"Although I am a boy, I have many advantages."

"I'm a high school student, I'm physically strong, and I'll be very efficient at my work."

"Moreover, I scored 650 points on the college entrance exam, which makes me a high achiever. I have strong learning abilities and can learn things very quickly."

"You see, I believe I can quickly get the hang of these tasks, such as cleaning and serving food, and I'm sure I can do them just as well as others."

"Take a look at my appearance. I wouldn't say I'm handsome, but I'm not bad looking. Maybe I can even attract some female diners."

"Auntie, my family is poor, and we're almost starving. Please give me a chance."

As Tao Hao spoke, he looked at Chen Xiumei with expectant eyes, as if she had grasped at the last straw.

He rarely speaks the truth.

Hearing these words, Chen Xiumei's originally firm resolve began to waver.

She pondered for a moment, then sighed softly, thinking that the restaurant had indeed been too busy lately.

With a large number of customers visiting every day, the workload of cleaning is enormous, and there is a shortage of cleaning staff.

Originally, it was his younger brother's maid classmates who were doing the cleaning part-time, and girls are ultimately a bit less strong.

Why don't we let this young man give it a try first? Maybe he can really bring some new energy to the job.

Chen Xiumei looked at Tao Hao, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, and said, "Alright, we're just short one cleaner here. Would you be willing to do it?"

"30 yuan a month, paid daily."

Upon hearing this, Tao Hao felt a surge of dissatisfaction.

He frowned, thinking to himself: This salary is too low, and I still have to support my family.

But then I thought about it again and realized that apart from being a little handsome and having decent grades, I really didn't have any other skills.

Moreover, there aren't many job opportunities right now, and there aren't any better options at the moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Tao Hao comforted himself: Let's just keep doing it, it's better than having no money at all.

So Tao Hao nodded and reluctantly agreed.

Chen Xiumei then said, "Let me make this clear from the start: I'll give you a one-day trial period, and you'll be paid for that day. But if you don't perform well, you don't need to come back tomorrow."

Tao Hao nodded quickly, a determined look on his face, indicating that he understood.

Then, Chen Xiumei called over Aunt Liu and said, "Sister Liu, get some tools for this young man and explain the basic rules of the shop to him."

Aunt Liu smiled and responded, then turned and quickly walked towards the storage room.

A little while later, Aunt Liu came over with cleaning tools such as a broom, mop, and rag, and handed them to Tao Hao.

Aunt Liu said with a smile, "Young man, you don't need to clean the changing room and the kitchen. It's a place where girls change clothes, and it's not appropriate for a boy like you to go there."

"And the chefs in the kitchen don't like others touching their things, so you need to clean every other place on these three floors."

"The floor must be mopped until it shines like a mirror; the tables and chairs must also be wiped clean, without a single stain; the trash must be emptied promptly, and the trash cans must be emptied when they are full."

"do you understand?"

Tao Hao took the tools and gripped them tightly, as if he were grasping an opportunity to change his destiny.

He nodded and said, "Understood, Auntie. Don't worry, I will do my best."

After saying that, he picked up his tools and started working in the shop.

He started by cleaning the lobby on the first floor, carefully sweeping the floor and not missing any corner.

After sweeping, he diligently mopped the floor, sweat gradually seeping from his forehead and sliding down his cheeks, but he did not slack off in the slightest.

Then, he went to the dining table and carefully wiped the table and chairs, checking from time to time to make sure there were no missed spots.

The next morning, the sunlight, like a golden veil, gently bathed the streets and alleys of Nanjiang County, bringing endless vitality to the city.

Chen Dong, Chu Mengran, Guo Miao, Yu Qin, Shen Yue and their group walked towards the bustling Donglai Hotel in a relaxed and cheerful mood.

Their steps were light and powerful, as if carrying anticipation for a new day.

As soon as you step into the store, a warm and lively atmosphere greets you.

Chen Dong's eldest sister, Chen Xiumei, had arrived at the store early and was intently organizing the items at the front desk.

Her movements were skillful and efficient, and her eyes revealed a sense of professionalism and seriousness.

Chen Dong wore a gentle smile, a smile as warm and welcoming as a spring breeze.

He stepped forward first and said in a loud and energetic voice, "Good morning, big sister!"

The voice seemed to have a magical power, instantly making the surrounding atmosphere more harmonious.

Chu Mengran blinked her clear, bright eyes, which sparkled with a lively light.

With a pure and innocent smile, her voice as clear and melodious as a mountain spring, she said, "Good morning, big sister! You look radiant today!"

Every word she spoke seemed to carry the sweet taste of candy, instantly lifting one's spirits.

Guo Miao scratched his head, a simple and honest smile spreading across his face.

His round figure and slightly shy expression made people feel an irresistible urge to get close to him.

Guo Miao said in a deep voice, "Good morning, eldest sister!"

Although his voice was somewhat deep, it was full of sincerity and simplicity.

Yu Qin, like a lively little rabbit, hopped and skipped over to Chen Xiumei.

She smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into crescent shapes: "Big sister, good morning! Did you miss me?"

Shen Yue nodded slightly, maintaining her aloof expression, but said softly, "Good morning."

After exchanging greetings, Chu Mengran, Yu Qin, and Shen Yue walked together toward the changing room.

Their steps were light and cheerful, and they occasionally burst into laughter.

As they walked, they chatted about their recent life experiences, their cheerful laughter echoing through the hotel corridor.

Guo Miao then skillfully took an apron from the side and gently tied it around her waist.

The color of his apron perfectly complemented his honest and simple personality.

He walked to a table, sat down, and began to carefully select the vegetables.

When he was at home, Guo Miao often helped his parents with these preparations. Although his skills were not superb, his movements were very practiced.

His fingers deftly moved among the vegetable leaves, his eyes focused and attentive, as if he were handling a precious work of art.

Not long after, the other 28 female students also arrived at Donglai Hotel one after another.

They lined up, laughing and joking, and entered the changing room one by one.

The locker room was filled with laughter and conversation as people changed clothes and shared their recent life experiences.

A short while later, they all came out dressed in neat maid outfits.

The exquisite maid outfits accentuated their slender figures, and their hairstyles were perfectly styled.
