Cheng Shuang then rubbed her eyes in response, her red, peach-blossom eyes revealing a hint of unease and panic.
"Excuse me, is there an announcement in the mall? Could you please make an announcement to find my parents?" she asked cautiously.
"Your parents are so careless, they can even lose their child." The plastics employee immediately stood up. In his excitement, he accidentally pushed the chair, and the metal legs hit the floor tiles, making a hissing noise.
The little girl at the door seemed frightened and took a step back, almost burying herself in Liu Juan's arms. Liu Juan gently supported her, her voice smiling, "Don't be afraid, little girl, this big sister will help you."
The plastic worker, perhaps realizing she had been too hasty, chuckled twice and beckoned to Cheng Shuang, "Come here, little one, I have some snacks. Come over and make a note! Let the aunt who brought you leave first; let's not waste her time, okay?"
Although the staff member was very approachable, it was clear that the child's initial impression of the staff member was not very good, so much so that the child turned around and hid behind the kind person.
"This..." Liu Juan helplessly spread her hands, "What do you think we should do? I still want to go shopping!"
The female employee thought for a moment, opened her desk drawer, took out a snack basket, and shook it in her hand, deliberately softening her high-pitched voice, "Little one, come on in. You can come in and wait for your parents. My snacks are very good!"
Cheng Shuang stubbornly hid behind Liu Juan, ignoring the snacks, looking shy and timid.
The female employee hesitated. She was thinking about the outstanding employee award. She thought that if she helped a lost child find his parents, the parents would at least give her something in return!
But this kid is a bit difficult to deal with.
With a heavy heart, the female employee asked Liu Juan hesitantly, "Would you mind coming in and keeping her company?" It wasn't that the customer service department wouldn't let people in, but rather that she was worried Liu Juan would take away her bonus. But seeing that Liu Juan didn't speak, she couldn't help but plead, "This customer, you can leave anytime once the child is more familiar with the place."
It must be said that in terms of money, the plastic man is the one who pursues the ultimate goal among all types of homeless people.
Cheng Shuang revealed a subtle expression, because the female employee's next words revealed her true thoughts: "From childhood to university, schools have taught us to return lost property. I think you, customer, should understand how anxious parents who have lost their children must be. To avoid them irrationally bothering you and wasting your time, I would like to thank you on behalf of the parents!"
The subtext is: the bonus has nothing to do with you, so don't try to take it from me!
Liu Juan almost laughed.
She felt she was still young and hadn't encountered enough oddballs.
"Don't I need to register?" she asked deliberately, "What if my parents ask me..."
"Uh...no need." The plastics employee hurriedly retorted, seemingly realizing that he was too eager and might arouse suspicion. He forced a distinctly fake smile. "We need to be careful to protect personal information. With such rampant leaks these days, if someone were to have their money stolen because of it, they would be furious!" The last sentence was undoubtedly what he really thought. His fake smile turned into an exaggerated downward curve, and his empathetic attitude made his sharp tone much richer.
Unfortunately, Liu Juan felt embarrassed for him after hearing those words.
If there really was an information leak, it would definitely be the fault of their online store's customer service department employees. Unfortunately, for her own purposes, Liu Juan suppressed the urge to confront them, gave a deep "hmm," pretended to be persuaded by the female employee, and took Cheng Shuang's hand, comforting her while leading her into the house.
The two sat down at the table, and the female employee picked up a form for Cheng Shuang to register.
Cheng Shuang naturally couldn't reveal detailed information, but she didn't care about things like her already exposed name and surname; she just made up whatever else she knew.
The father's name is Cheng Dujun, the mother's name is Wang Sunhan, and the contact information is just a blank space. What a joke! If they remembered the phone number, they wouldn't have gotten lost.
Liu Juan had been secretly looking around, but when she found the office too dimly lit and found nothing, her gaze inadvertently swept across the paper and settled on the contact person's name. Then she had a strong urge to take out her phone and take a picture to remember the moment.
The female employee glanced at the form quickly, put it aside, and pushed the snack basket toward Cheng Shuang. Her tone was no longer as warm as before. "Here, have some!" It conveyed a cold attitude that said, "Eat less if you want to, and don't eat if you don't want to."
Cheng Shuang gave a crisp thank you, grabbed two large handfuls from the snack basket, and handed all the snack bags to Liu Juan in the instant the female employee froze. Then she turned around and grabbed two more handfuls.
The female employee stiffened her neck, lowered her head, glanced at her suddenly empty snack basket, and after holding back for a long time, gritted her teeth and spat out a few words, "Kids can eat so much! Be careful, they won't digest it!"
"Thank you for your concern, sister!" Little Cheng Shuang smiled sweetly, looking completely content with the snacks, a stark contrast to her previous wary and guarded demeanor.
Liu Juan hadn't intended to eat, but seeing the female employee speechless and embarrassed, she immediately felt hungry. Especially since the young woman ate with great relish—not in a smacking or smacking manner, but without making any strange noises, yet the deliciousness of the food was evident in her eyes, expressions, and chewing movements.
With pouty lips and chubby cheeks, she looked like a little squirrel with its cheeks puffed out.
The two ate as if no one else was around, their happy demeanor making the female employee increasingly angry. Finally, she threw down a sentence, "I'm going to the security room and telling them to turn off the loudspeaker. You just wait!" With that, she stood up abruptly and stormed off.
This large office is about fifty square meters and has ten pairs of desks and chairs facing each other. There is no one at the other desks and chairs. The female employee is sitting in the innermost position. It is pitch black outside the window, and the desk lamp on the desk is as lonely and eerie as a will-o'-the-wisp. The world outside the slightly open door is like an abyss, so quiet that it is chilling.
The two quietly put down the snack bags, exchanged a glance, and Cheng Shuang quickly got up and went to stand guard by the door, while Liu Juan quickly searched inside and outside the workstation.
They weren't really sure what they were looking for, since they hadn't received much information during this period.
Cheng Shuang's return ticket was already a pleasant surprise, and because her pearl key was a small item, Liu Juan mostly searched for small items such as pens, work notebooks, and business cards.
As the sound of heels clicking echoed down the hallway, Liu Juan bit her lip, looking at the contents of the drawer with some resentment. She glanced at Cheng Shuang and saw the girl gesturing with her arm towards the computer in standby mode.
Liu Juan instinctively reached out to touch it.
Cheng Shuang reminded her softly but urgently, "The note on the screen..." Before she could finish speaking, Liu Juan froze for a moment, then her footsteps clattered closer. The two of them quickly moved back to their seats, holding up their snack bags and using the clattering sound of plastic to cover their panting.
The little girl raised an eyebrow at Liu Juan, who nodded with a pained expression.
Tsk, this is going to be difficult!
Such a large monitor, not a small alarm clock or a small pen, if it were to disappear, the female employee would immediately think of them. If the staff were to launch a search throughout the entire mall, it would be adding insult to injury.
