Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Take Me In Too

"You just tell him, there’s nothing to hide," Lu Youxi said. "It’s just that my cousin was not ethical in his actions, so I made it impossible for him to stay at Jing University."

Pei Jingyuan: "!!!"

Could Lu Youxi really be so ruthless towards her own cousin?

Ji Deyi still spoke in favor of Lu Youxi, "Mainly because her cousin, Lu Youbang, was really unethical. If it were me, I wouldn’t let him off either. It’s just that Lu Youxi put it into action directly; if it were me, I might still be agonizing over how to handle it."

Pei Jingyuan didn’t get much comfort from that remark and immediately assured Lu Youxi, "Boss, don’t worry, I will definitely work hard for you, I won’t think about doing anything shady. As an internet cafe manager, I’ll just focus on being a good internet cafe manager, and I absolutely won’t scam you guys. Whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it and listen to you obediently."

Pei Jingyuan paused for a moment, then felt that his statement was a bit too absolute, so he added, "Of course, it still must be within legal and non-criminal boundaries. I’m just an ordinary student and a law-abiding citizen, I wouldn’t dare do anything bad."

"Don’t worry about it," Lu Youxi nodded with a smile. "If you work hard, I definitely won’t cheat you."

"Also, Ji Deyi said that your computer skills are very high, and that you even want to develop in the software field."

Pei Jingyuan didn’t expect Ji Deyi to disclose that too, and couldn’t help but glance toward Ji Deyi.

Ji Deyi explained, "It’s not something to be ashamed of. Besides, you really have skills in computing. But since you’re skilled, and yet want to work as a net manager, I’ve got to give Lu Youxi a valid reason."

Pei Jingyuan nodded, but misunderstood Lu Youxi’s intentions, "I just want to work part-time here to earn money, then go home and work. I absolutely won’t use work hours for it, I won’t neglect my work here."

Seeing that he misunderstood, Lu Youxi explained, "Don’t misunderstand my intention, I mean you should work well here, and in the future, you’ll definitely have the chance to showcase your talents in this field."

Pei Jingyuan thought to himself, Lu Youxi, just an internet café owner, how could she enable him to showcase his talents?

If he truly could develop good software, Lu Youxi probably wouldn’t have the funds to invest, right?

Pei Jingyuan had agreed to be the net manager because he saw an opportunity here with computers, free internet, and a chance to earn extra money.

"In that case, I’ll set up two computers here," Lu Youxi pointed at the cashier desk for part-time jobs located at the entrance.

"One will use the internet cafe’s system, for your work as a net manager. The other, I will set up for your personal use," Lu Youxi continued, "After all, net managers usually have nothing to do unless customers need them, most of the time they’re just online. If you’d like to use your free online time for software development, I’ll provide you with a new device."

"Of course, if you prefer working at home instead of here, then I’ll only provide you with a computer for net managing," Lu Youxi added.

Pei Jingyuan, whose brain hadn’t quite caught up yet, already blurted out worrying Lu Youxi might change her mind, "I want the computer!"

After a few seconds, once Pei Jingyuan’s overheated brain had cooled down, he awkwardly said, "Um... doing my own stuff during work hours, that’s really okay?"

"If you’re working on software development, which is legitimate work, I have no problem with that. But if it’s anything else, definitely not," Lu Youxi stated directly. "I’m providing you with a computer and a salary, and letting you work on your interests during work hours, consider it an investment. If you use it for other purposes, I’d certainly have to withdraw that investment."

"I definitely won’t do anything else!" Pei Jingyuan scratched his head and said, "Actually, I was thinking, since I’m working part-time and have classes, I might need to use my spare time and might even need to pull all-nighters for software development."

Lu Youxi being okay with him managing both roles as a net manager was a pleasant surprise for him.

"Alright." Lu Youxi nodded, "Then it’s settled. How do you find the current computer specs? If they aren’t good enough, make a list for me, and I’ll get another one."

Ji Deyi was green with envy, wishing he had known earlier how much Lu Youxi valued talent; he might have taken the net manager job himself!

Ji Deyi eagerly said, "Lu Youxi, didn’t you say you needed another net manager to cover shifts? How about me?"

Lu Youxi rolled her eyes, "Forget it. The workload[at Jing University is not light, where will you find the time? Besides, if your family finds out that a top student from Jing University is coming here to work as a net manager for me, they’d probably bring people to smash my internet café."

Ji Deyi being admitted to Jing University surely came with high expectations from his family.

Having Ji Deyi help with assembling computers and such was one thing, but employing him was another.

Ji Deyi looked longingly at the computers, thinking that instead of idling away at school, he might as well earn some pocket money here.

"Don’t say that, as long as my academic performance doesn’t drop, my family definitely won’t mind," Ji Deyi still didn’t give up. "Besides, isn’t it good for me and Pei Jingyuan to cover each other’s shifts? We can check our class schedules and adjust our working hours accordingly. Moreover, I’m your classmate, and Ji Deyi was introduced by me. Aren’t we more reliable than outsiders?"

"And besides, with shifts and stuff, if either of us has any issues, we can discuss and avoid conflicts," Ji Deyi continued persuasively. "I usually go to internet cafes anyway, I’ve even stayed up all night gaming. Working here as a net manager, I could also search for information and complete school assignments online."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Your argument does seem to make sense.

"How about it? Let me try too," Ji Deyi pushed a bit harder.

Lu Youxi: "..."

"Alright, if you’re interested, come give it a try. If you find it unbearable, just let me know in advance so I can find someone to replace you. You can’t just quit one day and not show up the next. I wouldn’t have enough time to find a replacement," Lu Youxi made it clear upfront.

"Let’s sign a labor contract later, and clearly state the rights and duties of both parties," Lu Youxi suggested.

Ji Deyi hadn’t expected Lu Youxi to be so cautious—who signs a contract for a net manager job?

But the more Pei Jingyuan thought about it, the more reliable he found Lu Youxi to be, showcasing her commitment to her work.

After the computer systems were all set up, Ji Deyi checked the computers over and said, "This setup is fine."

"Alright," Lu Youxi got Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan to help move both computers to the manager’s desk.

"You guys decide which computer each of you wants to use," Lu Youxi said generously.

Ji Deyi hugged Pei Jingyuan’s shoulder, boastfully saying, "What do you think? Brother, I didn’t introduce you wrongly, did I?"
