She stared at the broom forcefully shoved into her hand and then at the girl who was scrubbing the table vigorously with a smile on her face.
She was at a loss for what to do.
She had never encountered such a situation before.
In He Zhilan’s past experiences, newcors were always the ones being bullied at work.
They were made to run errands, take care of nial chores, and do all the heavy, dirty, and tiring jobs that no one else wanted to do.
But she had never co across anyone eagerly volunteering to do the unpleasant tasks that others avoided.
On this cold winter day, everyone knew that tasks involving water weren’t on anyone’s favorite list.
That’s why no one was willing to touch the towel kept here.
He Zhilan looked at her hands.
Admittedly, she didn’t have to do any chores at ho.
Her hands were as delicate as Jiang Biyun’s who seemingly had never been exposed to rough labor.
Nonetheless, it didn’t an she was unwilling to do this sort of work now that she was in the restaurant.
“Don’t worry about it.
Since you’ve been asked to sweep, just start sweeping,” Fang Fang advised He Zhilan who had been standing in stunned silence for a while.
Resigned, she reached for the cloth and old newspaper to clean the windows.
After all, in the eyes of the other restaurant staff, she was the newcor ant to carry out these tasks.
In the morning, the restaurant wasn’t very busy.
Only a few custors ca in to relax and have so coffee.
It was only at noon that He Zhilan finally t the head chef and the manager, the two authorities of the place.
The manager and the head chef had been inford about a new staff mber nad He Zhilan joining them.
The manager simply nodded to express a warm welco to He Zhilan.
After noticing her fluent English and lack of any sign of incompetence or pettiness, he sohow softened his usually harsh deanor.
The head chef, who was already in touch with Bian Xiulin, learned from her that He Zhilan was a close friend of Xiulin.
After the manager left, he warmly greeted He Zhilan, his tone was much friendlier and enthusiastic compared to his boss’s authoritative voice.
In the restaurant, He Zhilan, for the first ti, experienced what it was like to be extrely popular.
While at work, many people were always eager to assist her in whatever she was doing.
When she had a al, there were countless people keeping her company.
Even after work, many people enthusiastically invited her to go shopping or to visit their dorms.
However, the truth was that He Zhilan wasn’t just so clueless university student.
She was grateful for all the help she received, but she politely declined whenever it was possible.
After work, she didn’t go anywhere, but returned to the dorm with Fang Fang.
Sotis Fang Fang would go shopping with others, leaving Zhilan alone in the dorm to read.
She didn’t like going out, partly because of the cold weather, and partly because she wanted to save money.
Ever since she noticed that Fang Fang would buy wool to knit clothes in her free ti, He Zhilan refused to step out after work.
She had Fang Fang teach her how to knit, and then she didn’t even spare ti for reading anymore, focusing all her ti on knitting.
Fang Fang was a girl with nimble hands.
She knitted sweaters for her parents and two younger brothers.
Seeing Fang Fang’s self-knitted sweater made He Zhilan extrely envious.
Fortunately, she wasn’t bad at learning and managed to grasp a few simple knitting techniques taught by Fang Fang in a few days.
Her sole wish was to finish knitting a sweater for He Teng by hand before the New Year.
