Chapter 1
Saturday, August 9, cloudy.
At 10 a.m., all the staff of Xinghe Script Society (including Lili) and Wang Zhuo appeared in a cinema in a newly opened shopping mall 7 kilometers away from the store.
As for why theoretically only Liu Lan was taking a rest, it turned into a team building for the whole store, we have to start with the septic tank.
The septic tank next to the script store exploded.
No one knows how the septic tank exploded, and there are many different opinions among the shop owners in the alley. Some people said that the septic tank was blown up by a naughty child who lit firecrackers, but this statement was unanimously opposed by everyone.
Let’s not talk about whether the underground septic tank can be found and blown up by a naughty kid. Let’s just say that this septic tank exploded at two or three in the morning. Which naughty kid would stay up at two or three in the morning and take a string of firecrackers to look for a septic tank?
Everyone thinks that it is more likely that a drunkard was smoking on the roadside in the middle of the night and threw a cigarette butt into the manhole cover, causing the septic tank to explode.
The cause was no longer important. The result was that the shops and residents near the alley suffered a septic tank explosion that was rarely seen in the news. The whole alley was filled with sewage and the stench was overwhelming. The maintenance personnel had rushed to carry out emergency repairs, but it was still unknown whether they could be repaired within a day.
All shops in the alley are closed for one day, and whether they can resume business the next day depends on whether the street can be occupied the next day.
As soon as Jiang Qi received the news, he sent a message to the group, announcing that the business would be suspended today, and explained that the reason for the suspension was because the septic tank exploded.
Then everyone in the group laughed.
A guest who lives nearby said that although the script store was closed, he had to go over to take a look, if for no other reason than to see what the septic tank looked like after it exploded.
Liu Lan was the first person in the store to know that the septic tank had exploded. She was awakened by the stench before dawn.
She lives on the first floor.
By the way, since it wasn’t very hot last night, Liu Lan didn’t turn on the air conditioner when she went to bed - she opened the window.
After a brief discussion with Jiang Qi, Liu Lan privately chatted with all the customers who had put together their orders that day, explained the reasons, and based on the customers' own schedules, helped them move their orders to a suitable time period in the next few days, while giving each person a discount of 30 yuan.
The suspension of business was not caused by the store itself, but by force majeure. And the fact that the store was closed because of a septic tank explosion was too funny. The first reply of all customers was basically "Hahahahaha, I am dying of laughter", and then they discussed the time with Liu Lan.
Although the septic tank exploded, Jiang Qi and Wang Erya had promised Lili last night that they would take her to the movies this morning. If it were an ordinary child, his parents, elders, or friends would cancel his long-awaited outing due to some unexpected matters, and the child would at most cry for a while and be unhappy for a few days.
But Lili is no ordinary child.
Jiang Qi was afraid that he had to stand Lili up this morning, and Lili was in a bad mood and didn't know how to control the timing to send the guest away, so he was happy to get the explanation today.
For the safety of the guests and his own life, Jiang Qi was fully armed with a raincoat, rain boots, plastic bags and everything else he could get. He waded through the sewage to pick up Lili from the store.
When Jiang Qi carried Lili out, the naughty child kept yelling "Banban Chouxiu", which made Jiang Qi so angry that he almost slipped and dropped Lili into the manure.
The shop was closed and Jiang Qi had nothing to do, so he asked Liu Lan to buy him a movie ticket so that he could go to the movies too.
Then Huang Fugui said he wanted to go too.
Jiang Wanwan and Qin Can, who were awakened by a phone call from Liu Lan, said they wanted to go too.
Old John didn't want to go because he wanted to do a live broadcast, but Huang Fugui thought he wanted to go.
In the end, Old John canceled the live broadcast and joined this temporary team building.
Even teachers want to take a break and slack off occasionally.
Those who don’t want to go to school may not be students, but teachers.
Faced with the teacher suddenly skipping class to watch a movie, nearly 2,000 students in the live broadcast room wailed. The top brother jr123ew hurriedly brushed rockets to maintain his position as the top brother.
Speaking of which, jr123ew is also a wonderful person. Jiang Qi often sees him sharing notes and asking questions in the fan support group of Old John. Most of the questions he asks are relatively easy. Since he must send rockets in the live broadcast room every day, sometimes one and sometimes two, he is also a celebrity among Old John's viewers. In addition, he must share his notes of the day in the group every day, so he is very popular, so his questions in the group can usually be answered.
jr123ew is a poor student.
This is Jiang Qi's judgment of him.
But he is also a serious and rich student.
At present, the notes taken by jr123ew are generally recognized as the best, clearest and most complete in the group. His handwriting is also good and is quite popular among everyone.
.
jr123ew shared the notes he just took in the group again.
There were still about 20 minutes before the movie started. Jiang Qi and a group of people were sitting on the sofa in front of the ticket gate waiting for the show to start.
Because it was a team building, Jiang Qi said that the money for today's outings and food would be paid from the store's public account. Anyway, Wang Zhuo was half a member of the store. During the past few days when he was in the store, Jiang Qi often asked him to deliver food. It can be said that he worked for nothing for several days.
Everyone was very open and everyone had the biggest bucket of popcorn and iced cola, and they were as happy as gods.
Morning shows on non-holidays are usually not watched by anyone. The cinema Liu Lan chose was located in a newly opened shopping mall with relatively small customer flow. There were only eight people including Jiang Qi in the entire hall, and only one cinema staff member came.
"By the way, Lanlan, how much is today's movie ticket? I'll transfer the money to you." Jiang Qi was reading a group message. A group of postgraduate entrance examination candidates were undoubtedly chatting about their review progress and the colleges they were applying to. As a non-postgraduate entrance examination candidate, Jiang Qi just watched and didn't say anything.
Liu Lan looked at the bill and said, "The total is 79.2 yuan."
Jiang Qi:?
"How much?" Jiang Qi thought he had heard wrongly.
"79.2 yuan. This cinema is newly opened, and they're offering an opening special. The morning show of this crappy movie is only 9.9 yuan a ticket." Liu Lan said.
Everyone: ...So you also know it’s a rubbish movie.
Yes, it was only after everyone arrived at the cinema to pick up their tickets that they found out that the movie they were going to watch that morning was a domestic horror film.
"Pen Fairy Xxxx"
A rubbish movie whose title alone tells you it won't get a rating higher than 4.
At first, everyone thought that Liu Lan had unique tastes and had been interested in horror movies for some time, so he really wanted to watch horror movies, even if they were obviously bad movies just by looking at the title.
It turns out it was because of the 9.9 special offer.
Jiang Qi suddenly felt that the next movie might not be that bad.
How can a movie with a score of 9.9 be considered a terrible movie?
A crappy little movie at best.
Jiang Qi transferred the money to Liu Lan. After receiving the money, Liu Lan wanted to ask everyone what they wanted to eat for lunch. Then he saw Wang Erya handing popcorn to Lili and asking Lili to smell it to see if it was fragrant.
Lili's skin today is a standard pastoral style blonde doll. Lili rarely goes out not for food but simply to play. Although her previous owner often took her out, most of the time it was for volunteer work and charity to earn a living for Lili. He basically never took her out to play, let alone to the cinema to watch movies.
The previous owner fed Lili a full meal every day in the hope that she would accomplish her merits and be reborn soon. She was so busy doing good deeds every day that she had no time to watch a movie.
Lili had never seen popcorn or smelled the fragrance of popcorn, so Wang Erya brought the popcorn to her side and asked her to smell it carefully.
Liu Lan thought Wang Erya was just playing with the doll, and asked curiously, "Qinghe, is this the doll in the doll house? Did you take it home last night?"
Wang Erya nodded: "Yes, her name is Lili."
"Stick it!" Lili said in a very small voice.
Wang Erya handed Lili to Liu Lan: "Sister Lanlan, please help me hold it. I want to eat some popcorn. I'm afraid that if I eat while holding Lili, she will get dirty."
"Okay." Liu Lan had no interest in popcorn and held Lili in his arms. "I'll help you hold the baby while we watch the movie later."
Lili lay happily in Liu Lan's arms.
Jiang Qi glanced at Lili and found that although Lili's expression was very happy, her body was very honest. It was obvious that she was a professional at making dolls.
Not only can she go out to play, but she can also be hugged and kissed by the beautiful sisters she has certified, and she can also watch horror movies. Jiang Qi said that this team building was tailor-made for Lili.
"Let's have hotpot for lunch. I just did a search and found a Sichuan-Chongqing hotpot restaurant in this mall. I saw good reviews." Liu Lan said.
"Okay, okay." Jiang Wanwan said that she liked anything that was free, "I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time!"
"Lao Jiang, the news of the septic tank explosion is on the news. I saw it. Look." Wang Zhuo, who had been looking at his phone, clicked on the news, and everyone gathered together to take a look.
The news is very short and can be regarded as an interesting anecdote. The editor joked about the accidental explosion of a septic tank in a humorous tone, and also gave some scientific knowledge on why septic tanks exploded. It also included two pictures of the scene taken that morning.
And explain the pictures taken.
'Due to the sudden explosion of the septic tank, sewage flowed all over the street, causing nearby residents to have to wade through the sewage to get home in full gear.'
The accompanying picture shows the back of a fully armed young man.
Jiang Qi recognized the young man in the picture at a glance: ...
Shit, who took the photo?
"Hey, the figure in this photo looks a lot like you, Brother Jiang Qi. I remember you have a similar raincoat at home." It can only be said that Jiang Wanwan is worthy of being Jiang Qi's cousin, as she almost revealed the truth with just one word.
Jiang Qi: ...
"Really? Haha, what a coincidence." Jiang Qi laughed dryly.
Wang Zhuo continued to flip through the pages, and the next photo was still of Jiang Qi, with his profile captured.
Jiang Qi: ...
Everyone: ...
Everyone looked at Jiang Qi.
"Well." Jiang Qi thought frantically and blurted out, "Didn't I see people talking about septic tank explosions in the merchant group early in the morning? I've never seen a septic tank explode, so I thought it might not be that serious, so I went to the store to try and see if there was any chance that a customer would wade through sewage to make money in the store."
After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he was shocked by the reason he made up.
Damn, what kind of capitalist thinking is this?
Liu Lan, who was awakened by the stench of sewage before dawn, was also shocked.
"Fuck, what kind of capitalist are you?"
"Boss, please be a human being. How can I possibly eat vegetable noodles with that smell?"
Jiang Qi:?
Is this your focus?
