World 9 Chapter 121

Chapter 121.

In the bustling city center, the lights are bright, and the music played in the stores is one after another. The fall of night brings more popularity to the place.

The children's laughter was loud, and they were circling around a cute panda doll. The doll stretched out its round hands and said, "My dears, there is a big opening bonus. You can get many, many beautiful things just by dining in the store. Toys, including cars and cloth dolls, remember to take the flyer and show it to your parents."

The panda doll's voice was soft and sweet, which made the children rush towards her. However, a colleague on the side quickly stopped and said patiently, "Babies can touch the panda with their hands and hold the panda gently, but be sure not to pounce, otherwise the panda will be injured."

With so many children jumping on her, her head would be dizzy after being thrown. The colleague smiled helplessly. Fortunately, she was with Ye Zheng today who helped her out, otherwise she would have had a headache.

The number of flyers in the hands of a colleague was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, until only a few were left. She said, "The work is over successfully! Zhengzheng, how do you manage to get others to accept the flyers every time you hand them out and also return them? Can you put a smile on your face? I have obviously worn this panda suit, but the efficiency is simply not as good as yours."

The two of them walked to a place with few people and sat casually on the steps. Ye Zheng took off her hood, her hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead. The sweat on the tip of her nose was wiped away by Ye Zheng. Her fair and delicate face was flushed by the heat, and her brows were wet. She smiled, which made her colleagues feel relaxed and happy when they saw her smile. The colleague handed her a bottle of mineral water and couldn't help but say, "Sometimes I really envy you. I feel that you are very motivated in everything you do and full of hope for life. Maybe it is because of your energy that everything you do goes more smoothly than me."

Ye Zheng drank the mineral water delicately. Although she was very tired, she still sipped it calmly.

She kindly praised her colleagues, "You also have things I envy. For example, you relied on your own efforts to buy a house in this big city at a young age."

"Well, after you pay the down payment, you will have to work hard for the house for the rest of your life."

Ye Zheng looked at her colleagues with warm eyes and encouraged, "But at least you have a home."

The colleague was infected by her good attitude, smiled and nodded, "You are right!"

Ye Zheng flipped through the remaining leaflets in her hand. Her colleague glanced at her and whispered, "Just stuff the rest into the trash can. We have been busy for several hours. It's okay to be lazy for a while."

Ye Zheng explained slowly, "The two of us are responsible for this work. We both get a commission when we come to the store with brochures and full discounts. If we lose them, wouldn't we lose hundreds of dollars? This is such a loss."

The colleague couldn't help laughing and patted her shoulder, "I just like working with you, otherwise I wouldn't follow the store manager from the main store to the branch. Who would let you and the store manager be in the branch."

"Just rest, I'll take care of these leaflets."

"Okay, I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow. By the way, don't wear a hood. Show your smile. I won't believe there are no customers you can't handle!"

Ye Zheng turned to the side and gave a thumbs up to praise her colleague's words. She raised her eyebrows and walked confidently towards the busy road.

She looked around the crowd, her dark eyes passing through the dark light, which seemed to be the light reflected from the neon lights, but also seemed to be the light in her eyes.

Ye Zheng wore a low ponytail and had gentle and delicate eyebrows. A mole on the corner of her left eye made her smile a little more charming. She saw two young girls holding hands, trotted over and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but there's a big bonus for the opening of the new store. You two are welcome to come to the store to taste it at any time."

A girl wearing glasses took the promotional leaflet and said shyly, "Okay, I will go to the store when I have time."

"Remember to bring a promotional leaflet, you'll get thirty off for every one hundred." Ye Zheng smiled refreshingly, with red lips and white teeth. There was a unique summer sea wave atmosphere, which was generous and comfortable at the edge of the coastal city.

The girl wearing glasses swallowed her saliva. Not long ago, she noticed Ye Zheng, frowning and biting her lips, looking weak and helpless. The wetness of her temples showed her hard work, so she involuntarily pulled her friend towards Ye Zheng. Approaching, she thought she could give Ye Zheng a little help, such as giving away a promotional page, but in the end, she was so amazed by Ye Zheng's smile that she dispelled the fatigue and irritability caused by her studies.

She said decisively, "Don't worry, I will bring my friends to eat tomorrow!"

[Ding dong~Congratulations on getting two number worth of points~]

Ye Zheng responded in surprise, "Wow, thank you so much. I wish you a happy life."

"Thank you." The girl with glasses wanted to continue talking to Ye Zheng, but her friend was still thinking about the movie that was going to start later, so she just pulled her away. As she walked away, she muttered, "I don't know who told me just now. You want to lose weight, why can't you hold back when you see a beautiful woman?"

Ye Zheng lowered her eyes and raised her lips and smiled. When she raised her eyes again, everything in front of her was different from what normal humans would see.

In her field of vision, everyone has a halo on their head. For example, the girl wearing glasses, her original halo was white, but when she saw the lost Ye Zheng, the white halo gave off a faint pink light, Ye Zheng knew that this was a girl who had a slight crush on her, so when she handed over the brochure, she showed a smile without hesitation. Soon she saw the pink light deepening, and Ye Zheng said "Yeah" in her heart. If nothing else happens, she will definitely come to the store tomorrow.

According to the evaluation of the favorability system, my smile is as high as 88 points, which is innately contagious. I don't need the favorability system to take action at all, and I can successfully win customers.

There was only the last promotional page left in Ye Zheng's hand. She breathed out a sigh of relief, unable to hide the joy in her brows.

She thinks she is lucky. As long as she can be safe, that is a kind of luck.

Ye Zheng was a child who grew up in an orphanage. The closest person she had was the mother, the dean, but she passed away a few years ago. Without relatives, she only had friends. However, as she grew older, familiarity she had in the past with those friends was also suppressed by work and life. Occasional gatherings are full of boredom, and the contact gradually fades away.

Ye Zheng studied an ordinary university major for two years and finally resigned because she couldn't bear the lewd looks from a colleague and the job was not what she liked, so she resigned decisively.

Anyway, she is a lonely person. She has no family to urge her to get married, and has no plans to get married, so she can do whatever she wants. When she accidentally saw the restaurant's recruitment, Ye Zheng went for the interview without hesitation.

A month ago, Ye Zheng suffered from a high fever. After she recovered, there was an existence in her head that claimed to be a "favorability system". For a moment, Ye Zheng almost thought that she had become a psychopath, but in fact it proves that the favorability system is real, because the food redemption in the system mall is not fake.

[Fifteen minutes have expired, and the halo gold finger will require twenty points before it can be opened again~]

Ye Zheng stroked her forehead, how could these fifteen minutes end so quickly? Fortunately, there is only one left.

"Every time I hear these 20 points, I want to scold you. You are really stupid. You want 5,000 points for a handbook of palace delicacies, and you want points for a gold finger. You can't really think I'm a heartthrob, right? Just a little smile can increase people's favorability!"

Ye Zheng complained about the favorability system. She didn't have big ambitions. She didn't want to become a heartthrob and earn points from many people. She just thought about gaining favor with strangers or friends from time to time, and slowly accumulated these five thousand points. By then, when the things were in hand, who would want to deal with this evil person? Who cares about the system? She won't care about it anymore anyway.

[Sorry, this is your own incompetence as the host and has nothing to do with the system. ]

"..." Very good.

At this time, Ye Zheng saw a person in the crowd. Just by wiping her back, Ye Zheng was sure that she was a beautiful woman.

The leaflet in her hand can be given to anyone, so why not give it to her?

Ye Zheng walked over, then quietly poked her head out to look at her.

The woman noticed her appearance and turned sideways. Her indifferent eyes instantly melted into tenderness. She tucked her hair around her ears and looked at Ye Zheng with a tilted head and a smile.

Ye Zheng thought she was hiding well, but a woman's sensitivity was beyond her imagination, so she was caught red-handed.

Ye Zheng walked awkwardly, because she had not yet taken off the panda costume on her body. She held the leaflet in both hands and handed it over. She usually used her smile to make other people blush, but this time she when she met a powerful opponent, her sweet smile was of no use, and she became a loser.

"Beautiful sister, we have a big discount for the opening of our new store. We have 30% off for orders over 100. You are welcome to come to our store and taste the delicious food."

Tangli stretched out her hand to take it. The plain ring on her index finger made Ye Zheng look at the wrong place, "You can also bring your lover to dine with you then. For couples, you can get a 20% discount."

Tangli raised her eyebrows, shook her palms and explained, "I am single at the moment."

Ye Zheng was still shocked and smoothed things over, "There is no time limit for the discount on couples seats in our store. As long as the customer is a couple, they will get a 20% discount when they come to the store."

Her treatment seemed to make Tang Li dissatisfied. She looked at Ye Zheng with her arms crossed. Her casual eyes felt like a hunter inspecting her prey. The tail of her eyes was raised and she smiled. Tang Li said, "But I heard what you just said seems to confirm that I am not single."

Ye Zheng smiled sheepishly, "I accidentally looked at your ring in the wrong place just now, thinking it was on your middle finger."

Tang Li nodded understandingly and said meaningfully, "Then I'll borrow your good words."

"Good words?" Ye Zheng blinked. The wind blew her hair and her vision became blurred. Ye Zheng neatly untied her low ponytail and tried to tie her hair up again, but the black hair rope playfully slipped out of her hair. It escaped through the fingers and fell to the ground.

"..." Ye Zheng was speechless and choked. The bulky panda costume made it impossible for her to bend down to pick up things, so she was thinking about whether to leave with her hair down instead of picking up the hair rope.

But the elegant woman standing opposite her thoughtfully helped her pick it up.

Tang Li said, "Yes, with your good words, maybe I will have a girlfriend soon."

Ye Zheng repeated her words in surprise, "Girlfriend?"

She smiled and said, "Yes."

Ye Zheng's eyes touched Tang Li's face and quickly looked away. No wonder she felt that there was a charming temperament in her body that attracted her. It turned out that her sexual orientation was that of a woman. How could she escape when sge unleashes her charm, unless she is not a woman.

"Pretty... pretty good." Ye Zheng lowered her head, holding the hair rope picked up by Tang Li in her hand.

Suddenly, Tang Li took out her mobile phone and said calmly, "Do you mind letting me add your contact information?"

"Mine?"

Tangli laughed. The panda's round belly and her surprised expression were the reasons for Tangli's smile to appear, and her cuteness was struck at that moment.

"Yes, your contact information."

Ye Zheng panicked, and there was a burning heat on her face that drove her into a hurry. She retracted her arms from the arms of the panda suit, and rummaged through the side pockets of her overalls. The next second, a crack opened above the panda's belly, and the mobile phone held by Ye Zheng appeared there.

This is very graphic, and there is a bit of cuteness in the horror, which makes Tangli chuckle and hold Ye Zheng's hand considerately, so that Ye Zheng does not need to use too much strength. After all, she is wearing the doll costume looks very tired and hard working.

With a "beep" sound, her she successfully scanned the code. Ye Zheng also took back her phone and put her hands back into the arms of the doll suit.

Tangli took the initiative to hold the panda's round hand and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Tangli. I am twenty six years old. I have no bad habits. My work is simple and casual. I run a cafe. I am clean and self sufficient. There is nothing dirty around me. There is no romantic relationship between Chu and Chu. Currently, I am single."

The more Ye Zheng listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Could this be what she said when they first met? Although she said that she had never been on a blind date, her posture looked like she was on a blind date.

Ye Zheng swallowed, trying to wake Tangli up, "I... I'm not."

She hesitated to speak, and Tangli immediately understood her meaning. Tangli asked naturally, "I would like to ask a presumptuous question, have you ever been in love?"

Ye Zheng shook her head.

"Then do you have someone you like?"

She still shook her head.

The curve of Tangli's lips deepened, she took a step forward and said, "Then you can't say you're not."

Her determination made Ye Zheng fall into silence. It was not that she was speechless, but... what she said made sense, and Ye Zheng was inexplicably convinced by her.

Wait, I wanted to reject her, but why did I run more and more crookedly?

Tangli put the promotional page neatly in her bag and said, "I'm just making friends."

"To make friends?"

Tangli calmly took out her brochure, put it gently in Ye Zheng's hand, "What a coincidence, I also just opened a new store, so I can come to the store for a drink if I have time."

It wasn't until this moment that Ye Zheng realized that he had been overthinking it. Scanning the QR code meant simply making friends, which was not what she thought at all.

Damn it, she was almost embarrassed. Fortunately, her face was not completely humiliated.

Ye Zheng squeezed the brochure tightly. The feeling of sadness in her heart was deliberately suppressed by her so that it did not show up. Ye Zheng said politely, "Okay."

She felt that the exchange between herself and Tang Li had come to an end, so she turned around to leave, but her short panda arms were blocked by Tang Li.

Ye Zheng looked at her in confusion, while Tang Li said with deep eyes, "I don't know your name yet."

Ye Zheng's heart was quickly put down after being mentioned, "My name is Ye Zheng, from Ye Zi, from Kite."

The leaves of the tree and the kite with its string broken are all lonely without belonging.

Tang Li let go of her hand and warned, "Be careful on the road."

"Thanks."

Behind Tangli was the hustle and bustle, but she didn't care. She could only pretend to have that clumsy figure in her eyes and heart. Tangli laughed easily and said, "The time for coming here is just right."

Ye Zheng has not yet faced the night that destroyed her, and all the darkness has not happened.

One night, there was a knock on Ye Zheng's door. It was her biological parents who came to the door. They loved her in every possible way and were a lost treasure. Ye Zheng went from resisting at the beginning to integrating into this family. She tasted the beauty of having parents, and every day was a hopeful day.

The room she lived in and the clothes she wore were all prepared by her parents in advance. This made Ye Zheng feel her importance to them and understand that she was not an unwanted child.

However, Ye Zheng discovered that she had a sister who had died four years ago. Her existence was nothing more than a substitute for her parents. Even the name her parents had changed for her was similar to her dead sister.

Not only did they regard her as a substitute, they also wanted her sister's fiancé to marry her because she and her sister had similar eyebrows and looked very different, but they looked very much like her.

Ye Zheng was in agony. She was surrounded by the shackles of affection from her parents and her fiancé who insisted on marrying her. All these things made Ye Zheng want to escape from that home.

But if she runs away, how can she win over her fiancé who has a good family background?

The fiancé took advantage of her by force and blatantly used her as a substitute regardless of Ye Zheng's wishes.

Tangli was that man's suitor, and she naturally told Ye Zheng these secrets. Her arbitrary decisions made her fiancé furious, and he withdrew his investment in her family and disappeared from Binhai City.

In the plot, Ye Zheng's parents are happy, and her fiancé has a wife again. Tangli feels the pain from Ye Zheng's grief, but the protagonist Ye Zheng is in pain.

That's why Tangli is glad that the time for the introduction of this different world is just right.

Tang Li could no longer see the back of the panda, and the music from the street shops echoed in her ears. Tang Li's eyebrows relaxed, and she got the contact information at the first meeting, a sure profit!

She walked slowly and hummed the music on the street.

The woman's black hair, slim-fitting long skirt, and graceful curves as she moves around bring all kinds of charm to a mature woman.

She is looking forward to the next meeting.

Ye Zheng's colleagues looked around and waited for a long time before finally seeing her.

A colleague ran to her side, "Isn't it just a few promotional pages? Why have you been gone for so long? I almost thought you were abducted by aliens."

While the colleague was talking, she saw something in Ye Zheng's hand and said, "Hey, why is there one left? No, it doesn't seem to be a promotional leaflet from our store. How did this thing get into your hands?"

Ye Zheng took it back, put it under her arm, and explained, "I met my colleagues, so I can't just throw it away in front of them."

"Then why don't you throw it away now?"

Ye Zheng thought, "Yes, why don't I throw it away?"

The colleague laughed. This was a trivial matter. She didn't think much about it, so she spread her hands and said, "Congratulations to both of us for getting off work!"

"I won't wear this outfit tomorrow, it's too hot."

The colleague bent down and picked up the panda's hood, "I'll put it on tomorrow."

The two of them walked slowly, and when they arrived at the restaurant, it was already half past nine in the evening.

The store manager heard their movements and took out two bottles of ice-cold coke, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Zheng smiled and declined the iced coke. The store manager frowned and said, "Why are you still handing out flyers when you are not feeling well?"

The colleague stood aside and said helplessly, "You have a bad temper, you are very stubborn."

The store manager sighed but didn't say anything else. She led Ye Zheng and the others to the staff room on the second floor, "Xiao Wang is already cooking in the kitchen. It's not easy for you two. I'll give you an extra meal."

Ye Zheng showed expectant eyes, and the store manager couldn't help laughing.

The restaurant's business was good, and people came to dine upstairs and downstairs. Ye Zheng carried the food into the staff room, took a mouthful of warm rice, and then took a bite of fried bacon. The delicious food in her stomach made her curl up her eyes comfortably.

Suddenly, the beep of the cell phone interrupted Ye Zheng's taste of the food. Ye Zheng leaned over and looked at the cell phone on the table, then continued eating nonchalantly. Before taking a few bites, Ye Zheng put down the bowl and hopsticks to replied to the other party's message.

[I haven't gone home yet, I'm at work. ]

It was Tangli who sent the message. At this stage, Tangli needs to use the power of her mobile phone to express her feelings.

She just asked Ye Zheng what she was doing.

Ye Zheng's recovery speed made Tang Li hold up her cheeks in pleasure.

[It's so late, why don't you get off work? ]

Ye Zheng hesitated and replied her message.

[I'm eating right now. I can get off work after eating. And you? You've gone home now. ]

[I have eaten at the main store several times before. It tastes very good. I believe the branch store will also taste very good. Your work meals must be delicious, unlike me, who is sitting on the sofa waiting for takeout. I'm a little curious about what your work meals look like. Can you take a photo for me to see? ]

Ye Zheng subconsciously arranged her chopsticks and bowl in an orderly manner. She also found an appetizing filter and adjusted the shooting angle several times before sending it.

Her actions aroused the curiosity of her colleagues, who asked in confusion, "Who are you chatting with? You are chatting so enthusiastically."

Ye Zheng didn't even raise her head, "One potential customer."

"You actually still have the customer's WeChat account?"

Ye Zheng held the phone tightly and said sternly, "She added me first."

The colleague chuckled and said, "She added you? Did she take the initiative? Could it be that she fell in love with you at first sight? After all, our little Ye Zi looks very beautiful."

Ye Zheng shook her head without thinking, "As I said, it's just to make friends. There's no other meaning. Don't talk nonsense."

If you use the aura of favorability to describe it, it must be a slightly pink light, just like a stranger who said a few words.

Humph, she doesn't want to let her thoughts wander because of my colleagues' speculations.

Be careful or you will be embarrassed.

She said she liked women, but she didn't know who she would fall in love with.
