At six o'clock on Friday afternoon, Bai Jin came out of the laboratory and planned to go home for the weekend.
There are too many assignments this semester and she hasn't had a rest for several weeks. She plans to stay in bed all the time after returning home and sleep for two days and two nights.
At this time, the cell phone rang.
Bai Jin saw the caller ID—his cousin Bai Jing.
The two haven't seen each other for a while. Based on past experience, it is definitely not a good thing, but they can't ignore it.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
"Do you have any other plans tomorrow?" Bai Jing asked straight to the point.
When Bai Jin heard the tune, he knew something was going to happen and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, if you have something to say, just tell me."
Bai Jing was not polite: "I have to go out for a consultation tomorrow. If you are free, come and help me."
Bai Jin still wanted to struggle: "Brother, please go find Brother Zheng and the others. I am weak and can't help much."
She knew her cousin too well. When he asked his brothers and sisters for help, most of the time they were doing private clinics and needed a helper to carry boxes and equipment.
Bai Jing: "A Zheng is going, but we are still missing a girl. This time we are doing a physical examination for employees of a private company, so we don't need you to move the equipment."
Bai Jin couldn't help but feel curious. What kind of company could allow Big Brother to provide door-to-door service for employee physical examinations
Having said that, she couldn't refuse anymore and was once again forced to say goodbye to her happy weekend plans.
Bai Jing seemed to be able to sense her resentment and consoled her, "There aren't many people there, so it won't be busy all day. I'll talk to the owner and take you two to a good place. I guarantee it will open your eyes."
Bai Jin has become immune to the empty promises of his family members, and said lazily, "No need to broaden your horizons, just get off work early. I still hope to have a day off."
At seven o'clock the next morning, Bai Jin and Bai Zheng, with sleepy eyes, met their cousin, drove the family medical car all the way to the suburbs, and turned into a winding road.
The medical vehicle stopped in the middle of the street. Bai Jin got out first. He looked up and saw several top luxury cars parked on an old parking lot not far away. He looked confused.
I don’t know what kind of fake company is this in the middle of nowhere. The boss drives such a luxury car, but the company’s location is not picky at all.
Bai Jin paused and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Between several luxury cars, there were actually two small electric scooters squeezed side by side.
This must be the employees' means of transportation. It looks really funny, like a poor little guy shivering in fear surrounded by big guys.
Bai Zheng also got out of the car and noticed that the signs on both sides of the street all started with the word "Lu Yao". He asked loudly: "Brother, are all the stores on this street opened by the same person?"
Bai Jing got out of the car, went around to the back to open the door, and nodded: "You guys move the equipment down first, I'll go find the owner."
Bai Jin muttered in a low voice: "They clearly said that they didn't want us to move the equipment, but sure enough, we're here to do the hard labor again."
Bai Zheng is two years older than Bai Jin. He is the son of Bai Jin's second uncle and is also a medical student. After listening to his sister's mumbling, he smiled and said, "Stand aside, I'll move it."
Although he complained, Bai Jin was still embarrassed to let Bai Zheng do things alone. He stood under the car to receive the equipment, then turned around and put it under the eaves nearby.
"Ajin, have you had any contact with anyone from the Ji family recently?" Bai Zheng suddenly asked.
Bai Jin shook his head, "I'm very busy with classes, and there's nothing to talk about."
Bai Zheng: "I heard that something seems to have happened within the Ji family."
Bai Jin became interested: "What's the matter?"
The Ji and Bai families are old friends, but in the last hundred years, the Ji family has been the only one favored by the gods and has enjoyed immense prosperity.
The status of the Bai family gradually became weaker than that of the Ji family, but it was still better than other families that were gradually disappearing.
Half a year ago, the god died unexpectedly, and the previous god's messenger of the Ji family gradually moved away from the center of the family, and the relationship between the Ji and Bai families seemed to be alienated.
Bai Jin had indeed not contacted those "good sisters" for a long time.
Bai Zheng thought about it and said as calmly as possible: "Do you still remember Ji Zhixin?"
Bai Jin nodded.
Five years ago, he was the most successful young master in the social circle, but unfortunately he had bad luck.
"Recently, Ji Zhixun complained to me many times, saying that Ji Zhixin listened to the lobbying of the former God's Messenger and came to Yaoguang City. I don't know where he found a job in a fake company, and every day he is out there arguing with people for small contracts worth one or two million. Now there are rumors that the Ji family's business has problems and the capital chain has been cut off." Bai Zheng said excitedly, "Ji Zhixun also said that her cousin used to be strong-willed, but after his leg injury, he gradually lost his spirit and now he is embarrassing the family."
“…” There was deathly silence behind me.
Bai Zheng didn't notice and wanted to continue speaking.
"Cough cough." Bai Jing coughed heavily twice.
Bai Zheng was stunned and turned around, only to see a strange middle-aged man and a young girl standing next to his cousin, feeling a little embarrassed.
I wonder how much they heard
He is not usually so talkative, he just suddenly thought of this and started chatting.
To ease the awkward atmosphere, Bai Zheng smiled and winked at Bai Jing: "Brother, this is the boss and the assistant lady, right?"
"… "
Assistant Miss Lu Yao and former God-Messenger Pheasant Company boss Ji Feiming remained silent.
Bai Zheng is not a fool. He noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange. "Did I say something wrong?"
Bai Jing raised his hand to cover his forehead, feeling so embarrassed.

Lu Yao had informed them in advance that the physical examination would start at the nail salon and would only be conducted on human clerks.
Even if it's only for one day, Bai Zheng and Bai Jin need to sign a confidentiality agreement.
The two were not very happy about it, and after being severely scolded by Bai Jing, they signed reluctantly.
The nail salon and blind box store progressed quickly. In the nail salon, only Eugenia needed a physical examination, while the others stayed in the laboratory and did not come out. The blind box store was relatively modern, so Bai Zheng and Bai Jin gave the clerk a basic check and came out without noticing anything wrong.
When they arrived at the fourth store, Lu Yao asked Zhou Su and Ji Zhixin to come out for a physical examination, and Ji Feiming also went with them.
Seeing Ji Zhixin coming out of the furry shop in a wheelchair, Bai Zheng and Bai Jin became nervous.
Bai Zheng's eyes widened, and he pointed at Ji Zhixin tremblingly, "You, you, you... why are you here?"
Ji Zhixin had been locked up at home for several years. Bai Zheng was a few years younger than him, and they had never been in the same circle before. He had no impression of him at all: "I work here. Excuse me, who are you?"
Bai Zheng took a deep breath and slowly moved his eyes to look at Lu Yao and Ji Feiming who were standing upright.
The two of them pursed their lips and smiled at him gently.
Bai Zheng almost couldn't breathe and was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
… No wonder the atmosphere was so weird just now.
Lu Yao saw that it was getting late, and the clerk in the shopping street knew how to do the physical examination. He was worried that something might happen in the cinema, so he said, "After the physical examination here, Xiao Ji will take them to the cinema. I'll go over first."
Bai Zheng looked at Ji Feiming and responded, his eyes widened again, "She, she, she... who is she?"
Ji Feiming: "Our boss."
Bai Zheng: “…”
Today I have lost both my dignity and face.
At this time, he didn't know that the middle-aged man in front of him was the former messenger of God.
Bai Jin silently moved two steps to the side, further away from Bai Zheng, but fortunately he didn't say much.
Brother Zheng is so miserable, but I really want to laugh.
Hahahaha.

A small warehouse was built into the lounge of the cinema. Lu Yao customized two sturdy wooden shelves from an old carpenter in Alexandria to store popcorn ingredients, sugar, oil, instant noodles and some sundries. He also bought a new refrigerator to store opened sausages and ice cubes.
Once hot dogs and orange juice were launched, they quickly became popular among the people, especially the hot dogs. Customers lining up often bought several at a time.
In less than two days, hot dogs became popular on Song'an Street. Many people who didn't watch the movie also went to the cinema to buy hot dogs when there were fewer people. One machine couldn't roast enough hot dogs, so Lu Yao had to buy another one.
After the lunch rush, the hot dogs were sold out and Gouzi went to the warehouse to get more.
He opened the carton and found it empty. He couldn't help but frown.
Hot dogs are very popular recently. We easily sell five or six bags of super large packages of forty hot dogs every day.
I just opened a new box yesterday afternoon, and there are ten bags in the box.
He clearly remembered that he took three bags, but had half a bag left because he didn't sell them all. This morning, he took three new bags along with the remaining half bag.
Why is the box empty
Gouzi searched everywhere but couldn't find the lost hot dogs. Instead, he discovered that not only was the hot dog inventory wrong, but the quantities of several items, such as corn kernels, sugar, juice powder, instant noodles, etc., were also different from what he remembered.
The warehouse has a door with a hasp on it, and it is usually not locked.
The shopkeeper said there was nothing valuable and that only the staff could enter the lounge, so it didn't need to be locked.
Gouzi was afraid that he had made a mistake, so he went outside and got the account book he usually used for accounting and compared them one by one.
Four bags of hot dogs were missing, and a small amount of other miscellaneous items were also missing.
Gou Zi knew that there was a thief in the house, but the shopkeeper was away on business, so he had to go find Fu Chi.
"Second Shopkeeper," Gou Zila Fuchi arrived at the corner and whispered, "I found that the inventory in the warehouse is wrong."
Fu Chi raised an eyebrow, "What's going on?"
Gouzi told the story in a panic.
After listening to this, Fu Chi did not react much, and only said: "I know, you go first."
Gouzi returned to the warehouse anxiously and opened another box of hot dogs.
He is the one who goes in and out of the warehouse the most on weekdays. If this matter is investigated, it will be the most disadvantageous to him. I don’t know if the young and second shopkeepers have any way to catch the real thief.
At the ticket check-in counter, Kuba's ears moved, he glanced at the dog, and then quickly moved away.
The three newcomers stood behind Kuba and noticed Gou Zi's move to talk to Fu Chi, but they didn't know what the two said.
Ye Xiao stood at the door, his eyes covered with a black veil, his posture upright, and he said nothing.
When Lu Yao was not around, this person was like a piece of wood and rarely responded.
Lu Yao just happened to be coming from the shopping street and noticed that Fu Chi's face looked a little strange. "What happened?"
Fu Chi shook his head, "Nothing serious. How was the physical examination?"
Lu Yao: "I'm at the furry shop right now, I'm coming over."
