Chapter 303 The Unhappy Fisherman
"Oh, sorry boss, sorry, I didn't know you were here."
Aunt Yun looked apologetic and waved her hands repeatedly: "I just wanted to pick up the waste. The waste collector is here."
Ye Xiaomei turned around quickly, buttoned up her clothes, and said word by word:
"Don't tell anyone I'm here."
Then Ye Xiaomei hurried out with the account book and calculator.
After handing the food to Zhaodi, she carefully scanned the diners in the hall, but did not see Qin Rong.
She asked Lai Di again, describing Qin Rong's appearance, and asked him if he remembered which private room he entered.
Lai Di pointed to the second floor.
"Give me the food." Ye Xiaomei's heartbeat quickened. She quickly took the pot of boiled food from Lai Di's hand and knocked on the door.
After entering, Ye Xiaomei pretended to be shocked:
"Hey, Professor Qin, Teacher Wang, Principal Wang, you are here."
Qin Rong's expression changed first.
Wang Liang was surprised but quickly recovered. He pointed his finger at Ye Xiaomei and said, "Look at this kid. She has to work part-time during breaks at school. Don't let her miss out on her studies."
"Don't worry, Teacher Wang, there will be no delay." Ye Xiaomei smiled like a waiter, handed the chopsticks over politely, and even looked carefully at the people at the table.
There is Mr. Gao, the head teacher of Class 1, and the physics teacher of Class 2, but no strangers.
But she remembered clearly the voice of the person who had just spoken outside the utility room, so he was certainly not there:
"Teachers, please eat slowly."
Qin Rong's face looked better at this time: "Why, the scholarship is not enough, and you have to work part-time?"
"It's enough. Thank you for your concern, Teacher Qin. I just want to take this opportunity to save more money. I have parents at home and my sister is in school. You can eat slowly."
"Look how sensible this child is." The more Wang Liang looked at Ye Xiaomei, the more he liked her. After all, he had won a lot of face for her.
Ye Xiaomei took the opportunity to withdraw.
I couldn't help but wipe the sweat from my forehead.
It turns out that Qin Rong is also studying human snakes. The base that the man behind the scenes mentioned seems to be a research institute.
But she didn't understand a lot of things in it. What did it mean that if the equipment was not broken, could they have gone back 20 years? Could they have caught a live human trafficker?
What does this mean?
Could it be that they traveled back in time?
Bah, bah, bah... Ye Xiaomei slapped herself in the corner. These things were written in novels, so how could they be used for research?
"Boss, you..."
Ye Xiaomei looked carefully and saw Lai Di, who was in charge of that private room, looking at her in surprise.
Ye Xiaomei finally came to her senses. She felt that she had hit him too hard and her cheeks felt sore. Now she felt:
"Lai Di, don't call me the boss all the time. Tell them to just call me Xiao Mei. By the way, I'm not the owner of this restaurant. If anyone really asks, just say it's a boss across the street."
Ye Xiaomei was extremely frightened when she thought about it carefully, and even felt a little scared when she thought of Qin Rong.
Just now, Teacher Wang said that he was working part-time here, and Qin Rong looked better. If he knew that he was the boss, it would mean that he was lying just now.
Doesn't this necessarily arouse suspicion?
"Call...you Xiaomei?"
"Just call me that." Ye Xiaomei turned sideways and left the hotel.
Zhaodi is actually a very capable person. Aunt Yun is competent, Zhaodi is calm, and they make arrangements in a very orderly manner.
After leaving the Sixi Hotel, Ye Xiaomei did not go home, but went to the Lihua River, which is located in the southeast of Chaocheng and is also the only mother river in Chaocheng.
There are abundant fish and shrimps there, and the dock is full of fishing boats catching them.
Now that autumn has arrived, the waves on the river are much bigger than before. They blow on my body and go straight into my collar, feeling cool and cold.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the river. For the first time, she felt confused.
She recalled that when she was short of money in the past, she was eager to make money. At that time, her goal was clear: she didn't want to be poor.
Now, especially recently, why does some information about the White Snake always appear, causing her to involuntarily doubt the mark on her body, and she even doubts where she came from.
Why do those people want to study human snakes? What exactly is a human snake? Of course, excluding the legend of the ancient Nüwa.
Who is Tang Buci? What is his relationship with the White Snake?
How did the white snake turn into a human?
Is the relationship between the White Snake and the Black Toad Stone really just one of mutual nurturing?
Ye Xiaomei suddenly felt overwhelmed and felt that the easiest things in the world might be studying and making money.
Hearing the voice of a lama, Ye Xiaomei looked back and found that she had been deceived, so she quickly turned around and dodged.
The van's window was lowered:
"What a coincidence?"
Ye Xiaomei suddenly came back to her senses: "Li Yao? What are you doing here?"
Li Yao sat in the passenger seat and said with a smile, "We buy river catfish from here three times a day at Sanfu Hotel. The main point is freshness."
Ye Xiaomei subconsciously noticed that the trunk lid of the van was raised, and subconsciously took a few steps forward to take a look.
A large water storage tank was also equipped with an oxygen pump, and inside it were at least a dozen river catfish that were more than one meter long.
Okay, it smells fishy. "You go ahead and do your work. I'll come over to take a look. I also want to buy some fresh fish to slice and make hot pot dishes."
Unexpectedly, Li Yao did not leave. Instead, he opened the car door and jumped out. He mysteriously pulled Ye Xiaomei to the back of the car, looked around, and touched his Mediterranean hair that was messed up by the river breeze:
"Miss Ye, since you are here to buy goods, you must have brought money with you. Can you lend me 500 yuan?"
Ye Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, and then she felt that the river breeze was the best, and it woke her up:
"What are you doing?"
"My car needs repairing. I can only drive two miles with one start before it goes out. I have to go to the store and send the fresh fish back before I can get my car repaired. Please be kind, I will ask my boss for it and return it to you."
Ye Xiaomei looked at Li Yao suspiciously. Your boss is so stingy that he doesn't even repair his own car. How could he return me 500 yuan?
"Please, Auntie. Really. If he doesn't want to go out, I'll pay you."
Seeing that Li Yao was putting his hands together like he was praying to a bodhisattva, Ye Xiaomei took out 500 yuan from her bag and gave it to him. This was the money she had just collected from the store today:
"If you don't give it back to me, you'll die."
"Of course I will." Li Yao jumped into the passenger seat and slammed the car door.
With the sound of puffing from the exhaust and a puff of smoke, the car finally started.
"Li Yao... Li Yao..."
Huh? Ye Xiaomei looked back and saw a man running towards her, brushing past her.
After chasing for a long time, the man took a few gulps of river air, and when he stood up with his hands on his knees, Ye Xiaomei called out:
"Qiu Ah Man? Why...why aren't you in the car?"
Qiu Ah Man then stood up and turned to look at Ye Xiaomei, pointing in the direction where Li Yao's old car left and said:
"He left me alone."
"Ah?" Ye Xiaomei was stunned: "I forgot about you."
"I just found out that there was something wrong with the man who caught fish for us. I wanted to find out, but Lao Li ran away." Qiu Ah Man's eyes were full of confidence.
As someone who has worked undercover, he would definitely not make a mistake in choosing someone.
Qiu Ah Man clenched his fists and repeated, "I'm not wrong."
Qiu Ah Man had a face full of flesh and looked ferocious, and with that scar, he looked even more frightening.
