Chapter Twenty-Three: Snacks

The new box opened by the stepmother is a small family of four people, with family audio, micro rear projection and warm color decoration. The set of four dried fruits, four candied fruits, and four bottles of beer, at the insistence of the stepmother, the beer was replaced with red rose semi-sweet wine.

I silently calculated, although I didn't receive a separate tip today, I am afraid that the share of the box brought to me by Liu Peipei is more than five or six hundred. I was both excited and uneasy for a moment. I still don't want to let people spend so much money, I feel a bit like a member of a pyramid/marketing organization, who first pits his close friends.

Generally, the guests of the standard family box do not need the service of the princess, and the group that opens this kind of box is not the family but the small couple or lover, which is a bit of a pimping suspicion.

There were only two of us left in the box, Liu Peipei sat on the sofa with her head down and wringed her fingers intently, I turned on the stereo and projection equipment, and turned my head to look at her, "What song do you want to sing?" ”

Liu Peipei looked a little flustered, and she didn't have the domineering attitude she had in front of her stepmother just now, "I don't... No. ”

I'm dumb, I can't sing, didn't I open this box for nothing, there is money to burn? We really don't understand the life of the rich.

She added, "You... You sing, I listen. ”

I told her, "I can't sing, so let's have a drink and talk." ”

She nodded, staring at me with big eyes, and I sat down across from her, uncorked the bottle, and poured her half a glass, "You like to drink?" ”

Liu Peipei held the wine glass in her small hand and gently sipped the bright red wine, "But... Can turn white. ”

She said that the whitening should be the face, I forgot who said that people who drink alcohol with a white face hurt their liver and are prone to alcohol poisoning. I was a little worried about this little girl, and I took her wrist and said, "You drink less, it's not good for your health." ”

She blinked, tilted her little head to look at me, "No... It's okay. ”

I felt much more comfortable without anyone else present, dangling my legs to peel pistachios and put the fragrant nuts into the empty cup in front of her. After all, it costs so much more money to make the family spend, and they have to be comfortable to serve, right?

The rear projection on the wall showed Zhuang Xinyan's new song MV, and the slightly sad melody lingered in the entire small box.

Maybe I'm too simple-minded, I always feel that people who can look at me with this kind of eyes, if it's a man, they want to soak me, and if it's a woman, they like me. But no, she's still a child... Phew, I'm a kid too.

"Eat pistachios, I'll peel them for you." I laughed wryly.

Liu Peipei pinched the nuts and ate them, drooping her eyelids and not knowing what she was thinking.

I also felt that I was a little sorry for the money that people gave me if I was silent like this, so I told her jokes, but this girl's sub-zero laughter gave me a toothache. I talked for a long time, wasting a whole emoji, and she only occasionally flipped the pair of dead fish eyes that were not shocked.

I'm mad at me!

I simply puffed out my cheeks and stuffed dates into my mouth, no longer bothering my lips and tongue. Liu Peipei fell into the sofa sluggishly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and I realized that this girl was sleepy because of drinking.

Thinking about it, it's almost eleven o'clock now, and if I hadn't had to go to work, I wouldn't have been able to stand the fog of sleeping.

I said, "If you're sleepy, just sleep for a while, your mother will be in the box until twelve o'clock, and I'll call you when the time comes." ”

Liu Peipei leaned over, curled up on the sofa, and I pulled the pillow under her head. The air conditioner in the box was a little cold, and a layer of fine small bumps rose on her snow-white arms, and I broke the fan blades to let the cool air blow upwards.

"You say... I.. We are friends... Friend. ”

The cowardly and weak voice stunned me, and when I turned around, Liu Peipei stared at me with big eyes and without blinking.

I pursed my lips and smiled, "If you are me, then I am." ”

"Hmm." Liu Peipei exhaled softly, in a tone like a kitten's whisper, "Don't... Cannot... Can you hug me? ”

Her face was a little pale, her small mouth was slightly hooked, and her big eyes were staring at me without waves.

I shuddered, clenched my little fists, smiled and walked up to her, crouched down, and gently hugged her. The little girl stretched out her arms and put her arms around my shoulders, and rubbed her little face on my chest. The thin body shook gently in my arms, and I let go of her.

"Aren't you sleepy? Go to sleep when you're sleepy, and I'll wake you up when the time comes. I pulled the sideburns around her ear, just like I had combed my sister's hair last night. I remember when I was sick and had a fever when I was a child, my sister hugged me and comforted me like this.

My heart throbbed inexplicably, as gently and gently as I landed on the snowflakes on the maple leaves.

She nodded, closed her eyes, and said no more, and soon a thin snoring sounded in the box.

I turned up the volume of the stereo to the lowest, took off my shoes, huddled on the couch with my knees hugged, and tilted my head to enjoy the music video without sound.

I'm just so lazy leaning on the back of the sofa and thinking nonsense, I don't want to sleep or do my homework, my sister, my father, Lin Miaowu, physics teacher... One by one, they flashed through my mind.

At twelve o'clock, I woke up Liu Peipei on time, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, and her expression slowly changed from the initial doubt to normal and blank.

I said, "It's twelve o'clock, and we should go to your mother's house." ”

She said "um" and followed me leisurely, the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law of 402 had already walked halfway, and the stepmother was pulling the two young women to chat. When Liu Peipei pushed open the door of the box, she didn't stop talking, and her eyebrows danced to describe, "... The two brothers are a pair of perverts, the brothers are not married in their thirties, and they say that they are waiting for a woman. The woman is still his college classmate, and after graduation, he went to a school in Qingdao to be a teacher, and in the past 12 years, he has changed two husbands, and today he sent an invitation to attend the third wedding..."

Then she saw Liu Peipei with a cold expression, and hurriedly stood up, hooked her rosy lips, and smiled coquettishly with charming fox eyes, "Girl, are you having fun with your friends?" Yo, it's twelve o'clock, let's check out and go home and sleep. ”

The two young women looked unsatisfied, and one of them said "oops" twice and asked, "Fourth sister, did he promise to go?" ”

The stepmother glared at her, rubbed Liu Peipei's little head lovingly, and said with a smile: "I guess I will go, didn't I go the first two times." ”

The young woman's eyes lit up, "It's rare to see such an infatuated man." ”

The stepmother pulled the awkward Liu Peipei out, and smiled smartly, "Okay, okay, you see that my daughters are sleepy, so I won't talk to you anymore." You're not going home, aren't you? Don't be a spring heart, plan to go out and be picked up as a corpse. ”

She turned to me again, "Thank you, Xiao Jiu, my Pei Pei is introverted and doesn't like to communicate with people, so you should take care of it more." I told you at the bar, the princesses of 402 and 417 are in your name, so you should be tipped twice, don't forget when you get the money. ”

I didn't even know what to say to thank her, and I regretted that I didn't have the habit of buying lottery tickets on my first day at work.

I led them to check out and sign the bill, and the long list of amounts made me a little dizzy. Even today, with this wave of guests, I have made a lot of money. My stepmother took out a hundred-dollar bill from her purse and stuffed it into me, saying, "Please take care of my Pepe for one night, this is what you deserve." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Yes, we're friends." ”

The stepmother smiled and said, "Take it, Auntie used to be a princess, and she knows your market better, so it's not easy to make some money." ”

I feel a little weird about calling a young woman who is not a few years older than me and a charming vixen aunt. The stepmother turned out to be a senior, so it's no wonder that she knows all these things about the princess.

When I cleaned up the box, I couldn't close my legs together. The dried fruits and candied fruits in Liu Peipei's box and I basically didn't move much, and there were more than half bottles of red wine worth 608, and there were a lot of leftovers in my stepmother's house. I asked Kiki, and she said that if she was her guest, she could secretly leave some of their leftover food, which was a tacit thing in the whole of Jinyan. It's like working in a restaurant, there's no kitchen where you don't steal anything.

It's a pity that I didn't have a bag for these things, so I could only pick out some shelled dried fruits and put them in my pocket, and the rest were all handed over to the waiter in the back with all the distress. As for what they do with this stuff, I don't know.

I planned to store most of the bottles of wine at the bar in the name of Liu Peipei, but unfortunately the young lady at the bar didn't accept it, because the stepmother was not a member of Jinyan. If this wine is thrown away or handed over to the waiter, I am reluctant, and if I stay, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep. I knew it and reminded Liu Peipei to take it away, this rich second generation is really a loser.

Then I met Scarlet in the corridor, and as soon as I saw her short burgundy hair and small body of 1.4 meters, I subconsciously wanted to hide.

"Come back!" She stopped me coldly, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

I said, "My guests have leftover wine." ”

She copied it and threw it into the trash can next to the bathroom outside, and the corners of my distressed eyes twitched.

She put her eyes on my pocket again, hugged her small breasts, and looked disgusted, "Throw everything in your pocket!" How unproductive are you, picking up leftovers from other people's food, don't you have no self-esteem? Tell me what you want to eat, I can't afford to give it to you! ”

My face was hot, my sister had never reprimanded me so harshly, I felt my liver tremble, and my eyes were a little itchy.

This little guy is so deceitful! She grabbed my skirt, put her little hand in her pocket, and scooped it up for me, throwing it all in the trash. I was as ashamed of myself as a thief, and I longed to find a crack in the ground to get into. If it weren't for the fact that she was the boss and I still had to make money, I would have quit her a long time ago!

Baohong patted the husk dregs on her little hand, and snorted coldly: "I don't care if others take me, but you can't!" Follow me! ”

She grabbed me by the arm and dragged me down the elevator aisle.

I was full of grievances and had nowhere to vent, so I shook her off and bared my teeth and shouted, "What are you doing?" I don't want the rest of the guest in the future, do you still want to lynch me! I'm telling you, it's against the law! ”

Baohong grinned, pointed to my nose and said, "You still haven't figured out the situation, you're seventeen years old, can you have some interest?" As the boss, I say a word to you, what do you pout? I'm going to say it more seriously, are you still crying to me! ”

I was stunned, the tone was somewhat familiar. Baohong took my arm into the elevator, and said to the waiter beauty in the elevator with a black face, "Stop on the second floor!" ”

The second floor is the executive floor, which is not open to guests, and Carmine pulled me into her office, opened the drawer and hugged a large pile of snacks out, "If you like to eat, give it to you." Come to me to pick it up when you're done, and don't eat the leftovers of those guests in the future! Who do you dare to eat what is left, do you know if those people are sick? ”

I want to say that Liu Peipei has never touched those dried fruit candied fruits, and I poured the wine, so there can't be any problems, but looking at Baohong's very iron-clad appearance, I didn't dare to say it.

I was curious, "Why are you so nice to me?" I'm just your employee, don't say I'm your long-lost half-brother! ”

Scarlet smiled at the corners of her mouth, "Really, do you want to get a DNA test?" ”

I hurriedly said, "No need! I have received your wishes, I plan to tell my sister about my work in Jinyan at dawn, if she does not agree to me coming, I will not come, maybe we will not meet in the future. ”

Scarlet's face changed, and she pointed to the mountain-like snacks on the table and said, "If you want to go, take these snacks with you, it's a gift from me." ”

I said, "Thank you." ”

She added, "There won't be any guests now, you go to the rest area and sleep for a while, and wait for the end of work." ”

Somehow, a little frustrated, Carmine found a paper bag for clothes, stuffed all the snacks into it, and let me hold it.

It was only when I got out of Scarlet's office that I realized that the tone of her speech today revealed an inexplicable aura everywhere.
