I will never give in to Miss Death

"Do you mean her mother or now little Dolly?"

"Little Dolly now."

I said seriously, "It's the one you said might come tonight or tomorrow."

"She was the last year's running champion. She is the fastest among the more than 200 million horses in the entire Centaur tribe."

Yin Xiamo smiled and said, "Don't even mention the running speed of ordinary people here. Even a cheetah at full speed is no match for her."

A cheetah at full speed... How fast was it? I think it was over 100 kilometers per hour?

As for humans...if I remember correctly, it should be created by that flying man, 44 kilometers per hour, and that is the instantaneous speed, not the average speed.

A girl can run at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour? Isn't this... the same as a racing car?

No, that's not right. You can't look at girls from the other world like that, especially since Dolly is a centaur girl.

“Can they run a marathon?”

"Of course. The marathon here is more than 100 kilometers, right? The prairie we use for the race is a full 42 kilometers long. The record set by Dolly is... converted to Earth time, it's about 39 minutes and seconds."

very scary……

An image of a girl in uniform running wildly on the highway instantly emerged in my mind.

A petite girl, wearing a cute uniform, her feet were so fast that only afterimages were left, almost as fast as the cars on the highway, and she could even easily greet people in the cars from outside - "Hello sir, please allow me to introduce our great leader, she is the racehorse who has bad luck but has created countless miracles, Miss Emperor of the East China Sea."

What would that look like?

"So this kind of small race is just a warm-up for Dolly at best."

Seeing that I was lost in thought, Yin Xiamo rubbed my head and said, "Nuo'er, you should consider how to arrange for her to deliver food every day. I hope she won't find that she's too fast."

How else can this be arranged? Over a hundred kilometers, if a person runs, only an afterimage will be left. As long as we avoid the cameras in the city, who knows what that thing is...

"Does Dolly run steadily?"

Suddenly thinking of this question, I turned to Yin Xiamo: "Will the takeaway be spilled or something..."

"When our magicians, especially forbidden spell casters, need to perform large-scale magic, the stability of the venue is much higher than the level of spilled takeout."

Yin Xiamo shook her head: "Don't even mention the soup spilled from the takeaway. Even if it's tofu... tofu pudding, it will stay the same as it was when it was delivered."

It seems that Dolly is really suitable to be a deliveryman.

It seems I have to work harder too.

Ouyang Xue will be transferred next month. When I take over as the store manager here, there will definitely be a lot more things to do.

"Sister Nuoer!"

Back in the lobby on the first floor, Zhou Xiaofei and Li Denghua had already served all of their Dragon Boat Festival specialties. The two little guys were eating while playing a music game on their phones with one hand each. When they saw Xiaomo and me, they greeted us, "Good afternoon!"

"Good afternoon, both of you."

I walked over and asked, “How does it feel?”

“It’s delicious, with glutinous rice, fried fish and duck eggs.”

Li Denghua sighed, "It's more delicious than the one at home."

"Oh?"

I asked with great interest: "What does Denghua usually eat at home?"

"These are all the meals that my mother made... well, they are not very tasty. If the nanny came over, they would taste a little better, but neither my mother nor the nanny can cook this kind of meal."

Li Denghua pointed at Zhou Xiaofei: "Xiaofei said her grandmother and mother can cook a lot of delicious food. I plan to go to her house to learn tomorrow!"

"pretty good."

For some reason I remembered the story of "The Old Man and the Sea" and I subconsciously said, "By the way, Xiaofei, is your grandma okay?"

"No problem, grandma is in good health."

Zhou Xiaofei said subconsciously: "The large vegetable garden behind our house is usually managed by grandma."

"I heard that your house seems to be near Minami-nagita."

I tried to get the little guy to talk: "Have you ever been to Minami-nagita with your grandma?"

"Minami Nagita? We're not going anywhere near that place. There's no road from our house."

Zhou Xiaofei looked innocent: "My grandma took me there once when I was very young. At that time, people around me said that there was a weird grandfather managing Nan Nagi Tower. My grandma was worried that I would be kidnapped by the weird grandfather, so she didn't let me go there anymore."

"You haven't been there since then?"

"I haven't been there. There's nothing there, just a tower and the sea. We usually walk to the city from another road if we want to buy groceries."

Zhou Xiaofei opened her eyes wide: "Sister Nuoer, do you care about Nan Nagita?"

"Ah... Indeed, I heard that you were familiar with that area before, and I remembered that Minami-nagi Tower seemed to be quite famous here. I also remember that there is a legend of 'The Old Man and the Sea' circulating in the city. Have you heard of it?"

"The legend of the old man and the sea?"

Zhou Xiaofei was stunned: "I haven't heard of it, sister, can you tell us about it?"

"Yeah, I heard from others that I plan to go to Minami-nagi Tower when I have time in the future."

I sat down next to the two children: "This legend of the old man and the sea..."

In the next few minutes, I briefly told Zhou Xiaofei the story of "The Old Man and the Sea" that I had heard, and emphasized that "the old man is still waiting for his wife to come back", and then hinted that Zhou Xiaofei could tell this story to her grandmother.

"When grandma is alone at home, Xiaofei can tell her some stories. For example, the story of the old man and the sea that I heard was told by another old lady."

"Well……"

Zhou Xiaofei seemed to be thinking about something: "Then I will tell grandma about it when I go back. After Sister Nuoer said that, I seem to feel that Nan Nagita has become mysterious again."

"There's nothing mysterious about it. It's just the same old stuff."

I stood up from my seat: "Okay, sister is going to take a break and then continue working. If you want anything else, you can find sister in the massage chair over there."

"All right!"

After saying goodbye to the kids, I went to the massage chair by the window and sat down: "Huh... I can finally take a break."

"Noer seems to enjoy being a big sister."

Under my gaze, Yin Xiamo picked me up like a kitten, sat on the massage chair, and then put me on her lap.

"Now, it's my turn to be Nuoer's confidant big sister."

"..."

……

No. 302 Dolly Dolly, let’s go trick or treating!

After a short break, Xiaomo and I returned to our busy and fulfilling daily work as usual.

Ouyang Xue was dragged out of the coffee shop by Li Chen, and got into a large truck that was usually used to transport goods, which drove away with a hum.

Although Li Chen is considered an "honest man" or a "workaholic" in the eyes of most people, to be honest, his family is not poor.

At least in my impression, as long as Li Chen dared to confess and the other party agreed, he and Ouyang Xue would really be together. Even if Ouyang Xue did not work, Li Chen's salary or "ability" would be enough to support a family.

Before coming to work at the coffee shop, Li Chen was also from Tongmeng.com and had more assets than Ouyang Xue. Apart from anything else, the large truck he drove to work at the coffee shop alone cost hundreds of thousands. It was said that this man had taken many driving tests. In addition to the C1 and B2 driver's licenses required for small and large trucks, Li Chen also had a special vehicle driver's license for excavators and a crane operator's license... Ah, although I don't know why he would learn to drive an excavator.

All in all, this is a very pragmatic and "tough" man, a science and engineering man (in a positive sense).

"Don't say anything, just get in the car with me."

"Get in the car and change your clothes for me. Put me down. What are you doing... Li Chen, put me down!"

"Nuo'er can wear a maid outfit to go back and get something, so what's wrong with you going to the hospital dressed like this? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Are you going to say that you are almost well? Once I let you go, will you continue to go to work?"

"But I'm almost fully recovered. Really. Just now, Nuoer gave me a glass of magical milk. Now I feel like I can beat a triceratops!"

"Oh, are you going to say next that Nuo'er and Xiaomo are from another world, and they used magic to cure your weak and sickly illness? Haha, Ouyang, I won't believe you this time, get in the car!"

"..."

On a warm afternoon, Ouyang Xue was dragged away from the coffee shop.

Then Ouyang Xue's job fell on Xiaomo's shoulders.

This is not a difficult task for Xiaomo, who is a god herself. She is responsible for the first and second floors of the coffee shop. I am responsible for the first floor, and Philo is responsible for making milk tea on the second floor. The three of us "non-humans" can easily look after a shop.

"Have you known about Sister Ouyang's affairs for a long time?"

After briefly taking care of the chores in the coffee shop and comforting the cats who were almost suffering from "wanting to be touched" and "wanted to be hugged" phobia because there were too many people in the morning, I went down to the basement and found Su Yunjin who was still watching the game there among all the bizarre LED lights.

"Hmm? About Ouyang Xue?"

In a large room with graffiti and painted walls, Su Yunjin turned around after hearing my voice and asked, "What exactly are they?"

Although this room is called the "Five-Person Area", there are at least twenty people crammed into this huge room at this moment.

Because Gabriel is here.

This room has a disc in the middle and five computers arranged in a five-star shape on the outside of the disc. These computers all use the previous high-end monitors, and colorful lights are installed behind the monitors that can synchronize the monitor content. In addition, these five computers can synchronize with the thundercloud layout and various LEDs behind and above the heads, which is particularly cool and high-tech.

I knew nothing about computers before, but in the past few days I gradually began to force myself to learn and get in touch with these contents. Then I discovered... the person who designed this e-sports area is really a genius. Human imagination can really be extended to this extent.

There is a "thundercloud" on the top of the room, which is the kind of cotton lamp I saw when I first came here. There are LED lights and some metal sheets that can reflect light buried under the cotton. When the lights are turned on, the cotton will flash like a cloud. There are also some small chairs for rest and a small table for drinking tea next to the room, and there are corresponding atmosphere lights on the walls.

I originally thought that these lights only served to illuminate and create a cyberpunk feel. Although the thunderclouds above were magical, they would only flash on and off to set off the atmosphere. Later I found out that this was not the case. These light tubes and thunderclouds also had another use, which was to link with the content on their respective computers.

For example, in a shooting game, when the enemy hits you, red bloodstains begin to appear in your field of vision, and the light tubes behind the computer monitor, the lights under the glass floor of this computer which is one of the five-star lights, the LED atmosphere lights behind it, and the thunderclouds above your head will all turn red.

Similarly, when playing games like "Genshin Impact", when drawing cards, if you draw a gold one, a golden light will flash. At this time, the display screen and the light tubes behind it will flash golden light, and even the thunderclouds above your head will turn golden, as if announcing to everyone in the room that the owner of this computer has shipped a product, which is very immersive.

I used to admire the design "details" of the coffee shop, but I really didn't expect that their designers could make the underground e-sports area so detailed.

"Ouyang Xue actually can't stand cats."

Because we were playing a game, the atmosphere in the small room was a little tense, so I raised my voice a little: "That's why you transferred her away."

"Oh, that thing."

Su Yunjin suddenly realized: "My uncle's generation also said it recently. Ouyang did live broadcasting before coming to our company, and... a lot of unpleasant things happened at that time. After I knew about it, I had this idea. Isn't it taking advantage of the fact that the company recently allowed us to open a branch store and let Ouyang go there."

"what?"

After saying that, Su Yunjin looked at me with curious eyes: "Did I do something wrong?"

“Ah… not really.”

I turned my face away: "Since it is the company's decision, I can't say anything. It's just that I have to walk a long way to meet Sister Ouyang in the future..."

The distance between the commercial street and the coffee shop is actually not far, but if Ouyang Xue goes there, they will no longer be working in the same place. It is a pity that she cannot work with such a good friend after making such a great effort.

By the way, Su Yunjin doesn’t seem to be as “capitalist” as he looks.

I originally thought that a "smiling tiger" type like him, like most bosses, would not be so meticulous in considering his employees. At least, it is impossible for a normal boss to take the initiative to learn about an employee's past, explore his preferences, and check what he has experienced... But Su Yunjin did all of that.

"And the one that Ouyang Xue went to talk to you guys..."

After a moment of silence, I tried to speak to the "general manager" of the coffee shop in front of me: "It's about the ownership of the coffee shop. Can you tell me what the people above think?"

I'm not quite sure what the original equity structure of the coffee shop was like. It was registered in the name of Ouyang Xue. The catering service license, business license and health license that we hung on the wall for display to the public are all owned by Ouyang Xue. It seems that it would be difficult for Tongmeng.com to intervene if it insisted?

Of course, I don’t know much about this aspect. After all, I have never run a company or a restaurant.

But I have the impression that most things in the coffee shop seem to be funded by Tongmeng.com, including buying the land, building the house, and arranging the various props in the store. These would cost at least tens of millions. Xiaomo Elodie and I all came here to work, but Ouyang Xue plans to let us have "controlling shares"?

"In the beginning, this was just an experimental base. Almost no one was optimistic about this project. Ouyang was asked to come here only because the company did not need too many people to manage logistics at the time."

Su Yunjin thought for a moment and said, "It's almost like... Ah, Ouyang, you are a veteran of our company. We see that you don't have much work recently. Why don't you try to open a restaurant at the entrance of the commercial street? If it works well, it will be a great achievement. If it doesn't, it won't matter. With your name, you can do whatever you want..."

It turned out to be the case.

Is that why Ouyang Xue was afraid that Tongmeng.com would become jealous of the coffee shop's fame and use various means to take over the restaurant?

"Actually, you can rest assured about this. You and I are old friends. Even in the past, if Tongmeng.com or my father really had this idea, I would have tried to persuade them. Especially now..."

I blurted out, “What’s going on now?”

"Now? You are a celebrity around Mayor Ye, and you are also a celebrity on the Internet. How dare my dad and the others do anything? Even if Ouyang doesn't say anything, this store will probably be yours in the future."

Is there really such a dreamy thing?

An employee becomes a store owner?
