I've never seen a house like this.

There are no hanging cobwebs, no tattered window paper, but when you go in, you feel chills down your spine, eerie.

The walls were black glazed with a thrilling cold light, the floor was black marble, refracted by the moonlight with a terrible whiteness, and the black curtains fluttered in the night breeze, highlighting the figure of the man hiding in it.

With a cigarette in his hand, he was looking at the skyscraper in the distance with his back to me, his black shirt blending in with the dark room, and I could only discern his position by the red light emitted by the cigarette butt, at a 45-degree angle to me.

I was just about to open my mouth to call Boss Huo, when the light suddenly snapped on, and the miserable white pierced through my pupils and pierced straight in, I instinctively blocked my eyes with my arm, and I didn't see when he touched the switch.

After I recovered, I tried to open it a little bit to meet the light, because the room was all black, so the white light was particularly dazzling and clear in the color aberration, and I felt that my eyes were sore and uncomfortable, and I especially wanted to cry, as if I was blown by a strong wind.

Boss Huo walked around the window and sat down behind the table, he extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette in the ashtray, he looked at me with a smile, "Feng Jin, long time no see." ”

His simple and gentle opening remarks made me not know how to speak, I had to cooperate with him to say that I hadn't seen him for a long time, I removed my hand from my eyes and looked at Boss Huo, who was about ten meters away from me, he put his hands together on the table, and his neckline was wide open, until the third horizontal bone of his chest was exposed.

I haven't seen him much in the past two years, at least I didn't pay special attention, occasionally met on the street, he was also sitting in the car in a flash, I didn't recognize whether it was far away, so I looked at his skin a lot darker, looked wild, masculine is particularly strong, he changed his hairstyle, cut off the original bangs, combed a back similar to Mr. Ji, but Mr. Ji especially likes to play odorless hair wax and mousse to style his hair, always seems to be able to shine, especially bright, the wind blows without moving, neat as if painting, And Boss Huo just fixed it with hairspray, and the air smelled with a crisp aroma.

When I came to South China from my hometown, I planned to work in a nightclub, I found here with a newspaper that published the recruitment information of Carmen Banquet, it was the mother of the second group who interviewed me, one group was a princess duck, done in the private room, and the conditions of the second group were relatively higher, and I was a famous lady in the hall and the luxury suite, and I was very demanding on the means and brains between those uncles every day.

Those who are slow to react and not smart can easily offend these gods of wealth and snub their interest, after all, the field cannot make a windfall by relying on those people who steal fish, and they have to slaughter these wronged leaders in order to get rich.

The second group of mommy eyes are very tricky, she didn't look at me at first sight, she was not satisfied with all my places, she asked me to find the manager of the private room, said that the waiter was still short of manpower, I stopped her and said that she wanted to be a red card, she thought it was very funny, and patted my face with her hand, "Girl, didn't you look in the mirror when you went out?" Which nightclub red card in the world is as earthy as yours? ”

She took two steps back and looked at the floral dress I was wearing, her eyes were full of mockery, "Go to the street to see how others dress up, wait for when you look like a person, and then dream of being a red card, whimsical There is no way out in South China, this is a place to eat people." ”

The second half of her sentence frightened me, I lost the strength to speak, and stood there a little decadently with the newspaper, should I go back to work as a shampoo assistant, with a salary of less than a thousand, soaked in inferior and cheap shampoo every day, watching my skin become yellow and dull little by little, and completely lost its luster by poverty.

Do I live until death in that impoverished town that will always be forgotten, where the men are too rough, either farmers or odd jobs everywhere, tanned in summer and chapped in winter, never seen the world in their lives, trampled at the bottom, and too poor to lift their heads even for their wives and children.

I don't want to go back, I'd rather die outside than grow old in that environment, so that my children can continue to suffer from this kind of suffering that their ancestors can't get rid of.

I grabbed Mommy's arm, like I had finally grabbed a life-saving straw, I couldn't let go, but no matter what I said, she couldn't look down on me, I couldn't go back, I felt that I would be ruined in that town in my life, I knelt down at Mommy, I begged her to keep me, we attracted all the ladies in the hall in the tug, their jewels and colorful dresses kept flashing in my eyes, I longed to become a woman like them, I pulled Mommy's leg hard, knelt on the ground and refused to let go, I didn't expect that there was Boss Huo who had just come back from a party in the crowd at that time, he watched for a long time, until someone found him later, they scattered to both sides, making way for a passage, he walked towards me, stood in front of him silently, stared at me for a while, he was the most beautiful man I saw after I walked out of that town, so I remembered him at once.

I remember him pulling me up from the cold and hard ground, I remember him brushing away the long hair that covered my face, I remember him holding my hand and holding his business card together, and he told me his name word by word, Huo Yanchen. The inkstone of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, red dust.

It was the first time I knew that men could wear perfume, the first time I knew that tall men wore tuxedos more upright than suits, and for the first time, I knew that the breath in men's mouths wasn't necessarily smelly, and men in big cities would brush their teeth and chew gum, but only in the small town where I lived, men often didn't wash their faces when they were busy.

I admit that there was a period of time when I had thought about Boss Huo, and if he hadn't told Mommy to keep me, I didn't know what kind of virtues I would have in South China, and whether there was Feng Jin, who had infinite beauty.

Boss Huo is the first man I have ever liked.

But I didn't tell anyone.

Even when I see him now, it still brings back many memories and touches the most silent string in my heart.

I sat in the chair opposite him, he didn't say much to greet and greet, like a reunion of friends who hadn't seen him for many years, he asked me if I had tea, and I said I wasn't thirsty. He asked me if I was okay and I said I wanted to come back.

A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it soon faded away, and he smiled and stared at me silently, as if wondering what nail I had struck to eat the grass.

Seeing that he didn't refuse, I immediately offered the most important condition, "I want to do a red card." ”

My request was expected by him, and he naturally asked me, "What level of red card?" ”

I spat out three words categorically, "White Jasmine." ”

He laughed, "Ambition is good, but I can't guarantee that." The night market changes dynasties quickly, and too many women want to make money here, so the field has the initiative, and they can pick good seedlings at will, or they can discard useless rotten seeds at any time. Now that white jasmine is the pillar of the Carmen feast, I can't put a sure one not to hold it, take the risk of trying to make you red, how much energy and material it takes to win a top brand, you know very well. ”

I said, "I understand, but my strength Boss Huo also knows that during my time in the casino, I had a bad time because of its own darkness, but I haven't forgotten how to control men, I'm not Feng Jin who was still very young in the past and stumbled by luck and was made popular by you, I am a woman who has experienced a lot, understands opportunities and knows how to be grateful, Bai Jasmine I just met downstairs, she is older than me, and she can be popular for a few years." ”

Boss Huo was stunned for a moment, and then he chuckled lowly, "You can see your advantages very clearly." ”

He picked up the water cup from the corner of the table, brought it to his lips and took a sip, "But I want to know, what is the reason why I kept you like that and offered a very good price, and you were not impressed, and gave up a good future to follow a man." ”

I didn't hesitate to say, "For love." ”

He snorted, "So why are you coming back now?" ”

This time I was a little hesitant, I hesitated, "For the money." ”

The laugh lines hidden in the flesh on his face couldn't hold back at all, and he laughed out loud and laughed for a long time, "So what about the love you insisted on throwing away everything to pursue." ”

I felt like I had been slapped in the face in front of everyone, the kind that was very cruel, no different from the shame of stripping naked and parading the streets, I took a deep breath, "It's gone." ”

He put the cup back in the tray, "I said at the beginning, stepping out of the door of the Carmen banquet, you will definitely regret it, because the love you are stubbornly pursuing, is only pinned on a man's short-term interest, you think it is long-lasting, it is hot, this is the innocent fantasy that every woman who falls into the trap of love will have, from the night club to the casino, you have changed places, but your essence has not changed, you are still a man's plaything." ”

The Boss Huo in my memory is not a violent person, but he always sees blood and seals his throat, which makes people afraid, and his fear of him is completely different from that of Mr. Ji.

His personality is just like his looks, gentle and elegant, personable, he never loses his temper, he rules Carmen Yan in a benevolent way, and when he encounters inflated and presumptuous employees, he will directly eliminate them, without giving a chance, he is resolute and gentle, when he is good to you, you will be fluttering, but when he is bad to you, you want to breathe is a dream.

He is the salvation of the day and the tyrant of the night.

If Mr. Ji is a complete bad guy, he exposes his viciousness and does not hide his ruthlessness, while Boss Huo wears a mask of hypocrisy, and the good guys and bad guys are in his thoughts.

Such a person is even more terrifying, because you never know that in the next second he will be your benefactor or your enemy.

He didn't immediately refuse or promise, but asked me to go back first, and he weighed the pros and cons before giving me an answer.
