Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know why she was so sure.
It was just that she had gone to the cram school the day before to buy bubble water and snacks, and the uncle at the door was the one guarding the store at that time.
Someone asked why the owner was not at home, and the uncle replied, "The owner is out for something."
She didn't think much of it at the time, but the timing was perfect, just like remediating her childhood memories.
If not the shop owner, who else would do this for her
There is no one else.
Xu Xiaoxiao was so excited that her cheeks turned red and she was panting from running.
Lu Yao is posting a recruitment notice in front of the store. The sales of bubble water and good mood glutinous rice balls have been very good recently, and customers are coming in an endless stream.
She still felt uneasy about always asking Ji Feiming to deliver the goods before coming to look after the store, so she planned to hire an employee to look after the store.
Hearing a series of clear footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw Xu Xiaoxiao with sparkling eyes. She was a little surprised: "What's wrong? Did you forget something in the store?"
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously, strode forward and hugged the shop owner tightly, "I saw the news. Thank you, Lu Yao."
Lu Yao hugged her back, without denying or boasting, and just said: "Xu Xiaoxiao, you can go straight ahead in the future. Don't worry, Alfred and I will always support you."
Xu Xiaoxiao's heart seemed to be roasted on charcoal fire, melting into a pool of water. She rubbed it hard on the shop owner's shoulder before standing up, her eyes bright and energetic: "Okay, I will try my best."
After saying that, she tilted her head to look at the door, and noticed what the owner was posting. She was a little surprised: "Are you hiring in the store?"
Lu Yao nodded: "Well, Xiao Ji has other things to do and can't always help me look after the store. I plan to hire a clerk to look after the store, and I may also need to hire a tutor in the future. However, there are not many students coming for tutoring at the moment, and with Alfred here, it's barely enough."
Xu Xiaoxiao stood in front of the glass door, read the recruitment conditions carefully, and asked directly: "Owner, do you think I can do this?"
She was actually a little nervous. She wanted to work as a clerk right after finishing her tutoring, which seemed a bit like a threat.
However, Xu Xiaoxiao had already planned to quit her current job, but it was not easy for her to find a suitable job given her situation.
Surprisingly, she met all the recruitment requirements of the cram school - the owner did not require the clerk to have a high degree of education or extraordinary abilities, but only required the clerk to be generous, careful, and patient, and to have a generous salary and benefits.
Xu Xiaoxiao also had a little idea - if she worked in a tutorial center, maybe she would have the opportunity to help others, just like the store owner and teacher Alfred.
Lu Yao looked her over and nodded, "Of course, but does your previous job matter?"
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said somewhat embarrassedly: "I used to work in a shopping mall, but I wasn't a formal employee there. It doesn't matter if I don't do it anymore."
Lu Yao thought about it and guessed: "Could it be... a proxy?"
It has a similar meaning to wine-touts and meal-touts.
Xu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and nodded, took a deep breath, and whispered, "I didn't go to college, and my superpowers are not practical. I can hardly find a formal job, so I can only find ways to bring customers. In fact, I have long been tired of those complicated interpersonal relationships, but I really can't find any other way out. Shop owner, if I can come to the store, I will definitely work hard."
Lu Yao understood. No wonder she always brought a different male companion. "Okay, you're hired. But employees who come to the store usually have a seven-day probation period. If there are no problems after seven days, the contract will be formally signed."
Lu Yao brought Xu Xiaoxiao back to the store and introduced her to Ji Feiming. After the two sides got to know each other, Ji Feiming began to hand over the work to Xu Xiaoxiao.
At the same time, the incident that occurred in the No. 4 Town of Cat Meat Pad in Tortoise Shell City attracted a lot of attention.
All the researchers in the Super Energy Research Institute were watching this news, and Zheng Siyao also noticed it.
She read the report carefully and checked a lot of information, and suddenly thought of Lu Yao.
She and An Yan went to Daimao City to find a superpower sample, but unfortunately when they arrived, the other party was no longer in that area.
As the owner of a cram school, why did Lu Yao go to Daimao City at that time
Could she have gone to Cat Pad Town No. 4
Zheng Siyao felt that she was thinking too much, but she couldn't help but continue thinking.
A colleague handed Zheng Siyao a cup of coffee and sat down opposite her: "What's wrong? I saw you in a daze several times today. Did something happen during this business trip with An Yan?"
There was a gossipy gleam in the female colleague's eyes.
An Yan is good-looking, but a little cold. He is different from most of the academic researchers in the institute. Especially when testing the ability of the experimental subjects, his overwhelming strength is hard not to attract attention. Many female researchers will go to watch when they have time.
It’s not that I really have any particular thoughts about this, but after a boring day at work, it’s really refreshing to look at a beauty with a “violent” aura.
Zheng Siyao was originally thinking about Lu Yao, but her expression froze when her female colleague mentioned it.
While on a business trip, she did discover a little secret of An Yan.
But that is An Yan's personal privacy and cannot be discussed casually.
The female colleague asked casually, and seeing her reaction, she was a little surprised: "Is there really something wrong? You..."
Zheng Siyao waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no. By the way, Xiaomei, have you heard of the Childhood Tuition Center?"
Xiaomei grabbed Zheng Siyao's hand and shook her head, "Hey, don't change the subject. What happened between you and An Yan?"
Zheng Siyao shook her head with a mask of pain: "No, there is really nothing going on between me and Professor An. I want to tell you something serious. On the way to Daimao City, we met someone who was a little special."
Zheng Siyao told Xiaomei about her encounter with Lu Yao.
Xiaomei held the coffee cup in both hands, and her eyes changed slightly, "Can't you hear her voice?"
Zheng Siyao nodded: "We have met twice. I have checked my abilities and there is nothing abnormal, but I just can't catch her voice."
Xiaomei: "Let's not talk about the store she told you about. Just the fact that 'you can't hear her heartbeat' is something you should pay attention to. How about I go with you after get off work?"
During lunch break, the two sat at a long table in the corner of the rest area, not noticing that there was someone sitting behind them.
The man suddenly turned sideways and said, "Add me in."
Xiaomei and Zheng Siyao turned their heads at the same time.
Xiaomei recognized the boy and her face lit up: "Brother Du, why are you here?"
Du Haoling and Xiaomei are alumni, and Du Haoling and Xiaomei are in the same class.
However, after graduation, Du Haoling entered the First Hospital, while Xiaomei graduated a year later and came to the research institute.
The First Hospital and the Super Energy Research Institute have many cooperative research projects. People from the institute sometimes go to the hospital to receive special samples, and people from both sides often visit each other.
Du Haoling had a file bag at hand and said calmly, "I'm here for the Childhood Tuition Center as well."
Zheng Siyao had a bad feeling based on her previous work experience. "Is there something wrong with the Childhood Tuition Center?"
Du Hao Ling frowned slightly and shook his head gently: "No flaws. Our hospital received a lot of samples of bubble water and snacks from the cram school, and the test results showed no problems. But the products in that store do have the special effects advertised, and there are no side effects."
Zheng Siyao slowly put her mind at ease: "Then why did Dr. Du go to the cram school?"
Du Haoling: "When you guys mentioned the shop owner just now, I couldn't help but become curious about her. Also, I think it would be best for the research institute to contact her as soon as possible and put her abilities on record."
The emergence of super powers has established a new order for the world, but it has also brought a lot of instability and new social problems, such as many criminal activities initiated by super powers.
The purpose of the Super Power Research Institute is to collect and study as many different super powers as possible, to understand the generation, characteristics, upper limits, and possible impacts of super powers, to strive to find suitable development directions for super powers of different systems, to curb crimes caused by super powers, and to maintain the stability of the super power society.
Zheng Siyao didn't quite understand Du Haoling's thoughts, "Do you think the shop owner's abilities are dangerous?"
Du Haoling shook his head: "I don't know, I just think it might be a very rare and special ability. To know the details, I still need to meet the person in person first."
-
On the second floor of a fast food restaurant near No. 66 Sanhua City.
Hu Jiao sat in the corner, with his phone propped up in front of him facing the nearby pedestrian bridge, and dense messages quickly flashed across the corner of the screen.
[Is that the legendary holy land of death? ]
[I heard that several people go there every week. ]
[But it doesn't look special. Is it too far away? Can Pepper climb up and take a look? ]
[Not possible recently, no one will die.]
[What's going on? This is really boring. ]
[Just yesterday, three office workers went up, but they didn’t land. Experts said they were lucky to be caught by an invisible energy net and survived. They are now receiving psychological treatment.]
[Psychotherapy is useless! Pepper's trip was in vain, it's meaningless. ]
[Since we are in Sanhua Market, why not go to the Childhood Tuition Center? The store is located under the pedestrian overpass. ]
[I've heard of that store, too. A few days ago, a kid next door ran away from home, and I heard his mother say she was sending him to that store for tutoring.]
[Will this work?]
[Who knows? Just for psychological comfort. Otherwise, he will be sent to a correctional institution.]
[Are you interested, Pepper? The bubble water and glutinous rice cakes in that store are really magical, and the experience is very strong.]
Pepper finished his Coke, picked up the phone stand, stood up, and slowly walked downstairs, his voice soft and hoarse: "Since you want to see it, go to that store first. I'll take you to climb the overpass in the evening."
