Chapter 1142: The Boss Is Out (10)
Ming Shu went back and asked someone to look into that fake-licensed car. The surveillance video only caught a few traces of it.
They couldn’t find out who did it.
The people in this world couldn’t find out, but the Harmony System could.
But the Harmony System wouldn’t cooperate.
Because there were no Hatred Points.
For a mission without Hatred Points, the Harmony System would always say no. It was very principled and unwavering.
Since the Harmony System wouldn’t help her, and Ming Shu could do nothing to it, she had to think of ways by herself.
In this world, there wouldn’t be a thing that couldn’t get solved with enough snacks, sorry, money. If there was, it was only because the money wasn’t enough!
“Okay, call me as soon as you find it.”
If the car was just bluffing and intended to frighten Yu Jing, she would let it pass, too lazy to care about it. The little goblin could handle it by himself anyway. But that car was obviously trying to kill him.
Ming Shu hung up the phone and walked downstairs slowly.
Qiao Cheng who would have long left home at this time normally was actually still at home.
“Dad!” Ming Shu was startled and rushed downstairs quickly. “I bought the ice cream!”
Qiao Cheng, who was eating the ice cream, nodded. “Yes, what’s wrong?”
Ming Shu: “...” You ate my ice cream and now you are asking me what’s wrong!
How many years would you be in prison for beating up your father?
Qiao Cheng requested very sincerely, “I don’t like chocolate, next time you should buy a strawberry flavor.”
Ming Shu: “...”
Why would a tough man eat strawberry-flavored ice cream!
“Mom, Mom...” Ming Shu shouted upstairs.
“Shh! Don’t yell!” Qiao Cheng waved his hand at Ming Shu.
“What do you want this early in the morning?” Cui Yuhui, who was making herself up, walked out of her room. “What’s happening between you father and daughter again?”
As soon as Cui Yuhui just stepped out of her room, Qiao Cheng pushed the ice cream to Ming Shu’s side. He picked up the newspaper nearby and pretended to be reading.
Ming Shu: “...”
“Little Qi, why are you eating ice cream this early?”
Ming Shu pointed to Qiao Cheng. “Your husband ate it.”
Cui Yuhui took a glance at the chocolate on Qiao Cheng’s mouth that he hadn’t had time to wipe off. “Qiao Cheng, how dare you, has everything I told you just gone in one ear and out the other?!”
Cui Yuhui pulled Qiao Cheng’s ear and lectured him for a long time.
Finally it was over. Qiao Cheng stared at Ming Shu with hidden bitterness. You are my biological daughter!
Cui Yuhui asked Qiao Cheng, “Won’t you go to the company today?”
“Old Zheng will come to me,” Qiao Cheng answered. “What about preparing two more dishes for lunch?”
“Okay, I can do that,” Cui Yuhui agreed.
They didn’t have a servant at home, so Cui Yuhui was in charge of all household duties. After finishing making herself up, Cui Yuhui went out to buy food ingredients.
When Ming Shu got down after changing clothes, the Old Zheng Qiao Cheng mentioned had arrived and was talking to Qiao Cheng.
The Host also knew him—Zheng Guangming, who was said to be Qiao Cheng and Cui Yuhui’s old classmate. They were very good friends.
“Little Qi, why don’t you greet your Uncle Zheng?”
Ming Shu took the order and nodded. “Uncle Zheng.”
The gentlemanly man smiled slightly and said with an older generation’s amiableness, “Little Qi, I haven’t seen you in a long time, you’ve become even more beautiful. I brought a gift for you, come and see if you like it?”
Zheng Guangming gave Ming Shu a necklace, which seemed quite expensive.
“Thank you, Uncle Zheng.”
Zheng Guangming breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good you like it. I was worrying you would dislike it. I don’t know what you young girls like these days.”
Ming Shu had small talk with Zheng Guangming, then decisively sneaked into the kitchen.
She could still hear Zheng Guangming and Qiao Cheng’s conversation vaguely.
“Little Qi is in a senior this year, right?”
“Right, she will graduate soon. She’s been focusing on that bar all day long, I told her to intern at the company yet she didn’t want to come. Alas.”
“She’s still a kid, hahaha, kids like having fun...”
Then Qiao Cheng and Zheng Guangming began to talk about business. Ming Shu continued listening to the discussion for a while before losing interest, so she went back to sleep until lunch.
...
[Additional Task: Gain Hatred Points from Yu Ting.]
[Hidden Task: I have special skills for opening a shop.]
Ming Shu: “...”
As soon as Ming Shu stepped into Qi Yun Bar, the Harmony System popped out.
What the hell is this?
What does that special skill mean?
[Hint: Please make the peers have no money to earn.]
Ming Shu: “...”
Other than the kind of business passed down from generation to generation like Yan Xue’s bar, what kind of shop owner like this that had reputation didn’t have a background related to gangsters?
I’m afraid I’ll be hacked to death and my body displayed in the street.
The Harmony System wouldn’t be comfortable if it didn’t instigate me to do bad things.
The bar had just opened for business today and there weren’t many people inside. Ming Shu sneaked in and successfully got herself something to eat under the protest of all other staff.
“Sister Qi, are you pregnant?” One young boy swept a gaze over Ming Shu’s belly suspiciously.
Ming Shu didn’t get angry and just asked back with a smile, “When did humans have babies without sex?”
The young boy remembered that his boss didn’t even have a boyfriend.
So he gave her a sympathetic look, then walked away holding some stuff in his hands.
Ming Shu: “...” Why did he suddenly show sympathy for me?
Ming Shu began to think about how to make her peers lose every chance to earn money. When she came out, the Impressive Band had already begun today’s show.
It seemed the band members weren’t in a good state today, they made several mistakes. But the atmosphere was great and no one cared about their small errors.
Yu Jing stepped down from the stage. Ming Shu leaned on one side. “Do you want your hands or not?”
Yu Jing, who was cold and noble just now, immediately changed his expression. “My hands are belong to me, does it have anything to do with you if I want them or not?”
Yu Jing became a little anxious again after finishing the sentence.
Ming Shu said casually, “No, but if your hands are useless, it might affect my business here. So I must remind you of this as the boss.”
“Without me, you can still recruit someone else. No one is irreplaceable.” As Yu Jing said this, it was like he had armed it with spines and each word was dangerous. “Move aside.”
Ming Shu spread out her arms innocently. “Young man, I’m not in the way, okay?”
She only stood on the edge. The position where they were now was probably in Yu Jing’s way, but there was much space beside them.
He only needed to take two more steps aside.
Yu Jing gradually lost his temper. “I must go through from your position, so what?”
“Nothing.” Ming Shu moved aside and the flashing lights on the stage were reflected in her eyes, glimmering. “I’ll just deduct your salary.”
Yu Jing: “...”
“Fuck!”
Yu Jing suddenly exploded and startled Peng Pai who happened to come over a lot. “Boss... Why are you using bad language again?”
Yu Jing turned his head and glared at Peng Pai.
Peng Pai: “...”
After Yu Jing left angrily, Peng Pai looked at Ming Shu dumbfoundedly. “Sister Qi, what happened to our boss?”
“Didn’t you reject him?”
Peng Pai was horrified to hear this. “No, how’s that possible... No... How did you know that?”
“I heard it.”
“You were also present last night?” Peng Pai became even more horrified. “Were you with our boss? What happened to him last night?”
Yesterday when Yu Jing returned, his entire person almost exploded, and it took them great effort to pacify him.
“Nothing.”
“Nothing?”
“Yes, nothing.”
“Impossible, there must be something. Sister Qi, tell me, what on earth did my boss go through last night?”
Ming Shu unfolded her eyebrows and smiled. “I’m not gonna tell you.”
Peng Pai: “...”
Why didn’t he realize that Sister Qi was so funny before?
