Chapter 1 (1/2)
Just into may, the weather has become hot. The sun above is bright and hot, and pedestrians on the road have changed their thin coats and put on their summer clothes.
Today is the first day of labor day. In the square in front of the shopping mall, the sales promotion businesses are arranged in order. Most of them are food stalls that take advantage of the holiday to publicize. The delicacies carefully made send out attractive fragrance and attract pedestrians to stop. With a backpack on his back, Jiang Jiu looks around the stalls with his height advantage. Finally, his eyes are fixed on a stall selling roast pig's feet.
This stall is surrounded by the most people. Jiang Jiu only smelled the fragrance, so he knew it was not bad.
”It smells good.” The lion dragon nestled in the pocket of Jiang's coat poked out half of its head, and its two round cat's eyes longed to stare at the fragrant roast pig's feet. Jiang Jiu looked down at him and saw that he wanted to eat all over his face.
”This month's salary hasn't been paid yet.”
Jiang Shu also wants to eat, but this month's cost of living is very low. His salary will not be paid until the 10th. They really have no extra money to buy snacks. Press back his younger brother who is holding his pocket. Jiang GUI takes back his eyes from the roast pig's hoof and turns away. He didn't know whether he was comforting his brother or comforting himself: ”after going to the restaurant, there will be delicious food.”
Lion dragon obediently ”Oh” a, two round ears disappointed shrug down, but sensible did not make a sound. After all, five brothers just moved out of the house, and it's very difficult for them to support themselves with a monthly salary. He can't make the already unbearable family worse.
The two brothers tacitly forget the roast pig's hoof. They enter the shopping mall and take the elevator to the fifth floor.
——Jiang Jiu has a blind date today.
In fact, Jiang Shu refused this sudden blind date. As an ancient demon who has just moved out of his family economically, but has a huge appetite and has eaten himself out of poverty, Jiang Jiu feels that one more person in his family means one more mouth to eat, which he can't afford.
However, after attending several meetings, the director of family planning office thought that there are too many single demons at present, which is not conducive to the reproduction of demons, social stability and harmonious development of human and demons. As a result, a new rule was made: the demons are not allowed to be single.
For this reason, director Hu specially invited Yuelao to the family planning office to find a blind date for the elder remaining demons.
Of course, this inexplicable regulation was unanimously opposed by the older remaining demons, and the work of family planning office was once very difficult to implement. In order to make a good start, director Hu found Jiang Jiu.
Jiang Shu, as a dragon, has great prestige in the eyes of ordinary demon families. And only a few big demons know that dragon Wuzi Taotie had to leave the Dragon Palace for some reason, and now he is living in human society. Director Hu's family planning office and Jiang's secret service team are under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng demon Management Bureau. As a colleague, he naturally knows that this little Taotie looks bright on his face. In fact, he is very poor behind his back and can't even afford to eat. Those in the Dragon Palace didn't trust this brother and secretly told him to take more care of him.
Director Hu felt that the opportunity to take care of the little glutton came. In order to carry out the new rules smoothly, he set up an allowance for getting rid of the bill. The successful demons can go to the family planning office to get 10000 allowance together. As a great demon in ancient times, Jiang Shu, as long as he plays a good leading role and sets an example for all the demon families, can be rewarded with 10000 yuan. If the blind date is successful, another 10000 yuan will be added.
Of course, the extra 10000 yuan was subsidized out of his own pocket. After hearing this, Jiang Shu was really excited.
Jiang Shu now works in the secret service group. The tasks that the secret service group undertakes are dangerous and highly rewarded. Even the ancient demons who like extravagance are enough to live well. But Jiang Shu is not an ordinary demon. Since his birth, Taotie has the ability to devour all things. This ability makes him strong, but also makes him never have enough to eat. All things in the world are food in the eyes of gluttonous people. In ancient times, Taotie was classified as a fierce beast, which was called ”four evils” together with chaos, poverty, and Taowu. It was because the hungry Taotie ate everything.
Of course, the ancient times go back to the ancient times. Now it's a socialist society, and most of the demons have received nine years of compulsory education and socialist edification. Since he came to the human society, Jiang Shu abides by the rules of the demon clan and is a good demon who abides by the law and discipline. Even if we eat too much, the high bonus of the secret service team is not enough. Moreover, high-level tasks are not always available. They are usually not open for half a year and open for half a year. Jiang Shu can barely make a living on his basic salary.
The bonus promised by director Hu is a lot of money in the eyes of Jiang Jiu, who hasn't been working recently! As long as you go for a kiss, you'll get ten thousand. If you don't go, you won't go.
When you have money, you can buy as many roast pig's feet as you want!
So Jiang bowed his head to the RMB and became greedy. It doesn't matter whether you take off the bill or not. What matters is money.
The elevator stops on the fifth floor and Jiang Shu goes straight to the appointed restaurant.
The location of the blind date is in a very elegant western restaurant. The environment of the restaurant is very quiet, and the staff are warm and polite. Jiang Jiu used to come to this restaurant when he was rich. The high price is proportional to the environment and service. After thinking about the balance of the card, Jiang Jiu felt a little empty.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Jiang Jiu finds the card seat. He sees a young man waiting. He should be his blind date Ying Qiao. According to Director Hu, Ying Qiao is a big man who was invited by her with the help of her grown-up feeling. She is rich and handsome, and she can't afford to be poor. Let Jiang Jiu take good care of it.
Jiang said politely, ”Hello, I'm Jiang.”
Ying Qiao looked at the watch on his wrist. It was just 11 o'clock. His face was a little impatient, his chin was a little bit, and he said, ”I'm Ying Qiao. Sit down. I've already ordered the dishes. ”
Jiang Shu gave a ”Oh” and sat down opposite him. He looked at him without hesitation.
Director Hu didn't cheat him. Ying Qiao is really good-looking. Even compared with his brothers who are very outstanding in appearance, their looks can also rank in the top three. Is the eyes narrow and long pick, lips slightly pursed, looking at not very easy to get along with the appearance. However, Jiang has always had a good temper, and his colleagues in the secret service group are more eccentric than that, so they don't think much of his cold face. Take back the look, like a good baby sitting waiting to serve.
When Jiang Shu looks at himself, Ying Qiao also observes him without concealment.
He was completely forced to come to this blind date. He owed Hu can a favor. This time Hu can asked him to set an example. In order to return the favor, he had to come. Even so, he didn't take the blind date seriously, that is to say, he just went through the motions to deal with it. He didn't even bother to read the information Hu can sent to his blind date.
Looking critically at Jiang Jiu, who is sitting in front of him, Ying Qiao criticizes him from head to toe in his heart. When he looks at his hairstyle, he grabs it with his hands at will, but he doesn't do the modeling; Yellow sweater with black overalls is a luxury brand's new product of the season, but it's wrinkled and doesn't even have ironing. Not to mention carrying a backpack, the whole body is full of childish.
