Chapter 8 Let's Socialize

In the evening, a light rain began to fall, and Junko sat at a row of high tables facing the glass door with a glass of Margaret, looking at the street scene outside the glass door in a daze. Today is Monday, and after two or three days of hustle and bustle over the weekend, the bar street in the drizzle looks unusually quiet and harmonious. Junko looked at the white magnolia street lamp across the street under the damp rain drenched white halo, this faint white mist lined the plane trees above the street lamp more and more majestic and luxuriant, it was really a humid and sultry summer night full of vitality.

After sending Linda back to the university dormitory last night, I went back to Dijingyuan alone, and Yin Gongzi said that he wanted to send it was rejected by Junzi! It's rare to send Xiao Chen Duoduo's birthday, I should accompany him! I arrived home at about two o'clock in the morning, dragged my tired body to take a shower and quickly went to bed, only then did I find the voice message sent by Grace,

"Junzi, are you home? Do you know, what is the minimum cost of the Taxxzic VIP booth tonight? 88888, it's Yin Gongzi's bill again, is his family a mine?

"If you spend this way, the gold and silver mines will also be lost! Anyway, it didn't cost me money, it has nothing to do with me, I sleep, good night!"

Junko doesn't like to use voice, so she threw away her phone after typing this line with her hand, and slept steadily!

Today Monday, the store is not busy, there is only one waiter named Vivian in the inside and outside of the bar to serve customers and order, and the other two full-time waiters have chosen to rest today, Mondays are usually not very busy, one waiter is enough. In the bar is Eric, a woman alone in Shanghai, a fiercely competitive, strong food and beverage ranks stumbling and struggling for 5 years and still standing, the bitterness and exhaustion will only be silently licking herself when she is alone, adjusting her mood, and releasing pressure. Just like tonight, the sultry heat did not disappear after a light rain, but because of the oppression of the rain, rolling from the road to the air, and the heat wave rushed to the hurried pedestrians, such a humid, sultry, and irritable dog day, a person drinking Margaret, dragging his chin with one hand and observing the pedestrians on the street is a form that Junko prefers, such as worker bees, ants and busy people, what is the story behind each person? Junzi often weaves a variety of different stories for them alone.

Drinking three cups of Margaret on an empty stomach, the stamina is generally quite large, and the blurred eyes suddenly saw a familiar figure from the pedestrians on the road, this figure came in from far and near, pushed the door in, and sat quietly next to Junko, and watched Junko wink at himself with that charming smiling face without blinking. It's so cute! The tall man in front of him, clean and handsome, Shunzi couldn't help but reach out and pick up the hair on his head, I really want to have an older brother or younger brother, I have been a person since I can remember, there is no love from parents, there is no frolic between brothers and sisters, only a strict and rigid grandmother, even the only relative left him ten years ago, or left with hatred in that way, as long as Shunzi thinks of his grandmother, his heart is like a needle prick heartache, such a rainy day Junzi misses his grandmother again, maybe it is the effect of alcohol, looking at Yin Gongzi in front of him, although Junzi has a smile on his face, But a pair of beautiful Ying Ying Xing's eyes were already full of tears, and two lines of tears flowed down her fair cheeks through the thick eyelashes, Yin Gongzi was startled, and he didn't know what to say, Shunzi turned his head to look out the window and said in a very soft voice,

"I'm sorry, I miss my grandmother!"

Junzi's eyes were so sad and helpless, and Junzi who was in high spirits behind the bar the night before was like two people, tonight's Junzi saw Yin Gongzi's heartache, and he really wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her. Seeing the half glass of wine left in front of Junzi, Yin Gongzi didn't think about taking it over and drinking it all, and handed a tissue to Junzi,

"Don't drink, you seem to be a little drunk, go, I'll invite you to eat something delicious!"

"No, there's no one in the store, what if we get busy later?"

"I'll ask Chen Duoduo to come over and help you!"

"No, it seems like you spent a lot of money last night, and I don't want you to spend money again today!"

"I'm going to eat too, okay, just when you accompany me!"

"No, why should I accompany you?"

"Do you say anything else besides saying no? You messed up my hair and you didn't pay me?"

Seeing that Yin Gongzi was unreasonable and laughed,

"Let's go, I'll invite you!But not more than 200 yuan!"

"Stingy!"

The light rain on the road continued, and Yin Gongzi didn't have an umbrella when he came from the coffee shop, so Junzi and Eric said hello and took the umbrella in the store and went out with Yin Gongzi. Yin Gongzi is tall, and the natural umbrella is held in Yin Gongzi's hand, afraid that Shunzi will be drenched in the rain, most of the umbrellas are tilted to Shunzi's side, and Shunzi saw that half of Yin Gongzi's body was covered with rain, and secretly thought that this young man was quite a gentleman, so he couldn't bear to push the umbrella handle to Yin Gongzi's side. Yin Gongzi glanced at Shunzi and smiled, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, bright eyes and bright teeth, this smile shook Shunzi's heart tightly, and he remembered the actor Bai Chongyuan in the movie "Love Letter", no wonder Grace would take a fancy to him, he was indeed handsome!

There was a McDonald's in the Hualian supermarket on Dacheng Road, and when Shunzi brought Yin Gongzi into McDonald's, Yin Gongzi pointed to the clown doll at the door, and then pointed to himself,

"Invite me to dinner, it's McDonald's! If you want to eat a hamburger, you should invite me to Blue Frog!"

"How expensive is the Blue Frog Burger, one top here is three set menus! Some of them are good, eating McDonald's when I was a child was a luxury for me, my grandmother never bought me McDonald's to eat, and I was hungry to death when I watched other children eat it!

Yin Gongzi stopped talking, obediently found a place to sit down, and after a while, Shunzi sat opposite Yin Gongzi with a tray, there were two hamburgers, two French fries, two drinks plus a McSpicy chicken wings, a McNugget chicken nuggets, and it was estimated that a full plate of things was less than 100 yuan.

"I'll give you a McSpicy Chicken Leg Burger, I want a bacon and vegetable extract double burger!"

Seeing that the food Shunko was as happy as a child, the gloom and gloom in his eyes just now were gone,

"Yin Gongzi, I heard Grace say that you also came back from studying abroad like him, why didn't you find a job in a big company like her?"

"Do you think that's funny? 9 to 5, I locked myself in a cage, and every day I went to see people I didn't want to see for a little salary, and every day I went to say some nonsense I didn't want to say!"

"Isn't this what life is meant to be? Who can live as he pleases? Isn't everyone saying things against their will, doing work against their will, and there is no way to do it!"

"I once read an article in a magazine, it seems that Lung Yingtai wrote it to her son Andre, called Brushing the Hippopotamus's Teeth, which talked about what kind of work is more likely to give you happiness, one is that your work gives you meaning, and the other is that your work does not kidnap you and make you a prisoner of work, I think she is right, if it is a person who likes animal research, instead of going to Wall Street to be a bank manager, it is better to bathe an elephant and brush the hippopotamus's teeth!"

Shunzi has also read this article, she fully understands Yin Gongzi's thoughts, everyone wants to do meaningful work, but the premise is that this job has to support themselves! People like Yin Gongzi who have long been free from the problem of food and clothing can explore the so-called meaning of work This higher level of things!

"Why do you do this bar business, I can see that it is very hard!"

"Do I have a choice? My first job in Shanghai was as a waitress in a coffee shop, then a Western restaurant, then a bar, and if I didn't work, I would starve to death on the streets, did I have the right to choose to do meaningful work?"

"If you had no food and clothing and you had a lot of money, what kind of job would you choose?"

"I never thought there would be a day, well... If there really is a day when I have a lot of money and don't have to run around for food and clothing, I think I will do nothing and just sit on the side of the road every day and watch people come and go!"

"Isn't that a waste of time?"

"Time is wasted, wasted years, brave forward, seize the day or night, this is artificially given the positive and negative attitude of life, why say that the courage to move forward, hard work is good, time is wasted, waste life is not good!

"You're the weirdest girl I've ever met, you are unique!

Junko laughed,

"Are young people so straightforward nowadays? It seems that I am old, how old are you this year?"

"24, don't get me wrong, it's the first time I've confessed to a girl when I'm so old, and others have confessed to me before!"

"I'm going to be 29 soon, 5 years older than you, I don't like boyfriends younger than me, I hope my future boyfriend is a mature and stable person who can take care of people!"

"Age is not an issue at all, I will take good care of you!"

"Take care of the different girls every time, too!Do you think I'm going to be ecstatic about your sweet talk like the girls who surrounded you last night?Alright, we're done eating, it's time for us to go back to the store!"

Before leaving, Junko helped Eric and Vivian in the store pack two packages and go back, and after coming out to be lazy for a long time, Junzi felt a little unhappy!
