Chapter 2 The lanterns are at dawn and the night is not shining

"Miss, where are the potato chips located?"

"You go straight ahead and the third shelf turns right and you're in the chips snack section. ”

Yao Zhixia stood up in front of the shelf and replied to the radiant young female customer in front of her, leaning over slightly as she spoke, stretching out her right arm to guide forward.

"Okay, thank you!" replied politely.

Yao Zhixia stood in place and stared blankly at the beautiful woman who turned away, a slim and comfortable silk dress, elegant high heels of the right color, and a cowhide bag that Yao Zhixia couldn't recognize the brand in her arms.

Yao Zhixia subconsciously raised her hand to comb the broken hair on her forehead, but suddenly remembered something, and quickly put her hand down, she lowered her eyes, looked at her labor gloves, smiled, patted the ashes with both hands, squatted down and continued to tally.

After a long day of working in the supermarket shelves, Yao Zhixia stole some time to rest in the warehouse, knocking on her sore waist with one hand and rummaging through the toolbox for the label machine she needed later.

"Sister Zhixia!"

Yao Zhixia was so frightened by the sudden scream behind him that his hands trembled, and the label machine he had just gotten fell to the ground.

Liu Piaopiao picked up the label machine that fell on the ground and handed it to Yao Zhixia, with a wicked smile on her face as if she had found something.

"Sister Zhixia, what bad thing did I get caught, I was so scared that I couldn't even hold things!"

Yao Zhixia sighed, feeling helpless, "If there is no movement at all when you come in, the ghosts will be scared to death by you again." As she spoke, she stretched out her index finger and gently nudged Liu Piaopiao.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sister Zhixia, I'll definitely remind you crazy with a cough in the future, hehe. ”

Liu Piaopiao held Yao Zhixia's outstretched index finger with both hands, her eyes were bent into a crescent moon with a smile, and the flamboyant little tiger teeth were particularly cute.

"What's the matter, leader, do you have any tasks to take time out of your busy schedule to comfort your subordinates?" Yao Zhixia couldn't help but joke when she looked at Liu Piaopiao's cute appearance.

"Hey, what task can I order, I can't do anything on my own, I just want to ask you, our sales department is going to have dinner tonight, are you going?"

Yao Zhixia's heart sank when she heard the word "dinner", most of the colleagues in the supermarket sales department were laid-off and reemployed eldest sisters and brothers, and they all earned hard money to barely support their families, and people who were struggling to live were the most sympathetic, so everyone was very friendly to her.

Like Liu Piaopiao, who graduated from a serious university, is the assistant general manager of their sales department, although such a child has not been particularly wealthy since he was a child, but he also eats and drinks without worry, has not experienced any ups and downs, naturally does not understand the world, and will not have any crooked eyes on others, Yao Zhixia is good to her, she has any good things to call her, but in the end, she can't realize that Yao Zhixia has scruples about the economic pressure brought about by the need for AA system for frequent dinners.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go today, I'm going to KTV tonight for a part-time job, the one I told you last time. Next time, I will definitely go to the next dinner party and help me ask the general manager for a leave. ”

Yao Zhixia is not making excuses, but she has just recently found a part-time job delivering drinks in a chain KTV, which is relatively large and formal, and she will go to work part-time for a few hours at night when there is no night shift, in order to save more money for herself.

"Ao, yes, I've forgotten about this, then don't forget to eat first after you get off work in a while, be careful when you work, I'll wait for you at home at night!" Liu Piaopiao's tone was full of regret, and she wrapped her arms around Yao Zhixia's waist as she spoke.

"Okay, okay, you know, don't wait for me, go home and go to bed early. Yao Zhixia reached out and touched the bangs in front of Liu Piaopiao's forehead.

Liu Piaopiao is such a girl who has no defense, not long after the two met in the supermarket, she offered to share a house with Yao Zhixia.

Liu Piaopiao's parents are not in City A, she successfully entered the national chain of high-end supermarkets after graduating from college, and her ambition is to become the "head of a certain head" of this supermarket brand in the future, Yao Zhixia once asked her in confusion and euphemism, why she is so keen on the supermarket industry, Liu Piaopiao gave a firm and logical answer: "I have been envious of the children who have opened a commissary at home since I was a child, what they want to eat and drink, and they have it when they go around their own stores, my mother has to open a restaurant, saying that she still eats and drinks without worry, so can it be the same?" I want endless snacks, who wants onions, ginger and garlic!"

"A cup of respect for the rising sun, a cup of respect for the moonlight, wake up my past, gentle the cold window, so I can fly against the wind without looking back, not afraid of rain in my heart, frost in my eyes......"

In the KTV corridor that was brightened by the lights, Yao Zhixia wore a uniform and leaned quietly against the wall, crossed his hands behind his waist, and secretly hammered a few times.

In the private room closest to her, there was a song with a very high singing rate recently, and the guests' singing voices were hovering on the edge of being out of tune, but Yao Zhixia was fascinated by it, she rarely had time to listen to the song, let alone sing, but this song that she had listened to countless times in KTV made her never get tired of listening to it.

"Xiao Yao, 1 dozen VIP beers on the 1st, send it immediately!"

The foreman's order woke up Yao Zhixia, who was stunned, she trembled, hurriedly pulled her hand out from behind her back, rubbed it in front of her, she leaned over slightly towards the visitor, and said respectfully: "Yes, Sister Zhang, I'll go!"

was turning around to go to the supermarket downstairs to pick up the goods, but Yao Zhixia's arm was grabbed by Foreman Zhang behind him, "Xiao Yao, the guest of the No. 1 VIP is a friend of our big boss, and the boss must serve well, be smart, don't go wrong!"

Yao Zhixia nodded and hurriedly ran downstairs, for fear of delaying time.

Knock! Knock!

"Hello guests, wine service!"

Yao Zhixia carefully knocked on the door three times, even her voice was deliberately raised, she slowly pushed open the door of the private room, and looked into the room, she had just come here to work part-time, and she had never served a VIP private room before, and she had only seen a glimpse of it outside the door during training.

The music in the room was loud, the lights were dazzling, there were about a dozen well-dressed men and women, and a boy stood on the small stage with a microphone, obviously drunk, one of his hands over his head, swinging back and forth to the beat, and the song was sung crookedly by him.

A few good-looking girls squirmed in the middle of the dance floor, the boys whistled one after another, and some even got up and jumped up and down on the couch.

In the shadow of the outermost side of the sofa, a boy sits, always tilted, with his legs crossed, holding a beer bottle in one hand and drinking it from time to time, while the other hand rests on the back of the sofa, his slender index finger tapping up and down to the beat.

Next to the boy sat a sweet-looking girl, she had airy bangs, her pupils were strangely full, her lips pursed, her arms obediently propped up on those slender thighs, and her miniskirt was scattered uncomfortably on the sofa.

From time to time, the girl peeked into the expression and gaze of the boy next to her, the boy's head was lowered, the bangs on both sides of the sideburns were slightly curled, long enough to cover the cheekbones, making it impossible to see his eyes, the back of his head was loosely pricked, and in the dimness, an ear drill on his ear was faintly visible.

No one noticed that Yao Zhixia dragged a dozen beers in, she dragged the basket of beer to the coffee table, squatted down, took the beers out of the basket one by one and placed them on the coffee table, and the ear drill boy sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table didn't look at her from beginning to end.

After the beer was placed, Yao Zhixia stood up with the basket and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by a voice from the small stage.

"That, that waiter, that big sister, brought me a beer. ”

After the boy standing on the small stage finished speaking into the microphone, he swayed through the dancing crowd and came to Yao Zhixia.

Seeing this, Yao Zhixia immediately took out the bottle opener from the pocket of his uniform, opened a bottle of beer, and respectfully handed it to the boy.

The boy took the beer and held it above his head, then turned around and shouted to the others, "Today...... It's our Brother Rin, the first party back home, Hiccup, Brother Rin said, he has a treat tonight, everyone...... If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

The cheers and whistles exploded in an instant, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, but the sitting ear drill boy still did not get up, let alone speak, but held the beer in his hand in the air and paused for a moment.

Yao Zhixia saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so she turned around to go out, but the sudden pain in her right arm scared her so much that she turned her head.

It's the boy who asked for beer! He swayed and pulled her, and said intermittently: "Sister, hiccup, our brother Rin, but your boss has to give face, you have to serve in place! Come, let's go, respect our brother Rin!"

As the boy spoke, he dragged Yao Zhixia to the ear-drilled boy, and stuffed the beer in his hand to Yao Zhixia.

During the time that Yao Zhixia had been working here, she had never encountered a situation where she wanted to toast a guest, and she was nervous for a moment and didn't know what to do, so she hurriedly handed back the beer that had been stuffed into her hand to the drunken boy.

"Bang!"

Yao Zhixia was so frightened by the sudden explosion that she shrank back, and when she looked closely, the wine bottle was not caught at all, but at this time, there was a bottle bottom on the coffee table, on the coffee table, on the ground, on the sofa, beer splashed everywhere.

Seeing this, Yao Zhixia hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my negligence, I'll wipe it for you!"

"Brother Rin!"

Yao Zhixia was about to crouch down and take out the rag from her pocket, when she suddenly heard a shout from above her head, she was stunned for a moment, and her eyes looked up along the edge of the coffee table with beer flowing.

Oh no! Yao Zhixia burst out with a cry in his heart!

I saw that the boy's shirt and pants were covered with glass shards, the color was dark and light, the hair on the temples was wet and curled, the eyelashes were crystal clear, and a drop of liquid slid down the bridge of the high nose and dripped from the tip of the nose to the thin lips.

The people in the room were all frozen, the ear drill boy threw the beer bottle in his hand on the coffee table, the sound of the beer bottle hitting the glass surface of the coffee table was loud in the atmosphere of instant solidification, everyone nervously held their breath, watching the ear drill boy stand up, hesitating to step forward and get the glass slag off his body.

But after all, no one dared to act rashly, and the ear-drilled boy did not make a sound from beginning to end, nor did he glance at the person squatting on the ground, but walked straight to the door, leaving a room of people looking at each other.

"Guest, guest, please wait!"

Yao Zhixia ran down the corridor in a panic, trying to catch up with the ear-drilled boy who didn't look back in front of him.

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault!"

Finally catching up with the boy, Yao Zhixia crushed his steps, hugged his shoulders, and bowed again and again to apologize.

"I'm willing to compensate you, your clothes, I, I'll take them to you for dry cleaning, laundry!

Yao Zhixia was so anxious that she couldn't speak, but the ear drill boy didn't mean to stop at all, let alone look down at her, just took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, wiped the phone screen, and pressed it a few times.

"I'm coming out now. The boy said just one word and hung up.

When going down the stairs, the boy raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, the shiny dial reflected a dazzling light under the light, the light made Yao Zhixia's eyes a little dazzling, although she was ignored all the way, but she still followed him without hesitation until she walked out of the KTV gate.

A black sedan slowly drove towards the door, reflecting a dazzling brilliance under the reflection of the glittering golden signboard, and a middle-aged man in a black suit got out of the driver's seat, neatly opened the door of the back seat, and respectfully rested a hand against the crossbeam of the canopy.

The ear drill boy went straight into the back seat, and the middle-aged man gently closed the back seat door and got into the car.

Yao Zhixia saw that the boy was leaving, so she immediately ran forward, but just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the reflective car window, she hesitated to retract her hand, she tilted her head, and looked at the window where no one could be seen at all.

"Guest, I'm really sorry, I'll compensate you. Yao Zhixia followed the car that had been slowly moving forward a few steps.

Just as she hesitated, the window slowly lowered, revealing the boy's angular face, and he turned his head and glanced at her with a cold expression.

"It's not your turn to apologize to me. ”

With that, the window was raised again, and the car deflected to the right, and then accelerated away.

Until the black sedan disappeared into the traffic, Yao Zhixia still stood in place with her eyebrows locked, she bit her lower lip and her fingers stirred uneasily.

What does that mean?
