Chapter 110: Liao Shen handles affairs, public transportation routes!
Then, his gaze shifted to Yuan Shan and Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo smiled slightly, "Hello, I am the boss here."
When Liao Shen saw Qin Nuo, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "Then let\'s sit down and talk."
He then took a seat nearby.
Qin Nuo raised an eyebrow; this old man didn\'t seem like a simple character. He appeared experienced, which suited Qin Nuo just fine.
He liked dealing with smart people and ghosts, as it saved a lot of trouble and problems.
Qin Nuo gestured to Li Tongtong, who quickly went to pour two glasses of water and placed them on the table.
After sitting down, Qin Nuo got straight to the point, candidly discussing the current crisis facing the store and the responsibilities that came with the position.Listening to this, Yuan Shan and Li Tongtong felt overwhelmed, fearing the old man might just grab his suitcase and leave.
Unexpectedly, Liao Shen remained calm after hearing everything, took a sip of water, and said, "So, what I need to do now is find a source of goods?"
Qin Nuo nodded, "That\'s the biggest challenge at the moment."
Liao Shen nodded and said directly, "Alright, give me two days, and I\'ll solve it."
"Then there\'s the issue of competitors," Li Tongtong chimed in.
"Handsome old man, can you handle that?"
"This involves strategic operations. To maximize the store\'s operations, the most direct and effective way is to eliminate the competition."
"I\'ve already looked into the Other Shore Convenience Store. They have substantial resources and a large scale, making it very challenging."
"But for me, it\'s solvable." Liao Shen\'s nonchalant words left Li Tongtong and Yuan Shan wide-eyed.
This old man was too confident!
Qin Nuo was secretly pleased; hiring this deputy manager for 1200 Ghost Currency was a bargain.
"The prerequisite is that a small condition needs to be met," Liao Shen added.
Qin Nuo immediately said, "Just tell me, and I\'ll try to provide."
"Resources. To deal with such a formidable competitor, about 10,000 Ghost Currency is needed."
Liao Shen looked at Qin Nuo, "Can this small condition be met?"
Qin Nuo\'s expression stiffened for a moment, then he asked, "Can we knock off a zero?"
Liao Shen didn\'t speak, but his eyes said it all.
Are you kidding me?
Qin Nuo coughed lightly and said, "Just focus on solving the supply issue. I\'ll handle the Other Shore Convenience Store."
Liao Shen was a bit skeptical, "You\'ll handle it?"
Qin Nuo smiled, "I didn\'t become the store manager out of nowhere. Don\'t underestimate me."
In fact, he did become the store manager out of nowhere...
"Alright, wait for my news."
Liao Shen said no more, picked up his suitcase, and left the store.
Li Tongtong said with a bit of infatuation, "This old man seems so charming!"
Yuan Shan pursed his lips, "I don\'t see it. More like a boastful old man."
Qin Nuo glanced at the two and said pointedly, "Perhaps you should reflect. The new hire is already on a business trip, and his work attitude and efficiency are miles ahead of yours."
Li Tongtong and Yuan Shan scratched their heads and muttered, "If we had his salary, we\'d be just as diligent!"
"Besides, our work is pretty laid-back..."
Qin Nuo looked out the window and said, "Since it\'s so laid-back, I\'ll give you a small task. In two days, help me investigate the background of the Other Shore Convenience Store. The more information, the better."
Li Tongtong blinked her big eyes and curiously asked, "Boss, what are you going to do?"
"Kids shouldn\'t ask too many questions. Just listen to the boss," Qin Nuo said.
Li Tongtong pouted, "You\'re only two years older than me."
Afterward, Qin Nuo lingered in the store for a while longer. When the time seemed right, he called Yuan Shan over from the shelves.
"Boss, what\'s up?" Yuan Shan asked, wiping his hands as he approached.
"Do you know where the Nether Springs Restaurant is?" Qin Nuo asked, putting the Other Shore Convenience Store issue aside for now to solve the Blood-Eyed Ghost\'s ingredient problem.
Yuan Shan shook his head, "Never heard of it, but I can help you find it on the map."
"A map? Let me see."
Qin Nuo hadn\'t expected there to be a map in the Horror World. In such a chaotic world, where an area could be swallowed at any moment, how was a map even constructed?
Yuan Shan quickly brought over the map.
Qin Nuo took it, glanced at it, and was instantly dazzled.
This map was more chaotic than a maze!
Various irregularities were displayed, like several tangled balls of yarn, intricately woven with seven or eight different colored lines. Only a ghost could understand it!
In fact, only a ghost could understand it.
Yuan Shan leaned over to look for a while, then smiled and said, "Boss, I found the location of the Nether Springs Restaurant."
Yuan Shan pointed to a spot on the map that Qin Nuo couldn\'t decipher, so he asked, "How do I get there?"
"It\'s simple. Walk a hundred meters from the door, wait for the 404 bus, and the eleventh stop is the Nether Springs Restaurant," Yuan Shan said.
Qin Nuo hadn\'t expected the route to be so straightforward. As the sky darkened, he handed the map back to Yuan Shan and got up to prepare.
Yuan Shan asked, "Boss, are you heading out?"
"Just a short trip. If all goes well, I\'ll be back tomorrow."
At the front desk, Li Tongtong quickly slurped a strand of snail noodles and, hearing this, stood up and said, "Safe travels, boss! Goodbye, boss!"
"Stealing food is fine, just wipe your mouth clean. It affects the store\'s image," Qin Nuo said, noting her greasy mouth before leaving the store.
Reaching the roadside, the dim light cast a grayish hue on both sides, and the air was cool, evoking a sense of a desolate apocalypse.
Qin Nuo walked about a hundred meters and saw a bus stop.
He sat on the bench, thinking how the bus was associated with 404, unable to shake off this unlucky number.
After a while, a bus arrived.
The bus was extremely dilapidated, even the front was misshapen, with the hood popped open and the engine spewing black smoke, creaking as it approached.
The bus windows were smeared with blood, and as it stopped, ghosts with broken limbs or cracked heads stumbled off.
They stared at Qin Nuo, shuffled over, then sniffed the Ghost Aura on him and dispersed.
Throughout, Qin Nuo remained calm.
After three instances, such a scene had become as routine as drinking tea or eating for him.
After sitting for a while longer, the air suddenly turned colder, and a layer of white frost formed on the bench.
Qin Nuo frowned and turned to see a tall figure emerging from the white mist.
It was a Stitching Ghost, covered in stitches, with twisted faces sewn onto its body, seemingly alive, opening wide mouths to emit eerie wails.
The Stitching Ghost stared at Qin Nuo, its eyes filled with intense greed.
"Your face is quite nice."
Qin Nuo looked at it, a slight smile appearing on his calm and somewhat handsome face, "And then?"
Two blood eyes opened on his arm, corpse spots spreading...
