Yuan Yue Bar
The content of the contract still made Yiyu a little uneasy, and she took the contract back to review it carefully after Leah's consent.
However, I didn't see Mr. Yang this time, after all, it is impossible for such an upper-level figure to be idle enough to be in charge of such an ordinary and sparse thing.
She took the bus back to her rented house, and her original plan for dinner was to endure starvation. But at this moment, her stomach hurt a little uncomfortably, and she happened to get five hundred yuan today, and she was going to cook porridge under her consideration.
There was still a little greens in the refrigerator, so she cut some minced garlic and stir-fried the greens. Even if it wasn't a good dinner at all, it was enough to warm her stomach right now.
was putting the dish into the bowl, the mobile phone screen lit up, she picked it up and saw that it was a message from Bai Yi'an:
Part of the reason for the failure of the travel journal was that I didn't write the article, so I went to the editor-in-chief to fight for it, and now I have a subsidy of 1,000 yuan. I'm an editor and have a fixed monthly salary, but you're different, so I'll put these subsidies on your card.
Yiyu read it a few times and basically knew what he meant, this matter itself may be risky, but they didn't think about it at the beginning, they just thought about what happened after the book was written. After thinking about it, she felt that he should not be the sole responsibility, so she replied to the message.
After putting down her phone, she was about to drink porridge, but Bai Yi'an called, "Without these subsidies, what should you do with your rent?" ”
Yiyu thought of what happened to her during the day, "I'm trying to figure out a way to ...... about the rent" Her gaze fell on the contract next to her.
"Why don't you take this money first, and then pay it back to me if you have spare money in the future." Bai Yi'an said again.
"It's okay, no need......" Yiyu didn't want to owe him a favor, although she wasn't sure if she could really solve the matter in front of her.
Bai Yi'an didn't seem to know what to say, and they hurriedly said some closing words and hung up the phone.
Yiyu took a few sips of porridge and put the contract closer, she didn't understand some of the technical terms on it, but it didn't seem to be inappropriate when she looked at it slowly.
In front of her eyes, Mr. Yang's appearance at that time appeared, looking young, but his gestures were all elegant. The voice is very magnetic, but it is leisurely and unhurried. With some steadiness that didn't fit his age.
Will he be able to believe it? Yiyu asked himself in his heart. But even if she kept thinking about it, she didn't know the answer in her heart.
She put the bowl in the sink, there was still some leftover porridge in the pot, she found a bowl and scooped it in, sealed it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, and now she can save a meal.
The notification of the mobile phone was a little loud, and a text message came, making a long sound, she wiped the water on her hands, opened the mobile phone and took a look, it was a message from the bank, and it was a thousand yuan.
Unexpectedly, he still transferred all the money, she knew that if she sent him a WeChat message or called back, he might not change his mind, so she planned to go to the editorial office tomorrow to find him in person.
Incidentally...... After handing over the contract again, she saw that she had hesitated for a long time to sign at the payment office, although she didn't know if it was right or not, but ...... At least now she has nothing else to do.
After cleaning up and lying on the bed, she still couldn't sleep, tossing and turning on the bed, suddenly remembered her concealer, she didn't know how much was left, she turned on the lamp, fumbled for the small box of concealer in her bag, opened it and saw that there was not much left. How long can this last? She closed the lid.
She really points to this day, although she has no intention of dressing up and has no money to wear exquisite makeup every day like other girls. But the light blue under her eyes is to be covered, and she doesn't want others to look like a messy and pitiful woman.
When she goes out, she will apply concealer under her eyes, which is not very complete, but at least it makes her look less tired.
It's like a long-lasting mask for her. I don't want to take it off, I don't want to show it.
Time passed a little bit, and she didn't know if she was expecting the dawn or the next day never coming.
She stuffed the contract into her bag, and when she earned a little enough money, she would no longer do the job, although there was no bad work in it for the time being, but she was not good at socializing with people, and the scene of showing a false smile was often the most unbearable for her.
She walked to the building below the Faculty of Letters, but she was still a little hesitant, she didn't know what kind of choice she should make.
Walking briskly from her own memory, she didn't pay much attention to the road under her feet.
"Bang".
The bag was thrown on the ground, she also shook a few times with a little unstable center of gravity, the contents of the bag were scattered on the ground, she didn't raise her eyes, she just wanted to pick up the things quickly.
The person on the other side was knocked out without making a sound, she picked up something and groped for it, it was a pair of shoes, and a person half-crouched on the ground and watched the contract that fell out of her bag.
Who is so rude, although he was careless, if he didn't apologize to her, why rummag through other people's personal belongings.
She raised her head uncomfortably, but the "impolite" person in front of her was not someone else, but ...... White...... Yi'an ......
She was a little embarrassed, and thinking of the contents of the contract, she hurriedly reached over and snatched it back from him. But he seems to have almost finished reading it.
"Yuan Yue Bar? Have you found a new job? Bai Yi'an opened his mouth to ask her, and his tone was a little incredulous.
In his eyes, Yiyu is a cold and restrained woman, and there is no reason to go to a noisy place like a bar. Could it be that something has happened?
"I just took the contract and took a look, I came to you today to talk about the money...... she just spoke, Bai Yi'an continued: "You have signed it, wait a while...... I'm going to send a contract. ”
"The money was meant to be for the two of us, and I want to say you can get half of yourself back." Yiyu didn't want to answer his question, only talked about what he came to tell him today.
"It's not safe to work in a place like a bar. And it's okay if you take the 500 first, I'm an editor, so I have a fixed salary. ”
"Thank you, white editor, but we are only colleagues, editors and authors, and I can't turn to you for everything."
"Then I'll help you look at the contract, maybe I know more than you."
"You don't have to feel guilty, really, we didn't consider this result at the beginning, and now this may not be enough to qualify, in fact, I'm the author, it's a loss for you to be in charge, you could have had a better choice." Yiyu hopes to make his psychology clear, and no one should bear this result alone.
Bai Yi'an was silent for a while, as if she didn't know what to say, Yiyu was about to leave, and after she turned around, Bai Yi'an suddenly spoke:
"I'm starting to feel like our relationship has gotten better after this trip, but now...... It doesn't seem to get better, it's worse. Maybe I'm making you uncomfortable, but I really want to help you. ”
Really want to help you......
Yiyu was shocked, recalling what happened at the beach at that time, how could she forget? At that time, it was obviously he who saved himself. Her attitude now is like that of an alienated stranger.
But she didn't know how to answer him, because she didn't know what she really thought. Perhaps, she just wanted to escape......
She didn't dare to go to the front of him, nor did she dare to stay here any longer, her steps became hurried, as if someone was chasing after her.
She got into the bus and didn't calm down for a while. He kindly helped her read the contract, but she coldly refused him.
Unknowingly, she sat in the door of that company, she took the elevator, and Leah was talking to someone at the door. Seeing her coming, he whispered to the other party and walked towards her.
"Got it figured?" She smiled gently.
"Well, I signed it." She took the contract out of her bag and handed it over.
"The term of this contract is free, and the remuneration is generous, but I really can't think of a reason to refuse." Leah took it with her delicate hand.
"I won't be doing it for long, just trying to earn a little bit of rent. So, can you go now? ”
Start early and finish early. She didn't want to toss for too long.
"Don't worry, the bar, of course, it's only open at night. You can rest in the conference room here, and if you need to, I can tell you about your work. ”
After her explanation, Yiyu found that the life of the upper class was so exquisite, and when she thought about it, she felt that it was not as easy as it was simple.
Since it was the first day, Leah took her to the bar and handed it over to the bar's management manager to watch her do things.
But it seems that he still explained to him. For some extra things, the manager also took care of her, picked some easy jobs for her to do first, and then called her when there were suitable customers.
She cleaned the floor for a while, washed some drinking glasses, and was called over by a girl who was also talking to a waitress.
This was her first official reception, so her palms were unconsciously sweaty. The girl tells her that her name is Ji Jia and takes her to the break room to change into her work clothes.
The overalls are simple black and white skirts, which are neat and elegant to wear. But because it's too serious, she doesn't feel like a bar in a trance.
Chi Jia handed her a lipstick: "Put it on and look energetic." ”
It seemed that her spirit touched Yiyu's nerves, and she repeatedly checked in front of the mirror whether the concealer she had put on had been removed. Later, Chi Jia urged her, and she went out.
Walking into the private room, there were people of all ages, it was supposed to be a family gathering, they ordered a bottle of red wine, and all kinds of cocktails.
Chi Jia motioned for her to pour the wine, and she picked up the bottle and slowly poured it into the glass, staring at the rim of the glass, estimating the approximate height of one-third.
"This little girl, it seems that she has just been here for a short time." One of the noblewoman-like elders spoke.
"Oh, yes, she's only been here for a long time, so please bear with me." Chi Jia played a round field, "Quickly introduce yourself." ”
"My name is Yiyu, and I'm a new conversation waiter here, please bear with me!" Yiyu tried his best to squeeze a smile from the corner of his mouth, making his expression as natural as possible.
"It's nothing else, it's just that people look too bland." One of the young boys spoke suddenly.
"Let's all drink first, it's a good time, is it still the usual way to serve the food?"
"Well, it's still the same as before." An elegant young lady replied, but was stopped by the man who said that he was also "bland" just now, "No, I want her to introduce the dishes here." ”
Dishes?! This is a category that I don't understand at all.
Chi Jia kindly took the opportunity to hand her the menu, even if she didn't understand it at this time, she had to bite the bullet. But she knew that if the man wanted to make things difficult for her with his pure heart, he wouldn't give her a chance to look at the menu.
But when she saw it for the first time, she was stunned, and the first signature dish was called: Bocuse Sea King Tower with foie gras truffle sauce.
The eyes of the people around her were staring at her, and she remembered that there were descriptions of high-end ingredients in books she had read before, and she pieced together this dish from her own memory: as an appetizer, foie gras was flown in to be extremely fresh, delicate and smooth, and baked with truffles to bring out the best flavor. Pair it with red wine for an appetizer.
She went on to ramble some more nonsense, which felt more or less the same as what the book said. Looking at Chi Jia's relaxed expression next to her, she knew that what she said should be able to barely get through.
Later, I accompanied them to talk about the ordinary things outside, and they seemed to be busy with work, and their lives were exquisite, so they didn't have much contact with the fireworks outside, so they liked to listen to those ordinary things very much.
After sending them away, Chi Jia breathed a long sigh of relief, "I was scared to death at first, but fortunately, you still have to say so much, and fortunately, the guests didn't dig deeper, otherwise they would definitely not be able to pass the test." ”
"I've seen some of them before, and I'll talk a few nonsense." Yiyu also breathed a sigh of relief. The family was generous and rewarded each of them with a tip of 1,000, which was worth half a month of working in a convenience store.
Ji Jia enjoyed the feeling, and she said that since she came, she has added a lot of luxuries that she would never dare to think of.
"But it also depends on the customer, if you have a little poor service, let them have some unpleasant places, you have to pay for the wine, and the price of that bottle of wine has to be served for several more rounds to earn back."
Quick money, high requirements, high risk. It turns out that this is what a high-end bar looks like.
She's just the tip of the iceberg of quick money.
