tiandao Jingyan's arrogant look, he looked more like a cocky second-generation rich kid than a part-timer.

After all, who comes to a coffee shop for an interview wearing such cool sunglasses?

However, she still politely led Tiandao Jingyan inside.

"For an interview, you need the boss lady's approval."

"Please follow me."

"Alright, thank you."

Tiandao Jingyan followed behind the server and soon arrived at the coffee shop's kitchen.

Even though it's a coffee shop, you can't just sell coffee and nothing else, right?

"Boss lady, someone is here for an interview!"

The boss lady turned her head upon hearing this and saw a handsome figure!

Even with the sunglasses, her years of experience allowed her to see at a glance that this was a drop-dead handsome young boy.

"I'm here to..."

"Take off your sunglasses and let me see."

"Ah, oh?"

Tiandao Jingyan complied, taking off his sunglasses with great style, revealing a pair of pale blue eyes.

He had looked like a cynical rich kid, but instantly transformed into an elegant young nobleman.

"Hello, I'm here to..."

"You're hired!"

The boss lady pushed the server aside and walked over, staring intently at Tiandao Jingyan's face.

"Just like that?"

"Yes, you're hired! Start working tomorrow!"

Is it really this much of a joke?

Tiandao Jingyan complained in his heart, but said aloud, "Don't you need to test my professional skills?"

"Well, can you make coffee?"

"No!"

"That's fine, you can learn slowly if you don't know. By the way, what's your name?"

"Zhou... Tiandao Jingyan!"

"Tiandao Jingyan, what a good name, full of dominance!"

Tiandao Jingyan, "..."

There were even more things he wanted to complain about.

Is this shop really hiring a clerk and not a host?

What do you mean by staring at my face since just now?

"Where are you from, little Tiandao?"

I'm not little, I'm above standard size!

"Where am I from... probably not a local."

"What about your parents?"

"Not here."

That's not wrong; they're in another world.

"So you're on your own?"

"For now, yes."

"Do you have a place to stay?"

"No, I was planning to go look for one later."

His so-called "looking" meant robbing the rich to help the poor, mugging a few fated individuals to borrow some money for a night's stay.

That's how he got through the first day; who told the System not to cover food and lodging?

He could only borrow from some small-time thugs.

"I see. There's an apartment behind the shop. I used to live there when I worked, but now that my child is born, I need to take care of them, so it's been sitting empty. I can rent it to you first."

Is your shop's treatment really this good?

Tiandao Jingyan looked at the server in surprise, only to see the other person looking so aggrieved she was about to cry.

This made Tiandao Jingyan unable to stop himself from thinking in other directions.

"I'm sorry, boss lady, I will not sell my chastity!"

"What chastity? I don't want your chastity, I want your youth!"

"I'm sorry, boss lady, my youth is as important to me as my chastity!"

Tiandao Jingyan wanted to leave right now, immediately.

I just want a part-time job; why are you trying to keep me as a kept man?

"You're talking nonsense; what are you thinking about?" The boss lady rolled her eyes at him and said, "Although my shop is a coffee shop, because it's near the school, the customers are mostly students. Do you understand now?"

"I don't understand."

"Dummy, I want this face of yours, understand?"

The boss lady couldn't help but reach out and pinch Tiandao Jingyan's handsome face, clicking her tongue, "If I were twenty years younger, I guarantee I'd chase you until you agreed to be my boyfriend!"

"That's no problem; I can definitely handle being a vase."

"Then it's a deal. By the way, where do you go to school?"

"Teikou!"

"That's quite close. That's it then. Your working hours will be from when you finish school until 10 PM. I'll only give you one day off on weekends, four days off a month. Any problems?"

"Got it!"
