“We famous witches all work at the Witch’s Tavern, firstly because the pay is so high, and secondly because it gives us a great deal of freedom.”
"But it's not so bad for us witches who were only nominally affiliated later. The ones who really have it tough are the ones who were invested in by the tavern from the time they were little witches. They're not just nominally affiliated; they're actually working here."
At this point, Gu Qingci looked at Jiang Kehan with a slight smile, as she was fully aware of the other party's potential.
"If Kehan is interested, I can be your introducer. The benefits and salary at the Witch's Tavern are top-notch."
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but look at Li Hui, and was somewhat tempted after seeing him nod.
Gu Qingci is a veteran in the Duel Witches. Although she has never won a Duel Tournament championship, her opinions are still very reliable.
However, Jiang Kehan was somewhat concerned about the time.
Like Gu Qingci, the Duel Witch would rather spend her time on arduous training than rest, let alone work.
They're just short of money.
"I'm quite interested in what the specific procedures are for starting work."
Gu Qingci looked slightly embarrassed, and her tone was somewhat uncertain.
"I don't know, after all, I was just dragged here to make a show of things."
Uh... Jiang Kehan looked at the other person with a bit of suffocation, not knowing what they were talking to her about.
"However, Kehan, the Witch's Tavern is known as a gathering place for witches' stars, so you won't be disappointed."
Gu Qingci stood up and walked towards the counter, waving to the two people without turning her head.
"The employees here are all witches with great potential. Not just anyone can join. Come on, let me ask for you."
Chapter 136 Are you going to sell alcohol too?
The lighting at the counter was dim, but the witch was still very perceptive to changes in her surroundings. Like a sleeping witch raising her head, her tone was somewhat lazy.
"What's wrong, Qingci? Is something the matter? You know I've been very busy lately, and I finally get to sleep for a while."
She smiled slightly, her expression softening.
"Lai Ruoxin, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Kehan, a little devil with unlimited potential."
Gu Qingci pushed Jiang Kehan from behind to in front of him, while Li Hui curiously looked at the tired witch.
The other person was wearing a light blue coat, the style of which was similar to a white lab coat, which looked very elegant, but their eyes were slightly closed, and upon closer inspection, one could see slight dark circles under their eyes.
Jiang Kehan bowed slightly to the other person with some restraint; she was not very good at dealing with this kind of intellectual older sister.
"Um, it's nice to meet you. I'd like to inquire about the requirements and benefits of working at the Witch's Tavern."
Ruoxin propped her face up with a kind smile, comforting the somewhat nervous Jiang Kehan.
"Was it someone Gu Qingci introduced? Miss Kehan seems quite remarkable."
She covered her mouth and added mischievously, "This is the famous 'walking on thin ice' lady; being all talk and no action is her norm."
Ruoxin's comment about being ambitious but lacking practical skills wasn't meant literally, but rather as a joke about Gu Qingci.
Gu Qingci's most classic duel, and the one that brought him closest to winning the city-level duel championship, was when his opponent temporarily transformed into the Great Witch.
Before her opponent broke through, she had already popped champagne and declared victory. If she had won, that would have been fine, but as everyone knows, she lost in the end.
So her haters recorded this scene, especially the two close-ups of Gu Qingci slightly raising her head while opening the champagne and her hand hanging down after the failure, which they put together.
It was widely circulated because of its strong artistic appeal.
Grab the bamboo shoots.
Jiang Kehan's nervousness dissipated considerably, and she chuckled softly, a little unladylike.
As long as we run Gu Qingci's group together, we're best friends.
Gu Qingci, her face dark, banged on the counter: "Stop messing around, sister, if you keep this up I'm going to break up your group buy."
"Cough." As if she had laughed enough, Ruoxin looked much more energetic and pretended to be serious as she looked at Jiang Kehan, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
"The Witch's Tavern's main business is actually selling alcohol, at least for a little witch like you."
“Our work schedule is very relaxed. We only need to work about two nights a week, but we get a basic salary every day. However, in return, we can’t take leave.”
Wow, is it really like working and getting paid in the void?
Jiang Kehan opened her mouth, her heart fluttering with excitement.
No wonder it's an investment; it's just selling wine...
Jiang Kehan's mind was filled with thoughts of selling alcohol, but she was genuinely interested and carefully inquired about the details.
"So, what exactly does selling alcohol entail?"
Ruoxin noticed Jiang Kehan's shyness, paused for a moment, then realized that the other party had misunderstood, and quickly waved her hand.
"Selling wine doesn't mean you have to accompany other witches and then have them buy wine from you."
Selling alcohol is more of a support measure for us. For example, Gu Qingci is the one representing us today, and she will receive a share of all the alcohol sold tonight.
Of course, Ms. Kehan cannot provide such benefits, but there is no need for her to personally promote them.
The tavern will advertise for you; if you're good enough, witches will call out your name when buying drinks, just like fans support their idols.
After all, there's no extra charge regardless of whose name you use.
I understand now; signing up is actually a perk that comes with buying the wine.
However, as long as the employees of the Witch's Tavern are famous, given the witches' general admiration for strength, they will actually buy a lot of alcohol for this benefit to support and invest in the employees they favor.
Moreover, the wine in the tavern can be stored, so it can't be considered a waste.
And just like with celebrities, if there are witches of high enough "status" like Gu Qingci every day, the number of customers will naturally increase.
"How much of the base salary and the commission from alcohol sales will I receive? And are the two nights a week fixed times?"
After pondering for a while, Jiang Kehan made a decision.
She has nothing but plenty of time, and besides, she already spends her free time taking on part-time jobs, isn't it all for the money?
Having a stable income would be much better, and given her past life experience, she doesn't mind not being able to take leave—as long as you pay her enough.
Most importantly, she only needs to work two nights a week, which doesn't take much time. With this addition and subtraction, she actually has more time to improve herself!
As for whether she can gain support, Jiang Kehan is quite confident in herself.
"The basic salary is around 100 witch gold per day, but the main income comes from the tavern points and the share of alcohol sales, which are settled monthly."
Ruoxin casually pointed to Gu Qingci's bottle of bitter wine.
"Although not everyone can drink wine worth 100,000 witch gold like Gu Qingci, wines priced in the hundreds to thousands are quite common, and our commission is 30% of the original price."
"As for the hours, we have fixed working hours, but you decide which day of the week you are responsible for, and you can change it once a month."
sizzle!
Jiang Kehan gasped so hard she nearly turned into a cobra; her heart couldn't take it anymore.
But she suddenly froze, turned around to look at the bottle of wine with a click, and closed her eyes.
Um, Gu Qingci, I promise I won't say anything bad about you anymore. Could you please replace the wine in my glass with Witch Gold?
Wow! Although this wine is indeed delicious, in Jiang Kehan's eyes, Witch Gold is still better!
That cup of mine cost several thousand dollars; it could buy so many ice creams.
Her pitiful little eyes made the three of them both laugh and cry.
"There's no need to take Witch Gold too seriously. For a mid-level witch, earning nearly ten thousand Witch Gold a month is quite easy."
Gu Qingci put his hands in his pockets and explained to Jiang Kehan.
"Actually, what attracted me to the Witch's Tavern was the tavern points inside, which are like the official points given to witches in this country, although the spells that can be exchanged are fewer than those of the Witch's Mechanism."
But it's more than enough for us.
Jiang Kehan slammed her hand on the counter and spoke in a firm and resounding tone.
"Where's the contract? I'll sign it right now!"
Starting today, I'm joining the wine-selling business, and nobody can stop me—she's offering just too much; it's hard not to be tempted.
Li Hui gently tapped Jiang Kehan's head and spoke with a smile.
"There's no rush. Besides, Miss Ruoxin isn't the owner of the tavern; she's an employee."
Hmm, Ruoxin looked at Li Hui with some curiosity. She was certain that she had never met him before, so how did Li Hui know that she wasn't the boss?
Does she know Miss Qin Luoyu?
Chapter 137 Qin Luoyu
"It looks like someone's talking about me."
A graceful witch emerged from the dressing room at the other end, glancing at the group with a slight smile.
She was like a rose in the morning dew, her allure tinged with innocence, her voice low, slightly deep and magnetic.
A fiery red robe was worn on her body, embroidered with a rose, beside which flames burned wildly. Under her control, it even appeared somewhat dignified.
"I guess it's you, my beautiful lady, isn't it?" She looked at Jiang Kehan and extended her hand, which was clad in a semi-transparent white silk stocking.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Qin Luoyu, the store manager here."
"Hello, my name is Jiang Kehan!" Jiang Kehan nervously wiped her hands before extending them, worried that the sweat on her hands would wet the other person's socks.
Qin Luoyu simply gave a light squeeze before withdrawing her hand. She squinted slightly, tilted her head to look at Gu Qingci, and subtly glanced at Jiang Kehan out of the corner of her eye.
It seemed she was asking Gu Qingci what exactly made Jiang Kehan worthy of her recommendation to join the Witch's Tavern.
Gu Qingci's face darkened. So you were hiding in the dressing room eavesdropping the whole time?
Despite Qin Luoyu's dignified appearance, in Gu Qingci's eyes, she was an absolute scoundrel.
The one that left the deepest impression on her was when the other party vaguely described the fan meeting as a thrilling witch's duel, and only told her the truth after she arrived at the venue.
"It's time for you to debut as an idol. I believe in you, Qingci."
And this is what that scoundrel said before.
"With cheers and witnesses from many people, you will once again showcase your brilliance and prove yourself with absolute strength."
"Your opponent is a seasoned witch whose strength should not be underestimated."
