065 Bar
With tears in her eyes, she glared at Yan Chuang: "I don't allow you to touch him!
Yan Chuang stomped his feet angrily: "Chen Dan, I'm angry for you, this Wen Shaonian is so sorry for you! I can't let him break your heart!"
Chen Dan stubbornly raised his head: "No! Don't care! No matter what Shao Nian does to me, I won't blame him! Because I love him! Even if I am scarred and bruised by him, I have no regrets! Yan Chuang, you go! I won't let you hurt Shao Nian! You hit him, but it hurts in my heart!"
Yan Chuang became excited: "Chen Dan, you are too stupid!"
Chen Dan smiled: "Are you stupid? Perhaps, but how many sober women are in love? I am willing to be a stupid woman, a stupid woman who longs for love!"
Chen Dan's words, like the lines of a drama, moved many onlookers to tears.
This girl named Chen Dan is too sensible.
If you marry a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!
I had seen enough, and I didn't want to continue to enjoy Chen Dan's amazing performance, so I pulled Xiaofen and Xiaofang away.
A few of us went shopping again.
I bought melon seeds and milk tea and enjoyed this rare, long-lost relaxation time.
I saw that the time was already 8 o'clock.
Xiaofang's sister also works in the city, but in another food company.
So tonight, Xiaofang will go to her sister and break up with us first.
Xiaofen invited me to go to the movies with her.
said that a foreign literary film had just been released now, and she read the recommendation in the magazine, and there was a show in the theater at half past eight tonight.
I shook my head and refused.
My own life is even more exciting than the movies.
So there is really no need to spend dozens of dollars to appreciate the joys and sorrows of others.
Or a false joys and sorrows.
So he also separated from Xiaofen.
A man continues to wander aimlessly along the road.
......
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
I walked to the door of a bar and saw a thin girl with dyed brown hair lying on the edge of the bushes, vomiting violently.
A few meters away from her, I could smell a strong smell of alcohol.
Smoked so much that everyone else wanted to sick to their stomachs.
I subconsciously avoided walking.
I thought this was another rich girl who came out to enjoy life and pursue excitement.
Because he is too rich, because he is empty, he either tosses others or tosses himself.
When you staggered by.
The girl's cell phone was heard ringing.
She hurriedly picked up her phone: "Hey...... Manger...... I'm Xiaoping...... I didn't run...... I know I have to sell 100 bottles tonight, and I'm going to do my best...... Don't worry, I know, I'll do a good job!"
Even though it was across the phone, the person on the other side of the phone definitely couldn't see the girl's movements and expressions.
But the girl kept bowing when she answered the phone.
Showing absolute respect for the person on the other side of the phone.
Absolute obedience.
It turns out that she is not a rich girl who came out to indulge and buy drunk.
It's a wine girl who drinks herself so badly in order to sell alcohol.
They all came out to work, and it was not easy.
......
I remembered a joke I heard at the factory.
Chicken or egg?
Seems like the ultimate puzzle.
But now there is a standard answer.
It's the chicken that came first.
At that time, Xiao Fang, who has always been naΓ―ve, also asked, how did the world's first chicken come about?
The joker said that he was forced by life.
Everyone around them burst out laughing.
Only Xiaofang was still ignorant, and asked me in a low voice, "Huanxi, what does that mean?"
I put my arm around Xiaofang's waist and replied with a smile: "It's right if you don't understand, keep your innocence, don't be spoiled by them." β
......
It's a joke though.
But how many people are doing things they don't like, because they are forced by life.
The girl's cell phone rang again.
She glanced at the caller ID, didn't pick it up immediately, but hurriedly took out a bottle of water from her side and rinsed her mouth fiercely.
That's when I picked up the phone.
"Mom, have you eaten?...... I ate, well, it was well eaten, so you don't have to worry about it...... I have a good life in the city, I am not tired at all, the leaders and colleagues take good care of me, I go back to the dormitory every day after work to eat snacks and watch TV, I don't know how easy it is...... Now, I'm shopping...... Mom, don't be reluctant to spend the money I sent you, buy more delicious food, don't work too hard, when you're old, don't do the farm work at home, daughter, I earn money, I am filial to you...... Okay, I won't say anything, my friend called me......"
The girl said something insincere.
In the end, even she couldn't hold herself back.
I could only hang up the phone in a hurry.
But his eyes were red.
I didn't leave, I was listening to her phone calls all the time.
Although it was rude, I was so drawn to it that I neglected it.
I know that what this girl is saying on the phone is all lies.
Her work is hard, her money is not easy to earn, and her leaders and colleagues are not such easy people to get along with.
So just now, she was performing.
But it's also a show.
Chen Dan's performance only makes me feel sick.
The performance of this girl who sells alcohol makes me feel empathy.
We are all people who are struggling at the bottom of society.
They are all overcoming obstacles and crawling forward for their own ideals.
Knock out your teeth and swallow them in your stomach.
Tears flowed silently, only covered with quilts.
It's just that she's happier than me.
She works hard to make her family's life better.
No matter how hard she works in the city, she always has a concern in her heart.
In the same way, in the distance, someone is worried about her.
And me?
I'm young.
But it has begun to grow old.
My heart was barren and overgrown with weeds.
I don't have anyone to care about.
No one really cares if I live or die.
I fell, and I had to get up on my own.
I'm in tears, I'm going to dry myself.
It's hard work, and I want to comfort myself.
Hurt, only I feel distressed.
During this time, I have been pretending to be strong.
The phone call I overheard from this unknown girl made me almost take off all my disguises.
In fact, even if I try to tell myself not to have expectations for family and love.
But deep down, I actually crave envy, don't I?
Joe Huanxi, I look down on you!
You layman!
......
The girl who sold the liquor had already taken the phone, let out a sigh of relief, and was about to go back to the bar.
Just after taking a few steps, he suddenly bent down again, and vomited.
I walked over and gently tapped her on the back.
Make her feel a little more comfortable.
The girl's back tightened, and she was very wary at first.
But when I turned my head and saw that I was a girl, I relaxed.
She turned her head and smiled miserably: "Thank you." β
I pointed to the door of the bar: "Are you still going? I don't think you can hold it anymore, you're not fit for the job." β
It's a bit ugly, but it's true.
The wine girl smiled bitterly: "I know that I am not suitable for this job, but I am from a small county town, and there is no better job for the time being, and even if I change jobs, I have to survive tonight, after tonight, I have already worked for a month, and I can get all the wages and commissions." If I choose not to go to work tonight, according to absenteeism, I can't even get my basic salary, then isn't this month's hard work in vain?
The girl who sells alcohol wants to look very bold.
As a result, the crumbling body was not powerful.
She was weak and emaciated.
I want to tell her, don't be reckless.
When the money is gone, you can earn it again.
It's silly to spell like this, it's not necessary.
But I can't open my mouth.
Because I know that for a girl like this, every penny counts.
I remembered how I worked in that black-hearted restaurant when I was working for a full salary, how I first tried to make compromises, and then how I fought on the basis of reason.
I remembered my training in the scrap yard just to have a chance to stay in the factory.
Care.
I totally understand her feelings.
I fully share her beliefs.
I don't think she's doing it in the slightest.
It's just that ideas are one thing, but ability is another.
It's okay to embarrass yourself, it's okay to force yourself, but it's not okay to force yourself to death.
Thinking of this, I said to her, "I'll do it for you tonight, is this okay?"
When the girl heard this, her eyes widened and she was full of surprise.
"Really? Thank you so much! It's okay to find someone to replace me, and as long as I can complete the required sales, I won't be absenteeism, and I can get my full salary. Sister, don't worry, I will not only give you the money and commission for your work for me tonight, but I will give you an additional 200 yuan as a thank you!"
I offered to help, not for money at all.
When I help this girl who sells alcohol, I'm actually helping myself.
Because we're all the same kind of people.
I also hope that in the future, when I am helpless, someone will give me a hand.
But I won't be generous, saying that I help you completely for free, and I am obligatory.
I'm not noble enough yet.
......
The girl who sells alcohol is named Xiaolan, and she briefly talks to me about their nightly tasks.
A fixed 100 bottles of beer are sold every night.
The rest of the high-end liquor, the beer that is sold more, is a performance commission.
For example, if you sell an extra bottle of beer, you will get a commission of 3 yuan.
Sell an extra bottle of liquor, depending on the price, the commission ranges from 20 to 100.
If you can sell one bottle of those tens of thousands of foreign wines, you can get a maximum of 3,000 commissions.
But Xiaolan is a newcomer, not so sharp and not so routine.
In order to complete the allotted task of 100 bottles of beer every day, he is often embarrassed by those guests with bad tastes.
In a month, only 11 days were exceeded.
There is a chance to get a commission.
But counting up, the basic salary is 2,500, and the commission can be more than 700, and she can earn less than 3,300 yuan a month.
It's really hard money.
In my opinion, more tired than I was on the production line.
......
Xiaolan took me into the bar and found the manager, saying that I was her friend and that I was coming over tonight to substitute for me.
The bar is a place where there is a lot of turnover of employees, and people come and go, like a marquee.
Those who can persist in doing it for the first half of the year are considered old employees.
So the manager didn't mind having someone on the shift at all.
just explained that Xiaolan should tell me to follow the rules and not get into trouble, and then sent us to work.
What are the rules of the bar?
It may seem complicated to say, but there are actually only two.
First, don't upset your guests.
Second, sell more alcohol and make more money.
Third, protect yourself and don't drink any drinks handed over by strangers, so as not to be calculated by people with ulterior motives.
The rest, it doesn't matter.
After Xiaolan and I left each other's mobile phone numbers, we went back to our rental house to rest.
And I started a one-night part-time career as a wine seller.
......
I thought I was a novice and it would be nice to be able to accomplish basic sales goals.
But I didn't expect that I would be very competent for the job.
Because when I see those sober, half-drunk, fully drunk guests.
Watching them either play on the spot, or take the opportunity to rub oil, or absent-minded, or calculating eyes, I can easily guess what these men are thinking.
I can even tell which of these men in the bar are single, which ones have wives, and which ones have girlfriends.
Who's new and who's veteran.
They come to the bar to relax, to talk about things, to make friends, or to hunt for beauty.
even simply wanted to use the name of buying wine to hook up with us wine girls.
I myself was amazed that I could see men so thoroughly.
Is this the skill that has been let down by a man and gained after being hurt?
Because he disdains men from the heart, he has a deep understanding of their thoughts.
Seeing through the faces of these men, the benefits of selling alcohol are obvious.
When I meet those who come to the bar to talk about things, they often don't care about the price of the wine, and will sell them some more expensive wines.
When you meet people who come to the bar and look like they are fresh, just to see the world, they sell their most basic beer.
When I met those men who came to the bar to hunt for beauty, in order to take the rest of the female customers out to open a room, when they first started to talk, they were the most generous, and they had to sell them the most expensive wine.
But when they are rejected by women, it is natural not to go over and bother.
And for those stinky men who always want to do something to the wine seller in the name of buying wine, thinking that we can sell our bodies in addition to selling wine, of course, we are far away.
Don't get in trouble.
They didn't dare to be too blatant anyway.
The five big and three thick security guards at the door of the bar are not vegetarians.
So it was just 11 o'clock in the evening.
I found that I had not only completed the required task, but also sold 31 more bottles of beer and 6 bottles of foreign wine.
There is also a bottle of more than 9,000 wines.
It's a guy who looks like a boy, and when I tried my best to persuade a white-skinned, beautiful, long-legged graphic model to go camping together, I took the opportunity to sell it.
The foreman told me that this bottle of wine alone would give me a commission of 900 yuan.
Counting, I can make more than 1,000 dollars at the bar tonight?
I can't help but feel a little proud, I'm really a genius at selling alcohol.
It's not just me who thinks so, but even the manager found me in between work.
"I can't see that you don't look like any characteristics, but you can look at your eyes like this? I'm very optimistic about you, let's work here for a long time in the future, and I don't think you have a problem earning 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month." β
Earn 10,000 or 20,000 a month?
It's an attractive number.
But I just smiled and didn't answer positively, but I actually had a plan in my heart.
In the future, unless I need money urgently, I will not sell alcohol.
It's not that I look down on these wine sellers, but although doing this makes money quickly, it also means that there will be a lot of trouble.
You never know what the next drunken guest will do to you.
The bar is a place full of thrills, dangers and pitfalls.
I've been through too many risks before, and I just want to make more money and live a peaceful life in the future.
Even if it's a little harder, a little tired, I'm willing.
I just don't want to get into trouble all the time.
......
The waiter brought a slip and said that the guests in the private room No. 21 wanted a beer.
I knocked on the door with the wine, but I was a little stunned.
Because in the No. 21 private room, there are actually three people: Wen Shaonian, Chen Dan and Yan Chuang.
I don't know how they all got here.
When I went in, I saw Chen Dan's face flushed, crying for a while, laughing for a while, as if he had drunk too much.
Yan Chuang sat beside Chen Dan, his face was full of concern, and he asked from time to time: "Are you a little more comfortable now?" and "Do you want to drink some hot water".
Chen Dan ignored Yan Chuang and continued to pretend to be pitiful there.
Wen Shaonian stood in the corner of the room, bowing his head and pondering, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yan Chuang looked at Chen Dan's painful appearance and shouted at Wen Shaonian: "Wen Shaonian, seeing that Chen Dan is so painful now, are you satisfied?"
Wen Shaonian paused for a while before he said sullenly: "This is not the result I want to see, she made such a fuss, and I am also sorry." β
I pouted with disdain in my heart.
Idiot!
She made such a fuss, and she did it all by herself.
What do you have to apologize for?
Could it be that Chen Dan is the sun, and everyone has to revolve around Chen Dan?
"Wen Shaonian, I don't want you to be sorry, I want you to love me, I want you to love me!"
Chen Dan jumped up from the sofa crying, and threw himself into Wen Shaonian's arms at once, crying a handful of snot and tears.
She hugged Wen Shaonian's waist tightly, and after a while, Wen Shaonian's clothes were also wet.
Wen Shaonian's hands were very stiffly open, and he couldn't hug him back, nor could he push away Chen Dan, who was crying in his arms.
So he put on an extremely embarrassing pose.
All three of them are too into the play.
So much so that even when I pushed the door in, I didn't notice it immediately.
"Where's the wine?" I asked in a deliberately hoarse voice.
Although I still wear big-rimmed glasses and change my hairstyle.
But I'm not sure if these three people will recognize themselves.
Especially Wen Shaonian, didn't he see through my disguise last time?
"Put it here. β
Yan Chuang casually perfunctory me.
I put down my beer playfully, and when I turned around to go out, I saw Yan Chuang secretly putting a pinch of white powder into a wine glass on the coffee table.
I remembered the third rule of the bar that Xiaolan told me before.
Don't drink any drinks from strangers.
so as not to be calculated by people with ulterior motives.
That's what it's like now, right?
