She was still thinking about those men from yesterday, which caused her to make several mistakes.
Fortunately, it was Zhizhi who reminded her, noticing that Zhou Ruan wasn't really in the zone.
I know she was worried about what happened yesterday.
"Sister Ruan, stop worrying about those men. You're not feeling well today, just like you said. It wouldn't be good if the customers complained."
Zhou Ruan knew all this, but she still couldn't help thinking about it.
How could anyone not worry about this?
"Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and do your thing."
Seeing that she couldn't get a word in edgewise, Zhizhi decided not to say anything more.
Thinking that it might disturb Zhou Ruan again and make her think even more, would be even worse.
Soon, Zhou Wen arrived at the store.
The first thing she did upon entering was look for Zhou Ruan. Zhou Ruan hadn't returned home all night, and she had thought something had happened to her.
Although Zhou Ruan is an adult, as her older sister, I still have to care about this kind of thing.
"Xiao Ruan, why didn't you come back all night yesterday? Come up here for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruan realized that it was a coincidence that she had also been planning to tell her older sister about what happened yesterday.
The two went upstairs in unison, but a few onlookers sensed something was amiss.
Upon hearing that Zhou Ruan had not returned home all night, the group started gossiping again.
Just then, there weren't many people in the store, so the employees gathered around Zhizhi and started discussing it.
"Zhizhi, tell me the truth, does Sister Ruan have a boyfriend? She didn't go home all night last night?"
Employee A couldn't wait to ask.
Upon hearing that Zhou Ruan has a boyfriend, Zhizhi couldn't help but want to gossip, but then she became puzzled.
If I had a boyfriend, I would definitely tell her right away.
How could she not know about this?
"What are you talking about? Sister Ruan is in the shop every day, busy with everything. She doesn't have time to find a boyfriend."
Immediately, Zhizhi thwarted all their ideas.
Employee B: "You wouldn't believe it, but as far as I know, Sister Ruan has never had the habit of staying out all night. At least, that's always been the case in all the time I've worked here. So, this time, if it wasn't because of her boyfriend, what is it because of?"
Upon hearing this, the others immediately reacted as if they had just eaten a big surprise.
They were eager to dig out all the personal information of Zhou Ruan and her boyfriends.
Zhizhi was utterly speechless upon hearing this.
Yesterday, Sister Ruan was clearly with her, but what they said completely turned the truth upside down.
However, it's not hard to imagine that Zhou Ruan didn't have a very good image in the minds of these people.
She can be said to be on par with Abbess Miejue.
So as soon as Zhou Ruan made any move, the direction of the group changed.
"Okay, let me clarify something. Sister Ruan stayed at the shop with me yesterday. Stop making wild guesses, she doesn't have a boyfriend at all."
Upon hearing Zhizhi's words, the expressions on everyone's faces immediately changed from joy to disappointment.
I thought there was some juicy gossip to be had, but it seems like it was all for nothing.
"Oh, I see. How boring."
After they finished speaking, they prepared to return to their work stations.
But then Zhizhi suddenly remembered what Zhou Wen had asked her to tell the others.
"Hey, wait a minute, besides this, there's something else I want to tell you. How about it? Want to hear it?"
Upon hearing that there seemed to be some juicy gossip to be had, the group immediately crowded around again.
"Tell us, tell us! We're willing to listen!"
"Then I'll tell you, I heard there are a few men around here..."
However, before she could even finish speaking, Zhizhi realized that what she said might not be quite right.
She was thinking to herself, how could she talk about those men? What if they overthink it?
If they don't dare to come to work then, the store will suffer losses.
So he immediately changed his tune: "It seems there are perverts around here at night, and I heard that several girls have been murdered. Although the perverts didn't do anything, it's still very scary."
Employee A: "Oh, then we should call the police right away! Let the police arrest those perverts! They have no respect for women whatsoever. People like that should be punished accordingly."
Employee B: "That's right, that's right, people like that should be arrested and shot."
Zhizhi noticed that the group of people were all furious with the pervert.
He immediately continued, "So, you all need to be extra careful after get off work. Yesterday, I saw some people outside the door who seemed to have ulterior motives, so I asked Sister Ruan to stay with me. Firstly, for her personal safety, and secondly, it would be safer for the two of us to be together. Now you know why she didn't come home all night."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood. But they also began to panic.
"Oh, so that's what happened. Looks like we'll have to be more careful after get off work. Let's walk together!"
"Then we should hurry up and stock up on pepper spray, stun guns, and the like."
"Let's go to the convenience store to buy some during our lunch break. Zhizhi, do you want us to get you some too, for self-defense?"
Upon hearing this, Zhizhi realized that carrying those things around wouldn't be without its advantages.
Besides, if those men were to burst in at any moment, this would be a good precaution.
"Okay, okay, you can help me carry it when you come, and I'll transfer the money to you later."
After saying that, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
On the second floor, Zhou Wen and Zhou Ruan sat side by side, but Zhou Wen seemed a little unhappy.
"Why didn't you come back yesterday? Do you know how worried I was about you?"
"Sis, didn't I text you last night? I forgot to tell you, I stayed at the shop with Zhizhi last night. You can ask her if you don't believe me."
Zhou Ruan was like a kitten in front of Zhou Wen, completely under her control.
That's why they say there's a difference between older and younger sisters, isn't it?
"You scared me to death! You suddenly disappeared, and I thought you had a boyfriend! I knew my dear sister, how could you have a boyfriend and not tell your older sister?"
"Boyfriend? I'm so busy every day that I barely get any sleep. I'm just lucky I'm not dead from exhaustion. You wouldn't believe it, I didn't sleep well yesterday, I even had insomnia."
Zhizhi, that girl, never expected that someone who looked so gentle and weak would snore so loudly.
Anyone who didn't know better would think a bomb had fallen from the sky.
Zhou Ruan felt annoyed just thinking about it, but there was nothing she could do. Luckily, she hadn't come to her senses after drinking coffee in the morning.
"If you knew it would be like this, why didn't you come back to live here? I really didn't realize that Zhizhi was such a capable girl. She even managed to keep you in check!"
Zhou Wen appears reserved on the surface, but she is actually quite cunning.
Thinking to himself that he had caught his younger sister red-handed again...
