Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 241: The sixth store

Views:

The day before yesterday, the Childhood Tuition Center had a small upgrade.

Due to the increase in the number of store employees, the glass tea room outside has been in short supply recently. Lu Yao used popularity to expand the space, added two tea rooms on the other side behind the shelves, and opened a new employee lounge on the side of the cram school.

The lounge is equipped with sofas, a glass coffee table, a refrigerator, a computer, and an employee belongings locker against the wall at the entrance. There is also a tea room and bathroom at the end.

Surveillance cameras are installed at the front store and the entrance, and the backstage is set up in the lounge.

Pepper fell into a long silence after the second tutoring session.

Seeing that he was distracted, Lu Yao did not continue to persuade him and let him think on his own.

Near noon, Ji Feiming brought lunch, and Lu Yao asked Xu Xiaoxiao, Bai Yi and Jiao Huo to eat together in the lounge.

The meal is a box lunch, one for each person, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, one soup and one rice, and a dessert after the meal.

Bai Yi opened the lunch box and was greeted by a fragrant aroma. In the corner of the box lay two shiny deep-sea prawns. He was a little surprised, but after taking a bite, he was even more amazed.

"Is the food like this in our store every day?" Bai Yi couldn't help but ask.

The shrimps are fresh and cooked to perfection. They taste crispy, springy and sweet, and all the fatigue in the body is cured.

Although Bai Yi is a branch of the Bai family, his family background cannot be that bad. He must be familiar with high-end seafood and customized meals, if not eat them every day.

She had been to many places and even studied abroad for four years. She was not an uninformed person, but she was still shocked by the luxurious and delicious lunch in the shopping street.

Xu Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and nodded frantically, "I understand, I understand. When the owner first said that the store provides brunch, I thought at most everyone would order takeout. I never thought that Uncle Ming would deliver meals every day. Not only are the ingredients luxurious, but they are also delicious."

And the meal expenses were all paid by the owner.

For Xu Xiaoxiao, this job seems to be similar in nature to her previous job, but the pay is very different.

At this point, Xu Xiaoxiao moved closer to Bai Yi, with stars in her eyes, and whispered, "Today's main course is seafood, and in a few days it will be replaced with small steaks. The meat is very special, and it can be said to be the most delicious meat I have ever eaten."

Xu Xiaoxiao was talking about the monster meat purchased from the Alexandria continent.

Bai Yi couldn't help but look forward to hearing this, and asked in a low voice: "Do the dishes change every day?"

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Breakfast and lunch will change, but they are all delicious."

Bai Yi had dinner at home this morning before coming here. He had not yet had breakfast in the restaurant, which he felt very regretful about.

Jiao Huo was sitting opposite him. He originally had a gloomy look on his face, but after taking a few bites of rice and drinking a few sips of soup, the gloom between his brows dissipated a little.

The food at the tutorial center is really delicious.

In fact, the cafeteria of the Super Energy Research Institute is also very luxurious, and the meals provided are nutritious and delicious, but it seems that it cannot compare with the cram school.

After lunch, Hu Jiao walked out of the cram school and prepared to go back to the research institute.

Lu Yao followed behind him: "I need to adjust the tutoring schedule. Your next tutoring time will be adjusted to three days later."

Pepper nodded and said nothing.

In his heart he had actually accepted his fate, but facing the serious look on the shop owner's face, he just couldn't bring himself to say "forget it".

When the two came out, Du Haoling was standing at the entrance of the cram school, looking up at the recruitment notice on the glass door.

Lu Yao stood at the door: "Mr. Du, have you had lunch?"

Du Haoling took a step back to make way for Jiao Huo and nodded to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao watched Hu Jiao walk slowly to the intersection, took a taxi and left, then retracted his gaze: "Mr. Du, please."

Du Haoling's gaze fell on the back of the girl in front of him, and his eyes were dark.

He contacted Zheng Siyao and Xiaomei, and they both spoke highly of their childhood tutoring experiences, which made him feel restless.

Bai Yi heard the sound, came out of the lounge, saw Lu Yao leading the guests in, and immediately came out with a notebook.

There is an hour and a half break at noon, but today is a bit busy, and Lu Yao has to go out later, so he plans to finish Du Haoling's tutoring as soon as possible.

Du Haoling’s tutoring goal is somewhat different from that of previous tutors. After Lu Yao sat down, he introduced Bai Yi to him.

Du Haoling and Bai Yi exchanged a few pleasantries and then got straight to the point.

Du Haoling sat at one side of the round table and looked deeply at the girl opposite him. "Shopkeeper, are you sure?"

Lu Yao was concentrating on reading Du Haoling's information and seemed not to hear anything.

Bai Yi leaned slightly towards Lu Yao and saw Du Haoling's childhood test form. He saw the column of target with clear and elegant handwriting. His pupils shrank slightly for a moment and then he looked up at Du Haoling.

At this time, Lu Yao also looked up from the information and nodded, "Mr. Du, you should know that we are just a cram school, aiming to help those in need make up for their childhood deficiencies. Your goal is indeed a bit embarrassing."

She had read Du Haoling's information a long time ago and originally wanted to refuse directly. But after consideration, she decided to meet Du Haoling again before making a decision.

Du Haoling's eyes were bitter, and his knuckles unconsciously rubbed the edge of the glass table. "This is the biggest regret in my life."

Du Huoling was born into a family of scholars with a profound background. His family traditions were upright and his upbringing was excellent.

He was a child of destiny. He lived to the age of twenty-four and had a smooth life with almost no major setbacks.

The regret he wanted to make up for was not caused by psychological trauma, but it was also one of the most powerless moments in his childhood.

Lu Yao tapped the information in front of him. The registration had been accepted. He would at least go back and take a look at the situation before making a judgment.

After a moment, she made a decision and looked up at the man opposite her: "Let me be clear, I cannot guarantee that I can achieve your desired goal."

Du Haoling naturally understood what the shop owner meant and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

Lu Yao tilted his head to look at Bai Yi: "You look very tired after coming out this morning, are you still going this afternoon?"

Bai Yi closed his notebook and was eager to try: "Shopkeeper, I want to go. After lunch, I don't feel so tired anymore."

What she said was true. A delicious meal really helped to relieve most of her fatigue, and she was also very interested in this tutoring session.

Lu Yao nodded, glanced at Du Haoling, and explained: "Depending on the complexity of the incident, we may just understand the situation today. This tutoring may not be completed by me alone."

As long as he can resolve his worries, Du Haoling doesn't mind whether it's handled by one teacher or two teachers.

Lu Yao just said that Miss Bai is a new tutor and is still in the internship period, which means that the owner is still mainly responsible for the tutoring this time.

As a doctor, he understands the necessity of supervising interns.

Lu Yao took out Du Haoling’s soul key from the drawer and handed it over.

Du Huoling held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while before he grasped the handle and slowly inserted it into the small silver ball on the table.

A dazzling light flashed, and Du Haoling opened his eyes, finding himself standing in the middle of a familiar flower garden. His nostrils were filled with the scent of moist soil after the rain. Turning his head, he could see the three-story pointed-cornered castle standing not far away.

Du Haoling couldn't help but take two steps, his heart pounding rapidly, each beat faster than the last.

It seems like... I really traveled through time and space.

Du Haoling is an extremely rational person. Before he actually traveled through time and space, he actually had doubts about the shop owner's theory in his heart, but he was smart enough not to show it.

To the point that at this moment, it took a long time for me to recover from the shock.

There was a rustling sound coming from the front. Du Haoling looked up. The bushes washed by water were as green as new, intertwined with vines with small yellow flowers. The sudden rain had just stopped and a thin mist filled the air, creating a faint and quiet picture.

Two heads suddenly popped out from the other end, saw him, and one of them waved at him.

They are Lu Yao and Bai Yi.

The three of them met up, and Lu Yao looked at the ancient castle not far away, and exclaimed: "Is this your home?"

The shock in Du Haoling's eyes had not completely faded away. He nodded and said, "This should be what my home looked like ten years ago. At this time, my family members are probably all in the funeral home."

A slight engine sound was heard not far away. The three of them took cover in the bushes and saw from afar a young man in a black suit slowly walking down the steps of the castle with a blank expression on his face.

Du Haoling's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He stared at the black-clothed boy and said in a nearly hoarse voice, "That was me."

Lu Yao nodded: "It seems so, you didn't go to the funeral home with your family?"

Du Haoling's eyebrows were knitted together, with a mixture of shock, pain and surprise in his eyes. "When I was a child, I was in poor health and my parents were busy. At that time, only my uncle was still in school and lived at home. He was the only one who would play with me, and we had a good relationship. He was a very smart and patient person. When I learned that his body was fished out of the Moyang River, I couldn't accept this reality. I locked myself in the room for several days and refused to go to the funeral home. Until this day, they notified me that he would be buried. There was no escape or avoidance, so I went out listlessly."

Du Haoling's uncle Du Mingyao disappeared this year. The Du family searched for him for two months and later fished out his body from the Moyang River.

According to the investigation results of the Public Security Bureau, Du Mingyao may have fallen into the river accidentally.

This is actually a euphemism, just like accidentally falling off a pedestrian bridge.

At that time, no surveillance footage was found, nor was there any other strong evidence, and the judgment was made based solely on the condition of the body.

Although the Du family was shocked and helpless, they gradually accepted this statement.

Only the young Du Haoling couldn't accept it. He tried every possible way but still couldn't find any clues.

This thorn had been buried deep in his heart. It did not hurt or itch at ordinary times. However, during the holidays, there was always one pair of bowls and chopsticks missing on the dinner table, and the adults habitually avoided certain topics when chatting. When they passed by the room next to his on the third floor, the thorn would pierce into his skin and heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Du Haoling's tutoring goal this time is to find out the truth about his uncle's death.

Du Haoling couldn't believe that a man like his uncle would choose to end his life in that way.

Bai Yi stretched his neck, his eyes anxious: "The car has left, what should we do?"

Du Hao Ling scowled: "I know where it is."

The quiet villa area is sparsely populated and it is not easy to get a taxi.

It took the three of them some time to get to the funeral home, and they also took some time to disguise themselves as staff and sneak into the Du family's mourning hall.

The water-soaked corpse had been carefully taken care of and lay quietly in the middle of the mourning hall, still looking swollen and pale.

After just a quick look, the three of them came out.

After many years, Du Haoling returned to this memory again, but still found it difficult to get over it.

After coming out of the mourning hall, he became silent and depressed.

Lu Yao thought for a while and said, "Let's travel back in time again, to a further time. I want to see what your uncle looked like when he was alive."

Du Haoling raised his head, his eyes dark and unclear: "Can we still see him when he was alive?"

Lu Yao couldn't help but sighed, "Let's go."

A ball of silver light condensed from Lu Yao's palm and gradually enveloped the three people.

The ball of light dissipated, and the three returned to the Du family's castle again.

But this time, there were no bushes in the garden. Instead, there were tangled thorny vines everywhere, and large pink, yellow, and white double-petaled roses, covered with morning dew, interwoven into beautiful walls.

Sitting on the bench in front of the statue fountain was a young boy wearing a beige turtleneck sweater.

The young man was holding a book in his hand. The morning breeze blew away the hair on his forehead, revealing a pair of deep and compelling eyes.

His eyes fell slightly on the pages of the book, his long legs crossed, and he saw something interesting, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved up.

Suddenly, a young boy came running over with a kite in the shape of a monster, and suddenly lay on the boy's lap, "Uncle, fly the kite with me."

This is the teenage Du Mingyao and the young Du Haoling.

Du Mingyao raised the book vigilantly, with some helplessness in his eyes: "You got up already? Didn't you make an appointment with Xiao Xie and the others to watch cartoons today?"

The cub Du Haoling shook his head, put the kite on the bench, and climbed up Du Mingyao like climbing a mountain, "I want to play with my uncle."

Du Mingyao had a headache on his face. He stretched out his hand and put the book on the farthest end of the bench. He reached out to pick up Du Haoling and picked up the kite with one hand. "Come on, uncle will take you to fly a kite."

Du Mingyao accompanied Du Haoling in flying kites for two hours, and finally exhausted the child's energy.

After the aunt took the sleepy Du Huoling away, Du Mingyao looked relieved. He reached out to take the book on the bench and hid deep in the flower garden.

Du Haoling, who was behind the flower wall, looked at the scene in surprise. It seemed that his uncle did not like him as much as he thought.

Lu Yao beside him also laughed: "Your uncle must have been thinking that this little devil is finally tired of playing."

Du Haoling lowered his eyelashes, his mind wandering, and said in a low voice: "Maybe I have never understood him."

He is eight years older than Du Mingyao.

Du Mingyao was 22 years old when he died, and Du Haoling was 14 years old at that time.

Time adds a perfect filter to memories.

Although it was different from what he remembered, Du Haoling was quite satisfied.

This was the first time he felt like he saw his uncle's true appearance.

Lu Yao stood up: "It's almost time, let's go back first."

Back at the cram school, Du Haoling was still immersed in what happened a few minutes ago.

Bai Yi was very tired, so Lu Yao asked her to go and rest first and that she would not receive any other tutors in the afternoon.

Lu Yao lowered his head to sort out the information he had just received, thinking to himself: "To find the truth, your memory alone is definitely not enough."

He asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Lu Yao was not polite: "If possible, I would like to visit your home, and it would be best if I could see where your uncle lived when he was alive."

Du Haoling understood immediately: "In addition to humans, you can also obtain the memories of objects?"

Lu Yao neither admitted nor denied: "Your perspective was too narrow at the time. We need more clues."

Du Haoling expressed his understanding.

Lu Yao had to go on a business trip today, and time was tight. He was not expected to be back until tomorrow morning at the earliest, so he made an appointment with Du Haoling to go to his house the day after tomorrow.

As he was leaving, Du Haoling stopped walking as he thought of something, and turned around and said, "I saw the recruitment notice at the door when I came here. I have a junior fellow apprentice. His abilities are quite suitable for your place, and he just quit his job recently."

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, "Please introduce it to me."

Du Haoling's junior fellow is also a doctor, with rather strange superpowers. After hearing what Lu Yao had said, Du Haoling immediately contacted his junior fellow fellow.

When the call was connected, the boy on the other end seemed to be playing games, and sounds similar to shooting sounds were heard.

Du Haoling patiently explained that they were also interested in the Childhood Tutorial Center and asked about the interview time.

Lu Yao had to go out, but this recruitment task had a time limit, so he agreed to meet this junior fellow student at noon tomorrow.

After watching Du Haoling leave, Lu Yao returned to the cram school to pack his things and booked a ticket to Orange City.

When leaving, Lu Yao told Bai Yi: "Take a closer look at the previous information. If there are guests making reservations, please register first. If you have any important questions, you can call me."

Pepper walked into the Super Power Research Institute, looked around, and felt something strange.

After going out, the staff of the institute seemed to have a strange look on their faces.

Pepper walked to the front desk and casually asked, "What happened? Why does everyone seem a little... excited?"

…It shouldn’t be his illusion.

The receptionist was sending a message to someone with her head down. She immediately looked up when she heard the words. Seeing that it was Jiao, she said with a straight face, "Didn't that X transfer to our research institute today?"

Huo Jiao knew about this. He met the man coming in when he went out in the morning. It was a scary scene and he nodded slightly.

The excitement on the receptionist's face could not be suppressed: "He has been assigned to Professor An, and will have his first ability test at 2:30 pm."

After thinking about it for a moment, Hu Jiao roughly understood why the atmosphere in the courtyard was so restless.

An Yan is very famous in the Super Energy Research Institute and his abilities are off the charts.

There are rumors that if he had not entered graduate school in his early years, he would have become the next X.

X is a notorious super-powered criminal who was arrested half a year ago and has been transferred to several research institutes.

So far, there is still no way to deal with him.

This person not only has a high psychological defense, but also has an S-level attack ability, and his ability value is a mystery.

This time, he is probably trying to use force to subdue him and extract information.

Pepper returned to the experimental subject dormitory on the fifth floor, where his roommates were also discussing the test in the afternoon.

At 2:55, the screen in the dormitory lit up, and the picture came from the large testing room on the seventh floor.

This ability test was actually broadcast live, but only within the research institute.

Not only the Super Power Research Institute in Sanhua City, I'm afraid that research institutes across the region are watching this live broadcast at this time.

Seventh floor, ability testing room.

Outside the transparent glass, many researchers were standing. Some of them looked excited, while others looked solemn. Their expressions varied.

X stood in the middle of the room. He was about thirty years old, with deep and handsome features. Electronic shackles were worn on his hands and feet. He looked calm and unaware of the onlookers outside the glass. He did not look at all embarrassed as a prisoner. He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the testing table.

The man who walked out of there was his opponent today.

Seeing that it was almost time, An Yan stood up and took off his white coat, still wearing black clothes and black pants.

The black tights had no sleeves, revealing well-proportioned arms, silver hair, red eyes, long legs and broad shoulders.

As soon as he walked out, he caused a small group of exclamations.

X narrowed his eyes, looked An Yan up and down, and raised the corners of his mouth a little: "Professor An, nice to meet you."

An Yan was in a good mood and raised his wrist.

A colleague in the monitoring room pressed the remote control and the shackles on X fell off.

In the experimental subject's dormitory, Pepper's roommate's eyes widened: "They actually took off the shackles from X. What if he runs away?"

Someone else said, "With Professor An here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

The man just now shook his head: "You don't understand, X is not an ordinary person. Once the shackles are taken off, they will not be put on again easily."

In the testing room, X turned his wrist, a dark light in his eyes, "Thank you."

An Yan did not respond to this provocation. He just raised his hand and said calmly, "Let's start."

It was a perfect opportunity, and X had the intention of escaping from prison, so he left no room for maneuver from the beginning.

Twenty minutes later, An Yan handcuffed X's hands behind his back and called his colleagues to put handcuffs on X again.

Outside the transparent glass, there was complete silence.

The dormitories and live broadcast rooms of various research institutes were almost silent.

I thought X and An Yan were at least equally matched, but...

When X was escorted back to the room, he looked at An Yan deeply and uttered two words: "Monster."

An Yan turned around and went back to the monitoring room, picked up his white coat and put it on again, with a slight smile on his lips.

monster.

What a fresh review.

In the experimental subject dormitory, Hu Jiao looked at An Yan's indifferent figure leaving, and something in his dark eyes lit up.

If he also had the same powerful ability as An Yan, would he be able to protect Hu Qi

Lu Yao got on the train to Orange City on time.

The journey was quite peaceful. Lu Yao leaned against the car window, drowsy.

The system was holding back for the whole time, but couldn't help but blurt out: [Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper! ]

Lu Yao woke up with a start, his eyes misty, his voice still half sleepy: "What's wrong?"

The system hesitated for a while: [The tutoring for Du Haoling shouldn't be that troublesome, right? ]

Lu Yao: “???”

System: [Didn’t you go back to Du Haoling’s past and see Du Mingyao’s body? If you secretly took a piece of his bone, wouldn’t everything be clear? ]

Lu Yao's sleepiness instantly disappeared, his expression became clear, and he slowly sat up straight: "You have become smarter."

The system ignored the shop owner's vague sarcasm and continued: [That's right. I can't go on business trips every time. It's so tiring.]

Lu Yao: "Why are you so concerned about me all of a sudden?"

The system's voice suddenly tensed: [No. I just feel it's weird.]

Lu Yao lowered his eyes, his emotions flickering, "Actually, I've also been working on an interesting idea recently."

The system has a bad feeling: [… Wh… what? ]

Lu Yao: "If I get a piece of system data, can I go back to your childhood?"

The system slowly calmed down its anxiety: [Shopkeeper, the only way to realize your wish is to keep opening new shops. This is the rule. Any other delusions will only make you further and further away from the shore.]

Lu Yao stopped when he saw that things were going well: "Well, you're right."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived in Orange City.

With the guidance of Pepper's memory, Lu Yao easily found the Kumquat Community of that year.

She strolled around the community, found the apartment building where Huo Jiao once lived, and went to Jinju Primary School.

At 1:30 in the morning, Lu Yao walked out of the train station, took a deep breath, cheered himself up, and took a taxi back to the store.

Childhood Tuition Center, lounge.

Lu Yao curled up on the sofa with a blanket draped over him, his brows slightly furrowed, feeling his chest heavy and hot.

But she was so sleepy that she turned over with a little effort. After a while, she felt difficulty breathing, and this time her cheeks became hot.

Lu Yao reached out to touch his face and felt a handful of soft hair. Then he felt a wet spot on his face, which was slightly stinging. He suddenly opened his eyes and muttered, "Erxin, move away. I'm suffocating."

The owner doesn't allow licking.

Erxin stared at her with his big round eyes in confusion for a while, then turned his head and burrowed into the owner's arms with a grunt, and lay there motionless.

Lu Yao pulled the blanket down, hugged the fat cat and closed his eyes.

In the middle of the night, heavy snow fell on the shopping street.

Snow flakes as soft as goose feathers fluttered in the air, covering the silent green hills with a layer of silver. The river still flowed quietly, and a pile of icicles formed on the dead branches on the embankment.

Lu Yao got up in the morning and hurried back to the nail salon to change into a down jacket. When he came out, he met Ji Feiming, and the two stood under the eaves for a while.

A thin layer of ice formed on the road in the middle of the shopping street. The withered yellow grass leaves on the roadside were bent, with a thin layer of ice hanging on the tips of the leaves.

Lu Yao blew some air onto his hands and stamped his feet. He couldn't help but squat down and gently poke the snow on the weeds. The snow was fluffy and cold, and when it was evaporated by his body temperature, it turned into ice water.

Her eyes sparkled: "It rarely snows in Yaoguang City, but it snowed so suddenly tonight."

Ji Feiming looked up at the sky, dark clouds were overhead, and his brows furrowed, "It is indeed a little unusual."

---

At the foot of Qianmen Mountain.

The child stood under a tree covered with rime and looked back at the mountain top.

But in just a moment, the knee-deep footprints were almost completely covered by the snow.

Ji Feichen stood behind the child, and behind him stood the younger generation of the Ji family.

After serving the young child for half a year, I actually had the opportunity to leave the sacred mountain.

The group of people looked respectful, but they were actually extremely excited.

It’s quiet on the mountain, but there’s no signal and no electricity, so it’s really hard to endure in the winter.

I feel much more comfortable now that I'm down the mountain.

I just don’t know where the child wants to go.

But no matter where you go, it is always better than the sacred mountain with snow all year round.

At least we can wait until spring to come back, winter is really hard.

The child came back to his senses and walked down the mountain first.

Ji Feichen followed him and asked: "Where are you going?"

I have asked this before, and I thought about making some arrangements in advance.

But the child was unwilling to reveal it.

At this time, the child paused for a moment, and said in a childish voice, but without any ups and downs: "Yaoguang."

He was going to the land where she was.

----

It was the first snow, and Lu Yao wanted to eat mutton soup, while Harold joined in the fun and clamored for dumplings.

The snack bar cooked two large pots of mutton soup early in the morning and steamed dumplings with thin skin and large fillings.

Early in the morning, the shop assistants followed the owner to drink hot mutton soup and eat delicious steamed dumplings. They even worked themselves into a sweat despite the heavy snow.

After breakfast, rinse your mouth to remove the odor.

After making sure that there was no strange smell on his body, Lu Yao walked out of the lounge and found that there were already guests in the cram school room.

Lu Yao raised his eyebrows and walked over.

Sang Li stood up and said, "Shopkeeper, I want to sign up for childhood tutoring."

The little girl is here again.

This time it was alone.

Noticing the shop owner's gaze, Sang Li rubbed the soft strap of her backpack and said, "My mother has gone home. It was my own idea to come to tutoring."

Sang Li didn't wear heavy makeup today, revealing her fair and beautiful cheeks, and her round and watery eyes contained a hint of determination.

Lu Yao took out the form that she had not finished filling out yesterday from under the table.

Sang Li took it and continued writing from where she hadn't finished yesterday, "You knew I would come again?"

Lu Yao propped his chin with his hand and blinked: "Almost."

Sang Li spent 20 minutes filling out the test form and asked casually, "Hu Jiao is not coming today?"

Lu Yao was looking at her test materials. He raised his eyes and glanced over. The girl looked calm.

Lu Yao nodded: "What's wrong?"

Sang Li held the tip of the pen and pressed it lightly, with a strange expression on her face: "I am his fan. I watch every live broadcast of his. But after that night, he never broadcast live again."

Without waiting for Lu Yao to reply, Sang Li continued, "Actually, I have the same idea as him. After he stopped broadcasting, I tried to implement the plan several times, but I always remembered your voice at the last minute. But I don't seem to have such good luck. I can't meet you, so I can only come to you myself."

The girl looked calm.

Sang Li had never met Lu Yao before, but what she said on the glass dome of the Sky Garden that night was edited into various short videos, with nearly 100 million views.

Many people on the Internet were interested in the store owner. Later, someone waited outside the tutorial center and secretly took a photo of the store owner and posted it online.

Sang Li read through all the related topics, but still couldn't imagine what kind of person she was.

She actually didn't understand why she suddenly cared so much about this person.

Lu Yao looked up at her for a while, held her hand, and smiled: "It's a good thing you came."

Sang Li lowered her eyelashes, not knowing what to say.

Lu Yao put her test sheet aside and prepared to take the bone to make the key: "Don't worry, you just encountered some difficulties, it's not time to despair. We can find a way to solve it together, it's no problem."

Sang Li pulled her hand back, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Yeah."

Sang Li’s tutoring time is scheduled for four days later.

After getting the soul key bracelet, Sang Li nodded to Lu Yao and hurried out of the cram school room.

Bai Yi was there just now, but he didn't understand what "live broadcast" meant, so he asked curiously.

Lu Yao is actually not very interested in online news, especially this kind of edited videos.

No matter what the situation was at the time, as the person involved, she would definitely dig her toes into the ground when looking back at it.

So, she tried hard to ignore Bai Yi's curious eyes, stood up and put Sang Li's tutoring material box and the Soul Key into the drawer.

Xu Xiaoxiao came out of the bathroom, listened for a while, and excitedly took out her mobile phone, searched for the video with the highest number of views, and showed it to Bai Yi.

… It was no longer possible to stay in the cram school room, so Lu Yao walked out quickly.

Erxin curled up in a ball on the cushioned rattan chair. Lu Yao walked over and picked it up, occupying the territory warmed by it. He then took out a brush from behind the shelf and combed the pig's hair from time to time.

Many pigs don't like to be combed, but Erxin is an exception.

This guy likes the noble feeling of being served by humans, especially when Lu Yao is combing its hair, it starts purring after a while.

When Xie Molin arrived at the Childhood Tutorial Center, he saw this scene from a distance.

A girl in a thick down jacket sat on a rattan chair, holding a hairbrush in her hand, a fat cat lying on her legs, observing the passers-by with a casual expression.

On the crowded street, Xie Molin paused slightly and seemed to meet her eyes for a second.

The other person's gaze was like a feather, gently lingering on him for a moment, then quickly slipping away.

Xie Molin put his hands in his pockets, walked over and pushed open the glass door.

Xie Molin, 23 years old.

He graduated from the same university as Du Haoling, majoring in individual psychology.

After graduation, he joined one of the country's leading psychological research centers, but resigned a month ago.

Half a month ago, I returned to Sanhua City from the central area of Lihua City and am currently unemployed.

According to Du Haoling, Xie Molin is a very difficult person to deal with.

After he left his original research center, no less than five top institutions extended olive branches to him, but Xie Molin was not interested in any of them.

But when Du Haoling called, the other party heard the name of Childhood Tutorial Center and agreed to come and take a look.

The man who was rumored to be quite difficult to deal with decisively signed the employment contract after taking a time-travel adaptability test with the store owner.

[Successfully recruited two qualified tutors within the time limit, mission completed! Reward: 2000 popularity points, 10 awakening points! ]

[You have a new task! Please use one month to turn Lu Yao's Childhood Tuition Center into a landmark building in Sanhua City. The task rewards 100,000 popularity points and 50 awakening points. ]

[System prompt: The current task progress is 13%.]

Lu Yao secretly pondered the new task, which was to build a landmark building in the center of a city within a month. This was a huge leap from 0 to 100, and she had no temper to complain.

Lu Yao did not consider the task for the time being and devoted himself to guiding the two new teachers to familiarize themselves with the tutoring process.

Apart from Du Haoling and Jiao Huo, the guests who made reservations in recent days did not have any major problems. Lu Yao took turns taking care of Bai Yi and Xie Molin in the morning and afternoon.

On the second day, Lu Yao was invited to visit Du Haoling's home.

Xie Molin and Du Haoling are not only alumni, but their families are also old friends in private.

When Xie Molin heard the purpose of Lu Yao's trip, he called Du Haoling and then took the initiative to drive Lu Yao to the Du family's old house.

They stayed in the old castle of the Du family for two hours, and then went to the house where Du Mingyao lived before his death.

After returning to the childhood cram school, Lu Yao plunged into the laboratory and spent several hours adding the clues he had obtained bit by bit into Du Haoling's spiritual key.

The next morning, it was Pepper's tutoring time again.

Lu Yao went to the research institute to pick up Jiao He, and as usual, he was taken to the third floor to wait.

Zheng Siyao took Lu Yao to the cafe to have a cup of coffee and eat something.

In the corridor, a team of researchers and a tall man with shackles on his hands and feet came out from the corner.

Zheng Siyao immediately pulled Lu Yao to the side to avoid the situation.

The two sides passed by each other, and X lowered his eyes and heard a female voice behind him: "Who is this person?"

Another voice said with some surprise: "X, didn't you watch the news?"

As the distance faded, I could no longer hear what the female voice behind me said.

X's eyes flashed with interest. He actually met a powerless person.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Yao received Huo as he wished.

Huo Jiao's face was a little pale, with two dark circles under his eyes, and he looked obviously not as energetic as last time.

Lu Yao asked: "Have you started the experiment?"

Pepper shook his head gloomily: "Not yet. But it will be soon."

Lu Yao was silent for a while, "I have adjusted your tutoring plan. The perspective will be a little different today."

The live broadcast from the day before flashed through Hu Jiao's mind, and a hint of depression flashed across his eyes. "Yeah."

"Did something happen to you?" Lu Yao felt inexplicably uneasy.

Pepper looked at her, and there was an obvious worry in the girl's eyes.

He shook his head and subconsciously changed the subject: "Nothing. A very special experimental subject came to the institute the other day, and we watched a live broadcast."

Lu Yao was indeed interested: "What kind of experimental subject? And live broadcast?"

Pepper: "Ability value test. The test subject is called 'X', the person we met when we went out that day."

Lu Yao recalled the heavy armored vehicle he encountered on the first floor of the research institute that day.

It turned out that person was the man I met in the corridor today.

Hu Jiao noticed that the owner seemed to be unaware of X's affairs, and in order to pave the way for the live broadcast between An Yan and X, he told many stories about X.

Before they knew it, they were back at the cram school.

Pepper’s third childhood tutoring begins.

Shopping street, furry shop.

Ji Zhixin had just finished his work as a switchboard operator and came down from the fishing room and ordered a cup of coffee.

He originally wanted to sit by the window, but outside the window there were snow-capped mountains and few customers, so there were no extra seats and he had to sit in the corner.

The Tear Drop Seal brought coffee. Ji Zhixin took a sip and checked the messages on his phone.

After dealing with all the business contacts, he clicked on the group chat icon of the younger generation of the Ji family.

The group is particularly active today, with hundreds of messages already posted.

Ji Zhixin patiently read through the articles one by one, and it turned out to be another topic brought up by Ji Zhixun.

She said in the group that the child had left the sacred mountain.

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and the group began to post messages frantically.

Ji Zhiqing, Ji Zhixiang, Ji Zhile and the others were so envious that they were full of flattery in their words.

Ji Zhixun was a little bit overwhelmed and directly posted a picture in the group.

After a few seconds, it quickly withdrew.

[Ji Zhile: This this this this!!!]

[Ji Zhixiang: What is that? It's gone before I can even see it clearly! ]

[Ji Zhiqing: Xunxun, can you take another look?]

Ji Zhixin was quick-witted and saved one before she withdrew it.

Clicking on it and taking a closer look, I saw that my eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Is this the child

How about it? It looks a bit...
