Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 6 Everyone has their own thoughts

What is Su Xintang thinking?

Meng Bai, of course, had no idea.

All he knew was that Su Xintang wasn't in a hurry to go back.

So he propped himself up on his knees and said with a smile, "Since you're not in a hurry to leave, you might need to change your clothes."

"I don't have any other clothes." Su Xintang actually wanted to change, as she didn't like being stared at.

"There are clothes shops over there, let's go buy some clothes first." Meng Bai said, pointing to the opposite side, where there was a large shopping mall called MixC World, which had many clothing stores.

Su Xintang looked in the direction he pointed, and her first reaction was: "I...I have no money..."

Good guy.

When money is mentioned, Su Xintang immediately feels a strange sense of unease.

She truly lived up to her reputation as a penniless wretch who couldn't even afford "three thousand coins for the dead." Even the white snake in her household, when introducing them, said the first thing she said: "We are very poor."

However, her appearance made Meng Bai, who was also a "cow or horse," feel a bit more familiar with her.

He chuckled and said, "Even if you have money, it's celestial money, which is useless here."

"In such a bustling place, the clothes sold must be priced far above the market price..."

“Regardless of whether it’s overpriced or not, let’s go buy a set. You’re really eye-catching in this outfit, and it’s inconvenient. Wait until I apply for a day off, and then I’ll take you to buy one.”

After saying that, Meng Bai took out his phone, opened DingTalk, and applied for a day off.

While applying, he deliberately smiled and said, "I'm just like you, I have to work hard every day to make a living. I should be at work by now, but since you rarely come, I have to show you hospitality."

Hearing this, Su Xintang was even less inclined to go shopping for clothes.

She said, "Isn't there a cheaper place?"

"Yes, there is one near where I live, but it's quite far from here, and I can't get back right away. Let's go, don't worry about the money..."

At this point, Meng Bai paused, then said half-jokingly and half-probingly, "If you feel bad about it, just teach me a move or two when you have time."

That last sentence was his true purpose.

A few pieces of clothing are nothing. What cheap place? You have to buy the most expensive one for your first outfit.

As the saying goes, a gentleman deceives others with integrity. Su Xintang is clearly a "gentleman," so it won't hurt to express goodwill to her.

Don't do this with a different kind of person; they'll only be insatiable.

"By the way, your helmet..." Meng Bai reminded him again.

"This is a protective ritual implement."

"It does look like a protective magical artifact, but..."

"I bought it at the market. It doesn't fit very well, but it was cheap."

"No one here can hurt you. You don't need this thing for self-defense. Take it off; it looks really strange."

Su Xintang naturally knew that wearing a helmet was strange, but the helmet's faceplate was like sunglasses for someone with social anxiety.

It's the last line of defense, offering her some comfort and a sense of security.

Taking it off would mean facing this unfamiliar world head-on. So she hesitated, picking it up and putting it down repeatedly, unable to remove the helmet.

Just then, Meng Bai's phone rang.

He glanced at the phone and saw that it was Ning Meng, the company's receptionist and also his good friend from the company, calling.

After the call connected, as soon as he put the phone to his ear, he heard Ning Meng say, "Big brother, why haven't you come to work yet?"

"Didn't I already apply for time off in lieu of leave?"

"President Bu didn't approve it. She told me to tell you to come over right away, or she'll get angry."

"Why is she so upset? It's not like she asked for leave. I haven't had a day off in over ten days." The two had a good relationship, so Meng Bai spoke quite directly.

"How would I know? Anyway, hurry up and come over. Your probation period is almost over, don't make it so you won't be able to get a permanent position." "Forget about getting a permanent position, just help me print out a resignation handover form, I'll fill it out later." Meng Bai said angrily, "Why are you urging me to come to work now? I just applied for time off."

Isn't this deliberately trying to disgust people?
If you're alive and have to endure mistreatment at work, and you're dead and still have to endure mistreatment at work, then what's the point of dying?
"Resign?" Ning Meng didn't expect Meng Bai to say that.

"That's all for now, see you later." Meng Bai didn't explain further and hung up the phone.

As soon as she hung up, Su Xintang couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Your... phone can still make calls to other people?"

When she came out of the station, Meng Bai gave her a brief introduction, so she knew that this thing was called a cell phone.

"This thing was originally created primarily for long-distance communication, but of course, it has many more functions now," Meng Bai explained.

"The method passed down by the gods?" Su Xintang asked tentatively, her tone still a little nervous.

Meng Bai was preoccupied with what to do next and didn't notice her emotional changes at all.

Therefore, when faced with her question, Meng Bai simply shook his head instinctively: "Where did these gods come from? Everything here was made by mortals. How about that? It's no less than that of gods, is it?"

"Everything was made by mortals?" Su Xintang's state suddenly became a little off.

"Let's go, let's go. We can look at them later. Let's go buy clothes first." Meng Bai still didn't realize anything was wrong and just urged her to go buy clothes.

Su Xintang didn't ask any more questions and followed behind Meng Bai, lost in thought.

As they walked, Meng Bai suddenly stopped and said, "Your helmet..."

"Oh." This time, Su Xintang did not hesitate. She reached out and took off the helmet, holding it to her waist.

And Meng Bai finally saw her face for the first time.

This look...

I couldn't take my eyes off it anymore.

…………

Meanwhile, on the other side, inside a small company called "Gaojun Media" with about twenty people.

Ning Meng, the receptionist who had just spoken to Meng Bai on the phone, told the female boss, Bu Jie, that he was going to resign.

Bu Jie was chatting with several female anchors who were putting on makeup in the live streaming area when she heard the news and immediately started complaining.

"You guys tell me, these days, if I don't approve his leave so he can go out with his girlfriend, he'll quit his job. Isn't that crazy?"

"There's nothing important to do today. It's not easy for his girlfriend to come all this way. What's wrong with giving her a day off in lieu? She was entitled to a day off anyway."

The female anchor Mao Mao did not agree with Bu Jie's actions.

Upon hearing this, Bu Jie immediately retorted, "How can that be? Work is work, and life is life. If he's like this, won't the company be in chaos?"

"Hey, Mr. Bu, what does his girlfriend look like? Is she pretty?" a female anchor asked curiously.

"Who knows? Probably not good-looking. Wearing Hanfu in the middle of summer with an ugly helmet covering his face completely..."

Before Bu Jie could finish speaking, another female anchor started to mock her:

"Your question is unnecessary. Do you think someone good-looking would be interested in Meng Bai? He's not handsome, he's not a rich kid, and he's stingy, incredibly stingy. Last time he called a car, he even tried to split the bill with me, damn it!"

"He lives in Gushu, and you two don't even live on the same route, so why did you both call a car together?" Mao Mao asked, puzzled.

"That day I was taking my sister to the airport, and since Gushu is right next to the airport, I thought I could ask him to call a car to take us there. But he still wanted to split the cost with me."

My sister complained to me for hours; it was so embarrassing.

"Hahahahaha..." These words immediately drew a burst of laughter.

It's hard to tell whether they're laughing at Meng Bai for being stingy, or at the woman for trying to hook up with Meng Bai and becoming his lapdog, only to fail.

Another hour passed.

Meng Bai and the completely transformed Su Xintang stood downstairs at the company.
