Chapter 57 Request
"Could it be that they've discovered us?"
"It can't be that bad, can it? Didn't Xiao Jin not bring the City God's Token when she went there?"
I feel like they discovered something was amiss themselves. After all, a lottery station that has lost customers because no one has won a prize for a long time might be afraid of arousing suspicion.
We've got the big and small scourges all in Jinchuan City now. Lao Wen and I are planning to trap them like turtles in a jar.
The local land gods and minor deities have all been informed; anyone who doesn't take the normal exit routes from the city will be detected immediately.
The food on the table was still hot, and Zhu Jin politely served Qiao Kun a bowl of rice.
Although he said he had already eaten breakfast, he still picked up his chopsticks and took a couple of bites.
Since there were only two stools in the room that could be dragged to the dining table, Zhu Jin didn't pull Ma Ye up this time. Instead, she added some more dishes and squatted down at the door to eat.
"Xiao Jin, why are you squatting by the door eating? I've finished eating, you can come and eat at the table."
"It's alright, Mr. Qiao, please take your time eating. I'll sit here as well."
This aggrieved expression stunned Qiao Kun, but Ma Ye remained completely unfazed, simply continuing to eat.
"Xiao Ye, are you talking about her again?"
"No, she's been like this ever since she finished kneeling and burning incense last night."
Actually, this isn't bad; knowing that money is hard to earn prevents you from making the same mistakes again.
It's just past eight o'clock, but it's summer vacation, and young people in Jinchuan City are already lining up in long queues at the entrance.
Zhao Fangqu was so busy inside that he couldn't sit still. Scanning QR codes to verify coupons, cleaning, and arranging for guests kept him running around like crazy.
A red-haired man was handing out plum juice at the doorway, carrying a tray.
The box of sour plum crystals I bought from the murder mystery game shop is almost used up these past few days.
Zhu Jin, who had just taken a couple of bites of her meal, was naturally drawn to the red hair. She dropped her food on the steps and rushed out without wiping her mouth.
"You little brat, you actually showed up here!"
Zhu Jin grabbed the red-haired man's collar and yanked him hard, spilling the plum juice on the tray all over the floor. The other guests screamed and backed away.
But as soon as she turned her face, Zhu Jin realized that the face was very unfamiliar.
Although the appearance of poverty in the nose and eyes is somewhat similar, the facial features are completely different.
But the red-haired man's face showed an undisguised surprise.
"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
After helping to smooth out her collar, Zhu Jin had no choice but to first pick up the paper cups from the ground.
Fortunately, the soil here is all sandy, so there's no need to clean.
The red-haired man didn't dare to get angry, perhaps because he was frightened by Zhu Jin's angry appearance. He simply apologized to the other customers and ran back to the murder mystery game shop.
"That shouldn't be the case, their body types are about the same."
Scratching her head, Zhu Jin walked back to Qingmu Hall dejectedly. Ma Ye had already taken her rice bowl, and Qiao Kun had left the room.
"What's up? Did you see a handsome guy?"
"No, bro, that red-haired man's back looked familiar, but it wasn't the guy from yesterday."
"Another redhead?"
Two redheads appeared in a murder mystery game store in a row, which is quite unusual in the generally reserved environment of young people in China.
But if both the big and small scourges appeared at the murder mystery game shop, Qiao Kun shouldn't have been unable to smell it, and Boss Zhao would probably have been drained of his fortune and ended up lying on the ground.
"You wait at home, I'll go take a look."
"Brother, aren't you worried about Xiao Huohuo anymore?"
"Go in and keep watch for me for a while. Liu Gan knows the plot."
The parasols in front of the murder mystery game shop were already full of people, but with all six games running inside, the wait wasn't too long.
Zhao Fangqu had just sat down to rest for a while and originally wanted to drink some plum juice to cool off, but there was only one bag of plum crystals left, so he had to prioritize the guests.
"Boss Zhao, business is good!"
"Hey, Mr. Ma! Thanks to your kind words, my little shop has been brought back to life."
"Have you been waiting too long for the rent? Don't worry, I'll deliver it to you as soon as I get off work tomorrow night. We just had to pay some new helpers first, so I apologize for the inconvenience."
"It's nothing, it's been so long, one more day won't make a difference."
Zhao Fangqu couldn't hide his smile. In fact, he had already prepared three months' rent in his drawer. If he had known whether the new employee needed to be paid in cash, he would have handed over the money directly.
Ma Ye didn't care about the rent; it didn't matter whether he paid it today or tomorrow.
But this guy must have been too tired, because the flesh on his nose had thinned out, the bloodshot eyes were more visible, and his lips were also starting to thin.
"Boss Zhao, where did you find these employees? You're so lucky!"
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Qianqian's friend, who's so good-looking, like he jumped out of a painting."
"The only problem is the limited space; otherwise, I'd like to open several more accounts!"
Friends of Qianqian, Qianqian!
There were many customers waiting here, so Ma Ye pulled Zhao Fangqu directly behind the counter, which startled Zhao Fangqu.
"Zhao Fangqu, you said that woman's name is Qianqian? Is her surname Li?"
"Yes, his name is Li Qianqian. But he hasn't signed a labor contract yet, and he's been receiving daily cash payments."
"Damn, it actually matches up!"
A gust of wind blew past Zhao Fangqu's face, and before he could even say hello, Ma Ye rushed out of the script shop.
The customers who had just entered were almost bumped into, and they all grumbled and cursed, but still went to the counter to get a number.
Li Qianqian, who had just seen off a group of guests, also came out of the house. She was extremely thirsty, as her mouth had been dry after performing all morning.
But Zhao Fangqu looked at her with a puzzled expression, which made Li Qianqian feel a little uncomfortable.
"Boss Zhao, is there something wrong with my makeup?"
"No, Mr. Ma from next door just came over. He seems to know you."
Did you dump a boyfriend before? Why don't you go talk to him and explain things? After all, he's my landlord too.
Thinking it was something dirty on her face, Li Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.
Since it was just a misunderstanding, she told the customer who had just come in and prepared to go out and explain.
The sun was very hot outside, and when the customers waiting for a table saw Li Qianqian come out in this red dress, they all raised their phones to take pictures.
After acting for so many days, Li Qianqian had almost forgotten that she had to hide her identity and was no longer afraid of the camera.
As soon as he turned the corner, Li Qianqian saw a familiar face, and the two people standing at the entrance of Qingmu Hall were also dumbfounded.
"Li Qianqian? No, I should call you Da Hao!"
You can call me whatever you want.
Perhaps it was because he was getting closer to Qingmu Hall, but Li Qianqian felt that the man in front of him was becoming more and more familiar with his demeanor, and he couldn't help but prepare to kneel down.
Despite having other guests behind her, Li Qianqian still supported herself on her knees and walked up to Ma Ye.
"It is your duty to eliminate demons and uphold justice, but I want to ask you for a favor."
"What are you begging for! You and Little Mouse have really screwed me over!"
Zhu Jin pulled out her belt and raised her hands, ready to tie Li Qianqian up.
But the guy didn't even flinch, and didn't dare to make a move even with the belt tied around his arm.
Ma Ye also reached out his hand to signal Zhu Jin to stop first.
"Tell me that as long as it's not about running away and letting you go or making any other unreasonable demands, I will consider it."
Hearing Ma Ye say this, Li Qianqian also carefully raised her head.
"I just want Boss Zhao to stay open until tonight. After all, he's taken me in for so many days, and it would be best if things could end on a good note."
