How come I was born a deity?

Chapter 31: Please Be Sure to Join Us

The next day.

As the lyrics of "Shouldn't Be" played, Chen Qi was woken up by his alarm clock. He got up groggily, and a "gurgling" sound rang out.

"Holy crap..."

The abdominal cramps made Chen Qi recall what he had eaten last night. How could it hurt so much? This feeling was even more intense than Wallace's!

After getting up to relieve himself and washing up, Chen Qi felt a bit full and had no appetite. He drank a cup of sweet soy milk and then got ready to go out.

Now that I'm a small business owner, I have to set a good example for my employees.

In response, Chen Ruopan gave him the middle finger.

After leaving home, Chen Qi arrived at the entrance of the bookstore. Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly noticed a young man standing there, seemingly waiting for him to open it.

"Why is there someone here again today?" Chen Qi thought to himself. "Does an NPC spawn at regular intervals?"

However, he didn't say anything, but silently took out his keys, opened the door of the bookstore, and turned on the air conditioner.

"Chen Qi, male, 11 years old, born on November 22nd, father's name is Chen Fuzhou, mother's name is unknown, home address is..."

The young man by the door suddenly pulled out a notebook and began reading aloud its contents, word by word. Chen Qi whirled around, staring at him with a horrified look. "What do you need my dick for?"

No matter who it is, it's terrifying to hear anyone on the street start reciting their own information.

Seeing Chen Qi turn around, the young man, with a straight face, closed his notebook, extended his hand to Chen Qi, and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Although he didn't know who the other person was, Chen Qi was pleased with the way the other person addressed him as "Boss Chen," and shook hands with him, saying, "Hello, hello, so who are you?"

The young man was wearing a gray woolen coat and a black and gray scarf around his neck, giving him a Korean oppa style. However, he always had a stern face, making him seem unapproachable.

"Please allow me to introduce myself," the young man said, straightening his clothes. "My name is Qin Bo, Qin as in Qin Shi Huang, and Bo as in automatic parking. I'm here to look for a job at our bookstore."

"Don't keep saying 'we'," Chen Qi said, feeling a little strange. "What's your educational background?"

Qin Bo replied, "I'm still in university, but I've temporarily suspended my studies. Although I'm eligible for postgraduate admission without taking the entrance exam, I don't have any plans to take it for now."

Chen Qi: "Then you absolutely must not come to work here."

Why?

"This place is a cesspool. You, a young person with an unlimited future, should go and study hard for postgraduate entrance exams and civil service exams, and live a stable life. This place is not suitable for someone with a bright future like you."

boom!

Behind him, Shen Nianxu, wearing a green dinosaur onesie, punched Chen Qi on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's the cesspool?"

"Look," Chen Qi said seriously, "our bookstore employees dared to attack the boss, how could it be a respectable place?"

Qin Bo maintained a cold expression. "It's nothing, I don't care about these things."

Chen Qi: "You bastard..."

Shen Nianxu reached out and pulled Chen Qi under her arm, locking her arms tightly around his neck. She gave Qin Bo a bright smile, "It's okay, don't listen to his nonsense. Our bookstore is great, do you want to come work here?"

"Yes," Qin Bo nodded. "I wasn't planning on looking for a job at the moment, but my grandma called me yesterday and also got my leave of absence processed. She insisted that I come here, so I had no choice but to report to the bookstore."

grandmother?

Shen Nianxu paused for a second, then recalled Qin Bo's surname, her expression turning strange. "You're from Qin's Firm?"

"That's right," Qin Bo nodded. "I'm the CEO of Qin's Firm. You should have met my brother some time ago. He's the official boss of Qin's Firm."

Is this Boss Qin's younger brother?

Chen Qi patted Shen Nianxu's arm, signaling her to let go. It wasn't that he was uncomfortable from being strangled, but rather that there was something soft pressing on his face and ears. If she didn't loosen her grip, he wouldn't be able to control his gun!

After being released, Chen Qi asked, "So, it was... Granny Qin who sent you?"

"I think I've made myself very clear."

Chen Qi glanced back at Hu Yao, who was yawning as she came down from the second floor of the bookstore. She had already adopted someone from Shangqing Palace a few days ago, so why did she have to adopt someone from Qin's Agency today?

Is this an adoption center?

"I'm sorry," Chen Qi said apologetically, "we don't need any extra staff right now, so you'd better look for another job."

Qin Bo replied, "Please think of a way. If I go back like this, I won't be able to explain myself, and my grandmother will kill me."

Chen Qi: "Well... there's really no way around it. Our funds are limited, and we simply can't afford to pay any extra salaries..."

"I can do without a salary."

"Please, you must join us," Chen Qi said, shaking Qin Bo's hand with deep affection. "Our bookstore is lacking a responsible employee like you."

Shen Nianxu: "..."

That's incredibly shameless.

Swatting away Chen Qi's hand, Shen Nianxu asked, "What exactly does Granny Qin want?"

Her tone wasn't very friendly, but that was normal. After all, everyone was quite frightened at the Qin family's office yesterday, especially Hu Yao, who even started to develop a psychological aversion to the cultivator forces outside of Shangqing Palace and the bookstore.

If she could swallow her anger like this, it would be completely out of character for her.

"It's nothing," Qin Bo's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, always cold and aloof. "Grandma mainly wants me to join the bookstore so I can learn from everyone there, which will help me grow as a cultivator."

"After all, my talent is not as good as my brother's, so my grandmother thinks that more contact with the outside world and stimulation might be more helpful to me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nianxu looked at Chen Qi.

Regardless of how things usually are, the owner of the bookstore is still Chen Qi, and Shen Nianxu will definitely respect his opinion at times like this.

However, judging from Shen Nianxu's expression, Chen Qi didn't seem to be very fond of Qin Bo.

"Sigh," Chen Qi shook his head, choosing to respect Shen Nianxu's decision, "This really puts me in a difficult position..."

Qin Bo: "I can pay to work."

"Start working here immediately! From today onwards, I'm the owner of the bookstore, and you're the CEO!"

Shen Nianxu rolled her eyes at him.

Hu Yao came down the stairs from the second floor. Not knowing what was going on at the door, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned.
