"Take off your headphones," Gao Luo said. "When you're in contact with Masha, you should try to avoid showing this kind of flaw. He's too smart and might see through it."
"learn."
Dinah took off her headphones and then her brooch cam.
"I'm going."
"Good luck."
Chapter 219 Fatal Mistake, You Are Also Mossad (Part )
Just as Masha and the League Secretary took the chess pieces out of the window and placed them on the table in the store, someone pushed open the door.
The bell hanging on the door made a tinkling sound.
Masha and the league secretary looked towards the door together.
Then Masha's soul cried out!
——It’s a big ocean horse!
——This figure is comparable to my Chihiro's, this light golden hair! And these blue eyes look like Jewish eyes!
——It’s a big foreign horse!
At this time, Masha's foot was stepped on by the league secretary, and he immediately came to his senses.
——It was such a coincidence that a big foreign horse came into the store at this time. It was as if he had calculated that he would come in when there were fewer people.
Masha decisively took a step back, and the league secretary also stepped forward to block Masha.
The secretary of the Youth League has fat that can resist bullets, but Masha does not. Moreover, Masha quickly glanced at the street outside the transparent window, and then decisively pulled the secretary of the Youth League to move to the counter. Hiding behind the counter can prevent the fire from the street.
——Later, we will install iron plates inside the counter to use as defensive fortifications.
At this time, the foreign horse spoke in pure Cantonese: "Is this a cake shop? (I don't need to write this in Cantonese, just use your imagination)"
"Yes, but we are closed today."
Masha decisively responded in Cantonese.
"But the sign says OPEN."
"That's because I forgot to turn it over." Masha smiled, "Sorry, please go back."
"Oh, okay." The big foreign horse glanced at the chess on the table, "You are not going to open the store, but are you going to play chess?"
"No, we are just about to adjust the contents of the window display. Please leave. If you want to eat cake, I recommend Donghaitang and Angel Simple..."
"Is there one nearby?" The big mare showed a puzzled expression. "I searched on the map but couldn't find it. Can you show me the way?"
"No, we don't know where there are any branches of Angel Simple and Tokaido nearby. Miss, we are really not open for business. You are interfering with our work." In order to strengthen his tone, Masha switched to Mandarin, because if Cantonese is used to strengthen its tone, it will naturally give off the atmosphere of a police and gangster film.
That way it always feels like something is not right.
The girl looked at Masha and grinned: "Are you really working? I think you are on a date and you took out the chess set just for fun."
She walked to the chessboard, picked up the beautifully crafted chess piece and examined it carefully.
"Miss, you are really interfering with our work." Masha emphasized again.
So Dayangma put down the chess, raised his hands to Masha, and said, "Okay, I really like the atmosphere of your store. When will it open? I will definitely come to patronize it."
"Well, we just took over this store and we don't know when we can open for business." Masha threw out an answer that would definitely not be a problem.
The big foreign horse nodded: "Okay, then I will come to visit you often. I will be enrolled in Yixian University in September this year and will study in this university town. See you then."
With that she opened the door and left.
When the door closed, the bell on the door made a crisp sound.
The League Secretary immediately ran to the door and turned over the sign hanging on the door so that the word OPEN was facing inside the store.
Then she fastened the bolt on the shop door.
Masha kept watching the big foreign horse leave through the window glass.
——I thought she would meet up with someone right away, but she actually left alone.
——I thought the foreigner sitting under the parasol across the street eating ice cream was her accomplice... No, there is still a possibility that she is her accomplice. After all, the other party may have done this deliberately to avoid exposing her accomplice.
The league secretary came to Masha, turned his back to the street, still blocking Masha's body, and said, "What do you think?"
"I think she's a foreign agent. I'm the King in Yellow. Foreign countries - or to be more precise, other regions - would definitely want to turn me over. The honey trap may not work, but they will definitely try it."
"Is that really the case? Do you think that if we put out an advertisement to recruit maids, spies from all over the world will immediately send female agents to apply for the job?"
"Now that you mention it, I really want to see the grand occasion back then. I hope they can send me girls that suit my taste, and make sure they are different from the girls they already have."
The league secretary had an expression that said, "This idiot is here again."
"There's everything in dreams." She poked Masha's chest and sighed, "But the most ridiculous thing is that I actually think this kind of thing is really possible."
Masha shrugged and changed the subject: "I say, should we ask Cai Shi's father to replace all the window glass of this store with bulletproof glass?"
"Well, I agree." The secretary of the Youth League nodded. "However, it is a bit strange that the window glass of an ordinary maid shop in a university town is double-layer bulletproof glass."
"It's nothing I can do." Masha shrugged. "My life is more important."
After all, Masha himself cannot use the resurrection coins.
There is no fat armor either.
**
Gao Luo waited for a while before leaving his position to join Dina.
After meeting Dina in the safe house, Gao Luo sighed.
"You're being too serious!"
"My mission is to get close to him, so of course I have to leave enough impression on him..." Dina retorted.
"Your appearance is the best source of impact!" Gao Luo interrupted Dina, "You should go in and ask if there are any cakes for sale. When you find out that the store is closed, come out immediately and apologize politely! It's best to show a shy smile, understand?"
"But……"
"You've lived in China for a long time!" Gao Luo interrupted Dina again, "Don't you understand the essence of stopping at the right time? You go in and let him take a quick glimpse, then disappear decisively, and then create an encounter at the university when school starts. This is perfect. And now, you must have made Masha start to suspect that you are an agent who came here with a purpose."
Dina pouted: "But I'm not a Mossad agent. I only took this job because my father is an agent. You are not my boss, but my father's colleague!"
"I'm your boss now!" Gao Luo took a deep breath and then let it out. "Okay, this is my mistake. I should have told you the whole process in detail. I thought a pretty girl like you must be good at communicating with boys."
"I'm just so direct when I communicate with boys."
"But what you are doing now is wrong! Well, forget it, you have messed up now. I think Masha will be wary of you in the future. You don't need to participate in this mission anymore."
As he spoke, Gao Luo took out the memory erasing stick.
"You can go back and be an ordinary girl. You don't have to worry about what happens next. Just go to school and study normally. That's it."
Without waiting for Dinah to speak, he shone a red light on her.
Chapter 220: Greeting Neighbors is the Foundation for Getting Along Well (Part )
Masha and the league secretary stayed in the shop that already belonged to him, waiting from afternoon to evening. In the evening, they went out to the shop next door to eat a pizza.
The League Secretary praised the pizza highly.
"I had a pizza at Suzhou Paradise Walk that changed my view of American pizza. I was very impressed."
"You've been to Suzhou and Hangzhou?" Masha asked in surprise, "Your family is like that, and you still travel with your family?"
"In my family, my dad takes me out during the summer vacation, and my mom takes me out during the winter vacation. Shut up and listen to me. The pizza at Tianjie is really delicious. Before I ate that pizza, I despised pizza. I thought American pizza was rubbish.
"After eating that, I realized that it's not that American pizza is rubbish, it's that I haven't eaten at a good pizza shop. And this shop is half as delicious as the one in Tianjie."
Just as the secretary of the Youth League branch finished speaking, the chef came out of the restaurant and asked, "Miss, are you dissatisfied with our pizza?"
"Uh, no, I said it was delicious..."
“But you said we are not as good as the store in Tianjie, and being said we are not as good as those chain pizza restaurants is an insult to my skills! The ingredients of this pizza of mine are…” The chef started talking, and Masha and the league secretary were confused.
Then a young man came out from the kitchen and dragged the chef, who had gained weight, back to the kitchen.
"Sorry, our chef has a bad temper," the young boss came over and said apologetically, "I'll give you a free durian pizza."
The league secretary was very happy: "Okay, I like durian."
After the boss left, the league secretary muttered quietly: "It feels like this is the kind of store that pays attention to the atmosphere. Shouldn't this kind of petty bourgeois store be opened near the 1818 Creative Park or the New Provincial Museum?"
Unexpectedly, the shop owner heard her words. The young boss pushed his glasses on his nose and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the land price over there is too high, we can't afford to rent a place. In addition, there are many graduate students and even young professors renting houses nearby, and several new high-end residential areas have been built, so there are quite a lot of people like me who open stores like this here."
"Is that so?" The League Secretary looked surprised.
"Yes, this place is very interesting. There are shops targeting students and offering good value for money, and there are shops like mine. Everyone has different plans, but they all chose to come here. The bakery next to us is owned by a baker who returned from abroad after completing his studies. The cakes he makes are really delicious."
Masha smiled and said, "The store next door belongs to me now."
"Really?" The boss pushed his glasses again. "But I did hear the owner say he wanted to sell the store. Alas, I originally thought that the store might be used to launder money, otherwise it would be impossible for him to continue to survive with no customers and throwing away a bunch of expired cakes every day. It turns out that he can no longer support himself."
"Money laundering is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Masha laughed.
"That's right. Nowadays, there is no need to use such a low-level method to launder money. You can just invest in a movie and it will be done. It's also very efficient. Maybe it can even attract some idiots to buy tickets and waste money, which will increase your income."
Masha didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he chose to remain silent.
The shop owner asked again, "What are you going to do with that shop?"
Masha smiled evilly: "Money laundering."
The boss laughed out loud: "This is really cool."
Masha and the league secretary also laughed, and for a moment the air in the store was filled with joy.
"So," after laughing, the shop owner asked seriously, "What kind of shop are you going to open?"
"Maid cafe."
The store manager immediately shook his head.
"It's not profitable. As far as I know, there are maid cafes in university towns, but the customer flow and sales are not high. One reason is that college students are embarrassed to go to a maid cafe in a place full of classmates. The second reason is that their spending power is really limited. The occasional money they have is used to buy hero skins and draw cards."
“So, I didn’t expect to make money.”
"Is that a college girl you want to pick up as a part-time worker?" The talkative boss glanced at the league secretary. "You already have this one, right? She's so good, is she your sister?"
"No, it's my girlfriend." Masha answered straightforwardly, "But you're right, I opened a maid shop just to have a bunch of girls to play with me."
The boss laughed out loud: "I understand, I totally understand. The decoration of the shop next door is quite impressive. You can also rent the place to COS people for taking photos. Then you can legitimately play with more beautiful girls. But, won't your girlfriend be jealous?"
The league secretary shrugged: "I'm used to it."
At that moment, the young boss showed an envious expression.
Masha noticed this expression and felt very happy.
At this time, the durian pizza was served.
It was brought out by the angry chef himself. After putting it down, he said to the League Secretary, “Try it. It’s definitely not worse than the pizza from Tianjie!”
"I remember that store in Suzhou and Hangzhou didn't have durian pizza. It seems that places like our Yuezhou that like to eat durian are relatively rare in the country."
The league secretary answered as she picked up a piece of pizza. The large amount of cheese on it made her exclaim in admiration.
She put the pizza into her mouth and showed a happy expression.
Masha silently decided that when he put on his helmet and transformed himself into a pastry chef, he would try more durian desserts.
At this time, Masha's cell phone - or to be more precise, Chihiro's cell phone rang. Masha picked up the phone, and Chihiro's voice came from the other end: "Our building, the third and fourth floors are empty, right?"
"The fourth floor is empty, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. I have some great news to tell you. Just wait. We'll be back soon. Just wait with anticipation." After saying that, Chihiro hung up the phone.
Masha glanced at the league secretary who was chewing pizza and looking at this side, and blinked.
——Major good news? I also checked whether the fourth floor was occupied. What was going on?
——Could it be that Qianxun tricked him into moving here? No way, isn't he a native of Yuezhou?
——However, Cai Shi and the league secretary are both native to Yuezhou, and now they both live downstairs from my house, so it’s hard to say for sure.
The league secretary couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
