Chapter 1 Chapter 1
As May began, the weather was already hot. The sun was bright and hot above my head, and pedestrians on the road changed into thin coats and put on summer clothes.
Today is the first day of Labor Day. Promotional merchants in the square in front of the mall are arranged in an orderly manner. Most of them are food stalls that are promoted during the holidays. The carefully prepared food exudes an attractive fragrance, luring pedestrians to stop. Jiang Qing carried her backpack and looked around the stalls with her height advantage. Finally, her eyes were fixed on a stall selling roasted pig trotters.
The stall is surrounded by the most people. Jiang Luan only smells the fragrance coming from, and knows that the smell is almost the same.
"It smells so good." The squid nestled in Jiang Qing's pocket poked out half of her head, and her two round cat eyes stared at Jiaoxiang's seductive roasted pig's trotters longedly. Jiang Qing looked down at him and saw that the little boy's face was full of words that he wanted to eat.
"The salary has not been paid this month."
Jiang Qing also wanted to eat it, but she had little living expenses left this month, and her salary had to be paid on the tenth day. They really had no extra money to buy snacks. They pressed their younger brother who was holding his pockets back, and Jiang Qing took back his eyes stuck to the roasted pig's trotters and turned and left resolutely. He didn't know whether he was comforting his younger brother or comforting himself: "When I go to the restaurant, there will be something delicious."
Wu Yan obediently said "Oh", and his two round little ears shook down in disappointment, but he didn't say anything sensible. After all, the fifth brother had just moved out of his home. It was already difficult for him to support himself every month, and he could no longer make the already overwhelmed family worse.
The two brothers tacitly forgot the roasted pig's trotters behind their minds, entered the mall, and took the elevator to the fifth floor.
——Jiang Qing made an appointment with someone to go on a blind date today.
Jiang Qing actually refused this sudden blind date. As an ancient monster who had just moved out of his family with financial independence, but had a very big appetite and had lost herself to poverty, Jiang Qing felt that one more person at home means one more mouth to eat, and she really couldn't afford it.
However, after attending several meetings, the director of the Family Planning Office believed that there are too many single demon races at present, which is not conducive to the reproduction of the demon race, and is even more unfavorable to social stability and the harmonious development of the human and demon races. Therefore, a new rule was formulated: the demon race is not allowed to be single.
For this reason, Director Hu also specially invited Yue Lao to take charge of the family planning office and wanted to find a partner for the older leftover demons.
This inexplicable rule was of course unanimous opposition from older left-over demons, and the family planning work was once very difficult to implement. In order to make a good start, Director Hu came to Jiang Qing.
As a dragon son, Jiang Qing is still very prestigious in the eyes of ordinary demons. And only a few big monsters know that Long Wuzi Taotie had to leave the Dragon Palace for some reason and now makes a living in human society. The family planning office where Director Hu works and the special service team where Jiang Qing works are under the jurisdiction of the Jiangcheng Demon Management Bureau. As a colleague, he naturally knew that this little Taotie looked bright and beautiful, but in fact he was very poor behind his back and often couldn't afford to eat. Those who were worried about this brother in the Dragon Palace even secretly asked him to take care of him.
Director Hu felt that the opportunity to take care of Xiao Taotie came. In order to successfully implement the new regulations, he established a single-minded allowance. The demon clan who successfully got single-minded can go to the family planning office to receive a 10,000 allowance. As an ancient monster, Jiang Qing can only take the lead and set an example for the demon clans, and if the blind date is successful, another 10,000 will be added.
Of course, the extra 10,000 yuan subsidy was subsidized by him from his own pocket. After hearing this, Jiang Qing was indeed moved.
Jiang Qing is now in the special service team. The tasks taken by the special service team are also highly dangerous and bonus. Even the ancient monster who likes extravagant is enough to live a very comfortable life. But Jiang Qing is not an ordinary monster. Taotie has the ability to swallow everything since its birth. This ability makes him powerful, but it makes him never full. Everything in the world is full of food in the eyes of Taotie who cannot eat. In ancient times, Taotie was classified as the "four evil spirits" together with Chaos, Qiongqi, and Taotie, because Taotie was hungry and ate everything.
Of course, from ancient times to ancient times, today is a socialist society. Most of the demons are qualified monsters who have received nine years of compulsory education and socialism. Since Jiang Qing arrived in human society, she has abide by the rules of the demons and is a good monster who abides by laws and regulations. Even if she eats too much, the high bonuses of the special service team are not enough. Moreover, high-level tasks are not often available, and they often don’t open for half a year, and they eat for half a year. Jiang Qing can only rely on her basic salary to barely maintain her life.
The bonus promised by Director Hu is a lot of money in the eyes of Jiang Xun, who has not been given a task recently! As long as you go to have a kiss and go through the motions, you will have 10,000 yuan. It will be useless if you don’t go.
When I have money, I can buy as much roasted pig trotters as my brother wants!
So Jiang bowed to the RMB and came to greed. It doesn’t matter whether they get out of singleness or not, what matters is money.
The elevator stopped on the fifth floor, and Jiang Qing headed straight to the agreed restaurant.
The blind date was in a very stylish Western restaurant. The restaurant environment was very quiet and the staff were enthusiastic and polite. Jiang Qing came to this restaurant when she was rich before. Its expensive price was proportional to the environment and service. After thinking about the balance in the card, Jiang Qing felt a little worried.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Jiang Qing saw a young man who was already waiting, and he should be his blind date Ying Qiao. Director Hu said that Ying Qiao was the boss she invited with a favor. She was rich and beautiful, so Jiang Qing must be careful.
Jiang Qing politely greeted the other party: "Hello, I'm Jiang Qing."
Ying Qiao looked at the watch on his wrist. It was not too much time, and it was just eleven o'clock. He felt a little less impatient on his face, and he lit up his chin and said, "I am Ying Qiao, let's sit. I have already ordered the dishes."
Jiang Qing said "Oh" and sat down opposite him. His eyes looked at him without any hesitation.
Director Hu did not lie to him. Ying Qiao was indeed good-looking. Even compared with his brothers with outstanding appearance, he could also rank in the top three. He had narrow eyes and raised his lips slightly, and looked like he was not easy to get along with. However, Jiang Qing had always had a good temper, and his colleagues in the special service team had a more weird and difficult temper than this, so he didn't care about his cold face. He withdrew his gaze and sat and waited for the food like a good baby.
While Jiang Qing was looking at him, Ying Qiao also observed Jiang Qing without any concealment.
He was completely forced to come for this blind date. He owed Hu Can a favor. This time Hu Can made a mistake again and asked him to take the lead to set an example. In order to repay the favor, he had to come. Despite this, he did not take this blind date seriously, just to deal with it in a formality. He was too lazy to read the information about the blind date that Hu Can sent him.
Looking at Jiang Qing sitting upright opposite, Ying Qiao was picking the other person from head to toe in his heart. He looked like he grabbed his hairstyle with his hands at random when he went out, and he didn't even have the style; the yellow sweatshirt and black work pants were a new season style from a luxury brand, but it was wrinkled and not even ironed. Not to mention that he was carrying a backpack, and his whole body was filled with tenderness.
Ying Qiao thought casually that he was probably a young man who had just entered society. He had some money at home, but he had no taste. Fortunately, his face looked good, so he didn't feel like wearing big brands in street stalls. He had big eyes and double eyelids, and his lips were a bit fleshy. He looked like a good boy, and he had a very likable look.
He was as picky as Ying Qiao, and when he looked at this face, he couldn't help but feel more patient.
The waiter brought the appetizers and main courses one after another. Ying Qiao was not interested in talking, and Jiang Qing didn't know what to say on a blind date, so she had a meal in silence.
The dishes in this Western restaurant are very good. Jiang Qing ate very seriously. He also took advantage of Ying Qiao's attention and fed the steak cut into small pieces to the steak in his pocket. The steak is at home, and except for the peppercorns, he is the youngest. He has been unable to transform into a human form since he was found, and he has also retreated back to his weak cubs and needs someone to take care of him. He used to like to stick to Jiang Qing the most. When Jiang Qing left the Dragon Palace, he also followed him with arguing. When Jiang Qing took him to the Demon Management Bureau to register information, he also specially used the same surname as Jiang Qing, named Jiang Mi.
The steak was tender and juicy. Jiang Huang took a bite by himself and fed the steak. He thought Ying Qiao hadn't noticed it, and even the corners of his mouth were curled with a happy curve.
Ying Qiao saw all this in his eyes, and looked into his pocket with a faint look. It was a fist-sized lion cub, with yellow-brown fur, semi-circular ears, and golden pupils in the shape of almonds. If it were human, the expression of eating was about the same as Jiang Qing who was secretly fed. He said "tsk" in his heart and couldn't help but re-evaluate Jiang Qing.
He originally thought that the blind date that Hu Can arranged for him should not be too bad. But now it seems that he took it for granted. Jiang Qing was obviously just an ordinary and even a little down-and-out little lion monster. During the blind date, he didn't forget to take his younger brother to eat and drink, and his financial situation should be very embarrassing. Looking at the wrinkled luxury brand on his body, Ying Qiao rarely laughed at himself and had some mistakes. This is probably a copycat. That is, Jiang Qing looked so good that she wore the copycat with the demeanor of a big brand.
Unexpectedly, the life of the ordinary demon clan was so difficult. The iron-hearted heart of Ying Qiao couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. He pretended not to notice, and after they finished eating a whole piece of steak, the waiter gave the dessert, he cleared his throat and talked about the serious matter. His original plan was to reveal his identity and let the other party retreat. But now, looking at the two brothers who were in a down-and-out manner, he rarely felt a little soft-hearted and could not bear to hurt the little monster's self-esteem, and at the end he changed his tactful and tactful words to persuade him to leave.
"After finishing the meal, let's talk about their own situation first." He stretched out his limbs, sat upright with his body, crossed his long legs, leaned slightly to stare at Jiang Qing and said, "I am an orphan of the snake tribe. I work in a private company, have no house or car, my salary is 3,000 yuan per month, and I will not pay the five insurances and one fund is too expensive. Where are you?"
Ying Qiao looked at Jiang Leng's shocked expression and felt slightly satisfied. Saying this would not stimulate the self-esteem of this little monster, but it would also make him give up on blind dates. He could also deal with the noisy Hu Can. He would beat three birds with one stone.
Jiang Veng looked at Ying Qiao in shock, but what he thought was that Ying Qiao was so poor and dared to eat in such an expensive restaurant. He was definitely a loser, and they couldn't do it!
It was already very difficult for him to raise himself. Ying Qiao's salary is so low and it is so luxurious. Even a 20,000 allowance cannot make up for the gap between them. Jiang Qing changed his mind and quickly responded to the words. He was not good at lying, so he lowered his eyes and half-true and followed Ying Qiao's words: "I work in Hanyang Street Office. There is no temporary worker. He earns 80 a day. There are eight brothers in my family who rely on me to support him."
Ying Qiao looked at Jiang Qing with a complicated expression. Jiang Qing was probably the poorest demon he had ever come into contact with. His daily salary was 80 yuan, enough for the two brothers to have a meal? No wonder he had to secretly feed his younger brother on a blind date.
If it weren't for the words he had already said, he would have wanted Jiang Qing to work in his company. Even if he was an ordinary clerk, he would have made a lot more money than a temporary worker. However, after he had already said the words before, he would not be able to slap himself in the face, so he frowned and looked embarrassed: "I want to find a stable job partner, you...we are afraid that it is not suitable."
Jiang Qing didn't expect that his social animal, who earns 3,000 a month, would dare to despise him as a temporary worker, but this would be what he wanted. He pursed his lips and said, "It's not suitable."
The two looked at each other and said relievedly: "Then let it go?"
After reaching a consensus, the two of them were ready to go back to their homes. Before leaving, Ying Qiao unexpectedly took the initiative and readily, and asked the waiter to pack a dessert for Jiang Ryu to take back. Jiang Ryu said thank you and took the dessert, took a look at the bill, and said a little embarrassedly: "Add WeChat, I'll transfer the meal to you."
When he said this, his face was calm and his heart was bleeding. He ate his remaining ten days of living expenses. But when he thought of Ying Qiao's salary of 3,000, he was not as shameless as he asked Ying Qiao to pay the bill alone.
"No..." Ying Qiao subconsciously wanted to refuse, and suddenly remembered that he had just become a poor person. He swallowed up the words on his lips and added WeChat to him silently.
Jiang Qing added him on WeChat, transferred the money, waved goodbye to him, and left in the elevator with his bag on his back.
Ying Qiao's WeChat rang, and Jiang Qing's transfer was on the WeChat interface, and a cute cat-headed emoticon pack was attached. Ying Qiao paused for deleting his friend's hand and changed it to add a note to Jiang Qing. Then he put away his phone and took the elevator from the other side to the parking lot.
