"Sister, what should I do?" Cheng Shuang tugged at the hem of the female employee's uniform, tilted her head back, and blinked her eyes cutely. "I need to go find Mom and Dad right away. They won't be angry, but they will cut off my allowance!"
"Is it that serious?" The female employee was startled. In its eyes, what did it matter if its parents were angry? It was the loss of its allowance that was truly deadly.
A typical vagabond version of being a slave to money!
It looked at this and that, its faceless face wrinkled into a bun, as if it had encountered an extremely difficult problem to choose between.
It sighed and tentatively asked Liu Juan, "Why don't we accompany this child to find her parents first?"
"And then?" Liu Juan frowned and sneered, "Watch her parents take you shopping?"
At that moment, the money-obsessed female employee felt a mixture of embarrassment and secret delight.
It's a bit inappropriate, hahaha...
It turned to look at Cheng Shuang, and the little girl cried out, "My allowance!"
The female employee... wanted to split herself apart for the first time. Why should she have to make a choice? Can't adults choose between two options?
Finally, it reached out its wicked hand to Cheng Shuang, its words initially stumbling but becoming more fluent as it spoke, "Look at this watch, can you pay for it and I'll go buy it myself?" It was in great pain, "Forget about the clothes, you can have the old watch!"
The female employee showed her wrist, displaying a red waterproof digital watch. It was a cool design, but the strap was worn, indicating that it had been worn for a long time.
It's a brand of watch similar to the current Caesars watch. Cheng Shuang is quite familiar with it; several classmates like to wear this model, and the price ranges from a few hundred to over a thousand yuan.
She remembered that one year on her deskmate's birthday, his parents gave him a new model that cost around 1,500 yuan.
The little girl's eyes lit up. "Sister, is your watch worth several hundred?"
The female employee hid her arms behind her back, as if to cover up the guilt in her voice, "No, no, it cost 1200 when I bought it!"
Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "Isn't 1,500 enough for the new model?"
With the upgraded 500 points, those ten or twenty points can be exchanged for a return ticket and a peaceful life, it's worth it!
"Could you hurry up? My friend is waiting for me!"
Liu Juan urged impatiently, and the female employee, who had been hesitant and wanted to ask for more money for the watch, immediately nodded decisively, "Okay!"
Fearing that Cheng Shuang might regret it, he quickly untied the watch and handed it to her.
The young girl took the money with one hand and handed it over with the other. She kicked the old watch and left the corridor, heading straight for the lobby. From afar, you could still hear the female employee cheerfully asking Liu Juan what type of shop she wanted to rent.
The lobby was deserted. She stood at the elevator entrance, reaching out as if to press the button, when she heard the security guard's shrill voice calling from afar, "Little girl, what are you doing?"
Cheng Shuang turned around, her brows relaxed, and she naturally tilted her head to feign innocence, "I've been waiting for you here!"
"Alright, let's go shopping!" Du Lanshan interrupted loudly. Four men, reeking of cigarette smoke, appeared behind the security guard. Their eyes lingered on the elevator doors, and they shook their heads almost imperceptibly at Cheng Shuang.
Cheng Shuang knew she had guessed correctly. The reason the security guard allowed her to smoke in the stairwell was because the elevator buttons could be seen from a certain angle through the stairwell window.
Therefore, going up to the second floor is not feasible for the time being.
She obediently reached out her hand, letting Du Jun hold her, and even waved to the security guard in a particularly cute way.
The security guard watched silently as the five people walked into the mall, his expression unreadable, like a cold, lifeless statue.
“The security guards were carrying cigarettes, lighters, and stun guns,” Sun Han said softly.
"We tried them one by one, but none of them were return tickets," Du Lushui said, somewhat frustrated.
Du Jun cleared his throat; he didn't speak because he was choked by the smoke.
Du Lanshan looked at him and laughed, "Young man, you're all grown up now. It's time to learn to smoke a cigarette, drink a glass of wine, and find a woman..."
Du Lushui coughed loudly, interrupting this simpleton's lewd talk that went on regardless of the context.
Du Lanshan scratched his head, not knowing where he had gone wrong, but seeing his brother and Sun Han looking embarrassed, he realized he had uttered something strange. He gave Cheng Shuang an awkward smile, seemingly ignoring the main character of the conversation, Du Jun.
Du Jun: Ha, what a filthy adult world!
Du Lanshan: No, it's your brains that are filthy!
The five of them stopped on the first floor of the shopping mall and waited for Liu Juan in a corner. Cheng Shuang quietly recounted what had happened, emphasizing the excuse of getting separated from her parents and meeting up at the childcare center. It would be bad if she accidentally bumped into the female employee and let it slip.
The four men couldn't help but give a thumbs up; these two girls were incredibly lucky!
“I don’t think we need to go to the other administrative departments in the shopping mall,” Sun Han analyzed. “The return tickets are too scattered, and it’s unlikely that there are two return tickets for the same type of department.”
"So, the number of return tickets and the ratio of maintainers might be quite different?" Du Lushui immediately realized. He rubbed his hands together, looked at Cheng Shuang and Sun Han, his eyes full of anxiety. "You haven't been to the haunted house, why don't you give it a try? We'll go to the arcade later."
Du Lushui is always like this; she loses some composure when she gets anxious. Cheng Shuang and Sun Han don't mind. Cheng Shuang said, "It's just right that I can't stay here. If Sister Juan doesn't get rid of that female employee, and it comes out, I'll have to take it to buy clothes."
Sun Han nodded, "Let's go to the haunted house now."
Du Jun took a sip of water, his clear voice slightly hoarse, "The minimum is five items. If I pass all ten items, will the shopping voucher become a return ticket?"
The group was stunned. Sun Han chimed in, "It's not impossible."
