Chapter 704: Missing? Theft?
Didi Di Di –
Lu Yiyun was woken up by the alarm clock and fumbled to turn off the alarm clock.
Five minutes later.
Ding Ding Ding Ding –
She was woken up by her phone's alarm again.
In order not to oversleep in the morning, she put her mobile phone on the dining table before going to bed, unless she has a two-meter-long arm, she can't turn off the mobile phone alarm from the bed.
She rubbed her eyes and fumbled for her glasses from the pillow to put them on. Jasmine lay on her bed, woken up by her movements, jumped out of bed, meowed, as if to say good morning, and then went to the basin to drink.
"Good morning, Jasmine. She yawned.
Next, get dressed, get up, wash, soak cereal...... The day-to-day movements have become habitual and can be done without the need for brain intervention. It wasn't until she sat down at the table at the dining table and desk that she scooped up the cereal and put it in her mouth, and her brain gradually recovered from her sleep.
Jasmine also eats breakfast at her feet, which is much more expensive than she is in terms of food costs.
Compared with ordinary girls of the same age, she can skip the step of makeup before going out - on the surface, it is only a step, but in fact, it saves 1 hour, because she can also save the process of removing makeup when she gets home.
Save 1 hour a day, and save 15 days a year.
If you can live for 75 years, you can start learning makeup at the age of 15 and you don't need to wear makeup after the age of 75, and you can save 2 and a half years in 60 years.
The two and a half years of my life have been spent on smearing my face, and I really want to say to my face: You have worked hard!
She can do a lot of things in this 1 hour, such as drawing.
But she's now more accustomed to painting in a pet store than locking herself in her home behind closed doors, another reason ...... After all, her comics are based on Zhang Zi'an as the protagonist, handsome and muscular clothes to engage in a base man or something, it's easier to draw the character prototype, right?
After she and Jasmine finished breakfast, she cleaned the bowl and bowl, put it in her backpack as usual, and then put on a pen tablet and set off for the pet store across the street.
She and her next-door neighbor left the house at the same time, and they were both familiar to each other, and she tried to open her mouth to say hello and say "good morning", but in the end she timidly did not say it, lowered her head, and covered her eyes with Liuhai.
The other party is the same, embarrassed to pretend to be blind.
This is more or less the case with neighborhoods in modern society.
The houses in the old-fashioned residential areas are not good, they are short, small, trendy and dark, and the people who rent here basically don't have much money, but that's fine, no one should look down on anyone.
In fact, with her current income from illustration and part-time work, she can afford to rent a better house, but there is no need to waste money, anyway, the house is just a place to sleep.
She left the entrance of the community, and the smell of breakfast wafted from the Li Supreme Cat Suck snack bar on the right.
"Good morning. ”
Someone greeted her, and the voice was three.
She looked sideways, it was Tingting and Xiaozhuang, they came to the snack bar to volunteer again, every day, it was almost half a month, as long as they persisted for about ten days, they succeeded.
Tingting and Xiaozhuang were standing outside the snack bar talking to Sun Xiaomeng, probably Sun Xiaomeng was evaluating the sincerity of their adoption.
Sun Xiaomeng's expression was a little tired, the dark circles under his eyes came out, and he shouldn't have slept well last night.
"Good morning. Lu Yiyun replied in a low voice.
She didn't continue to disturb their conversation, looked at the vehicles on the left and right, and trotted across the road.
The roller shutter door of the pet store was not opened, and it was usually open when she arrived.
She pulled the key out of her pocket, unlocked it, and pushed the roller shutter door up with a little effort.
Pulling open the floor-to-ceiling glass door, everything is normal in the pet store, but it is too quiet compared to usual, and the gray parrot that is always noisy is not there, according to Zhang Zi'an, he entrusted it to a friend to raise it together with the cats and dogs during his time abroad, because his friend likes them very much - he didn't say which friend, and she didn't ask.
She took Jasmine out of her backpack and let her play freely in the store, and then carefully cleaned the cash register, mainly to wipe off the dust on the keyboard, mouse, monitor, POS machine, invoice printer and other equipment, and then sat down on the chair at the cash register, connected the pen tablet to the computer and prepared to draw.
As for the cleaning work in the store, they will do it together when Wang Qian and Li Kun come to work, and they usually come a little late, because they always play games and play late.
Although the comic she serialized on Weibo only had one or two words, the response was good, better than what she had serialized before, and today she plans to draw a draft of the third episode.
Scribbled a few strokes, then erased them all, and a few more strokes, erased again.
Somehow, she always felt a little awkward, and she couldn't calm down to paint, and she didn't usually feel like this, like ...... Something was missing. But the last time Zhang Zi'an went to the United States, the store was almost quiet, and it didn't affect her painting.
She looked up and looked slowly around the store.
Frolicking kittens, cat climbing frames, display cases, puppies in display cases, shelves, ......
After a week of inspection, she suddenly noticed something awkward and couldn't help but be stunned.
The statue of the cat god sitting across the cash register is gone.
Thinking that she hadn't woken up yet, she quietly pinched herself, it hurt, but the cat god statue was still not there.
What's going on? I was still there before I got off work yesterday.
Her heart panicked, was it a thief in the store? But the roller shutter door was well locked, and there was no sign of being picked. The small change in the cashier drawer is still there, although it is not much, but the total amount is also hundreds, what thief came in and did not steal the money, but stole the heavy bronze statue?
It would have been fine if the statue was a work of art or an antique, but she had heard Zhang Zi'an say that it was just a replica and not very valuable.
Did Wang Qian and Li Kun deliberately hide the statue and joke with her? They think she's very wooden, has no value in joking, and never jokes with her.
Moreover, there was only one key to the roller shutter door, she was the last to leave yesterday, and Wang Qian and Li Kun had no chance to hide the statue under her nose.
Her heart was pounding, and she left the cash register, trotted over to the statue, and crouched down to take a closer look.
There is a light white mark on the ground, which is different from the color of the surrounding floor, indicating that the statue has been in this place for a long time, but now it is gone.
The statue is made of pure bronze and is so heavy that no one moves it when it comes to cleaning.
When she first saw the statue of the cat god, she thought it had a very strange shape and a very gloomy color, but after seeing it, she felt okay, and many customers were also very interested in the statue when they came to the store, and even asked if the statue was sold. Zhang Zi'an tweeted that the statue was an opening gift from someone else, and it was inconvenient to sell it, but Lu Yiyun felt that he didn't think the price was high enough......
By the way, this statue is an opening gift from Xiaoxue, why don't you ask Xiaoxue to see where she bought it from, and are there any other ones of the same style?
Lu Yiyun wanted to pay out of his own pocket, buy a statue of the same style and put it in place, and pretend that nothing had happened. The statue of the cat god disappeared during her visit to the store, and she didn't want Zhang Zi'an to think that she was guarding and stealing it. Although she doesn't have much money, she never steals, and she doesn't want to be suspected of having unclean hands and feet.
She took out her mobile phone, found Xiaoxue's WeChat ID, and after thinking about it, sent a message: Xiaoxue, good morning. Remember where you bought that cat god statue in the store?
Since exchanging WeChat with Xiaoxue, this is the first time she has taken the initiative to send a message to Xiaoxue.
After clicking send, she waited on her phone, confused.
Did Xiaoxue get up so early? I heard that the anchors are all night owls......
She didn't wait long before she received a message from Xiaoxue, which was a voice message.
Clicking on the message, Xiaoxue's voice came from the speaker of the mobile phone, with a little laziness, as if she had just gotten up.
"Good morning, Xiaoyun...... Cat god statue, I want to think about it...... Ah, I remember, I bought it at a second-hand store called 'Asamono Yushi', well, that's it...... Come on, go down in a moment!"
In the voice, Xiaoxue's mother could vaguely hear the sound of Xiaoxue's mother calling her downstairs to eat, the voice was very distant, it seemed that Xiaoxue lived with her parents, and the home was not small.
Lu Yiyun didn't care about anything else, and typed again: How much did you buy it?
Xiaoxue sent a voice again: "How much is it...... Forget it, maybe thousands, right?"
A few thousand yuan is okay, Lu Yiyun can afford it, she breathed a sigh of relief, and typed again: Is there only one cat god statue in the store? Is there a second one?
Xiaoxue: "No, no, there is only one in the store, there is no second one." I remember that the boss was a very personable old man, and he was not so much selling the statue as giving it to me, and saying something about the spirit of the gods, and his little shop couldn't stop it...... It's been a long time, I don't remember exactly. ”
While Xiaoxue was sending a voice, her mother called her downstairs to eat again, and she responded impatiently.
Hearing that there was only one such statue, Lu Yiyun's disappointment was beyond words.
Xiaoxue: "Xiaoyun, why did you remember to ask this?
Lu Yiyun: It's okay, I just remembered it by chance, Xiaoxue, go to dinner quickly, don't let your mother wait too long.
Xiaoxue: "Well, I'm getting up...... Snowball, go down, don't press on the quilt...... By the way, Xiaoyun, Mr. Store Manager is going abroad, right? Everything is okay in the store?"
Lu Yiyun: Everything is fine, Xiaoxue, you don't have to worry.
Xiaoxue: "That's good, I'll go to dinner!"
Lu Yiyun sighed, there is no way to compensate now, he can't compensate if he wants to, so he can only tell Zhang Zi'an truthfully, hoping that he won't treat her as a thief.
She found Zhang Zi'an's WeChat, hesitated several times, and sent him a message: I'm sorry, Mr. store manager, the cat god statue in the store is missing......
