After taking care of the redness and swelling on her face, Yi Yao went to find Roland and bluntly stated her purpose.
"Mother Roland, I would like to take a day off tomorrow."
Facing Yi Yao's request, Roland, who had just received the news, agreed to the matter without any hesitation.
"In that case, I'll give you an extra day off. You can have a good rest and your salary will still be paid."
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Roland also sympathized with Yi Yao from the bottom of his heart for the girl's experience and situation.
Therefore, whether it is work or life, we will also provide some help. I just hope that Yi Yao can live a less difficult life.
After receiving Roland's answer, Yi Yao raised the corners of her mouth and forced out a sincere smile, but it was uglier than crying.
"thank you."
Roland waved his hand, "Okay, okay, thank me, and go back quickly."
Afterwards, Yi Yao bowed to Roland as a sign of gratitude before leaving, and then went to say hello to Shelley.
After doing all this, Yi Yao changed her clothes and left. There was nothing belonging to her in this nightless capital, and she was completely alone.
Before going home, Yi Yaote made an appointment with Han Shaoqing. In order not to attract attention, he deliberately chose a remote park.
When Han Shaoqing arrived, Yi Yao had been sitting on the chair for a long time, and her face was red from the cold.
"It's late at night, you and I are acting like a spy, and we're just trying to do it in the dark in a place like this."
Although Han Shaoqing complained, he still took off his coat and put it on Yi Yao, "Don't catch a cold."
"Thank you." Yi Yao said slowly, "Are you sure you can get the invitation for tomorrow's stone gambling conference?"
Han Shaoqing patted his chest and said, "No problem, I still have this skill. Then you can pretend to be my assistant."
Seeing that Han Shaoqing was so sure, Yi Yao felt relieved and said, "That's good. You must be careful tomorrow."
We must not be discovered by Yi Mingzhu and the others!
Seeing that Yi Yao was worried, Han Shaoqing not only did not ask why, but instead made funny faces to tease him.
Looking at Han Shaoqing's unconcerned appearance, Yi Yao couldn't help laughing, "You look really ugly like this."
"It doesn't matter." Han Shaoqing shrugged, not caring, "As long as you are happy."
Yi Yao felt warm in her heart, "I'm very happy."
Fortunately, she met Han Shaoqing, otherwise she would really be without any friends in this world, like a lonely boat.
After discussing the matter for tomorrow, Yi Yao returned home under the escort of Han Shaoqing. Everything was ready, all she needed was the east wind.
The next day, in order not to be recognized, Yi Yao specially put on makeup, and the image of herself in the mirror instantly became unfamiliar.
She has dark skin and her originally bright and beautiful eyes have become smaller and have single eyelids.
Wearing several pieces of clothing, she looked bloated and looked completely different from her usual self.
Yi Yao murmured to himself, "This way, no one will find out who I am."
After making sure it was correct, Yi Yao hurried downstairs. Han Shaoqing was already waiting at the door, and she walked forward quickly.
"Let's go."
So, the two of them got in the car and drove away!
Han Shaoqing glanced at Yi Yao and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. If he hadn't heard the voice just now, he almost didn't recognize it.
"Those who know know that you are going to participate in stone gambling, and those who don't know think you are going to a masquerade."
Yi Yao smiled lightly, "This is the effect I want. I can't be identified."
Understanding Yi Yao's difficulties, Han Shaoqing no longer persisted in this matter, but he had to admire Yi Yao's makeup skills.
About half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Stone Gambling Convention. The various luxury cars were dazzling.
Han Shaoqing and Yi Yao got out of the car and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I'll cover you in a while."
While talking, Han Shaoqing did not forget to wink at Yi Yao. He was really a middle school boy!
Yi Yao felt helpless and interrupted Han Shaoqing's move, "Let's leave quickly."
The hall was filled with people from all walks of life, but Yi Yao spotted Yi Mingzhu among the crowd.
I saw Yi Mingzhu sitting in the middle of the second row, her face full of pampering and arrogance.
Seeing Yi Mingzhu turn around, Yi Yao quickly lowered his head and hid behind Han Shaoqing, playing the role of an assistant to the fullest.
Han Shaoqing, who was looking around, didn't notice Yi Yao's behavior, which looked like a curious baby.
The Stone Gambling Conference started, and Yi Yao followed Han Shaoqing and took his seat. He was actually in the first row, which was really surprising.
I don't know what Han Shaoqing's background is. You must know that in a place like this, seats are always arranged according to status.
Yi Yao glanced at Han Shaoqing next to him. Although he was surprised, he did not ask for the other person's identity.
After a while, the host appeared in front of everyone with a microphone and gave the usual opening remarks.
After finishing speaking, more than a dozen women in uniforms came on stage one after another, holding plates made of golden nanmu in their hands.
Yi Yao knew in his heart that the protagonist of this stone gambling game was there, and every plate was marked with a serial number.
The host spoke again, "Dear guests, who can get the gem today? It all depends on fate."
After finishing speaking, the staff lifted up the red cloth covering the gambling stones, and various strange-shaped stones came into view.
Recalling the memories of his previous life, Yi Yao initially set his sights on gambling stone No. 18.
Compared with other gambling stones, this stone is only about the size of half an adult man's palm, so it is unremarkable.
Because of her appearance, she was not chosen by anyone until the end, and she stood there alone.
It was after the conference that the staff at the venue cut through the remaining stones in accordance with the regulations and discovered the treasure.
Yi Yao leaned close to Han Shaoqing's ear and whispered, "You will take pictures of No. 7, No. 14 and No. 18 soon."
Hearing this, Han Shaoqing never doubted, "Okay, I will definitely take pictures of these stones and give them to you."
It's just for fun, Han Shaoqing never cares about money, anyway, it's not his name that matters in the end.
So, Han Shaoqing worked hard and got the first two stones that Yi Yao said, and the staff gave them to them.
"Mr. Han, please come to us for cutting after the stone betting is over."
Han Shaoqing nodded, "I understand."
He was playing with the stone in his hand without caring at all. He really couldn't understand that such an inconspicuous thing could really produce gems.
Now there was only the last number 18 left. When the host opened his mouth, only Han Shaoqing raised the sign.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh at Han Shaoqing's actions. Yi Mingzhu took the lead in sarcastically saying, "Sir, you bought so many gambling stones. Don't cry and regret it later."
