"Hello, my na is Su Jiuyi." After calming down, Su Jiuyi responded politely to her.
"You’re the ’victim’ in the surveillance room from the day before yesterday, right?" Qin Shaobai said with a smile.
The term "victim" was quite fitting to describe her.
"Hmm..." Su Jiuyi nodded, then thought for a mont and added, "The incident didn’t implicate Jingren, did it?"
Qin Shaobai shook his head, his expression turning serious, "Her consequences were quite severe; the manager not only scolded her but also deducted her salary and year-end bonus for this month."
Su Jiuyi frowned, feeling sowhat guilty, "It’s all because of ..."
She rembered telling Shi Aoju that she hoped he wouldn’t bla Qi Jingren, but why did things turn out like this now?
Seeing her guilt-ridden expression, Qin Shaobai chuckled lightly and said, "It’s okay, I was just kidding."
Kidding her!?
Su Jiuyi: "..."
Indeed, a playful playboy; even his deception was so skillful.
At that mont, all the maids in the restaurant ca out.
"Mr. Qin?" The maid who had just spoken well of Qin Shaobai looked very happy, "What are you doing here?"
After saying this, she noticed Su Jiuyi beside her and scrutinized her.
Feeling sowhat uneasy under her gaze, Su Jiuyi took a step back, distancing herself from Qin Shaobai.
Understanding her intention, Qin Shaobai curved his lips into a smile but casually replied to the maid, "I ca to find sothing to eat."
"Then, what does Mr. Qin like to eat?" The maid blushed deeply and said in a small voice, "I can make it for you."
The maid next to her pulled on her sleeve, whispering, "You forgot we still have work to do."
But that maid acted as if she hadn’t heard, staring straight at Qin Shaobai, as if she was in a blocking state.
Qin Shaobai, sowhat at a loss due to her enthusiasm, sneaked a glance at Su Jiuyi.
Su Jiuyi, on the other hand, wore an expression of "not my business" and turned to leave the scene.
Unable to find food, yet still needing to work.
They say, "People are iron, rice is steel, skip a al and you’ll feel famished."
Growing up, Su Jiuyi deeply understood the aning of this saying for the first ti.
At the sa ti, Song Zhike ran into his mother and Su Manning at the mall opposite Ciaos.
The two were picking out clothes in the clothing section, and Mrs. Song kept comparing the clothes against Su Manning, clearly showing her fondness for her future daughter-in-law.
Song Zhike had originally co to investigate the shooting that happened the day before yesterday; Shi Aoju had wanted to find soone to investigate, but Song Zhike felt the matter was far from simple, so he ca personally.
Mrs. Song spotted her son right away, then tugged on Su Manning’s arm beside her, signaling her to look in Song Zhike’s direction.
Song Zhike initially intended to avoid them, but seeing that the two had already noticed him, he had no choice but to walk over to them.
"Mom, Man Ning."
Song Zhike strode closer to the two, wearing a gentle smile. Seeing Su Manning holding a paper bag, he proactively reached out to take it.
Such a gentlemanly gesture inevitably moved Su Manning a bit; she lowered her head with a shy smile, the corners of her mouth curling slightly.
Seeing the two of them getting along so well, Mrs. Song was overjoyed and said, "You young folks should get out and about more often; that’s how your relationship can grow deeper and deeper."
