Chapter 531 Strange Book
"Oh, if there are books you can understand, would this bookstore still be in Tianshuzhai? These books are written in alien characters. If you want to understand them or buy them, you have to look at the word 'Yuan'."
"Haha, I'm not a non-mainstream person, but I can't understand these alien languages. It seems like this trip was in vain. Witch, let's go!"
Suddenly, a book fell from the bookshelf in front of Yang Di. She picked it up and took a look. Although she still couldn't understand the words in it, the illustrations in the book were so beautiful that her heart couldn't help but be moved.
"Boss, how much is this book?"
"Since it has chosen you, I will give the book to the right person. It doesn't cost you anything."
"How can this be so embarrassing? Boss, I can't just take other people's things. You have to charge me at least a little bit!"
The fortune teller and the boss looked at each other.
"Okay! I'll charge you ten dollars!"
Yang Di couldn't believe her ears. "Only ten dollars? That's too cheap!" she couldn't help but blurt out.
With this cover packaging and this exquisite printing, you probably can’t even buy a pirated copy for ten dollars.
She put the money on the table and left Tianshuzhai with the little witch.
After returning to the villa, she casually flipped through the book and put it aside.
That day, Yang Di accidentally discovered that Shuang was reading the book she bought from Tianshuzhai with great interest.
"Brother, can you understand what's written inside?"
"I can understand it. Not only me, but my second brother also understands it, but he thinks it's all deceptive and ugly."
"How is this possible? I can't understand a single word."
Yang Di snatched the book, rubbed her eyes and read it carefully again, but the result was the same as the previous times, she couldn't understand a single word.
"You and the second brother must be lying. I'll ask the eldest brother."
Yang Di took the book to Mingli and said, "Brother, can you help me see what's written inside? I can't understand it at all, but Yang Shuang said that he and his second brother understood it."
Mingli took the book and read it carefully from the beginning, but like Yang Di, he couldn't recognize a single word.
"I don't understand what's written in it. If Uncle Situ is free later, you can ask him." He returned the book to Yang Di and hurried out.
"Humph, I'm so pissed. I told you they're both liars. No one can understand this book."
Yang Di was too lazy to look for Situ again until she put the book back on the bookshelf.
Today is Mingli's first day at work at the LaCrosse Hotel, so he naturally cannot be late. At this moment, he is both excited and nervous.
"Be sensible..." He was stopped by someone as soon as he stepped into Junyue.
"I received news yesterday that a new colleague named Chen Mingli would be joining us. I thought it was someone with the same name, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Li Yu ran towards Mingli and held his arms tightly with both hands.
"When I saw you before, you were still a little kid. I didn't expect so many years to pass by in the blink of an eye. You have grown into a handsome young man."
"Yes, Aunt Li Yu, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you and Uncle Dali doing recently?"
"Life is still bearable, but after so many years, he and I still haven't had a child. This is a regret that we both have hidden in our hearts!"
"Auntie, there are eight out of ten things in life that are not satisfactory. Everyone has some regrets in their heart!"
"Who says it's not true? Take your mother Meizhu and Junlan for example! How wonderful it would be if they could see you like this!"
Mingli smiled bitterly and nodded.
"I have to go to work. We can talk over lunch."
Li Yu knocked his head and said, "Look at my memory. I almost forgot my work. Okay, let's talk about it during lunch!"
At lunch time, Niu Dali and Li Yu were already waiting for Mingli in the cafeteria.
Niu Dali: "Mingli, which department do you work in? Feel free to come to the warehouse to brag to me during your free time. The old people in this hotel have left one after another, and it's really hard to find someone to chat with now. I really miss the good times when we were a gossipy group of four and had nothing to talk about."
Li Yu rolled his eyes at him. "That's all in the past. Why bring it up again? Mingli, do you have any friends?"
"I'm just a security guard in the security department now. I don't know anything. How can I have time for a relationship?"
"No way? You studied abroad and were adopted by a big boss. How could you be so humble as to be a security guard?" Li Yu stood up for Mingli.
"It's nothing. I came up with this idea myself. As the saying goes, start from the bottom! Wasn't Uncle Yang Ning just a front desk clerk before? The front desk and security are the ones who have the latest news about the hotel. When we need to chat about gossip, I might be the one who knows the most."
When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.
After a busy day, Mingli can finally go home and rest.
Seeing him come back, Situ asked with concern, "How is it? Are you getting used to your first day at work?"
"Not bad, my new colleagues are all very nice to me."
"Well, did the old employees say anything more?"
"There aren't many of their old employees left. They practically watched me grow up. I haven't seen them for so long, and we didn't say much, just a brief chat."
"That's good. As long as you are happy, that's all." After saying that, Situ walked towards his room.
Suddenly, Mingli seemed to have thought of something.
"Did Yang Di take out a book to ask you this morning?"
"Books? What books? There aren't any!"
"It seems she didn't come to see you. This is what happened. This morning, Yang Di brought a strange book to me and asked me if I could understand it. I was in a hurry to go to work, so I asked her to come to you and ask. Now that I think about it, the book is indeed a bit strange. The words written on it are the same as Yang Di. I can't understand a single word. But Yang Di said that Yang Shuang and Yang Le could understand it. Don't you think it's strange? I'm worried that if these children read too many strange books, it will affect their studies."
Situ thought for a while, "Oh! I see, I will follow up, you just concentrate on your work at Junyue! If you have nothing else, I will go back to my room first."
He said he was going back to his room, but in fact he was checking on the children's rooms while they were sleeping.
He opened their drawers and looked carefully but did not find the strange book nor any suspicious objects.
"Maybe we're too nervous?"
Situ was about to go back to his room when he was attracted by a beautifully packaged book on the bookshelf.
"When did Nangong buy a new book?" Curiosity prompted him to open the bookcase and take out the book. After reading it, he hurried to Nangong's room.
Looking at the panicked Situ, Nangong Yu also felt the seriousness of the situation.
"What happened?"
"Take a look at this book!"
After Nangong Yu finished reading the book, he said, "Oh no! I don't know if our children helped them to unblock it."
