Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~ At almost nine o'clock in the morning, Ruan Yiyong was woken up by a phone ringing, and it was his brother Ruan Yiqiang's senior assistant Gu Fangling calling. (After talking on the phone, Ruan Yiyong remembered that his brother was going to Shanghai to prepare for the construction of the Oriental Pearl Hotel recently, and he happened to have nothing to do, so he handed over the "heaven and earth" to him to manage for a while.) Although brothels were legal in the Chinese Empire, after years of development and keeping pace with the times, they generally existed in the form of hotels.

At about ten o'clock, Ruan Yiyong went downstairs to the gate of "Heaven and Earth". In the open space outside the door, Gu Fangling was wearing a black suit, standing with his hands behind his back, and loudly admonished the two hundred or so security personnel in black suits in front of him, explaining the day's work. The security guards straightened their chests and stomachs, holding black electric batons in their hands, and looked at Gu Fangling stupidly.

Gu Fangling is about 1.8 meters tall, looks to be in her thirties, has very white skin, wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looks very capable. Ruan Yiyong walked over, Gu Fangling almost bent his waist to ninety degrees, and handed over his business card with both hands: "Second son, it's better to see than to hear, I heard the big boss, that is, your brother, say that you have stayed at West Point Military Academy, and your skills are very good, and I will send you in the future." ”

Gu Fangling's person is a big man, with a northeast accent, and his voice is a bit of a "sissy". The two were very close, Ruan Yiyong smelled the strong smell of perfume on his body, he was not used to it, out of politeness, he still took the business card, glanced at it with his spare eyes, and said with a smile: "Gu Fangling? It's like a girl's name. ”

"You really have the eye, you can see it at a glance. I have three older sisters at home. The fortune teller said that I had to be named a girl to support me, but no, my parents gave me such a name. Gu Fangling raised her orchid finger as she spoke. Ruan Yiyong's goosebumps were about to rise, he didn't know what he was going to do, his brother Ruan Yiqiang said that Gu Fangling would arrange everything.

Ruan Yiyong was a little absent-minded, as if he hadn't woken up, and asked, "What am I going to do today?" ”

Gu Fangling said: "The second son will talk to the security personnel of our hotel first. ”

Ruan Yiyong shook his head and said, "Forget it." You just look at the management of the people in the hotel. It's okay, don't bother me. ”

Gu Fangling was a little embarrassed and said. "There are generally very few guests in the hotel in the morning, and the general ladies and waiters usually come to work after noon, or not. I'll take you around the hotel first to familiarize yourself with the environment of the 'heaven and earth'. ”

"Okay." Nguyen Ngai Dung said.

Ruan Yiyong and Gu Fangling took a turn around the hotel, which is a well-known "heaven and earth" club in the capital, with a total of 18 floors. Fifteen floors upstairs. The third basement floor provides one-stop service for eating, drinking and playing. The first floor is the reception hall, and each floor of the "heaven and earth" will be guided by a special welcome lady, and there is a Western-style café behind the first floor, and there is a small garden outside for guests to relax. On the second floor is a private room and a buffet Chinese restaurant, with a buffet of 100 yuan per person, and the dishes are all high-paid chefs, and they are not allowed to bring their own drinks. A thousand yuan of white wine and red wine can only be regarded as low-grade here, and there are many landscape paintings of celebrities hanging on the walls. Calligraphy works. On the third floor, there is a western restaurant, and foreign food and red wine are all imported originally.

To the fourth floor is the business room, Gu Fangling and Ruan Yiyong introduced: "The fourth to tenth floors are open to the public, the eleventh to thirteenth floors are the presidential suite, the decoration is more luxurious, generally not open to the public, for the inconvenient to show up guests, will be from the back door elevator directly here, the hall elevator does not stop on these three floors." ”

The invention of the elevator has been around for some time. In December 1889, the American Otis Elevator Company manufactured a veritable elevator, which used a DC motor as the power to drive the rope wound on the drum through the worm gear reducer to suspend and lift the car. Since then, elevators have been widely used all over the world.

The fourteenth floor of heaven and earth is the office area of the hotel, Gu Fangling pushed open the easternmost room, and brought Ruan Yiyong in, which is about more than 20 square meters, with a bookcase in the middle, dividing the room into two, there is a group of black leather sofas outside, there is a desk and a swivel chair inside, Gu Fangling said to Ruan Yiyong: "This is your office, just arranged, relatively simple, please understand." ”

Ruan Yiyong opened the silver-gray curtains, and there was a small balcony outside, where a few pots of orchids were placed, and he nodded and said, "It's good." ”

When she went up to the fourteenth floor, Gu Fangling went down according to the elevator, Ruan Yiyong was very strange, "Don't you go to see the fifteenth floor?" ”

Gu Fangling smiled and said, "The fifteenth floor is the big boss's office, and no one is allowed to enter without permission. ”

Ruan Yiyong let out an "oh" and followed Gu Fangling back to his office.

When Gu Fangling was about to leave, she said, "By the way, there is another very important matter, your assistant will come to see you in the afternoon." ”

Nguyen Ngai Dung said, "Aren't you my assistant? What more assistant do I need? ”

Gu Fangling smiled strangely and said, "You also have a beautiful female assistant." There are some places in the hotel, such as the ladies' bathroom, the spa area, etc., which are inconvenient for men to go. ”

Then, Gu Fangling took Ruan Yiyong to the first and second floors of the basement, where there were massage rooms and sauna rooms, where young and beautiful young ladies would provide services. Each massage room has an imported double Jacuzzi whirlpool, a small sofa for two people and an adjustable massage table, and each room has a large dance floor. The third basement floor is a parking lot.

In the process of understanding the layout of the hotel, Gu Fangling chatted with Ruan Yiyong very enthusiastically, and he told Ruan Yiyong that the security personnel are not only responsible for the daily patrols in the hotel, but also all the "coming out" services of young ladies need to be protected, "The big boss hopes that you can do a good job in this regard." ”

Nguyen Ngai Dung asked, "What is the 'coming out' service?" ”

Gu Fangling was very strange and asked, "Second son, you really don't understand?" 'Coming out' is the industry term for Qinglou's special service, which means to go out of the hotel service. ”

Ruan Yiyong remembered the phone call that Blue Butterfly made before going out in the morning, nodded, and understood what Gu Fangling meant, ordinary young ladies will find someone to protect when they go out, not to mention the beauties of "heaven and earth".

Ruan Yiyong asked, "How to arrange the security of the general closet lady?" ”

Gu Fangling said. The security of the young lady in the "heaven and earth" is linked to the girl's rank and value.

"What level?" Ruan Yiyong asked puzzled.

Gu Fangling laughed and said, there is a lot of knowledge here. A girl from "heaven and earth". According to the value, that is, the money for a night, it is divided into five levels, one is the female college students, female white-collar workers, and young women who have just entered the industry, and their worth is generally about 1,000 yuan (equivalent to 10,000 yuan now), and a horse boy is generally sent to protect them. The second type is foreign girls, who are generally worth between 5,000 and 10,000. Send two ponies to protect you. The third category of famous, "heaven and earth" young ladies often participate in the Oiran draft, and their worth is basically more than 20,000 yuan after becoming famous. Generally, four horses need to be sent for protection; The fourth category is that performing arts stars are worth more than 50,000 yuan. Generally, six horses are sent to protect them.

Ruan Yiyong saw that Gu Fangling stopped talking, and asked, "What about the fifth category?" Didn't you just say that there are five levels of girls? ”

"I haven't seen the fifth category, and ordinary people can't see them, they are nicknamed 'Thirteen Hairpins'. Spring Rain, Summer Lotus, Autumn Fragrance, Winter Snow, Jade Dai, Hairpin Bao, Xiuyun, Blue and White, Jade Miao, Ziyun, Junlan, Jinfeng, Moqing. It is said that every girl is like a fairy, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and specializes in serving the high-ranking officials of the empire, and I don't know how their security is arranged. ”

After getting acquainted with the basic situation of "heaven and earth", Ruan Yiyong was a little hungry, he went to the western restaurant of the hotel to eat, and he saw so many delicacies and bread of various flavors for the first time. Cakes, cheeses. Yogurt, red bacon, sardines, every serving is full of flavor and flavor. But at the table, many guests only ate half of the food and discarded it on the table, and some only drank a full cup of yogurt.

Ruan Yiyong thought to himself, this world is really fucking unfair, there are many societies, how many children from poor families can't afford to go to school, these rich people not only change their tricks to play with all kinds of women, but also ruin heaven and waste so much food. But so what? Such a world is a peaceful and prosperous world! He took a white porcelain plate, a lot of cheese cream cake, bacon, and two yogurts, and ate it with a round stomach before walking out of the dining room and returning to the office on the fourteenth floor.

Overworked last night, Ruan Yiyong sat on the black swivel chair, a little sleepy, he put his feet on the table, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while. He had a strange dream in which he dreamed that he had returned to his childhood, with a round face and big eyes, and he walked into a courtyard house with a round well in the middle of the yard with a wooden cover covering the mouth of the well. There is an old osmanthus tree next to the well, the osmanthus blossoms are blooming, and the fragrance is fragrant. His father, Ruan Zhongshu, came over, stroked his head affectionately, and said, "Child, my father is wrong, the money and beauty you said are no different from the career and love that your brother said, isn't career just about making money?" Isn't love just beauty? The whole world is a transaction! ”

At this time, a girl with long hair knocked on the door and came in, she was wearing black-framed glasses, wearing a plain white dress, her figure was convex and concave, she was dressed as a college student, and when she saw Ruan Yiyong, her face showed sweet dimples.

"So it's you?" The girl exclaimed.

Her voice was very familiar, Ruan Yiyong looked up and was also surprised, it turned out to be a blue butterfly!

"You're my assistant? You're wearing glasses, and I almost didn't recognize you. Ruan Yiyong asked in surprise.

"Well, I told you I was a part-time college student. Brother Gu Fangling is my fellow countryman. I told him in the morning that I didn't want to come out again, and he said to help me change positions. But I didn't expect it to be your assistant. Blue Butterfly remembered the scene of turning clouds and rain with Ruan Yiyong in bed, and her face was red to the base of her neck.

"Oh." Ruan Yiyong then remembered why Gu Fangling smiled weirdly when he mentioned his beautiful female assistant, it turned out that he was a fake public and private! Nguyen Ngai Dung asked, "What is your real name?" ”

Blue Butterfly said, "Lu Xiaorou." And, actually, I didn't come to heaven and earth because I loved vanity. ”

Blue Butterfly took the initiative to talk to Ruan Yiyong about why she came to "heaven and earth" to work part-time: Blue Butterfly's father was a coal miner in the northeast, and every time he went down the mine, it was half a month. Her father, although he couldn't give her too much material, gave her all his love. Although his father is just an ordinary worker and doesn't talk much on weekdays, in Blue Butterfly's heart, his father is a big tree and a big mountain, and there is no second person who can take his place. As a child, she always rode on her father's broad shoulders, watching the sunset, visiting the park, and playing games...... Although the family is not rich, her father would rather work harder by herself, and never let her lack food and clothing. While preparing for the college entrance examination, she fell ill, and her father rushed to take care of her 24 hours a day. Although at that time, her father had been working in the coal mine for many years, and was diagnosed with silicosis, which is a common occupational chronic disease among coal miners, with frequent dry coughs, poor breathing, and death at any time in severe cases. Because he was afraid of affecting the blue butterfly college entrance examination, his father concealed his illness. After the college entrance examination, my father fell ill and was hospitalized. Blue Butterfly's father needs tens of thousands of yuan in medical expenses for treatment, her family has no rich relatives, it is unrealistic to borrow money, Blue Butterfly once secretly hid the admission notice of the University of Fine Arts, and her father resolutely let her study. Otherwise, leave the hospital immediately, that means waiting for death. So, Blue Butterfly went to college and worked part-time everywhere, but compared to the medical expenses. Bucket. Her boyfriend was her high school classmate, and the family had no money, and the other day her father had a massive lung hemorrhage and needed a large amount of money for surgery, so she came out to do it without her boyfriend.

"Huh? Do you have a boyfriend? Nguyen Ngai Dung said, a little disappointed. However, he immediately realized that he had lost his temper, Blue Butterfly was a female college student, and it was normal to have a boyfriend, and his face quickly returned to calm.

Blue Butterfly nodded and said, "That time I did it with you, it was the first time I slept with a man other than my boyfriend. ”

"Oh, is it? No wonder you and I are so realistic to do things for my brother who is sick, and I was also deceived. Blue Butterfly's words were true or false, Ruan Yiyong didn't believe Blue Butterfly's words very much, he thought to himself: "Is it true that the more beautiful the girl, the more she will deceive people?" And, with the first man other than your boyfriend, what is it? ”

Blue Butterfly was a little aggrieved, and said in a slightly sad tone: "At this time, I don't know what to say to you." In order to fight against this monster-like world, I'm about to become a monster! ”

"How can this world exist the way you think?" Ruan Yiyong said: "You don't have to say anything, go out first, I'll rest for a while, I didn't sleep well last night." Don't worry, I won't look down on you because of what happened last night. ”

"Okay, call me anytime you have anything. I'll help you sort out your files and office. Blue Butterfly lowered her head and poured him a glass of boiling water.

Ruan Yiyong closed his eyes, the expression on his face was casual, Lu Xiaorou returned to the outside compartment without saying a word, and packed up his things. (To be continued......)
