Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 5 Applying for a Security Guard Job

Good heavens! What kind of suffering am I enduring?! There's absolutely no chance for me to catch my breath.

Before dawn, we already had to think about where to stay the next day.

Never mind, I'm going to sleep.

In the blink of an eye, I stood up and snapped my fingers. I quickly washed up and got dressed. Luckily, my precious hairpin was still there, otherwise I would have had nothing to wear! The little girl didn't have many clothes in her wardrobe. Imagine someone struggling to make a living; just having enough to eat and wear is enough for them. How could they bear to spend money on clothes?

But with me, Huan Yuechu, around, you won't be afraid of not having clothes to wear. You can have whatever you want, it's just... it's just that I'm waiting to make money!

We've gotten off topic! I'm going job hunting today, so I'll dress casually. I don't understand clerical jobs, and I vaguely remember the girl studying economics, which I understand even less! I inherited memories, not a brain.

With enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle. Aren't I, Huan Yuechu, a perfect example? Let's not dwell on my past failures!

Having been reborn for so long, I still don't know what I look like! Since that drunkard Li likes to drink with pretty waitresses, even if I'm not a beauty that could shame the moon and shame the flowers, I should at least be a delicate and pretty girl. I'll know once I get a mirror!

Where should I look for a job? Maybe I should just wander around and look for one.

Shopping during the day isn't as crowded as at night. They are hiring sales staff and waitresses, requiring both education and experience. But with my poor communication skills and cold demeanor, who would dare hire me?

I was captivated by the prosperity, but money is easy to spend but hard to earn. It would be better to become a fairy herb, at least I don't need to eat, I only need to cultivate. Sure enough, I still have to cultivate to become an immortal.

I found a shady chair and sat down, thinking about what I could do.

Suddenly, on the job posting wall, I saw a job advertisement for the Huashi Hotel. It advertised for a temporary security guard, with a daily wage of 150 yuan and two meals provided.

Wow! This is perfect for me! It's like a job made for me. I quickly found a secluded corner to stand in and went straight there.

At the entrance of the Huashi Hotel, a long queue stretched as far as the eye could see, yet the people lined up in an orderly fashion, each one strong, energetic, and dressed in a suit and tie, waiting for their interview.

At the back of the line was a name registration form. I went over and signed my name. Since I was the only girl there, everyone was staring at me intently. I calmly walked over and stood behind the thin, bespectacled man.

I'm a little confused. It's just hiring a security guard, why all this fuss?

Yu Tan saw me standing behind him and stared at me with a puzzled look. He said, "Little girl, aren't you standing in the wrong line? That's where they're hiring waiters."

This guy even gave me directions; he was really nice! I remained aloof and said, "I'm here to apply for a security guard position. There's no explicit rule saying we don't hire women."

The older brother scratched his head, speechless, unsure of what to say.

Standing in front of the Jade Pool, Wang Qiang looked down on her and scoffed, "You're a woman, aren't you here to cause trouble? Instead of staying home to teach your husband and take care of your children, you come here to mess around. With your physique, I could knock you down with one punch."

Wang Qiang has a fierce and menacing appearance, and what is particularly striking is a ten-centimeter-long scar on his left cheek. Most people might be afraid of him.

I'm a thousand-year-old immortal herb, do you think you can scare me? "Are you discriminating against women? And do you live by the sea? Why are you meddling in my affairs?" You couldn't even withstand a slap.

Enraged, Wang Qiang shoved Yu Tan aside and reached out to grab my collar, but Yu Tan and other onlookers pulled him back. He continued to threaten, "You...you, you just wait, I'm not Wang Qiang if I don't teach you a lesson."

I crossed my arms, my pupils narrowed slightly, and my face turned cold as I said, "Who gave you the audacity to bully the weak like this? Who do you think you are? Besides your big frame, do you even have a brain?"

Wang Qiang was trying his best to break free from his restraints when suddenly, Xin Yuran, the head of the personnel department, shouted, "What are you doing? What are you doing behind me? Do you think this is a vegetable market? Don't you know where you are? If you fight again, get back inside!"

The crowd that had tried to mediate immediately lined up again. Even Wang Qiang's arrogant and domineering attitude had to be subdued. This Huashi Hotel was backed by powerful forces; it was no ordinary place!

Wang Qiang stared at me fiercely and mumbled, "You just wait."

I quickly wrote down the names of the people who had just helped me. Regardless of their motives, they had done me a favor, and I would show them mercy when I encountered them later.

I patted the shoulder in front of me and said, "Brother Yutan, thank you for helping me just now."

He turned his head and glanced at Wang Qiang before whispering, "You're welcome. I just can't stand Wang Qiang bullying girls. But you'd better not mess with him; he's extremely fierce and brutal in fights."

Taking this opportunity to gather some information, he asked, "Okay, Brother Yutan, why are so many people coming for the interview? It's just hiring a security guard, right?"

Brother Yutan stared at me blankly, wondering if I had escaped from some mental hospital! The thought vanished in an instant.

Seeing my blank stare, he explained gently, "Because the security guards we hired are to protect the young master of the Hua family, they are different from ordinary security guards. The key is that the young master is particularly fond of causing trouble, and ordinary people simply cannot control him."

Look, every single one of the interviewees is muscular and has a menacing look on their face.

“Indeed, Brother Yutan, your physique isn’t quite up to par! What brings you here?” I said, looking him up and down.

Yu Tan adjusted his eye sockets, his face embarrassed, but then his eyes turned deep and firm as he said, "I'm just doing this to make a living. Don't underestimate me just because it's only 150 yuan a day. If I do well, I get a million yuan bonus. If I'm lucky enough to be chosen, my son will have a better chance of survival!"

I noticed his eyes were red-rimmed, and he raised his hand to hide his vulnerability. I asked curiously, "Brother Yutan, what happened to your son?"

"It's nothing serious, she's just sick!"

I noticed he seemed reluctant to talk about it, so I didn't ask any further. After all, everyone has their own secrets.

In a daze, I realized that only Wang Qiang and Yu Tan were left in front of me. I had no idea what the interview was about. Some of the interviewees came out after a few minutes, while others looked frightened and left the place in a panic.

Strangely, despite the large number of people queuing, very few actually manage to get out.

Xin Yuran, dressed in a business suit, walked up to Wang Qiang, opened a folder, and said seriously, "Those whose names are called later, stand in front of me. Wang Qiang, Yu Tan, Huan Yuechu, Xu Yan... all ten of you, come with me."

After passing through the hotel lobby, the only sound in the corridor was the "thump-thump-thump" of high heels. In the blink of an eye, I stopped at a door.

Xin Yuran turned to look at us, her expression numb as she took out ten agreements from the folder. Holding up the agreements in her hand, she explained, “Before you go in, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement and a waiver. I cannot guarantee that everyone who goes in will come out safely. But as long as you go in and come out safely, you will receive 100,000 yuan. If you do not come out safely or are disabled, our company will pay compensation. Also, this matter cannot be told to anyone, otherwise you will have to pay a high penalty for breach of contract.”

You can think it over carefully. If you decide to go, come here to sign the agreement. If you're scared, please leave.
