Chapter 20: Freemasonry

I didn't go to the store for three days, and as soon as I entered the Garden of Eden, I saw Rumi waiting for me in the store, and when I saw Junko Rumi running over happily wagging her tail, and skewering around Junko's feet, Junko hurriedly took out the ham sausage prepared in advance for Rumi to eat, and Eric, Hellen, Cris and Auntie in the store came to say hello. Junko took out the gifts she brought to everyone and distributed them to everyone, only to see Hellen quietly run behind Junko and whisper,

"Sister Shunzi, I heard that I went to Hangzhou with Yin Gongzi this time, how about it?

Junzi's face is full of black lines, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, he went out so early, no one in the store should see it!

"Who did you listen to?"

"Have you forgotten that our Aunt Zhang has two part-time jobs in Dijingyuan, she saw a black Audi on the opposite side of the road in Dijingyuan early that morning, don't admit it, Yin Gongzi's mind is already Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know it, this time she finally got her wish!"

Junko's face was full of shame,

"Does Grace know about this?"

"Needless to say, Vivian told Grace the next day!"

It's over, it's over, it's over, I hate the TV showing such a scene as my girlfriend snatching her boyfriend, and I have complained that the men in the world are dead, is it necessary to give up years of friendship for a man who is in the twilight of the day? Now this thing has happened to me, not the victim party, but the victim party, how can I be embarrassed! If Grace comes tonight, I must apologize to her, explain and explain, how can I explain the emotional things? Headache, headache, headache! How should I face her tonight!

Thursday night is Lady's Night, some cocktails and House Wine are half price, and tonight I took a table of 20 people to book a birthday party, it should be a little busy, put down all distractions, and devote myself to work, which is the consistent principle of Junko.

The birthday party is about 7 o'clock in the evening, and at 6:30 o'clock, someone comes to set up the venue, saying that it is to set up the venue, that is, to put some hydrogen balloons, hang some ribbons and other things. Junko checked whether the drinks in the refrigerator were sufficient one by one, and whether the items in the kitchen were fully stocked, and at 7 o'clock, Junko changed into work clothes and stood at the outfield table.

Vivian has a break tonight, and there is no manager in the outfield, although Hellen and Cris are both veterans who have worked for many years, and from their previous work experience, tonight is not busy, and if they are busy, they will spin like a spinning top for 4 or 5 hours. Tonight Shunzi decided to come to see the birthday party of 20 people by himself, the service FIT area is Hellen indoors, the outdoor is Cris, the indoor FIT area in addition to the high table area and the sofa seat area, Hellen is optimistic about the high table area at most, in addition to the booking of the 20 people, the nearby sofa card seat area also looks, it seems that the work is a bit difficult, but the Shun moves quickly, the hands and feet are diligent, this amount of work is nothing to the Junzi, the work of the Shun is serious and beautiful, in addition to the polite work smile to the guests, usually not smiling, not like the bar proprietress at allใ€‚

20 people's birthday party at about 7 o'clock one after another, the owner of the party asked Shunzi to help him arrange the dishes and drinks, which saved a lot of trouble, Shunzi arranged a reasonable table of special dishes according to the amount of 20 people, three bottles of red wine, two bottles of sparkling wine, plus a dozen soft drinks, and finally gave the guests their own special desserts. Divide the drinks, serve good dishes, first courses, second courses, three dishes, change the plates one by one, Shunzi made it in an orderly manner, no mess, and finally when the dessert was delivered, Junzi asked Eric to dim the lights in the store, and the Happy Birthday song was played on the speakers, and the people at the party were very happy. When Junko was watching the guests clapping their hands and singing birthday songs together, she looked up and found that Grace and Yin Gongzi were sitting together in a booth not far away, bowing their heads and talking about something, and their hearts involuntarily thumped wildly. If Yin Gongzi told Grace what he and himself had done in Hangzhou, would Grace go straight up to him and give himself a resounding slap like he had shown on TV, then turn around gorgeously, walk out of the Garden of Eden with his head held high and like a victor, and never come again!

In the end, Shunzi still feels a little sorry for Grace in her heart, it was Grace who introduced Yin Gongzi to herself, and greeted herself in advance and said that she had fallen in love with him, and she didn't help, not to mention that she has become Yin Gongzi's girlfriend now, no one will forgive her!

After Junzi finished the table of guests, she asked Eric to mix a cup of Moji Drag, hit a cup of IPA, and served it to Grace and Yin Gongzi, Grace glanced at Junzi meaningfully, and Junzi lowered her head to meet Grace's gaze, and suddenly said,

"Grace, I brought you a present, you wait!"

After speaking, she hurriedly ran to the warehouse to take out the gifts prepared in advance, Grace opened the wrapping paper and saw that it was a silk slip dress printed with purple lilies in pink and lotus, which was smooth and greasy, bright in color, and simple in style, Grace couldn't put it down at a glance.

"Even if you know my preferences, I casually mentioned it to you last time I went shopping, you really bought it, this skirt is not cheap!"

"Grace, the gift is a heart, isn't it?"

"Okay, for the sake of this skirt, I'll forgive you, say, how to thank me for being a matchmaker!"

"You can thank me as much as you want, as long as I can do it!"

"Then let your Yin Gongzi accompany me for three days!"

Junzi was stunned for a moment and looked at Yin Gongzi, Yin Gongzi didn't say anything, shrugged his shoulders, and was noncommittal!

"Look at your face so fast, teasing you! Since I met Yin Gongzi at the Beautiful Life Cafe, he asked about you much more than he asked me questions, I felt that something was wrong, sure enough, his mind was already with you, I was self-inflicted!"

"Don't say that, I'm ashamed of you when you say that, you just need to know that I'm the one who most wants Grace to find a happy home!"

Grace's eyes were red,

"Come, hostess, come and have two drinks with us!"

Junko asked the bar to prepare 3 glasses of Zhanbian whiskey with lemon juice and soda, which is an original drinking method that Grace loves to drink. Grace stood up and hugged Junzi, and whispered behind Junzi,

"Junko, you must be happy!"

Junko's nose was sore, and tears almost didn't come out! Quickly take a deep breath,

"Grace, I will definitely find you a good man, someone who is a hundred times better than Yin Gongzi!"

"Don't, what should I do if such a man likes you again, I'd better find it myself!"

When the three of them were talking and laughing, a few groups of guests came in outside the door, and Shunzi had to throw down the two to receive guests, in addition to the big table reservation of 20 people tonight, there are also a lot of business for individual customers, and so Shunzi is busy, it is close to 12 o'clock in the night, Grace seems to have drunk too much, crying and laughing and shouting to drink, Shunzi knows that Grace is not happy, and wants to drink, but tomorrow is still a working day, and not going back to rest will affect tomorrow's work, and resolutely do not let Grace drink again. Eric, who was watching the bar, had already put away the file and was ready to go home, so he called Eric over, and troubled Eric to send Grace home, this time Grace really drank too much, and Shunzi told Eric to send Grace home, not to the door of the community, Eric nodded, and sent Grace out with Grace's bag on his back!

By the time Shunzi collected the money and made the accounts, it was already one o'clock in the morning, Hellen and Cris had already clocked out of work, and there were only Shunzi and Yin Gongzi in the store.

"Have you eaten dinner today?"

"Just had a cheese fries and chicken nuggets with Grace, and you're not hungry! Are you hungry?"

"I've been busy all night, and the curry chicken has long been consumed, why don't you go with me to eat Shaxian snacks, I haven't eaten it for a long time!"

"Okay!"

Waiting for Shunzi to change his clothes and the two went out together, Shunzi took Yin Gongzi to a Shaxian snack bar located at the corner of Dacheng Road. Yin Gongzi came to this kind of poorly decorated and outdated roadside shop for the first time, and he felt very fresh and interesting, but he didn't expect it to be so late, it was still full of people, and there was no place.

The boss knew Junzi and asked them to wait for a while, and out of nowhere they moved out a folding table, and two small plastic stools were placed at the door, so Junzi and Yin Gongzi sat down on the side of the road.

"Baby, are you sure you want to eat here? Can you eat anything here? I can take you to something else. Yin Gongzi was a little disgusted, and checked the degree of oil stain on the desktop with his fingertips. Junko smiled,

"I've been eating here for five years, why can't I eat, anything is delicious when I'm hungry, a rich kid like you will never know what it's like to be hungry!

"You say it's delicious, it's delicious, I believe you!"

"Do you think that eating supper at this kind of roadside stall does not match your identity, tell you that I am such a person who lives at the bottom of the society for a mortgage, and works hard for a loan, there are thousands of people like me in Shanghai, I have no grand ambitions, no noble ideals, and no important relatives to protect, I just want to have a home in Shanghai, many people like me, in order to have a foothold in Shanghai, they need to rely on a lifetime of hard work to exchange! You are completely different from us, you have an innate sense of superiority and don't have to worry about money, you can spend 100,000 yuan overnight, but I can't sleep all night because I can pay the rent on time! You must know that I am such a person, a person who eats roadside stalls, wears cheap clothes, has no ambitions, and is of no help to you, I really don't understand what you like about me?"

Yin Gongzi looked straight at Junzi, not understanding why Junzi said this,

"If falling in love with someone can explain the reason, then it's not love!"

"Since you have decided to be with me, then you have to make changes for me, give up your previous way of life, you can't live that kind of life of spending money and drinking all day, you have to work hard, work down-to-earth, and become the person I want you to be, can you do it?"

"I've already told my dad that I'll go to work at his company after eleven. โ€

Shunzi nodded, at this time, the owner of the snack bar brought two baskets of steamed dumplings, two cups of black chicken soup, two bowls of fragrant noodles, Shunzi broke a pair of disposable chopsticks and handed them to Yin Gongzi, and then broke a pair of them himself, sandwiched a steamed dumpling and handed it into his mouth,

"Well, it's still that taste, it's really delicious, you taste it.

Yin Gongzi tasted a bite of steamed dumplings,

"Well, it's really okay, it's delicious!"

"By the way, I never asked you, what does your dad do, and if you go to his company, which department will you go to?"

"My dad is doing international trade, Hongqi Group was founded by him, mainly for bulb exports, South America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, one-third of the total export of bulbs is created by my dad company. In addition to international trade, there is also logistics, real estate. โ€

Shunzi's heart sank when she heard this, and the more she listened, the more she felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss with no end, the family environment of the two was heaven and earth, and what would be the result with Yin Gongzi in the future, I felt at a loss!

"You know, when I was a child, I often thought that I wanted to be any ordinary person as long as it wasn't Yin Kunpeng, because my father arranged everything for me since I was a child, whether I wanted it or not, I had no right to refuse. Yes, he gave me a material life that no one else could match, but where was he when I needed him? When I was younger, I used to take an expensive Transformer to exchange for a tattered cotton paper kite or some other handmade toy in the hands of a child, but no one changed it, why, it was made by his father, what about my father? I can't see him all year round, because he is always busy, so busy that his mother left him to go to the United States, so busy that he kept changing my stepmother, I don't have any nostalgia for his home, I went to Canada to study high school after graduating from junior high school, and I always remember playing with myself in the room alone. โ€

Hearing this, Junko's mind presents a huge room empty, a little boy sitting on the ground alone and lonely dismantling the Transformers, how familiar it is, most of the time when he was a child, he also played with himself most of the time, his grandmother is a senior Chinese teacher, after retirement, there are always some private teaching institutions to invite his grandmother to teach, when he was a child, he ate the dinner prepared by his grandmother in advance after school, and did his homework alone, studied, read, played, and was always alone, playing with himself, and the feeling of sympathy for the same disease aroseใ€‚
