Doomsday B&B

Chapter 18 Renovating the Convenience Store

After changing her name, 666 emerged from the system—no, she should be called Qi Tuantuan now. After exiting the system, Tuantuan looked at the sleeping Qi Yun and happily went to do what Qi Yun had instructed her to do.

Tuantuan checked the time; it was already 8 o'clock. It quickly sent a notification through the employee system:

"Today we need to renovate the convenience store and build a new store, so today is a paid day off."

It then remembered that the newly hired waiter at Qiyun hadn't signed a contract yet and hadn't received any notification, so it sent Zhao Wenzhi a separate message, telling him to wait at home for further notice.

Finally, Tuantuan set up a new large screen outside the convenience store. On it, Tuantuan not only posted a notice that the convenience store would be closed for the day, but also added a job posting for waiters, just like Qiyun's habit.

After doing all that, Tuantuan circled around Qiyun a few times, then landed next to Qiyun's face, its tiny body pressed against Qiyun's face as it fell asleep.

When Qi Yun woke up, before she could even open her eyes, she felt a furry sensation on her face. When she opened her eyes, she saw Tuan Tuan sleeping right next to her face.

The moment Qi Yun woke up, Tuan Tuan realized that it was a system, not a real animal that needed to sleep. It was just sleeping next to Qi Yun's face because it wanted to get closer to Qi Yun.

"Yunyun, Yunyun, you're awake. Shall we start renovating the convenience store?"

"Tuantuan, wait a minute, let me wash up and change my clothes first."

"Okay, Yunyun, go ahead. I've brought your breakfast out. I'll put it on the table for you first. Come and eat first, then we'll renovate the convenience store."

"My Tuantuan is so thoughtful." After saying that, Qiyun went to wash up and change her clothes. She didn't notice that Tuantuan was glowing red, as if she were burning up. When Qiyun returned, Tuantuan had recovered and eaten. Qiyun then went out to the small courtyard that was being used as staff dormitories. She wanted Kong Yunhua to give her some advice on adding a study corner to the children's playground that was going to be added to the convenience store. After all, he was a professor; while he might not be good at other things, he was definitely skilled at selecting books.

Upon entering the courtyard, Qi Yun saw two little girls, Xin Xin and Bei Bei, sitting at the table, their heads close together, looking at a sketchbook. Zhao Wenzhi, on the other hand, was sweeping the dust off the ground with a large broom. Although the ground wasn't very dirty, he seemed to be working very diligently.

"Xin Xin, Bei Bei." Upon hearing the voice, the three people in the courtyard looked up at the same time.

"Sister Qi".

"Hey, sweetie, Xin Xin, can you call your dad out for your sister?"

"Okay, I'll go right now." After saying that, Xin Xin took her younger sister off the stool and ran towards their room.

Zhao Wenzhi walked over after seeing that Qi Yun had finished talking to the two girls.

Qi Yun saw Zhao Wenzhi walking over:

"Perfect timing, come here. Take a look at this temporary contract first. If you think it's acceptable, sign it. You can become a full-time employee after the probation period." As she spoke, Qi Yun took out a temporary contract and a pen and placed them on the table.

Zhao Wenzhi was overjoyed. Without even looking at it, he picked up a pen and signed the contract. After signing, he quickly returned the contract to Qi Yun.

"You signed it without even reading it? Is this some kind of unfair contract I gave you?"

"Don't worry, besides, someone as good as the boss would never do something like that, hehe."

"Alright, the room you stayed in last night is yours from now on. You can change the layout if you don't like it, and you can also choose your own furniture. Your personal computer can handle all of that."

"Okay, I understand, thank you, boss."

"By the way, I'll be opening a small hot pot buffet tomorrow. You can work there as the cashier. I'll send you the information about it so you can take a look. All you need to do there is clean up."

"Okay, boss."

As they were talking, Kong Yunhua and Qi Huan, the couple, also came over:

"Boss, what did you call me here for?" Kong Yunhua asked.

"Well, I'd like to renovate the convenience store and add a children's playground. It should be divided into three parts: a play area, a study corner, and a rest area. I'd like you to help me choose some books, as I'm not very good at this. Just pick books for ages 1 to 18, educational books, entertainment books, all kinds, the more the better. Oh, and if you have any other books you need, you can pick those out too."

"Okay, boss, how do I select books?"

"Okay, just wait."

"Tuan Tuan, come out." Following Qi Yun's voice, a mini black and white dumpling flew in front of Qi Yun, accompanied by an adorable little baby voice.

"Yunyun, what do you want to do?"

"Give Brother Kong access to the bookstore section of my online store so he can help me select some books to put in the study corner."

"okay."

After talking to Tuantuan, Qiyun saw that the three adults and two children were staring at Tuantuan with shining eyes. This scared Tuantuan, who was a system, so she quickly ran into Qiyun's hair and hid herself.

"Sister Qi, is that a panda?" Kong Qixin spoke first.

"Ah, yes."

Can I play with it?

Looking into those expectant, starry eyes, Qi Yun couldn't bear to refuse, so she called Tuan Tuan out.

"Tuantuan, come out and play with Xinxin and Beibei. You can build a small play corner in the corner of the yard."

"Okay." Tuantuan responded and flew to Xinxin's side, then took the two children and left.

The two children followed Tuantuan to the side and saw that the previously bare ground had been transformed into a variety of play equipment. After setting up the play equipment suitable for children, Tuantuan went to Xinxin and Beibei:

"Let's play!"

Seeing the play facilities that appeared and hearing Tuantuan's words, Xinxin and Beibei happily ran over.

Seeing her two daughters' happy faces, Kong Yunhua thanked Qi Yun and began to carefully select books, while Qi Huan went home to prepare fruit and water for everyone to eat.

Qi Yun sat at the table and began designing her children's playground. First, she placed the playground at the very back of the convenience store. The partition between the playground and the convenience store was made of a single piece of explosion-proof glass with some small decorations. The door was made of solid wood. Inside the door, on the left side, in the same position as the convenience store counter outside, there was a relatively low counter. This counter had three tiers of varying heights. The lowest tier was specially designed so that younger children could sit there. The highest tier had a scanner installed to record customer identities and children's care times.

Walking along the counter leads to the study corner, which features a floor-to-ceiling bookcase that runs along the entire wall. To the right of the bookcase is a lower bookcase against the wall. The floor of the study corner is covered with a carpet. Apart from the bookcase, there are tables and chairs of different heights and sizes, so you can sit on the floor or on a chair.

To the right of the learning corner is the play area. Both areas are separated by glass partitions, allowing adults to see their children. The play area is also carpeted, allowing children to play freely.

Further inside the play area is a temporary rest area. The two areas are again separated by large glass panels. The rest area floor is carpeted, as the previous two areas were carpeted, and it wouldn't be good to have to put on shoes further in, especially since this is for resting. The rest area is simply designed, with some small beds arranged like space capsules. There are curtains instead of doors, as there are children of all ages, and it wouldn't be good if a very young child accidentally locked themselves out. The rest area also has two washrooms, one for men and one for women, each with a toilet and changing room. The changing room has many lockers of varying heights to accommodate children of different ages, and each locker provides a comfortable set of cotton pajamas and quality toiletries for the children resting there.

After completing the design, Qi Yun sent it to Kong Yunhua:

"Brother Kong, take a look, is this okay?"

"Okay, boss, I'll take a look right away."

"Okay, if there's anything that's not right, let me know and I'll change it."

"Hmm, I think we could add some more greenery, and in the play area, we could add a shelf with plush toys and other toys on it. Then, we could decorate the walls of the entire children's playground with some paintings or encouraging words. That should be about right," Kong Yunhua said as he looked around.

"Okay, I understand." Then Qi Yun added what Kong Yunhua had said and clicked the confirm button to start modifying the convenience store. It took an hour to complete the modification of the children's playground in the convenience store.

Seeing that the children's playground was finished, Qi Yun spoke to the people in the yard:

"Let's go check out the newly renovated convenience store."

"Yes, boss," Zhao Wenzhi and Kong Wenhua replied in unison.

"Boss, wait a moment, I'll go call Qi Huan, Xin Xin, and Bei Bei," Kong Yunhua said, standing up.

"No need, I'll have Tuantuan call them." With that, Qiyun called Tuantuan through the system.

"Alright, they'll be here soon." As soon as Qi Yun finished speaking, Xin Xin and Bei Bei ran over, with Qi Yun following behind.

Upon seeing the arrival of the people, Qi Yun spoke:

"Let's go." After saying that, he got up and walked out of the courtyard.
