Don't follow the rules

Chapter 458: Haojiu Home Furnishing City (Thirty-four)
"Okay, no more joking." Ning Yao got back to the rhythm of the conversation.

"To be on the safe side, I'd better tell you my thinking. If I make a mistake, you can help correct it."

Ning Yao cleared his throat. "Ahem, just as Sister Feng said, the management area that each stockist can cover is probably a model room and a small area nearby. There are nine model rooms in the living room area. If customers need to always have the best shopping experience, planners should let each area have a stockist to organize the merchandise."

"In this way, at least nine people are needed."

"If we follow the elementary school algorithm and set the average daily working hours of Feng Jie at 18 hours, then we can conclude that there is a two-hour gap between each Feng Jie."

Gao Yang actively raised his hand and said, "But that's not right. If the interval is the standard two hours, then why wasn't the interval between Sister Feng in the lounge just now and this Sister Feng a full two hours?"

"The standard two hours is calculated based on Sister Feng's average daily working hours. I just picked a round number that is easier to calculate." Ning Yao chuckled. "Please forgive my calculation ability. If there are many decimal points and scattered numbers, it will be too difficult for me."

Gao Yang nodded as if he understood: "Okay, brother, you continue."

Liang Feng suddenly asked: "How much time difference is there between me and the guy in the lounge?"

Ning Yao blinked: "Oh, without a timer, I can't estimate it too accurately, probably around an hour and a half."

"One and a half hours..." Liang Feng frowned. "Nine people... If we follow the ideal situation, the one in the lounge will be connected to the time period after me, so each person will be separated by an hour and a half. If I calculated correctly, my total working hours today will only add up to more than 13 hours?"

Gao Yang: "Only? More than 13 hours, that's not a small amount, sis."

"It's not this question, it's just..." Liang Feng was tangled, "It's just that today there are much less than usual, right?"

Xiao Bai also echoed Liang Feng's opinion: "If today's working hours are 13 and a half hours, Xiao Feng starts work at 7:9 and should get off work around pm, but this is almost the same time when the furniture store is going to broadcast to drive away customers, and it's not even the usual closing time yet. Xiao Feng still has to pack up the goods after closing."

Gao Yang guessed: "Or maybe you left early today?"

"We don't have an early leave system, and we generally don't allow leave..." Liang Feng's voice got lower and lower, and she could hardly stand Xiao Bai's accusing gaze. She bowed her head and admitted defeat, "Okay, this is a place outside the labor law. I already know I was wrong."

Bai Yunyou snorted: "You are not allowed to work here."

Liang Feng: "No, no, no."

Ning Yao did not argue with everyone about the calculation result. He shrugged and said, "It's okay. I just made a mistake. Let's try another algorithm."

Gao Yang yawned: "Actually, I think this algorithm is feasible. If we can arrange one more person, I think the time will be reasonable."

Ning Yao raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Gao Yang: "With one more person, there will be fifteen hours. Although it is still shorter than usual, the working time will be 10:30 pm, which is past the closing time of the furniture store. And if there are a few of us to help clean up, it is normal for Sister Feng to get off work a little earlier."

"If there is one more Liang Feng... where can he be arranged? There are only nine model rooms here." Ning Yao seemed to be thinking about something.

"I do have an idea," Yu Min joined the conversation, "If we calculate it based on one cubicle per person, it's actually not perfect, because as long as one person leaves the current room and goes to another room, she will be in a 'wandering' state, and at least one room will be vacant."

"If we want to ensure that there is a stock clerk in each room to sort the goods, then we must have another person for this 'wandering' position. So for nine model rooms, there should be at least ten stock clerks."

"Yeah, that makes sense... Eh?!" Gao Yang was surprised. "When did you come here? You weren't in the lounge?"

Yu Min scratched her cheek guiltily: "Ah, I explained it to that Sister Feng, but I am insignificant and she didn't seem to listen to my explanation. There is no point in saying more. I chose to come over and get closer to the main group, so as not to be left too far behind by you." Xiao Bai stretched his neck anxiously, as if he wanted to see Liang Feng behind Yu Min through her: "What happened to Xiao Feng over there?"

Yu Min quickly held Bai Yunyou and said, "It's okay, she's safe." (It's just that I don't feel safe when I'm with her)

"According to Minmin's idea, if we arrange an extra roaming tally clerk, the whole logic suddenly seems to make sense~" Ning Yao said happily.

"Hey!" Yu Min retched. "Who are you? Do you think we are familiar with each other? Don't call me so affectionately! I will really vomit!"

"Well, I thought we were already friends." Ning Yao's face showed a bit of grievance, and his two index fingers kept circling, looking like... a cup of green tea.

Yu Min rubbed the goose bumps on her arms and tilted her head to ask Xiao Bai: "What's wrong with him? Why does he look so evil after not seeing him for a while?"

"I don't know... he was fine just now." Bai Yunyou was a little confused by Ning Yao's crazy behavior.

But Liang Feng just glanced at him with contempt and said, "Ignore him, he is just a jerk."

Ning Yao was relieved: "The one who understands me is Sister Feng."

Liang Feng raised his foot and was about to kick him: "You really are that?!"

Ning Yao twisted his butt skillfully to avoid Liang Feng's kick: "I really miss it. The last person who kicked me like this was my dad."

Liang Feng turned around and kicked again: "My true identity is your father!"

Ning Yao was too busy smiling to dodge her kick, so the kick landed accurately on the back of his waist, pushing him forward several meters.

Ning Yao staggered and waved his arms to steady himself, thus avoiding a very ugly fall.

"Phew~ Fortunately, I can stand firmly in horse stance."

"Why are you alone? Where are the others?"

Before he could stand still for a second, the noise around him suddenly disappeared and a chilling voice rang in Ning Yao's ears. Even without using any emotional analysis techniques, he could sense the man's suppressed anger.

"Ahahaha~" Ning Yao forced a smile "Sister Feng~ what a coincidence."

"Unfortunately, I was waiting for you."

Liang Feng gritted his teeth, stepped forward and grabbed Ning Yao's hair, and pressed the forked scissors against his face, with the tip of the scissors flashing with a cold light almost poking his eyes.

Ning Yao had no doubt about Liang Feng's courage. If he dared to resist, she would definitely poke out one of his eyes first.

"Where's Xiaobai? How did you take her away? What kind of trick did you play right in front of me?" Liang Feng said viciously.

"Sister, sister," Ning Yao begged, "Can you please put down the knife first? Let's talk it over."

Liang Feng brought the scissors closer: "Where's Xiaobai? My patience has its limits. Please don't make me ask you for the third time."

Thanks to Zhukongerjun for the tip! Love you, baby! MUA!!!
