Chapter 33 Believe me, because I am also a green tea

Ji Qingzhi's words stunned Chen Xinyu. In her impression, Ji Qingzhi has always been a soft-hearted person, otherwise Yan Si would not always put other negative information on her. She thought that what she said today was that she agreed to it. She felt that it was smooth and not surprising at the same time. After all, Ji Qingzhi was just like that, otherwise she would not have come to apply for the job. So when she heard her words, she was a little confused for a while. She paused for half a minute before saying, "Ji Qingzhi, we clearly agreed on this, you are going too far."

"No, Chen Xinyu, when did I tell you? Didn't I say to go back and wait for notification?" Ji Qingzhi found it a little funny. Why was she still as stupid as ever?

"Isn't it a promise to let me go back and wait for notification?" Chen Xinyu continued to argue.

"Chen Xinyu, I think what you should do now is to find a reading comprehension class instead of looking for a job." Ji Qingzhi hung up the phone directly after saying this, too lazy to continue arguing with her. To be honest, she really didn't understand what Chen Xinyu was thinking. Did she think that she would be used if she came?

The beeping sound from the phone indicated that the person on the other end had hung up. Chen Xinyu looked at her phone in disbelief. Ji Qingzhi hung up the phone. Wasn't she afraid that she would go out and expose the secret? After all, the identity of an assistant is a very sensitive one.

Thinking of this, she sent another message to Ji Qingzhi, "Sister Qingzhi, since we have worked together for so long, please give me another chance? You are so popular now, you don’t want the people who like you to hear anything from me, right? 】

After seeing this message, Ji Qingzhi shook her head and smiled. She was so disappointed in herself. After holding it in for so long, the only plan left was to threaten herself. She was too lazy to reply and simply threw down her phone and prepared to go to bed. Before going to bed, she was still thinking about what to plant to fill the vegetable garden.

Jiang Wei and his department have a dinner party every month, and this time was the happiest one ever, especially Luo Kun. His hands were still shaking when he got in the car. He actually got Ji Qingzhi's TO signature. He glanced at his hands on the steering wheel, and then decisively changed seats with his colleague who hadn't drunk alcohol: "Lao Yang, you drive, I still need to calm down."

"Okay." Lao Yang swiftly changed seats with him, and then the car moved forward steadily. Luo Kun moved to the back seat and sent the TO signature he had just received to the group. By the way, he sent this photo to Da Yanzai, and then wrote: From today on, Chicken Wing Brother is a thing of the past, please call me Autograph Brother.

The most beautiful rainy night: No, you will always be called Chicken Wing Brother/Smile/

Hahahaha: This signature looks a bit fake, send it to me and I can help you verify it?

Come to me: No chicken wing brother, no meat sauce today? Still waiting for your evaluation.

Luo Kun replied: The meat sauce cannot be ordered in advance, so I didn’t buy it. I will queue up on the weekend.

His reply was quickly pushed up again, and the flood of replies below were all requests for him to be kicked down. At the beginning, those who replied were all genuinely waiting for his review, but most of the replies later on were just there to join in the fun, after all, netizens love to join in the fun.

When he put away his phone, he found that the person next to him had fallen asleep. He patted his shoulder and said, "Liang Yuanchuan, wake up."

"This is the last chicken claw. Don't fight with me for it." The man who was woken up by the slapping said nonsense and pushed him away with both hands. Luo Kun was a little speechless: "No, is this a dream?"

Liang Yuanchuan, who was slowly waking up, looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, Brother Kun."

"It's okay. Did you dream about something delicious?" Luo Kun joked.

"Chicken feet casserole, I only ate two today." Liang Yuanchuan's tone was a little resentful.

At first, everyone was feeling sorry for the lack of braised chicken feet, but when the chicken feet were cooked, they realized that they tasted just as good as the braised ones, and were even softer and more delicious. Liang Yuanchuan was a slow person and always ate slowly, so he only ate two. After drinking, he felt sleepy. Unexpectedly, he dreamed that he turned into a hungry wolf and snatched chicken feet from them.

"Hahaha, I've long told you that you are too gentle and that you will suffer sooner or later. Now you know." Old Yang, who was driving in the front, smiled happily.

"I thought this kind of thing would only happen in the dormitory during my student days." Liang Yuanchuan shook his head and secretly made up his mind to act faster in the future.

"Just consider it as an experience gain. We should still come here for the next dinner party." Although they always went to a new place for their dinner parties before, Lao Yang estimated that they would not change the place next time because everyone was satisfied this time.

"By the way, Brother Kun, are you going to make meat sauce tomorrow?" Liang Yuanchuan asked.

"Yes, let's make it clear first. Each person can only buy two bottles. I can't give you one bottle each." Luo Kun gave a heads-up in advance.

Liang Yuanchuan was struggling between sleeping in and eating meat sauce, and finally decided: "Then let's line up together."

"Okay, let's set off at seven tomorrow." Luo Kun said as he adjusted the alarm on his phone.

"Didn't they say that the queue would start at 10 o'clock?" Liang Yuanchuan deliberately looked at the notice in front of Ji's Restaurant.

"If you really wait until 10 o'clock, you'll never get it in your lifetime." Luo Kun has seen several posts complaining about the long queues. Whenever he thinks he has arrived early enough, he always finds that there are others who have arrived even earlier.

"Okay." Liang Yuanchuan shrugged his head, not understanding why meat sauce was so popular but not mass-produced.

"The taste will definitely be affected by mass production, but this is also good." Luo Kun felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

"Okay." Liang Yuanchuan said helplessly.

After taking a bath in well water for two consecutive days, Ji Qingzhi felt as if her whole body had become lighter. She couldn't help but wonder, could this water have the effect of cleansing her essence and marrow? Thinking of this, Ji Qingzhi laughed at himself. Then she went straight to the backyard. Although it was spring, the temperature at night was still not high. She didn't know if the chicks and ducklings were cold.

Before she got close, she heard their voices, as if urging her to feed them quickly. She had originally planned to leave this matter to Aunt Liu, but when she heard their cries, Ji Qingzhi could not help but take a step forward. The feed and vegetables that she had fed them yesterday were all eaten up by them, and even the water in the basin was drunk up.

"You guys really know what's good." Ji Qingzhi chuckled, not forgetting to buy food troughs and water bowls for them today.

Starting today, the door to the front hall will not open until ten o'clock, so she is not in such a hurry.

With the well water, both the shallots and the Chinese cabbage grew very quickly. When she was hesitating whether to pack the cabbage, the system issued another task: "Grow green peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes, and you will be rewarded with 6,000 points."

Wow! Ji Qingzhi exclaimed, "Wow! In the past, all the tasks were issued one by one, but now all three are issued at once." However, this is also good, as the land she had just planned yesterday came in handy.

According to normal planting, these three things should be germinated first. At this time, Ji Qingzhi suddenly remembered the water lilies he was germinating, and hurried to the room to take them out. Sure enough, buds had sprouted on each lotus seed, and the germination rate was 100%.

With well water, it would be no problem whether to sow the seeds directly or to germinate them into seedlings before planting. Ji Qingzhi did not dwell too much on this issue, but chose to go out directly.

Even on Saturday, there were more people in the market than usual. Ji Qingzhi walked around the market wearing a mask. An hour later, she bought everything she needed.

*

Finally Saturday came. Qiu Tian got up at six o'clock. After packing up, she rode her electric scooter directly to Ji's Restaurant. She thought, no one can arrive earlier than her today. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at Ji's Restaurant, there were already two people queuing in front of them. She was deeply impressed and thought, fortunately she didn't really wait until ten o'clock to come.

The two people in front had the same thought when they saw her. When there were only two of them, they were still wondering if they had come too early. They should have come later. But after seeing Qiu Tian, ​​they felt that it was a good thing they had come early.

Just like that, when Luo Kun and Liang Yuanchuan arrived, there were already several people in front of them. At this time, Liang Yuanchuan, who was recognized as a gentleman, couldn't help but swear.

"Don't panic, I counted, there are exactly eight people in front of you, there's still room for us." Luo Kun comforted.

"Are you sure?" Liang Yuanchuan yawned while speaking. He didn't want to sacrifice his sleep time and not buy what he wanted.

"Purchase limit is two bottles per person. Even if they all buy some, there will be some for us. Don't worry." Luo Kun patted his shoulder, signaling him to rest assured.

Liang Yuanchuan opened the big eye and rubbed the notice of Ji's restaurant before he felt relieved. He stared at the closed door in front of him and sighed: "So we have to wait for a few more hours?"

"Xiao Liang, you can't do this. You want to eat but you're afraid of queuing. Be patient." Luo Kun said as he opened the group chat and talked to Da Yanzai. He continued to see netizens expressing their envy of him, and the corners of his lips never relaxed.

"I understand." Liang Yuanchuan answered weakly.

The conversation between the two was heard by the people in the queue in front of them, and they all had smiles in their eyes. Meeting the smiles in their eyes, Luo Kun acted very familiarly: "Are you here to buy meat sauce too?"

"I want to eat braised spareribs." The person in front shook his head.

"Then can you use your quota to buy two bottles for me?" Luo Kun's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Since I'm here, I must take some back to try myself." The man shook his head and directly rejected Luo Kun's suggestion. Although he queued up for the braised spare ribs, since he was here, he had to bring something back.

Liang Yuanchuan, who was standing next to Luo Kun, immediately grasped the point: "Do we have to queue up to eat braised spareribs now?"

"Yes, if you come too late and don't have the ingredients, you will be rejected."

Liang Yuanchuan and Luo Kun looked at each other after hearing this. They both saw worry in each other's eyes. Will they have the chance to come here for dinner next time?

They were chatting so seriously that they didn't even notice Ji Qingzhi riding his electric scooter past them. In the backyard, Aunt Liu was sorting out the ingredients she had brought back. This was her first time entering the kitchen from the backyard. She put the bags of chicken feet and chicken wings together, planning to collect them together later. She thought, she didn't know when Li Yuanyuan would come to work.

The voice behind her reminded her that Ji Qingzhi had arrived, so she turned around quickly: "Boss, it seems that there are more people queuing today than before."

"Don't worry about them." She announced the numbers and rules in advance. People who don't want to waste time should choose to leave when they see the queue, rather than continue to queue in the hope of getting away with it.

She knew that there were people online complaining about her hunger marketing, and some people didn't believe that she would just leave the money unearned. In response to these comments, Ji Qingzhi just wanted to answer them one sentence: they were overthinking it, she was just simply tired and couldn't do so much.

After greeting Aunt Liu, she went straight to the chicken coop with the newly bought feeding trough and water basin. The chicks were very excited when they heard her footsteps and kept chirping. Seeing the chicks, Ji Qingzhi's voice became two degrees softer: "Someone will come to feed you later."

She decided to give the task of feeding to Aunt Liu, who readily agreed and assured her, "Don't worry, boss. I will definitely take good care of it for you."

Aunt Liu was full of confidence. Before she went out to work, her family was a well-known chicken farmer in the village, so she knew some basic knowledge about raising chickens.

After doing all this, Ji Qingzhi took the seeds she had just bought to the vegetable garden. The vegetable garden she had planned yesterday was empty over there, and the weeds on it seemed to be waving at her. She took a quick look and estimated that it would take at least an hour to clean up the area and then plant the vegetables, so she gave up the idea of ​​planting vegetables first.

After sending the message, Chen Xinyu had been waiting for Ji Qingzhi's reply. Unfortunately, an entire night passed and there was still no reply from the other side. She bit her lip and told herself that Ji Qingzhi was forcing her to do all this, as she knew very well how much she needed this job.

Because of the vlog shot by Yun Xiangrong and Huo Yubai, as well as the photos that just won awards at the photography exhibition, Ji Qingzhi has had a lot of traffic on Big Eyes these past two days. Chen Xinyu simply changed her name to Ji Qingzhi's former assistant, and quickly attracted a group of people.

Hearing that she was going to live broadcast, everyone was full of curiosity. Chen Xinyu was someone who had been in the circle before, so she naturally knew what kind of name would attract people, so she posted a message to preview her upcoming live broadcast. The title of the article was "A Detailed Account of My Three Years as Ji Qingzhi's Assistant"

After typing all this, Chen Xinyu thought that if Ji Qingzhi wanted to stop her this time, the price would be her job in the store. Unfortunately, she didn't see Ji Qingzhi until just before the show started. She couldn't help but guess that Ji Qingzhi didn't see it.

Yan Si had guessed all of Chen Xinyu's movements since she left, and even her application to Ji Qingzhi was fueled by her. At this time, the assistant came over with a mobile phone: "Sister Yan, Chen Xinyu is live streaming, you are right, she will not let go of traffic like Ji Qingzhi's assistant."

"She is indeed an idiot. Watch out for her next move." Yan Si snorted coldly. This was part of her plan. With Ji Qingzhi jumping around so much now, it was difficult for her to do anything. But she could do something about Chen Xinyu since it wasn't her who ordered her to do so.

Everyone was sleeping in on weekend mornings, so there were not many people in Chen Xinyu's live broadcast room at the beginning, which made her very disappointed. Choosing to take this step meant that she was openly breaking up with Ji Qingzhi. Naturally, she hoped to have more traffic to lay the foundation for her future career.

Yes, Chen Xinyu has already made up her mind. She wants to take advantage of this wave of traffic to become an internet celebrity. By then, she will post some daily life of the crew, and I believe she will get a lot of attention.

Yawning: No, this sister is really Ji Qingzhi’s assistant?

Qingqing Zinyin: I seem to have seen her next to Ji Qingzhi before, it should be true.

Rainy Day Bad Mood: So what is she trying to do?

Caramel Macchiato: I don’t understand this, of course it’s just to take advantage of the popularity.

Chen Xinyu selectively answered questions from netizens. When asked why she was doing the live broadcast, she looked frank: I want to develop a new job. I became unemployed after Sister Qingzhi retired.

She said it lightly, but secretly led them to believe that her unemployment had something to do with Ji Qingzhi.

As expected, the haters smelled something and came over, starting to criticize: Ji Qingzhi is too selfish, he only cares about terminating his own contract and doesn't care about the staff around him?

Chen Xinyu: This has nothing to do with Sister Ji. It was all arranged by the company. I went to a restaurant for an interview yesterday, but unfortunately I didn’t pass.

Having said that, Chen Xinyu lowered her eyes, as if trying to hold back her tears. Soon, someone she had arranged in advance sent out the two recruitment information that Ji Qingzhi had sent yesterday.

Although the recruitment information later concealed some information, the resourceful netizens figured out at a glance that the restaurant recruiting was also Ji’s Restaurant.

Fengtai District is waiting for you: Wait, so this means that this assistant girl didn’t get the job?

Fan Ice Cream: What’s wrong with Ji Qingzhi? She caused someone to lose his job, and now she doesn’t even plan to arrange a new job for him?

Weimei Chunbai: So you jump out now and want us to help you question Ji Qingzhi? Sisters, believe me, I am a green tea girl. You can tell at a glance that this is the trick I have left.

Soon the comments below were diverted by this post, and everyone began to question Chen Xinyu's purpose. Of course, there were also people who defended her and spoke for her. For a while, Chen Xinyu's live broadcast room was very lively.

Some people even said directly, "The husband has his own reasons, and the wife has her own reasons. Why don't you bring the live broadcast room to confront Ji Qingzhi?"

Chen Xinyu hesitated, and then reluctantly agreed as more and more people agreed. What she said was the truth. She lost her job because of Ji Qingzhi's retirement, and she failed the interview at Ji's Restaurant yesterday. These two things were true. Thinking of this, she stood up and said, "Then let's do as everyone says."

Ji Qingzhi was busy dicing beef, but she didn't know that Chen Xinyu was still making trouble. She cut very quickly, but her mind was not idle either. She was thinking whether Brother Jiang Wei and his colleagues had done enough publicity yesterday. Now the points still haven't changed. Is it because ordinary people haven't conveyed the message far enough?

What Ji Qingzhi didn't know was that Jiang Wei's colleagues preferred to post in various group chats rather than on WeChat Moments, so those pictures only appeared in the group at this time. The one they mentioned the most was the chicken feet pot. Just as she was frying the meat sauce, the mechanical voice sounded again: "Promote the chicken feet pot and get 500 points as a reward."

The hand holding the spatula paused, it turned out to be chicken feet stew. It was at this moment that Ji Qingzhi suddenly remembered that those people did not eat the braised food and meat sauce last night, so naturally she could not promote it. However, the 500 points for the chicken feet stew also surprised her. These 500 points brought her scoreboard to 41,000.

These 500 points were a complete surprise for Ji Qingzhi. Of course, it also proved that the transmission by ordinary people was also effective, but the points were much less than that of the celebrity effect. But it didn’t matter. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. All of this was contributing to Old Ji’s Qingming Pills.

At this time, the clock on the wall had reached nine fifty. The meat sauce would be turned off in five minutes, and the braised food would be turned off in ten minutes. Aunt Liu next to her was also preparing to go to the front to open the door.

Everything is moving in a good direction, which is a happy thing for Ji Qingzhi, especially since the points in his mind have been changed to 42,200 because of the braised food and meat sauce.

The smile on her lips lasted until Jiang Wei called. She pressed the answer key and then smiled and teased, "Why, do you want to order braised food?"

"Qingzhi, your former assistant suddenly went live online, saying that you suddenly retired from the entertainment industry and made her unemployed. She also failed the interview yesterday. Now she is live streaming to confront you at Ji's restaurant." Jiang Wei's tone was a little anxious. He slept very late last night, and it was Luo Kun who reminded him of the content of this call.

Ji Qingzhi was stunned for a moment. That was right. Chen Xinyu was an indestructible cockroach. How could she give up so easily? She raised the corner of her lips and said, "I know."

"It seems you have a way to deal with it." Jiang Wei also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

"Thank you for the reminder." Ji Qingzhi said sincerely.

"If you want to thank anyone, thank Luo Kun. He didn't know how to contact you, so he kept calling me. He called me five times in total." At the end, Jiang Wei's tone carried a hint of resentment.

"Okay, then I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free, and invite my sister-in-law to join us." Ji Qingzhi said with a smile in his tone.

"Okay, then you go ahead." Jiang Wei hung up the phone and said to Qiao Yutong next to him, "I'll go over and take a look. Do you want to come with me?"

Qiao Yutong nodded: "Yes, let's go together."

Luo Kun stared nervously at the closed door in front of him. He didn't know whether Brother Wei had told Ji Qingzhi. Just like that, the shutter door of Ji's Restaurant rose up little by little under his nervous mood. The people in the queue in front of him were all happy: "It's finally open."

"It'll be an hour before the store opens for sale." This sentence from the crowd was like someone throwing a piece of ice into boiling water, and the originally warm atmosphere suddenly became cold.

"One hour is just one hour. We can go into the store and wait now." Having been here once, Qiu Tian is already very experienced. She plans to make a reservation for lunch while ordering braised food and meat sauce.

Chen Xinyu on this side has been moving slowly for the sake of traffic. She is not worried about what will happen next. She wants to go to Song Panyan, but Ji Qingzhi has no evidence at all. However, it is a foregone conclusion that her unemployment was caused by her.

Because Chen Xinyu was so slow, when she arrived, it was just at 11 o'clock when the braised food and meat sauce were on sale. She squeezed through the line in front of her and got to the front row. She said directly to Aunt Liu, "Aunt, where is your boss?"

Before Aunt Chen could speak, Ji Qingzhi came out of the kitchen and raised the corner of his lips towards her: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The phone in Ji Qingzhi's hand had entered the live broadcast room an hour ago. She glanced at Chen Xinyu with an ambiguous tone.

"Sister Qingzhi, I came here to ask you why you do this?" Chen Xinyu looked weak.

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Ji Qingzhi pretended to be confused.

"Before, because you retired from the entertainment industry, there was an extra assistant vacancy in the company, which made me unemployed. Also, in yesterday's interview, I felt that I met your requirements better than that lady, but you didn't choose me. Why? You knew very well that I really needed this job." Chen Xinyu's eyes were red as she spoke. She lowered her eyes to read the comments on her phone, but she was stunned when she saw them.

At this time, all the comments in the live broadcast room were discussing the braised food and meat sauce that had just come out of the pot. Chen Xinyu's expression froze.
