I will never give in to Miss Death

At this moment, the Tongmeng account that I had just registered with Yin Xiamo emerged in my mind: Xiao Xia Nuo Doesn’t Hide from Cardboard Boxes.

"If you want to increase your fans, you can also use your mobile phone to start a live broadcast or ask others to mention your ID during the live broadcast to attract traffic."

Ouyang Xue explained: "I just applied for the official account of Beijing Cat Cafe this morning. I will prepare it in the next few days. We will also do a live broadcast of the cafe maids."

Wow, store manager, you really are worthy of being a virtual idol and a marketer. You never miss any opportunity to attract traffic.

"Well, I'll consider it."

I took a deep breath and said, “I just opened this account not long ago, so I don’t have many followers.”

"In principle, we do not prohibit maids from wearing live broadcast equipment and broadcasting in their own name while working. We also do not claim the copyright of the maid outfit you are wearing. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ouyang Xue said in an inducing tone: "If you can open a live broadcast room or write some soft articles and match your own maid outfit to monetize the traffic, we will not care about these."

Does that mean I can... work three jobs? No, four jobs?

My main job is to be a maid in a coffee shop. My first part-time job is to wear live broadcast equipment while working as a maid, and receive tips and small gifts, subscriptions, and captains from the audience. My second part-time job is to shoot videos myself, such as short videos of raising cats or petting cats in coffee shops, or some random chats, and earn income by the number of views. My third part-time job is to write online novels after returning home...

Why didn't I think of that!

When I first started live streaming, there might not be many viewers, but it was still a source of income. For me, it was just a matter of wearing an extra live streaming device. As for posting short videos later, it was even easier. I could just use my phone to record a few seconds of footage, taking pictures of cats, myself, or the scenery around the coffee shop, and then I could go back and edit it a little bit with some editing software.

I have seen similar examples before. For example, food delivery riders also work two jobs. They deliver food during the day and wear a video recording device on their heads. This can be used as video evidence when disputes arise. When they return home at night, they can edit the videos they shot that day and post them online. If many people watch them, they can also get paid.

If it is a controversial video, for example, you encounter an unreasonable customer who asks you to deliver the product even though he cannot write down the address clearly, and then he throws a tantrum and complains and calls the police, then the number of views of the video on that day will be very high.

"understood."

Under Ouyang Xue's "hint", I understood her subconscious meaning and quickly said, "I'll pack up and come over in a while."

"Okay, there might be a lot of people tonight, so be prepared."

"Ok!"

Putting down the phone, I turned to Yin Xiamo and said, "I may not have time to make dinner tonight."

"Eh?"

The girl was puzzled: "Is there a lot going on at the coffee shop?"

"There's a news anchor planning to interview us."

I nodded. "I'll wash my face and change my clothes and go over now, or you can come with me. The cafe will provide free dinner when it's time for dinner."

"That's not good?"

Yin Xiamo hesitated: "I am not your employee yet."

"I usually can't finish my portion, and Manager Ouyang Xue isn't the type to haggle. There's always a lot of leftover food in the kitchen every day, so it's no problem for you to eat all three."

In order to prevent the girl from remembering that I had just “secretly” opened her phone, I quickly stood up and said, “Let’s go. I’ll go change my clothes and you can get ready. Or you can go to the store and help comb the cat’s hair. I don’t believe that the store manager won’t even give you a meal.”

"Oh……"

As expected, Yin Xiamo didn't mention the "memo" on the phone again and followed me out of the room.

We went to the bathroom together, washed our faces with skin care products and applied some sunscreen. I changed into my usual clothes, tied my hair up, put my maid outfit and various daily necessities into the rabbit backpack, and went out with Yin Xiamo.

On the way, the girl next to me quietly grabbed my wrist and interlocked our fingers.

"After I quit my job at the store tomorrow, we can work together like this every day, right?"

It can be seen that Yin Xiamo is in a good mood. When she held my hand and walked with me, she even took the "Annie step": "Work hard with Nuoer, and then make a lot of money, buy a house that Nuoer likes, a small harbor for life..."

I could tell something was wrong: "How did you know I wanted to buy...a little haven for life?"

Yin Xiamo's hand holding mine froze.

"You even peeked at my notebook?!"

"Uh... reading client notes doesn't count as peeking, but reading... the Grim Reaper's stuff, does that count as stealing?"

Yin Xiamo quickly explained: "It's not a big secret anyway, right? Who doesn't like a super big house?"

What you said...seems to be right.

"So we can save money together and buy a house together, so we can buy it sooner."

On the street, Yin Xiamo came over and said, "If you buy a house in the future, can I make a request?"

I subconsciously asked, "What request?"

"That is... when renovating, we only need to renovate a large bedroom for living."

In the bright sunshine, the eyes of the girl beside me sparkled.

"Just buy a double bed, and then we can sleep together like we did today at noon, what do you think?"

"..."

……

No. 105 Let me just say a few words

Maybe it’s because the weather is hot today, there are a lot more people coming to the coffee shop to eat in the evening than yesterday.

After all, on the mobile phone map, there is only one place around that can theoretically be a place to "escape the heat", the "Shangjing Cat Cafe". Other shops are either milk tea shops in the commercial street or buffet restaurants or something like that. The word "coffee shop" gives people the feeling that it has air conditioning, spacious rooms, and is suitable for free Wi-Fi.

When I was about to go to the coffee shop, I called the "outdoor anchor" back and told him that I was on the way.

"Okay, I'm playing on the beach near Minami Nagita here, I'll be back now."

"You should change into the maid outfit first. That outfit really suits you."

When the young man answered the phone, there was an obvious sound of wind coming from his side, accompanied by the sound of rushing waves.

Minami Nagita...

When I heard this word, I was reminded of the legend of "The Old Man and the Sea" in Minami Nagi Bay.

A...very poignant love story.

When I put down my phone, I glanced at Yin Xiamo beside me and found that the girl was also looking at me curiously.

"What...what happened?"

Maybe the look in my eyes was a little different from usual, her eyes flickered: "Why are you so gentle all of a sudden..."

"Gentle?"

I tilted my head, "I was just wondering... if the hero is reincarnated with his memories, would you still be the cold-blooded Grim Reaper on the day we first met?"

"However, there is no if, and it is impossible to reincarnate with memories."

Yin Xiamo replied without thinking: "Nuo'er can only be the one I eat."

“How unfair!”

I frowned: "Why are you the only one who remembers the past, but I know nothing..."

At present, all my understanding of the other world and Yin Xiamo, as well as the memories of the so-called "previous life", all come from the dreams of the past few days.

But the problem is that dreams are very messy and unreal. Not to mention that you will forget a large part of the content after waking up. Even if you remember all the content in the dream, it will be just countless discontinuous scenes that cannot form any effective information.

What makes me most uncomfortable is that even if I dream... the order of time in the dream is different. Maybe yesterday I dreamed that I "died" as a hero, and the next day I dreamed of meeting the little devil. The chaotic timeline and the chaotic fragmented scenes make it difficult for me to combine the dreams as a whole, and naturally I cannot obtain the entire "hero memory" through the dream.

"It's better not to remember. Sometimes I wish I could forget about you, this unfaithful man."

Hearing what I said, Yin Xiamo turned around and pinched my cheek in front of the huge mushroom house at the entrance of the commercial street: "So such a cute little Lolita is your best destination, little Lolita... Little Lolita is born to be eaten by her mother!"

I was choked so hard that I couldn’t speak clearly: “So… woo woo, I told you… well, pinching the face is a forbidden… thing…”

"Resistance... resistance is useless, hahahaha..."

"If your laughter were put into an online novel, it would at least be at the level of a Soul Palace guardian..."

"..."

After playing around at the door of the mushroom house for a while, I took Yin Xiamo and pushed open the door and walked into the big house with comfortable air conditioning.

"Meow--"

Timon, who had been lying at the door like a door god, came over immediately and rubbed his little head against my calves, making a "gurgling" sound.

At the same time, several cats that had become familiar with me in the past two days also ran out from the cat living area not far away, meowing and walking briskly.

Even a few rural cats on the second floor sensed my presence and rushed down.

"and many more!"

I was so scared that I quickly picked up Ding Man, who weighed more than 30 kilograms, and ran towards the cat living area: "If you keep running like this, there will be cat hair all over the floor again... Come here, this way!"

Before I got a cat, I really didn't know that these little guys shed so much hair. They are even more terrifying than sheep.

Although sheep have a lot of hair, they don't shed easily on the farm, and you may not be able to pluck it out. But cats are different. If you comb your hair in the morning, they will shed hair in the afternoon. If you comb your hair in the evening, they will shed hair during the day. Especially large long-haired cats, such as Maine Coons and Ragdoll Cats, they run with the "Phantom Wind" special effect, and their hair falls wherever they go.

It can be said that - "It is like sprinkling salt in the air, but not as good as willow catkins rising in the wind"

It would be fine if they just shed some cotton-like hair while running, but cats are naturally curious creatures. They will crawl into a hole when they see one and chase after any interesting toy. A ball of hair will appear if they rub against the corner of a table or under a customer's table. At the end of the day, the store will spend dozens of dollars on the hair removers provided free of charge to customers, and the garbage containing the hair removers will be thrown away in large bags.

"See, I told you that you have the cat girl gene in you."

Seeing me carrying the Maine Coon cat to the cat living area, Yin Xiamo next to me looked like she was enjoying a good show: "Maybe all the cats in the cafe think you are the boss now."

"I don't want to be the boss..."

I smiled bitterly and took a pair of large gloves from the shelf that were specially used for plucking cat hair, put them on, and grabbed a cat and started petting it wildly.

“Swish, swish, swish—”

This type of glove has plastic protrusions that can pull out scattered cat hair. Plus, it is made of gelatin material, so every time you pet a cat, you can pull out a lot of hair from their bodies. After rubbing it a few times, a thick layer of hair will stick to the surface of the glove.

"There are only a few cats now. When the next 80 arrive... I suspect the cat hair I pluck in a day will be enough to make a pillow."

I grabbed Ding Man, who was closest to me, and gave him a full body massage. I took off the thick layer of cat hair on my gloves and put them into a bag for temporary storage of cat hair. Then I handed the gloves to Yin Xiamo beside me: "Here, I'll leave these cats to you this afternoon."

"You came so early today?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the store manager Ouyang Xue appeared behind me. However, Ouyang Xue looked a little unhappy today. She yawned loudly and said, "I was just mixing coffee on the second floor. When I saw a bunch of cats running downstairs, I knew you were here."

"I don't know why they stick to me so much..."

I was a little embarrassed: "What is the specific arrangement of the outdoor anchor?"

Cats are truly amazing creatures sometimes.

Theoretically, "smell" cannot spread very fast even in the presence of wind, and the coffee shop has its own air-conditioning, and the overall environment is sealed, so there are all kinds of smells inside. You might say that cats recognize people by smell... Every time I haven't even reached the door of the Mushroom House, the cats on the second floor of the coffee shop know that I'm coming, and will run out to greet me in advance.

I don't think my scent is strong enough to penetrate multiple walls and tell my cat in advance.

Some marketing accounts once said that cats can identify targets based on their paw pads. The vibrations generated when we walk are different on the pads of a cat's paws. When an acquaintance walks nearby, the cat can identify who this person is just by the vibration - I don't know if it's true.

"No plans, maybe just come to our restaurant for dinner, talk to you, interact with the cats, etc."

Ouyang Xue coughed a few times and said, "Don't bother with him. Serve the customers first."

"What happened to Sister Ouyang?"

Seeing that the other person was obviously feeling unwell, I quickly asked, "Do you have a cold?"

"Maybe I was moving things at noon. It was very hot outside and the air conditioner was on inside. The alternation between hot and cold made me catch a cold."

Ouyang Xue looked nonchalant: "It's okay, I'll rest when I'm tired."

"Is it really okay?"

"It's really okay. You can change your clothes first. I'll talk to her about the labor arbitration tomorrow."

Ouyang Xue turned to Yin Xiamo and said, "The lawyers who will help you with labor arbitration are ready. They will go to your workplace tomorrow at noon. If we can negotiate a private settlement, that would be the best... ahem. If not, we will go through labor arbitration."

Yin Xiamo looked confused: "Does that mean that hiring me before was illegal?"

"Of course it's illegal. Not to mention the rest days and social security issues, the fact that he didn't sign the contract is enough to get him into trouble. Labor arbitration may take a long time. Our opinion is to try to settle it privately. If we do, they may not pay that much, probably around 20,000 or 30,000 yuan."

"How can you compensate so much?"

"Well, you've worked there for so long, and you don't have a labor contract. This is fatal..."

Seeing that the two of them started to discuss the issues of labor compensation and job hopping, I finally combed Ding Man a few times with a small comb, took the lint remover to simply clean the cat hair on his body, and carried my small bag to go upstairs.

Compared to the previous two days, the second floor of the coffee shop is now open. Just as I imagined, it specializes in selling milk tea, coffee, and other desserts and drinks, and there are quite a few customers sitting there.

But most people seem to be here to pet cats...
