Start with the script killing shop

What Jiang Qi didn't expect was that he would soon meet this strange girl for the fourth time.

After breakfast, Jiang Qi went to Boss Wang's store to refer to the price list to price today's new products. Jiang Qi’s pricing method for the braised food in his store is very simple. Just increase the price of the braised food at Boss Wang’s store by 50%.

When Jiang Qi went to refer to the price list, Boss Wang was happily chewing on the duck neck. There were two bottles of soy milk that had been consumed next to the duck neck. It was obvious that Boss Wang's spicy eating skills needed to be improved.

"Boss Wang, why are the duck necks in your store so cheap? I remember that the Jingwu duck necks next to Chenji cost 6 yuan each, right? Why do you only sell them for 4 yuan?" Jiang Qi looked at the price of the duck necks. Somewhat confused.

"This is the price two years ago. At that time, everyone sold duck necks for 4 yuan. It was only in the past two years that the price increased to 6 yuan. I haven't braised duck necks in my store for a long time, and the duck necks I braised are really good. It's so unpalatable that my wife doesn't even want to eat it." Obviously, Boss Wang has a very clear understanding of his own strength.

Jiang Qi:......

Jiang Qi silently set the price of duck necks at 9 yuan each.

He is really a shady businessman.

Since there were not many types of new products, Jiang Qi quickly set the price and sent it to Chengzi.

It was already past 8 o'clock. Chengzi, who had developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early since working, excitedly sent Jiang Qi a series of exclamation marks after receiving the news to express his mood at this moment.

Then she asked Jiang Qi if she could keep some more duck necks and duck feet, and eat them while watching TV series. She loved eating this kind of thing.

Jiang Qi felt that he wouldn't mind if she wasn't afraid of her spicy mouth turning into a sausage mouth.

Jiang Qi was replying to Chengzi when Boss Wang received a call.

"Hello? Are you the shopkeeper? When are you going to come over? At 3 o'clock this afternoon? No problem, I'm nearby. Just call me when you get to the alley. Oh, okay, okay. My surname is Wang. .”

After Boss Wang hung up the phone, Jiang Qi said casually: "Boss Wang still has a shop that he hasn't rented out yet?"

Jiang Qi thought that all his shops were rented out. By the way, Chen Ji's shop belonged to Boss Wang.

"It's not my shop, it's Old Man Chen's. Didn't he stop opening a hardware store? He cleared out all the stuff in the store some time ago and the store has been closed for four or five days. He wants to rent out the store, but I’m not very good at it, so I’m afraid of being cheated by the tenant, so I asked me to rent it for him.”

"We are all neighbors. Old Chen is pitiful on his own. This is just a small favor," said Boss Wang.

"Where does Grandpa Chen live now?"

"I live near here. Old Man Chen's family has always lived here. It might as well be that he closed the store. He has a bad temper. There is a hardware store on this street, and the business in his store has been slow. That’s great, why not close the store and rent it out to earn some rent money.”

Just as he was talking, Jiang Qi saw the strange girl he met again at the noodle shop in the morning walking past Boss Wang.

As she walked, she looked around, looking at the signboards of each store, first looking at the signboards and then at the storefronts, as if she was looking for a store.

Meeting this girl four times in less than 24 hours was definitely not a coincidence. It was entirely because Jiang Qi stayed here and this girl kept running around in the alley, so it was normal for him to meet her.

Jiang Qi pointed at the girl wearing a simple shirt and trousers and asked Boss Wang: "Boss Wang, did you see this girl last night?"

"See, this little girl is very strange."

"Why is it weird?"

"When she came here yesterday, she had a suitcase in her hand. She seemed to be looking for some store like this. She was looking around and looking at her mobile phone. She went up and down the alley four or five times in one night, but she didn't know where it was. Looking for something.”

"This girl is weird, but she is not polite. Do you remember Aunt Xu? She used to be from the neighborhood committee. She had naturally curly hair, a very loud voice, and was very enthusiastic."

"Remember, remember." Jiang Qi nodded repeatedly.

"Aunt Xu is a very enthusiastic person. Seeing her as a little girl dragging a suitcase around like a headless fly, she thought she was looking for some relative or someone she couldn't find. Aunt Xu took the initiative to ask her, but it turned out that The girl ignored Aunt Xu and just looked at her phone, which made Aunt Xu angry." Boss Wang shook his head as he spoke.

"I don't know why little girls nowadays treat their mobile phones like treasures. My girl is the same. She will be in high school soon. She doesn't think about studying all day long, but thinks about how to play with her mobile phone. My wife and I..."

"..."

By the time Boss Wang finished talking about the ten major impacts of mobile phones on young people, the strange girl had already disappeared. Jiang Qi also left, and Boss Wang continued to watch TV on his mobile phone.

Jiang Qi, who was about to return home, met a strange girl in front of his store for the fifth time.

She was standing at the entrance of Xinghe Script Killing, looking at her cell phone and looking at the appearance of the store entrance. She also didn't forget to look at the noodle shop next door to confirm something.

We have met her five times, and this time it was at the door of her own store. Jiang Qi couldn't help but stepped forward and patted the girl on the shoulder out of curiosity.

"Are you looking for something?"

"Ah, I..." The girl was so embarrassed and nervous that she was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Qi noticed that the interface of his mobile phone was a news video.

A news video he was very familiar with.

News of Zhang Yicheng’s arrest.

But the girl wasn't reading the news itself, because her phone didn't have the sound on. This video is not an official video, but a marketing account edited from several related videos, with no subtitles at all.

She was looking at pictures.

"I am the owner of this store." Jiang Qi pointed to the door of the script store.

"Yes... I'm sorry." The girl apologized loudly and subconsciously bowed, "I didn't mean to block the door of your store and affect your opening of business. I just wanted to... find a store."

"What store are you looking for?"

"I don't know either."

Jiang Qi:?

Jiang Qi opened the store and said as he did so: "I know all the merchants and shops in this alley and am very familiar with them. If you want to find a store, you can tell me and I can help you find it."

The girl didn't respond.

Jiang Qi turned around.

The girl said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't hear you. I couldn't read your lips when you were talking with your back to me. Did you just talk to me?"

Jiang Qi suddenly realized.

No wonder, he clearly thinks that this girl is actually very polite, so why is she always ignoring people.

Jiang Qi repeated what he had just said, and the girl said loudly thank you for entering the store with him.

"My name is Jiang Qi. I am the boss of Galaxy Script Club. What is your name?" Jiang Qi poured a glass of water for the girl.

"My name is Liu Rui. I watched the news about the arrest of the fugitive. While watching the news, I saw the video of the store here and thought..."

"I feel like I stayed here when I was a kid, so I wanted to come and have a look."

Jiang Qi:?

"like?"

After Liu Rui's confusing explanation, Jiang Qi probably understood what she was doing in this alley.

She comes looking for her biological parents who abandoned her.

Liu Rui was abandoned by her biological parents when she was a child. Wearing only a thin cotton-padded jacket in the middle of winter, she was thrown into the icy and snowy north and almost froze to death. Because of her luck, she was picked up by the director of the orphanage.

That abandonment caused her to have a high fever, her hearing was severely damaged, and her memory was severely lacking, and she could only remember a few fragments. The director of the orphanage reported the case, but nothing happened, so Liu Rui entered the orphanage.

Because of hearing problems, Liu Rui only finished junior high school and stopped studying. Now she works in a factory with extremely serious noise pollution.

The reason why she traveled thousands of miles to come to Xuncheng because of a piece of news edited by a marketing account was because she felt a little familiar when she saw Galaxy Script killing nearby stores in the video.

She felt that she should have lived here when she was a child, but when she actually came here she was not sure.

She felt that there should be a store here that she would be very familiar with, and she also hoped that she could accidentally see her relatives here, but no.

She walked around the alleys all night last night and looked at every store. Some of the stores seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't find what she wanted.

She felt that she was just wishful thinking, and calmly came over on impulse.

"Actually, if you calm down and think about it carefully, it's quite ridiculous that I would live here when I was a child. My parents abandoned me in the north. Xuncheng is so far away from the city where the dean's mother picked me up. Who would abandon a child and run that far? Throw it away?" Liu Rui smiled bitterly.

Liu Rui didn't know that Jiang Qi, who was standing next to her, had been dumbfounded.

Jiang Qi only has two words in his heart now.

Damn it?

Damn it!

Damn it? !

"How old are you...?" Jiang Qi's tongue was tangled as he spoke.

Liu Rui said uncertainly: "Maybe 17 or 16. I was picked up by the dean's mother 9 years ago."

Jiang Qi:! ! !

Jiang Qi started to run out, but he was afraid that Liu Rui would run away, so he turned around and pulled her and ran out. Liu Rui was stunned.

Jiang Qi grabbed Liu Rui and rushed into the noodle shop next door: "Sister Hu, what season was it when Grandpa Chen's twins were abducted?"

"It seems to be autumn. It's almost winter at that time. What's wrong? Hey, Xiaojiang, why are you grabbing this little girl's hand?" Sister Hu was shocked.

Jiang Qi was so excited that he could not speak coherently: "Do you have Grandpa Chen's phone number? Call him quickly, call him over quickly!"

Sister Hu was confused and scratched her head: "I don't have Old Chen's phone number. Old Wang should have it. Didn't he help Old Chen rent a shop? First of all, what are you doing with Old Chen? Do you want to rent his shop?"

"No." Jiang Qi pointed at Liu Rui with his other hand, "She, she is Grandpa Chen's granddaughter!"

"What?"

"She is Grandpa Chen's granddaughter! She was picked up by the director of the orphanage in the north nine years ago in the winter. She...my mind is so messed up that I can't explain clearly, but she must be Grandpa Chen's granddaughter!"

"Fuck!" Sister Hong exclaimed and subconsciously grabbed Liu Rui's other hand, just like Jiang Qi, who was afraid that she would run away.

"Quick, quick, quick, call Lao Wang and ask him to call Mr. Chen over!"
