Most of the dive shops are individual travelers who have not made an appointment. Sometimes they are busy and sometimes idle. When encountering a large number of guests, all staff must be dispatched. Chen Jiajun also has to handle all kinds of supplies in the store, often driving a pickup truck to and from the town and the dive shop. Ye Fei stayed to watch the store alone, and also helped to receive customers who came to consult, but Chen Jiajun repeatedly urged that things he didn't understand could not be said nonsense. She is cautious in her words, but if she is not sure, she will tell the customer frankly: "I don't know about this, and wait for the coach to come back to help you answer."
Ye Fei has organized the inside and outside of the dive shop in an orderly manner, cleaned normally every day, and not much work at hand, so she occasionally helped Wanpeng carry gas cylinders or help Wenka push the boat. It was too cumbersome to run between the beach and the dive shop, switching between shoes and barefoot mode, so she followed other employees and walked around barefoot. Occasionally there are stones and broken corals at the bottom of the water, and they grinned with pain when they stepped on them accidentally. Wanpeng smiled and said, "If you don't have local feet, don't imitate the locals."
"Aren't you doing it a little bit?" Ye Fei bends his arms, revealing slightly protruding biceps, "Look, I'm much better than when I first came! I can already hold a gas cylinder with one hand." Chen Jiajun walked past them and glanced at Ye Fei disdainfully, seeming to look down on her insignificant muscles, but he didn't say anything like "I didn't let you touch it."
After she was busy in the store, customers had long regarded her as a formal staff member. Someone came to dive in the store on the first day. After returning, they disassembled the equipment and called to Ye Fei to ask her where to clean it.
Ye Fei pointed the direction, and at a glance, he found that the customer had not put on the dust cap. This was the reason why Wanpeng was scolded a few days ago. She couldn't help reminding: "Well, be careful not to get into the water, your..." Before finishing speaking, she heard Chen Jiajun's cold voice: "Don't be a good teacher, that's not your duty."
"I'm helping you avoid losses." Ye Fei curled his lips. "If you are kind enough to pay, you just don't care!"
Chen Jiajun looked at her condescendingly. The two were facing each other. They only heard a "plop". The customer had already thrown the breathing regulator into the bucket. Ye Fei hurriedly rushed over and fished it up. Chloe said that the small metal head above is worth hundreds of dollars. Although it is not her own money, it can't be so bad. She is too diligent and thrifty now.
The Frowning Boss also came over, took the adjuster, and frowned. Similar incidents happen from time to time, and the other people in the store are not nervous, they are busy with their own things. After sending the students away, Chloe took out the square cookie box from behind the counter and greeted everyone to sit down at the table: "KC will do it, he is qualified for equipment maintenance."
Chen Jiajun lowered his face and said, "You are not allowed to eat in my shop! Will recruit ants."
"Don't worry, we will wipe it clean."
"I want to fix the first-level head, I have to use that table!" He had a tough tone, but unfortunately there was no deterrent. Ye Fei leaned back and wanted to stand up, but everyone turned a deaf ear to it and sat back on the chair again. Even Scar pointed to the small wooden table in the corner and said, "It's empty over there."
Chen Jiajun stopped talking, walked angrily to the side, put down the water regulator, went to the equipment room to take the tools, and pointed to Ye Fei when he came out: "You, don't eat first, come and help."
"It's tea time now." Chloe pressed Ye Fei's shoulder and said with a grin, "Don't worry, we bought it with a tip, and the boss can't control it."
Scar is still concise and concise: "Eat first."
Without saying a word, Chen Jiajun went to the backyard and took the cylinder to blow-dry the regulator, spread out a piece of clean cotton cloth, and unloaded it. Scar ate two biscuits, took his own regulator, and walked over to sit down beside Chen Jiajun: "I will clean up my own too."
It happened that two of his students came over and asked: "Coach, can we take the final exam now?"
Chen Jiajun waved his hand: "Go ahead, I'll help you."
Chloe chuckled, "I have mine, and I want to take care of it. It's hard boss."
Wanpeng walked around from the equipment room and held up two regulators: "Ah, customers complained these days that these two are not very useful, do you want to check it..."
Chen Jiajun glared at him: "Do it all for me, then what do you need to do?"
Wan Peng rubbed aside and defended: "The coach said it was an exam anyway, so I should also do two chapters of practice questions."
After Ye Fei had eaten the biscuits, he went to the sink and took a rag, intending to wipe off the debris on the tabletop. Turning around, he met Chen Jiajun's gaze. He glared at Ye Fei ferociously: "It's all your fault!"
She couldn't laugh or cry: "I wanted to remind you, OK?"
Chloe tugged at her cuff: "That's right, he needs a lesson."
Chen Jiajun gritted his teeth: "Chloe, are you my employee? Believe it or not, I fire you!"
"If we are like this, the boss won't be angry, right?" Ye Fei whispered to Chloe's ear.
"I said earlier that the boss is just pretending to be cool." Chloe blinked. "The island can be boring sometimes. We need some entertainment, right."
Ye Fei nodded. Sure enough, all reactionaries are paper tigers.
Chloe suggested: "Since the shop is so busy, some things can be left to Faey to deal with, let her answer some questions from customers, help with registration, test equipment, and reserve space."
"You call the shots, do you still need to ask me?" Chen Jiajun held an octopus-like adjuster, with four or five seats around him, piled up with a seat, and he murmured, "I don't think all of them are I Boss, I am the shop slave now."
Chloe asked Ye Fei: "Can you understand the schedule on the whiteboard?" She explained in detail that on the table are the destinations of different ships at each time period, and the cells that were on board at the time were written. The black is the coach, the blue is the student, and the green is the certified diver. "Each store has its own way, but they are similar." She explained in detail some frequently asked questions by customers. It happened that Wanpeng finished the topic and followed the knife. Behind Scar, came out of the classroom, and several other employees also came up. You say a word to me, and evaluate Ye Fei with all kinds of problems encountered in daily work.
Employee A: "Is there a toilet on your ship?"
Ye Fei: "No."
"Then how is it convenient for me? Can you stop at the deserted beach?"
"Uh, I have to ask the boss..."
Employee B: "Can you see sharks at Shark Point?"
Ye Fei: "I can't guarantee this."
"Then why is it called this name? Will it be refunded if you can't see it?"
"Uh, I have to ask the boss..."
Employee C: "This set of equipment is too long. Give me a new one."
Ye Fei: "Okay, the ones with the right numbers are here. You can pick one."
"Ah, there is no color I like. What about that set? That set is good."
"Oh, that's the coach."
"Can I borrow it? I really don't like my own set."
"Uh, sorry, I have to ask the boss..."
The boss has been immersed in cleaning the breathing regulator, turning a deaf ear to it.
Chloe smiled: "Don't listen to them, most customers are very reasonable. I don't think you have any problems."
Scar also nodded: "Well, you can."
Everyone looked at Chen Jiajun together. It took him a long time before he raised his head: "Look at what I do? I didn't listen to anything. You have already decided. I'm just a shop slave."
The sky will be late, the sky is covered with golden red clouds, as the setting sun slowly sinks into the sea, the sky gradually fades into a light rose red, and the silhouettes of a row of coconut trees decorate the long coastline. After the day's work, everyone went to eat. Two blue and white ceiling lamps lit up in the porch. Chen Jiajun was still sitting in the corner, repairing his equipment without saying a word.
"I'm going to eat rice noodles. Would you like to bring you a bowl with chicken feet or char siu?" Ye Fei sat down beside him, "It's better than instant noodles."
"Are you rich?" Chen Jiajun looked her up and down.
"It's enough for a meal of rice noodles." Ye Fei slapped two coins on the table. "I didn't plan to invite you either. I will pay for each.
He snorted: "Stingy."
"Thanks to your gift, the one who is near Zhu is red, and the one near Mo is black." She picked up the toothbrush on the table, "What is this for, do you need my help?"
He pointed to the parts in front of him: "These, brush them carefully. Don't throw them away, you won't be able to use them if you lose one set. Then they will be charged to your account."
Ye Fei laughed aloud: "Look at me. You are also good to me."
"I'm already very polite to you!"
"Okay, I know." Ye Fei picked up the toothbrush and carefully brushed the accessories in the small bowl, "I don't understand anything, you still want me to work in the store."
"Huh, I'm afraid you're in the bar, drink up my wine, corpse the streets."
"Hey, it's not that scary."
"Do you think this is heaven? Inquire, how many people are missing from the Full moon party?" Chen Jiajun glanced at her, "If you are my sister, see if I don't lock you up."
"When your sister really has no personal freedom..." Ye Fei curled his lips, "fortunately I am not."
"Well, luckily you are not." Chen Jiajun waved his hand, "Go eat your rice noodles, don't bother me."
Ye Fei got up: "If you don't add chaos, then I'm leaving."
He yelled to her again: "If there are customers who usually come and ask you those tricky questions in the afternoon, just let them go to another dive shop."
Didn't he say he didn't listen? Ye Fei said in surprise: "Boss, I thought I offended customers so much, you would let me go."
"Customers are not all gods. I will try my best to protect employees when they are provoked."
Ye Fei came back to his senses and asked happily: "Staff? Do you think I am qualified?"
"What do you think?"
"There is still a gap, you have to work harder." She tried to be humble.
He nodded: "It's pretty self-knowing."
Ye Fei worked hard and came first every day; if it weren't for the owner who always loves the night watch shop, he would definitely be the latest. Who made her penniless (so poor that only two hundred dollars are left, but the ownership no longer belongs to her), let alone go clubbing, passing by the fruit stall several times, and seeing the mangosteen, she can only swallow. One day Zheng Yunchang passed by the shop and saw the busy Ye Fei. He admired: "A Fei is very smart and diligent. He has only been here for a few days and he has done a good job."
Chen Jiajun replied: "Where and where, you still need to adjust."
Ye Fei stared at him, you became humble.
Zheng Yunchang sighed: "I regret it, can I return her to the bar?"
Chen Jiajun shook his head: "Let the tiger go back to the mountain."
"Why don't I go to the bar to help at night? I can also make more money." Ye Fei tentatively looked at Chen Jiajun, "There will also be very busy."
"Do you have time?" He leaned over, "It's better to do more meaningful things."
She wondered: "If you think the hidden shop is more meaningful, why should you invest in opening a bar? Just to make money?"
Zheng Yunchang smiled and said, "Because he drinks too much, he can't afford it, so it's better to start one by himself."
Ye Fei teased him: "It is emptiness and alcohol that will defeat you."
Chen Jiajun's face was stern: "Are you brave? You need an inch."
Zheng Yunchang finished the game: "Walk, go to Monkey Bar, today I will pay the bill."
Ye Fei was a little moved, but also a little guilty, looking back at Chen Jiajun inquiringly. He raised her eyebrows, and she withdrew back and sat at the table again: "Thank you, I still...not going."
Zheng Yunchang smiled and shook his head: "Look at you, scared the little girl like this. You are her boss, not her father."
Ye Fei is not afraid of Chen Jiajun. Everyone in the store obeys him on major issues, and usually jokes with him. If at the beginning of the acquaintance, his attitude was tough and arrogant and daunting, then now his threatening words have no binding force on her. Ye Fei's fear and hostility towards him has faded, and the reason why he didn't go to Monkey Bar was not because he was afraid he would hinder him. But she felt that she didn't seem to be so greedy, and she didn't need to deliberately find someone to chat to fill the huge void in her heart. In comparison, documentaries about the ocean and various diving magazines in the store are more attractive. It was a wonderful and magnificent new world, with no deception, no betrayal, no endless pain.
She is busy in the dive shop, responding to various questions from customers, receiving praise and smiles every day, and often forgets her purpose of coming to the island. The little book with must-dos was stuffed in a corner of the backpack, and I haven't read it for many days.
This season was originally the local dry season, but it rained heavily at night for two consecutive days. Some dive sites close to the land were slightly affected, and the visibility decreased slightly. The dive shop arranges customers to go to dive sites far offshore, and the speedboat takes nearly an hour to drive one way. On this day, Chen Jiajun went to town to buy fuel for speedboats. When he returned, he unloaded seven or eight large oil drums from the car without Ye Fei's help. She bought seafood fried rice, Chen Jiajun ate it, and went to the shower at the back to take a shower.
Ye Fei chewed slowly, sorted the tableware of the two people, and brought them to Joy's. Inda said that Joy's also has disposable plastic lunch boxes, but Chen Jiajun doesn't like to use them. In the past, when the shop was busy, there was no one to buy lunch. You had to send someone to the restaurant after the dining peak. Since Ye Fei came to help, his meal time has been guaranteed.
Ye Fei wanted to say, I'm the girl at the landlord's house. How did she say this sentence in English, she couldn't remember for a while, so she could only relay the original words of the boss, shop slave. Fortunately, Joy's has first-class milkshakes. Like the dishes, the shop staff can enjoy a 50% discount. Since it is all bookkeeping, there is no need to worry about biting when there are more lice. Ye Fei doesn't care how much money is spent every day. After returning the dishes at noon every day, he orders a milkshake and chats with the restaurant staff for ten minutes.
At this moment, she was walking on the road, wondering whether she would like to drink another mango smoothie, coconut, pineapple, or passion fruit. This choice was too difficult, she wanted to get absorbed, and almost bumped into the oncoming passers-by.
Ye Fei quickly stepped away and found Songxi in front of her. If it were the past, he would have yelled Ye Fei’s name from afar, and greeted her with a smile, but today Songxi looked desperate and almost bumped into her before flashing, barely squeezing out a smile, his throat squeezed. Say "Hi". I didn't say much else, and walked towards the Monkey Bar with a sorrowful expression.
Ye Fei didn't think about it either, only when he was drunk yesterday and his hangover was still unclear. It wasn't until he entered Joy's that the atmosphere was a bit weird. The low pressure just spread from the beach to the restaurant. Inda walked over to greet her and took the cutlery; however, Jasmine, who was smiling every day, stood dullly at the counter, holding a stack of ordering menus, and cracking down on the calculator. She drooped the corner of her mouth, unable to tell whether she was aggrieved or annoyed. She pressed the keys very hard, as if she was about to poke a hole in the desktop.
Ye Fei remembered Song Xi's punishing expression, there must be a connection between the two. She looked at Jasmine, her lips curled, and she felt that her tongue shouldn't be too long, asking about other people's private affairs. Inda misunderstood her intentions, pulled her by the skirt, dragged her aside, and whispered: "Jasmine just quarreled with Songxi, it's better not to talk to her first."
Ye Fei nodded: "I saw Songxi on the way."
"He got into trouble again. When Jasmine went to apply for a visa a few days ago, he actually hooked up with other women."
Hook up with other women, is it yourself? Ye Fei's scalp numb for a while, feeling helpless. She was not ready yet, and turned into a gossip talk in others' mouths. When she opened her mouth, she heard her own voice stammering: "Wh, what woman?"
"Switzerland is from Sweden, I didn't hear clearly... It seems to be playing a game in a bar, Songxi kissed her. Jasmine just heard a friend say."
Ye Fei sighed, feeling a layer of sweat on her forehead, she wiped it with the back of her hand: "This kind of game is better not to play."
