Whispering Poems

Chapter 313 Social Workers

"Roommates in orange pajamas. It's kind of enviable to have friends like that."

The young girl said, and subconsciously touched the ruby ​​earring on her right ear.Just at this time, the waiter came over with the vegetable salad she ordered, and the two stopped talking for a while.

This is a relatively good restaurant in the pier area. It happened to be noon and there were many people dining.However, the tables in high-end restaurants are not as crowded as in street bars. Shad and Miss Prince chose a corner against the wall, and there was no one seated around the table for the time being, so there was no need to worry about being overheard when talking.

"By the way, Miss Princes, what do you do in this city?"

Xia De asked, he just said his occupation just for the convenience of asking the other party's identity.

The young girl of noble birth, who could tell at a glance, did not refuse to answer this time:
"The side job is a reporter. I occasionally write some social commentary reports and submit them to the newspaper. As for the main job, Mr. Watson, I'm not afraid of your ridicule. There is nothing wrong with aristocratic girls who come and go to banquets and salons with nothing to do."

This kind of self-introduction is similar to Xia De's guess.Seeing that the other party's answer was not concealed this time, Xia De tried to ask further:
"Aristocrat? Oh, it seems that I really met someone really special. I don't know, who is your father?"

"I can't tell you the specific identity. As for his occupation, he is a social worker who contributes to public undertakings."

"social work?"

Xia De's understanding of this is that in order to maintain their dignity and status, minor nobles usually seek a position in the city hall or government department.It doesn't have to be a high salary, but it must be able to afford it.There are similar positions in the municipal department of the kingdom. "Social work" is a relatively inferior job, and you can't just dawdle without doing things.

Therefore, Xia De speculated that the identity of the other party's father should not be high.

"This is a very hard job. He never thought of quitting his job and trying to open a factory? In recent decades, it is not uncommon for nobles to rely on their connections to open factories and then become rich and powerful in newspapers."

Xia De was half probing and half joking, while Miss Prince picked up the cauliflower with a fork, showing a helpless smile:

"Resign? Oh, that's not okay. As far as I know, no one has ever been able to resign voluntarily in the job my father is engaged in. This is a lifelong seat. You may not understand that this kind of work without much salary is heavy, but often I still need to process documents in the study until after nine o’clock in the evening, but there are also very high benefits that ordinary people can’t imagine.

"That's really unfortunate."

Xia De made an expression of enlightenment, sympathizing with Miss Prince's busy father, and then cut the steak in front of him with a knife.

After being promoted to the second ring, his appetite increased slightly.But this is also a normal situation. The ring warlock itself is a power system that improves both physically and mentally. Similar situations will occur when just leveling up.

After the initial testing, Xia De believed that although the five-ringed sorceress opposite her was still suspicious, she could basically be trusted.In this strange city, paying to hire her as a one-day tour guide should not go wrong.

Besides, he is not afraid of making mistakes, and if there is a problem, he will immediately throw himself into the sea.Even if the opponent is a five-ring warlock, it is impossible to chase him into the sea.

Miss Prince has high requirements for food, and she gave up the vegetable salad after only two bites, as if she disliked the fact that the vegetables here are not fresh.As for drinks, Xia De didn't order wine but chose to drink soup, while Miss Prince ordered water, and complained to Xia De about the drinks in a low voice:

"Last night, I sneaked away. Keke, I went out to eat alone, and I ordered a bottle of 1845 wine from Russell Chateau here. Mr. Watson, guess what?"

"Is the wine watered down?"

Shad guessed.

"Of course not. Watering is the lowest method. The restaurant uses a bottle of third-class cheap wine sold in large quantities by Russell Chateau this year, pretending to be a good wine in 1845."

The slender fingers held the glass of white water and shook it slightly, as if it contained wine:
"Mr. Watson, if you are interested in wine tasting, I can take you to a nice place for dinner tonight."

"No, I'm not used to drinking."

Shad shook his head, but Miss Prince didn't insist, as if she knew Shad would say that.

After lunch, Miss Prince decided to accept Shad's employment and use the rest of the day to take Shad around Lengshuigang City.

But since you want to go in and out of those sensitive places, you can't act with your original face.It just so happened that Miss Prince was also looking for a place to store the bag of books she was carrying, so she took Xia De back to her residence in this city, intending to help Xia De and herself do simple makeup.

The so-called residence is of course not the house of the noble family, but the house that Miss Princes rents out.It was not a single-family apartment, but a small room in a relatively simple collective apartment located on Robin Hood Street in the southern district of Lengshuigang City.

Robin Hood Street is only a 15-minute drive from where the two dine.The apartment is more like a big house, with garlands hanging on the iron fence. Entering the house, the first floor is a wide hall with seats and card tables for residents to rest and entertain.There is a patio in the center of the second floor, surrounded by small rental rooms, and there are 12 rooms on the first floor.The other side of the corridor outside the room is a fence, where you can lie down and look at the first floor.

With a cautious mind, Xia De carefully observed every detail of the apartment when he followed Miss Princes here.This should not be faked to bluff people. This is indeed a normal rental apartment. The other tenants who passed by them have the temperament of urban small citizens, but they can't be disguised no matter how they pretend.

This is probably only a temporary residence, so the interior of the apartment is very small.Apart from the room that served as both the living room and the bedroom, there was only a small balcony where clothes could be dried, and an unusually small bathroom.

Although the breath of life in the house is not very strong, the mildew and paintings on the walls, the unwashed teacups on the table and the dress swaying in the wind on the balcony all indicate that this place is often used by people, and it is indeed Miss Princes. The temporary residence, which further dispelled Xia De's vigilance.

The young girl hid the book she was holding in the closet, and then beckoned Shade to sit down on the unsuitable chair beside the low coffee table.There are old newspapers on the chair, and a few pages scattered on the coffee table. She doesn't seem to clean the room very often:
"Since you're hiring me, it's not too late for us to negotiate the price first. Mr. Watson, first of all, you have to tell me where I, as a tour guide, need to lead you."

　PS: Ask for tickets, ask for tickets, any ticket will do.
