Shanhai Pet Shop
Chapter 17 Mercury Retrograde
The owner of the bun shop already knew Ye Yao, because he came here to buy buns every morning: "Young man, come again."
Ye Yao nodded: "Good morning, boss."
The boss asked, "What are you eating today?"
Ye Yao struggled for a moment, looked at the big steamer and said, "Boss, how many buns do you have in this big steamer?"
The boss really thought about it and said: "30."
Ye Yao said: "Success, boss will you bring me three cages?"
The boss was dumbfounded: "You can't finish it even if you eat it as three meals." There are nearly a hundred three-cup steamed buns.
Ye Yao said vaguely: "It's not for myself, it's for my colleagues."
The boss said: "To the colleagues?"
Ye Yao said: "I'm the one who runs the shop myself, and I always give some benefits to the people below."
The boss gave a thumbs up: "The young man saw that there are a lot of young people under him, okay, he is capable." Then he started to help him pack three cages of steamed buns, and even asked Ye Yao to do something wherever he was high.
He vaguely said that he was the owner of the shop, and then took out two hundred-yuan bills to stop the boss's overexcited curiosity, and left with three big bags of buns.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yao has been in the Shanhai pet shop for a while, and I have to say that this is the most satisfying job he has ever done. He usually stays in the study of the pet shop, reading, and thinking about his next work , When a guest comes to the door, sign a contract to rent out the pet. Of course, it must be accompanied by Qiongqi, and then two meals a day will be fed by the boss. The small life is very enjoyable.
Mingming seemed to say that he would go to the Nanjing branch of CSS within a week to sign a non-disclosure agreement, but the people in the branch called and urged him that he would never take the initiative to bring the shop owner. The case was so busy that no one thought that there was another Ye Yao here.
Venus No. [-] did not attract people from the Hong Kong headquarters, which is gratifying.
To be honest, Ye Yao felt that Qiongqi should be making a fuss out of a molehill.
He bought so many steamed buns today because after being together for half a month, apart from Samoyed and Garfield, whom he sees often but never talks to him, the other beasts finally made a request to the shop owner, and the macaw conveyed it on his behalf. Say they want to eat buns.
Ye Yao was ecstatic, and stared at Qiongqi to determine the quantity. Qiongqi, who had always despised human beings, was so entangled by Ye Yao that he told him to buy three cages.
Three cages are 100.
So Ye Yao came to the door with big bags and small bags.
But what he didn't expect was that when he went to open the store, there were already customers waiting at the door, and he had seen Zhao Jingjing who was very good-looking and full of wild charm.
She may have encountered some trouble recently, her brows and eyes are tired, and her eyes are black and blue.
Some people appreciate the beauty of a sick beauty with a weak willow and Fufeng. Lin Daiyu looks haggard and adds three points of grace, but Ye Yao prefers a healthy beauty, haggard is not suitable for Zhao Jingjing, a beauty like her should be full of vitality.
Ye Yao said: "What's wrong?"
He first put the plastic bag on the ground, took out the key and opened the door.
Zhao Jingjing cheered up and greeted Ye Yao: "Boss, where are you selling buns?"
Ye Yao said with a smile: "A pet store is enough, have you eaten breakfast, how about a steamed stuffed bun?"
Zhao Jingjing declined and said, "No, I ate it in the morning."
Ye Yao opened the door and said, "Come in and have a seat?"
Zhao Jingjing smiled and said, "Then thank you boss."
As the owner of Shanhai Pet Shop, although Ye Yao doesn't work in production and never takes care of pets, he still has the attitude of a boss in terms of service. Qiongqi used to impress his customers with his poor service and bad face. The bad impression made everyone want to kick his ass, but Ye Yao's existence made up for this shortcoming very well, and he gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
After Ye Yao divided the three steamed buns behind the curtain and returned to the front desk, he found that Zhao Jingjing was holding the cup in a daze, or he was lost in thought, and he said, "Have you looked for Qiongqi?"
Zhao Jingjing said: "I have called, sent text messages, and poked privately on WeChat, QQ, FB, and INS. It's a pity that he pretended not to see me and deliberately pretended to be dead."
Ye Yao comforted her: "It's normal, he treats me the same way."
Just now when he saw Zhao Jingjing standing at the door, he sent a message to Qiongqi, saying that there was a guest coming. He guessed that Qiongqi saw it. When he wanted to reply to a text message, he always replied in seconds, but this time there was no movement. Obviously it was I saw it and didn't return on purpose, take Joe.
After getting along during this period of time, Ye Yao has already realized what Qiongqi looks like when he is arrogant, and he can be said to be very tolerant to him.
Seeing a beautiful woman lost her soul, he felt compassion, and sat on the stool behind his counter, looked at Zhao Jingjing with encouraging eyes and said, "What happened?"
Zhao Jingjing may have been prepared to confide in Ye Yao from the very beginning. The previous forgetfulness and loss of soul were all intentional. Of course, this does not mean that she is in a good state. In fact, Zhao Jingjing is in a very bad state both psychologically and physically. , It's just that people like her don't want to show it to others even if they are bad, but find a dark place where no one sees her, and lick her wounds alone.
One of the laws of the jungle is not to expose your weaknesses to anyone other than yourself.
Qiongqi has known Zhao Jingjing for a few years, and is familiar with her style. Even if he sings and makes a beating tool, he can't deceive the beast. He is more likely to ridicule Zhao Jingjing without reservation, so she came to Ye Yao.
Zhao Jingjing said: "Do you still remember the Eagle Stone I told you about?"
Ye Yao nodded. He didn't tell Zhao Jingjing that he already knew what kind of treasure the Eagle Stone was, and even had the effect of bringing the dead back to life. He had reservations. Although the woman in front of her was beautiful, she was just an acquaintance with him.
Zhao Jingjing said: "We have encountered a little trouble. It seems that the strange beast who stole the Eagle Stone didn't simply pass by this city. He came prepared."
Ye Yao said: "But I remember, half a month ago you borrowed the scorpion, and then dispelled it on the spot, uh, the aura of disaster?"
Zhao Jingjing nodded and said, "That's just the beginning. Have you read the newspapers from the previous two days? There was a fire in Pukou?"
Ye Yao said: "It seems to be caused by the aging of the circuit, and one person died?"
Afterwards, newspapers and local news issued a series of appeals about the safety of electricity use in summer, and strictly prevented fires. Only people who die will pay attention to safety issues.
Ye Yao didn't pay much attention to it at first, whether it was fire or electricity safety, he was too far away, and this incident sounded like an ordinary safety accident, like a car accident, which happened every day, and it was no longer worth boarding. Newspaper layout.
But Zhao Jingjing's sudden mention made him a little vigilant: "Isn't it a general electricity safety accident?"
Zhao Jingjing said: "Of course not. Electricity safety is just an excuse. The cause of the accident is the same as what I explained to you that day. Even the strange beast that caused the fire is the same."
Ye Yao's eyelids twitched and said, "Aura of calamity?"
Zhao Jingjing nodded.
Ye Yao frowned, he wouldn't ask stupid questions about why the calamity could kill him. In fact, after seeing Qiongqi's body for the first time, he realized how fragile human life really is. How insignificant, even if you put aside the strange beasts, since he was a child, he liked to read books about Fengshui metaphysics. But if you step on the empty stairs and roll down from the second floor, you will also break your neck. Calamity is not a good thing at first glance, why doesn't it make people die?
Zhao Jingjing said again: "Fu Dou is the name of that strange beast. We caught his wave several times, but it disappeared without a trace in just a few seconds. You should know the speed of Qiongqi, although there is no actual measurement, But Fudou's speed is not much slower than that of Qiongqi, and there is no way to find him in just a few seconds."
Ye Yao said: "What is his purpose in coming to this city, setting fire? Killing people?"
Zhao Jingjing said: "No, if it is really simple to kill and set fire, although it is not easy to deal with, it will let us breathe a sigh of relief. According to the physical evidence he left at the scene, it is hard to believe that he just killed people impromptu."
The purpose behind it is what they worry about.
Ye Yao said: "So you want to borrow 讙? To dispel the aura of disaster?"
Zhao Jingjing said: "No, it's not just about borrowing Zhu, we want to borrow Qiongqi."
Ye Yao: Huh?
His face was full of words such as "Are you kidding Qiongqi so easy to talk to?" Zhao Jingjing could only smile wryly when she saw it.
She said: "I know it is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, I have to try."
Qiongqi categorically said: "No way!"
Ah, sure enough, Ye Yao thought, the strength of this person's refusal was exactly as he imagined.
Qiongqi said: "Go and read, I don't need you here."
To be honest, it can be said that he was very arrogant towards his boss even though he was a clerk, but Ye Yao could only give Zhao Jingjing a helpless look, and retreated neatly behind the study.
Obviously, Qiongqi is not prepared to let him participate in this matter, and it is hard to say why Zhao Jingjing came to the store in advance to play the family card against him. Considering that he is not familiar with Zhao Jingjing at all, although Ye Yao sympathizes with the young lady, But they are more willing to withdraw from the battlefield early.
Qiongqi waited for Ye Yao to close the door and immediately opened his mouth to mock: "Do you think that kid will listen to you? How is it possible, this store is in charge of me, and he obeys me, how could he listen to your nonsense."
Regardless of Zhao Jingjing's ugly face, his words were full of malicious sarcasm, which was quite in line with the nature of a beast: "Let me guess how I found me, is there something wrong with your secret weapon, the little witch? Otherwise, you can Shot Futo's head off with the gun he's proud of instead of me."
"Or is it that the people in the branch are so useless that even Fudou can't track them down? Your abilities really opened my eyes."
Zhao Jingjing's complexion was not good, but after hearing Qiongqi's words, she suddenly smiled. She slowly took out a folder from the tote bag and put it in front of Qiongqi.
"A few days ago, I checked Fudou's information and found a very interesting piece of news."
"His right eye was taken away in a fight five years ago. Before that, he stayed in Nanjing for more than ten years. The members of the field branch confirmed that he only had the left eye, but no one knew how he lost his right eye. .”
"If you analyze it carefully, the five times he has appeared so far will include a lot in the middle of the five times. Our people deciphered from the spell he left behind that nine sacrifices are needed to complete the burst. You might as well guess where the exact center of his spellcasting is."
Zhao Jingjing smiled into Shang Qiongqi's eyes: "Don't talk too much, otherwise everyone will hear the crackling sound of the slap in the face."
After finishing speaking, he put on his bag and stepped on 8 cm high heels, and walked away with long legs, walking like flying.
Samoyed interrupted without fear of death: "You'd better look at the documents, after all, you were slapped in the face some time ago. To be honest, I suspect that your water has retrograde recently."
Qiongqi exhaled through his nose: "Are you kidding me!"
How could his luck be affected by the constellations as a ferocious beast who created the world?
Even if there is an influence, it will be restrained.
Qiongqi opened the door of the study, and shouted at Ye Yao who was reading: "It's time to work! What kind of fish are you fishing for!"
Ye Yao: ……………
are you crazy!
Ye Yao nodded: "Good morning, boss."
The boss asked, "What are you eating today?"
Ye Yao struggled for a moment, looked at the big steamer and said, "Boss, how many buns do you have in this big steamer?"
The boss really thought about it and said: "30."
