I think the term "phoenix man" could not be more accurate when applied to me.

Born into a poor family, handsome appearance, excellent college grades, smart, high IQ, but humble and low-key, all accurately describe the image of me as a person. Because I didn't have a solid backstage, despite my excellent grades, after graduation, I had to rely on myself to find a job everywhere.

If you can choose, I believe that no one in this world wants to be a "phoenix man", no matter how good it is? Without a good family background, even if you have the ability to do something, it will be difficult to raise your head and be a person for the rest of your life.

In order to prepare for the small house that I don't know when I can afford it, I worked three part-time jobs. Of course, none of this has anything to do with my major - I don't need to tell you how difficult it is to find the right major these days.

In fact, in addition to my profession, I have a special talent: I can imitate anything I want to imitate. For example, Jacky Cheung squinted his eyes and sang, for example, Jay Chou spoke vaguely, and Wu Xiubo spoke affectionately.

Of course, none of this can be exchanged for money, so I can only work honestly day after day with my feet on the ground.

Of the three jobs, my favorite is actually the one at night.

From eight to twelve o'clock in the evening, I worked as a waiter in a super five-star hotel. It's not the kind that serves the plates to the table, it's the kind that wipes the cups behind the bar.

It's not because of how much the job pays, but because there, as I wipe my glass, I can see the posture of all kinds of rich people.

By the way, I forgot to mention that this floor where I work is not an ordinary floor, but a banquet floor specially set up by the hotel. As I said, this is a super 5 star hotel. The banquet floor is not open to the public, and only the hotel's Diamond VIP is eligible to book.

Therefore, the people who can hold banquets here are basically people who are either rich or noble. It is rich in the true sense of the word, not an upstart.

My favorite thing is standing behind the bar every night, wiping my glasses, and mimicking their laughing and laughing and strides. It gave me a sense of satisfaction, as if I had countless zeros on my card.

Everyone has their own way of motivating themselves, and I shouldn't be special, right? It didn't hurt anyone anyway.

In addition to watching the rich people, I also like to watch that pianist. I think I still have an artistic cell in my bones. When I saw so many rich people applauding the music played by that pianist every day, I also had the idea of learning to play the piano.

Maybe it was because I believed that my future might change through this kind of artistic cell, or that the pianist's elegant and confident temperament moved me, and I finally took out the money I had saved hard in the two years after graduation and enrolled in a piano class to learn piano.

When I was in college, I had already studied music, and this time I went to learn piano just to the next level, plus I am very smart and artistic, so I also learn very quickly.

So in the days that followed, when I stood behind the bar and wiped the glass, my hand would be tempted to use the cup as a key and want to press it a few times.

At twelve o'clock one night, it was time for me to leave work. Today's banquet ended early, and by the time I changed my clothes, the entire banquet floor was empty.

The door was still open, and the black and white piano lay there quietly.

There was no one around, and I couldn't suppress the desire in my heart and came to the piano. I imagined that I was a pianist, I was Lang Lang, or Jay Chou, and I started playing the piano.

I play it very well, that's what I think I do. Of course, I've always been very objective and don't overpraise myself.

Just as I was playing very intoxicated, suddenly a person stood in front of me.

It was the security guard of the hotel, the banquet floor had ended, and he had come to clear the door and lock the door. Unmoved by such beautiful music, he interrupted me and threw me out—what a vulgar man!

Soon after, a classmate of mine who was studying piano together came to me and said that there was a family banquet and asked me if I wanted to go.

Originally, such a good thing would not have been my turn, but the original pianist had a severely swollen face due to allergies, and it was not suitable for such an occasion. Because I played well, I was recommended to be replaced.

Of course I do!

After studying for so long, I can finally show my strengths, why don't you want to? In addition, the cost of such an event as a family banquet is still considerable. Playing for an afternoon is equivalent to wiping a cup for half a month, why not?

They only have one condition, they want to go together in their school uniform, and they want to impersonate someone from their school.

Because the son of the host of this family banquet is a graduate of their school, the organizer is very nostalgic and wants to invite the students of this school to play for their home.

It's not a lot of pressure on me, I'm not a celebrity, and I might finish a song and no one will ask me what my name is. Besides, someone will lend me a school uniform, what am I afraid of!

On Saturday afternoon, after changing into their uniforms, I went with them to the venue where the family feast was held.

If you have a family dinner, you have to invite the school band to play, and you can imagine what kind of family this is!

I've never been in such a luxurious villa anyway.

This level of decoration has long been detached from the appearance of whitewashing money. It is a real art decoration. A variety of rockeries, waterfalls, gardens, and small pavilions decorate this villa extremely luxuriously, but it does not appear to be explosive at all.

This is a rich and noble family with real connotation.

Of course, I must have behaved decently. I've long since imitated the mannerisms of countless rich people as I wipe my cup day after day, and that's where it comes in handy now. My classmates were envious of my composure, thinking that I was from a rich family.

Of course, I was in charge of playing the piano.

The band's performance was a success, and at least everyone in the audience seemed quite satisfied.

The organizer was a man who was almost sixty years old. A successful career makes him look like he exudes a temperament all over his body. Needless to say, this kind of temperament is right, you imagine Wang Jianlin's temperament.

This very temperamental man didn't look very happy, and only maintained a smile on his face. This is also the ability I have honed as a "phoenix man" over the years to observe and see the face.

He took a glass of wine and looked at the people playing hard in front of him, and his brow furrowed slightly, perhaps he thought of something as he looked at these school uniforms that his son had once wore.

At the end of the song, take a break. He slowly paced up to me and asked, "What year did you graduate?" ”

"The year before last." I replied respectfully. Because I was wearing their uniforms, it was only natural for him to think of me as a member of that school. Of course, these people who came to play did graduate the year before.

The old man nodded.

"Then you must know Richie?" The old man asked again.

"Yes, Li Qi is the man of the year in our class, how can you not know him, hehe." I tried to answer as appropriately as possible.

Actually, I don't know Richie. Li Qi is the son of the old man and a classmate of all the performers on the scene. I can't say I don't know him. As for saying that Li Qi is the man of the year in the class, it is just a little fart taken casually.

Who doesn't like to be complimented on their son?

Sure enough, the old man's slightly furrowed brow stretched a little, and he nodded with a smile.

He replied politely: "That stinky boy knows how to play, although he is a little clever, he refuses to use it seriously at all!" ”

I also smiled politely and said, "Li Qi is not only handsome, but also so talented, he is the idol of the girls in the class." He's also a good buddy of mine. ”

You can't be wrong to praise any student like this.

Maybe I was born with the ability to make sycophants. Even if it's not why, I can compliment it well.

But maybe it was my smile and my uniform that touched him.

Anyway, the old man was even happier now, and he even grinned. This is something that is not seen at today's feast.

Then we talked a little more, all about Richie's daily life at school. It's not hard for me at all, as long as I find more examples of outstanding students to put on Richie's head.

After the family dinner, the old man and his wife had a good impression of me, and the old man even gave me a business card of his own.

That's when I got a little excited. With the business card of this old man in the business world, I want to find a better job and still have to worry? Maybe he'll offer me a job!

Is it really time to run?

The old man and his wife sent the guests out, and they kept watching me.

Along the way, the people who played with me told me to hurry up and take off my school uniform, they were leaving.

I tried my best to rub it off, and when it came time to turn the corner, I guess the old people couldn't see it, so I took off their school uniforms.

I've been dreaming of all kinds of dreams, and I've had a difficult week with countless assumptions and assumptions. Nothing happened this week, and no one looked for me.

I had that business card and I didn't dare to call him. So I thought again, maybe the old man just politely gave me a business card that day?
