C5 I'll Stay(1)

It wasn't long, it wasn't short, it had been an hour since the five of them had been silent. At this moment, the owner of the pawnshop still hadn't come out.

"Oh heavens! Why hasn't anyone come out yet?"

An hour's time was nothing for the four people sitting and drinking tea. Apart from the boy who seemed to be more nervous, the other three were still sitting leisurely.

However, Xu Binn was different. The four of them had been sitting for an hour. He just stood there for an hour. During this time, he did not want to give Zhao Fangxin the beauty. This hour left a bad impression on Xu Binn. It was the same as standing in a military posture. He did not do anything out of line.

After standing there for an hour, Xu Binn's legs started to feel a little weak. In the past, when he was in the mall, he would stand up a lot, but at that time, he would stand up when introducing the goods to the customers. He could sit for the rest of the time. He didn't stand for more than an hour like today. During this time, even the slightest movement was pitiful.

Xu Binn looked at the main seat in the center of the inner hall. He wanted to sit up immediately. It was not that he was trying to tempt Xu Binn, but that his legs were extremely sore.

"I don't care about that anymore. If I keep standing like this, I will have to amputate my legs. Besides, it seems that I don't have much time to play this time. Even if I sit on the main seat, if the owner of this place sees me, there won't be anything to say!"

Xu Binn looked at the three competitors who could 'beat' him until he was covered in wounds. He walked towards the main seat with the feeling that he was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

In fact, Xu Binn also wanted to leave here and no longer compete for the staff of this vintage pawnshop. However, he felt a little aggrieved if he left just like that. He had been standing there for an hour. Even if he couldn't apply for the job, he had to meet the owner of this place. Otherwise, standing there for an hour wouldn't be too unfair.

Furthermore, it was because of Zhao Fangxin that Xu Binn did not want to leave a bad impression on her. Furthermore, Xu Binn's wishful thinking was that if he and Zhao Fangxin, this beauty, did not apply for the job, then... They could even go out together. He could also become a flower protector and build a foundation that could help him earn a month.

Xu Binn walked to the main seat with vigorous steps. He went around the seat and sat on the main seat 'calmly'.

When they saw Xu Binn sitting on the main seat fearlessly, the four people on the guest seat had different expressions on their faces. Zhao Fangxin's expression was surprise. She was a girl who did not live a deep life. If he had not seen the owner of this place, he would have thought that Xu Binn was the owner of this place.

Although the refined eyed man's expression was also a little surprised, it was more of disdain. In his opinion, Xu Binn, who was wearing a set of street stalls, couldn't be his competitor. In his eyes, Xu Binn's actions were just like a clown.

The burly man frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction with Xu Binn's disrespect to the owner of this place. However, he only frowned. He did not do anything.

The boy didn't have any expression on his face when Xu Binn sat on the seat of honor. It was as if Xu Binn's actions were natural to him.

Putting aside the reaction of the four people towards Xu Binn, an old man walked out from behind the screen as soon as Xu Binn sat on the seat of honor.

Xu Binn didn't see the old man at first. Instead, he saw the people sitting on the guest seats. They all looked to his right and stood up at the same time.

Xu Binn, who had been fighting in the society for many years, knew what they were doing at first glance. The 'main person' had come. He was the one who could make the three people who had not spoken to him since they came in. All of them stood up in unison. Only the boss of this place was left.

Xu Binn also stood up after the four guests stood up. Then, he followed the four people's gaze and looked to his right.

Old man!

An old man!

The old man wore a vintage robe and a pair of cloth shoes that matched the style here.

He was called an old man because he had a head of white hair. However, the face of the old man did not match his white hair.

Although the old man had a head of white hair, there were no wrinkles or age spots on his face. It was as if the only thing that had been left behind by the passage of time was his white hair that was as bright as silver threads.

"Is this the legendary crane hair and child-like face?" The old man's appearance stunned Xu Binn.

The old man came to the hall. He first smiled at Xu Binn, who stood up from the main seat, and then said to the people who stood up, "Sit down first!"

Everyone else did the same when they heard him. Only Xu Binn stood there awkwardly. Originally, the seat he was sitting on was the master's seat. Now that the master had returned, where could he sit?

The man with glasses looked at Xu Binn with mockery.

The old man looked at Xu Binn, who was standing awkwardly in the seat, but his smile remained unchanged. He said to Xu Binn, "Little friend, sit down too! That seat isn't mine either!"

Xu Binn didn't stand on ceremony when he heard the old man ask him to sit down. He sat back down on the main seat boldly.

The man with glasses saw that the old man wanted Xu Binn to sit down, not the disappointed god that he had imagined to be kicked out. He also understood the meaning of the old man's words. The old man wasn't the owner of this place.

The old man scanned the people sitting on the seats and said, "Everyone here is here to apply for a job, right?"

Hearing the old man's question, everyone present nodded and said, "Yes." However, Xu Binn's stomach was spinning.

"Isn't this nonsense? If he wasn't here for the interview, could he be here for a stroll?"

The old man seemed to be able to hear the voice in someone's heart. He glanced at Xu Binn's position.

"Since none of you are here for a stroll, I will give you a question. The one who gets the correct answer will be the winner of the group. You can stay here."

The first half of the old man's sentence seemed to be said casually, but Xu Binn heard him emphasizing the word stroll. This made Xu Binn suspect if the old man had heard what he had just said.

Just as Xu Binn was wondering if the old man had heard what he was thinking, the old man started to give the question. "May I ask, everyone, what is a 'deal' in your hearts?"

The old man's words made everyone fall into deep thought. Seeing the other four thinking, Xu Binn also pretended to think.

The old man looked around the crowd. Just when the old man thought that everyone was thinking for a while, the eye-eyed man sitting on the right seat stood up.
