Mona's tone sounded a little worried. Thinking of what they had accidentally heard the other party say in the previous communication, the three of them couldn't help but worry about it.
"No, I just wore this temporarily to promote the store where I work part-time."
"Ailian, where do you work?"
Rin looked worried and wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, leaving Airen at a loss for how to explain for a moment.
If I say I'm working in Zhe's shop, will people mistakenly think I'm doing something special or sentimental? No, that's absolutely not allowed!
Ellen's sense of shame told her not to answer like that.
"It's just an ordinary, decent little shop. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would keep asking..."
"Ailian, does the place where you work have a legal business license? Also, does Zhe know about this?"
Mona asked carefully, and Rin beside her also noticed some problems.
"This uniform is so exquisite, is it really a temporary promotional uniform?"
(By the way, Ellen's maid outfit is worth 200 million dinnels, so she's really willing to wear it to play with Zhe.)
“Is it really legal where you work?”
Ruby was very worried, but you know what, it didn't seem to be that legal...
At this moment, Zhe also came over, and seeing that the situation seemed to be developing in an unpredictable direction, Ailian noticed Zhe and pulled him over.
"To tell you the truth, Zhe is the boss of the shop where I work part-time."
Rather than letting Ruby and the other two continue to speculate, it would be better to be misunderstood as playing some weird Prey game. After all, it did happen...
"What's going on? What happened?"
Zhe asked Ailian beside him in a low voice, and the latter gave him a look and spoke at the same time.
"They don't believe I work in your store."
Although she said this verbally, Ailian's eyes clearly revealed "Help me deal with this quickly". After seeing Zhe, Mona scratched her cheek in embarrassment.
"Um... Zhe, we just ran into Ellen by chance and saw her wearing a maid outfit. She said it was the dress code at the shop where she works part-time, so we were a little worried..."
"That's right! Why would a respectable video store ask its employees to wear maid clothes... Um, ah! Could it be that..."
When Ruby said this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and her face turned a little red. Rin and Mona beside her also seemed to think of something.
The three of them exchanged quick glances, and seeing that he seemed to be misunderstood, Zhe immediately began to explain.
"I just wanted to promote our store, so I asked Ellen to dress cutely while handing out flyers!"
"So what you mean by 'cute' is a maid outfit? Yeah, I see..."
Lin didn't continue talking. After all, this might just be a trick the two people on the opposite side came up with to provide emotional value for both parties. As outsiders, they shouldn't care about this.
Besides, Ailian didn't seem unwilling...
"Stop teasing Zhe. Today's event is really just for promotional purposes. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have finished the promotion and returned long ago."
"Well, Airen, we understand. Don't worry, there's absolutely no misunderstanding. Do you need our help with publicity? I've done similar work before! Although I didn't wear a maid outfit..."
It's a good thing to help with publicity, but could Ruby please stop mentioning the maid outfit?
“As for publicity… there are a lot of people around some popular stores here, so maybe we can try to promote them.
Ah… there’s a tea and milk shop we often go to that’s having a promotion. Hey, Ruby, don’t run so fast—Ellen, let’s go there first. See you at the tea and milk shop!”
Seeing the three people running out in a hurry, Ailian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, thanks to you for helping me out. I went to do a commission earlier and didn't have time to change clothes. I didn't expect to run into them as soon as I arrived at Guangying Plaza.
If you hadn't shown up, they would have been making a fuss for quite a while."
"I should be happy to have a friend who cares so much about Ellen. This way, I'm sure I won't be bullied at school."
"Huh? Bullied? Me? Are you serious?"
It was normal for Ailian to say this. After all, from childhood to adulthood, apart from having few friends, no one dared to bully her.
This is normal. After all, she is good-looking and has good grades. Although she doesn't communicate much with others, her tone is not weak, so she will only be labeled as cold.
Then we came to the tea and milk shop, and saw Ruby and the other two surrounding the shop assistant Coco.
"Ruby, stop sticking to the shop assistant..."
"Waiter, it smells nice...it's the taste of full sugar tea milk...let me smell it..."
“…So shameful…I really want to run away…”
Faced with Ruby coming closer, Coco's face turned red with embarrassment. Seeing this, Ellen immediately stepped forward to rescue her from Ruby, and then asked politely.
“Can you put some brochures here?”
"Propaganda, propaganda, propaganda?! Help me? Wait, wait, you are..."
Keke was very nervous, but when she noticed Zhe, she couldn't help but be stunned.
She remembered that the other party often came here to buy tea and milk. He had become a regular customer of the store, and he would bring a girl with him every time. If she counted carefully, she couldn't count the number of times he had come.
Now he brought four of them at once. Is this really possible?
Coco thought in surprise, and seeing that he didn't fully understand, Ailian explained.
They were going to put the video store's flyers here, and in return, they would promote the tea and milk shop in the school. Coco reacted after hearing this.
"No no no no no!"
Coco was very excited, but then she realized that she had not explained herself clearly, so she quickly added.
"I mean, you can put up flyers, but you don't have to help me promote the tea and milk shop recently... You guys have helped me a lot before... I don't have much to give in return..."
"Is that so?"
"Well... you guys have recommended a lot of people to come here before, I'm already very grateful! Just give me the flyers for the video store later, I'll put them somewhere conspicuous~"
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Also..."
Coco looked at Ailian in front of her and opened her mouth to speak, then looked at Zhe beside her. At this time, she finally understood.
Among the four girls, only Ailian has a close relationship with Zhe, and she understands that she should not interfere in the affairs of the guests.
But wouldn’t it be better to remind the girl who is helping me?
"what?"
"That is, about..."
"No, I can't stay here for even a second, otherwise I'll have to buy sugar tea and milk again! Ailian, the store I often go to is also very convenient for promotion and has a lot of traffic!
Anyway, I'm going first, you guys hurry up and follow me!"
After saying this, Ruby quickly ran away, taking Mona and Rin with her.
Chapter 344: Eating human sons doesn’t count as cannibalism, right?
Seeing this, Ailian did not follow immediately, but looked at Coco who was hesitant to speak. However, at this moment, Zhe's phone suddenly rang.
The latter took out his cell phone and saw that it was a message from Keleda, which roughly meant "I'm free tonight, I'd like to sleep at your house."
Coco swore that she really had no intention of peeking. It was simply a matter of angle and she accidentally glanced at it.
Then, in her somewhat shocked eyes, Zhe gave an affirmative reply.
However, she was not the only one who noticed this message. Ailian obviously noticed it as well, but she just glanced at it and continued to look at Coco without any concern.
"What did you just want to say?"
"No... no, it's okay. Welcome to come next time..."
Until she left, Ailian still hadn't figured out what Coco was trying to say. As for Zhe beside her, although he understood it, he didn't explain.
The two then came to the store that Ruby had mentioned before, which was a grocery store. When they arrived, Ruby had just bought a bottle of drink.
"Wa ...
"Thank you for your patronage—"
"Rin, don't read it again and irritate her."
At Ruby's instigation, Ailian also bought a bottle of new drink. When she opened the bottle cap, she found -
"Ah... I got it. Another one."
"Huh? Why is this happening?! Is my luck that bad? I've been buying for a month straight..."
"Uh... Ruby, you've never been hit once? That's hard to imagine..."
The probability of winning a prize if you order another bottle of this kind of drink is not too low, but the probability of not winning a prize if you drink it for a month is very low.
"No, no, it will definitely be different if I buy another bottle! Zhe, please! Go buy it for me!"
Because Ailian had just won the lottery, Ruby felt that the probability of her helping to win again was very low, so she approached Zhe.
The latter didn't refuse and bought Ruby another bottle. As expected—eh? It turned out to be "Another bottle"!
"Zhe—as expected of Ellen's boyfriend!! Woo—he shares the same luck as her!"
Ruby was very excited, but Ellen beside her seemed a little sleepy, nodding her head and speaking in a weak tone.
"That's enough publicity, let's go home... let's go back."
Ailian realized that she had subconsciously spoken her true feelings and quickly changed her words. Fortunately, Ruby and the others didn't hear anything wrong.
"Okay, let's go!"
"Don't you guys still need to discuss group work? I'll catch up with you later."
"I want to go to the video store and make videotapes. This can also help us broaden our ideas for homework topics! You won't turn us customers away, right?"
It was difficult to refuse at this point, so the group returned to the video store.
"Pick whatever you want to see."
Ailian used the tone of someone who had met a good friend while working, although in reality it was just like that, without any impatience, but also without the slightest enthusiasm.
Ruby didn't care about it, but looked at Ellen in front of her who was wearing a maid outfit.
"Ahem, no such thing!"
"Which one?"
"It's [Welcome home, Master. You've worked hard today.]"
Sorry, we are not slaves, the market doesn’t have that... Ha, just kidding.
"Welcome home, Master. Please pay your hard work fee for today before entering."
In order to go along with her friend's joke, Ellen replied in a slightly perfunctory tone, and Ruby couldn't help but complain about it.
"This is a video store, not a maid cafe, right? Why does it require an entrance fee? No, maid cafes don't charge entrance fees, do they?"
"Just know that this is just a place to rent videos. I'm only responsible for introducing videos to you. Call me if you see any videos you like."
"Then Miss, I want to watch an inspirational movie! Can you recommend one to me——"
Ruby quickly changed her tone, and seeing this, Ellen pulled out a videotape and handed it to her.
"You're such an unprofessional clerk! You just randomly picked one and gave it to me... Never mind, let me see what this is... 'Shark Tooth'? What's it about?"
"Let me check out the synopsis—oh, it's an inspirational film."
"Are you sure?"
Seeing that Elaine hadn't even taken a serious look at the introduction, Ruby started making up stories.
"Well, it tells the story of a little shark who went through all kinds of hardships in the deep sea and finally grew up to become the overlord of the ocean and ate a lot of delicious food."
“Is that really the case?”
"Well, that's a good story."
"But it says 16+ Thriller... Manager Zhe, is that the plot of this movie?"
Ruby pointed at the font on the introduction, looking at Eileen with a look that said, "Are you really not lying to me?", and then looked at Zhe who was standing beside her.
"Well, everyone interprets movies differently, so Elaine is right!"
