Chapter 18: Flower Boss
In a private room at the easternmost end of the second floor of Ruyi Xuan, a young man stood by the window, looking at the endless crowd on the street outside the window, as if he was looking for something.
When the shopkeeper Qin knocked on the door with the herb, the young man came back from his stunned eyes, withdrew his gaze from looking at the street, and responded to the knock.
"Come in!" the magnetic voice sounded indistinguishable.
Shopkeeper Qin pushed open the door and saluted the man respectfully, before he hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the herb with both hands: "Childe, look at this!" At the same time, he briefly explained what had just happened downstairs.
The man put the herb in his slender and white fingers and looked at it for a moment, then leaned closer to his nose and sniffed it, and finally changed his low and suppressed voice just now, and laughed heartily: "Bring people here!"
Shopkeeper Qin withdrew and hurriedly went downstairs to call for the treasure bead.
In the private room, the man was still holding the herb and muttered in a low voice, "You finally appeared! It's been a year, I've been waiting for you here for a year......
When the shopkeeper Qin led the jewel to the second floor, the jewel found that the first floor of Ruyi Xuan was just a hall for ordinary people to eat, and although the decoration was also attentive, it was not exquisite enough. I went up the stairs to the second floor, but there was no bustle of the hall on the first floor, and there were private rooms on both sides of the corridor, and occasionally through the closed door, I could still hear the sound of the piano winding around the beams coming from the private room.
This second floor should be specially designed for high-end consumer groups, so the decoration materials and craftsmanship are more exquisite than the first floor.
Walking to the door of the easternmost private room, the shopkeeper Qin stopped and motioned for Baozhu to enter by himself.
The door was hidden, and the jewel pushed the door in, only to see that the first thing that caught my eye in the private room was a hollow screen carved from rosewood, behind which was a low table carved from good sandalwood, and next to it were four small sandalwood chairs with the same delicate patterns, and a delicate incense burner on the table was wafting light smoke, spreading the unique smell of agarwood to all corners of the private room.
In the room, a man with a tall figure standing with his back to the door turned around when he heard the movement.
The man has long hair that is smooth and smooth like fine silk satin, untied and untied behind him, and has a pair of narrow and bewitching eyes under the delicate and feminine-like eyebrows, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, the red lips are lightly pursed, as if smiling but not smiling, and in the hands like jade, he is holding a bone jade fan on one side, and the herb that the jewel has just touched out of the baggage.
The most conspicuous thing is the man's clothes, the white-bottomed robe, there are all kinds of colorful flowers that she can't name, and the flowers are so gorgeous! But the man's delicate skin like white porcelain jade is lined with those colors, which does not look gaudy at all, but makes him feel more demonic.
Baozhu looked at the man in a daze, but his heart was boiling like a river: why are the men in this Marfa continent so beautiful, so handsome, and so bewitching......
When the man saw Baozhu come in, he first looked at her fixedly for a moment, and then the smile on his face bloomed wildly, enchanting like a rose at midnight, and Baozhu immediately felt that his heart beat half a beat slower......
"Name!" the man pursed his lips.
"Huh?" Baozhu was still in a state of brain failure when he heard the man speak.
"Name?" the man repeated.
"Orb. ”
"Age?"
"Twenty-four. ”
The man raised his beautiful eyebrows, and Baozhu immediately thought of something, and hurriedly said, "There are still six years to go, only twenty-four." ”
"You can't afford Ruyixuan's consumption?no money?" The man changed the topic and suddenly hit the nail on the head.
When Baozhu heard this, his brain was relieved. Thinking that he was penniless and still owed thirty coins in debt, he immediately put away the little star in his eyes and entered the role of a poor debtor.
"I came out in such a hurry that I forgot to bring the money......"
"Where did you get the Spirit Tongue Grass?" the man asked, raising the herb he was holding.
"This ...... It was picked randomly on the way, and I didn't know what it was. Baozhu replied vigilantly.
The first half of the sentence was made up by her, and she would definitely not say that she brought it out from Qingxi Village; Qingxi Village is full of such grasses, and she eats these unknown grasses every day for a year, never thinking about what they are and what their effects are.
The man didn't ask any more questions, but his eyes glanced at her left wrist as if he had not yet done so. Since the orb left Qingxi Village, she has been wearing the bracer that Bai Yu gave her, and there is a flame spirit rope hidden underneath.
The man's gaze finally fell on the small burden on her right shoulder, and asked, "What are your specialties?"
"Huh?" Again, Baozhu didn't keep up with him, a little surprised.
"I ask you, what will you do?" the man patiently asked the question in a different way, and when he saw that Baozhu was still looking at her in surprise, he said, "You owe me thirty coins, you have to pay me back, right?"
"Aren't these herbs enough for thirty coins?" asked Bao Zhu weakly. Bai Yu said that maybe she would be able to use these herbs, how did she think they could be worth a few dollars?
"To me, none of this is worth much. The man raised his eyebrows again, and then said, "Since you have nothing to pledge, then you must stay and work for me until you pay off your debts." ”
“......”
"So, what will you do?"
Baozhu suddenly felt that a beautiful man or something had a black heart......
Orb does not answer. Not because she didn't want to answer, but she was also thinking about what she would do.
In reality, after graduating from Baozhu University, he stayed on to work directly and worked as a counselor for less than a year. In addition to making those tables that make her head big every day, what are the statistical tables of poor students and student awards...... It's just talking to students endlessly, talking about students' grades, talking about students' psychological problems...... Outside of work, she is nothing more than playing "Magic" in the dormitory, reading books and sleeping.
After inexplicably crossing over, she became a pig who didn't have to do anything for a year......
"Or ...... Shall I help you wash the dishes?" asked the creditor weakly.
"Ruyixuan's most common bowl or plate is worth more than a hundred yuan, are you sure you want to do the work of washing dishes?" the man said.
"That ......" Baozhu quickly calculated in his mind, and he owed thirty coins after sitting in Ruyi Xuan for a while, and was forced to pay it off, if he accidentally broke the bowl while washing the dishes and smashed the plates, then the debt really can't be repaid. Well, you can't do any work that deals with bowls and plates!
"Why don't I be the cashier?" said Baozhu quickly. Although there is no Marfa continent that does not use a calculator, but I used to learn how to plan when I was in school, and it should be no problem to collect an account or something.
"Someone cashiered. ”
"That'...... Why don't I greet the guests?"
"Okay! That's it! All food and lodging are included, arrears and your food and lodging expenses are deducted from your salary, and the probation period is ...... Half a year first!" The man readily agreed, as if this was exactly what he was waiting for.
"By the way, see me in the future and call me Boss Hua! I'm the boss of Ruyixuan. ”
