Band Girl Drink Mixing Action

In the dark night, with old street lights that are not bright enough and even flickering, and the wind whistling from time to time, in such an environment, a clear voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere, which is indeed scary enough.

But this group of people - the same group of bad guys that Miao Meng encountered when he came here in the morning - would not be scared to the point of running away because of this.

What really made them react so violently was the person who said it, a little girl who had a sister who was like a demon.

What did my sister do to them after she opened a shop here?

Even Qingchuan Xiang himself did not expect that his words would have such a good effect. He couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for these guys who had probably been reasoned with by Qingchuan Yu with his fists a long time ago.

"I thought if you wanted to rekindle the old feelings, at most you'd just get together for some drinking and smoking, but I didn't expect you to go so far as to commit a group robbery?"

Qingchuan Xiang, wearing a coat, took a few steps forward, without even looking at the faces of these bad guys, and looked at the man who had just been surrounded and was now kneeling on the ground.

This behavior made the group of delinquents even more nervous, and the leader quickly explained, "Second Miss, you misunderstood! This guy got drunk and collapsed here. We wanted to find out where he lives so we could send him back."

As they spoke, the leader winked and several people worked together to lift up the mud-like man. After helping him up with great difficulty, the man continued to hang his head without reacting, and the smell of alcohol wafted into their noses.

Cheap beer, the cheapest kind that comes in boxes.

Qingchuan Xiang, who was pushed back a little by the smell of alcohol, could tell at once that this guy had probably drunk a lot of cheap, low-quality alcohol. Looking at his clothes, they were probably just street vendor goods.

The image of a drunkard who drinks even when facing financial difficulties is clear enough.

Ok?

Originally thinking of letting these people leave the man here and calling the police directly, Qingchuan Xiang suddenly had an intuition and bent down slightly, wanting to see what the man's drooping face looked like.

Seeing the Second Young Lady stoop so low, what else could he do? The leader of the gang quickly ordered the two men holding the man to tilt his head up so the Second Young Lady could get a closer look.

There is no need to do so... Qingchuan Xiang complained in her heart. She was not really a Miss Yakuza, but it did save her a lot of trouble.

In the dim light, Qingchuan Xiang could barely see the guy's face and knew where his inexplicable feeling came from.

This guy looks like Xiangzi...well, I should say, Xiangzi looks a lot like a man!

Is this drunk guy Xiangzi's father?

Xiangzi, who was unwilling to give up her dignity even in difficult circumstances at her age, had such a father?

Qingchuan Xiang frowned rarely, and despite the smell of alcohol, he walked up to the man, raised his voice, and deliberately used a questioning tone to say:

"Toyokawa?"

As expected, the man had a strong reaction to this surname. Even though he was drunk, he suddenly woke up when he heard this surname. He struggled to open half of his eyes, and then he saw a figure wearing a coat, backlit by the street lamp, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in darkness.

I, I got drunk and got into trouble with gangsters, and got caught...?!

Xiangzi's father shuddered again, and this time he was really scared awake.

Chapter 198 The Gift of the Elves

Obviously the man woke up, but the aftereffects of alcohol paralysis still made his head dizzy and he couldn't think clearly.

You are an adult after all, and you are scared by a little girl in a coat?

Qingchuan Xiang looked around again. The ten or so bad guys around him were now led by their leader. Except for the two brothers who still needed to hold the man, everyone else stood on both sides behind Qingchuan Xiang, with the street lights behind them providing backlight.

Well, it is indeed scary to encounter this scene alone late at night.

Qingchuan Xiang began to worry that if the patrol police came and saw this scene, they would arrest him.

"Can you stand still?"

The man nodded after hearing this, and tried to step firmly on the ground with his originally unsteady steps. However, when the person who was helping him hold up his body relaxed a little, his body slid down unconsciously, but at least he managed to stand in the end.

When Qingchuan Xiang saw the look on Xiangzi's father's face, he could better understand why Xiangzi had struggled so painfully.

Thinking back on the expenses that he usually saw Xiangzi making, Qingchuan Xiang calculated that with the bookstore job provided to Xiangzi, and the fact that his sister had recently given Xiangzi a big raise, it could be said that it was no longer the hourly wage level of a part-time worker. Logically, Xiangzi should have been able to save a small amount of money.

At least she could spend more and eat better. Qingchuan Xiang had reminded her several times that even if she wanted to save money, she had to take care of her health first if she wanted to get back everything that belonged to her.

It seems unlikely that Xiangzi's financial situation will improve now.

Qingchuan Xiang frowned for a rare moment and began to think about how to solve this problem.

There is no good way to deal with alcoholics. Qingchuan Xiang, who runs a beverage store that looks like a small bar, is occasionally troubled by drunk guys. It is very difficult for these people to even communicate with him, and quitting drinking is not something that can be done just by talking about it.

It just so happened that there were a bunch of "thugs" around him now, and Qingchuan Xiang thought that he should try to arouse this man's emotions first, observe him more, and confirm his character before making any plans.

So, Qingchuan Xiang deliberately changed his tone to a somewhat contemptuous one, tilted his head slightly, and pretended to be nonchalant and indifferent to the man. Although he was obviously much shorter than the man, he gave people the feeling that he was more than a step ahead in terms of momentum.

"Heh, a grown man, married into Fengchuan and used to living a life of luxury, but after being kicked out and losing your status, you immediately become a drunkard like this. Aren't you ashamed?

"Or have you always been like this, and are just returning to your true nature? Then I'd have to laugh at the Toyokawa family's perspective."

The man, who was already extremely slow-witted, was ridiculed with harsh words. He couldn't figure out why the other party knew about his affairs, and subconsciously raised his voice to refute.

Qingchuan Xiang was too lazy to listen carefully to what he wanted to say, nor did she think he could say anything good to convince her to change her mind. Xiang only wanted to see the man's condition.

Well, at least he hasn't reached the point where he's numb and insensitive to insults. I just don't know if he still has some blood in him or is simply filled with impotent rage.

Without the patience to listen to the man's defense, Qingchuan Xiang waved his hand, forcibly interrupting his chatter: "Look at you, do you believe what you said?"

"..."

I was immediately taken back by a single sentence. Still quite self-aware.

"Let me ask you, sir, did you earn the money for the wine yourself?"

"..."

"It seems not. So, you don't even have a job, yet you're using other people's money to get drunk, and you still have the nerve to refute my words so brazenly.

"Or perhaps you still have some 'self-respect' left, so you can't accept me telling you the truth?"

The continuous questioning and repeated attacks completely made the man lose the momentum to continue arguing. He just muttered softly: "I have gone to find a job..."

"And you're going to say that you went looking for a job today, and after failing to find one, you got drunk out of frustration?"

Qingchuan Xiang understood why he met Xiangzi's father here today. He kindly helped him complete the subsequent words and successfully silenced the other party again.

This person's current situation is not uncommon. He wants to work hard to do something, but once he encounters some difficulties when actually doing it, he immediately starts to retreat. However, he feels disgusted with himself for giving up so easily.

Once a vicious cycle of self-loathing is established, it is difficult to resolve it solely on your own.

In that case, why not find something for this guy to do?

Under the cover of night, the light of the old street lamp was shaky and becoming dimmer and dimmer, but the moon seemed to be brighter, allowing Xiangzi's father to see the eyes of the person in front of him that were originally hidden in the darkness.

The blue sky, like the sea, seemed to be attracted by the moon's gravity. In the man's dizzy vision, it actually became brighter along with the moon, as if the real sea was rising and surging with the change of the moon's distance.

"Sir, do you want to change the status quo?"

Even Qingchuan Xiang's voice, originally clear and crisp, suddenly took on a sound like the sound of rocks hitting each other, with layers of overlapping echoes, and when it entered the ears, it seemed to have a hypnotic and hazy feeling...

If you ignore Qingchuan Xiang's coat that blends seamlessly into the darkness, and only look at those eyes that make people indulge in the waves, and listen to the vague sounds coming from the distant bottom of the water, you can't help but wonder if you have seen the legendary elves living in the lake... and subconsciously want to agree to what the other person says.

"A job opportunity, a little necessary supervision, is not as great as the Toyokawa family's wealth, but for you who are now poor and destitute, I think it is suitable."

"Then...what do I need to pay..."

It seemed like a piece of pie falling from the sky, but the man’s first thought was not to be relieved. Instead, he swallowed his saliva and felt inexplicably nervous.

These words mixed with honey don't sound like those of an elf at all. They are more like the devil that tempts people.

"Well, what else do you think you can give me?" Qingchuan Xiang asked back with a smile, pointing to the beverage store next to the bookstore opposite which was still lit. "It's simple. The job I'm giving you is in my own store. As long as you work hard, that's the benefit I can get."

"Can……"

"I'll ask you one last time, accept or not."

"I accept……"

"very good."

Qingchuan Xiang narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, which were conspicuous in the moonlight, looking particularly cunning.

Chapter 199 Recent Arrangements

After watching Xiangzi's father leave, Qingchuan Xiang asked the "thugs" around him to help escort him to prevent this guy from falling down on the street halfway.

Before letting him leave, Qingchuan Xiang made some specific requests to him, such as not telling other people that it was Xiang who provided him with the job. Of course, the other people here naturally refer to Xiangzi.

As for some minor details, they are warnings to him, both explicitly and implicitly, not to treat his kindness as something that can be taken or thrown away at will.

He will be asked to sign a contract that cannot be refused and with heavy penalties for breach of contract in the near future.

Of course, how could our lovely Xiao Xiang really do something that only gangsters could do? If the man finally refused and chose to continue in a muddle-headed way, Qingchuan Xiang would certainly not stop him.

But in that case, Qingchuan Xiang would have to do some psychological work on Xiangzi and convince her to move into his house.

And if that guy still dares to shamelessly chase Xiangzi and ask her for money, Qingchuan Xiang doesn't mind spreading the ugly appearance of this former son-in-law of the Toyokawa family who now relies on his daughter for a living, to the extent that the Toyokawa family can hear it.

"What are you thinking about? You have a sinister expression on your face."

When Qingchuanyu closed the shop during business hours, Jianxiang, wearing this outfit, seemed to be quite satisfied with playing the role of the boss behind the scenes. He walked up and tapped the little sister's forehead lightly with a knife.

"It hurts!" Qingchuan Xiang quickly covered his head, his strength broken in a second, "It's nothing."

"I just heard the noise outside from the bookstore. Are those guys making trouble again? If so, I'll go talk to them next time."

"Sister."

After hearing Qing Chuanyu's words, Xiang suddenly became serious and looked at her seriously.

"If you really go and 'talk' to them, our reputation in this area will really become that of the underworld - the Kiyokawa Group."

Please spare those bad guys. Until now, Qingchuan Xiang still can't imagine what kind of torture her sister inflicted on them, so that now they even seem to be in awe of a harmless little girl like her.

"As for..."

Qing Chuanyu muttered to himself, was he that harsh back then?

"Don't worry, they're not making a fuss. They're even helping to lift up a drunk man who collapsed on the side of the road."

Qingchuan Xiang kindly helped to explain to prevent the group of people from suffering an unexpected disaster, and then he never mentioned the dark thoughts in his mind just now.

Qingchuanyu looked at Xiang with suspicion, thinking that this guy must be hiding something from him.

"Go home, go home. It's so hot out here. Even at night you'll be sweating again wearing this."

"Well, it's soaked actually."

The two sisters walked to the station not far away, chatting casually on the way.

"I don't think I will come here in the next few days or even weeks," said Qingchuan Xiang.

"Well, today's live broadcast went well and even became a trending topic. I guess starting tomorrow, after Miss Miao Meng releases this address, a lot of people will definitely come looking for you."

This was something the two sisters had agreed on long ago. After the livestream, Qingchuan Xiang wouldn't come for a few days to cool down the overheated atmosphere. With so many people coming in, there would always be people willing to visit the adjacent bookstore.

Of course, Qingchuan Xiang himself would definitely not miss the opportunity to improve the business of his beverage store. The temporary workers in the store would definitely be very busy in the next few days, and Xiang would also give them an appropriate salary increase.

As for Xiangzi's father, it would be a good opportunity for him to work hard and diligently.

But don't say that Qingchuan Xiang is exploiting others. Xiang is planning to give Xiangzi's father more generous employee benefits.

As long as he wants to drink something, it's okay, you can order any drink in the store and take it, no need to pay, as long as you don't take it out of the store and drink it yourself.

As for that B wine, don't even think about touching it at VA-11. You can get addicted to coffee and tea. Although drinking too much is not good for your health, it is much better than alcohol.

The only person who might need to be paid attention to is Xiangzi. Qingchuan Xiang is not sure how Xiangzi will feel when he finds out that his father works in the store next to her.

He might feel uncomfortable and angry at Qingchuan Xiang for acting on his own, but as long as Qingchuan Xiang insisted that he did not recognize that the man was Xiangzi's father at all, and that the store had simply hired an employee to cope with the peak period in the next few days, Xiangzi would have no way of confirming the truth of his words. Xiangzi's father had already asked him not to tell Xiangzi about this.

As long as Xiangzi believes that it is really his bastard father who has taken the initiative to find a job, Qingchuan Xiang believes that Xiangzi will probably feel relieved.

Oh, it’s kind of funny that a daughter would feel happy about her father.

But no matter what, it's a good thing.

The two got on the tram and sat down. Many people were attracted by Qingchuan Xiang's outfit which was not suitable for the season. Her good appearance made people think it was cosplay.

Qingchuan Xiang, dressed in black, and Qingchuan Yu, who has a toned body and obvious muscle lines, made many people think that they were a pair of partners playing the roles of a gangster lady and her bodyguard.

"So you plan to stay at home for the next few days?"

If Qingchuan Xiang can't come to the bookstore recently, Yu will have to worry about what his sister is planning to do, so that she doesn't wander off to some dangerous place.

"No." Qingchuan Xiang shook his head. "If it's not convenient to go to the store recently, I can go and take care of the band's work. Well, Chuhua came over today. Although I think she was most likely looking for Xiangzi - maybe the water glass Xiangzi gave me and I left on the bar gave her away, but she also told me that Sumimi's music needs to be prepared on the schedule."

"You're quite busy then." Qing Chuanyu was still a little unaccustomed to what he heard. "You were pretty idle most of the time before, even more so than when I just dropped out of school."

"I think..." Qingchuan Xiang thought for a moment, "The biggest difference from before is that now I have a lot of friends who are pretty good friends."

"Oh, a friendship confirmed by Xiaoxiang herself, that's really rare."
