The change of scenery
Afraid that Wen Zhuyao would see the contents of his phone, Mo Wen immediately turned around and turned off the screen, casually commenting, "It's already very good, very meticulous."
“Then I’m sure, I’ll take both.” Wen Zhuyao was so engrossed in admiring them that she didn’t notice his little actions. She got up and handed them to the shopkeeper.
Waiting for welding, grinding, and polishing.
“I’ll go with you.” Mo Wen secretly mimicked Bai Yuzhou’s actions as a warning.
Chi Nuo laughed so hard her stomach hurt. After a moment, she couldn't help but gossip with Ji Shu: "I'm sure there's absolutely something wrong with it. I made the right decision to create this group."
“You made the right choice by creating this group. You’ve brought the main person into it,” Ji Shu exposed without hesitation. “I don’t know who it was that cried to me all night, saying that this group shouldn’t have been created.”
Chi Nuo said meekly, "I just wanted to get my second brother to make up the numbers, but who knew that all career-oriented men have pretty much the same profile picture."
"They've all changed the nicknames in group chats, so I'm just being lazy with individual chats, I just recognize the profile picture..."
Bai Yuzhou walked by with the finished product in his hand and asked, "What kind of career-oriented man?"
"Nothing to chat about, go ahead," Ji Shu said casually, waving him away.
The two people who were waiting together saw Bai Yuzhou come over, took the finished ring, and made way for him.
"You've already finished the product?" His gaze fell on the four rings in Wen Zhuyao's palm. He pushed up his glasses and secretly examined them.
“Yes, it’s pretty fast,” Wen Zhuyao clearly noticed, he still cared about this, “It’s even better after polishing.”
Bai Yuzhou took the welded part and headed towards the grinding area: "You guys go back, I'll be there in a bit."
I wonder what he's thinking.
Wen Zhuyao and Mo Wen went back and gave the ring to them, then waited for him to return.
"What do you think?" Bai Yuzhou asked, his voice slightly heavy as he showed them the finished product in his hand, making a small gesture as he turned it around in front of each person.
"Not bad, exquisite workmanship, they must have used some tricks." Ji Shu picked it up and examined it carefully before putting it back. The style was the same one they had chosen.
What he held in his hand was exquisitely crafted in a way that defied description.
"It looks good." Wen Zhuyao agreed with the compliment, her learning ability was truly strong.
Chi Nuo silently hid her own thoughts and turned slightly to the side: "It makes people jealous. Sure enough, those who claim to have abilities are just making excuses."
After they finished speaking, the four of them looked at Mo Wen, who was not going to say anything, and he blinked.
They've clearly gotten used to being stared at suddenly.
Mo asked: "Exquisite."
Some people were at the bottom, and they ended up at the bottom.
They made their own ring boxes and bags, replaced their old rings with new ones, and the five of them, carrying their freshly made jewelry, moved on to the next location.
The two, who had been waiting in the corner for their chance, overheard someone chatting about an escape room and, unwilling to give up, followed them.
After turning the corner and confirming the direction, I realized it was the shop I had guessed and I had taken a shortcut.
"Brother Lin, are you sure this is a good idea?"
The person who spoke first was somewhat worried about Brother Lin's suggestion, fearing it might have a significant impact: "Didn't they say that if you're doing part-time work, you should be honest?"
The man called Brother Lin spat on the ground: "Pah, it's her honor that I've taken a liking to her. What's this talk about being honest or dishonest?"
"If I dare not add it, and if I don't teach them a lesson, who will recognize me in the future? How will I survive?"
"You little brat, if you don't come with me, I won't acknowledge you." Brother Lin's face was filled with the pleasure of fantasizing about revenge as he swaggered forward.
I arrived at the store early to wait.
Due to the large number of people during the holiday and the popularity of the store itself, the number of customers visiting other stores is far less than that of escape rooms.
There were two lines of people waiting in the lobby alone, and there were also many people in the shaded rest area by the roadside.
They had just passed by when Xiao Hao, who had been looking around with sharp eyes, spotted them. He stood up straight, patted Brother Lin, and said, "Brother Lin, they're here."
"You don't need to say anything, just watch me perform."
Brother Lin's eyes swept over them unabashedly, looking them up and down: "I didn't realize until I looked closely that there's more than one good-looking one."
The two people walked straight toward them, trying to form a human wall, but they weren't wide enough or tall enough.
Even Ji Shu, who had changed into flat shoes to have more fun, couldn't keep up and had to look down at them, let alone the others.
Two tall men, both over 185cm, and two clever guys, averaging 173cm in height.
The results were unsatisfactory; it was simply a blatant act of blocking the road.
We'd only met a short time ago, and there had been an unpleasant incident. Xiao Hao's face wouldn't be so easy to forget.
"We don't serve you... Go wherever you want." Brother Lin crossed his arms and held his head high to boost his own confidence.
The sound drew passersby and customers together, causing them to stop in their tracks.
Watching this farce unfold.
The stares of passersby only emboldened him; without changing his appearance, he became even more disgusting.
Their expressions and eyes were soaked in mud, the stench mixed with rotting branches, sticky and clinging to their exposed skin.
Chi Nuo stared at him, her temper flaring up instantly. She was furious and wanted to argue with him: "You've been harassing us maliciously, and we haven't even asked you to apologize yet. Are you acting like thugs just because your store is big?"
"Alright, let's go to the back." Ji Shu waited for her to catch her breath before pulling her and Wen Zhuyao behind him.
The empty seats were naturally filled by the two men.
What do you want?
"You think you can bully us just because you have more people? I said we won't entertain you, and that's final. Don't try to make excuses to slander us." Brother Lin refused to admit it and turned around to throw mud at them back.
His eyes darted around, like a stereotypical mouse: "However, if you apologize to me, we can still settle this privately, okay..."
"What's good about it?"
Ji Shu took a picture of the store, put away her phone, and looked at him casually: "DIY, we'll record the whole process. What have you thought about?"
"Shall we have a proper talk in private?"
"Talk about how you harassed us? Talk about how you showed mercy and let us go?"
"How do you use your shop to bully others?" Ji Shu's words made some people silently give up the idea of patronizing the shop.
The sounds came from near and far, rising and falling in a lively discussion.
The content is obvious without even thinking about it.
Wen Zhuyao and Chi Nuo, who were blocked at the back, joined in the sigh, "Being handsome is indeed a feeling."
Some of the people queuing in the store went up to the front desk to discuss canceling their reservations and requesting a refund.
The front desk clerk smiled outwardly, but her fingers were constantly clicking away, relaying messages: "Those two part-time troublemakers are harassing people and preventing them from entering the store; it's packed with people."
Lin was furious and tried to shove him, but the phone that appeared in front of him and the sound of the shutter stopped him.
“This shop belongs to my family, so whatever I say goes,” he said, covering his face with his hand to avoid the camera. “I’m going to sue you for violating my portrait rights.”
Amidst the frantic urging from the front desk, the store manager finally arrived after arranging for the customers inside. Seeing everyone watching the commotion inside and outside the store, the manager, who was in his thirties, asked, "What's going on?"
The shop assistant gestured with his eyes to the two people outside.
His gaze swept across the room, and he saw these two unreliable individuals causing this commotion. He knew that refunds and quiet avoidance were inevitable, but this was just ruining someone's reputation, and his anger flared instantly.
"I'm suing you! I'm suing you!" The store manager walked to the side and kicked the man.
The short dominoes fell together on the open ground.
Lin pushed the person off him, struggled to get up from the ground, and said with dissatisfaction, "My dad told me to rely on you, so what's yours is mine. Why can't I get involved?"
Seeing that the troublemakers were stubborn and wouldn't listen, the store manager simply ignored them. The important thing was the customer: "I'm really sorry, it was a failure of our part-time staff to screen customers."
"I don't know what happened between you. If needed, we have CCTV footage in the store that we can provide free of charge."
"If a customer has a bad experience here, we will give you a free tour, and there are no restrictions on the script. You can book anytime."
"I'm really sorry, I don't know if you can accept this way of handling the tour?" The store manager said it nicely and got rid of the person.
If someone offers help for free, and it affects your mood or makes you uninterested, then come back next time.
"She violated my portrait rights..." Brother Lin was not giving up and tried to find a point to refute, but no one is innocent.
"Taking a selfie to admire my lipstick shade counts?" Ji Shu turned her phone, which was held at her chin, to reveal a selfie screen.
The photo in the bottom left corner is a perfect angle of my lips; I put it away after showing it.
Lin was about to say something more, but a fierce glare from the store manager silenced him. Remembering their initial agreement, he decided to stay quietly, for as long as he wanted.
Making a scene and causing trouble will damage the store's image and business. Go back to where you came from.
With Ji Shu's permission, Bai Yuzhou stepped forward and said, "We accept this mediation. We originally came here because we heard about it and wanted to experience it, but we really aren't in the mood today."
“I understand how you feel. Let’s reschedule. If you like it after trying it, we’ll give you a 50% discount next time you come.”
The store manager ushered Bai Yuzhou inside, speaking kindly: "If you have any questions during the experience, you can also give us feedback..."
Seeing this ending, those who wanted a refund sat back down. It's still worth a try.
What happens to Brother Lin and his underlings is no longer their concern; given their current situation and influence, their fate is unlikely to be good.
Bai Yuzhou chose a time slot two days later, categorized as horror, but did not select a specific script.
After we left, it suddenly became lively.
"It's infuriating, it's like a ghost that won't leave you alone. What are we going to do if it gives our Xiaozhu a bad feeling?" Chi Nuo said, holding Wen Zhuyao's hand this time. "But big sister is so cool."
"So cute, so cute, so cute! The big sister with two bodyguards, what a sight to behold!"
"Agreed +1." Wen Zhuyao played along with the infatuation; the scene was really cool.
Mo Wen watched her expression with concern from behind, and seeing that it was the same as Chi Nuo's, his expression relaxed.
"Alright, that's enough for now. Go back and get some rest, don't let it ruin your mood." Ji Shu's car was parked in front.
After arranging the schedule and discussing it with Bai Yuzhou when he returned, we realized that a spoilsport event had disrupted our plans. Considering that we were all rushing around today, we decided to go back and rest.
I've rested well, let's make plans again tomorrow.
"We know, get some rest." Wen Zhuyao stood in a row with Mo Wen, watching them get into the car.
To put their minds at ease, Mo Wen suggested, "I'll take Xiao Zhu back; don't worry."
"I believe in you, keep it up!" Chi Nuo sat in the back seat, gave him a thumbs up, and said something that was no longer meaningful, as she had already become tired of saying it.
Ji Shu nodded, and Bai Yuzhou closed the door, cutting off their view.
He sat in the passenger seat and said, "Let's go."
As the car drove away and disappeared from sight, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Wen Zhuyao lowered her head, looking at her shoes, the pebbles on the asphalt road, and the fallen leaves.
She just wouldn't look up, she just wouldn't look at him.
