Chapter 7: The Unknown Life
There were four guests at the 32 tables, two men and two women, who were about the same age as Ding Dong and dressed in a fashionable manner. As soon as the dishes were arranged, the female guests close to Ding Dong shouted.
"It's wrong, right? We want pasta with tomato bolognese, what's that on you?"
Ding Dong checked the menu, then showed it to the female guest: "You ordered spaghetti with beef sauce." ”
"Impossible!" the female guest snatched the menu, looked at it, and then threw it back to Ding Dong, "You must be mistaken, we ordered tomato bolognese pasta." Take this noodle away and change it for me!"
"We're sorry, but we don't return what we've served, that's the 'LaSignorina' rule. ”
Internet celebrity stores must have the temper and tonality of Internet celebrities, this is what Aunt Hong said, Ding Dong has always executed it well. Throwing down this sentence, she turned around, leaving only the female guest with a rather "tonal" back. Unexpectedly, the female guest also had a very "tonality", and when she came up, she grabbed Ding Dong's arm.
"Come back to me! You are still justified in serving the wrong dish, you ......" The female guest got up and walked in front of Ding Dong, her eyes full of anger became surprised after seeing her, "You are ...... Ding Dong?!"
Ding Dong was stunned.
She has always rarely looked at the guests, and every time Aunt Hong laughed at Ding Dong's blind face, Ding Dong explained seriously: The restaurant service is similar to the feeling of Onenightstand, as long as the first-class service level is maintained, it is useless to remember the face if it is not a long-term relationship anyway.
But today, this "Onenightstand" can call Ding Dong's name.
"Onenightstand" has a delicate melon seed face, long curly hair that is soft and very amorous, a white turtleneck dress with bright red lipstick, and a smile full of excitement.
"It's really you! You've become pretty, I almost didn't recognize you!" her hand shifted from Ding Dong's arm to her hand, "We haven't been in touch for a long time, I really miss you!"
"Onenightstand" squeezed Ding Dong's hand vigorously and shook it, his expression full of joy of reunion after a long absence.
"We ...... Acquaintance?" Ding Dong asked tentatively.
"Of course!" "Onenightstand" exclaimed, pointing to himself and said eagerly, "I'm Meng Meng, Ann Meng Meng! We've been good friends since elementary school, have you forgotten?"
Quiet...... Moe?
Ding Dong tried hard to remember the name and the look, but he just couldn't remember.
"Do you really not remember, or do you pretend not to remember?" An Mengmeng's expression became meaningful, "I'm not worried that I want you to invite me to dinner, right?"
"No, no, no...... I just ......"
Ding Dong hurriedly shook her head, but the reason, the reason on her lips, she couldn't say it anyway.
"Ding Dong, it's time for you to go to work!"
Aunt Hong trotted all the way, took the tray in Ding Dong's hand, and said to her, "I'll come, you go to work in the hotel!"
The real name of "Aunt Hong" is not "Aunt Hong", just because she likes to wear red clothes very much, and her lipstick is also perennial red, bold and dignified, so everyone calls her "Aunt Hong".
Aunt Hong takes good care of these young waiters in the store, and seems to care more for Ding Dong than others. Ding Dong likes her very much, and is naturally very grateful for her care. Right now, when he is so busy, he can still think about his work, Ding Dong's heart is warm.
"I almost lost time, thank you Aunt Hong. Ding Dong realized that it was not early, she nodded to An Mengmeng with a little embarrassment, earned her hand, and ran to the staff locker room.
"Hey, Ding Dong, Ding Dong!" An Mengmeng wanted to chase Ding Dong, but Aunt Hong's figure moved slightly, blocking her impartially.
No matter to the left or right, An Mengmeng couldn't get around Aunt Hong's obstacles, she simply pushed Aunt Hong away and chased after her. But Ding Dong has long since disappeared.
"Your pasta is wrong, isn't it?" asked Aunt Hong, smiling behind her.
An Mengmeng's mind was no longer in mind, she hesitated slightly, and then lowered her head and rummaged in her bag. It's a pity that she only found an eyebrow pencil for touch-ups, not a notebook.
Of course, she can't be blamed for this, in this paperless era, who still carries a notebook with them now?
"Ah, that's right!" An Mengmeng ran to the table and grabbed the napkin,
Aunt Hong silently watched An Mengmeng and watched her write a series of characters on the napkin with her eyebrow pencil. An Mengmeng's movements had an unconcealed eagerness, and when she handed the napkin to Aunt Hong, her expression was even begging.
"Can you please help me give this to Ding Dong? It has my WeChat ID and mobile phone number, please be sure to contact me." ”
Aunt Hong didn't rush to take it, but said to An Mengmeng: "I can help you transfer things, but whether you contact you or not, it's her business." ”
An Mengmeng was stunned, and then nodded: "She will definitely contact me." ”
Aunt Hong took the napkin and turned to leave.
"Please!"
Looking at Aunt Hong's back, An Mengmeng solemnly asked.
"Hey, Mengmeng, who was that just now, you were so nervous?" asked the girl who was dining with An Mengmeng curiously.
"A friend," An Mengmeng muttered, "a very important friend." ”
"Table 18 with a black pepper steak, eight ripe. ”
At this time, Aunt Hong had already come to the back kitchen with Tingting's curling steps, giving orders, directing employees, and supervising dishes, all the actions were done in one go, and there was no delay.
After doing this, Aunt Hong took out the napkin that she had put in her pocket.
A series of WeChat accounts composed of English and numbers, and a mobile phone number that is not very easy to remember. Aunt Hong looked at them, then walked to the trash can, easily opened her fingers, and the napkin floated into the trash can.
Ding Dong rushed to the Hephais Hotel almost at the last second to check in, and the "tick" sound from the punch card machine accompanied by the number jumped from "11:59" to "00:00", Ding Dong breathed a big sigh of relief.
"It's hard work, it's hard to stay up all night, especially for young people. ”
Uncle Li De, the doorman, sighed with emotion and took out a bag of bread from the drawer: "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat supper in time, so let's eat some of this." ”
The hotel prepares four meals for employees every day, and employees who have a big night can generally eat supper before going to work, but Ding Dong obviously can't enjoy this treatment today.
"It's not okay to stay up hungry all night. Li De's tone was as concerned as that of an elder.
"No, Uncle Li, I'm not hungry. Ding Dong hurriedly shook his head, but Li De stuffed the bread into Ding Dong's hand.
"This is bought for me by a little girl at the front desk, how can the elderly eat this? ”
Ding Dong's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but smile movingly.
The entire staff of the Hephais Grand Hotel couldn't help but be impressed by Li De, who had a face full of scars. In other words, whoever has such a burn-covered face will be impressive.
Perhaps because he knows that his appearance is easy to cause discomfort to others, Li De, who is nearly 50 years old, often walks with his head down, and even if he goes to the staff restaurant to eat, he only goes when there are the least people. Because the hotel made an exception to hire him, Li De worked very seriously and was quite kind to his colleagues.
Perhaps, because I feel too much desolation, I want to desperately return the same warmth and kindness after encountering warmth, right?
Ding Dong thought, picked up the bread, and thanked Li De with a smile.
Sister Sun and Xiao Jiang were not in the office, Ding Dong flipped through the work group, this weekend, there are many guests staying at the hotel, and there are many people who ask for service. She flipped through it, and it was okay that she didn't have a service request for the floor herself.
The busyness of the day can turn into sleepiness when you relax at this moment, and perhaps it is a good time to take a nap.
Ding Dong slowly leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
"Ding Dong, you don't remember me?"
The girl's face suddenly jumped out in front of her, her tone, her surprised expression, and Ding Dong's embarrassment that he had nowhere to hide, so suddenly appeared, driving away Ding Dong's sleepiness.
The female guest, her name, is An Mengmeng......
An Mengmeng, An Mengmeng, she should know herself, right? Judging from her expression at the time, she seemed to be very familiar with herself.
But why can't I remember it?
Why, exactly?
Ding Dong stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
If she was only physically exhausted before, now her exhaustion has penetrated deep into her soul and reached her bone marrow......
"Buzz!"
The mobile phone rang, startling Ding Dong.
Is it a customer service?
Ding Dong hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and found that it was Mars who sent the message.
"Someone asked me to forward a message to you. "The interval between the first message and the second message is very short, and I think it should be copy-pasted.
Ding Dong couldn't think of anyone who would relay the message to her, however, when the first line of words came into view, Ding Dong's expression changed from disapproval to solemnity.
The message was from the girl who committed suicide in room 1414.
"I don't know what to call you, so I'll just call you waitress for now. I'm not very good at interacting with people, and I don't even have a new name, sorry. ”
"Actually, I should be sorry for my farewell, I should say thank you to you. ”
"I had already decided to end my life that day, and I cried as I watched the blood flow out of my veins. It's not because of broken love, it's not because of that scumbag, it's not because I'm afraid. ”
"It's because of loneliness, obviously in love, but at the moment of death, I was so lonely. ”
"Fortunately, the doorbell broke the dead silence, and I was relieved to see you when you came. 'If there were anybody, at least I would have the courage to face death'. That's what I thought at the time, stupid, right?"
"You saved me, thank you. Because of my family, I can't thank you face-to-face. But...... I will always remember the warmth of being banished from loneliness. ”
"Life gives us difficulties that others can't understand, but rest assured, I will live well. ”
"You will too, right?"
Ding Dong held the phone tightly, tightly.
What is in my heart can no longer be summed up by "five flavors" or "hundred senses".
The difficulties that life has given us cannot be understood by others......
Yes, everyone has their own nirvana and difficulties, how can others understand?
But even if you don't know it, even if you are lonely, you still have to live well, go on well, and look towards every tomorrow and hope.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, as if Ding Dong suddenly remembered something, he re-lit the mobile phone screen and stared at the mobile phone tightly.
"It's because of loneliness, obviously in love, but at the moment of death, I was so lonely. ”
"Luckily, the doorbell broke the dead silence and you're here......"
The guest meant that the silence of the room was broken by the ringing of the doorbell.
But that phone call, that room service call to the waiter to room 1414, wasn't it she who made it?
