Chapter 134 Bizarre Uses
Chen Miao returned to Tianmen Funeral Home at 4 p.m., where a memorial service was still being held in one of the halls.
As Chen Miao exited the parking lot, he ran into Sister Li from the funeral supplies store.
"Hey, Sanshui, whose kid is this? Why is he wearing an eye patch? Is this some kind of Kospree?"
Chen Miao was helpless.
"Sister Li, it's not cosplay. He has an eye condition, and that's gauze."
"Ah, then he..."
Sister Li originally wanted to ask about Xiaobai's hair, but stopped herself after seeing his eyebrows.
Where are you taking him?
"My office is occupied by a friend who asked me to look after it for a few days."
Upon hearing Chen Miao's words, Sister Li immediately rolled her eyes at him.
"You're a bachelor who can't even take care of yourself, let alone a child?"
"Well then, I'm free anyway, I'll take care of it for you."
"I didn't look closely just now, but this kid is quite handsome."
As Sister Li spoke, she squatted down.
"Little friend, what's your name? Would you like to come play with me? I have lots of paper toys over there, you can play with them all."
Chen Miao's eye twitched.
Are those things even playable?
Fortunately, Xiaobai ignored Sister Li and moved closer to Chen Miao.
"Sister Li, I'll take Xiaobai to the office first, and I'll bring him to you when I have some free time."
After saying that, without waiting for Sister Li to stop her, she hurriedly left with Xiaobai.
Upon arriving at the office, Chen Miao released Xiao Bai's hand and placed her on the sofa.
"Xiaobai, wait here for a moment. Uncle will tidy up the room and put your things away."
Chen Miao originally wanted to find a snack for Xiao Bai, but he couldn't find one. Usually, besides drinking tea, he would eat the fruit that was slowly served to him.
Seeing that Xiaobai was sitting there looking a bit lonely, Chen Miao took out the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword and placed it in Xiaobai's hand.
"Here, Xiaobai, you can play with this first. It's the same as your master's sword."
Seeing Xiaobai reaching out to feel the seven stars on the sword, Chen Miao smiled and walked towards the bedroom.
The bedroom originally had a large bed, but with Xiaobai's arrival, Chen Miao only needed to make room for half of it.
After making the bed, Chen Miao took out Xiaobai's clothes, the ointment for her eyes, gauze, and other items, and placed them in an easily accessible spot.
Chen Miao set an alarm on his phone to remind Xiao Bai to apply ointment to her eyes every day.
After tidying everything up, Chen Miao went outside and saw Xiao Bai sitting blankly on the sofa, holding the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword.
A smile immediately appeared in Chen Miao's eyes.
He used to be uninterested in children, especially boys, because he would always encounter those unruly kids running around on the street, looking at him with arrogant expressions.
But Xiaobai changed Chen Miao's stereotypes about children.
"Little Bai, come on, Uncle will take you outside for a walk."
Chen Miao took the peach wood sword from Xiao Bai's arms and placed it on the table. Then, he took Xiao Bai's hand and walked outside.
Tianmen Funeral Home isn't exactly small; it took Chen Miao ten minutes to show Xiaobai around the funeral home.
Then Chen Miao took Xiaobai out of the south gate and took a walk along the Shuangling River.
Since Chen Miao started working on drawing talismans, he's rarely gone for walks anymore. If it weren't for Xiao Bai's visit, he'd probably be either drawing talismans or practicing something else right now. After walking with Xiao Bai until lunchtime, Chen Miao took Xiao Bai to the cafeteria for a meal. This time, most of the people at the funeral home recognized Xiao Bai, which was exactly what Chen Miao had hoped for.
For the next two days, Chen Miao's life became regular again.
He's either busy with funeral home matters, or busy drawing talismans and playing with his little white dog.
During this time, Chen Miao changed Xiao Bai's dressing twice. The second time he changed the dressing, Xiao Bai said he could see a little better, which was a good sign. Maybe Xiao Bai's eyes would be healed before Zhong Cai returned.
As for Zhong Cai, he went for two days without any news.
Chen Miao originally thought this kind of life would continue until Xiao Bai was picked up, but who knew that on the third day, what was bound to happen still happened.
Tao Bo has submitted his resignation.
Chen Miao tried to persuade Tao Bo to stay, but Tao Bo seemed disappointed because he didn't mention a raise, and he was going to leave that day.
Chen Miao did not object any further and settled his wages for the period of work, as well as his overtime pay.
When Tao Bo saw the overtime pay, he was stunned for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
Chen Miao had anticipated this, so he didn't think much of it.
As a result, someone saw that Tao Bo got directly into Du Xiang's car after leaving the funeral home.
Du Xiang was completely unreserved.
This angered Chen Miao.
After calming down, Chen Miao suddenly thought of the eccentric emcee she had interviewed before, and for some reason, an idea popped into her head.
Immediately, Chen Miao opened the recruitment platform and removed the oddball from the blacklist.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Miao typed out a line of text.
"Chen Miao: Hello, I have considered your conditions and can agree to them. The trial period salary is 80%, and you will be officially employed after three months of trial."
After sending the message, Chen Miao was about to go about her other business when the other party replied instantly.
Cui Xing: No, the probation period is too long, one month at most, and I need my probation salary to be paid in full.
Chen Miao's expression was a bit strange. Could it be that this guy does nothing all day but lie around on job websites looking for opportunities?
Is he unable to stay at the Shannan City Funeral Center any longer?
Chen Miao had no intention of finding out, after all, he hadn't hired the other party to do any work.
Chen Miao: Sure, but you'll have to stay in our funeral home's dormitory during this period. Only after your probation period is over can you choose your own accommodation and get reimbursed for the 2,000 yuan fuel expense.
"Cui Xing: You're being a bit stingy, passing the buck over two thousand yuan."
Chen Miao did not reply.
Cui Xing: Okay, that's settled then. I think you'll definitely make me a full-time employee in less than a month. My professional skills are unmatched by any other emcee in your county.
Chen Miao: That would be great! When can I start work? I hope it's as soon as possible.
"Cui Xing: If you're in a hurry, I can resign directly and start work tomorrow, but that two thousand yuan fuel surcharge..."
Chen Miao: Sure, fuel surcharges will be paid together with wages, but you have to work a full month to receive them.
Cui Xing: Don't worry, I'll go and submit my resignation right away!
After the conversation was over, Chen Miao smiled.
He immediately sent the message to the group chat that a new emcee would be on duty the next day.
He knew that this news would soon reach Du Xiang's ears, and he wondered if Du Xiang would then contact Cui Xing.
Why am I starting to feel a little excited?
