Age of Chaos [Gaiden] Lucky Shop
[I've been unlucky lately, and I can only go out once a day, but every time something bad happens...... Please be a person, no, be a god, I wish there was a good luck store near my house! 】
There is a good luck store on Shinwon Street not far from my apartment, and I heard that anyone who buys the good luck package in the store can easily get good luck.
I scoffed at this, I don't believe that there is such a good thing in the world.
This morning, I got up as usual to get ready for work, but when I was washing, I realized that there was no water in the faucet, so I had to go to the water dispenser in the living room to prepare for some water, but there was not even a drop of water in the water dispenser, which was really unlucky.
But luckily I'm not a girl, I just cleaned myself up and went out.
I went to a roadside food stall for breakfast, and in the face of a steaming breakfast, I was finally in a better mood. But I never expected that I would drink a dead cockroach in the eight-treasure porridge.
I resisted the urge to slap the table and called the boss over to be a scolding with a head and face, and the boss stood there nodding and bowed, and accompanied him vigorously, but what is the use of this!
However, more bad luck is yet to come.
When I got on the bus, I somehow slapped a beautiful girl in front of me.
"Stream...... Rogue! ”
The whole car was looking at me, but I really didn't do anything! I was about to explain, but I didn't know which bastard pushed me so hard that I was pushed out of the front door and almost fell. At this time, the door slammed shut, and I clearly saw a middle-aged man in the car looking at me with a smug face.
"......" I was angry.
As a result of missing the bus, I would be late for work.
A bitter face came to my mind, it was my supervisor, as if everyone owed him a million.
"Phew......" I spat the ground.
"Hello, you can't spit, a fine of twenty." At this time, a people's policeman patted me on the shoulder and handed me a slip.
……
Eventually, I decided to go back to my apartment and sleep on it all day, fucking the director.
But when I was going back to my apartment, I came to the door of the good luck store by mistake.
After a moment's hesitation, I pushed the door open and walked in.
I looked around the store and saw that it was so small. There was only a wooden counter with a computer on it, and that was it, and behind the computer sat a woman with her head down. I looked around again, there were two metal chairs in front of the white wall on the left, and the right side was empty, only a billboard hung on the wall, which read: Your satisfaction is our service tenet, I wish you good luck.
When I saw this slogan, I was devastated, there was a typo on it, and I began to regret how I entered this store!
But when they came, I went to the counter and tried to ask, "I heard that you can sell good luck here?" ”
"Oh yes." The woman raised her head when she heard this, and smiled a little surprised, "I beg your pardon, I didn't expect to have guests so early!" ”
The woman is about thirty years old, wearing a pair of black-rimmed eyes, and she looks very temperamental.
"How?" I continued.
She lifted her glasses and introduced them very skillfully: "We have a total of three packages, the first is a one-day good luck experience package, the current surprise price is 100 yuan, this package is specially prepared for new users, guaranteed to be worth it." The second is a month-long good luck package, because our store has just opened, and it is still in the promotion period, so the preferential price is 5,000, from the current customer's purchase strength, all customers who have purchased our experience package, most of them will choose to buy this package again. Finally, the third is the Good Luck Package, which is a lucky package that we tailor to the wishes of our customers, and we will provide lifetime service, with a dream price of 100,000. ”
After listening to it, I was shocked by the dream price.
The female clerk said at the right time: "A good fortune may be able to change our lives, so in order to serve the public, and in order to let everyone know about us, our store has specially opened the first package, the price is not expensive, the most important thing is that as long as it costs only 100 yuan, you can experience the good luck that can't be stopped." ”
Hearing her say that, I was a little moved.
"Can it really bring good luck?"
"Fake one pays ten."
"Okay, I'll buy an experience package and try it!" I didn't hesitate any longer and took out a hundred-dollar bill from my wallet and gave it to her.
"Wait a minute, it'll be right away." After the woman put away the banknotes, she asked me some basic information while typing something on the computer keyboard, and finally heard a "ding dong", and a palm-sized square suddenly popped up on the wall behind her, and she took out a silver half-moon pendant.
"It's a lucky pendant, you just have to wear it." The woman handed me the pendant, "Be sure to wear it!" However, you should know that this pendant is only valid for one day, after which it will expire, and you can keep it as a souvenir at that time. ”
I took the pendant with some anticipation, and I wore it around my neck as I walked out of the store.
"Welcome back and good luck."
I had just walked out of the store when my phone rang.
I picked up my phone and looked at it, and I was a little annoyed that it was my supervisor calling.
"Hey......" I said in a cold tone.
"Xiao Li, why didn't you come to work today?" The Director asked, but his tone sounded strange.
"I have a cold."
"That's the case, then don't come today, just rest at home. Well, otherwise, I will grant you a week's leave, when the cold is cured, when you will come to work again, it is still very detrimental to work when you are sick. ”
I wonder if I heard me wrong, shouldn't he have been angry and angry?
"You...... What did you say? I asked confusedly.
"Hehe, Xiao Li, that's it, pay more attention to rest." The supervisor just hung up.
I was still a little dazed, and I couldn't imagine the supervisor talking to me with a pleasant face.
Could it be - I subconsciously looked at the pendant on my chest.
I immediately called my colleague Zhao Shuang.
"Hey, Zhao Shuang."
"Hey, Brother Li, why didn't you come to work?"
"I have some things, by the way, I didn't ask for leave, what did the director say today?"
"He, don't say it, it's a little strange today, he found me and asked you something."
"What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, it's just some that don't have, and I don't know what medicine he sells in his gourd. Ao, by the way, he also mentioned Mr. Li, he asked me when you interviewed at that time, was it Mr. Li who personally checked it, you wouldn't have offended him again, right? ”
"Oh, probably not!"
After hanging up, I thought about an incident that happened yesterday when I got off work. Here's the thing, yesterday I added an hour of shift, when I was about to get off work, I happened to meet Mr. Li who had just finished a meeting, he asked me why I got off work, I told the truth, and then he shushed me for a while, which flattered me, of course, the point is, the supervisor was also present at that time.
I thought of a possibility, could he misunderstand what I had to do with Mr. Li?
"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth......" I hummed a song, and my mood suddenly became better than ever, so I decided not to go back to the apartment, how could such a good mood be wasted on sleeping?
I took a taxi to a movie theater in the center of the city, because there was a sci-fi movie that was hitting.
Although it was morning, there were a lot of people in the cinema, and it seemed that there were still a lot of idlers like me who didn't work, and of course, there were more young men and women in pairs, and I was somewhat uncomfortable sitting among them.
This sci-fi film is very long, and it is very burning and exciting, it is about the growth history of a little person, and I watched it very devotedly, until the end of the screening, I was still excited about the dick man in the movie who has been obscure, but accidentally counterattacked and became a superhero.
"Why are there no easter eggs?" That's probably my only grievance.
Later, I picked up a wallet in the small square outside the cinema.
This is a lady's wallet, I opened it and looked at it, there were a few hundred-yuan bills in it, and an ID card, the name on it showed that it was Zhang Xiaomeng, but there was no contact information in the wallet.
I looked around for a while, thinking about whether to take the money and leave, when I heard a timid voice behind me ask, "Hello, this is ...... This is my lost wallet. ”
I turned around and saw a beautiful girl in a white dress.
"What's your name?" I asked her.
She stared at me in surprise and didn't say anything for a while.
"Hey, I'll ask you!" I held my wallet and shook it in front of her eyes.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm ...... My name is Zhang Xiaomeng. She said with some panic.
"Oh, then you take it." Seeing her somewhat silly appearance, I suddenly felt a little ashamed of my idea of taking the money and walking away in the first place.
I shook my head and was about to leave, only to hear her say nervously, "Wait, I'm ......"
I turned my head and said, "What's the problem?" ”
"Oh no, I ......" she bowed to me suddenly, and said, "I'm so sorry!" ”
I was a little puzzled, but I waved my hand to show that it was nothing, and then she squeaked and said, "I'm so sorry, I ...... I slapped you on the bus in the morning, and that's my fault, yes...... I'm wrong about you! ”
I suddenly remembered, yes, that girl was wearing a white dress.
"I'm so sorry, that hateful person has been arrested by everyone, and I blame you wrong." As she spoke, she bowed to me again.
I can't afford to be angry, and anyone who sees such a beautiful girl apologizing incessantly will be soft-hearted.
I waved my hand again and said, "It's nothing, don't take it to heart!" ”
She looked at me with some gratitude, "Thank you, or I'll treat you to a meal!" ”
How could I refuse her!
We went to a nearby restaurant together and chatted while eating.
I'm not a very humorous person, but when we chat, she always smiles very understandingly, which makes me feel like a spring breeze. So, we quickly got to know each other as if we had known each other for a long time.
Before leaving, we had already added WeChat to each other.
I put her in a cab and she smiled and waved at me, looking at her charming smile, I felt like I had fallen in love.
Ten minutes later, I received her WeChat.
"Woo, I'm home, but I forgot the key at the company, and I'm unlucky to die......"
"Do you want me to accompany you to the company to pick it up?" I replied this way because I knew she had just been fired from the company.
"No need, I'll go by myself, thank you!"
"Hmm."
I put my hands in my pocket with a good heart, and I felt as if I had the whole world in my heart.
I didn't go back to the apartment, but went to the Good Luck store again.
By this time, there were already four or five people in the store, so I had to wait in line, and when it was my turn, the saleswoman recognized me immediately.
"It's coming again so soon?"
"yes, I'm going to buy an all-you-can-eat package." I smiled at her and said the purpose of being here again.
"Well, it looks like you're very appreciative of our service." She didn't look surprised.
Zhang Xiaomeng came to my mind, "Yes, I'm very satisfied." ”
In this way, I successfully bought an all-you-can-eat package with one month's salary, and I want to seize this opportunity to continue my good fortune, because I have already tasted love. As I was leaving, I saw the slogan "Good luck to you" again, and this time I thought it couldn't have been more correct.
The next day, we had dinner together outside, and I took her hand when I took her home.
And in the following month, the relationship between us quickly warmed up, and when the month was almost over, we had privately decided that the two of us would be a lifelong event.
This morning was the day we agreed to go to her hometown to see her family, so I went downstairs to her apartment early. I called her, but the electronic tone on the phone showed that she hung up my phone.
I didn't think much of it, and after a while I called her again, and this time she answered, but the first thing she said confused me.
"Let's break up!"
By the time I came back to my senses, the phone had already hung up.
I was full of doubts, I didn't know why she said this, I felt that something must have happened, so I didn't bother to call again, so I ran straight into the apartment building, because the elevator showed that it was busy, so I ran up the stairs in one go, and by the time I got to the tenth floor where she lived, I was already sweating.
I walked up to her door, took a few deep breaths, and then rang the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened, but what appeared in front of me was Zhang Xiaomeng, with unkempt hair and a tired face.
"You...... What's wrong? ”
But she threw herself into my arms and sobbed and cried. I lovingly picked her up and patted her on the back until she finally stopped sobbing.
She nudged me away, then turned around and sat down on the couch, stunned.
When I came to her, she suddenly said, "Let's go, let's not meet again, in fact, we are not suitable." ”
My body suddenly trembled and I asked angrily, "Why is it not appropriate?" ”
She just said sneeringly: "You know, since I first met you, I have been under a spell, and I have been experiencing bad luck one after another, first I lost my job, then I lost my wallet, and then I forgot to bring my keys when I came back, and when I was chatting with my girlfriend, we had a big fight for some reason, and many, many more...... In short, there is not a day that I am not riddled with bad luck, although I can forget about those unhappiness for a while when I am with you, but it all happens after all, how can I not care? ”
I couldn't say a word, I knew some of the things she said, but I never thought about it carefully, it turned out that these blows to her were so great that my anger disappeared, and I became extremely distressed.
"You go first, I want to be alone." She said weakly.
Eventually, I left, and my heart became extremely heavy. I think about what has happened in the past month, and it all feels like a dream, and how did it all start?
Ah, I think today is the first day after that month!
A thought popped into my mind, and I felt like I had been struck by lightning and stiffened.
Then, despite the danger, I almost jumped into the middle of the road, stopped a taxi that was moving, and then shouted to the driver, "Quick, take me to the Good Luck Store on Shinwon Street." ”
When I arrived at the Good Luck store, I rudely pushed away the people in the queue and walked directly to the female clerk and asked loudly, "Why does my good fortune come at the cost of my loved one's bad luck?" ”
The female clerk was a little panicked in the face of my questioning, and she said a little sneeringly, "Ah, this, this...... It's not what you think. ”
"Isn't it? But this is true, and why does everything change as soon as the package expires? "I almost yelled.
At this moment, a door suddenly opened behind the counter of the store, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked out, he first introduced himself, saying that he was the manager of the store, and then very politely and gentlemanly invited me in to talk in detail, and said that whatever happened to me, he would take care of it.
Eventually, I followed him inside.
He let me into a single sofa, politely poured me a glass of water, and then listened quietly to my story, and explained to me unhurriedly: "The world is inherently unfair, and since you have gained good luck because you have bought good luck from our store, then it is natural that someone needs to bear the bad luck that should belong to you, and this person will be one of the countless people you have met, and of course, from this point of view, the world is extremely fair." ”
I interjected, "But why is it my loved one!" ”
The manager smiled slightly and said calmly: "This can only mean that you are actually inappropriate!" ”
I was a little angry and stared at him unkindly, while he calmly continued, "If you firmly believe that you should be together," at this point, he paused and smiled mysteriously, "then of course you should be together!" ”
I was a little stunned.
"But only if you have to do something." He added.
"Do what?"
"It's very simple, you just have to ask her to buy a good luck package, and then all the problems will be solved."
"And what happens after the package expires?"
Instead of speaking, he took a sip of water and looked at me with a smile.
I suddenly understood what he meant, he wanted me to buy the dream package!
I laughed too, and I calmly stood up and walked over to him and punched him in the nose.
Watching him bleed from his nose suddenly filled me with joy.
That's when my phone rang.
"Hey, Director."
"Don't come to work in the future!"
