Chapter 57: Stealing a large amount of money will result in jail time
"Sister..." Shen Xing said coquettishly with a smug look on her face, "You haven't been home for a year, why do you want to interrogate me as soon as you come back?"
Shen Ci glanced at him and snorted, "If you don't make your mother worry, I won't let you have an easy time either. I originally brought you a lot of gifts, but now I have decided to give them to Guangrong."
Guangrong is her cousin, the child of her aunt.
Shen Xing glared at him when she heard this: "Come on, sister! My second sister said you bought her a lot of things. What did you buy for me? Let me see!"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow after we finish talking."
After Shen Ci said this lightly, he ignored Shen Xing's cute entanglement and left him back to the room.
Lying in her own little bed, the smell and feeling made Shen Ci feel at ease. She had a dreamless night. This was the most peaceful and sound sleep she had had in these days.
The next day, it was sunny.
As soon as Shen Ci opened her eyes drowsily, she heard a gentle knock on the door: "Ah Ci, Mom has gone to work. I put breakfast in the microwave for you. Remember to eat it when you get up later."
"I know, Mom." Shen Ci responded.
Hearing her daughter wake up, Shen Jingjing opened the door directly, looked at her daughter and said gently: "What do you want to eat tonight? Mom will go to the market and buy it for you after work."
Chen Ci smiled, her heart as warm as the morning sun, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Bak Kut Teh."
"I knew it." Shen Jingjing looked like she had guessed it, and glanced down at the time: "Mom has to go. If you don't want to get up, just sleep a little longer. Remember to eat breakfast."
After her mother left, Shen Ci also got up from the bed. Just as she was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, she heard a crisp "ding" sound.
Having read many rebirth novels, she subconsciously froze in place, thinking, "Is the "system" here?"
But after waiting for a long time and hearing no other sound, she finally reacted and blinked.
Oh, the breakfast in the microwave is ready.
After washing up, I was eating delicious boiled chicken and dumplings when my mother suddenly sent me a voice message on WeChat.
Chen Ci directly transcribed it into a text message: "Ah Ci, Mom left her work badge at home. It should be on the cabinet in the entrance hall. Remember to bring it to Mom after you finish breakfast."
Shen Ci quickly replied and asked "Is it urgent?"
"No rush, just deliver it before noon."
Around ten o'clock, Shen Ci found her mother's work badge and took a taxi to the Ruili International Hotel in Xiang'an District.
My mother works as a waitress in the housekeeping department. She has worked in this five-star international hotel for more than ten years and is now the team leader of the housekeeping department group.
The daily work is to clean the guest rooms and deal with the needs of the guests in a timely manner.
It's not easy, but fortunately the working environment is decent and there's no need to be exposed to the wind and sun, so Shen Jingjing is very satisfied with her current job.
The only drawback is that she has a low level of education, only a junior high school education, so she cannot reach a mid- to senior-level position like a manager. Team leader is already the highest position she can be promoted to.
At the hotel front desk, Shen Ci politely stepped forward and asked, "Hello, I'm looking for Shen Jingjing from the first group of the housekeeping department. She forgot to bring her work ID card."
"Are you Sister Jingjing's daughter?"
Seeing that Shen Ci looked beautiful, the front desk staff couldn't help but ask one more question subconsciously.
Shen Ci smiled and nodded.
"Sister Jingjing should be on a team responsible for cleaning the guest rooms on the floor at this time. Use my card to take the elevator to the 26th and 27th floors to look for her. If she's not there, go to the housekeeping department on the fifth floor and ask."
The waiter handed over an internal elevator card and reminded, "The doors of the rooms to be cleaned are all open. Please be careful not to knock on the door and disturb the guests inside. Remember to return the elevator card to me after you come down."
Shen Ci took the elevator card and nodded in thanks.
She first sent a message to her mother asking which floor she was on, but her mother did not reply, so Shen Ci could only follow the instructions of the front desk staff to find her.
She first went up to the 26th floor and walked quickly in the corridor looking for her mother. When she saw a service staff in a room with the door open, she would confirm whether it was her mother. The hotel was very large, and there were almost dozens of guest rooms on one floor.
In Suite 2788, there was a sound of argument at this moment.
"That's strange, isn't it? It's not some small thing. How could a brooch the size of a cup bottom fly out of the room?"
"Then do you think it's possible that one of you put it away? Or perhaps you just forgot where you put it?"
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm the one crying thief? Don't you see who's living in this room? Do we really need to embarrass a waiter?"
"Sir, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask if there's a possibility. Our original intention is the same as yours. We all want to help you find your lost things, right?"
In the middle of the living room, the housekeeping manager in a suit seemed to be dealing with a crisis. Opposite him, a thin man had an angry look on his face, and was obviously angry.
Standing next to the housekeeping manager was Shen Jingjing, the service staff who had received a guest's request to clean the room early in the morning.
Just half an hour ago, the guest of this suite called to say that he had lost a valuable item and asked the housekeeping staff to come and deal with it, which led to the current scene.
The thin man raised his finger and pointed at Shen Jingjing, questioning loudly: "From the time we checked in until we just discovered that the things were missing, you were the only staff member who entered this room. Do you dare to say that you didn't see the diamond brooch on the table?"
Shen Jingjing looked at the other person. Even though the other person's attitude was aggressive, she did not show any cowardice or fear. She said politely but firmly, "I'm sorry, sir, I really didn't see any brooch."
She has worked in this hotel for more than ten years and this is not the first time she has faced such a thing, so she is not panicked.
Seeing her attitude, the thin man immediately flew into a rage: "You don't admit it, right? If you don't admit it, I'll call the police. Stealing a large amount of property will result in jail time. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
"Sir, you can't conclude that I stole it without evidence. Since you lost your valuables in our hotel, we support you in calling the police, and we are willing to fully cooperate with the police." Shen Jingjing said calmly.
The thin man held a cell phone in his hand, intending to scare the waitress in front of him and ask her to hand over the things quickly, but he didn't expect that the waitress didn't buy it at all.
At this moment, the man who had been sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face finally stood up and said to the thin man, "We can't call the police now, otherwise we'll have to go to the police station to give a statement. The event starts at 12 o'clock, so we don't have any extra time."
The thin man said with a worried look on his face, "Jun Huan, what do you say we should do? The brooch was loaned to us by the brand. It cost over 500 yuan. If we lose it, we have to pay for it!"
