Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Chapter 024 Internal Selection Competition Invitation Card

When afternoon classes began, Mingxi could not escape being surrounded and intercepted by her classmates. After more than two hours of fermentation and brewing, they burst out with an enthusiasm they had never shown before.

He had seemingly forgotten the cold violence he had inflicted on the original owner, and was now chasing after Mingxi, asking her all sorts of questions.

including but not limited to:

When did you awaken?

"Did you truly awaken naturally?"

What quality is your Soul Key?

Why did you contract the Thunder Demon Bird?

What skills does the Thunderbird have?

"I heard you got into a fight with Fu, a senior in the third year of junior high, and you even won. Is that true?"

"..."

When Mingxi successfully returned home, she looked like a dehydrated cabbage.

It's all wilted and green.

He started wailing as soon as he entered the door:

"Grandma, I'm hungry, I'm starving."

Jin Yuanbao, who was already showing signs of building a nest on Mingxi's shoulder, also chirped, as if in agreement.

"I want to eat boiled sliced pork, spicy diced chicken, pickled fish, spicy grilled fish, boiled cabbage in clear broth, braised pork with bamboo shoots, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and Longjing shrimp..."

She was halfway through ordering her retaliatory food when she noticed that there were other people in the living room besides her grandmother.

The three people stared intently at her and Jin Yuanbao, their smiles barely concealed.

Mingxi: ...

The clam is stuck.

Does this count as social death?

I need help online, it's quite urgent.

"Ahem, Xiaoxi and Xiaoyuanbao are back."

In the end, it was her grandmother who spoke up and rescued Mingxi, whose toes had been dug out to resemble a three-bedroom apartment with a large courtyard.

"Xiao Xi, your Aunt Shao and Sister Dingding have come to see you and Xiao Yuanbao."

Shao Bihua and Shao Dingding had already stood up, and the mother and daughter quickly walked to Mingxi's side.

"Xiaoxi, Aunt Shao thanks you!"

Shao Bihua grabbed Mingxi's hand, "If it weren't for you, my Dingding might already be..."

She clearly couldn't bring herself to articulate that cruel possibility.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Even though it was Mingxi's first time meeting Shao Bihua, she understood the other person's identity the moment she saw Shao Dingding.

He hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, repeatedly saying it was nothing.

She's terrible at handling these kinds of emotional moments.

"Mingxi, thank you so much."

As if she wasn't embarrassed enough, Shao Dingding also bowed deeply to Mingxi, solemnly expressing her gratitude.

The incident happened suddenly last night.

When the police arrived, she and Mingxi were taken to different police cars. She was then taken to the hospital for a check-up and didn't see Mingxi, so she didn't get a chance to properly thank her.

Today, she took leave from school, sent away the so-called relatives and friends who had come to see her and her daughter make a fool of themselves, and then came to the Ming family with gifts.

Mingxi was overwhelmed by this scene and quickly reached out to lift the person up, forcing an awkward smile onto her face.

"Sister Dingding, actually, it was my Jinyuanbao who did the hard work."

Jin Yuanbao nodded: "Lei Lei."

That's right, I'm the main force.

Mingxi's lips twitched slightly. "I was just being polite, you understand? Why are you actually going ahead and doing it?"

Well, not having gold ingots will indeed increase the difficulty of the rescue.

"...Yes, I'm just an assistant, but I'll accept your and Auntie's thanks on behalf of my son Jin Yuanbao."

Jin Yuanbao flapped its wings cooperatively and let out a cry, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

Shao Bihua and her daughter could see the girl's helplessness at this moment, and while they found it amusing, they couldn't help but sigh.

Who would have thought that such a simple and lovely girl would save her (her daughter) without hesitation in such a dangerous situation last night?

"Xiao Shao, Ding Ding, don't stand there, sit down and talk."

At Ruan Qinghe's urging, the mother and daughter returned to their original seats, and Mingxi also sat down next to her grandmother with Jin Yuanbao.

Only then did she have time to observe the mother and daughter.

Shao Bihua had clearly not slept for a long time and had cried; her eyes were red and swollen, like two big walnuts.

His mental state wasn't very good either.

It's completely understandable. Any normal woman would break down if she had such a beastly husband.

Shao Dingding, on the other hand, seemed to be doing quite well, without any obvious signs of listlessness or melancholy.

Perhaps she has good self-regulation skills.

They might also be good at hiding.

In fact, her foresight in arranging for Denggela to take precautions before the incident occurred shows that Shao Dingding is a cautious and very intelligent girl.

Mingxi had a good first impression of Shao Dingding.

Because last night, after she barged into her bedroom, she didn't haphazardly order her daughter to join the fray and cause trouble.

There was no screaming or shouting, causing unnecessary chaos.

For Mingxi, a good teammate is one who isn't a bad teammate.

Seeing you again today, the impression is even better.

Who wouldn't like a beautiful, unpretentious, brave, and resourceful young lady?

“Xiao Xi, words of thanks are too pale and insufficient to express Auntie and Dingding’s gratitude to you, so…”

Suddenly, Shao Bihua took a card out of her coat pocket and pushed it in front of Mingxi, saying, "Auntie hopes you can accept this gift."

Mingxi looked down at the metal card in front of her.

The card was about the same size as her ID card from her previous life. The surface material was silver-black metal, with a gold foil pattern wrapped around the edge. A tiger-like supernatural creature was also printed in gold foil in the upper right corner.

What is this?

It can't be a bank card, can it?

These days, bank accounts are linked to personal terminals, so transfers and transactions can be done directly on the personal terminal.

However, this doesn't mean that bank cards no longer exist in the world. Due to certain special reasons or personal needs, bank cards can still be applied for.

Especially in high society circles.

For example, when wealthy women deal with their husbands' or sons' mistresses or girlfriends, throwing a check or bank card is considered more dignified than directly transferring money.

That's nonsense. Let's get back to the point.

"Aunt Shao, what is this?"

Mingxi didn't refuse directly. She glanced at the card on the table but didn't pick it up.

Jin Yuanbao, however, couldn't wait to fly down from her shoulder onto the coffee table and paced around the card with bird-like steps.

It was as if they were examining some rare treasure.

This young man is still too young.

Your behavior has already exposed your lack of worldly experience.

Shao Bihua smiled and explained:

"This is an invitation card for the internal selection competition held by our head office every year."

Mingxi was surprised.

"An internal selection competition? Is it a pet battle?"

Wasn't it a bank card?
