"Your brother has to play in a training match today, so I'll accompany you to find a job. Is that okay?"
In a mid-to-high-end restaurant, Zhou Shuyi looked at Xu Xiaoling in front of her with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Xu Xiaoling nodded obediently, then looked at the decoration facilities in the store, then picked up the menu and studied it carefully.
In this magical city where land is at a premium, even a simple dish in this restaurant is enough to cover her living expenses for a week.
The other diners around him were all dressed in gold and silver, fashionable and elegant, and from time to time they would say a few lines about the history of Ingrid, which made Xu Xiaoling sigh and feel inferior.
"Uh, I told you, don't call me sister-in-law, it will be misunderstood. Your brother and I are just good colleagues and good friends." Zhou Shuyi explained with a smile.
"The fact that I call you sister-in-law has nothing to do with my brother. It's just a very affectionate title. Moreover, I work alone in this big city. Having a sister-in-law like you will make me safer. What do you think?" Xu Xiaoling said it with certainty.
Zhou Shuyi was speechless for a moment.
After all, Xin is a quasi-top student. He talks in one way and he doesn't quite understand the meaning. But when the word "safety" was mentioned, Zhou Shuyi felt it was still necessary.
After all, I am considered a prominent figure in all aspects of this magical city. Who dares to bully my "sister-in-law", Zhou Shuyi?
Looking at Xu Xiaoling studying the menu, Zhou Shuyi felt more and more that she was an extremely smart and exquisite girl.
Soon after.
The food is served.
Zhou Shuyi pointed to the hard dish in the center of the table and said, "Xiao Ling, try it, roasted suckling pig."
Xu Xiaoling glanced at it and quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
In Sister Zhou's confusion, she said to herself, "I want to call my brother."
Zhou Shuyi smiled: "It's okay, you Zhou...your sister-in-law still has this little money, not to mention it's your first time coming to the magic city, so I should do my best to be a landlord."
In her opinion, Xu Xiaoling must have thought that the roasted suckling pig was too precious and had no idea what to do with it.
But Xu Xiaoling shook his head while waiting for the video call to be connected.
In Sister Zhou's confusion, the video was connected. Xu Mo on the other side of the phone took off his earphones and asked, "What are you doing? I'm busy. I'll talk about it later."
On Xu Xiaoling's mobile phone, everyone in EDG was huddled together.
The factory director and Meiko both wanted to be on camera.
The iBoy behind him wanted to ride on the factory director’s face and squeeze into the camera.
Xu Xiaoling smiled slightly, and in the next second, the front camera of his mobile phone was pointed at the roasted suckling pig, then he opened his mouth wide and leaned towards it: "Hello, EDG brothers, let me show you three pigs and one pig. Remember to give me a thumbs up. "
Xu Mo: "..."
Zhou Shuyi: "..."
EDG everyone: "..."
…
In the evening, Xu Xiaoling was sent to the EDG base.
"How is it? Did your sister Shuyi help you find a job?" Xu Mo asked.
Leaning against the door, looking at the factory manager who was carrying a basin of water and bending down to wash his hair, Xu Xiaoling said: "I have looked for it, but none of them are suitable for me. I just want to work during the summer to save some living expenses. I don't want to go to a coffee shop. Be an apprentice."
"That's true."
The frothy factory director raised his head and said: "How about I ask Sister Bu to see if there are any positions in EDG? If not, you can be responsible for ordering takeout for us. Recently, the food cooked by my aunt is getting worse and worse. have eaten."
"Pull you down." Xu Mo rolled his eyes at the factory director.
He couldn't even think about leaving Xu Xiaoling in EDG.
Especially iboy, he has evil intentions at first glance!
"Let's do this. After dinner, I will take you to a place."
After Xu Mo finished speaking, the factory director put his head into the basin, blew bubbles and said, "I'll give it to you."
after dinner.
EDG's classic business car was parked at an intersection in Shanghai.
"Internet cafe?" the factory director asked: "You want to send my sister to the Internet cafe to work as a cashier?"
"Is there a problem?" Xu Mo asked.
"That's not the case." The factory director waved his hand.
These high-end Internet cafes are all non-smoking. Working as a cashier there for a whole summer feels like the best solution.
Xu Xiaoling also nodded, she was qualified for this job.
Xu Mo opened the door and was about to open it, but the factory director quickly stopped him.
Then he said in a deep voice: "You and I are both MSI and Intercontinental Championship champions. It doesn't matter if we usually walk on the street. When we come to a place like an Internet cafe, we will definitely be recognized. In order to cause unnecessary trouble , it’s better to cover it up.”
With that said, he took out a mask and sunglasses and handed them to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo didn't refuse, put on a mask and glasses, and led Xu Xiaoling out of the car.
Behind him, the factory director was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the car.
"Oh my god, it's just a pair of masks and glasses?" The factory director was speechless. Looking at Xu and Mo who had already entered the store, he gritted his teeth and took out the scarf that Meiko left in the car last winter.
"Without me, do you know how to talk to others? I still have to deal with this kind of thing. There is no other way."
The factory director wrapped himself in a scarf, but felt it was still inappropriate, so he also put on a big dog-skin hat from the car. He was fully armed except for his eyes, and then walked into the Internet cafe.
As soon as we entered the door, the young lady at the front desk shouted: "Welcome to Wangyu Internet Cafe!"
He glanced at the factory director and was stunned: "Sir, are you back from Antarctica?"
It is now July, the hottest season of the year in the northern hemisphere. Even though it is already night, the temperature is still 20 or 30 degrees Celsius.
The factory director appeared wearing a dog-skin hat and a big scarf, which immediately aroused everyone's surprised gaze.
"Uh, no, no, no." The factory director's voice came out through the thick scarf, sounding loud and angry.
"Sorry, if you have any infectious disease, we can't let you in and surf the Internet. Go and check elsewhere." A woman in a white T-shirt and denim shorts came over, opened the glass door directly, and issued an eviction order.
"Fuck!"
The factory director was dumbfounded, "I'm not sick! I'm with the two of them!"
The two brothers, Xu Mo and Xu Xiaoling, turned their heads in unison when they saw the Ice and Snow Festival limited factory director.
Xu Mo also tugged at the corner of his sister's clothes and warned: "I don't know, I don't know. If you make friends with this kind of person, your boss will think that you have a problem with your IQ."
Xu Xiaoling nodded quickly.
The factory director is still struggling.
The customer sitting at machine No. 1 closest to the cashier stood up. He was obviously a regular customer of this store.
The person carrying him was a tall and thick man, with a golden chain around his neck, and an indescribable animal tattoo could be faintly seen in his cool summer clothes. He looked like a ruthless person on the road.
He shouted directly: "Hey! Are you crazy? It's summer and you want to spend the winter in an Internet cafe!"
"No, I know them both. My friend came here to apply for a job as a cashier..." The factory director quickly explained.
But the social eldest brother ignored him, pushed the factory director, and drove him outside: "That's nonsense! It's people like you that I hate the most. Get out of here and don't get involved!"
"Okay, let's do it, right? Do you know who I am?" The factory director got hot-tempered. He took his hat, pulled off his scarf, pointed at his face and said, "I'm the factory director!"
"If you give it back to the factory director, you, the president, are useless!" The social eldest brother continued to push the factory director away.
"No, I'm the factory director, I'm EDG jungler!"
"How many EDGs! I've never heard of them!"
Continuing to push forward, the factory director has been pushed out of the Internet cafe.
"My clear love! The pig girl of MSI, the mantis of the intercontinental competition, don't you know? Kazik! Whoosh! Throw it! Jump up, and then I'll scratch you, scratch you, scratch you!"
The factory director said and gestured.
He imitated the movements of a praying mantis vividly.
He held up his "paw" and scratched his eldest brother in front of him.
The eldest brother was speechless, and the old man on the subway used his cell phone.
"He is indeed an idiot!"
The social eldest brother was angry and speechless. He turned around and walked back to the Internet cafe. Then he stood in front of the glass door with his fists in his hands, staring coldly at the factory director.
Seeing this, Xu Mo couldn't hold it in any longer.
He glanced at the screen of Social Brother, who was playing Red Alert.
What is the relationship between RTS players and your Moba?
Taking off his sunglasses, Xu Mo looked at Li Qian'er at the front desk and said with a smile: "Sister, I heard that you are recruiting cashiers here, and I want my sister to come and work for a few months!"
"Hey, isn't this our champion player's companion? What kind of wind brings you here?"
Li Qian'er held her fists in her hands, slightly opened her red lips, and smiled lightly.
"Anyway, I will always bear in mind my sister's friendship for me!" As he said that, Xu Mo also hammered his heart: "We are brothers, in our hearts!"
"brother?"
Li Qian'er smiled, reached out and grabbed Xu Mo's collar, pulled him all the way to a small corner at the back, then pressed forward and said with such a charming face: "I want to sleep with you, but you treat me as your brother?"
"Dah!"
Xu Mo crossed his hands and said sternly: "In our line of work, what matters is the skills of a boy. Let's do this. You wait until I win the championship in S7, and you can take your pick!"
Li Qian'er looked Xu Mo up and down, then made a fist with her palms and tapped Xu Mo's heart gently, saying softly: "Then I'm waiting for your good news, little brother~"
After saying that, he moved his charming figure and walked towards the front desk.
At the same time, a voice came over.
"The daily work is to cashier and open cards. You don't need to clean the table and clean things. I'll give it to you on a daily basis. It's 200 a day, but you may need to work two shifts."
Xu Mo quickly followed up: "Is two hundred too little? You don't know the prices of things in the magic city yet?"
Glancing at the factory director who was still looking outside the door but not daring to come in, Li Qian'er said: "Do you think my money was brought in by the strong wind? This is already the price of a favor."
Xu Mo added: "Two hundred is enough. You don't need the night shift. I don't worry about it at night."
"Okay." Li Qian'er nodded generously.
Then he took two steps forward, opened the glass door, and let the factory director in.
As soon as the factory director entered the door, he first glared at the social man, then straightened his clothes, then pressed his elbows on the cashier's desk, and said in a serious voice: "As for my sister's job, let me tell you two things. Although she is a summer job, It’s not okay to pay less than 170 a day, and you have to be able to leave at any time. You can’t deduct money when you leave. It’s best to sign an agreement, so that..."
Li Qian'er simply ignored the factory director, looked at Xu Mo and said with a smile, "I did you a favor, so you can do me the same."
Looking at the charming look on the landlady's face, Xu Mo said: "As long as it's not physical, it's fine."
Li Qian'er rolled her eyes at Xu Mo, then clapped her hands and said loudly: "Blessed are the customers who came online today!"
"Everyone should know these two people, right?"
When the landlady shouted, everyone surfing the Internet in the lobby turned to look.
Then they all exclaimed.
"Damn it, factory director!"
"Fuck, Mo!"
After all, LOL players account for the majority, especially since the end of MSI, the domestic league market has been revived, and there are many players playing LOL in Internet cafes.
They all knew both men.
One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.
A few minutes later, Xu Mo and the factory director were already surrounded by people.
They all took out their mobile phones to take photos, and then posted them on WeChat Moments and Weibo to show off.
"Xu Mo! You made a big mistake!"
The factory director lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.
"It is a breach of contract for us to attend this kind of meeting privately, and EDG can sue us!"
"It's okay, we just went out to surf the Internet. The audience saw it and wanted to take a photo to commemorate it. Is there a problem?" Xu Mo comforted with a smile.
"snort!"
The factory director dismissed it and said, "Then you can stay here and take a group photo. I'll wait for you in the car!"
Just as he was about to move, a female fan wearing an EDGS 5 team uniform ran up.
"Mingkai, I've been your fan for five years. I've liked you since you were in WE!"
"Wow! I finally saw him in person! So handsome!"
"Can you give me your autograph?"
Xu Mo made room for this female fan with a first-rate figure and a pretty face. She borrowed a marker from the front desk and rushed to the factory director.
Then he held his head high, patted his heavy chest, and said, "Just sign here!"
"Not so good."
At this moment, the factory director had no intention of leaving. He looked at his female fan with great satisfaction and said, "It wouldn't be a good idea to change places."
In the end it was signed on my waist.
Immediately, more and more fans came together.
The factory director and Xu Mo were very busy. ·
Li Qian'er announced at this moment: "In order to welcome the two champions, our Internet cafe will launch a promotion today, and you will get 80 for every 100 yuan of Internet fee!"
…
"I just remembered, isn't this the Internet cafe we came to pick you up that day?" On the way back to the EDG base, the factory director suddenly realized.
"Yeah." Xu Mo nodded.
"Is the boss lady interested in you?" Xu Xiaoling asked with a gossipy look.
Previously in the Internet cafe, she had been watching silently from behind.
"Just friends, just friends." Xu Mo quickly declared.
"How many good friends do you have?" Xu Xiaoling asked with a smile.
Xu Mo really thought about it, but soon gave up and said with a tigerish face: "Children should not interfere with adults' matters."
Xu Mo then explained the matter to Xu Xiaoling.
There was a spare room at Zhou Shuyi's place, so for more than a month, he let his sister stay at Sister Zhou's place temporarily. Xu Mo didn't take advantage of the rent and would transfer it to Zhou Shuyi.
Then Xu Xiaoling worked at Wangyu Internet Cafe. Anyway, he commuted from Sister Zhou’s house, so he started taking the subway four years in advance.
These are things that must be experienced, and Xu Mo will not interfere too much.
After all, Xu Xiaoling is already a college student.
And with her ability, it is only a matter of time before she accepts these things.
"And that's it."
Xu Mo fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper: "To celebrate your admission to college, I'll give you a small gift."
The factory director who was driving glanced at him and said, "That's it?"
Is a piece of paper considered a gift?
Check?
Xu Xiaoling opened it and immediately covered her mouth, unable to stop being shocked.
Xu Mo said slowly: "I know that Jay Chou is your favorite singer, so when we played in the Wanwan competition, I went through a lot of effort to get an autograph for you, and I took out this autograph. You’ve got four years of bragging material in college!”
At this moment, the car stopped at a red light.
The factory director turned to look at Xu Mo, the co-pilot, with an extremely solemn expression, even on the verge of tears. He said, "So, the rumors are true? Are you really planning to leave EDG and join JT?"
