coffee

The rehearsal went smoothly, no one slacked off, and everyone did their job. Wu Siqi relaxed and retreated behind the scenes to eat lunch.

Meals were provided for the event, and Wu Siqi ordered boxed meals with three dishes and a soup from a nearby fast food restaurant.

Wu Siqi was holding a lunch box and looking at the monitor. In addition to the stage part, the entire event also had special stalls, and the stalls had situational performances arranged in different time periods. There were many monitors installed on the scene, and she could coordinate and mobilize the entire event by sitting backstage.

The whole event is divided into two days, Saturday and Sunday. The activities on the two days are different. The morning will follow the Saturday activity script, and the afternoon will start the Sunday activity script.

Wu Siqi was halfway through his meal when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number from the same city.

Wu Siqi put down the lunch box, picked up the phone and walked out. Xu Tingting followed her closely with her lunch box in her hand.

Wu Siqi: "Hello, who are you?"

A woman answered the phone: "Hello, I saw you posted an adoption notice online. Are you available to discuss this?"

Wu Siqi hummed: "Yes, but I'm at work now, so it's a little inconvenient. My phone number can be added to my social account. You can add me and we can get to know each other first, okay?"

Potential adopter: "I'm adding you now. Sorry to bother you at work."

Wu Siqi waved his hands at the air and said, "It's okay, it's okay. That's it for now." Then he hung up the phone.

Her expression became lost for a moment, and she forced a self-deprecating smile. It's just a cat that you rescued by chance. As usual, your mission is completed as long as you can send it to an adoptive family safely and smoothly. Don't look like this.

Through that person's friend request, the other party called himself Xiaoyan. Wu Siqi replied "Xiaowu", and they got to know each other. He briefly learned about the other party's basic situation. He lived alone, had a stable job, and had two cats at home. He was simply the perfect adopter.

Putting away her phone, Wu Siqi stared at the monitor, her mind wandering. Xu Tingting's voice called her back from her wandering thoughts, "Teacher, what are you thinking about?"

She put away her dazed expression and said, "I'm not thinking about anything. Maybe I didn't get enough rest. I'm going to buy a cup of coffee. Do you want one?"

Xu Tingting stood up with her and put the walkie-talkie back on the charging station. "Yes, I will go with the teacher."

Wu Siqi pushed her back onto the folding stool and said, "Stay here. I'll bring you something to drink."

She pouted in dissatisfaction, but didn't dare to disobey the order: "Okay, just latte, teacher."

Wu Siqi responded with an "ok" and walked out. There were many coffee shops in the business district. She randomly picked a chain brand that looked relatively quiet, asked the clerk for fifty cups of coffee, and asked them to lend her a small cart to send her back.

The clerk scanned the payment code for her and demonstrated how to issue an invoice on the system. "Just apply for the invoice here. Fifty cups is a bit much. You might have to wait twenty or thirty minutes. Is that okay?"

Wu Siqi waved his hand, "Take your time, I'm not in a hurry. It would be too much trouble for you to order so much at once."

The waitress handed Wu Siqi the two cups of coffee she had ordered in advance. "It's not a problem at all. We want to thank you for making such a big order."

Wu Siqi pointed to the table in the corner and said, "I'll sit over there and wait. When you're ready, come and call me. I'm not in a hurry. Take your time."

The saleswoman raised her hand in a gesture of invitation, "Yes, ma'am, we'll get it done as soon as possible."

She tore open the straw packaging and put it into the cup, taking a deep sip. It was so cold, worthy of being a famous iced coffee company. Wu Siqi shivered with cold, but the chill on her head made her feel much more sober.

She must have been too busy recently and had too many bad things happen to her, which is why she is so sad for no reason.

The coffee she ordered was the simplest standard latte. Soon the waiter pushed a cart loaded with fifty cups of coffee in front of her, and the store sent a tall boy to help her push it out the door.

She declined the clerk's offer of help. After all, it was already a big hassle for them to lend her the cart, and she didn't want to ask them to help deliver the goods to the event.

Wu Siqi was pushing the cart, which was much heavier than herself, under the scorching sun. Halfway through, she felt a little regretful. She should have asked the male clerk to help her. She had overestimated her own physical strength.

She pushed the cart to the side so that it wasn't blocking anyone from passing by. She put her hands on her hips and panted heavily. She wiped the sweat off her forehead, pushed her bangs back, gritted her teeth, and held on to the cart with both hands. "Let's go! I'm an independent woman, there's nothing I can't do."

He gritted his teeth and pushed the cart, wanting to go faster but not too fast for fear of spilling the coffee. Wu Siqi lowered his head and pushed forward. Suddenly, the cart he was pushing became lighter, and there was an extra hand next to the handlebar.

She was so startled that she looked up suddenly, and saw Yi Nian's brilliant smile. The strength in her hands eased, and Wu Siqi stood up straight. Her mind was confused and she didn't know what to say.

Yi Ning spoke first: "Why don't you find someone to help you, Team Leader Xiaowu?"

Wu Siqi wiped his sweat while pushing the cart with her, saying, "Everyone is busy, and it's hard to find someone. It's only two steps away."

Yi Ning said with an exaggerated expression, "Wow, what a considerate boss! It must be fun to work under you."

Wu Siqi: "Haha, it's okay."

With someone helping, pushing the cart became much easier. Although Yi Ning looked thin and leggy, he was incredibly strong. Wu Siqi didn't even feel that he was exerting any strength, and the cart moved forward steadily.

Pushing the car back to the event site effortlessly, Wu Siqi clapped her hands and said, "Everyone, take a break. Come and get something to drink." The exhausted crowd gathered around, and the younger colleagues were not stingy with their gratitude: "Sister Siqi, I love you so much. I'm just craving something cold."

Sister Jin also came to take a cup and report on the progress. The rehearsal for Saturday's program was successfully completed and they were ready to start rehearsing Sunday's program. Wu Siqi nodded to indicate that she understood.

She picked up the paper tray, filled it with four cups of coffee, and handed it to Yi Ning who was standing beside her. "Thank you for your help. These are for your group members."

Yi Ning took the coffee, tilted his head, rolled his eyes, and let out a long sigh: "That's it~"

Wu Siqi felt a little embarrassed. Whether it was saving the situation or just helping out a lot, he said, "After the event, I'll treat your band to a meal as a token of my gratitude."

Yi Ning shook his head: "No need."

Unexpectedly rejected, Wu Siqi widened his eyes in surprise and stuttered: "Then? That should be... Let me think about it."

Yi Ning waved his hand and said jokingly, "No need to invite them, just invite me. They don't like to eat."

"That's not good." Wu Siqi pursed his lips and scratched the tip of his index finger with his thumbnail. "Then...what do they like to eat? I'll have someone bring it to them later."

Yuanbao candles, hahahaha Yi Ning laughed to herself inexplicably, she didn't say what was in her heart, her laughter was confusing, Wu Siqi was a little embarrassed, her expression was between laughing and not laughing.

Yi Ning soon stopped laughing and realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate. He scratched his hair and said embarrassedly, "It's nothing. No need to bother. Just treat it as a joke. Thank you for the coffee."

Wu Siqi nodded quickly and frowned as he watched her back as she walked towards the rest area. What a strange person, but also very cute.

Xu Tingting, who heard the noise, also ran over. "Oh my god, Teacher, you carried all this coffee by yourself! You didn't even ask me to help you. Look, you're all sweaty."

She even took out a tissue to wipe her sweat, but Wu Siqi grabbed it first and said, "I'll do it myself. It's just a little thing. It's more important to focus on the rehearsal."

"Okay." Xu Tingting lowered her hands.

Wu Siqi handed her the individually wrapped coffee, "Yours, no sugar, less ice."

Xu Tingting saw that her coffee was different from others and laughed again. She held the coffee in her hand and said, "Thank you, teacher~"

After saying it was a small matter, Wu Siqi took the script for Sunday's show and said, "I'll go over the process. Please keep an eye on the main control panel for me."

Sister Jin followed her and bumped her shoulder with gossip. "I heard Tingting is being transferred to Group C. Is that true? I'm so reluctant."

Wu Siqi flipped through the script without looking up. "With her abilities, she's fully capable of taking over Ah Le's team. What's wrong? Didn't you refuse the transfer last time?"

"I don't want to be transferred. I'm already in my thirties, and my children are still young. I don't have the energy like you to work overtime every day." Sister Jin continued to look at her with gossipy eyes. "But I heard that your young apprentice doesn't want to be transferred either. We were chatting yesterday and she said she would resign if I forced her to be transferred."

After she finished speaking, she finally raised her head. "Huh? Did she really say that?"

"I heard her say that with both ears." Sister Jin kindly reminded: "I'm not just guessing, nor am I just imagining things. Tingting seems to have feelings for you. Be careful not to spread the news to the higher-ups, or it might have a bad influence."

Wu Siqi was not completely unaware, but the other party had not done anything too out of line, so she could only pretend not to know.

Wu Siqi: "I'll pay attention to this. Maybe we're just being overly suspicious. It's normal for children to rely on adults."

Sister Jin shrugged, "Yeah, by the way, the temporary worker told me to go back to school early, and then...

What they didn't know was that they were now standing outside the lounge. Although the two of them spoke quietly, the four people in the lounge could hear it clearly with eight ears.

At the underworld party, the four gods stood in a row, pulled the door curtain open a little, and peeked at Wu Siqi and the other person chatting.

On the top of the stack was a woman with silver hair but still a beautiful face. Her leg accidentally stepped on the calf of the woman at the bottom, who was dressed entirely in black. "Mrs. Meng! You stepped on me!"

Her voice was soft and gentle, and her words were as pleasant as singing: "Oh, I'm sorry, Xiao Hei."

Yi Ning was stuck in the middle, baring his fangs: "Xiao Hei, how dare you say that to others? Your hair is tied too high, it's hurting my eyes."

Fan Yu raised her head in dissatisfaction and flicked her braid in the face. "Lao Bai has the same hairstyle as me, and I haven't seen Meng Ma say anything to her. What are you complaining about, Hen Ning?"

Below Meng Meng is Xie Ling, who is dressed in white. They look exactly the same, and the only thing that can distinguish them is the clothes they wear.

Xie Ling always spoke with a mocking tone: "Henning, your little master is really popular."

Yi Ning still bared his teeth and snorted in dissatisfaction, "Tsk, a mere human."

Meng Meng reminded her: "Little cat, you only have one year left to complete your merits, so don't do anything that will harm the world."

"Why? Don't worry, Mommy Meng, I won't eat her." Yi Ning pulled out his head first. Fan Yu's hair was really eye-catching. He clenched his little paws into fists and rubbed his eyes hard, then tidied up his messy hair.

Fan Yu and Yi Ning had the best relationship. She put her elbow on her shoulder and said jokingly, "After more than three hundred years, you finally encountered it. You should thank that heavenly thunder."

Yi Ning pushed her elbow away, "Don't mention it. It hurt so much, and that vengeful creature ran away. If I hadn't met Xiao Wu, I would have been so angry that my mind would have been unstable."
