Chapter 123: Operating Mission Three Has Arrived!
The day before the trial run.
When Jian Xingxia woke up early in the morning, the first thing she did was check the system.
[Temporary Laborer Work Satisfaction: 88 points.]
[Temporary Laborer Work Comments (Captured): Mother, why aren’t you saying anything? Can I go or not? Give me a definitive answer!
Was the food I cooked today not good enough? Did I use too much oil? Was it too extravagant? But it looked like the young lady owner quite enjoyed eating it.
Or was it because my voice was too loud and I scared her? Mother, hurry up and tell the young lady owner that I just have a naturally loud voice, I wasn’t trying to be aggressive!
Sigh, so many steamed buns… I forgot to bring a few back for my Dahong. Dahong has gotten so thin.
Xue Old Third has truly struck it rich. On the very first day of splitting from the family, I brought back so many things. Relying on those two brothers of his, Xue Old Third wouldn’t have been able to wear fabric like this in his entire lifetime! He still has to rely on me!
Mother! Please beg the young lady owner for me, and I’ll burn paper money for you tomorrow!
Mother? Mother, are you there? Mother, can you hear me…]
Jian Xingxia: “…”
The words were silent, but as Jian Xingxia looked at the inner thoughts captured by the system for the temporary laborer’s feedback, she felt as if she could hear the plump auntie’s booming voice shouting right next to her.
It was truly… both adorable and exasperating.
The adorable part was the auntie, while the exasperating part was the system’s method of capturing inner thoughts to calculate the satisfaction score.
She felt that if the temporary laborers were allowed to score it themselves, every single one of them would give a 95 or higher.
But after observing for so long, it was clear that the system didn’t directly ask the temporary laborers for a score. Instead, it scoured their inner thoughts from all over to generate a rating.
But… they were ancients! First of all, they would be terrified and filled with suspicion, alright? How many of them could happily give a high score on their very first visit!
Jian Xingxia complained in her heart, If I could have hired three people today, I could have brought the auntie back for some training. Now look what happened. Tomorrow, the guests and the temporary laborers will arrive at the same time—talk about chaotic!
As Jian Xingxia muttered to herself, the system suddenly chimed in.
[Manor Operating Mission Three: Attract 10 new guests within 24 hours. Reward: Guesthouse Exclusive Employment Quota 1. Current Progress: 0/10 (Counts only individuals who set foot in the manor and generate revenue).]
Jian Xingxia: “!”
Speak of the devil!
Employment quota +1!
Although she hadn’t figured out what a “guesthouse exclusive employment” meant yet, being able to hire one more person was always a good thing!
But… attracting ten new guests?
Jian Xingxia immediately opened her phone to check the invitation messages she had sent out over the past few days.
“Sister Yu and her husband said they would come, so that’s two people.”
“Qiqi’s mom said their family of three would come, so that’s three people.”
“Plus two staff members from the rural work task force, though they didn’t specify how many people…”
Even though she had already notified them, Jian Xingxia quickly sent messages to confirm. “Good morning, Sijia! How many of you are coming tomorrow? I’m taking a tally so I can arrange a vehicle to pick you all up.”
Sijia replied quickly, “Three of us! We all passed the exam to enter the workforce in the same batch. No need to arrange a vehicle, my friend’s boyfriend is driving us over tomorrow.”
Another guy replied, “Tomorrow it’ll be me, my wife, and my two nephews. Can you pick us up? We live in Jinwang Neighborhood.”
“Yes, we can pick you up!”
Jian Xingxia breathed a sigh of relief. Counting it up like this, there were twelve people. As long as she wasn’t stood up, the goal could be reached!
Looking at Operating Mission Three issued by the system, Jian Xingxia smiled happily, and then… her smile froze.
“Wait, what does ‘Counts only individuals who set foot in the manor and generate revenue’ mean?”
“For Sister Yu and Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang will probably be the one paying. Does that count as one person or two?”
“Qiqi’s family of three will probably also pay together, right? Does that count as generating revenue?”
“Children don’t cost money for accommodation. A standard king room can house two people, and a suite can house up to four… So does a child staying count as generating revenue?”
Nervousness instantly gripped Jian Xingxia’s heart.
The mission gave her only 24 hours to complete. If only the person paying counted, and the others didn’t count as generating revenue… then she wouldn’t be able to finish it!
Jian Xingxia swallowed her spit. Relying solely on the support of these few acquaintances for the trial run didn’t seem secure enough.
She had to pull in more people.
