“It’s alright, I’m just doing this for the first time so there are many things I don’t understand. However, overall, it’s not bad, I think I can do it well.”
After finishing her sentence, Xiaomuqing cheered herself on internally.
For the sake of that raise, even if I can’t, I have to!
“Pfft~ What were you two doing just now?”
Seeing Xiaomuqing’s serious expression, Yu Jie wanted to laugh, wanting to say that she wasn’t asking about this matter.
When she accidentally let out a little sound, she quickly covered her mouth. After controlling her facial expression, she asked again.
“Emmm, the shop manager taught me how to work and then demonstrated it for me.”
Raising her eyebrows with a slightly surprised look, Xiaomuqing felt like she heard a strange sound, seemingly laughter, but she didn’t hear it clearly.
Puzzled, she looked up at the ceiling, recalled what had happened just now, and answered truthfully.
“Were you doing this the whole time?”
“Mhm, mhm.”
“Didn’t you get assigned any other tasks?”
“No, I was just doing this.”
After listening to Xiaomuqing’s answer, Yu Jie narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at those cute, almond-shaped eyes for a moment in silence.
She didn’t believe it. How difficult could it be to create an income statement on a computer? The computer software was very convenient, and there wasn’t much actual work involved.
However, from Xiaomuqing’s eyes, she could tell that she wasn’t lying and wasn’t showing any unusual behavior, so Yu Jie didn’t say much more.
But looked at it another way, turning a simple task into a complicated one was already quite something.
So, to summarize in one sentence: the shop manager is indeed amazing.
“Alright, eat slowly. There’s seaweed soup in the kitchen, you can have some later.”
Saying this, she patted Xiaomuqing’s head, left with a smile, and stood up to walk outside.
Before leaving, she didn’t forget to leave Xiaomuqing with a meaningful smile.
“Mm-hmm.”
Nodding, Xiaomuqing felt that Sister Yu was a bit strange today, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Thinking about it, it seemed like yesterday was also strange, and everyone in the shop was strange.
Emmm…
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t understand the situation. Since nothing bad had happened, she figured it might just be her imagination.
If she couldn’t figure it out, she might as well focus on being a “foodie.”
There wasn’t much food in the lunchbox. Ever since her transformation, Xiaomuqing’s appetite had drastically decreased. She was already full after eating just a little.
It was a very strange thing, and even she didn’t understand the principle behind it.
In the lounge, maids would occasionally push open the door with their lunchboxes and join the “foodie” army, sitting together at the long table to eat.
While eating, they would all look at Xiaomuqing with meaningful smiles and gossip a bit.
“Nothing happened. They were just normally teaching me how to do the ledger.”
Facing the continuous questioning from the maids, Xiaomuqing felt a bit overwhelmed.
Everyone was looking at her with strange eyes, making her uncomfortable to even eat, and the food in her bowl suddenly didn’t taste as good.
“Okay, okay, we won’t ask anymore.”
Seeing Xiaomuqing getting anxious from the questioning, the maids stopped and didn’t push things further.
But in their eyes, the slight blush on Xiaomuqing’s face, caused by her anxiety, looked “awesome.”
The plots the maid sisters imagined were quite “awesome.”
After dinner and a short rest, Xiaomuqing changed out of her maid outfit and into her own clothes.
Her long black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. The clothes she was wearing didn’t match her at all; in fact, they looked a bit ugly.
A T-shirt that had become a bit faded from washing, and a pair of sweatpants from some unknown era.
Perhaps because the maid outfit had made Xiaomuqing look too cute, when she put on these clothes, it caused everyone to express their displeasure.
They all felt that such a cute girl was being “ruined” by these ugly clothes.
“No! I can’t stand it anymore!”
Just as Xiaomuqing walked out of the changing room and was about to turn around to leave the lounge and go home, a maid suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
“I can’t stand it either!”
“Me neither!”
A total of three maids slammed the table and stood up together. Then, they menacingly walked up to Xiaomuqing and surrounded her.
“Ah, this…”
Xiaomuqing was stunned by the sound of the table being slammed, and then by the voices of a few people. She was stunned again.
When she came back to her senses, her path was blocked, and there was no escape.
“What’s wrong?”
The maid sister in front of her looked at her aggressively, making Xiaomuqing feel flustered. She couldn’t help but swallow a gulp of air and cautiously asked.
“Xiaomuqing!”
“Ah… Ah?”
While speaking forcefully, she replied tremblingly.
“From today onwards, I forbid you from wearing these clothes!”
The maid sister spoke to Xiaomuqing in a commanding tone.
“Huh? If I don’t wear these, what should I wear?”
Xiaomuqing was puzzled by this question and couldn’t understand why they were angry.
Moreover, their expressions looked so fierce.
“Because these clothes are too ugly and completely unsuitable for you.”
After saying this, the two maids beside her nodded in agreement.
“Huh? No way.”
Looking down at her clothes, Xiaomuqing felt there was no problem. Then, with a look of confusion, she looked up at the maid sisters.
“What do you mean ‘no way,’ it’s obvious, hello!”
“Mhm, as a girl, how can you dress yourself like this!?”
“The thought of Xiaomuqing ‘ruining’ herself like this makes me so uncomfortable I can barely breathe.”
“…”
Facing the scolding from the maids, Xiaomuqing didn’t dare to say a word, nor did she know how to respond. She could only lean against the wall and tremble.
Should she tell them that she was actually a boy?
What was happening in front of her was too sudden, and she had no idea how to exit the situation or what to do.
At this crucial moment, the lounge door was pushed open, and Yu Jie walked in.
“Sister Yu!”
As if seeing a savior, Xiaomuqing quickly called out to Yu Jie, hoping for some outside help.
She just wanted to go home, sniffle, sniffle.
“What are you doing?”
As soon as she opened the door, Yu Jie was shocked by the scene before her.
Looking at Xiaomuqing, who was shivering in the corner, and then at the three maids, who were surrounding the person with righteous indignation.
This scene was a little… Yu Jie felt ashamed after seeing it.
“We are educating Xiaomuqing!”
Saying this righteously, the three maids presented a united front and expressed their thoughts together.
And they declared that even if they were wrong, they wouldn’t change!
