Chapter 136 Hey, I'm the Deputy Curator
The next day, because they were too tired the day before, Yu Xiaoluo and Yu Liang did not arrive on time. Yao Ziming did come, but he was locked out. So he went to visit the deputy director first, since it is important to maintain good relationships with colleagues.
Therefore, the first person to open the main building door was Bao Shuoyu, who arrived at work on time, even though he was half an hour late.
When he opened the store door, he was startled to see four girls standing inside. "Who are you? What are you doing here? Are you trying to steal something?"
Their heavy makeup was washed away by tears, and their voices were hoarse from crying.
Chu Jiaqi burst into tears as soon as she saw Bao Shuoyu, but her voice was as unpleasant as a broken gong, "Shuoyu, let us go, we can't move."
Who are you?
"It's me, Chu Jiaqi, Shuoyu, please save us!"
The other girls joined in, pleading, "Handsome guy, please save us, please!"
After a while, Bao Shuoyu finally recognized Chu Jiaqi. "Chu Jiaqi—what are you doing here? How did you get frozen in place?"
That kid Fu Yuliang definitely wouldn't do that, so there's only one reason: Yu Xiaoluo has kept them here. Yu Xiaoluo wouldn't do that for no reason.
She's always been easy to talk to and down-to-earth, unless—
Seeing their pitiful appearance, Bao Shuoyu did not immediately lift the spell on them. Instead, he called Yu Xiaoluo. It took a while for Yu Xiaoluo to answer the phone; she was still half asleep.
"Luo Luo, why are there four girls standing in our shop?"
"What—what girl?"
"There are four girls, one of whom is named Chu Jiaqi. You've put the immobilization charm on them, haven't you?"
Yu Xiaoluo suddenly woke up and sat up abruptly. "They're still inside."
"Of course, I didn't know they were inside. I only found out when I came over this morning."
A thought flashed through her mind: "Hurry up and untie them."
"But I won't either—"
Before he could finish speaking, the phone was hung up. Yu Xiaoluo wasn't going to go and unblock it now; if she did, she'd be scolded to death.
Little did they know that the girls were already at their physical limit. After all, they had been standing for almost 16 hours without sleeping and their throats were hoarse from crying.
Just then, a phone call came from behind, "Are you Mr. Bao?"
He turned his head and saw an old man in his fifties who was smiling like a flower. He guessed that the old man was a customer and said, "Do you have a reservation? The owner hasn't arrived yet. Please wait a moment."
Yao Ziming immediately realized that Bao Shuoyu had misunderstood him, and hurriedly said, "It was Director Yu who asked me to come and help her with her work. Sometimes she needs to rest, so she asks me to come. She has too much to do, so I'll help out as much as I can. She asked me to be in your group. You can call her and ask if you don't believe me."
Bao Shuoyu glanced at him and scoffed, "Tch, who wants to be in a group with an old geezer like you?"
He looked at the girls who seemed about to collapse but couldn't, and said to him, "They can't move, they can only talk. Can you release the immobilization spell?"
"Yes, yes." Yao Ziming grinned and walked towards the girls, tearing off the talismans from their foreheads. All four girls collapsed and fainted.
Bao Shuoyu stared in disbelief. It was that simple? No wonder Yu Xiaoluo had asked him to solve it.
So all the so-called metaphysical magic of those who claim to be on the right path is nothing more than this.
Yao Ziming was startled and quickly woke one of them. The girl's lips were cracked, and she weakly called out, "Water, water—"
He quickly brought water and gave it to the girls one by one.
"What's going on? How long are they going to have to stand here?" Even this old man felt sorry for the young girls, who were about the same age as his own daughter.
The girls had been standing all day, without eating, drinking, or sleeping, and were completely exhausted from being locked inside. Chu Jiaqi felt like killing Yu Xiaoluo, but she didn't even have the strength to curse her.
After they drank enough water, they felt a little better. Chu Jiaqi looked at Bao Shuoyu with a pitiful expression, tears welling up in her eyes, "Shuoyu, I want revenge for myself, I must—"
Before she could finish speaking, Bao Shuoyu looked at her with a mocking smile, then glanced at the other girls, "Don't cause trouble for Yu Xiaoluo, or you won't even know how you died."
Several girls shuddered. Apart from Chu Jiaqi, who hated Yu Xiaoluo, the others were probably genuinely scared and dared not have any other thoughts about her. They fled from the Yu Family Metaphysics Hall as if they were escaping.
Zhuo Fan happened to glance at the girls running out of the museum and was a little puzzled. These girls seemed to be the ones who caused trouble yesterday. Why were they still here? What happened to their faces? They were covered in bruises like pandas. What had they been through?
After they left, Yao Ziming introduced himself to Bao Shuoyu, "Brother Bao, my name is Yao Ziming. I'm new here, please bear with me."
Bao Shuoyu glanced at him sideways, thinking to himself, "This old man is really too polite."
However, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, so he nodded and hummed in agreement.
However, I was very unhappy about being in a group with him. Yu Liang has no skills at all, so why is he in a group with Luo Luo while I'm stuck with this old geezer?
No, I have to have a word with Yu Xiaoluo now that she's here.
She only feels more at ease when I'm by her side.
At this moment, a luxury car stopped at the entrance, and a couple rushed in. They glanced inside and said, "Hello, where is Master Yu? We have an appointment and we need to see Master Yu."
Yao Ziming said with a smile, "Master Yu hasn't arrived yet. I'm the deputy master, my surname is Yao. Please feel free to tell me what you need, my two guests."
Bao Shuyu stared at Yao Ziming in astonishment. When did this old man become the deputy curator? His skin is really thick.
Yao Ziming winked at him, and he instantly understood. The customers here were all here because of Yu Xiaoluo's reputation, but if Yu Xiaoluo didn't come, and there was no reputation to back them up, they definitely wouldn't be willing.
Making appointments to see the main hall is always a hassle. If everyone came to see Master Yu, how could that little girl possibly handle being bothered like this every day?
So he shut up and stopped talking.
The couple exchanged glances. Considering his age, he seemed more reliable than the young girl Yu Xiaoluo, and as the deputy head of the museum, he should be quite capable. So they had no objections and told him about the troubles they had encountered.
Yao Ziming listened attentively, subtly hinting to Bao Shuoyu. It took him a while to realize that the old man was implying he should pour tea for the guest. But Yao Ziming was—
After holding back for a while, Bao Shuoyu obediently made a cup of tea for each of the three of them.
