Chapter 137 Jinjiang Debut
Bai Mian asked: "What does this mean?"
Xiao Chen explained tiredly, "Lie San has already poured out everything he can, but he knows very little about this big client. This person has a strong sense of confidentiality and never shows up. But there is good news. He and this big client have agreed to trade tonight. According to Lie San's original plan, after he got the child from Magu, he would sell it to the big client the next day. Now that we have arrested him, the transaction must go on as usual. This is our only chance to catch the big client."
Bai Mian immediately said, "Please tell Director Hu that I want to participate in tonight's transaction."
Xiao Chen nodded. He felt that the director would most likely agree. After all, there was no better candidate than Bai Mian at the moment. After yesterday's action, no one in the bureau raised any objections to Bai Mian anymore. Everyone seemed to have tacitly agreed that Bai Mian was their foreign aid.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Chen, Bai Mian walked out of the police station and returned to Ci Xin Tang. Brother Que had already arrived. In addition to Brother Que and his master and his wife, there were two young and energetic girls standing in the store. Bai Mian was a little surprised and asked hurriedly, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Gao Jin smiled kindly: "After you left this morning, the old man and I just got up and saw these two girls standing at the door. They seemed to have something urgent to do, so I let them in."
One of the girls with short grass green hair rushed towards Bai Mian excitedly and shouted, "Master Bai, my name is Xia Mang, this is my sister, we are your fans!"
The girl with a high ponytail next to her was obviously more stable than the first girl. She nodded to Bai Mian as a greeting and then gave her name: "Lu Xue."
"Oh, you're a fan, right?" Bai Mian said casually, "Do you want a photo or an autograph? If you want to have your pulse checked or your fortune told, you need to queue up."
Xia Mang shook his head and pulled Lu Xue to Bai Mian. The two said together, "Neither of them. We want to become your disciples!"
Weng Xuhua rubbed his chin with satisfaction: "Young people are really formidable. My apprentice is actually recruiting new apprentices."
Bai Mian hastily declined: "I'm sorry, my ability is innate and I can't teach it to others. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Xia Mang did not flinch at all. Perhaps she had already prepared herself for rejection before she came. "Don't be embarrassed, Master. I understand. This is a skill that helps you make a living. If you don't want to spread it, then change your identity and let us be your live broadcast assistants, okay?"
"Live broadcast assistant?" Bai Mian was a little hesitant.
"Yes, you really need a live broadcast assistant now," Lu Xue pushed her glasses and walked forward to say, "You are very busy every day and don't have time to manage your account barrage and comment area, so you need someone to help you manage it. In the past ten days, there have been eight fan-hat wars in your live broadcast room, and five times you were attacked by fans of celebrities and fell. You didn't notice these things yourself, right?"
Bai Mian nodded: "Indeed, I don't have the energy to care about those things."
Lu Xue said seriously: "Then let us help you. If your comments continue to be as chaotic as they are now, your account's overall score will be reduced and your traffic will be restricted. With the live broadcast assistant, we will help you block some extreme accounts and extreme speech, so that this situation will not happen again."
Bai Mian: "How much salary do you want?"
Xia Mang said hurriedly: "We don't want money, as long as we can see you every day!"
Bai Mian was very confused: "Then aren't you working for nothing?"
Xia Mang immediately denied it: "Don't say that, this is called generating electricity for love, it is very popular in the fan circle, every star has a group of fans who generate electricity for love."
Bai Mian shook his head: "I'm not a celebrity, and I don't want to be in the fan circle."
Xia Mang looked at Bai Mian with a pair of starry eyes: "But, we really like you, both of us sisters like you very much!"
Weng Xuhua couldn't bear to disappoint these two enthusiastic girls, so he agreed on behalf of Bai Mian: "Okay, now that Xiao Yang has left, our store is short of staff, so you two can stay. You don't have to be live broadcast assistants, just help out wherever the store is busy. The first month will be considered a probation period, and you will be paid 2,000 yuan, with food and accommodation provided."
The two girls didn't say anything. Weng Xuhua thought they were complaining about the low salary, so he added: "Although the salary is not high, the work is very leisurely, and you don't need to be on duty all day. You only need to be on duty for four hours a day, and you can go out and play at any time."
Weng Xuhua recruited these two girls just to fulfill their wishes. He didn't expect them to do anything too heavy. As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Mang jumped up excitedly: "Yeah, that's great. I thought I was doing this for love, but I didn't expect to get paid. Mom and Dad, I succeeded in chasing my idol!"
Since the master had already nodded in agreement, Bai Mian couldn't say anything more. However, out of caution, she still confirmed with the two girls: "Where do you live? Are you a local? Do your families know that you are here?"
Xia Mang said, "We are both from Beijing. We came to Qingshui Town just for you. We are twin sisters, she is the older one and I am the younger one. We both just finished the college entrance examination this year and have received the admission notice. We have two months of summer vacation and were wondering where to go during the summer vacation. Then I saw your live broadcast. We sisters have always been interested in this kind of supernatural things, so we flew here directly."
Lu Xue added: "Our parents are aware of this and agree. We are both very self-sufficient and are willing to let us go out to exercise and get in touch with society. We can treat this as a summer internship."
"You are from the capital," Gao Jin said caringly, "Why can't I see your luggage? Oh, you must have nowhere to stay, so stay in the hotel. I'll go and prepare a room for you."
"No need," Lu Xue hurriedly stopped Gao Jin, "We have already rented a house in Qingshui Town, you don't have to clean the room for us."
Xia Mang also said: "Yes, we plan to buy clothes and daily necessities when we get to the local area, don't worry."
Bai Mian looked at them. It seemed that the two sisters came from a well-off family and came here just to experience life.
Gao Jin asked again: "By the way, since you are sisters, why do you have different last names?"
Xia Mang said frankly: "One of us took our father's surname, and the other took our mother's surname."
Gao Jin exclaimed in surprise: "The times now are really different from what we were in the past..."
After chatting for a while, Weng Xuhua signed the contract with the two girls, and then they went out to buy things. Gao Jin pulled Bai Mian to the dining table for breakfast. Today's breakfast was shredded pork noodles. The noodles were rolled by the two old people themselves, and the noodles were full of shredded pork. Gao Jin also put a golden poached egg in each person's bowl, which made people drool just by looking at it.
Lame Brother sat down at the dining table early. He didn't wait for anyone and lowered his head to eat the noodles in the bowl. When the two girls were here just now, Lame Brother had been silent, which was unlike his usual self.
"Hey," Bai Mian nudged Lame Brother with his elbow, "What's wrong with you today? Someone is helping you share the work, you should be happy."
Lame brother said listlessly: "I am not feeling well, I want to take a week off."
Weng Xuhua immediately asked with concern: "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Let me feel your pulse."
But Lame Brother refused him: "No, Boss, I may have a bone problem. I need to go to the hospital for an X-ray. Feeling my pulse won't tell."
Weng Xuhua agreed without thinking: "Okay, then go ahead. Your health is important. Tell me when the test results come out. If you need to recuperate at home, then take a long vacation."
When Lame Brother got the permission, he showed a hint of joy on his face. Bai Mian noticed his slight expression and immediately stopped him: "Wait, what you just said was an excuse, right? Tell me, what is the real reason for your leave?"
Lame brother looked embarrassed: "Hey, we are all colleagues, why are you exposing me?"
Bai Mian: "Asking for leave is a small matter, but Master is so good to you, how can you bear to lie to him? Tell the truth about what happened, and Master will give you leave anyway."
Lame brother curled his lips and whispered: "If I tell the truth, he won't give me a fake."
Bai Mian frowned: "Are you going to do something illegal? Then you should make it clear, otherwise if something happens to you, Master will be held responsible."
Lame Brother hesitated and refused to speak, so Bai Mian simply threatened him: "If you don't speak, I will feel your pulse. You know, as long as I feel your pulse, I will know everything."
Lame Brother was forced into a corner and had no choice but to say, "Well... a few days ago, a primary school classmate of mine came to me and said there was a good opportunity to make a fortune, but he needed help. He had already found a few people and now wanted to recruit me. I thought, anyway, I don't have to pay, I just need to contribute some effort, so I agreed. I took leave this time just to go out and make a fortune with them."
Bai Mian pressed the issue: "What do you mean by getting rich?"
Lame Brother hesitated and said, "Have you heard of the treasure of Wulong Mountain?"
Bai Mian shook her head. She was not a local, so she had never heard of this legend. But Weng Xuhua had heard of it. He smiled and said, "It's just a legend. Why do you take it seriously?"
Bai Mian: "What legend? Tell me about it."
Weng Xuhua looked out the window and said, "Look, to the southeast, there is a mountain called God of Wealth. After crossing this mountain, continue walking south and you will see another mountain, which is Wulong Mountain."
"Decades ago, there was a village on Wulong Mountain. In the village there was a ruffian named Du Dasheng. Du Dasheng's family was very prosperous, and all of them were as bad-tempered and fierce as he was. Gradually, the Du family became the bully in the village."
