"No need, go and rest."
Putting down the liquid foundation in her hand, Gu Huaiwei looked at the time on her mobile phone.
It was only two or three hours until dawn, and she was ready to lean against the bed and take a nap.
Gu Huaiwei is a locked box with too many secrets in her heart, and she has no way to open it and share her thoughts with Lin She.
Feeling the determination in Gu Huaiwei's tone, Lin She lowered his eyes, his long, thick black eyelashes trembled slightly, leaving a shadow in the bottom of his eyes.
He didn’t force it, but simply explained: “They need you to run the hotel.
You are important to them, but you are not irreplaceable.
You need to show your loyalty and they won’t give you a hard time for little mistakes.”
"Do you know them?"
Lin She exuded an extremely cold aura, his dark green eyes flickering with a hint of emotion. As if to reassure Gu Huaiwei, he mentioned his past, something he rarely did: "This isn't my first job."
"When was your first job?" Gu Huaiwei almost blurted out and asked him if he had ever seen a girl who looked like her before.
But she stopped herself and suppressed her emotional impulse with rational analysis.
It is impossible for Lin She to have met her sister, otherwise he should have shown it when he first came to apply for a job, instead of not knowing Gu Huaiwei at all.
"Many years ago." Lin She only said a vague number.
The time doesn't match.
Lin She said that she was important, but she was not irreplaceable. Does this mean that although her sister was chosen by the Plane Store, she was not the only one chosen?
"Don't worry, I will show them my loyalty and ability to run a shop."
In the past few days, Gu Huaiwei has already thought of an excuse in her mind.
She also kept the gold coins that Xiao Youqi had given her before in her Paradise Card and had not withdrawn a single cent, all for the purpose of tomorrow's public trial.
The next day, Gu Huaiwei dressed neatly and came to the wooden door that was engraved with traces of time. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the Children's Dream Paradise theme room.
Walking into the old room, the surrounding scene suddenly became distorted.
The graffiti-covered walls, the moldy floors, the yellowed crib...all were sucked into the black spiral.
Everything in front of her eyes was spinning rapidly. Gu Huaiwei felt dizzy and then fell into the virtual space.
When she regained consciousness, Gu Huaiwei was standing in the center of a magnificent virtual courtroom, with cold basalt beneath her feet.
She looked around and found that she was surrounded by suspended darkness and endless abyss.
Except for the real stone under her feet, everything else seemed to be a projection of nothingness.
Here, there is no way in, no way out, and no escape.
Gu Huaiwei's gaze slowly moved upwards.
The judgment seat is like a towering tower, looking down from above.
As the appointed time arrived, six blurry images appeared on the virtual display screen.
These so-called shareholders cannot appear in this room with their human bodies; they can only participate in the trial through virtual images.
In this virtual court, Gu Huaiwei is the only flesh and blood person.
Gu Huaiwei stood in the center of the courtroom, feeling the invisible pressure from six virtual projections.
She quietly touched the knife in her sleeve, tightened her fingers slightly, and let her heart slowly calm down.
There were six huge display screens, each numbered from one to six, with different images on the screens:
Screen number one is a Ferris wheel.
Screen number two is the dolphin.
Screen number three shows blue water ripples.
Number four is a wheelchair with a long-tailed bird parked next to it.
On screen number five is the mangrove forest.
Screen number six is just a blank mirror.
These virtual projections represent the six shareholders.
"The salesperson chosen this time looks so ordinary."
On display screen number three, the innocent and childish voice of a little boy was heard from the shadow formed by water ripples.
He changed the subject, with a hint of pride: "However, you are quite discerning. You knew to apply for the theme park card I designed."
On screen number two, dolphins leaped joyfully, followed by a captivating female voice, like a siren's song: "Your theme park card, with all those warnings popping up before you could apply, no one would even consider getting one."
"Humph, I was doing that to protect the park's interests and business."
"The Paradise Card I designed can settle transactions across multiple dimensions. It's supposed to be an extremely efficient bank card. It's just these humans who are stupid and ignorant, and like to play tricks behind my back."
Gu Huaiwei listened quietly below.
It turns out that the theme park card was obtained by the little boy number three.
In projection number four, the long-tailed bird was pecking its own feathers intently.
A weak voice of a sickly young man could be heard from behind the screen: "Ahem... time's up, let's start the trial... ahem..."
The remaining three display screens made no sound, indicating that the public trial had begun.
The young man's voice echoed through the ripples of the water: "Old Four, the Oasis Hotel is under your jurisdiction. I'll leave the trial to you."
Gu Huaiwei looked up and glanced at screen number four.
The person behind the screen is the boss Zhou Paopi.
"Cough cough cough... Sure, the final decision will be made by voting anyway." A coughing sound was heard from screen number four. The coughing became more and more severe, as if the heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys were going to be coughed out.
Because the original owner was coughing so hard that he could hardly speak, the long-tailed bird on the screen spoke for him: "Gu Changge, do you have any explanation for your private transactions?"
Gu Huaiwei lowered her eyelids.
These shareholders did not know that she was replacing her sister at work.
If you don’t know, that’s easy.
Gu Huaiwei's dark eyes rolled. She stood in the center of the courtroom, straightened her back, placed her hands on her heart, raised her head, and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice:
“Dear shareholders, thank you for giving me the opportunity to defend myself.
I did conduct some private transactions before, but that was because I was unfamiliar with the business and didn't know it was prohibited.
Ignorance is not a crime. My original intention was to introduce resources from other worlds and attract more customers. Ultimately, it was to make money and for the benefit of all shareholders."
The Ferris Wheel on screen number one sneered.
Mangrove No. 5 yawned, and then a steady snoring sound came.
Number Six didn't respond at all.
"Quibbling!" The water rippled violently, and Zhengtai interrupted mercilessly, "Your mind is not on business at all!
You falsified accounts, embezzled public funds, only performed basic upgrades in the first few planes without unlocking any functional areas, and hired fake customers to swipe orders.
In this way, you still dare to say that it is for our benefit?"
When Gu Huaiwei heard the accusation from Shota No. 3, her expression froze slightly.
Only basic upgrades are done on the first few planes?
So, my sister has traveled through multiple worlds and run multiple stores.
Falsifying accounts, embezzling public funds, and cheating on orders...
My sister, how many violations have you done before?
