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 couldnât find out who did it.
The people in this world couldnât find out, but the Harmony System could.
But the Harmony System wouldnât 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 wouldnât help her, and Ming Shu could do nothing to it, she had to think of ways by herself.
In this world, there wouldnât be a thing that couldnât get solved with enough snacks, sorry, money. If there was, it was only because the money wasnât enough!
âOkay, call me as soon as you find it.â
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.
âDad!â Ming Shu was startled and rushed downstairs quickly. âI bought the ice cream!â
Qiao Cheng, who was eating the ice cream, nodded. âYes, whatâs wrong?â
Ming Shu: â...â You ate my ice cream and now you are asking me whatâs wrong!
How many years would you be in prison for beating up your father?
Qiao Cheng requested very sincerely, âI donât like chocolate, next time you should buy a strawberry flavor.â
Ming Shu: â...â
Why would a tough man eat strawberry-flavored ice cream!
âMom, Mom...â Ming Shu shouted upstairs.
âShh! Donât yell!â Qiao Cheng waved his hand at Ming Shu.
âWhat do you want this early in the morning?â Cui Yuhui, who was making herself up, walked out of her room. âWhatâs happening between you father and daughter again?â
As soon as Cui Yuhui just stepped out of her room, Qiao Cheng pushed the ice cream to Ming Shuâs side. He picked up the newspaper nearby and pretended to be reading.
Ming Shu: â...â
âLittle Qi, why are you eating ice cream this early?â
Ming Shu pointed to Qiao Cheng. âYour husband ate it.â
Cui Yuhui took a glance at the chocolate on Qiao Chengâs mouth that he hadnât had time to wipe off. âQiao Cheng, how dare you, has everything I told you just gone in one ear and out the other?!â
Cui Yuhui pulled Qiao Chengâs 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, âWonât you go to the company today?â
âOld Zheng will come to me,â Qiao Cheng answered. âWhat about preparing two more dishes for lunch?â
âOkay, I can do that,â Cui Yuhui agreed.
They didnât 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 himâZheng Guangming, who was said to be Qiao Cheng and Cui Yuhuiâs old classmate. They were very good friends.
âLittle Qi, why donât you greet your Uncle Zheng?â
Ming Shu took the order and nodded. âUncle Zheng.â
The gentlemanly man smiled slightly and said with an older generationâs amiableness, âLittle Qi, I havenât seen you in a long time, youâve become even more beautiful. I brought a gift for you, come and see if you like it?â
Zheng Guangming gave Ming Shu a necklace, which seemed quite expensive.
âThank you, Uncle Zheng.â
Zheng Guangming breathed a sigh of relief. âItâs good you like it. I was worrying you would dislike it. I donât know what you young girls like these days.â
Ming Shu had small talk with Zheng Guangming, then decisively sneaked into the kitchen.
She could still hear Zheng Guangming and Qiao Chengâs conversation vaguely.
âLittle Qi is in a senior this year, right?â
âRight, she will graduate soon. Sheâs been focusing on that bar all day long, I told her to intern at the company yet she didnât want to come. Alas.â
âSheâs still a kid, hahaha, kids like having fun...â
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: â...â
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: â...â
Other than the kind of business passed down from generation to generation like Yan Xueâs bar, what kind of shop owner like this that had reputation didnât have a background related to gangsters?
Iâm afraid Iâll be hacked to death and my body displayed in the street.
The Harmony System wouldnât be comfortable if it didnât instigate me to do bad things.
The bar had just opened for business today and there werenât many people inside. Ming Shu sneaked in and successfully got herself something to eat under the protest of all other staff.
âSister Qi, are you pregnant?â One young boy swept a gaze over Ming Shuâs belly suspiciously.
Ming Shu didnât get angry and just asked back with a smile, âWhen did humans have babies without sex?â
The young boy remembered that his boss didnât even have a boyfriend.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
So he gave her a sympathetic look, then walked away holding some stuff in his hands.
Ming Shu: â...â 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 todayâs show.
It seemed the band members werenât 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. âDo you want your hands or not?â
Yu Jing, who was cold and noble just now, immediately changed his expression. âMy hands are belong to me, does it have anything to do with you if I want them or not?â
Yu Jing became a little anxious again after finishing the sentence.
Ming Shu said casually, âNo, but if your hands are useless, it might affect my business here. So I must remind you of this as the boss.â
âWithout me, you can still recruit someone else. No one is irreplaceable.â As Yu Jing said this, it was like he had armed it with spines and each word was dangerous. âMove aside.â
Ming Shu spread out her arms innocently. âYoung man, Iâm not in the way, okay?â
She only stood on the edge. The position where they were now was probably in Yu Jingâs way, but there was much space beside them.
He only needed to take two more steps aside.
Yu Jing gradually lost his temper. âI must go through from your position, so what?â
âNothing.â Ming Shu moved aside and the flashing lights on the stage were reflected in her eyes, glimmering. âIâll just deduct your salary.â
Yu Jing: â...â
âFuck!â
Yu Jing suddenly exploded and startled Peng Pai who happened to come over a lot. âBoss... Why are you using bad language again?â
Yu Jing turned his head and glared at Peng Pai.
Peng Pai: â...â
After Yu Jing left angrily, Peng Pai looked at Ming Shu dumbfoundedly. âSister Qi, what happened to our boss?â
âDidnât you reject him?â
Peng Pai was horrified to hear this. âNo, howâs that possible... No... How did you know that?â
âI heard it.â
âYou were also present last night?â Peng Pai became even more horrified. âWere you with our boss? What happened to him last night?â
Yesterday when Yu Jing returned, his entire person almost exploded, and it took them great effort to pacify him.
âNothing.â
âNothing?â
âYes, nothing.â
âImpossible, there must be something. Sister Qi, tell me, what on earth did my boss go through last night?â
Ming Shu unfolded her eyebrows and smiled. âIâm not gonna tell you.â
Peng Pai: â...â
Why didnât he realize that Sister Qi was so funny before?
