Cat and Su Li stood together at the door.
Cat wanted to cheer herself or, but she found one hand gripping Su Li’s while the other clutched her own iron box.
The door was right in front of her. Although she felt a bit nervous every time she visited Su Li’s home, this time was different.
Just thinking about an interviewer waiting for her inside Su Li’s house made Cat feel her heart throb.
‘Perhaps Miss Cat’s Pooper-Scooper felt like this when she was looking for a new job?’
With a better job, one could have a better life.
As Cat thought about this, the secret Su Li had told her earlier surfaced in her mind. She just had to remember the interviewer’s words.
‘I can definitely do it!’
Cat prepared herself mentally, and at that moment, Su Li took out her keys and opened the door.
Cat looked at the situation inside the house; the entire room was empty. Only the occasional sound of meowing could be heard.
It was Big Thunder, Tu Dou, Milk, and Dou Fu. Remembering the cats Su Li raised, Cat suddenly relaxed.
She was good friends with those cats, too. Of course, Su Li was her number one best friend.
However, Cat quickly shook her head, forcing herself to focus.
Perhaps Su Li had predicted she would be distracted by the cats, which was why she told her in advance to remember the interviewer’s words.
Su Li must have guessed her attention would wander.
Yet, as Cat searched the area, she didn’t hear any other sounds. If there were someone else in the room, she felt that with her sharp hearing, she would certainly be able to tell.
“I’ll first take Cat on a tour of your future residence,” Su Li said, handing the cat slippers to her.
Looking at the closed door behind her, Cat blinked at Su Li. She felt a bit lost right now.
However, with Su Li there, there was nothing to worry about. Cat obediently changed into the slippers.
Seeing several little kittens circling and rubbing against her, she felt a bit embarrassed to greet them.
After all, she was here for an interview, not for a tour. If the interviewer found out her attitude wasn’t serious enough, it would be bad if the first impression was poor.
Therefore, Cat kept her body tense and followed Su Li mechanically. Had the interviewer not arrived yet?
As they passed other rooms, Cat took a peek and found no one else in sight.
“This will be Cat’s room from now on.”
“Eh?”
Cat was stunned for a moment. Room and board were included, but did “room” mean living in Su Li’s home?
‘Is Su Li’s home actually the employee dormitory?’
Cat was a bit dazed; she felt like her head was no longer working properly.
Although living in Su Li’s home was a very happy thing, if it was a dormitory, wouldn’t the boss have to make more money, and wouldn’t she be a burden to Su Li?
“Yes, you can understand it as an employee dormitory.” Su Li explained, “For now, our project only has one employee — Cat.”
Su Li looked at the tightly closed door. Cat no longer had an opportunity to leave.
Moreover, Su Li was currently gripping Cat’s hand tightly; Cat would have to break free from her grasp to get away.
Cat simply stood there blankly. Her small hand, which was holding the iron box, pointed at herself, and then she blinked at Su Li.
“Me? I’m the only employee?”
“Yes, for the time being, there is only one employee.” Su Li looked at Cat, then at Big Thunder, Tu Dou, and the other kittens that had followed Cat inside.
Right now, there was only one employee, but when there were other projects in the future, Big Thunder and Tu Dou could also become employees.
When that time came, Cat could take on a position like group leader or supervisor.
“Does Cat have any other requirements for the room? If you have any other needs, you can tell me, and I can prepare them for you.”
Cat was still a bit dazed; she had not yet reacted to the fact that she was the sole employee.
“No, none. I am very satisfied,” Cat said softly.
She noticed there was a dedicated table in the room. Whenever she had come to Su Li’s home before, this door had always been tightly shut, so she never knew what was inside.
‘It’s like a dream. Will this room really belong to me from now on?’
“Of course, this is just a temporary residence. When the company relocates in the future, Cat will also have to move with us. But Cat doesn’t need to worry; the company will arrange the residence and everything else for you,” Su Li said.
She did not plan on living here for a long time. Once she made enough money, she would leave with Cat.
“Can I… can I use this table too?”
Cat looked at the table in front of her, which was lined with many books.
Just imagining that she could live here and have a dedicated table for studying made her feel incredibly happy.
There was even a pencil case with a cat pattern and a pile of exercise books on the table.
She could practice writing on those exercise books over and over again.
Furthermore, the room was very large and even equipped with an air conditioner.
Standing at the doorway, Cat didn’t even dare to enter, fearing she would get the room dirty.
“Yes, of course. There are also some work uniforms for Cat inside. In the future, when Cat is working, you can pick any one to wear.”
Su Li spoke, though she wasn’t sure if the sizes were right. But since they were Cat’s work uniforms, it wouldn’t matter if she added a few more later, right?
Cat looked at Su Li, feeling that this job was too good. She worried that Su Li was spending her own money to give her this job.
“Next, let me introduce what Cat needs to do. Cat doesn’t need to worry about me losing money. Since it is our company, it will naturally be profitable. When the time comes, I will provide Cat with an account and teach you how to use the computer. Cat only needs to reply to messages when specific people send them. Of course, I will teach you specifically how to reply.”
“If Cat wants to work part-time, we also offer part-time service here. If Cat thinks her cooking is good, I can pay her 100 yuan for cooking three times. Then there is Auntie’s Room Cleaning — for daily maintenance, I’ll pay Cat 100 yuan a day. For a deep clean, I’ll pay Cat 500 yuan a time. Naturally, the company will provide the cleaning tools and ingredients for cooking, so Cat doesn’t need to worry. Cat’s daily wage will be 300 yuan. As long as Cat is willing to work hard, a monthly income over 10,000 is not difficult.”
