Chapter 121
The central avenue of Jianghai City is very prosperous.
It’s not just the architectural style that is different from the old city, but also the excitement during holidays.
Central Avenue.
As the name suggests, it is the central area of Jianghai City and also a commercial area.
Business, entertainment, culture, and colleges and universities are all concentrated in this area, and it is also an area with a high incidence of weird cases.
Today is Double Eleven.
The temperature has become very low, but this cannot change the bright and lively atmosphere dedicated to the festival.
Double Eleven is not a big festival.
It’s just that I don’t know the reason. Many merchants in the country offer discounts and promotions on this day, which makes this street very crowded, like a stream of people.
Lin Que has received more than ten advertisements along the way.
He is also in a good mood, and seems to be infected by this cheerful atmosphere – perhaps, he also bought a lot of things during the online shopping last night.
Online shopping always makes people happy.
His wallet has long been bulging, and now he not only has nothing to worry about, but he can even be said to be very rich.
but……
Can’t compare to that “noble” Alice Apocalypse.
It was just a momentary interest, so Alice bought a large storefront in a place where every inch of land is very expensive like Central Avenue.
When he knew about it.
He severely belittled the ugly style of Western capitalists, and then wished to replace them.
“The Destiny Detective Agency?”
This is the name of the newly opened office.
The passers-by stopped and looked at the gorgeous signboard curiously. The foreign characters on the signboard made them confused and subconsciously stopped.
People are always wary of things they don’t understand.
It’s just a detective agency… Although Chinese people often see detectives in various film and television dramas and animations, this is the first time in real life.
What does this firm do?
Really solve the case like on TV?
“What are you doing here?”
Someone was curious.
Immediately, someone answered.
“From exorcising demons and killing ghosts to divination, fortune-telling and geomantic omen, you can find everything! Today is the opening day, and all orders will be discounted by 20%…”
The door of the office.
A few young and beautiful girls, probably high school students.
They were wearing uniform and beautiful uniforms, and each of them held a stack of business cards in their hands, and distributed them to everyone passing by.
Pretty girl handing out leaflets.
No matter how impatient passers-by are, they will subconsciously pay attention to it. This is a good publicity strategy.
Lin Que pushed the door expressionlessly and entered.
On the deep-grained wooden floor, the flower baskets hanging from the ceiling are occasionally sprinkled with fluffy pollen, falling into the sunlight, and then falling to the tabletop together with the sunlight.
The shopkeeper is making coffee.
The rich aroma slowly floated up.
There is also a phonograph in the corner that I don’t know where to find, singing old records.
——Am I going abroad?
Probably, this is the first psychological reaction of every local who walks here.
This detective agency…
Maybe it really has the painting style of Baker Street.
Maybe he was the first one to walk in today. The owner’s tone was full of enthusiasm.
“Welcome to my detective agency, you need to—”
The petite figure sitting on the large sofa turned his head to look.
He met Lin Que’s eyes.
Enthusiasm suddenly turned into laziness.
“It’s you, then it’s all right.”
Alice was looking left and right in a makeup mirror.
After she put on a light layer of foundation, she tugged at her neckline—today’s Miss Alice changed into a black gothic loli skirt with white buttons, and a dark-colored shawl outside.
Under the round collar is a white lace floral shirt.
The colors are simple black and white, but she wears it with a complex feeling of full dress.
Of course, a white, fluffy beret must be worn on the head.
She stood up and posed a few poses in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror beside the counter.
After confirming that she was still the cutest in the world, Alice showed a satisfied smile.
“As expected of me, it’s so cute.”
Lin Que: “…”
He has never seen such a narcissistic person.
“Today is your opening, and it’s also Xiaonan’s first day at work. She should be here… Where is she?”
Alice pointed.
Lin Que looked in the direction of her finger.
It was the corridor inside and outside the hall, and the faint aroma of food came from the corridor.
“This is……”
“Little Nannan is in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for me.”
What the hell is Xiao Nannan called?
Fortunately for Lin Que at this moment, this black-bellied adult loli didn’t call him a little bit…
Otherwise, he would be in a bad mood.
“I remember that you recruited Xiao Nan as an assistant to guide Xiao Nan…not to make her a cook who only knows how to cook, Miss Alice.”
Miss Chu is determined to become a strong person!
Could it be that you really want to change jobs and become a cook?
This is a bit too fucked up.
“What do you take her for?”
“Xiao Nannan is my assistant!”
“what about me?”
“Thugs…”Well, the division of labor is clear.
Lin Que sat on the sofa opposite her and looked around.
Not far from the counter is a huge bookshelf with many books on it.
On the other side of the bookshelf, there is a wallpaper painted with golden patterns, and there are many collectibles placed under the wallpaper.
Large beehives, spider insect specimens, and animal specimens such as owls and peregrine falcons.
Lin Que lowered his gaze.
The closest collection to him is a shellfish specimen.
In addition, there are essential rosemary pots.
The scent of butter-boiled mushrooms and butter-fried cod are scattered in the light floral fragrance.
Alice seemed to enjoy this smell quite a lot.
She waited for a while, but still hadn’t waited for the business to come. She did not know where to take out a whistle toy played by children.
It’s the kind of rolled up ribbon.
As long as you put it in your mouth and blow it, the ribbon will straighten and make a beeping sound.
“Beep beep!”
“Miss Alice, I didn’t expect that you are not only small, but also have a lovely childlike innocence.”
Alice didn’t feel shy in the slightest because her childish behavior was seen.
On the contrary, she was quite proud of herself.
“Because I never grew up.”
“Are you eternally seventeen?”
“What, Alice is only fourteen years old this year, the best fourteen years old in a girl’s life… Don’t get me wrong, my handsome and reliable assistant No. 2.”
“How dare you say it… But let me tell you, you are really cute today.”
“thanks. .”
Alice is very useful.
She has heard too many compliments like this.
But the same words are completely different when they are spoken by different people.
She won’t feel the slightest compliment from a passer-by, Lolicon. She will only think that it is an undoubted fact, and no one else needs to emphasize it.
But from Lin Que, it’s different.
This is a powerful and noble man, an oriental man whom she deeply admires.
So she would think so.
——As expected of me, my charm is unparalleled.
——As expected of you, you have a noble aesthetic.
She smiled smugly.
Then he continued to whistle, and the color bar stretched straight.
“Beep beep!”
“By the way, what are your plans for today?”
She chuckled and said, “I’ll get acquainted with the working environment in the morning. If there’s no business before noon, I’ll go to a nearby store to check my watches.”
“what about me?”
Lin Que pointed to himself.
“Of course I stayed in the office to guard the door. If any guests come, please help entertain them. Xiao Nannan definitely can’t do it alone.”
She said it as a matter of course.
Cruel Western capitalists exploit employees mercilessly.
But Lin Que obviously didn’t like this.
He raised his eyebrows: “Oh, unfortunately, I suddenly remembered that there is still something to do in the special class, so today…you may have to stay here by yourself.”
Alice panicked: “I’m your boss.”
Lin Que smiled: “But I’m your boss!”
She put down her whistle sullenly.
The outcome is clear.
In the land of China.
A superior in a public office can crush a capitalist’s subordinate.
very nice.
…
After eating a Western-style breakfast made by Chu Xiaonan, Lin Que smiled at the two girls.
Then he stood up and prepared to go to the special class.
The appearance of him in a formal suit made Alice feel dazed.
The few times she saw Lin Que in the past, he was always dressed casually.
Now I’m putting it on suddenly, and I still feel a little uncomfortable…
A white shirt and stiff trousers.
A pair of low-key 1.0 restrained custom leather shoes.
Appears decent and stylish.
Plus that handsome face that looks more and more attractive the more you look at it.
Don’t say it.
It seems that he is really handsome?
“I’ll take a step first.”
Alice suddenly said, “What’s going on in the special class today?”
Lin Que reached out to find the dark coat in Chu Xiaonan’s hand, and replied casually, “Today is the day when new colleagues join us, I almost forgot.”
He suddenly remembered something.
There was a bright red flash in his hand.
He held a cane with a strange pattern in his hand, [Desperate Cane] This thing is very good for pretending to be a gentleman.
“How? Do I look like Sherlock Holmes?”
Alice snorted and said, “I’ll buy you a Derby hat later. That’s Sherlock’s standard accessory. I remember it’s sold on No. 77 Street, Xidan, Yanjing. I hope it’s available here too.”
“I’m so grateful.”
I do not know how it is.
It was obvious that Lin Que and Alice were friends and colleagues, and there was no ambiguous or intimate tone when they spoke.
But Chu Xiaonan felt that…
sour.
It feels a little sour.
It is the acid of love, and also the acid of vinegar jar.
