Jessica's stubborn temper suddenly came up. She expressed that she didn't believe in this evil. Can a mere piece of tofu be so awesome?
So Richard was eating quietly in the narration, while watching this poor piece of tofu change from one piece to two pieces, then to four pieces, 16 yuan, 32 yuan
Jessica seemed to be on the fence with the tofu, and she didn't eat the meal, not even when Richard suggested that she change the spoon.
After a while, until he was almost finished eating, Jessica finally gave up.She snorted, and pointed to the piece of tofu that she had squeezed into pieces: "What's so delicious about this kind of thing?"
Afterwards, she stopped touching this mapo tofu and turned her attention to other dishes.
Richard watched.In all fairness, Jessica's progress is indeed not small, at least the basic movements of picking vegetables and grilling rice are actually not a big problem.It is estimated that she has worked hard these days.It's just that she was unlucky, and bumped into the boss right after leaving Novice Village
After eating, Richard cleaned up the dishes and prepared to wash the dishes.Jessica looked at the side for a while, and couldn't help but said, "How about I help you?"
"No, no." Richard smiled.After all, after collecting the food expenses from others, the service must be a full set.
Jessica leaned against the door and watched, hesitated for a while, and said, "Then why don't you teach me how to cook?"
Richard gave her a surprised look.
What's going on here?Coach, I want to learn how to cook?
Jessica really felt embarrassed. Although she knew that she had deducted the food fee for eating here, she always had the feeling of stretching out her hands to eat and opening her mouth, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Richard smiled: "Okay, of course. But the teaching fee is extra."
Jessica's face darkened, she turned her head and went back to the room.
Sorry for disturbing you!
After the addition of the super killer "Bullseye", the gang war provoked by Jin Bin finally came to an end.The remaining families in New York suffered heavy losses, and several families even lost their supreme leaders.The remaining families had no choice, and finally, led by Yinmane, who survived by chance, agreed to Xiang Jin and bowed their heads.In the end, the rest of the gangs became Kingpin's affiliates, and Wilson Fisk became the real overlord of the New York underground world.
Richard doesn't care about these things, anyway, he doesn't mix with New York gangsters.But what really influenced him the most was
No more headlines to write.
Yes, the gang war is over, and Ultraman, the biggest sign of the Planet Daily, has not appeared for a long time. After the previous explosive growth, the sales of the Planet Daily are gradually declining.
Now they desperately need news!Big news that is explosive enough to continue to catch readers' attention!
Early this morning, Richard heard Kathy and the balding editor-in-chief Stewart arguing fiercely about something.
"Vampire!?" The editor-in-chief began to show his loud voice again, "I asked you to be Ultraman's columnist, and you're going to fool me with a report on vampires?"
The little girl Cathy did not show weakness at all: "But what I wrote is true! The protagonist of the story is my acquaintance, and I know her. She told me her experience with her own mouth, and every word I wrote is true. Is the truth"
"Vampire!?" the editor repeated the word again, as if the word alone was proof of how ridiculous her idea was.
Richard walked in: "What's going on?"
"Oh, it's not a big problem, boss." Stuart lowered his voice immediately when he saw the boss, "It's just a wild fantasy, not even news."
Cathy got a little angry: "Boss, you also know what kind of world we live in. Superheroes, super criminals, and now there are even God-like existences like Ultraman. Why is this old man so stubborn? Can't believe there are vampires?"
Richard didn't directly reprimand her for anything: "Oh? Have you really seen a vampire?"
Stuart didn't believe it, but Richard wasn't surprised.After all, this is the world view of Marvel, let alone vampires, even if Cathy said that he saw a monkey that could fly into the sky and play with a stick, he would believe it. (Don't say that there are really in Marvel)
"No." Cathy was a little frustrated, "If I saw it with my own eyes, it would definitely be a headline."
"I just said, this is not credible at all." Editor-in-chief Stewart began to mutter again.
Cathy protested: "But my friend said she was bitten by a vampire herself."
"That's about the same."
Richard asked, "Can you show me the manuscript?"
"Of course. Here, boss." Cathy handed him the finished manuscript, "I guarantee that what I wrote is true."
The editor started mumbling again: "I said, this is a waste of time"
In fact, the content of the story is very simple.That is to say, there is a girl who works in the library, and one night when she is on duty in the library, she meets a strange visitor.The man was dressed in black, wearing a tall top hat, and looked like an elegant English gentleman.From the time the man spoke, the girl's memory became hazy—it felt like being hallucinated by drugs.She vaguely remembered that she seemed to be led into an alley, and then the whole memory was blurred.When she woke up, she had already returned to her bed, and her whole body was extremely normal—except for the two circular teeth marks at the base of her neck.
Only a day later, the mark started to heal, and it looked like a wound from a few weeks ago.As shown in all film and television works of related themes, this wound will naturally make people think of vampires.
Of course, Cathy took a photo of the teeth marks, but that's not enough evidence to prove the story is true.But this is not the part that Richard is most concerned about. After reading this report, what surprised him most was the name of the heroine in the story.
"Chloe Lee?" Richard was a little surprised, "This girl is your friend?"
"Yeah, how do you know?" Cathy wondered.
Richard's expression became a little complicated.
Isn't this the precious daughter of Aunt Lin in the supermarket?
(Thanks to book friends Wu Mourning Heavenly King?, Wang Chenkong, Tuba Kyushu, unsreheiat, and the rewards that surpass their own moral value!)
Chapter 47 needs a dedicated hero
Isn't Chloe Lee the daughter of Aunt Lin from the supermarket who worked hard to give him Amway?Although Richard has not seen her in person yet, he does remember the name.
It shouldn't be such a coincidence that they happen to have the same name and surname.
Richard decided to stop by Aunt Lin after get off work today. After all, he is a good neighbor. If something happens to her daughter, she should take care of her.
"If this is true, then your story is not finished yet." Richard returned the manuscript to Cathy, "Go ahead and dig, maybe you can find some big news."
"I think this is a waste of time." Editor Stewart continued to mutter stubbornly, "Vampires? Absolutely impossible."
