A fancy barbecue restaurant next to the overpass.
Because it is located in a remote area and is expensive.
Its customer base is smaller than other vendors' stalls, and even at midday, customer traffic remains low.
Qi Jin was tidying up the table when he looked up and exclaimed, "It's you again... Yinzi!?"
Before Qu Jian'er could even introduce herself, the burly Qi Jin rushed out of the shop. He ran straight to Qi Yin's side, patting Qi Yin's biceps and praising him incessantly.
Qi Jin smiled at the man who was the same height and looked just like him: "You're back. Why didn't you let me pick you up? Let me take a good look at you. You've gotten even darker in the past three years."
Qi Yin's cold voice contrasted sharply with Qi Jin's slurred speech: "This is called a healthy wheat complexion. Also, you were only born half an hour before me. What kind of brother are you?"
Qi Jin put his arm around his brother's shoulder: "Half an hour is still early. Don't think I can't beat you."
While the two brothers were flirting.
Qu Jian'er, carrying the wooden board wrapped in a cloth, circled around the clean shop where Qi Jin worked.
Zuo Chen, on the other hand, was much more relaxed. He sat in a corner, and the surrounding environment could not hide his elegant temperament. No matter where he was, he could adapt very quickly.
Zuo Chen's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the person who had been secretly watching him many times: "Master, is there anything I can help you with?"
Half an hour ago.
Lan Xiaodie left with regret after failing to find the person, and the lively atmosphere by the overpass also disappeared.
Qu Jian'er could have simply packed up and left.
The reason she followed Zuo Chen to this shop was twofold: firstly, she remembered Qi Jin's sharp tongue and wanted to possess him; secondly, and most importantly, she needed the karmic debt Zuo Chen had in him.
She plopped down opposite Zuo Chen, her expression unusually serious: "Can I touch you..."
"What? You want to touch the boss there!?"
With a "whoosh".
Qi Yin didn't bother arguing with Qi Jin about who was the older brother and who was the younger brother; he slipped between the two of them.
Zuo Chen fell silent first: "..."
Qi Jin looked at his simple-minded, silly younger brother with an expression that said, "Your repeated words sound so strange."
Qu Jian'er continued expressionlessly, "I just wanted to touch Mr. Zuo's beaded necklace."
Qi Yin blushed.
Fortunately, it was covered by his skin color.
Qu Jian'er took the string of beads that Zuo Chen had taken off and absorbed them one by one. Then she took apart one of the beads that had lost its magic and replaced it with a bead from her own wrist.
She could have returned to the film studio and absorbed the karmic resentment hidden within. But after absorbing it for two days and eating its "dregs" for two days, she still felt that what was on Zuo Chen's body was the most delicious.
Qu Jian'er looked completely satisfied.
Zuo Chen took the warm beaded bracelet from Qu Jian'er's hands. His body temperature was always low. He usually disliked contact with outsiders, but for the first time ever, he didn't feel any aversion.
Instead, he began to caress the string of beads that Qu Jian'er had touched.
Upon hearing Qu Jian'er point out the severity of the karmic obstacles within him, Zuo Chen simply stared quietly at the replaced beaded string, his emotions unreadable.
Qi Jin never misses an opportunity to make money: "The manager isn't here today, and it's almost noon. Let my brother treat you, and I'll cook for you. I'll add extra meat, how about that?"
Qi Yin: Gou Ze Jin, you took my money, in your name!?
soon.
A large plate of sizzling grilled meat was served.
Qu Jian'er said seriously, "Then I'll make a fool of myself."
The narcissistic Qu has an especially exaggerated appetite and puts on an attitude of being completely unreserved.
It's almost as if they're hanging a sign on its little forehead that says, "Although I am a Class I protected animal, I am allowed to be fed in large quantities."
After the meal, the three grown men still couldn't eat as much as Qu Jian'er, who looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Not long after they had eaten and drunk their fill.
Qi Yin walked out of the kitchen dejectedly, like a big dog that had been scolded.
Seizing the opportunity, Qu Jian'er slipped into the kitchen and said in official terms, "It's fate that we met."
Qi Jin, who was washing dishes, had just finished a conversation and was still feeling a bit irritated: "Let's get straight to the point, what exactly do you want to say?"
Qi Jin's family consists of three people.
Because he didn't want his single mother to work hard to earn money, he dropped out of school early, leaving the opportunity for advancement to Qi Yin. After years of hard work and struggle, he had long since learned to be glib and smooth-talking.
He changed jobs almost every month, but with his mother working in the film studio's canteen, the money they earned was enough to support the family. However, he never expected Qi Yin to make a mistake at work.
Damage to military property.
They incurred a large debt.
He was even reprimanded and advised to leave by the legion!
He could see that Qi Yin would have a bright future following Zuo Chen, but he was still worried. He had heard the saying that "it's not good to get along with important people."
Although I don't know Qi Yin's salary.
But he was certain that Qi Yin's salary was insufficient to cover that exorbitant compensation.
His intuition told him that Zuo Chen deserved some credit for Qi Yin's willingness to leave the legion.
Just as Qi Jin was lost in thought.
Qu Jian'er spoke nonsense with a straight face: "Housing prices are too high these days, and the competition is fierce. Working 996, there's no time to rest. Don't hesitate, join our team starting today and become a follower of the Taoist temple. Become the CEO, marry a rich and handsome man or a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reaching the pinnacle of life is not a dream."
(-@y@) Qi Jin: EXM? Did something strange get mixed in?
Qu Jian'er continued her efforts to recruit people: "Are you still worried about not finding a job? Are you still troubled by not being able to find a wife? Join us now and achieve..."
Qi Jin interrupted coldly: "I can tell you're a liar, trying to trick me into joining your pyramid scheme."
When he first met Qu Jian'er, he heard her perform a fortune-telling on him and assumed she was a charlatan.
