The custodian didn't expect Yin Lian to tell such a big lie. He immediately opened his mouth and said angrily: "What kind of gem!? There is no such thing!"
Yin Lian ignored him and said loudly: "I'm sorry, does anyone know where the person in charge of the Food Association is? Can you help me find someone? I want to complain! My storage compartment was smashed. The gems are also missing! I can’t believe this happened... I want to find the person responsible. www.しwxs.com"
It was the end of the game at this time, and there were many people around. When they saw the commotion here, they all gathered around. People in any world seem to like to watch the excitement, so it didn't take long for a lot of people to gather around.
When Yin Lian and the two children went to get the condiment box, it was just when the game was about to start. There were few people in the hall, and no one would see the custodian with a bad attitude. But now that everyone was watching, the custodian had to be more cautious and not say bad words at will.
So he could only repeat again: "What gem... I don't know at all. There is nothing in the cabinet at all, don't talk nonsense!"
Yin Lian then said: "If there is nothing in the cabinet, why would you smash it!?"
The custodian originally wanted to say that it was because you took the key away... but Yin Lian rented the storage unit after registration. In theory, as long as she returns the key or renews the fee after the end of tomorrow, it is in compliance with the rules. It's just that the attitude she showed before was that she would not return the key, so the custodian wanted to find someone to change the key.
Unexpectedly, Yin Lian caught the handle.
The keeper was anxious and angry, and said, "You don't put any gems in your cabinet at all!"
Amidst the noise, the person in charge of the Food Association separated from the crowd and came over at this moment. Yin Lian looked up following the sound and found an old man with white hair walking over, followed by capable men and women who looked like important figures.
The most surprising thing is that the people walking side by side with the white-haired old man are Sal and Celia whom Yin Lian met before. The white-haired old man seems to respect them very much.
Sal saw Yin Lian, nodded and smiled at her, and Celia simply blew a kiss.
When the old man came over, Yin Lian knew the other person's identity from the reactions of the people around him. That person turned out to be the local branch president of the Food Association.
The branch president saw what was going on here and asked, "What happened?"
Then someone took the initiative and said: "There is a little girl here who lost something. She said it was a pair of rubies and sapphires as big as pigeon eggs. Her things seemed to be stored in a locker, but the locker was found by the custodian. When they came to open it, her things were gone. But the safe insisted that she didn't store anything in the cabinet, but they couldn't explain why they wanted to open the cabinet."
After hearing this, the president said: "Everyone, please be quiet."
After everyone calmed down, he asked Yin Lian: "Miss, did you really store a pair of gems in the locker here?"
Yin Lian replied: "Of course it is true."
The president said: "To be honest, few people would store such valuable things in the lockers at the venue. After all, it is just a wooden locker, and most people don't believe in its safety. But since it is stored in the association Naturally, we have the responsibility to take good care of things, but if you really lose a pair of gems here, we will definitely find a way to help you get them back...if you can't get them back, we will also be responsible for compensation."
Yin Lian nodded and said, "If that's the case, of course it's best."
The president said: "But before that, I hope to say a few words to the custodian of our guild."
After hearing this, Yin Lian stretched out a hand to play with the big earrings hanging from her ears, and said, "Please."
The president walked over and asked the custodian: "Why did you let people pry this locker off?"
The custodian looked a little panicked and said hesitantly: "President! Don't believe her, she just wants to cheat money! Do you think they look like rich people?"
The president looked at him and said in a calm tone: "What I'm asking is why did you let someone pry this locker off?"
The custodian's eyes were rolling around for a long time, and he finally calmed down a little and said, "That's it. Before the game, these kids suddenly came over and said that they had lost their seasoning box! The key was always in their hands. No one else had touched their cabinet, so how could something be lost? So I thought they must be trying to blackmail me! After I exposed it, they took the key away and refused to give it back. I wanted to be on the safe side. That’s why I decided to change the locks!”
The president said: "Didn't you see what they saved?"
The custodian replied immediately and very quickly: "No!"
"Without you, how can I be sure that someone didn't lose anything!?"
The custodian was stunned.
The president continued: "You raise your head and take a closer look at that lady's appearance. It may be true that the two children brought by this lady have no money at home, but that is a noble lady from a foreign country. Look at how she is dressed, does she look like someone who is short of money and needs to blackmail her?"
The custodian raised his head and looked at Yin Lian, and then saw the long earrings studded with gems hanging from Yin Lian's ears - Yin Lian had already pushed away the hair blocking her ears without knowing it was appropriate, and the small windbreaker outside was also He took it off and hung it on his arm, revealing a gorgeous and beautiful little dress.
The jade bracelet on the wrist, the chain on the chest, and the gems on the earlobes all say one sentence: "Sister is not short of money!"
The custodian suddenly took a breath.
He then became anxious and said: "President, I did not steal the gems! Really! She did not store any gems in the cabinet!"
The president asked: "Then what did she keep in the cabinet?"
The custodian's breath suddenly froze.
"You want to say that she rented a cabinet and didn't put anything in it, but she insisted on saying that she lost something, just to frame you?" The president said calmly.
The keeper was silent for a long time before finally admitting: "She kept spice boxes in the cabinet! Two spice boxes! Really, there are no gems!"
If it was just a spice box, forget it. If Yin Lian really insists that it is a priceless gem, then he will lose everything and cannot afford to pay for it.
The president asked: "Where is the spice box?"
The custodian said: "It's...in cabinet No. 73."
So someone dug out the key, opened cabinet No. 73, and took out two spice boxes. When Wika saw the boxes, she jumped up happily and said, "Ah! My spice box!"
Then she reacted suddenly and covered her mouth.
The president looked at Yin Lian and said with a smile: "It seems that what the lady lost was not a gem?"
Yin Lian raised her head and said calmly: "No matter what I threw, it is actually the same." Then she said, "These two children discovered that the spice box was missing just before the start of the game. Speaking of which, I It’s also strange, why did things get lost at that time? This should be... not a coincidence, right? If the custodians of the Food Association all have the same character as this one, I think the outcome of the chef competition can be controlled."
After hearing this, the president's eyes sharpened and he said, "I understand. I will investigate this matter carefully."
Then Yin Lian asked the two children to get his seasoning box, and then he bowed to the president and others before starting to leave with the two children.
At this time, when the noble brother and sister saw that Yin Lian and others were leaving, they immediately wanted to follow them. Unexpectedly, they turned their eyes and shouted: "Your Highnesses, please go slowly!"
The two were entangled by the president, and when they escaped, they found that Yin Lian and the two children had disappeared without a trace.
When she returned to Moore's house, Mrs. Moore was frightened when she heard about this incident, and then expressed her gratitude to Yin Lian very excitedly. Yin Lian smiled and shook his head and said, "It's actually nothing."
Mrs. Moore said: "It cost Miss Lian a lot of money. The money for the seasonings should be paid to me..."
Yin Lian said: "No, this little money is actually nothing to me, just consider it the accommodation fee and the guide fee for Wenxi." Then she paused and then said, "But then again, Wimsey and Wika are both very talented in cooking."
Although Mrs. Moore could afford a few silver coins, it was still a big expense, so when Yin Lian said this, Mrs. Moore was still very grateful.
If Yin Lian had done this when she first took advantage of the Moore family, Mrs. Moore might have just thought that she had aristocratic habits and spent money lavishly. However, Yin Lian helped out in an emergency, and then paid for accommodation and guide fees without thinking of anything in return. The statement reassured Mrs. Moore, but that was of a different nature.
Mrs. Moore said: "Yes, they are all very talented children. We don't know who we have offended. We actually want to deal with two children and disrupt their future. This is too much."
Yin Lian actually had somewhat guessed the specific reason, and thought to herself, maybe this matter really has nothing to do with you as parents.
Then she said: "Speaking of which, if Wenxi can win the grand prize this time, he should be able to go to the institute once, right? Speaking of which, I heard that Wenxi also won the award last year. Have you gone to the culinary institute to study?"
Mrs. Moore paused for a moment before saying: "...Ah, actually according to Wimsey's intention, he plans to accumulate practice time, and then when he has saved enough money, he will go directly to study for half a year to a year."
After hearing this, Yin Lian suddenly fell into deep thought. A full award is one month of training time, which is six to twelve times in half a year to a year. That is to say, Wenxi will not be able to save enough training time until he is at least sixteen years old.
This time is a bit long.
After a while, Yin Lian came to his senses: "...Is it a lack of money?"
Mrs. Moore paused and then said: "Yes, going to the institute to practice is quite strenuous for a civilian family like ours. Although the practice itself does not cost money, the usual meals, accommodation, ingredients and seasonings It all costs money... Although we can still afford it, Wimsey said that he doesn’t want to do it and it’s better to wait until he has more money before going.”
After hearing this, Yin Lian laughed and said, "Actually, Mrs. Moore, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are willing to accept my employment..."
