Arrived at the convenience store of Mrs. Sawai, it was not ten o'clock. But it happened to see Mrs. Sawai coming out of the store and preparing to go back.

Generally, she goes home before 10 o'clock in the evening, and then comes to the store at 7 o'clock the next morning. This is only an approximate time. It is possible to advance or postpone a few minutes.

Fortunately, this time I ran into it just before she went back. If it really came over at 10 o'clock, I would not have seen her.

"Mrs. Sawai." Li Xuehao stopped her from a distance.

"Maka-kun, are you here to buy something so late today?" Mrs. Sawai looked at him with a little surprise, because she would rarely meet him at this point in time.

"Actually, I'm not here to buy things, I'm here to find you, Madam." Li Xuehao walked to her, after all, he was going to ask someone for help. This gesture was still necessary.

"Is there anything wrong, Mahinaka-kun?" Mrs. Sawai asked curiously. He didn't come to the convenience store to buy something, so what would it be?

"I want to ask, is there any plan to hire a new clerk in Madam's convenience store?" Li Xuehao went straight to the topic.

"Huh?" Mrs. Sawai looked even more surprised, and then looked at him suddenly, "Maka-kun wants to experience the life of a part-time job?"

"No, it's actually the mother of a friend of mine. I want to introduce her to a job." Li Xuehao didn't hide it. Anyway, Mrs. Hosotani will come to work, and Mrs. Sawai will also inquire about her details. "She is a family. The housewife, because something happened at home recently, she had to come out and find a job."

After listening, Mrs. Sawai showed some ambiguity on her face, and smiled softly: "I guess your friend must be a very cute girl."

"Ah~" Li Xuehao avoided this misunderstanding topic directly, "...Madam hasn't answered my question yet."

"Well..." Mrs. Sawai said with a thoughtful look, and said after a few seconds, "In fact, the clerk is already full."

"That..." Li Xuehao just wanted to say that he would advance the salary, but Mrs. Sawai continued: "But since it is the request of the true king, then I can't let you be ashamed in front of the cute girl, can I? I can promise You, please invite a new clerk, but the salary is very low, less than the other clerks. After all, the convenience store is not big, and only a few clerks are needed. Is that okay?"

"Can I ask how much a month is?" Li Xuehao secretly "praised" her for her shrewdness. Although it was because of the face of his "big client", Mrs. Sawai had agreed to invite another person, but she deserves to be Convenience store owners, even if they want to "loss", they want to "loss" as little as possible.

"This is a business secret, but I can tell you that only the other clerk's salary is half." Mrs. Sawai made a secret gesture and smiled softly.

"I will make up for the remaining half." Li Xuehao didn't like to drag his feet, so he said directly. Even if Mrs. Sawai didn't tell him the salary level of the clerk, it shouldn't be much higher, and half of the salary is estimated to be even more pitiful.

"Huh?" Mrs. Sawai was taken aback, wondering if she had misheard, and made up the remaining half?

Li Xuehao didn't care about her surprised expression, and continued: "Please don't tell her, Madam, just let her misunderstand that you are giving her full salary."

"Mannaka-kun, can you tell me why I did this?" Mrs. Sawai did not immediately agree, but looked at him seriously. This was the first time she encountered this kind of thing, and she was really curious.

"It's a bit complicated to explain, and it's late now, Mrs. Sawai, do you think you can do me a favor?" Li Xuehao asked.

"Well, I think I'm very happy to help with this." Mrs. Sawai nodded after thinking about it, but then continued, "But I helped Shinaka-kun, do you want Shinaka-kun to help me? Woolen cloth?"

"...Of course." Li Xuehao smiled bitterly, Mrs. Sawai really didn't want to suffer at all. She just owed favors and will pay back soon.

"Mannaka-kun said before that I was studying at Sakurano High School? These two days are the cultural festival of Sakurano High School. Yuko does not have to go to class tomorrow, so I want to visit it. Can I ask Makino-kun to take care of it?"

"This is no problem, don't worry, as long as I am in school, I will definitely take care of her." It turned out that it was just such a small matter. Li Xuehao thought it would be something embarrassing for him, and he was relieved when he heard it.

"Then please!" Mrs. Sawai bowed, and the two of them also completed a "deal."

...

After solving the problem of Mrs. Hosotani's work, Li Xuehao returned home.

However, what she faced was the posture of a "three-court trial." Chiba Sayuri was in the center, with Mai Gua and Yuki Majima on the left and right, and the three were waiting on the sofa in the living room.

"Greasy sauce, why is it so late to come back?" Seeing him entering the living room, Gusheng Mai on the sofa on the left immediately bounced off the sofa, leaned close to him and smelled it, and then with a strong and suspicious tone. "It smells like a woman!"

Chiba Sayuri also looked over, although she didn't speak, her eyes flashed with faint cold light.

Yuki Jianjima is probably a centrist, or he has not yet transformed from his identity as a "guest". I will look at this and that at the same time. While curious, it seems to have a little smirk.

"Have you not smelled the smell of alcohol on my body, Sister Mai?" Li Xuehao was calm on the surface, but was slandering to himself, what to do with his nose so sensitive.

"Well, it does smell of alcohol." Gusheng Mai nodded, but then became a little frustrated, "You went to drink, you actually went to drink, and you are not yet old enough to drink! Greasy sauce!"

"No way, I was dragged away by the teacher." Li Xuehao has already found an excuse. "Mr." is still a very great role in the students' minds, so it can at least make people "reassuring" a lot.

"Teacher?" Sure enough, Gua Sheng Mai condensed a little excitement, but still looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, a teacher I know."

"Female teacher?" Gua Sheng Mai asked again.

"Well, it's actually the health care teacher in our school. I just ran into it on the way back. Maybe it was because of a broken relationship or something. Anyway, she was not in a good mood, so she dragged me to drink. In the end she was still drunk, and then I gave her away. I'll be back right away when I get home." Li Xuehao had already prepared this set of rhetoric before he came back. The "black pot" should have his eldest wife black voice on his back. He wanted to pour "dirty water" on Mizuhashi Ryoko, but she was a university teacher, and she had to explain how she met her again, troublesome.

Gua Sheng Mai stared at him for a while, and finally accepted this statement, although this explanation sounds far-fetched.

The faint cold light in Chiba Sayuri's eyes was also slightly introverted, but Yuki Majima had weird eyes and seemed to be a little disappointed?
