Start with the script killing shop

"This is a bit difficult." Jiang Qi said tactfully.

As a poor man who was selected by the game system and whose bank account balance did not reach five figures, Jiang Qi said that the rent in a high-end community was too expensive and he could not afford it.

Old John didn't react at all, just nodded.

The bowl of noodles is empty.

"Do you have any other needs?" Jiang Qi asked.

"I need a job." Old John glanced at Jiang Qi's empty bowl, "Do you have to finish the soup together with this kind of noodles?"

"...That's not necessary."

Old John didn't drink the soup and sat quietly on the chair.

Jiang Qi had never thought of summoning a living person in need of food and drink from a summoning card. Jiang Qi first calculated his savings, then secretly glanced at Old John's card details, and made a decision in his heart.

"I will take you to buy some changes of clothes later. You will stay at my house for the next few days. Your mobile phone..."

"I have it." Old John took out his mobile phone from his pocket. Not only did he have a mobile phone but also a wallet, which contained a British ID card, a transportation card and a few pounds.

I just don’t know if this ID card can be used.

Jiang Qi took Old John's cell phone and looked at it. It was a very old-fashioned blue screen brick machine. Jiang Qi had not seen this style of cell phone since he was in junior high school. Still working, Jiang Qi used Old John's brick machine to try to make a call to himself, and found that it actually contained a domestic phone card.

I didn't expect that this card system is quite user-friendly, and mobile phone cards are just like the Romans.

Not having to buy a mobile phone saved a lot of money. Jiang Qi returned the mobile phone to Old John and continued: "I am currently the acting store manager of a script-killing store. You will be a store clerk for the time being and will be mainly responsible for the sanitation of the store. Do you need anything?" Just tell me directly, although it may not be possible."

For example, living in a wealthy neighborhood.

Jiang Qi is now more confused about where Old John will live in the future.

His home is a large apartment with four bedrooms and two living rooms. He, Jiang Bing and his parents each have one room, and one is a guest room. Now that Jiang Bing has run away to escape reality, he will definitely not be able to come back in a short time. Jiang Qi's parents do business abroad all year round and usually only come back during the Chinese New Year. Logically speaking, there is no problem for Old John to stay for a few months.

The problem now is that Jiang Qi's sister-in-law and uncle will come to Jiang Qi's door every now and then to deliver food to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi has many relatives, including three uncles and two uncles and an aunt in the family. Because Jiang Qi's grandparents died young, Jiang Qi's father Jiang Xiaoliang, second uncle Jiang Xiaoguang and sister-in-law Jiang Xiaohong were all raised by his uncle Jiang Xiaokang.

The eldest brother is like his father. Jiang Xiaokang was both father and mother, raising his younger brothers and sisters. When he was young, he had no money to get married in order to raise his younger brothers and sisters. He didn't marry his wife until he was in his thirties. As a result, his only daughter, Jiang Wanwan, was even younger than Jiang Qi. One year old. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Qi's uncles and aunts have an extremely close relationship. Whenever they need to get together during the holidays in a city, they go to Jiang Xiaokang's house for New Year's Eve dinner every New Year.

Jiang Qi's biological father, Jiang Xiaoliang, is a rare educated person among his peers in the Jiang family. Compared with his eldest uncle, Jiang Xiaokang, he only knew a few words after attending elementary school for one year. His second uncle, Jiang Xiaoguang, graduated from elementary school and then went south to work for two years. His sister-in-law, Jiang Xiaohong, graduated from junior high school. He worked as an apprentice and was assigned to a lumber factory after graduating from technical secondary school. Jiang Xiaoliang is undoubtedly a literary star.

It's just that this literary star's road to the world was a bit bumpy.

Jiang Qi's biological mother, Qiao Huifang, was an accountant at a lumber factory and also graduated from a technical secondary school. She met and married Jiang Xiaoliang in person, and they were considered a model couple that everyone admired.

Then the lumber mill closed down and the couple was laid off. At that time, Qiao Huifang was still pregnant with Jiang Bing. When the couple was at their poorest, they had to go to the eldest brother's house to borrow rice, the second brother's house to borrow bowls, and her father-in-law's house to borrow briquettes to survive.

It is said that when Jiang Bing was born, his family was so poor that they could not even make a jingle. When Jiang Bing was a child, he had no milk powder and could only drink rice cereal. Seeing his wife and children living like this, Jiang Xiaoliang gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. He found a relationship with his ex-colleague and went to Nanyang to do timber business with his ex-colleague.

At first, Jiang Xiaoliang worked for his boss. Later, he saved some money and started working on his own. He made a lot of money. Although he did not become big and powerful and became a rich man, he could still be called a small rich man. When Jiang Qi was ten years old, Jiang Xiaoliang wanted to bet on turning a big bicycle into a motorcycle. As a result, he lost the bet and almost went bankrupt. If his brother and sister hadn't donated their money to help Jiang Xiaoliang, he would have reached the top that year.

From then on, Jiang Xiaoliang realized that he was honestly doing his own small business to make hard money. When Qiao Huifang saw that her two children were older, she went into business with Jiang Xiaoliang. Although Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing's parents have not been around since they were young, they have not been treated badly.

Jiang Xiaokang transferred the love he had shown to his younger brother over the years to his nephews and nieces. Jiang Xiaohong had admired the well-educated younger brother since she was a child and cared most about Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing. Because Jiang Xiaoguang works in the coastal areas all year round, like Jiang Xiaoliang, he only comes back during the Chinese New Year, so he always pays special attention to the younger generations in the family, and will buy anything new and send it back. In addition, Cao Yongjun, the neighbor above Jiang Qi's house, is an old colleague of Jiang Xiaoliang and his wife, so he naturally takes good care of the two siblings.

At their peak, the siblings ate five meals a day and were always considered by their elders as having no food and were dragged home to eat.

Jiang Xiaoliang had the foresight and saw through early on that house prices would definitely rise. Not only did he buy a house early, he also persuaded his brother and sister to lend them money to buy a house together. Because of this, the families lived very close to each other.

Even if Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing are older now, their sister-in-law and uncle will habitually bring over a portion of the good food they have cooked.

So now the question is, if Old John lives at home, how should he explain it to his relatives?

If he rented a single room for Old John alone, Jiang Qi was worried that his poor wallet would not be able to bear it.

Jiang Qi was confused.

Old John may have noticed Jiang Qi's confusion and said, "I can live anywhere."

"It's okay to sleep on the street."

Jiang Qi:......

That's not necessary...

He summoned people from cards to work in vain for him, but as a result, he didn't even have a place to live for an old man in his 150s or 60s to sleep on the street.

What would happen to him if he did this? Wouldn't he become a black-hearted capitalist like Jiang Bing who is bent on squeezing his employees?

"Let's stay at my house first."

It's really not possible to find a cheap single room to rent in the community. Let's talk about the price, which is 300 to 400 yuan a month, which is affordable in a short period of time.

If money is given for all subsequent missions in the game, it is not impossible to support a large living person.

The community where Jiang Qi's family is located has a certain age. There is no bustling business district around it, and all the facilities are relatively old. There is only one elementary school nearby, and the rent has always been very cheap.

After making the plan, Jiang Qi got up and took Old John to the store to see his future working environment. The upper and lower floors of the store are nearly 400 square meters in total. If you want to clean it carefully, it will be a lot of work.

Jiang Qi led Old John to the store, but Liu Lan was still the only one in the store.

Seeing Jiang Qi coming, Liu Lan wanted to ask him what he was doing when he suddenly ran out, but was stunned when he saw Old John behind Jiang Qi.

"Is this... the guest here to play?" Liu Lan asked uncertainly, "Hello?"

Jiang Qi pretended to be stupid: "He came to our store to apply for a cleaning job. His name is John. He speaks Chinese very well."

"She is Liu Lan, and she is also a clerk in our store." Jiang Qi introduced Liu Lan to Old John.

Old John nodded towards Liu Lan.

Liu Lan:?

Is the store rich enough to hire a full-time cleaning staff?

But why a foreigner?

Just when Liu Lan was full of doubts, Old John had already found cleaning tools and started cleaning the store, proving his profession and professionalism by himself.

"He is a foreign teacher in my university. He has just resigned and is engaged in art. He was the instructor of the drama club before. I was in the drama club at university, so I am familiar with him. He speaks Chinese very well and likes to clean and find inspiration. He recently came to our city to collect news. , I just applied for a job as a cleaner." Jiang Qi had already thought of the lie on the way back to the store.

"Very professional, he's been finding inspiration this way for decades."

Liu Lan, who is also an art major, was greatly shocked.

Before Liu Lan could react, Jiang Qi quickly changed the subject: "I remember you said before that there will be a carload of guests who have made an appointment for the "Mask Club" tonight next Monday."

"Yes." Liu Lan nodded.

"I've read almost all of Little John's books, and I've also read a little bit of the host's manual. I'll probably finish reading all of them today. You said before that you wanted me to perform the show, what should I do?"

"Oh, just play what's on the memory card." When it came to business, Liu Lan had no time to think about how a university teacher could have such a strange hobby as cleaning.

"If you open the deductive version, all those memory cards do not need to be issued to the players. Just like John's six cards, except for the last one, which is the biggest and the one where he learned about the death of old John, the others can be changed to deductive effects. will be better."

"That's right." Jiang Qi fell into deep thought. Now that the real Old John has been summoned by him, it would be a waste of resources not to let Old John play his true role.

"It's like this. Mr. John has been having trouble finding inspiration recently. He has been sweeping the streets for several months to no avail. When he was in our drama club, he liked to play roles to help him find inspiration. He will come to our store to apply for a cleaning job. I also heard that he can act in a script-killing shop. Isn’t the role of Old John very suitable for him? He is a foreigner and his age is very suitable. How about I discuss with him and let him try playing Old John, which will also help him find inspiration."

Liu Lan followed Jiang Qi's words and looked at Old John. His eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked, and he said excitedly: "It's true!"

"Jiang Qi, I think what you said is very suitable."

Liu Lan stared at Old John with bright eyes: "If this can be performed, the player who takes John's book will cry to death. God, this is so enjoyable just thinking about it."

Jiang Qi:?

What's your bad taste?
