<h4>Chapter 330: Job Posting</h4>
Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After hearing Deng Jie’s statement, Snowy thought of an idea. She should go to the notorious dog market to host a live broadcast, revealing the dark corners there to numerous audience members, with the faint hope that she could help Deng Jie seekpensation. However, Snowy was also aware that it was fruitless if she went there all by herself, because she would probably be swindled too. She must go there with someone who had insight into the pet industry. And the only expert she was familiar with was Zhang Zian.
In fact, she and Zhang Zian had co-hosted a live broadcast before. Their encounter in the Hidden Fog Mountain Tea House could be considered an unofficial cooperation, so Snowy was confident that he would agree to her proposal this time.
The audience of Snowy’s live broadcast was also very interested in this topic. Many people had been defrauded in the dog market, yet seldom were people able to see through the tricks at the scene. If there was ever a live broadcast in the dog market, the audience would have the chance to understand how their schemes worked. Their only concern was that this perverted store manager was going to apany Snowy, but considering that Zhang Zian might be homosexual in sexual orientation, the audience didn’t really object the cooperation proposal anymore…
Zhang Zian was thrown into contemtion. He still couldn’t make up his mind.
Since his shop had finished refurbishing, his priority should lie in reopening the shop to make money. To his greater concern-stopping someone from making money was unforgivable as murdering his parents! To this day, everyone was minding their own business without interfering with each other-Zhang Zian was conducting his decent business, while the unscrupulous peddlers were engaging in all kinds of frauds. If he had to meddle with their businesses and turned their means of livelihood unviable, he was afraid that they would take desperate measures against him if they were pushed to the wall…
Among the numerous pet shops in Binhai City, there were plenty of pet experts who were way more experienced than Zhang Zian was, so howe no one ever bothered to interfere with the chaotic phenomena in the dog market? Because they knew better than to cause themselves troubles!
As a man, he didn’t care much about those dog peddlers. No matter how tough and difficult they might be, they would not be as intimidating as the Rainbow Fighters or Qing Ren. Besides, Old Time Tea was here, so if the dog peddlers ever dared to avenge him, it would beat their asses. However, Snowy was a girl who was always hosting live broadcasts in different ces by herself, and Zhang Zian worried that she might be the target of those who held grudges.
Seeing that Zhang Zian was silent, Snowy thought he was concerned about his potential mary loss, so she said, “Oh, right, Mr. Store Manager should not do this for free. Snowy will pay for yourmission!”
[Wings of Magical Eagle] tipped two hairy crabs andmented, “Here, donations. Snowy shouldn’t pay for us if we want to watch the live broadcast.”
[Sky is Like Water] tipped one hairy crab andmented, “The dog market is very dirty, here’s the money for Snowy’sundry.”
[Heaven 365] tipped three pieces of ham-and-nut mooncakes andmented, “Tight budget recently, just showing my support.”
[Lonely Illustrator] tipped one piece of ham-and-nut mooncake andmented, “Fight, Snowy!”
…
A lot of hairy crabs and ham-and-nut mooncakes were floating on the screen, but many die-hard fans of Snowy had noticed that usually the most active and generous audience member, [Binhai Native], wasn’t doing anything right now.
“Where is the legendary-Tuhao [Binhai Native] who likes disseminating money?”
“Don’t know,he’s probably offline right now.”
“No way. I don’t think he’s ever missed any live broadcast…”
“It happens. He might have run into something urgent.”
…
After contemting for a while, Zhang Zian figured he might be overthinking this. As long as he paid attention not to provoke the peddlers outright during the live broadcast, everything should be fine.
He nodded, “Okay, I agree. But I haven’t decided on the time yet. And we must keep a low-profile when we go there, all right?”
Snowy answered joyfully, “Great, I’m going to inform the auntie about this.”
Deng Jie was absentmindedly looking at the puppies in the disy cases and was struck by sadness. If only she didn’t make that wrong decision, one of these puppies would have been hers…
“Aunt Deng!” Snowy addressed her from behind.
Deng Jie was brought back to reality and turned around, “Yes? What’s going on?”
“Here’s the thing. Aunt Deng, after discussing with the store manager, to prevent people from falling into the traps, we are going to pay a visit to the dog market, are you interested in joining us? You can point out to us which stand you bought the sick puppy from.” Snowy inquired her opinion.
“Well…this is…” Deng Jie was rather surprised. Learning that they were whispering about her incident, she felt warm and couldn’t mutter a word. When she entered this shop, she just wanted to vent out her regret and figure out the true breed of her puppy; she had never expected that Zhang Zian would n a visit to the dog market for her.
“I’m so sorry for troubling you…” she repented on her own error.
“It’s okay. Don’t mind it. You’re not the only reason we want to go there.” Snowy smiled, “When will you be avable?”
Deng Jie thought about it, “I’m not sure right now…when will you be avable?”
Snowy pointed at herself and then to Zhang Zian, “We are both frencers, in other words, we are unemployed, so we are free to go at any time…how about this, inform us in advance when you are free?”
“Wait a second, I’m not unemployed!” Zhang Zian interrupted her, “I’m an individual business owner as certified by the country and an honorable taxpayer. I vote in every election!”
His words led to another wave of indignant condemnation among the audience members.
Deng Jie smiled and nodded, “Okay, please give me your contact information then.”
Snowy and Deng Jie exchanged their contact information.
Deng Jie felt much more relieved than earlier, thinking that her long-time trouble could be finally solved. Unwilling to upy any more of Zhang Zian’s and Snowy’s time, she said goodbye to them and left.
Seeing that it was gettingte, Snowy looked to the camera lens and said, “This is the end of today’s live broadcast. If you like Snowy’s live broadcast, please subscribe to my channel.”
The audience kept begging and requesting Snowy, reluctant to see the show end.
Zhang Zian seized the opportunity to chime in, “Though I’ve inserted advertisements before, can I also make a job posting?”
“What? Mr. Store Manager, are you nning to recruit new employees?” asked Snowy curiously.
“Yes, are you interested?” asked Zhang Zian in a joking manner.
“I can’t, I will screw up.” Snowy hastily waved her hands.
The audiences put forward their objections. No way could Snowy stay by this perverted Store Manager’s side, or else they couldn’t watch her live broadcasts anymore…
Zhang Zian cleared his throat and looked at the camera lens seriously, “My shop is recruiting a cashier and art designer. Females and males over 18 years old are wee to apply. There are no requirements of education level, and you can work as either a full-time or part-time employee. The qualified applicant should be adept in painting and know basicputer operation, pet enthusiasts are preferred. Once hired, the sry would be desirable. Three meals a day can be provided, but no amodation is avable, so it’s better if the applicants live around this neighborhood.”
He had expected that when his shop reopened, the business would be even better. But without a helper in his shop, Zhang Zian would have to stay in the shop the whole day and he would have no time to visit the dog market. As college students, Wang Qian and Li Kun didn’t have enough time tomit to his business. Though they were good at cleaning and running errands, if these two morons were cashiers…they would lose every penny he had saved! Most importantly, the perfect applicant must demonstrate certain abilities in art designing so that he/she could operate the public ount of his pet shop on WeChat, so it was difficult to find such an employee.
Though there were many pet lovers among the audiences, few of them would have interest in this position. Zhang Zian just wanted to seize this free opportunity to announce this posting – he didn’t expect he could actually find an applicant there. If it didn’t work, he might need to issue a job posting on a website essible to people around the city.
When Zhang Zian finished his words, Snowy turned the camera lens towards herself to say, “Mr. Store Manager has put forward very specific requirements, and if anyone is interested in this position, feel free to apply. You will have the chance to y with the puppies and kittens on a daily basis! Thank you for your support and your love! The next location of my live broadcast will be the dog market in Nancheng District, time is TBA. Please subscribe to my Weibo and WeChat public ounts for any updates!”
“See you next time!”
Finally, Snowy adorably bowed towards the audience and ended the live broadcast.
“Winter is better.” Snowy smiled to Zhang Zian, “In the summertime, my phone would be burning hot after broadcasting for such a long time, but it’s just lukewarm in winter.”
Zhang Zian smiled to agree with her. He told Wang Qian and Li Kun to clean up the shop, and after that, they could return to their dormitory. He then said to Snowy, “Let me show you out.”
When they were outside the shop, Zhang Zian asked her seriously, “Are you really nning to host a live broadcast in the dog market?”
“Yes. What’s the matter?” asked Snowy confusingly, blinking her eyes.
He was about to say something, but then he decided to hold it back. Maybe he was catastrophizing.
“Nothing, thanks for your statue. Take care.”
“See you. Bye!” Snowy stretched out her hand, stopped a taxi, and left the pet shop.
Just when Zhang Zian was about to return his shop to check on the Cat Goddess statue, another taxi had parked in front of the entrance.
“Here you are.” He nodded to Guo Dongyue who was getting out from the taxi.
