Volume 1: The Escape of the Holy Maiden Chapter 28 The Master of the Cat
I agreed with the customer who entrusted me to find the Thunder Shadow Cat to meet in a café two blocks away from the Masterhouse.
That's right, two streets. Do you still remember how the author introduced Chu Yuesheng's Wanshiwu at the beginning? "Eight streets away next door is the location of the headquarters of the United Government of Mankind." With a simple addition and subtraction, this café is only six blocks away from the official residence of the Union Government Headquarters.
Every inch of land around the headquarters of the United Government has been fully utilized by human beings, especially the four nearest streets, almost all of which are government agencies, and only then have some commercial outlets begun to be located. Among them, this coffee house is not necessarily the closest to the coalition government, but it is definitely one of the best, and no one knows if there are any high-ranking officials of the coalition government among the customers who are taking care of the business of this shop here.
The appointment to meet here probably reflects some of the customer's background.
Don't look at Chu Yuesheng's residence is quite close to here, but his range of activities is basically expanding outward with his back to the official residence of the coalition government, and rarely comes closer to the inside, so this coffee house is not only the first time he has come here, but even the first time he has heard of it, fortunately, if you don't look at the geographical location here and the possible background of the customers, the decoration here is no different from that of an ordinary coffee house, and even the price is quite close to the people.
The cheapest, a cup of authentic bitter coffee with no sugar and creamer, turned out to cost only seventeen credits.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the price list above that was enough for her whole family to eat, and once again fell into the turmoil of values. Seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao was at a loss there, Chu Yuesheng also thoughtlessly skipped this little girl with her own ideas, and helped herself, Gong Zimeng, and Gu Xiaoxiao all order.
What Chu Yuesheng wants is a very simple mellow coffee, that is, bitter coffee with sugar and creamer, which is the most classic because it is the most popular.
Gongzi dreams of milk cap iced coffee, after all, she likes to drink milk.
Minors are not suitable for ingesting coffee, coffee, and in, so Gu Xiaoxiao got a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Absolutely fresh green pure natural oranges, the big guy watched the clerk take them out of the refrigerator and put them in the juicer, and when he drank it with a straw in his mouth, the refreshing and cold sweet and sour taste made Gu Xiaoxiao, who had never been able to eat organic synthetic food, show a light of surprise in his eyes.
Compared to the dry taste of synthetic food, the well-being that natural food can provide is another level entirely.
By the way, because the ingredients include two natural oranges, Gu Xiaoxiao's orange juice is the most expensive of the three drinks, with fifty-seven credits. Of course, Chu Yuesheng took away the price list, so Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know that the cup of iced juice she was holding was worth half a day's labor remuneration from her father. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have drunk so happily, making the Thunder Shadow Cat who was placed by her side a little jealous.
The Thunder Shadow Cat waved its paws, patted Gu Xiaoxiao's ribs, and looked at it with a blank eye, wanting to taste what it was, making this shovel so happy.
Just when Gu Xiaoxiao was hesitating whether the Thunder Shadow Cat's stomach could absorb orange juice, the doorbell of the coffee house jingled again and made a pleasant sound. Everyone in the café looked towards the door, only to see a successful woman in a trench coat who looked cool and stylish pushed the door and walked in.
Behind this lady was a little boy wearing a camouflage beret with a somewhat cold expression on his face.
As soon as the pair entered the house with a combination of mother and son or aunt with their nephew, they locked the table of Chu Yuesheng and walked straight over.
Chu Yuesheng stood up and greeted him.
"Hello, I'm Chu Yuesheng from 'A House of Everything'. Is it your commission to find Thunder Shadow Cat?"
"Hello......" When the woman shook hands with Chu Yuesheng, she hesitated slightly, but still held Chu Yuesheng's outstretched hand.
Her hands are a little cold, and they are not well-maintained and tender, so to speak, just like her dress, which gives people a very stiff feeling.
On the contrary, it was the little boy who walked directly to Gu Xiaoxiao's side, stared at the Thunder Shadow Cat that was being half-held by Gu Xiaoxiao, and said in a commanding tone: "This is my cat, give it back to me." ”
"Meow!" the Thunder Shadow Cat let out a very shrill cry, and the hair on its body instantly stood up, and the static electricity started to start.
Gu Xiaoxiao was also electrocuted by the Thunder Shadow Cat, but fortunately, she was originally next to the Thunder Shadow Cat, so her hair was only a little divergent from the electricity, but she was not hurt by the arc.
The eyes of the adults were attracted by the meow of the cat, and what they saw was the scene where the little boy tried to snatch the Thunder Shadow Cat from Gu Xiaoxiao's arms. But this little boy is six or seven years old, although Gu Xiaoxiao is not big, but the girl herself develops earlier than the boy, even if Gu Xiaoxiao is thinner, her physique is much older than the little boy. The Thunder Shadow Cat was held in Gu Xiaoxiao's arms, and the little boy used a lot of strength, but there was no way to shake Gu Xiaoxiao's arm.
The woman frowned at the little boy's unfriendly behavior and whispered the little boy's name.
"Wen Hao, this is not home, don't make trouble. ”
Reprimanded by his parents, the little boy had to honestly let go of the hand holding the Thunder Shadow Cat, but his eyes were still fixed on the cat's body. Of course, Gu Xiaoxiao was also staring at him nervously, afraid that he would come and snatch his cat again.
The farce between the children soon ended, and the next time was for the adults to negotiate.
"Beauty, sit down first. There are a few questions I need to ask before handing the cat back. After speaking, Chu Yuesheng handed the price list that had been put away by himself to the woman and asked her to look at it herself.
But the other party didn't seem to intend to appreciate it, so he directly pushed the price list aside and looked at Chu Yuesheng.
"Mr. Chu, I don't understand your words very well, can you explain them in detail?"
As I said earlier, Chu Yuesheng's Wanshiwu has a very good reputation in this small circle. The work is crisp and neat, and the success rate is also very high, as a commission house whose main business is to find lost pets, these two points alone are enough.
I have never heard of Chu Yuesheng finding a pet and deliberately not returning it, do you want to temporarily add money? As soon as she thought of this, the woman's vigilance was raised. But then, she looked at Gong Zimeng and Gu Xiaoxiao beside Chu Yuesheng, and felt that this should not be the case. I haven't seen someone who still has his family with him when he broke the contract, isn't this showing them his shameless side?
So, what exactly does Chu Yuesheng want to say?
