24. Who covers whose heart
"I said that no one is allowed to mention the events of the year, if you can't remember it, you will get out of me immediately!"
Mao Dong's sharp voice made Zhong Ling hesitate.
She stood behind them and looked at Yuan, remembering what Shapi had just said, and for a moment she didn't know whether to tell the truth about that year.
The waiter outside the door knocked on the door a few more times, saying that Zhang Tianliang downstairs couldn't wait and lost his temper.
Mao Dong's sharp eyes swept over Ah Yuan and Sha Pei with a little lesson, but he said to Zhong Ling: "If Sha Pei causes trouble for me today, he will roll up and leave tomorrow!" ”
He didn't know that Zhong Ling was in a contradiction in his heart.
Seeing that Mao Dong was about to push the door out, Zhong Ling suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! ”
Everyone looked back at her.
Zhong Ling pressed Mao Dong's hand pushing the door and raised her head to meet his dark eyes.
"No need to go, I'm already ready to sell the North Star."
In an instant, she felt his hand clenched tightly.
―――
Since she finished talking to Ah Yuan on the phone that day, Zhong Ling has been recalling Ah Yuan's last sentence repeatedly in her mind.
"If my brother really needs your help, Sister Ling, count me Ah Yuan begging you, help my brother."
Ah Yuan had never said a word of pleading to Liang Ju, and what could make this man speak must be a matter that was not only tricky but also very strict.
Zhong Ling thought backwards and decided not to wait for Mao Dong to come back.
If you wait for Mao Dong to come back, you will definitely not be able to do anything.
Zhong Ling went out to inquire about the price of Beixing, if it was really a last resort, it would be faster to make a move at that time.
In order to help Mao Dong, she went out a lot.
Zhong Ling signed the transfer agreement that Mao Dong gave her, and now, she has the highest shares in Beixing, so once all the shares in her hands are resold, this place will no longer belong to either her or Mao Dong.
At present, although there are many bars in Qihai City, North Star is still one of the best, and if you want to sell at a good price, it is naturally easy. I contacted several buyers, and they were very accepting of Zhong Ling's price, but Zhong Ling hesitated.
The reason why the bar was opened at the beginning was entirely for a wish of Yuanmaobei.
Zhong Ling is very nostalgic for this place, she looks around regretfully, here has poured all her efforts in the past three years, although the money was all from Mao Dong, but Mao Dong himself has other businesses, so the top and bottom here are as big as the decoration style, as small as a chair, a plate, are carefully selected by her.
During the day, Zhong Ling had already negotiated with a buyer that she could sell all her shares, but she put forward one condition, that is, she had to continue working here.
In the future, she will be just an employee working for others, just like those waitress who work.
Everything was done quietly without Mao Dong knowing, and if he knew, Zhong Ling knew that he would rather go bankrupt than use her money.
Mao Dong, he has the basic pride of a man, but Zhong Ling also has his own pride.
―――
Zhong Ling sat on the sofa and slowly said everything word by word.
Shapi and A-Yuan were kicked out of the private room by Mao Dong, and now, only the two of them are left in the entire private room.
Mao Dong sat beside her for a long time and didn't speak, but she could feel his mood now.
Mao Dong's cigarette smoked fiercely, and in a few minutes, two of them went in.
His silence made her nervous, and she had to clench the hand on her lap.
"Zhong Ling."
He called out to her in a hoarse tone.
Zhong Ling looked sideways at him, he lowered his eyes and spat out a smoke ring, and the white smoke was misty and filled the air.
His eyes deepened with the mist, and faded away.
"Am I just so you can't believe me?"
Zhong Ling bit her lip, she felt uncomfortable when she heard him ask.
There was a kind of grievance blocked in her throat, Zhong Ling held back, not letting herself look so fragile.
He looked sideways at her, his eyes bloodshot from the tiredness of the days.
"I said, you are optimistic about the North Star, and the rest, I will come by myself."
"But I can't watch you fight such a big difficulty alone!"
Zhong Ling choked up and withdrew her gaze from him. "If your brother is here, I think he'll do the same."
The two of them were obviously sitting side by side, but Zhong Ling always had a feeling that he was getting farther and farther away from her.
A violent noise outside the door interrupted the tense atmosphere, Sha Pei's rough voice came intermittently, and the screams suddenly sounded, Mao Dong felt irritable in his heart, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and stood up.
"The North Star is yours, and I won't charge you a penny."
"You have to tell me so clearly?" Zhong Ling got up with him.
He tilted his head slightly, and his sharp facial features gave people a shudder. "I have my own principles for doing things. I'm sorry. ”
I'm sorry, but I can't accept your favor.
He owes her enough.
If the accident hadn't happened back then, she would have a happy family, a husband who loves her and obedient children, instead of living alone all her life like now, and cleaning up the mess for him.
Watching Mao Dong rush out of the door, Zhong Ling's clenched nails were deeply embedded in her palms.
Out of sight, a tear slowly slipped down the corner of her eye.
It was her sadness, and her hardship.
***
Liang Ju was originally in charge of the guest reception in the box, but the lobby manager was afraid that she would be unskilled in her work and neglect the guests in the box, so she asked her to go to the door to be responsible for customer reception.
All the old employees of Beixing are familiar with Zhang Tianliang, who is noble and picky, and they all say that it is inconvenient for them to push each other in the past when they have guests, Liang Ju is shallow and volunteered.
Zhang Tianliang saw Liang Ju for the first time, and when he saw that the little girl was good-looking and had a good figure, he couldn't help but have a hook.
Liang Ju took Zhang Tianliang to the VIP room on the second floor, and when he walked on the stairs, he happened to meet a wave of customers who went downstairs, Liang Ju had already stepped on several steps, and if he couldn't go up or down, he stood in the middle of the stairs and leaned sideways to give way to the customers who came down, Zhang Tianliang saw her clinging to the wall, and also walked up, reaching out to support Liang Ju's waist.
"How cold the wall is, don't freeze it."
His voice was low and thin, without a man's sense of heroism, which made Liang Ju instantly have goosebumps.
It happened that the guests who went downstairs all went down, Liang Ju hurriedly took a small step forward to avoid Zhang Tianliang's hand, and continued to take him and several of his brothers upstairs.
Zhang Tianliang had a lingering fragrance in his hand, seeing that Liang Ju's skirt was not above the knee because of the step of going upstairs was lifted a little, and from below, he could directly see a beautiful scenery close to his thighs from the knees, and the corners of his mouth were very obscenely curled.
As soon as Liang Ju stepped on the corner of the stairs, she caught a glimpse of the door of the first box pushing open from the inside, and she took a look at it and found that it was Sha Pei and Ah Yuan who walked out of it one after another with blue faces.
"Sand"
As soon as he shouted a word, he thought that there were guests behind him, Liang Ju just smiled and nodded at Shapi, and it happened that Shapi also saw her at this time.
Liang Ju's smile, Sha Pei didn't have time to take it all in his eyes, when he saw Zhang Tianliang emerging from behind her.
"Yo, isn't this our famous Shapego now!" Zhang Tianliang was stunned at first when he saw Sha Pei, and then rubbed his chin and teased.
Ah Yuan deliberately stopped Sha Pei and spoke before him, "Zhang Gongzi finally came here with his friends, you have to entertain him well." ”
He said this to Liang Ju, since Liang Ju is a waiter here, he must obey, so he had no choice but to nod.
Shapi felt that why let his sister entertain the bastard, reached out to push Ah Yuan away, and went to pull Liang Ju's hand.
"She's taking a leave of absence tonight, not working!"
"What do you want to do!"
His move not only made Ah Yuan afraid that he would make trouble, but also gave Zhang Tianliang an excuse to make trouble.
A-Yuan went up to stop Sha Pei, but Sha Pei threw him backhanded, Zhang Tianliang and a few friends stood there watching, laughing and began to provoke.
"This Shar Pei's temper is still the same as back then, and it's really a mud that can't hold up the wall."
"Who the are you talking about! There is a kind of you to put it on Lao Tzu again! ”
Suddenly, Sha Pei reached out and locked Zhang Tianliang's throat directly, Zhang Tianliang's face turned pale, and several buddies behind him were suddenly shocked, and one of them raised his fist and hit Sha Pi in the face, Sha Pei dodged, raised his foot and slammed it into the man's stomach.
The man fell backwards hard, Zhang Tianliang was held by Sha Pei's neck and dragged forward a few steps, "I sue you, don't think that you are some kind of bullshit boss, I have to be afraid of you, if you have the ability, you can find me alone, don't come here to find trouble!" ”
"You, you" Zhang Tianliang's face was flushed, his mouth was slightly open, and his words were incomplete.
A-Yuan also shouted loudly on the side: "Sha Pei, stop it for me!" Do you want to die? ”
Liang Ju was frightened by this sudden scene, this is a public place, in case there is really trouble, it is Beixing who will be implicated in the end.
In the final analysis, no matter how much he makes trouble, it is Mao Dong who takes the blame for him!
Sha's temper Liang Ju understood, and she went over to hold Shapi's arm, "Brother Shapi, this is our place, you have to think about your brother." ”
"Then I can't let people bully me!"
Shar Pei was angry, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and his face was hideous.
Liang Ju's words made sense, just when Sha Pei hesitated, Zhang Tianliang pushed with both hands and raised his feet, and pushed the unsuspecting Sha Pei to the ground.
"You're looking for death!"
As soon as Sha Pei wanted to get up from the ground, the box door behind him was opened, and Mao Dong came out of it with a fierce face.
And behind him, Zhong Ling came out together.
Liang Ju saw the person he hadn't seen for a long time, and his heart, which had been stable, suddenly rippled.
The passage on the second floor, which is not very spacious, suddenly became crowded because of these people.
An unknown waiter passed by, thinking that the boss had an accident and stood aside.
Sha Pei was helped up from the ground by Ah Yuan and Liang Ju, and Mao Dong glanced at him with dark eyes.
"Shar Pei, are you alright?" Zhong Ling worriedly followed Mao Dong out of the private room.
Liang Ju saw the two of them coming out together, lowered his eyebrows, and felt awkward.
Mao Dong put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Zhang Tianliang.
The originally clamoring scene suddenly made everyone restrain because of his appearance.
"Zhang Shao, don't come unharmed." Mao Dong smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Compared with his indifferent appearance, Zhang Tianliang was very proud.
He threw his chin back and snorted, glanced at Sand Pei, and spat the ground.
His actions did not succeed in provoking Mao Dong.
Mao Dong said: "The private room has been prepared, and I am still bothered to move Zhang Shao. ”
Ever since he appeared and stood there, Liang Ju had been obediently standing behind with the crowd.
Her every move she watched closely.
Suddenly, he turned his head sideways and glanced in the direction of Liang Ju.
Liang Ju's heart froze, and he had time to dodge in the future, and his eyes collided with Mao Dongkankan in the air.
