Chapter 54 Part-time job finalized
"Working hours are arranged every Friday and Saturday from 6pm to 9pm, and Sunday from 3pm to 9pm. Do you have any problems with this working hours?" Liu Xiaoting asked Chen Chufan.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the hot weather in City W brought excellent business to the Deka Ice Cream Hall. Not only was the bar crowded, but more than ten double tables placed in the store were also crowded. Fortunately, the two of them came early and occupied one of them.
"No problem, there are no classes at all!" Chen Chufan nodded and responded.
"Your salary is tentatively 100 yuan per hour. If customers order designated songs during your working hours, we charge 500 yuan per song. You can get 200 yuan and 300 yuan to join the club. Are there any problems?" Liu Xiaoting asked again.
"What if I can't play the designated tracks ordered by the customer?" Chen Chufan said with some trepidation. He was very satisfied with the salary, but it seemed that he could play a few songs.
"If there is a piano score, can you play it proficiently? I mean without special practice!" Liu Xiaoting asked back when she heard Chen Chufan's question.
"If it weren't for a particularly difficult song, I wouldn't have a big problem." Chen Chufan still had this confidence. After a month of music theory learning, Chen Chufan was already familiar with the piano score. With his current super fast reaction, he would really have the confidence to get it as long as he had the music score.
"Then you don't have to worry. The club's piano scores are prepared very well. They are all pure piano scores, pop music, classical folk songs, etc." Liu Xiaoting continued to explain.
After listening to Liu Xiaoting's explanation, Chen Chufan nodded and said, "Well, that's fine! The work location is a little farther away."
This is the only place that Chen Chufan criticized. The Qingshuiwan Club where you work is located on the Yangtze River. It takes two trains from the school. It is estimated that it takes 2 hours, and it takes four hours to go back and forth, which is too delayed.
"Well, you can just call me when you go to work. The transportation fee club will pay you a real reimbursement, that's fine!" Liu Xiaoting said after thinking for a moment.
Chen Chufan didn't expect that he would get benefits from his casual words, so he felt a little embarrassed. He quickly opened his mouth to thank him: "Then thank Aunt Liu."
"Okay, that's it. But it's better for you to arrive at the club two hours in advance on Friday, sign a contract, send you work clothes, and you also have to practice with other musicians in the club, so that you can have a sense of tacit understanding!" Liu Xiaoting concluded at the end.
"Uh? Will you all your own band?" Chen Chufan was a little surprised.
"Of course, sometimes there are singers in the club. Without their own band, how can others sing!" Liu Xiaoting explained at the big boy with a surprised look on her face.
"So that's how it is!" Chen Chufan thought he was playing solo.
"Okay, then we'll see you on Friday. You can just call me directly. Remember to ask the driver for the invoice, otherwise the fare will not be reimbursed!" Liu Xiaoting reminded him at the end.
"Thank you, Aunt Liu, then I'll go back to school first!" Chen Chufan thanked Liu Xiaoting again seriously and prepared to say goodbye. He is very happy now. His salary alone is 1,200 yuan in a week. Not only can he get rid of poverty and become rich, but he can also mail it to his family part to help the family reduce the burden. It's so perfect. He is eager to share this good news with his parents and friends.
"Okay, go back first! Remember to arrive early on Friday!" Liu Xiaoting finally instructed.
Chen Chufan, who was a little excited, ran into the first telephone booth on the way back to his dormitory and was about to report good news to his parents. Speaking of which, Chen Chufan has been a good and obedient child since he was a child. Even during the rebellious period, he came here so often and never caused any trouble to his family. Even if he had caused any trouble, Chen Chufan never wanted to let his family know.
"Hey, who?" My mother's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mom, it's me!" Chen Chufan replied softly. Chen Chufan has never been a sentimental person. But every time he talks with his phone, he will unconsciously think of the small mountain city in City S, and he can't help but let out a lighter voice.
"Fanfan, is there anything wrong? Is it because of insufficient living expenses?" the mother asked with concern.
This may be a common problem for boys. They always don’t like to call home frequently, but they call more at home to the dormitory. As long as they call home, they usually ask for living expenses. Chen Chufan is not immune to the common sense. So every time he calls home on his own initiative, his family will always ask the same question. Although the family is not rich and can even be described as poverty, if Chen Chufan really asks, his parents have never been stingy.
"No, mom! I have good news to tell you that I have found a part-time job at school and I can earn about 3,000 yuan a month! You don't have to pay for living expenses in the future! I can support myself. I guess I don't have to worry about my tuition fees." Chen Chufan said happily.
But he didn't expect that his mother was not as happy as he thought, but her tone was full of worry.
"Fanfan, what can you make so much money by doing as a student? It won't be illegal, right? I tell you that although your family is a little poor, it's still okay to support you in school. You can't lose your big fortune because of a small amount!"
"Mom, where do you want to go? Do I seem to be someone who can do illegal things?" Chen Chufan said helplessly. He could not understand that it was a good thing, but why did he only make his mother feel worried. However, this also reminded him that he seemed to think of a suitable reason to explain how much money he could make. Say he was going to play the piano for others? His family is not a roommate in the dormitory and could fool him casually. He had never touched such an instrument since he was a child, and he could suddenly make money from it. I guess they would not believe it, but would be even more worried.
As for Mingyan who has become a genius now, they probably will be even more worried.
"Then what can you make so much money?" Sure enough, his mother asked this question.
Fortunately, Chen Chufan's head is turning quickly now and has already found a reason for himself: "Didn't I get a first-class scholarship this semester? A classmate of mine helped me contact several part-time jobs in tutors. I'm very valuable, and I'm 50 yuan per hour!"
"Oh? How many tutors do you? Would you be too tired?" The mother still didn't seem to be completely relieved.
It was not until Chen Chufan tried his best and took ten minutes to relieve his mother. When he hung up the phone, Chen Chufan even let out a long sigh, and the excitement he had just passed away. He even felt a little heavy. If his family knew about his current strange state, what would he be worried about? Chen Chufan was a little afraid to think about it.
Or just keep hiding it, Chen Chufan thought along the way until he walked into the dormitory.
Chen Chufan really felt like he was a big shot and was always missed. Before he could tell the two of him that he had found a very good part-time job, Yang Tao grabbed him and complained.
"Last brother, where have you gone? If you don't come back, I'll go to the TV station to broadcast the missing person notice! You are indispensable for dinner today! Next time you encounter this situation, you must ask me for leave!" Yang Tao said firmly.
Chen Chufan looked at Yang Tao for no reason, what is essential? Is he a prop? Besides, it's only about four o'clock now, so it's time to eat? Doesn't it usually take until six o'clock to eat? What makes Chen Chufan even more inexplicable is that even the boss Meng Wei agrees with Yang Tao's words very much.
"The second brother is right. Third brother, you are too unorganized and disciplined, so you need to change it!"
"Where are you making a fuss? Isn't it just a meal? As for the excuse?!" Chen Chufan really felt a little amused. What a big deal, is it? What's more, he doesn't seem to be late.
However, Chen Chufan did not choose to reason with the two. He simply kept silent and let the two perform their best. It was obvious that whether it was Yang Tao or Meng Wei, who had already burned his head because of the spring, would never be a role that would reason with him.
After the two of them finished criticizing, Chen Chufan said, "Okay, I know I was wrong. To apologize, I can do this meal today. Today I found a part-time job, and the salary is good, so I just thought it was a celebration."
"What part-time job? Let's talk about it, brother will help you check if you are a liar!" Yang Tao asked curiously.
"Being a pianist in a club is 100 yuan in salary per hour! You can arrange about 10 hours of working hours a week, mainly focusing on weekends!" Chen Chufan briefly introduced.
"Okay, you! Third brother, you're amazing. Isn't you able to earn a thousand yuan in that week? You'll get rid of poverty and become rich directly!" Yang Tao congratulated happily.
"It should have been like this long ago." Meng Wei continued, "I did this earlier, your Wang Linlin probably wouldn't be willing to break up with you!"
Meng Wei's words made Chen Chufan feel confused. If it weren't for that love breakup, would he still be like this now? Or would everything be fate?
"Okay, there's nothing to mention what that woman is doing, it's disgusting!" Yang Tao said quickly when he saw Chen Chufan, and glared at Meng Wei as he said. Since Yang Tao started training Meng Wei, he has become increasingly rude to his boss.
Meng Wei also knew that he had said the wrong thing and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It was Chen Chufan who recovered and smiled, saying that he didn't care.
"By the way, I promised to invite Han Xiaoxi and his friends to have dinner together in the dormitory. I haven't invited you yet, so why not invite you together!" Chen Chufan said lightly.
Chapter completed!
