Chapter Twenty-Four: The Bar of Youth

Walking out of the bar, Chen Youshan showed a helpless wry smile on his face, and after sighing softly, he walked forward unhurriedly. He was ready to be rejected as early as when he went in, but what he didn't expect was that the reason for the other party's refusal was actually such a reason. Although Xu Bunian said it very tactfully, he could still hear his scruples about Zhao Tiancheng and knew that he didn't want to offend Zhao Tiancheng because of himself.

After walking for five or six minutes, another bar appeared in his sight, and on the glass door next to this bar, there was also a job advertisement.

Without hesitation, he walked straight in and found the person in charge of the bar. After a few words of discussion, the other party was not dissatisfied, and after making sure that he could stay up all night, he asked him to come over tomorrow for a three-day trial.

Just when Chen Youshan was happy, the other party's phone suddenly rang, and after connecting it, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Youshan with some astonishment, which made him inexplicable for a while.

"Yes, I see." After hanging up the phone, he looked at Chen Youshan with some complexity and said, "I'm sorry, the boss told me just now that the bar is full, so you won't use it tomorrow." ”

Chen Youshan glanced at him thoughtfully, just nodded, didn't say anything, and turned around and left directly. He wasn't stupid, and of course he could guess that the other party's sudden change of mind was related to the phone call. Although he also wanted to know who was calling and what was said on the other end of the phone, it was obviously impossible. Since this is no longer possible, there is no point in saying anything more.

However, what he didn't expect was that he then found three more bars, and all of them were rejected without exception, but they refused more thoroughly, and they didn't even give a chance to try them. One of them even waited for him at the door early, and before he could speak, they had already said no.

He sat down on a bench on the side of the road outside, and was silent as he watched the lights in front of him.

This thing was very strange, and he vaguely thought of a possibility, but he didn't dare to be sure. Because he couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's doing. If you really want to retaliate, it seems to be much more painful to do it directly.

In the distance, a young man in a T-shirt watched around for a while and ran directly towards him.

"Chen Youshan, Mr. Chen?" He looked at Chen Youshan with some uncertainty.

Chen Youshan looked at him vigilantly: "Something?" ”

Seeing that he did not deny it, the young man said, "Our boss wants to see you." ”

"What's the matter?"

The young man said, "He wants to talk to you about work. ”

"Work?" The corners of Chen Youshan's eyes jumped, and he looked at him suspiciously.

The young man nodded, did not speak much, and made a gesture of please.

After Chen Youshan thought about it, he got up and walked over.

I followed the young man five or six hundred meters and came to a bar in a decent location.

Youth bar, a very youthful name.

Chen Youshan glanced back at the young man.

The young man had no intention of explaining, and motioned for him to go inside.

Just as he was about to take a step, several young men with dyed hair of various colors came out of it swearing and swaggering past them.

Chen Youshan was a little surprised, and looked back at the young man again.

The young man smiled bitterly, still not wanting to explain, and motioned for him to go inside again.

"What a bar, it's so messy, no wonder there's no business." A young couple walked out of it with a face full of anger and passed by Chen Youshan. Looking at them like this, it seems that they have suffered some kind of unhappiness inside.

Entering the bar, a deserted scene appeared in front of Chen Youshan's eyes, a few people who didn't know whether they were guests or waiters were sitting there scattered, in stark contrast to the previous bustle of One Bund, if he didn't know the current time, he would even wonder if it was 1 a.m. or 1 p.m.

"Mr. Chen, our boss is there." The young man pointed to a spot on the second floor of the bar.

Chen Youshan looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes holding a wine glass and gestured slightly to him. He didn't hesitate and went straight to the second floor.

"Sit." The middle-aged man gestured to the spot opposite him.

Chen Youshan was not polite, just sat in a little position, looked at him quietly, and waited for him to speak.

"Drinking?" The middle-aged man picked up the bottle of red wine on the table that Chen Youshan couldn't name, and directly filled the cup in front of him.

Chen Youshan shook his head.

The middle-aged man didn't care, poured his cup to the brim again, raised his head and drank it all, as if he said casually: "I don't know how to drink, how can I work in a bar?" ”

Chen Youshan hesitated for a while, picked up the glass of wine and poured it down. I don't know if it was because he was in a hurry or because he wasn't used to it, he choked hard.

"Ahem......"

only coughed, and was forced to endure by him.

"Hahahaha......" The middle-aged man seemed to see a very interesting thing, suddenly laughed, and then said with a serious face: "Sometimes, you should stick to your own position, and you should not be swayed by others." If you don't know how to drink, then you don't drink, so why embarrass yourself to cater to others? ”

Chen Youshan was silent for a moment and said, "For survival." ”

The middle-aged man was visibly stunned for a moment, and then laughed, a heartfelt smile.

"My name is Liang Wanchuan, and I'm the owner of this bar." The middle-aged man stretched out his right hand.

Chen Youshan stretched out his hand and shook it: "Chen Youshan." ”

"I know you." Liang Wanchuan looked at him and said, "You must be wondering why I'm looking for you, right?" ”

Chen Youshan nodded.

"I heard you were looking for a job in the first few bars?"

Chen Youshan nodded again.

"Any idea why they refused?"

Chen Youshan shook his head.

"Half an hour ago, I got a phone call." Liang Wanchuan didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he poured another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"The call came from a person with some energy, and he didn't say much, just said that if a person named Chen Youshan came to look for a job, it would be good to refuse."

Chen Youshan didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

"This phone call made me suddenly interested in you, and then I inquired and learned what happened at One on the Bund last night." Liang Wanchuan looked at him with burning eyes, "You tell me the truth, did you know Zhao Tiancheng's identity at that time?" ”

Chen Youshan still shook his head and said, "Even now, I don't know what his identity is. To tell you the truth, I just arrived in the capital yesterday. ”

The corners of Liang Wanchuan's mouth curled into a smile, and he looked at him with a gaze that seemed to be insightful of everything: "Just arrived in the capital and went to the bar to have fun?" And you know that the woman is still looking for you? That's not something a smart person would do. Unless you really have some deep background. ”

"I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have any background, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to find something to do."

"You just went to the bar when you arrived in the capital? What to do in a bar? ”

"Drink."

"You just said you don't drink."

The corners of Chen Youshan's eyes jumped, and he suddenly felt like he had stepped on a trap.

Liang Wanchuan looked him up and down: "It can be seen from your outfit that your family background is not very good." Such people generally do not enter a place like a bar. ”

Chen Youshan's gaze became sharp, faintly tingling with a hint of unkindness.

Liang Wanchuan's social experience is obviously unusually rich, and after noticing his changes, he stopped and did not continue, in other words: "I don't want to inquire about your past, nor do I want to know why you entered that bar for, let alone why you offended a person you can't afford to offend for a woman, I just want to know more about you as a person." ”

Chen Youshan's gaze returned to normal, but he still didn't speak.

"Want to know who called me?" Liang Wanchuan set his eyes on the empty dance floor below, his expression a little complicated.

Chen Youshan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "What if you know?" ”

Liang Wanchuan laughed again and looked at him with some sighs: "Your performance is really very inconsistent with your age." ”

Chen Youshan smiled.

"Want to know why this bar is the way it is?"

Chen Youshan looked down and didn't say anything, knowing that he wasn't asking for his opinion at all.

Sure enough, Liang Wanchuan continued: "A year ago, because of some things in business, I offended a person I shouldn't have offended and couldn't afford to offend. I paid a big price for this. This bar is one of them. You might not expect that this bar was doing even better business than One on the Bund in the first place. Just ten minutes ago, I watched a few thugs make trouble here and blow the only two guests away. ”

Chen Youshan was a little stunned.

"Isn't it strange that I didn't do anything?" Liang Wanchuan sighed and said bitterly: "I have worked hard, but you also know that my arms can't twist my thighs, I can clean up one gangster and ten scoundrels, but I can't clean up a hundred and a thousand." What's more, I've hurt this bar in the process, and the customers of this bar already feel that it's not safe here. So, it didn't take long for the bar's business to plummet and eventually fell to this point. To tell you the truth, this bar has been losing money for almost a year, and all the money it made in previous years has been put into it. ”

Chen Youshan looked at him and stopped talking.

Liang Wanchuan smiled: "Do you want to ask why I insist?" Why not just close the door? ”

Chen Youshan laughed, and suddenly felt that in front of the person in front of him, he seemed to be unable to hide anything.

"Because I'm not reconciled." Liang Wanchuan gritted his teeth a little, "Even if I have been in this society for so many years, I still have arrogance in my bones." I was not willing to just step down like that. I can't swallow this breath. I can't swallow this mouthful. I want my opponents to keep their eyes open and see that even if they're stumbling on me, I'm going to be alive and well. ”
