Guild Boss's Ambition

The fox clown giggled and turned her cunning and deep eyes to ask back: "Or should we change to a more feminist statement? For example - she has used many men? Yeah, it sounds much more positive!"

really……

Speaking from a personal perspective, I really don't like Miss Lola, and the reason is her disrespectful and chaotic behavior. I don't like people who fall into depravity due to their desires. True beauty should be something more noble and rational, and beautiful things should be set off by equally beautiful things.

but……

The person who is qualified to judge value will not be myself.

Miss Laura undoubtedly has qualities that I don't have. She is like a firework. As long as she encounters the right fuel, she will burn. Since she is fond of new things and dislikes old things, this firework will soon burn out. In the eyes of some people, such a Laura may be a dream beauty as beautiful as fireworks.

Looking at Sister Meng'er with a rich expression from afar, I slowly calmed down my restless mood.

It's always hard in the beginning, and I'm not perfect.

I pretended not to mind and asked the clown, "So, you came here today just to tell me this?"

The clown shook his finger and answered excitedly: "Tsk, tsk, tsk! Are you surprised? I am here to talk to you seriously today. I have read your masterpiece and I think it is very interesting, so I came to give you my review in person!"

Not to mention that I don't want her book review at all, the point is that my novel has not been officially published at all.

I was dissatisfied and rebuked: "Did you peek?"

ViVi nodded calmly and said, "Not only the novels you wrote, but also many other things I accidentally peeked at, such as your diary, and those failed drawings you threw into the trash. In short, in order to become one of your best friends, I have done my best to collect sufficient information."

Although I don't do anything wrong on a daily basis, I was still scared by her.

I continued to curse: "Pervert, I'm going to call the police."

The foxy clown raised an eyebrow and said with a sly smile, "Call the police? Are you willing to do that? You're not willing, are you? Hehe."

Although it's not 100% accurate, ViVi has always grasped my thoughts very accurately. I can even say that she is the person who knows me best in the world, while Sister Meng'er is the person who knows me least.

I generally don’t want others to know me too well.

But ViVi is an exception, she has never been a part of my life.

This clown is an unstable existence, a landscape that may never appear again at any time. Talking to someone like her is like talking to flowers, plants and trees. She will not tell my worries to others, she knows the rules to keep the game going. She will never be a part of "us", but just a passer-by who comes for fun.

"ViVi, are you in a relationship?" I asked her.

"The Story of Yuan Gong is a very good work, but the plot is too realistic. Can't you arrange some more absurd coincidences? Without those coincidences, would reality still be reality? By the way, do you want to add a clown character with fox ears? That would definitely make the whole book more interesting."

The Fox Clown did not answer my question, but it does not rule out that she has answered my question. I imagined the consequences of adding a character like her into the novel, and that brief imagination immediately gave me a chill.

"It's simply impossible to write a book──"

I rejected the fox clown's proposal immediately, but she seemed to have foreseen my rejection and only complained about my coldness with a grin. But in the final analysis, there was indeed not much friendship between her and me. But if it was true that we had no friendship, then why did she try so hard to help our stone house to overcome the difficulty of the wrath of nature?

No.

This is the only question that must be asked clearly.

Otherwise I won't be able to determine the actual distance between her and me.

"Why did you help us that day?"

The meaning of my question was very clear, at least she understood it very well.

"Reason? You mean the wrath of nature? That was almost two months ago, right? I have a bad memory and have basically forgotten how I felt at that time. But, I must have thought about it at that time, right? To contribute to those friends who were usually fooled by me... Are you expecting me to say that? Haha!"

At the end, the clown put on that hateful sly smile again.

Is he as cunning as I am, deliberately hiding his thoughts?

Or was she always so innocent, just a crazy girl who loved to play pranks?

I stared at her face and fell into deep thought. Her figure slowly faded away and disappeared in the noisy bar. But perhaps in this empty time, she had not yet left. She was just secretly watching our stories in that invisible world, and then at some point when she couldn't hold back, she would jump out again to express her own feelings.

21. Newcomer poster girl (Berlanie)

(Branny Erhard)

"Anyway, I'll leave this cute child to you two to help take care of! Bye!"

Sister Meng'er has always been a crazy collector who loves to pick up random things.

Whether it was a slime doll giveaway for store marketing or a teddy bear doll that she loved so much as a child, as long as she had some spare money, she would involuntarily bring all the things she liked back to the guild and then find a suitable place for them.

When it comes to hiring guild poster girls, my sister has more or less the same desire to collect.

The new child picked up by Sister Meng'er is called Taimi. She is Lian'er's classmate and the same age as Xiaolan and Gushan. She looks tall and slender. She is not very cute in her dress, but very neat. Although her face is not very pretty, her refreshing smile makes people feel like spring breeze, which adds a lot of points to her invisibly.

"Sister, you have a really good eye."

After looking at the new hostess with me, Anne, who has been in better spirits recently, asked, "So, Brannie, where do you think we should put this child? Generally speaking, children of her age are not suitable to stay in the bar area, but the staff in the cafeteria has been arranged not long ago..."

According to Meng'er's sister, the child wanted to find a stable long-term job.

The only job that can offer enough working hours now is the bartender in the bar area.

Do not……

Even the bar area, which has long been short of people, is probably a bit overcrowded recently.

Maybe Annie didn't point out this fact to her face because she was concerned about Taimi's feelings?

I thought about it and came up with an idea: "In addition to the wine waiter, Xiaolan has also recently proposed to strengthen the cleaning of bedding."

"Hasn't that proposal been formally finalized yet?"

"Why don't we give it a try first?"

"Yeah, I see what you mean."

After understanding my intention, Annie smiled at the newlyweds who had been waiting for a long time.

The half-elf's smile was very healing and effectively eased the newcomer's anxiety, allowing her to straighten her chest a little. As the most experienced hostess in our Stone House, Annie was impeccable in leading the newcomers. No matter how introverted and eccentric a child was, as long as they were in front of Sister Annie, they would become as docile and obedient as little animals within half an hour.

"Hello, Taimi. I'm the guild's poster girl supervisor. You can call me Annie. This is Berlane, the guild master's sister and a more senior poster girl. Although she basically doesn't do much now, if you encounter any difficulties or questions, you can seek her help. Of course, the same goes for me."

Since there was still some time before the official work time, Annie did not slack off, but explained to Taimi in detail the distribution of power within our guild. Basically, the restaurant affairs were handled by Gu Shan and Stallone, while the bar was Annie's home turf. As for housekeeping and other miscellaneous matters, those belonged to the more vague public domain.

In the last meeting, Xiao Lan said that this area should be clearly divided and dedicated people should be assigned to do housekeeping and chores.

"Generally speaking, during this three-month trial period, you will be directly under Berlani. Your main job will be to serve as a waiter in the bar area and to help deal with the room service issues of adventurers."

Listening to Annie's seemingly endless explanation, Taimi, who had just arrived, just nodded.

In case she couldn't process so much information at once, I interrupted and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take her with me."

Hearing this, Annie nodded in agreement and said to Taimi with a smile, "I heard that you seemed to have a lot of part-time jobs outside before, but the situation in our guild is completely different from that outside. No matter what you know or don't know, we will teach you from the beginning. Today you can learn the housekeeping chores from Berlane, and come to the bar area to help me another day."

After entrusting Taimi to me, Annie walked towards the locker room alone. The scene seemed deserted without her voice. I have never been good at speaking and did not want to make too many polite small talk. I just glanced at Taimi critically and taught her the first, most basic lesson of becoming the Stone House Matron.

"Only poor people would look down for gold coins."

Upon hearing my sudden reminder, Taimi wisely adjusted her posture, but she seemed to have not received any professional training in this regard. In my opinion, her posture was neither standard nor aesthetic. The reason why we are called poster girls instead of ordinary waiters is because we have higher value than actual service.

Taimi is unlucky. As my direct subordinate, she is destined to have a bad life.

"Your neck looks too long, your shoulders too stiff, and your hands don't need to be so tense. I won't eat you."

"I'm sorry! Senior Berlani!"

Looking at Taimi's respectful attitude, I recalled the fun of teaching Gushan etiquette while reaching out to correct Taimi's standing posture with a stern face. Probably because she had been working all the time, her butt was very plump, her waist looked thin, and Gushan's old uniform did not fit her well.

After correcting her standing posture, I took the opportunity to measure her measurements with Liangying and wrote them down with a pen.

"The waist is too wide and the chest is too tight. Make a new one."

"Oh, thank you, Senior Berlane."

"What size shoes do you wear?"

"Shoes?" Taimi looked down at her old and worn-out black leather shoes, her face flushed, and she said hurriedly, "I will definitely buy myself a pair of decent black shoes after get off work. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Senior Berlane."

To the new poster girl Taimi, our Stone House seems to be a very high-end environment, but in fact, a year ago, our Stone House was just a declining adventurer's guild. At that time, the material of my uniform was far less refined than it is now, and the black leather shoes on my feet were also tattered and not worthy of being in a formal setting.

Rich people will buy themselves a pair of good shoes.

Ninety-nine percent of the people who don't even bother to buy shoes are truly poor people who are short of money.

However, if we follow our latest standards, the price of shoes will definitely not be cheap.

"If you want to buy shoes, you can ask Miss Lan Nong. She should have second-hand shoes to sell to you."

"Eh! Okay, I understand, but who is Miss Lannon?"

Doesn't she know Xiao Lan? She's Lian Er's classmate.

In this day and age, not knowing Miss Lan Nong is more unusual than knowing Miss Lan Nong──

Maybe he's a kid who doesn't like gossip?

Seeing the puzzlement in Taimi's eyes, I smiled with satisfaction and explained, "You will gradually find out who she is. Before we go to find her, we have other things to do. Now, let's take a few steps towards that flower pot and see how it goes?"

"Eh, okay."

With a youthful sense of nervousness, Taimi only took two steps towards the flower pot.

“Two steps doesn’t mean just two steps.”

"Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's all my fault for being too nervous!"

"The sound is too loud."

"Yes...I'm sorry."

"Then please start over and do it again."

Like a soldier loyal to his commander, Taimi said "okay" and returned to the starting point, walking the same route again.

She was much more natural when she was moving than when she was just standing. Although she couldn't be called elegant and decent, she looked pretty good. Since I was only training her to be the hostess of the Stone House, not the lady of a noble family, I simply let her go in this test. When I said the word "qualified", she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Then, please follow me."

In the following time, I took Taimi to an empty room on the second floor to teach her housekeeping chores. Taimi was not stupid. As long as I demonstrated it once on the spot and let her practice it once, she almost mastered the key points. In terms of learning to do things, she had a considerable understanding as Gushan, but she was relatively calm and mature, and she was very good at talking.

By the time I had finished explaining all the procedures for cleaning the room, two hours had passed and it was seven o'clock in the evening, which was already past my original working hours and close to my and my sister Meng'er's usual dinner time. In order not to keep Xiaolan and the others waiting for too long, I made it short and quickly wrapped up for the newcomer Taimi.

"That's basically what housekeeping does. This is your dormitory key, and this is your work ID. The kitchen downstairs probably won't recognize you yet. Without your work ID, you may not be able to enjoy the guild's employee benefits. Well, today's training ends here, and you'll officially start work tomorrow. Goodbye."

After finishing off all the important items on the list in my mind, I wanted to leave the room. I knew that might give others a cold impression, but I really didn't want to spend too much of my personal time teaching new people. Besides, at this point in time, Taimi herself needed some time to rest and she also needed to eat.

"Um, Senior Berlane—"

However, when I was about to leave, Taimi suddenly called me.

I didn't turn around, I just turned my head and gave her a puzzled look.

Her eyes darted left and right for a while before she slowly spoke, "Well... I'm very grateful for your careful teaching today, Senior Berlane. And... I'm a rather rough person, you could say I'm uneducated. Anyway, if I've offended you in any way today, I hope Senior Berlane will forgive me..."

Is it my sharp tongue that sends the wrong message again?

I quickly reflected on my words and actions today, but still couldn't find the source of the problem. Looking at Taimi's timid attitude, I was confused and didn't know how to react.

Is she serious? Or is she just saying some workplace politeness? If I start talking at length, will it seem strange, or even make her think I'm acting like a senior?

After considering so many things, I just responded calmly: "It's just work, don't mind it."

22. Heaven (Taiwan)

(Taimi-Moni)

Fate is funny.

I vaguely remember that I was an illegitimate daughter of a noble. Most of my childhood memories were the sounds of my father and mother arguing, but those were insignificant memories. At least when I was five or six years old, some terrible people took me away from my mother and brought me to the city of Mopolis, and then to the orphanage here.

The orphanage wasn't a bad place, but it wasn't as comfortable as being self-sufficient.

So, I escaped from there a long time ago, getting rid of those tedious chores.

During these days of wandering, I slept in several places and worked in different places. My strength is that I am more energetic than others. I have no problem sleeping for five hours a day. But in order to balance study and work at the same time, I usually only have four hours of rest a day. If it were other ordinary people, they would have been exhausted long ago.

As the saying goes, after all the hardship comes happiness, it seems that my Thai girlfriend’s hard days are coming to an end.
