Shi Chuxi couldn't speak, and she hadn't seen him for several days.

She tried to call him three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and got the same answer always the same, turn off the phone.

He was like evaporating from the world.

All kinds of speculation blocked her heart, forcing her to breathe, if he hadn't happened to her that night, maybe her heart was not so empty, but that night he obviously lingered with her all night, and when he woke up the next day, he was gone.

What's going on here?

Where did he go?

She had no way of knowing, so she had to guess.

The first guess was that he knew about the online postings, hated her past, and didn't want to see her.

However, this speculation soon fell apart, he was a rational and calm man, impulsiveness was never synonymous with him, even if he hated her, it was impossible to turn off his mobile phone and cut off all contact with the outside world.

Now that Tian Sisi made this phone call, she knew that not only did he disappear in front of her, but he also disappeared in the Tya Hotel, or that he completely disappeared in front of the entire public.

The most important thing is - he resigned!

She thought about it, from the various analyses that happened before he disappeared, first his election defeat, then he was besieged and ridiculed by a group of sons and brothers at Bo Anying's banquet, not only his face was painted, but also his heart was scarred, and finally he was locked in the basement, exposing his unknown claustrophobia.

This kind of frustration is superimposed, let alone a big man, even a girl will be hit hard, and she hides and doesn't want to see anyone.

For example, after the post was exposed, she didn't dare to go to work in the hotel. I had to take sick leave and hide at home.

Shi Chuxi's fingers were trembling finely, she didn't know what she said to Tian Sisi, and she didn't know how she hung up the phone, so she bit her lip and stood in the living room.

Auntie is not on leave today, she is the only one in the huge villa, she has never felt so empty, so empty as if the tide is about to drown her.

……

After two days of sick leave, on the third day, Chuxi went to work at the hotel.

Walking into the lobby, many pairs of eyes gathered together to whisper after seeing her, and she did not squint. Back and forth to the marketing department.

As expected, as soon as she arrived at her seat, He Lin called her to the office alone.

"Shi Chuxi, from the time you joined the group to the present, what do you think of me to you?"

Shi Chuxi knew what she was going to say next, and said without humility or arrogance: "It's okay." ”

He Lin was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and a sneer came out of his nose: "Is it okay? I really raised a white-eyed wolf." ”

Shi Chuxi: "......"

You already know about the posts on the Internet, so I agreed that you took two days of sick leave, and I didn't insist that you go to work, and I don't care about you at all, right?" He Lin grinded his teeth angrily: "Okay." Just when I was kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs. In the past two days, the company has a lot of rumors about you, and I have a small temple here, so I won't leave you. ”

Shi Chuxi frowned and raised his head: "Team leader!"

"What, now you know you're nervous?" He Lin looked at her nervous appearance and sneered: "It's okay if you want to stay, I'll give you a chance to atone." As he spoke, he walked up to her and looked straight at her face with his eyes narrowed into a slit: "As long as you tell me, it is said on the Internet that you are the mistress of 'Mr. Jin', is this 'Mr. Jin' Jin Heng?"

"It's not. Shi Chuxi's face did not change: "Team leader, if I know this 'Mr. Jin', or if I have a leg with him, why should I be subordinate here? According to the information you gave me, Jin Heng is rich and rivals the country, and whoever is his mistress wears gold and silver, not to mention, is at least a delicate woman." Do you look like an office worker like me?"

He Lin was skeptical, and a pair of shrewd eyes looked Shi Chuxi up and down, "Shi Chuxi, I didn't like you from the first day you joined the group, do you know why?"

"Yes. ”

"You know?" said He Lin sneered, an expression of complete disbelief.

Shi Chuxi's face was full of smiles, but his tone was full of mockery: "Yes, I know, I also know that the team leader doesn't hate me for other reasons, it's because of Miss Tang Er, right?"

After talking for so long, she had already sensed He Lin's intention to call her in, and she was not afraid to tear her face.

He Lin's face darkened, his facial muscles trembled twice, and he suddenly laughed triumphantly: "Shi Chuxi, do you still want to slander me before leaving? Tell you, it's impossible! Bo Yunshen is gone, now the biggest person in the Thia Hotel is the vice president, and soon the order from the headquarters will come down, and the vice president here will have the final say in the future." As for you, your reputation is too dirty, and it's a big impact on the reputation of the hotel, so you've been fired, now pack up your things and get out of Tiya within ten minutes!"

Shi Chuxi didn't have any expression, didn't make a sound, turned around and left.

"Stop!" He Lin's vicious voice made Shi Chuxi ignore her and continue to walk towards the door.

The phone on He Lin's desk rang, and he picked it up with a straight face, and the next second he raised his voice in disbelief: "What? Did you hear it wrong?"

After confirming the content of the phone call again and again, He Lin looked up at Shi Chuxi, who was about to leave: "Shi Chuxi, I haven't finished my words yet, you stop me!"

Shi Chuxi stopped, frowned and didn't turn around.

He Lin stepped on high heels and walked around her, her face was blue and white: "I really can't see it, you are quite capable!"

"Team leader, I don't understand what you mean. Shi Chuxi frowned, feeling that He Lin had something to say.

……

In the office outside, many colleagues heard He Lin's roar and stood up from the lattice to look around.

I saw Shi Chuxi come out of He Lin's office, and began to pack up his things silently, everyone understood that Shi Chuxi was fired.

"Chuxi, what's going on, why are you packing up?" Tian Sisi was most concerned about Shi Chuxi, and hurriedly ran over to ask.

Shi Chuxi hung her eyelashes and didn't speak, found a cardboard box, and put her personal belongings inside.

Tian Sisi held Shi Chuxi's busy hand with both hands: "You speak, Chuxi, what's wrong with you? Why do you want to pack up your things?"

Shi Chuxi pulled out his hand, lowered his head and continued to clean up.

"Chuxi, what's wrong with you, is it the team leader who scolded you, then you don't have to clean up your things. Tian Sisi was an anxious child, and when she saw that Chu Xi didn't speak, she was so anxious that she wanted to jump to her feet.

Several colleagues who were watching from the sidelines gathered together and laughed, and one of them reminded him with fake kindness: "Sisi, don't you still understand? She was fired from the east window incident, and the company fired her." ”

"What happened to the East Window? Chu Xi has never been taken care of at all!"

Originally, everyone was just discussing this matter in private, but Tian Sisi suddenly said it on the surface, and suddenly the entire office was quiet.

Tian Sisi realized that she had made a mistake and hurriedly wanted to correct it, but the more she described, the more chaotic she became: "I'm sorry, Chu Xi, I didn't mean that, I didn't say that you were adopted...... I ......"

"Silk. Shi Chuxi lifted his eyelids and raised his eyes, put the last thing on the table into the carton as usual, glanced at the colleagues who were watching the excitement around him, and finally turned to Tian Sisi's face and smiled slightly: "Who said that I was fired, I was just transferred from the marketing department because of job transfer." ”

"Job transfer?" Tian Sisi was stunned for a moment, and happily covered her chest with her hands: "I wasn't fired, I was scared to death." ”

"No way. The news that you were taken care of has been spread all over the Internet, and everyone knows that you are an employee of the Tiya Hotel, how can the hotel accommodate you anymore. The previous colleague jumped out and mocked: "Since you have been fired, it is okay to admit it well, why bother to open your eyes and talk nonsense here." ”

There was a whisper in the office, and everyone didn't believe Shi Chuxi's words, thinking that she was just saving face for herself.

Shi Chuxi picked up the cardboard box and walked to the door of the office, facing everyone, with a quiet smile on her white face: "Although I have been in for a short time, I am very grateful for everyone's care during this time, from today I will be transferred to the catering department, and I will have the opportunity to continue to work together in the future." See you soon!"

Food & Beverage?

All colleagues were stunned, and when they looked again, Shi Chuxi had already strode away.

Immediately, several colleagues rushed to Tian Sisi and asked: "What's the situation, Sisi, is she really not fired?"

Tian Sisi was also confused by this reversal, scratched her hair and said, "Oh, don't ask me, I don't know, I'll ask when I go back and take a lunch break." ”

Over there, Chuxi is gone, and the office is bustling here.

"The food and beverage department is also very good, I heard that there are various parties and subsidies every month, and there are often customers who stuff tips. A colleague said with great envy.

"I heard that last month, there was a local tyrant who gave tens of thousands of tips for a dump. ”

"Tens of thousands, really fake?" a lot of gasps.

"What did I lie to you about, this is a real thing, but the upper echelons confessed that they were afraid that other departments would be jealous, so they didn't publicize it. You think, what are the origins of the guests who can come and go in our hotel, and giving a tip of tens of thousands of yuan is a drop in the bucket for people, and the picture is a joy. ”

"Shi Chuxi is really picking another fat difference now, but isn't she being taken care of? Our hotel attaches the most importance to reputation, why didn't you open her and transfer her to a better department?"

Someone couldn't figure it out and asked the question.

Tian Sisi said: "Isn't this obvious? There is no such thing at all, Chu Xi is not the kind of girl she says on the Internet at all, I know her very well, she is really clean and self-conscious." ”

"What's the deal with that post on the Internet that says it has a nose and a face?"

"What's so hard to guess about this, she must have offended someone!" Tian Sisi bit the tip of her pen and said with certainty.

Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, in fact they were all confused now, and they didn't know who to believe.

……

Shi Chuxi came out of the marketing department with a cardboard box, and the scene before leaving He Lin's office appeared in front of him.

"You don't have to go home, report to the catering department right now. ”

Shi Chuxi did not move at all.

He Lin put his hands behind his back. "What? You want to disobey orders from above?"

"Above?"

"Hmph, yes, that's it, just now the headquarters called, saying that you will be transferred to the catering department immediately. When He Lin said this, there was a trace of unwilling hatred in his eyes: "Don't doubt it, it was Miss Bo who personally gave the order, and her assistant called and didn't allow me to ask the reason." ”

It turned out to be Bo Anying.

Shi Chuxi didn't think that Bo Anying would be so kind and rescue her from the dire marketing department.

Suddenly, I remembered Bo Anying's words that night: "Okay, then I'll give you time to investigate." It's limited to three days, and if you can't find anything in three days, don't blame me for being rude!"

Counting from that night, yesterday was exactly three days full.

In other words, this is Bo Anying's punishment for her.

I came to the catering department and searched for a long time before I found the office located in the innermost part of the corridor.

The office space is small, about 50 square meters, almost the size of the pantry in the marketing department.

It was the assistant manager who received her, and when she saw Shi Chuxi holding a cardboard box in her arms, the assistant rolled her eyes and sneered: "Shi Chuxi." Do you really think you're in the office when you transfer to the food and beverage department?"

"Then where should I be?" asked Shi Chuxi calmly.

"Follow me. The assistant gave her a cold look and led her around to the spacious and bright dining room.

The restaurant at the Tiya Grand Hotel is lavishly decorated to a grand standard, and it is lunchtime for all kinds of guests to enjoy their lunch, and the waiters are carrying trays in their hands, and they are polite.

Shi Chuxi understood at a glance, turned to the assistant and said, "Do you need me to change my clothes?"

The assistant glanced back and forth at the work clothes on her body, which were uniform work clothes throughout the hotel, except for the catering department. There's another set.

"Of course you have to change, come with me. ”

……

Ten minutes later, Shi Chuxi came out of the female employee's changing room, looked at the bandeau dress with sparse fabrics on her body, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that she was not a waitress like this.

"Come with me when you're dressed. The assistant was expressionless, led her back to the magnificent dining room, pointed to a beautiful piano on the table and said, "From now on, it will be your job, play for three hours at noon and evening, and if there are guests ordering music." You have to meet the requirements of the guests, and of course the hotel will not treat you badly, and the tips given by the guests are divided into three or seventy. But don't think about it, 30% will be yours, and 70% will be the hotel. ”

Shi Chuxi was speechless for a long time.

The assistant squinted at her, with a strange look on his face: "Aren't you happy? The guests here are either rich or expensive, and they are generous, and the tip for one night is enough for you to write a plan in the marketing department for a month." Maybe you will be favored by rich people with your appearance, and there is a high probability of being a second wife or something. Then he remembered something, "Oh, yes. It's weird to say that the second wife is ugly, and it's much better to say that the mistress is much better, right, Miss Shi?"

Shi Chuxi looked at the ridicule in the other party's eyes, stopped the other party with an unchanged smile, and when the other party turned around, there was a crisp "snap".

The assistant's face was turned to the side, and he looked sluggish, completely incredulous, and he was so bold as to slap her the first time when Chu Xi was transferred.

"The body is skinny, and the parents are affected, do you want to be a mistress if you have a good look? Who taught you?" Shi Chuxi provoked a cold eye. The voice was like rubbing ice cubes: "Since your parents didn't teach you, then this slap is what I taught you, you have to accumulate virtue in your mouth, don't spray feces all over your mouth, lower your grade!"

"Shi Chuxi, have you eaten leopard gall? You dare to hit me, believe it or ......not?"

Shi Chuxi had no fear at all, and interrupted coldly: "If you have someone behind you, then please bring a message to your master, if you have the ability to fire me, if you don't have the ability, don't have a 'second wife' or 'mistress' in front of me in the future." Otherwise, I'll see you hit you once!"

The assistant covered his face, so angry that he couldn't speak.

The two of them made such a big noise in the corner that someone came over: "What's going on? What are you doing?"

When the assistant saw that it was the manager who came, he immediately had tears in his eyes and complained aggrievedly: "Manager, you came just in time, Chuxi was too arrogant at this time, I just told her about work, and she slapped me." In my opinion, this kind of person can't stay in our restaurant......"

"Shut up!" the manager interrupted the assistant with a stiff face: "I heard it just now, it's you who is wrong, and everyone will be colleagues in the future." You have to apologize to Miss Shi. ”

Seeing that the manager was secretly glaring at her, the assistant gritted his teeth, and reluctantly squeezed out of his teeth: "Yes, no, up." ”

Shi Chuxi accepted calmly, "Please pay attention next time." ”

Damn, I actually got cheap and behaved, the hatred in the assistant's eyes was obvious, and after a while, I followed the manager to the office, and before I could speak, I was reprimanded by the manager.

"You said you, is it that I am usually too good to you, you can say that kind of thing. ”

"Uncle, what are you afraid of, now everyone in the hotel knows that she is a mistress, why can others say that I can't say, this kind of person staying in our department will only make people laugh, it is better to find a way to get her away." ”

"Shut up!" The manager slapped the table: "This woman can't move, Miss Bo has an explanation, and transferring someone to the catering department is not to put on small shoes, but to punish her." ”

"What does it mean to punish? With such a good character, how can she have a chance to offend Miss Bo?" the assistant's eyes widened incredulously.

The manager shook his hand irritably: "You are your own family, I just whispered to you, don't talk nonsense when you go outside, Miss Bo specially called me today to explain." Anyway, you give me a little care in the future, don't mess with her. You think it's a small fish and a small shrimp, but in fact, people have a lot of background!"

……

To be honest, after slapping the assistant, Shi Chuxi's hand was faintly painful.

She doesn't regret the frenzy just now, there is a limit to swallowing your anger, when others ride on your head, swallowing your anger will only make others further trample on dignity, and will not win you applause, dignity is to fight for yourself.

She calmed her breath and walked over to the piano to play.

The moment your fingers touch the keys. The whole body and mind invisibly began to immerse themselves in another world, in which there was no contempt, no gossip, no class distinction, no compromise and forbearance that had to be made in order to survive, that world was purely like a blank sheet of paper, free for you to sway at will.

It's been a long time since she's been so dedicated to playing a complete piano piece, and speaking of which, she learned the piano after learning dance from Li Yun, a whole year late. But she prefers to play the piano, likes its lyricism, likes it like a confidant, through the jumping keys to tell emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, music, and life.

As soon as the song was finished, applause began to erupt around the hall.

She opened her eyes, smiled around, and began to play another piano song.

Three hours is not a long time, but it is not a short time. She actually finished playing in one go, didn't even go to the bathroom halfway, and didn't even drink saliva.

By this time all the guests had finished eating, she pressed the last key, exhaled a breath of satisfaction, and closed the lid.

When I got up, I found someone standing in the corner of the stage, and I don't know how long I looked at her.

"Shi Chuxi, this is a tip from Mr. Jiang. The waiter had a tray in his hand with a stack of pink bills.

She was slightly stunned, said "thank you" to Jiang Mucheng, and picked up the stack of money with an indifferent face.

Jiang Mucheng bowed his head, turned to leave, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

His behavior made Shi Chuxi go from the embarrassment of meeting to a faint gratitude, after all, she had a lot of complicated emotions mixed with this man, first, she suspected that he was Mr. Jin, and second, he was the parent of her student, and he was seen playing the piano here with thin clothes, and he always felt a little less like a teacher.

……

Shi Chuxi handed over the tips in his hand to the assistant, and the assistant nodded and gave her thirty percent, and his tone and demeanor were very different from before: "Hard work, starting at five o'clock in the evening, you have three hours of free time in between." ”

Shi Chuxi: "......"

……

She changed out of the gown that made her uncomfortable, changed into hotel overalls, and prepared to go out to dinner.

When I saw Jiang Mucheng in the hotel lobby, I was a little surprised, and then slowly walked over: "Mr. Jiang." ”

"Miss Shi, is it convenient? I have something to talk to you about. ”

Shi Chuxi nodded, right in the middle.

The two figures kept a certain distance and walked out.

In the corner of the lobby, if you look closely, there are two figures hiding from the cat's waist.

The assistant hunched his back. Quietly asked the manager next to him, "Uncle, are you sure I want to follow? What if I am discovered?" Although this matter was confessed by Miss Bo, the Jiang family can be regarded as the third largest family in Linhong City, second only to the Bo family, and Jiang Mucheng is an important customer of Tiya, so she can't afford to offend.

The manager glanced at her: "Look at you, can a Jiang Mucheng eat you?" Hurry up and follow, Miss Bo said, she will supervise Shi Chuxi's whereabouts throughout the whole process, and report to her immediately if there is anything abnormal." ”

There are plenty of restaurants near Tiya Grand Hotel. Jiang Mucheng seemed to be frequented by it, and walked into the house calmly.

At this moment, the two of them are sitting in a window seat in an Italian restaurant.

Shi Chuxi was so hungry that her eyes were full of stars, and she only had the food in front of her eyes, and when she had almost eaten, she remembered the other party's man, took a napkin and wiped her lips, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I don't know what Mr. Jiang is looking for me?"

"The last time we met was too hasty, this time I came here to hope that Miss Shi would keep a secret for me. ”

Shi Chuxi's heart was beating wildly, he didn't expect him to admit that he was "Mr. Jin" so quickly, so he tilted his head and asked, "What if I refuse?"
