Chapter 664 Pawnshop 1
Chapter 664 Pawnshop 1
The place where Zhang Xintong was standing looked like the previous world in the 80s. The house had only one floor and was very simple.
"Xiao 9, is there anyone else in the store?"
"Yes, there are four people in total, three women and one man. Pawnshop No. 4 is open 9 hours a day. Each person works 24 hours a day. Three people work and one person takes turns to rest."
"Who are they?"
"They are the shop keepers who sell their bodies and souls. They are all your subordinates. They are the ones who watch over you when you are not in the shop."
"Selling body and soul?"
"Yes, that's what it means literally. They sell their bodies and souls to Pawnshop No. 9 in exchange for what they want, and they stay to work at Pawnshop No. 9."
"How long will these four shop assistants work in the store?"
"The three female shopkeepers have contracts of 3, 122, and 247 years remaining, respectively. Their names are Decision, Counterattack, and New Life, given by the original owner. The other man is Mo Fang, his original name. He has 298 years remaining on his contract and will be leaving at the same time as you."
"Are these four people watching over the store human?"
"Yes"
"Won't they get old then?"
"No, in Pawnshop No. 9, one can maintain the state in which they entered the shop. It's like freezing time for both face and body, allowing one to remain forever young. That's why shopkeepers rarely leave Pawnshop No. 9 unless there's something important going on."
"what about me?"
"You can leave at will. I told you that your body is provided by the system. For the needs of work, your body can change freely according to your wishes."
"Xiao 9, do you mean I still need to go out to work?"
"Yes, if the pawnbroker needs to go out to exchange the items, then you have to go out to work. However, if you don't want to go out, you don't have to trade with the pawnbroker. As I said before, Pawnshop No. 9 accepts whatever you want and how you trade. There are no hard and fast requirements."
“How many hours do I work every day?”
"Your body doesn't need sleep. How long you want to work depends on your mood. There is no fixed requirement."
"okay, got it."
Walking into Pawnshop No. 9, there were two tables on the right and a counter on the left. A woman in her twenties was sitting inside. Zhang Xintong walked over.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Xintong, the new person in charge."
The woman at the counter was wearing a suit and looked very capable.
"Hello, I'm the store keeper, firing back. The other three store keepers are resting in the back. Do you want me to go call them?"
Zhang Xintong shook her head
"No, I'll walk by myself."
There was a door on one side of the counter, which Zhang Xintong opened.
"Master, please come in!"
Zhang Xintong walked in. The back was very large, with six rooms on the left, each with a name on it. The first door had Qin Qing written on it, which was the room of the person in charge before. Next were Decision, Counterattack, New Life, Mo Fang, and the last one was Zhang Xintong.
On the right is a large warehouse where the pawnbrokers keep their pawned items. This is a different world, not the back of a real shop, but another dimension.
Zhang Xintong walked around and entered her room. The room looked very small from the outside, but it was very large inside. There was everything in it, including food, drinks, daily necessities and toys.
Zhang Xintong guessed that Mo Fang was him, but their rooms were next to each other but she didn't feel any soul fluctuations. She wondered if it was because of the special space?
Zhang Xintong came out of her room and knocked on Mo Fang's door. At first, no one opened the door. Later, as she knocked on the door again and again, a boy in his twenties with messy hair and sleepy eyes opened the door.
Zhang Xintong looks like she is in her 30s. As the owner of Pawnshop No. 9, it would not be appropriate for her to be younger, so she did not look that young.
Soul fluctuations came, Zhang Xintong looked at the young boy with a childish face, and she felt older. However, Huiji had already seen her, and it was not easy to change her appearance in Pawn Shop No. 9. In this world, she could only reluctantly eat tender grass!
Mo Fang worked the night shift last night and was woken up by a knock on the door shortly after falling asleep. He was in a bad mood and looked at the woman in front of him, but he didn't recognize her.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Xintong feels that Mo Fang is a bit naive.
"Xiao 9, how long has Mo Fang been coming to Pawnshop No. 9?"
"Tongtong, only one week earlier than you."
"What did he trade?"
"He used a 100-year contract to buy his mother a chance to start over."
"Again? What the hell happened?"
"His father is a domestic abuser. He asked his mother to go back to the past with her memories and live a new life."
"If his mother isn't with his father, how can he still exist?"
"From the moment he signed the contract with Pawn Shop No. 9, he no longer belonged to this world, so it has no impact."
Zhang Xintong looked at the sleepy Mo Fang and stretched out her hand.
"I'm the new person in charge, Zhang Xintong. Nice to meet you."
When Mo Fang heard who was in charge, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhang Xintong.
After harassing Mo Fang, Zhang Xintong turned and left.
"Go back to sleep! I'm leaving!"
Mo Fang looked puzzled, closed the door and went back to his room to continue sleeping.
Zhang Xintong went back to the front and fought back while still sitting at the counter. There was no customer in the store.
"Fight back, when does the store usually have customers?"
Fight back and get a stool for Zhang Xintong
“There’s no fixed time, and there are only a few customers in a month.”
Zhang Xintong has been working at Pawnshop No. 9 for half a month and has already figured out the basic situation of the four shop keepers and the shop.
The first person to come to the shop was Jue Ze, who was 18 years old when he arrived and had been there for 178 years. The second person to come was Hui Ji, who was 24 years old when he arrived and had been there for 53 years. The third person to come was Xin Sheng, who was 36 years old when he arrived and had been there for two years. The fourth person to come was Mo Fang, who was 20 years old when he arrived and had arrived a week earlier than Zhang Xintong.
The four people in the store only come into contact with each other when they change shifts. The rest of the time, everyone stays in their own room, rarely comes into contact with each other, and doesn't talk much.
Zhang Xintong doesn't need to sleep, so she has contact with all four of them and is more familiar with them than with each other.
In the past two weeks, the store has had two customers: a poor man who exchanged 10 years of his life for 10 yuan and left happily with the money; a wealthy man who spent 1000 million yuan to buy 10 years of his life and left happily.
Although only two guests were received in half a month, the net profit was 990 million, which was definitely a huge profit.
It is extremely rare to find a person with an annual income of 990 yuan here. With a net profit of million yuan in half a month, this business is not just about making money.
Zhang Xintong didn't need to sleep and wasn't busy at work, so she was bored. She wanted to flirt with Mo Fang, but he ignored her and spoke very little.
Zhang Xintong was wearing a cheongsam, drinking coffee, and sitting in the store watching the people coming and going on the street.
"Xiao 9, the tasks in this world are so simple!"
Small 9...
"How about I arrange a few little ghosts to come and rob us?"
Zhang Xintong......
"If you want to be beaten, just tell me. I can grant you that!"
Small 9...
"No, I'm just kidding!"
