Red wine like this produced abroad is very expensive in itself, and it must be double the price outside if it is sold in a high-end entertainment venue such as a performing arts bar.

As a small security guard of Haizhou Hotel, Zhang Qiu's monthly salary will not exceed more than 3,000 yuan, but he generously ordered such expensive red wine, which shows that he has a great background, and it is by no means as simple as it seems.

Thinking of this, Wang Shao couldn't help but have more eyes, and secretly thought about Zhang Qiu's motive and purpose for inviting him to drink.

Taking the red wine that had been opened from the waiter's hand, Zhang Qiu skillfully poured two and a half glasses of red wine, handed a glass to Wang Shao, and said casually: "Come, I apologize for the complaint you were told about just now, I respect you for this cup." ”

It turned out that the motivation for the drink was simply because of the scene in the hallway on the 13th floor.

Originally, Wang Shao was still a little wary, but he didn't expect Zhang Qiu to be too cautious because of that incident.

Faced with Zhang Qiu being so polite, Wang Shao was embarrassed to refuse, and immediately tilted his neck and swallowed half a glass of red wine into his stomach.

A hint of astringency spreads quickly from the tip of the tongue to the mouth, giving people a lingering sweetness.

Tasting the essence of red wine for the first time in his life, Wang Shao couldn't help but smash his lips and immerse himself in it.

"This is an authentic Bordeaux red wine, with good stamina, and no matter how much you drink, you won't get up." Zhang Qiu continued with insight, and poured two and a half cups again.

Wang Shao, who was not good at words, hurriedly took out his cigarette and lit them separately, which was regarded as a polite response to Zhang Qiu's courtesy.

After pouring the second glass of red wine again, Zhang Qiu took over the conversation and said, "By the way, you said that you came here to play with your friends, is it our Manager Ding?" ”

"Manager Ding?" Wang Shao answered, and then realized that the Zhang Qiu in front of him was so polite to himself, it should be related to Ding Guoyan.

When I met Ding Guoyan at the elevator just now, Zhang Qiu left in a hurry as if he was a little taboo, but now Zaijian is to Wang Shao, but he is so enthusiastic, it is clear that he loves the house and Wu, and the reason for this is self-evident.

Perhaps in Zhang Qiu's opinion, he may offend Ding Guoyan by handling complaints against Wang Shao, so he will treat Wang Shao politely and be sincere about what happened just now.

Shaking his head with a light smile, Wang Shao explained: "No, it's another friend who stayed in the hotel with me." ”

Zhang Qiu was a little clever and said: "Oh, is it that your friends can't withstand the temptation of those young ladies, so they quietly run to open a room and leave you alone here." ”

Hearing Zhang Qiu's slightly joking words, Wang Shao was not in the mood to joke, and said, "No, my friend is a woman." ”

A trace of embarrassment slipped across Zhang Qiu's face, and then he put away his smile and continued: "You and your girlfriend are coming to perform together, right?" ”

Wang Shao nodded, and was thinking about how to explain to Zhang Qiu, and took the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the performing arts bar, when he heard Zhang Qiu take over and say: "You mean, your girlfriend went into the box with other people to consume and left you alone outside?" ”

Hearing Zhang Qiu's question, Wang Shao couldn't cry or laugh, feeling that if he didn't explain it clearly, he was afraid that Zhang Qiu would still have a misunderstanding.

If it can be explained clearly, it will involve the matter of the cousin, and then it will involve the secret of finding out Xiaofei's whereabouts.

Although the Zhang Qiu in front of him was polite, he didn't know his heart, and Wang Shao was not sure that he was a good person.

After experiencing the incident of the security captain, Wang Shao will be wary when dealing with similar situations.

Even so, you have to give a sentence to be able to make Zhang Qiu understand.

How to explain it to him?

After drinking the second half glass of red wine with his neck tilted, Wang Shao changed the subject and said, "Do you often come here to play?" ”

Since he couldn't explain it clearly, Wang Shao simply avoided talking about it and shifted the topic to Zhang Qiu.

Hearing this, Zhang Qiu continued without thinking: "Do you have any problems, you might as well raise them directly, if I can help, I will definitely not refuse." ”

It is not difficult to see from the fact that Zhang Qiu is not the kind of person who beats around the bush, he likes to be bold and direct.

Maybe he had already seen that Wang Shao had something on his mind, so he would answer like this.

"Okay." Wang Shao was no longer polite, stabilized his mood a little, and took over the conversation: "That's the case, a friend of mine came here to play, but she didn't go back to the room, I just wanted to come and see, and I don't know if she entered the box." ”

Zhang Qiu seemed to have an understanding and said: "You mean, you want to ask me if I have any acquaintances here, can you help inquire if your friend has entered which guest's box?" ”

Wang Shao nodded and said, "Just now you saw me wandering in the passage at the door of the box, that is, I was thinking about how to get in and find someone." ”

"That friend of yours lives in room 1 on the 13th floor?" Zhang Qiu continued: "Before you knocked on the door and disturbed the next door and caused a complaint, also because you were looking for this friend?" ”

Seeing that Wang Shao did not deny it, Zhang Qiu fell into a short silence, and Wang Shao did not ask, smoking the cigarette between his fingers fiercely.

After a full 15 seconds, Zhang Qiu continued: "It's definitely not okay for you to go into the box like this to find someone, but it's a pity that I don't have any acquaintances in the performing arts bar, otherwise I can help ask." ”

Zhang Qiu's answer made Wang Shao a little disappointed, originally expecting Zhang Qiu to help, but he didn't expect that Zhang Qiu was just an ordinary guest who came here to consume.

After thanking Zhang Qiu for his kindness, Wang Shao stood up decisively and prepared to leave.

At the moment, not only Xiao Fei's whereabouts are missing, but even the cousin who came here to inquire about the news is nowhere to be found.

The most important thing is that Xiaoqing has not been found yet.

Although Xiaoqing has rich social experience and is not the kind of woman who is easy to be fooled, Wang Shao is still a little worried.

After all, this is a provincial capital, not Bangkang.

In Bangkang, Xiaoqing can call for wind and rain and cover the sky with one hand, but not here.

The most important thing is that Xiaoqing came to the performing arts with Ding Guoyan because he wanted to help track down his cousin's information, in case something happened because of this, how could Wang Shao's conscience go willingly?

It seems that the focus of the problem has gathered on Xiaoqing, and Wang Shao can't wait to figure out the situation of this acting bar.

Wang Shao vaguely felt that this acting bar was not as simple as it seemed.

Even in the kitchen room of Haizhou Hotel, there will be characters like Tu Zhiqiang, and the performing arts bar belongs to a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and it is inevitable that there will be a dark side.

Seeing that Wang Shao got up to leave, Zhang Qiu grabbed his arm and said hurriedly: "You haven't drunk half of the red wine yet, what are you anxious about, sit down for a while." ”

"No, thanks, I still have to find my friend." Wang Shao was too lazy to be verbose, shook off Zhang Qiu's pull, turned around and was about to leave.

At the moment, not only is his cousin missing, but even Xiaoqing is nowhere to be found, where does Wang Shao still have the leisure to sit down and chat with Zhang Qiu?

I promised to accompany Zhang Qiu to drink two glasses just now, and I also wanted to use his relationship to see if I could find out the whereabouts of Xiaoqing or my cousin, and now that I understand that Zhang Qiu is just an ordinary guest who comes to the performing arts bar to consume, Wang Shao decided to leave.

But Zhang Qiu didn't plan to let Wang Shao leave.

Think about it, if you just apologize for your previous complaints, you don't need to buy such an expensive red wine to entertain you.

Sure enough, Zhang Qiu revealed his true intentions.

"If you're not in a hurry, sit down and have two more drinks." Zhang Qiu replied with a smiling face: "I want to ask you a question." ”

Zhang Qiu wants to ask himself a question?

Wang Shao wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, and then thought again, even if he had something worth asking Zhang Qiu for, he didn't have the leisure right now.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Wang Shao replied: "I'm sorry, I'm really anxious to find my friend, so I have to leave, if there is any problem, let's talk about it another day." ”

Seeing that Wang Shao insisted on leaving, Zhang Qiu was inconvenient to stay, so he immediately said with an embarrassed face: "Okay, since you are in such a hurry, I don't dare to delay you, so let's do it, I'll give you the phone number, and we'll contact you again." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Qiu gave Wang Shao a phone number, and Wang Shao directly put it in his pocket, turned around and walked towards the position of the bar.

After asking the waiter at the bar again to check the box and being refused, Wang Shao was a little annoyed and asked Weishenme sharply.

The waiter explained that this is a high-end entertainment venue, and it is impossible to accept Wang Shao's request.

"If you really want to find a friend, I suggest you sit at the small round table near the door, we have only one exit from the show bar, if your friend is still inside, when we close, they will naturally come out." The waiter offered a compromise.

This is also a way to do it, although it seems clumsy, like waiting for the rabbit, but it can only be like this.

In desperation, Wang Shao had to sit at the table at the door according to the waiter's suggestion.

At this time, it was less than an hour before the closing time of the performing arts bar, Wang Shao sat patiently at the door, smoking a smoky cigarette, but his eyes were fixed on every guest who came out of the box area, hoping to see Xiaoqing or Xiang Lianghai.

Before a cigarette was finished, a figure appeared in front of him, blocking Wang Shao's gaze towards the box.

This figure is none other than Zhang Qiu, who invited Wang Shao to drink red wine before.

It seemed that Zhang Qiu was about to go out, but when he saw Wang Shao sitting at the door, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he shouted in his mouth: "Hey, are you still here?" ”

Seeing Zhang Qiu again, Wang Shao was inconvenient to refuse people thousands of miles away, so he immediately beckoned Zhang Qiu to sit down and told him the proposal given to him by the waiter.

After listening to Wang Shao's explanation, Zhang Qiu nodded suddenly and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of this method before." ”

As he spoke, he said, "You and your friend have a good relationship, so you have to wait to go back to the room together." ”

"Not exactly." Wang Shao shook his head with a wry smile and said, without explaining this.

Zhang Qiu took out an envelope from under the table like a trick and handed it to Wang Shaodao: "Please help me hand this over to Manager Ding." ”
