Qi Jiu took off her sunglasses and tucked them into her collar, her dark eyes completely calm. "The things in the sales department aren't as good as what you have here."
To most people, the cars displayed in the sales department are gleaming and shiny, but few know that the real treasures are in the repair shop.
"Oh? Little sister, you're quite knowledgeable? What treasure are you looking for, little sister? Or who are you looking for? Let me take a look for you! Oh my!"
Before the repairman could finish speaking, he was lightly tapped on the head.
"Who are you calling 'sister'?" Turning around, one of the men was a repairman with dyed yellow hair. Judging by his demeanor, he was definitely the boss here.
His striking hair color might make it easy to overlook his appearance. Actually, this blond guy isn't bad-looking; he's rather handsome, even a bit scholarly, but that's only if you ignore the muscles in his arms.
Yellow Hair: "..."
"elder brother?"
The blond-haired man took off his gloves and patted him on the head. "Who are you calling 'little sister'? Call me 'sister' next time you see me!" In the blink of an eye, his attitude changed completely. "Sister Qi, you've arrived."
The girl nodded.
The repairman next to him: "??"
"Don't call her brother, call her sister? Doesn't that make her sound old? This girl looks only 17 or 18."
The blond-haired man glared at her, "Just call me that when I tell you to! Stop with the nonsense!" In the blink of an eye, he smiled obsequiously at Qi Jiu, "Sister, please come with me."
Qi Jiu nodded at him, then followed him, leaving the repairman standing there dumbfounded, along with the other workers who dared not approach.
"Sister, why did you come all by yourself? If you want to pick up the car, just give me a call and I'll deliver it to you."
Lin Yan smiled shyly, rubbing the back of his neck with his large hand, looking completely innocent. But who knows what kind of person he really is behind the scenes?
The girl shook her head. "I had nothing to do, so I came to take a look. As for you, is your first time in China going well?"
"Adapt, sister, you don't know, China is a society ruled by law, much safer than where we usually live."
Lin Yan grinned, revealing his bright white teeth. With China's legal system here, he no longer needed to live in constant fear like before. At least mentally and physically, he felt much more relaxed.
"That's good. Are both cars I requested ready?"
Qi Jiu looked around as if she were on a tour. This place was like Lin Yan's private workshop; everything, from the cars to the parts, was top-quality.
It must have taken a lot of effort to transport it here.
"Of course!" Lin Yan pulled out a remote control from somewhere, and with a 'beep' sound, the door in front of him opened as if by a mechanism.
As time passed, the contents inside came into view. Qi Jiu looked at the car inside and nodded in satisfaction.
"This one will do. Send the black one to the Shen family manor another day."
Lin Yan stared, stunned, at the person turning to leave. "Sis, aren't you leaving now?" We've already come all this way, are you just going to leave already?
No, I came by car.
When the topic turned to driving, Lin Yan froze. "Sis, that black BMW at the entrance isn't yours, is it?"
When did she start liking such conventional cars? Back in the organization, her cars only had one label: flamboyant.
"I need to borrow it temporarily. Please send the car to me as soon as possible."
Back at the Shen family manor, Qi Jiu shut herself in and didn't come out, seemingly busy with something. Liu Li, seeing her hurried manner, didn't dare to disturb her until Shen Sisi returned.
The table was laden with delicious food, but for some reason, Chen Sisi didn't seem to have any interest in it.
Qi Jiu glanced at her, her mouth still moving.
"Sisi, is there something you want to say? Or have you encountered some difficulties?"
Shen Ting and Liu Li looked at Qi Jiu, who dared to break the awkwardness at the table, with gratitude in their eyes.
They originally wanted to ask, but they were afraid of saying something offensive, so they didn't dare.
Qi Jiu, noticing the two grateful gazes, was speechless.
No problem, no problem, keep it low-key, keep it low-key...
Perhaps because she was suddenly called upon, Chen Sisi jolted awake, then her face fell. "Qiqi, Qin Yao's birthday is coming up soon."
"uh-huh?"
Qi Jiu put down her chopsticks and looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
"Today, Qin Yao invited me to class in front of many classmates, and... she also invited you. With so many people watching, I didn't know how to answer her, so I didn't say anything. But many classmates are talking about it..."
With so many people watching, it's not good to refuse, but it's also not good to make decisions for others without their consent.
The little girl picked up her chopsticks, placed a piece of braised pork in Chen Sisi's bowl, and said, "I thought it was no big deal, so I agreed."
"But you two were arguing and even got physical at the parent-teacher conference last time. Qin Yao will definitely be inviting her own relatives and friends to this birthday party. What if they bully you?"
"Parent-teacher meeting? What parent-teacher meeting? Qiqi, did you get into a fight with someone? And even hit them? Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Shen Ting and Liu Li's attention was clearly not on the birthday party; compared to the birthday party, the arguing and fighting seemed to be more serious.
With a 'snap', the two of them simultaneously put down their chopsticks, scanning Qi Jiu from top to bottom like a scanner.
"I'm fine. This happened a few days ago, so don't worry."
"Then Qin Yao..." Liu Li still seemed a little worried. Having stayed in City A for so long, she had heard a lot of rumors about Qin Yao's personality.
“Yes, Qin Yao seems to have the Qi family backing her.” Shen Ting’s expression also looked rather grim.
Qi Jiu didn't seem to care much. "It's alright. I know what I'm doing, even if the Qi family doesn't clean up her mess. Don't worry."
The girl's cheerful smile and sweet words completely charmed Shen Ting and Liu Li, putting them at ease.
"Speaking of birthday parties, Qiqi, is it your birthday too?"
"Huh?" Qi Jiu was taken aback.
As my mind raced, I suddenly remembered that my birthday, as recorded on my orphanage file, was in a few days.
As for her real birthday, she had long forgotten it; she had lived for almost 20 years and had never celebrated it.
"Oh right, I was so busy I forgot, it should be almost here."
On Saturday, Chen Sisi stared in disbelief at Qi Jiu, whose outfit was completely different from her own. "Qi Qi, you're going to wear this?"
Although the Qin family is not a prominent family in City A, the Qi family behind them is a different story.
Presumably, many prominent figures from City A will be attending this birthday banquet. Although they are there because of the Qi family, everyone is dressed to the best of their ability.
Qi Jiu glanced at her clothes and laughed, "What's wrong with work clothes? I think they look pretty good."
It's also quite convenient for fighting and tearing each other apart.
Chen Sisi was at a loss for words, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
