Chapter 385 Ode to Joy 29
"I know, I know!" Andy smiled and shook his head slightly, thinking to himself that he didn't understand it clearly just now.
"This cafe looks really nice, Yingying. I feel like your cheerful and lively personality fits this place very well!" Luo Yining said with a smile.
"That's right, Ningning, even I think so! I never thought that they would make an exception and hire me, I'm so lucky! Hey, you two don't go yet, wait for me, I bought a delicious cake specially, let's celebrate this good news together!" Qiu Yingying said happily, while carefully taking out an exquisite cake box from her handbag.
"Thank you, Yingying, but I don't need it." Andy declined softly with an apologetic smile.
"Me too, Yingying. Just enjoy this joy and delicious food happily." Luo Yining also responded with a smile.
After saying that, Andy and Luo Yining turned around and prepared to leave, but after taking a few steps, they were stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Qiu Yingying.
"Andy, Ningning, I want to ask what kind of coffee you usually like to drink? Also, what brand do you usually like?" Qiu Yingying asked curiously, blinking her bright big eyes.
"Well... actually I'm not particularly keen on drinking coffee. I just drink it once or twice occasionally. If you want to talk about types, it's probably Viennese coffee or something like that." Luo Yining thought for a moment and answered slowly.
"Viennese coffee? No problem, Ningning, just wait and see! After I officially start working, I will definitely let you taste the coffee I made myself!" Qiu Yingying patted her chest and promised confidently.
"Okay, I'll wait." Luo Yining saw that Qiu Yingying was indeed very happy now, so she was willing to help her.
"By the way, Andy, what about you?" Qiu Yingying asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.
Andy smiled and was about to answer, "I brought some Green Mountain coffee back from the United States..."
However, before she finished her words, she was interrupted by the impatient Qiu Yingying. Qiu Yingying widened her eyes and corrected with a firm face: "It's not Green Mountain Coffee, it's Blue Mountain Coffee! You must have remembered it wrong. Let me tell you, I know a lot about Blue Mountain Coffee! It is said that most of the high-quality Blue Mountain Coffees are bought by the Japanese first. Do you know why I know this? Hehe, because I saw the relevant introduction in a book before, and then I remembered it firmly in my mind. Sister Andy, did you bring a lot of authentic Blue Mountain Coffee back from the United States this time? Can you let me see it?" Qiu Yingying put her hands together in front of her chest and looked at Andy expectantly.
Andy couldn't help but laugh at Qiu Yingying's cute and innocent look, thinking: This little girl is still as innocent as ever. So, she smiled and said to Qiu Yingying: "Xiao Qiu, in my opinion, you will definitely become a very outstanding salesperson in the future, there is no doubt about that."
At this time, Luo Yining, who had been standing by and listening quietly to their conversation, also smiled and agreed: "Yes, that's right! Well, I have something else to do here, so I'll go back first. Xiao Qiu, congratulations again!" With that, Luo Yining waved to Qiu Yingying, turned and left.
Qiu Yingying quickly responded: "Goodbye Ningning!"
Looking at Luo Yining's back getting farther and farther away, Qiu Yingying felt happy and secretly thought about her future as a sales elite.
Then she went straight to Andy to ask about the situation.
On this side, Luo Yining slowly opened the door and saw a mess! There was a fat dog lying on the sofa, lying on its back, enjoying its leisure time. Looking at the table, it was full of colorful snack bags, just like a battlefield after a snack carnival party.
"Tuanzi, Tuanzi, what on earth are you doing? Did you eat and drink too much today?" Luo Yining put her hands on her hips and glared at Tuanzi, who was lying leisurely on the sofa with a huge lollipop in his mouth.
If an outsider saw this scene, a big dog that should be majestic would have such a huge lollipop in its mouth. The scene would be extremely weird and funny.
Looking at the mess in the house, Luo Yining's anger was instantly ignited and burned fiercely. She thought: This little guy is getting more and more lawless, I have to teach him a lesson!
Tuanzi seemed to have sensed the owner's anger. After hearing Luo Yining's angry question, he jumped off the sofa and began to pick up the scattered snack bags in a hurry, and quickly stuffed them into the garbage bag. It must be said that Tuanzi's movements were quite quick. It didn't take long for the originally messy house to be tidy.
Then, Tuanzi walked up to Luo Yining obediently, and his furry tail gently swept across Luo Yining's calves like a small broom. At the same time, his big watery eyes blinked at her, and his big head kept rubbing against her, looking like he was begging for mercy in a cute way.
Luo Yining looked at the cute little guy in front of her, and her heart had already wavered. After all, who could resist such a cute attack? But she knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted easily, otherwise Tuanzi would definitely repeat the same trick next time. So, she resisted the urge to reach out and stroke him, and said with a straight face: "Humph, I must teach you a lesson this time!"
"Reduce the snacks in half tomorrow!" Luo Yining said without hesitation. She thought to herself that she must teach Tuanzi a lesson this time, otherwise who knows what will happen to the family.
Hearing this, Tuanzi's eyes widened immediately, and he pleaded with horror: "No, Ningning, please, or you can just hit me, but don't take my snacks away!" For Tuanzi, those delicious snacks were his favorite, and now to cut them in half was even more painful than getting a beating.
However, Luo Yining had no intention of giving in. She responded expressionlessly: "If you don't agree, then don't even think about having any snacks tomorrow!" Obviously, this sentence hit Tuanzi's sore spot. It instantly wilted. After hesitating for a long time, it finally compromised and said: "Then... let's cut it in half." Although it was unwilling, the thought of completely losing snacks would have disastrous consequences, so Tuanzi could only accept this helpless decision.
Seeing that Tuanzi was obedient, Luo Yining nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the sofa and sat down, saying, "Come here."
Tuanzi lowered his head and slowly moved to Luo Yining's side. When it got close, Luo Yining stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Tuanzi's furry head, stroking it tenderly. The soft touch made Luo Yining feel extremely comfortable and happy.
At this moment, Luo Yining picked up her phone and called Ji Weizhi on video. As the screen lit up, the two began to communicate happily, sharing every bit of each other's lives.
"By the way, Ningning, those guys in our team have been clamoring to meet you. We want everyone to get together!" Ji Weizhi said with a smile.
"No problem, let's arrange it when we are both free." Luo Yining agreed readily.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while about all sorts of things, sharing each other's interesting experiences and observations in life. Unconsciously, time passed quietly, and finally they said goodbye to each other and hung up the phone.
After finishing her meal quickly, Luo Yining went straight to the bedroom and gently pressed the power button on her computer. After the screen lit up, she skillfully opened the browser, entered keywords, and began to search for economic-related cases and corresponding laws and regulations. Because the cases she had been handling recently were closely related to this, she had to study them in depth in order to better deal with various situations.
She carefully browsed the information on the web page, taking notes from time to time, recording important ideas and cases. Unconsciously, several hours had passed, and Luo Yining finally felt that she had collected enough information and could temporarily stop.
The next morning, sunlight shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Luo Yining got up early, washed up briefly, and carefully packed her luggage. Because from today on, she needs to live in the Municipal Bureau for a while, and she doesn't know how long this work will be busy. But she is not too worried about Tuanzi. After all, if Tuanzi feels bored, it can run back to the system space to play by itself. During this period of time, Luo Yining has been busy in the Municipal Bureau and has no time to take care of the things in Ode to Joy. Naturally, she has no way of knowing what happened there.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, about half a month has passed. On this day, Luo Yining finally set out on the road home again. When she stepped into the house, she glanced at the house and couldn't help thinking: today is not the weekend, and there are few people on the 22nd floor on weekdays. So, she turned around and walked to the garage without hesitation, started the car and went to the shopping mall to buy things.
Along the way, Luo Yining kept thinking about what to buy. In addition to daily necessities, she was particularly concerned about her elderly grandparents at home. Thinking about the health of the elderly, Luo Yining specially selected a lot of tonics. Of course, there was also the green plum wine and some precious medicinal wine that she brewed and stored in the system space. It is said that these wines contain some spiritual energy, and long-term drinking is very beneficial for improving physical fitness and enhancing immunity. I believe that grandparents will be energetic and radiant after tasting them.
Not only that, Luo Yining did not forget her cute little Tuanzi. The little guy was very greedy, so she bought almost a whole cart of snacks for him. Interestingly, when Luo Yining was shopping in the mall, Tuanzi in the space could actually see the situation outside in a special way. Whenever it saw the food it liked, it would be eager to yell at Luo Yining to put it in the shopping cart. In this way, Luo Yining walked and stopped, and soon the shopping cart was full.
When it was time to check out, the cashier was dumbfounded at the pile of goods in front of him. Luo Yining calmly completed the payment and quickly transferred all the items to his car. However, at this moment, all the items disappeared in an instant - it turned out that they were all stored in the system space by Luo Yining. Then, Luo Yining gently called Tuanzi and told it to come out and sort out the snacks that had just been purchased.
"Ningning, you are so nice!" Tuanzi looked at the pile of snacks that suddenly appeared in the space, his eyes lit up, he danced with excitement, and jumped into the pile of snacks like a child. He lay on it comfortably, feeling the soft and sweet touch under him, with an intoxicated expression on his face, as if he was in a dreamlike world.
"Okay, don't just enjoy it, quickly put all these snacks away, and don't forget to come out with me later, okay?" Luo Yining said with a smile. Since the grandparents at home already knew about Tuanzi's existence and liked this cute little guy very much, they specifically asked Luo Yining to bring Tuanzi home for them to see, so Luo Yining reminded Tuanzi so carefully.
"Got it, Ningning, I'll clean it up right away." Tuanzi responded as he quickly climbed up from the snack pile and began to tidy up the snacks. After a while, the originally messy snacks were neatly stacked aside.
Then, Luo Yining got into the car, started the engine, and drove towards the old house. Along the way, she was in a good mood, and the warm and happy scenes of reuniting with her family kept appearing in her mind.
Finally arriving at the destination, Luo Yining slowly parked the car, opened the door and got out. She took a deep breath, feeling the familiar smell of home, and then walked towards the door with a smile. As soon as she entered the yard, she shouted enthusiastically into the house: "Grandpa and grandma, your precious granddaughter is back!"
"Ningning, is it really Ningning?" Luo's mother's excited voice came from inside the house, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps approaching from afar.
"Yes, that's right, our Ningning is back." Father Luo's steady voice also sounded.
Before he finished speaking, Luo's father and mother came out quickly. When they saw Luo Yining's face filled with a happy smile, their eyes were full of joy and love.
"Grandpa, grandma, I missed you so much! This time I came back, I brought you a lot of gifts." Luo Yining said, reaching out to pick up a few bags at her feet and showing them to the two old people.
