Chapter 064 The Sixty-Fourth Melon
"Sir, I understand that you and your wife are very anxious right now, but the amusement park cannot be closed casually, which can easily cause panic. So, Miss Liu, you..."
Lin Qianshi saw Liu Suxiang and several other staff members being pushed around by the couple, and they were all at a loss, so he stepped forward to try to help.
The husband glared at him and slapped his hand away: "What does it have to do with you, kid? My son is missing now, who can take the responsibility? My family has only one son for three generations, and this is my only precious son!"
His wife also put her hands on her hips, pointed at Liu Suxiang and the others and cursed: "It's all your fault. If you had sent some people to look after the child, how could my son get lost? If you didn't seal off the amusement park, maybe your amusement park was in collusion with the human traffickers!"
What? !
Liu Suxiang and others finally realized what it meant to be unreasonable.
Liu Suxiang suppressed her grievance and hurried forward to say, "I know you are very anxious. How about this, we immediately arrange for people to search everywhere in the amusement park, okay? If we find Qiangqiang, we will tell you immediately."
Seeing that Liu Suxiang was so easy to talk to, the husband became even more arrogant, "Even though we found the child, we can't just let this matter go. I'm going to sue you for mismanagement and dereliction of duty!"
Liu Suxiang and several of her employees looked unhappy.
Others complained: "What does this have to do with us? We have advertised several times at the entrance that children should be watched carefully. We also asked you to sign a consent form when you entered the kindergarten. You..."
As soon as other people started talking, Liu Suxiang felt something was wrong.
She had met such unreasonable people before, and she knew very well that she must never argue with them, because if she did, the matter would never end.
really.
The couple immediately exploded, pointing at Liu Suxiang and the others and cursing, saying that they were in cahoots with each other and that they would file a complaint against them and have the amusement park closed down.
Gu Xicao couldn't stand it any longer. She walked forward, slapped the table, picked up the microphone, and said, "Shut up!"
With a buzzing sound.
The sound of the microphone echoed throughout the office.
Everyone covered their ears subconsciously.
Zhang Hanlin shuddered at first, but when he saw that the person who spoke was a young girl, he immediately took it lightly and pointed at Gu Xicao angrily: "Who are you? What do you want here?"
"I'm just doing what's right. I can't stand seeing wicked parents like you bullying others."
Gu Xicao spoke bluntly, looking at Zhang Hanlin and his wife with disdain, "Do you still remember that your son is lost? If you were really worried, you would argue with the staff here. Aren't they trying to find a way to help you find your son?"
Her words are quite pertinent.
Many people watching outside nodded.
"What this girl said makes sense. Others are helping, but they are arguing over there. I don't know if they are in a hurry or not."
"I think those staff members are quite responsible. Why are they scolding people like that? This amusement park belongs to the Lin Group. How could such a big company kidnap and sell their sons? They are really overthinking."
Zhang Hanlin and his wife's faces turned pale and blue, and they felt a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Gu Xicao angrily: "You are talking nonsense, it's not your son who is lost, of course you are not anxious, my son is really lost, I will never forgive you guys!"
Gu Xicao looked at Zhang Hanlin and his wife coldly, "What if they weren't lost?"
"Not lost? If not lost, then we will apologize to them!" Mrs. Zhang said, pointing at Liu Suxiang and others.
Liu Suxiang looked at Gu Xicao with gratitude and helplessness, "Miss, thank you for speaking for us, but..."
"Hey, aren't you the Master Gu who was mentioned in the newspaper?" Suddenly, colleague Liu Suxiang recognized Gu Xicao and stamped her feet in surprise, saying, "Yes, yes, I remember you. You look like this."
Fortune telling?
Liu Suxiang was a little confused.
Zhang Hanlin and his wife sneered, "What kind of fortune teller are you? Don't show off here. If you can help us predict the birth of a son, we will respect you."
"I tell fortunes for people, but I don't do it for free. I collect money first and then do the work. 188 per time."
Gu Xicao extended his hand to Zhang Hanlin and his wife, speaking in a righteous tone.
Zhang Hanlin stared at her, took out some money from his pocket and threw it into her hand, "Okay, but if you can't calculate it correctly and can't find my son, I will take down your sign in the newspaper tomorrow!"
"Wow, what are you looking at here?" Sun Zhaogan and his girlfriend Sun Jiaying had a rare chance to come over and play, and they saw a group of people surrounding the lost child at the entrance.
The couple were both very curious, so they immediately pushed their way through the crowd and squeezed in. When they got to the front, they saw Gu Xicao, Lin Qianshi and others walking out.
Sun Jiaying had sharp eyes and recognized Gu Xicao at once. She asked in surprise, "Hey, isn't this Miss Gu?"
"Yeah, why is she here?" Sun Zhaogan asked gossipingly, "The guy next to her looks pretty handsome, could he be her boyfriend?"
Gu Xicao saw Sun Jiaying and the other person, nodded to them as a greeting, and then said to Liu Suxiang: "You two should come over too, so that you can have an explanation when you see them later."
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Liu Suxiang put down everything on her hands without any hesitation and followed Gu Xicao and others out.
Gu Xicao led the group and walked directly out of the amusement park.
Zhang Hanlin sneered: "We've already walked out of the amusement park, how can we find my son?"
"You all suspected that your son was abducted, but why didn't you think that he might have walked out on his own?"
Gu Xicao asked back.
Mrs. Zhang immediately retorted excitedly, "Impossible, my son is very well behaved, he listens to everything we say, we told him to wait in the restaurant bar, he would not come out on his own."
"Then let's wait and see."
Gu Xicao said.
When Liu Suxiang saw Gu Xicao walking towards the west of the amusement park, she suddenly had an idea in her mind. There was a video game store on the west side, and many gangsters and children would play video games there. Could it be?
On Saturdays and Sundays, video game stores are packed with people, both adults and children.
Although Hong Kong has regulations that prohibit youngsters from playing video games in stores, it is well known that rules are meant to be violated. Moreover, the boss is smart and is playing guerrilla warfare with the police, so this video game store is a place where many children come to play games.
"Oh, beat, beat, beat you to death!"
A little fat boy in green clothes and black pants was standing in front of the game console, pressing the buttons on it constantly.
The game character on the video game console was beaten back by the opponent, and finally the sound of KO was heard.
"Qiangzi, you lost again. Why are you so mean?" The opponent smiled and looked at Zhang Qiang mockingly.
Zhang Qiang's face flushed red as he took out the game coins from his pocket. "Meah, my parents were very strict with me a while ago and didn't let me play, so I lost. Let's try again. I don't believe I can't beat you today!"
"Qiangzi," his friend, who was driving a car nearby, turned around and looked at him when he heard this, "You've been in the video game store for a while, why don't you go back quickly? Don't let your parents find out, or you'll be dead!"
Zhang Qiang sneered and patted his chest nonchalantly, "What the hell? I have the final say at home. Even if they find out, can they still beat me to death?"
Before he could finish his words, he saw his friend's expression become very strange. He kept winking and winking at him, as if hinting at something.
Zhang Qiang's heart skipped a beat and he felt a chill on his back.
He often felt this feeling. Every time his parents stood behind him, he had this feeling.
Zhang Qiang turned his head slowly with a stiff neck.
"You bastard, your dad is looking for you so hard and you're hiding here playing video games?!"
Mrs. Zhang was so embarrassed and angry that she pinched Zhang Qiang's ears and lifted him up.
"Oh, Mom, it hurts!"
Zhang Qiang struggled rapidly.
"It's right that it hurts. Look at what you did. The two of us were looking for you all over the amusement park. We even asked people to make an announcement and almost called the police, and you actually hid here. You came out without even telling me!" Mrs. Zhang became more and more angry as she thought about it, and she hit Zhang Qiang on the butt a few times with her chopsticks.
Zhang Qiang screamed in pain and broke free from Mrs. Zhang's hand. "Okay, now when you blame me, have you ever reflected on yourselves? You can go ride the roller coaster, so why can't I play games?!"
He spoke with full of energy and was confident that he was right.
Liu Suxiang looked at Zhang Hanlin and his wife, "Mr. and Mrs., now that you have found your son, can you rest assured?"
Zhang Hanlin and his wife looked so embarrassed that they really wished there was a crack in the ground they could crawl into.
Zhang Hanlin was so angry that he pulled his son and spanked him several times, throwing away his slippers. "I told you to run away without saying anything. I told you to play games. I'm going to beat you until your face is covered with peach blossoms today!"
"Ah, don't hit me, don't hit me. I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."
Zhang Qiang covered his buttocks and begged for mercy.
After being beaten several times, he finally behaved himself.
Lin Qianshi frowned. In his heart, he didn't agree with the couple taking their anger out on the child, but since he had no relationship with them, he just said, "Mr. Zhang, since we have found the child, please go home and educate him however you want. Now, do you owe the staff an apology?"
Zhang Hanlin and his wife looked very embarrassed. They looked at each other and Zhang Hanlin said, "What are you apologizing for? You didn't keep an eye on my son and let him sneak out to play games. You still have the nerve to ask us to apologize. We've already been very good by not asking you to pay compensation."
"Get out of the way, we need to take our son home."
Zhang Hanlin pushed Liu Suxiang away directly. Liu Suxiang staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Gu Xicao supported her and prevented her from falling.
"Thank you, Miss Gu." Liu Suxiang said gratefully with a slightly red face.
Gu Xicao said, "You're welcome."
She looked at Zhang Hanlin and his wife, "You're not going to apologize, are you?"
"I've already said it, why should we apologize? We are consumers. Haven't you heard what Westerners say, that the customer is God? No wonder Chinese are not as good as foreigners. Our service level is simply poor!" Zhang Hanlin was still stubborn and had no intention of changing his words.
Gu Xicao said, "Then don't blame me for not giving you face. You two stole a lot of things from the amusement park, right?"
She pretended to pinch her fingers and said, "Let me see, there is toilet paper, toilet cleaner, and paper and pens for the staff. You have taken everything."
"What are you talking about? Are you stealing? Hong Kong is a society ruled by law. You have to provide evidence when you speak!" Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale and she said angrily to Gu Xicao.
Gu Xicao raised her eyebrows, went over to pick up Zhang Qiang's schoolbag, unzipped it and dumped it on the ground.
All of a sudden, everything in the bag fell out.
There were three rolls of toilet paper, two bottles of toilet cleaner, and in addition to paper and pens, there were also quite a few straws and knives and forks.
"Ah, aren't those straws and knives and forks the things in the dining bar?!"
Liu Suxiang recognized it at a glance. Everything in the amusement park had the group's pattern and was very easy to recognize.
She squatted down and picked up the pen: "And this pen, this pen also belongs to the restaurant bar, how come it is here?"
"Is there any need to ask? The couple ate at the restaurant and bar, and then stole everything in the bar, even a ballpoint pen like this. You are considered thrifty."
Gu Xicao said sarcastically.
"You, you..." Zhang Hanlin was furious and pointed at Gu Xicao in anger: "The food in the restaurant is so expensive, what's wrong with us bringing some back? Do we have to say it's stealing?"
"Sir, Madam, these are the property of our amusement park. Although they are not valuable, we cannot allow others to take them away casually. We can sue you for such behavior."
Lin Qianshi's expression was serious and gloomy, and he said to Zhang Hanlin and his wife.
When they heard the word "sue", the couple finally felt a little scared.
Mrs. Zhang muttered, "At worst, I can just give it back to you, okay?"
"No, you must apologize before you can leave." Gu Xicao insisted.
Zhang Hanlin and his wife turned pale, and faced the pointing and disgusted expressions of the onlookers around them, so they had to give in, "I'm sorry, okay?!"
The strange couple left in shame with their son.
Liu Suxiang thanked Gu Xicao again and again and gave her a free ticket.
Gu Xicao took the ticket and looked at Lin Qianshi: "Mr. Lin, today I helped your amusement park solve a big problem. What do you have to say?"
"What do you want to say?"
Lin Qianshi asked with a smile.
Gu Xicao thought for a moment and said, "Let's treat you to a big meal. It has to be delicious."
"Shirley, look at this photo!"
Li Yali hurried over to find Wang Xueli.
Wang Xueli was sunbathing by the swimming pool. When she heard her voice, she pushed up her sunglasses and said impatiently, "What's wrong again?"
"You'll know when you see it."
Li Yali took out a photo from her bag and handed it to Wang Xueli.
Wang Xueli took it and saw the photo. Lin Qianshi and Gu Xicao were eating face to face in a restaurant. Her eyes darkened and she clutched the photo tightly. "Where did you get the photo?"
"My friend saw the video while eating in a restaurant and wanted to ask me if that woman was Mr. Lin's fiancée." Li Yali fanned the flames and said, "Shirley, Mr. Lin has never been so close to a woman and even invited her to dinner. I don't think they are really having an affair, right?"
"How is that possible? That woman is just a mainland girl, a fortune teller, not presentable at all. How could Brother Qianshi be interested in such a woman?"
Wang Xueli looked at the photo and retorted with gritted teeth: "And the Lin family will not agree."
Li Yali said: "That's not certain. You know that Grandpa Lin really wants Young Master Lin to get married quickly. Maybe this mainland girl will really marry him into a wealthy family."
After she said this, she saw that Wang Xueli's face was getting worse and worse, and the corners of her lips curled up.
"Miss, the old lady called you."
The maid came over to inform.
Wang Xueli hurriedly sat up and followed. Li Yali sat by the swimming pool and waited for a while. She was just thinking about how to collude with Wang Xueli to drive Gu Xicao out of Hong Kong when she saw Wang Xueli coming back in a hurry, "I have to go back to the United States."
"What? What happened?" Li Yali was shocked: "How long will you be gone?"
"It's hard to say. Anyway, go home. I have something to do here."
Wang Xueli hurriedly said this and left without any intention of greeting Li Yali.
Li Yali was very angry and slapped the pillow hard.
That little bitch Gu Xicao escaped.
"Cousin, why are you dragging your feet like this? You've seen me do such embarrassing things before. You're not that shy, are you?"
On Tuesday, Gu Xicao had just seen off a few guests and went out for a walk to stretch her body when she saw Ma Qi dragging Ma Dali in.
The difference in size between the two brother and sister is huge. Ma Dali is tall and strong, just like a big bear, while Ma Qi is like a red-crowned crane, pale and thin. If Ma Qi wanted to pull Ma Dali alone, it would be as difficult as a donkey pulling a train.
"What's going on?" Gu Xicao came over and asked with a smile.
Ma Qi had no strength left to pull, so he let go and shook his wrist, "Master, we came to you to tell our fortunes."
"I don't want to tell my fortune." Ma Dali said in a muffled voice.
Ma Qi put his hands on his hips and glared at him, "You are a coward, let the master calculate for you, what will happen?"
"I don't need it." Ma Dali was still very persistent.
Wang Laoshi came over and advised, "Miss Ma, if the other person doesn't want to, don't force them. We don't force people to tell fortunes in our store."
Ma Qi glared and said, "How can that be possible? You don't know, my cousin met a female netizen on the BBS online and started dating her. He even said I was stupid before, but he has already transferred nearly 100,000 yuan to her."
One hundred thousand?!
Wang Laoshi was shocked. "My dear little brother, you are so confused. You spend 100,000 yuan to find a dating agency to introduce you to a beauty. I'm afraid they will introduce all the Hong Kong beauties to you."
"What kind of matchmaking agency is this? It's too old-fashioned."
Ma Dali said with disdain, "Young people of our generation don't do these things."
"What are you talking about, young man? You look quite old, probably thirty or so," Wang Laoshi said jokingly.
Ma Qi laughed and said, "Meah, he is only 23 years old now."
“Ahem?!” Wang Laoshi looked at the burly Ma Dali in disbelief. “You, you are only 23 years old? How is that possible? You look no different from 33!”
Ma Dali's face darkened, but his face was originally dark, and he was tall, strong, and square-faced. At first glance, no one would have thought that he was only 23 years old. "What you said is too hurtful. I'm still studying, how can I be 33?"
Still studying?
Even Gu Xicao found it hard to believe. She looked Ma Dali up and down and asked, "You gave your online crush 100,000 yuan? Why?"
"Is there something wrong with her family? The house was burned down. She is very pitiful. Besides, she didn't ask for my money for nothing. She is selling tea leaves now and sent me a lot of tea leaves."
When Ma Dali talked about his girlfriend, a hint of tenderness appeared on his dark and red face like Li Kui.
Gu Xicao could tell that there was something fishy about this matter without asking the gossip system.
"Tea? One hundred thousand dollars' worth of tea?"
Ma Qi immediately ran to Gu Xicao's side as if he had found someone to rely on, "Master, you think this is outrageous, right? To be honest, our family is considered wealthy. We have eaten all kinds of expensive food and drank all kinds of good tea. The most it costs is a few hundred yuan per pound. My cousin is really being taken advantage of. He spent 100,000 yuan on tea. If this gets out, people will laugh at him to death!"
"Aqi, don't talk nonsense. It's not easy for Xiaobai, a girl, to support a family."
Ma Dali glared at Ma Qi disapprovingly.
Ma Qi was so angry that he almost died.
Now she finally understood how upset her mother must have felt when she had been trying to stop her from dating Dai Yong but she had not listened and had been spending a lot of money on Dai Yong.
It really is what happens in life!
"Don't quarrel, talk it out. Why don't you go to my office and sit down and have a cup of tea?"
Gu Xicao took the initiative to smooth things over.
On the one hand, he wanted to make money, and on the other hand, he didn't want to see Ma Dali being cheated.
Ma Dali showed more respect to Gu Xicao than to Ma Qi. He nodded and said, "I just happened to bring some tea that Xiaobai sent. Let's try it together. If you think it's good, please help Xiaobai more."
He took out a bag of loose tea from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xicao.
Gu Xicao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and gave it to Wang Laoshi.
The tea is pretty good, but in Gu Xicao's opinion, this kind of tea is at most ten yuan per pound.
Tea is not expensive nowadays, a few hundred yuan per pound at most.
Spending 100,000 yuan on tea leaves is outrageous. It's absolutely outrageous.
"What's up, Master?"
Ma Dali looked at Gu Xicao expectantly.
Gu Xicao was very frank: "This tea is okay, but it's only average. Don't you think it's inappropriate to sell it to you for 100,000 yuan?"
"You don't understand. Xiaobai didn't intend to accept the money. She also told me that the tea leaves were only worth a few hundred yuan. It was me who insisted that she accept it."
Ma Dali obviously knew what everyone would ask. He showed tenderness in his eyes, "Xiao Bai is really pitiful. Her house was burned down and she still had to pay back the landlord. Her father was a gambler and owed tens of thousands of dollars to loan sharks. I only gave her the 100,000 yuan after I found out about these things by chance."
Ma Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
She didn't know how many chickens, ducks and geese she had heard these words from.
She began to wonder if those chickens, ducks and geese had received group training before going to work, otherwise why would they say exactly the same thing?
"You knew by chance? You two weren't in an online relationship, so how did you know by chance?"
Wang Laoshi is indeed an experienced person and he got the key point right away.
Ma Dali laughed and said, "It's just a coincidence. One of my college roommates happened to know Xiao Bai. He even showed me a photo of Xiao Bai. You guys can take a look too."
Ma Dali took out his wallet and took out a small two-inch photo from the interlayer to show everyone.
The little girl in the photo is young and pretty, with long black hair braided into a braid and her eyebrows and eyes are particularly bright. It can be seen that she is indeed a little beauty.
When Ma Qi saw this photo, he felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Gu Xicao's eyes were deep and a complicated smile appeared on her face.
