Jiang Zhilian saw Lin Xiaolu's aggrieved look, and felt that she was cute and funny, so she couldn't help but can't help it, and chuckled softly.

"You're still laughing? Picking up fun, huh? Lin Xiaolu pursed her mouth and wanted to cry.

"No, I just think you're unlucky." Jiang Zhilian took two steps forward and lowered her voice: "I want to ask you something, are you free?" ”

"I still have something to do......" Lin Xiaolu brushed his hair, "If you're not in a hurry, wait for me here for a while!" I'm not sure how long it will take, though. ”

Jiang Zhilian looked in the direction of the front desk, "Haven't you already changed shifts?" I see there's someone at the front desk! ”

"Well, it stands to reason that I should get off work. But I haven't solved the problem left over from last night! If I just leave, not only will my colleagues have opinions, but the manager will have to scold me again. Lin Xiaolu lowered his eyes as he spoke, paused, and muttered in a low voice, "If it weren't for my brother's schooling, I wouldn't have worked here a long time ago." ”

Jiang Zhilian gently put her hand on Lin Xiaolu's slender shoulder, "I'll accompany you to find the new guest." ”

Lin Xiaolu took Jiang Zhilian upstairs, "Do you want to help me persuade him?" In fact, as long as he doesn't make any movement after nine o'clock in the evening and before eight o'clock in the morning. The requirements are not very much either......"

Jiang Zhilian smacked her tongue, "You can say this kind of unreasonable request?!" ”

Lin Xiaolu paused and looked at Jiang Zhilian in a daze.

Jiang Zhilian flattened her mouth and looked at the sky, "Anyway, I can't speak." ”

"Then why are you going up with me?" Lin Xiaolu showed a disappointed expression.

I thought there was a helper, but it turned out that she was thinking too much.

Jiang Zhilian continued to walk upstairs, her steps were brisk, and her tone was clear, "I just want to see what this new neighbor of the Mu family looks like, if it fits, I plan to make friends with him." ”

"......" Lin Xiaolu climbed the stairs silently, as if the soles of his feet were filled with lead, and the whole person was drowsy and couldn't lift his energy.

Since the family surnamed Mu moved into the hotel, her life has become more and more difficult.

The manager had a reason to scold her, and when no one was around, he intensified his actions against her.

Lin Xiaolu has often had the idea of quitting recently, but every time he thinks of making money to support his family, he immediately dispells this idea.

That's it, insist on persevering, stay up one day at a time, Lin Xiaolu encouraged himself like this.

Sometimes self-deception is also a way to survive.

Lin Xiaolu: "Sister ......"

Jiang Zhilian didn't stop at her feet, she didn't react at all that this "sister" was calling her.

"Hey!" Lin Xiaolu ran two steps quickly to follow, and patted Jiang Zhilian's arm, "Why are you walking so fast?" ”

"Huh? Did you call me? Jiang Zhilian suddenly said, "You called me sister just now?" ”

Lin Xiaolu was speechless, "Otherwise...... There's no one else on this staircase! ”

"No one has ever called me that before, so it's a little unaccustomed to sounding." Jiang Zhilian leaned on the handrail of the stairs and smiled: "You still call me Lianwa!" ”

"You wait for me for a while, I'll go to the bathroom." Lin Xiaolu said and walked briskly towards the end of the corridor.

Jiang Zhilian waited for a while, feeling a little hot, so she planned to go to the bathroom to cool her face.

As soon as she walked in, she smelled a strong smell of smoke.

Hotel rooms are equipped with toilets, so there are generally few people in the public restrooms on each floor.

Jiang Zhilian saw that the doors of several cubicles were ajar, only the one near the window was hidden.

"Sister Fawn?" She called tentatively.

Two seconds later, the hidden door was pushed open.

Jiang Zhilian saw Lin Xiaolu standing in a smoky cubicle, thin and thin, holding a cigarette butt that was about to burn out between his fingertips.

The blazing sun shone on the rising white mist, and the fine dust was also illuminated nowhere to hide......

Jiang Zhilian didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, just waited quietly for the smoke to clear.

Lin Xiaolu threw the cigarette butt into the toilet, turned around and walked out.

She pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was fine, and took Jiang Zhilian's arm, "Let's go!" ”

Jiang Zhilian smelled the faint smell of tobacco, and pretended to joke lightly: "It turns out that you are still a little smoker!" ”

"You must keep it a secret for me!" Lin Xiaolu tilted his head to look at Jiang Zhilian, "My dad sells tobacco, and my toys when I was a child were big tobacco leaves, so I think this taste is very kind." ”

Jiang Zhilian: "You smoked your father's own cigarette just now?" ”

"No, I did it myself." Lin Xiaolu paused, "My dad has been dead for several years. ”

"......" Jiang Zhilian swallowed comforting words and said as calmly as possible; If you don't want to work in a hotel, it's not bad to go out and sell cigarettes by yourself! ”

Lin Xiaolu snorted and laughed, "You're really joking, who buys this kind of cigarette?!" She sighed softly, and added:

"My mom and my brother are pointing to my salary at the hotel! Otherwise, all three of us will have to drink the northwest wind. ”

Jiang Zhilian didn't say anything, she only felt a burst of sourness in her heart.

It's not easy to be a woman.

In this patriarchal society, women are harassed, bullied, restrained, controlled, and imposed with all kinds of nonsensical demands.

Even smoking, you can't do what you want, you can only hide, and you're afraid of being known.

As if what a shady thing it was.

Not only do men think that women who smoke are not serious, but even women think that women who smoke are bitches.

Men smoke all over the street, no one cares, no one cares.

Is it okay for a woman?

Do women dare?

Do you smoke one to try?

In the blink of an eye, the stars will drown you!

Jiang Zhilian followed Lin Xiaolu to the door of the suite with a not-so-beautiful mood.

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

"Mr. Cui, I'm the receptionist at the front desk." Lin Xiaolu's voice was soft, and the moment his fingers landed on the door panel, he regained his professional respectful attitude, and his face showed a standard smile with eight teeth.

Footsteps could be heard inside the house.

"Why are you here again, is the family next to you living a relative of the emperor? Why are there so many rules! Do you want me to send them two eunuchs and slaves to serve? ”

Jiang Zhilian: "......"

This voice is very familiar!

When I looked up, I was not an old acquaintance.

Seeing the person at the door, Cui Nian was suddenly stunned, and forgot to put his hand down on the doorknob for a long time.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Zhilian spread her hands, "I didn't expect it to be so coincidental." ”

"Ahem......" Cui Nian cleared his throat, looked at Lin Xiaolu, and asked concisely, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Xiaolu: "That's right, Mr. Cui, the ...... next door"

Jiang Zhilian interrupted: "Sister Xiaolu, he is my godson. I'll help you solve this matter, so you can get off work with peace of mind! ”

"......" Lin Xiaolu suspected that he had misheard, "godson? Mr. Cui looks like he's older than you......"

Could it be that Mr. Cui's father has a special relationship with this sister?

Lin Xiaolu's brain was wide open, but he felt that it didn't seem to be the case.

"......" Cui Nian looked at Jiang Zhilian with a puzzled expression, and said with a lip shape: "When will I become your godson?" ”

Jiang Zhilian laughed, "This relationship is complicated, and it's a long story." ”

Lin Xiaolu glanced at Cui Nian, and saw that he didn't refute the statement of "godson", so he nodded suspiciously, "Oh, then I'll get off work first." ”

Before leaving, she said to Jiang Zhilian: "Go back and explain it to me!" ”

"No problem!" Jiang Zhilian waved her hand, "Hurry up and go home to rest, it's too hard to stay up late!" ”

After Lin Xiaolu left, Cui Nian walked out of the room and closed the door with his backhand, "Let's go to the tearoom downstairs to talk!" ”

Jiang Zhilian was puzzled, "Isn't this a suite?" Say it directly in the living room? ”

"A single man's room, you can enter it as soon as you say it? Why is the skin so thick! Cui Nian said and went downstairs directly.

When Jiang Zhilian turned around, she heard a noise in the room, as if something had fallen to the ground.

When she arrived in the hall, Jiang Zhilian bumped Cui Nian's arm, "Jinwu Zangjiao?" ”

Cui Nian rolled his eyes, "What are you hiding?" I'm here to get down to business. ”

"Oh...... Is it to do business with women? Jiang Zhilian deliberately teased him.

Cui Nian glanced at her suspiciously, "I said, why are you so gossipy!" ”

"Isn't it human nature to gossip?" Jiang Zhilian put away the joking expression and said seriously: "I'm not interested in your private affairs, you just need to honestly don't make trouble, manage the branch of the leather shoe factory, and let me have an explanation from your father." Also, you're nice to girls. It doesn't matter if you will get married in the future, even if it's just for fun, don't hurt the hearts of other girls too much. ”

Cui Nian: "I know, I don't need you to remind me. ”

Jiang Zhilian: "It's good to know!" ”
