"Whatever." For Shen Lin, being hit has almost become a habit, and he indifferently followed Yao Bindi's instructions to continue to click, swipe, enter, confirm, enter, and confirm......

Due to the unfamiliarity of the page and the unfamiliar language of the page, when doing these places, Shen Lin only stared at the area indicated by Yao Bin, and did not look at other places at all, nor was he interested in looking at them, he operated step by step carelessly, all the way to the step of finally entering the payment SMS verification code.

The mobile phone rang, Shen Lin took out his mobile phone and saw a text message that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The familiar thing lies in its format: "You are shopping on the xx platform, your verification code is xx, please do not share your verification code with anyone......"

The unfamiliar place lies in its amount: "The amount of this consumption is 7,720,000 yuan, this consumption is exceeded, please bring your valid documents to the counter of XX Bank within seven working days." ”

Dresden, Germany.

Local time, 5:03 p.m.

With 17 minutes to go, Ebel had arrived at the Eagle Hotel early.

There are two benefits to doing so.

First, it avoids the annoying nagging of his wife.

Second, clean the piano, adjust the scale, and develop a feel, so that guests can have a better dining experience at the beginning of the main meal.

At this point, it's clear that Ebel is the pianist at the Eagle Restaurant.

This is a job with a weekly salary of 1,200 euros, and in the economic downturn of 2019, Ebel is fortunate enough to be able to get such an income, and similarly, in the economic downturn of 2019, to be able to offer such a salary, the Eagle Hotel is obviously a high-end restaurant.

However, it is also the fault of the economic downturn, and both the Eagle Hotel and Ebel have been in some trouble lately.

The problem with the Eagle Hotel is that the economic situation is declining, and in the first two years, only low-income earners have become more concerned about supermarket discounts, but in recent months, even high-income earners have begun to cut back on spending, and "the business status of the Eagle Hotel is not immune to a certain extent".

- These are the exact words of the owner of the Eagle Hotel, everyone knows that in this world, when a boss starts to say that his industry has been "affected to a certain extent", in fact, the industry is already in danger and has reached the point of dying.

And so Ebel's trouble came.

The way the owner of the Eagle Hotel is dying is no different from other dying restaurateurs, and the first step is to revitalize the capital and reduce the number of people.

So, the Seiko piano in the center of the restaurant, worth 1.3 million euros, and Ebel, who earns 1,200 euros a week, stepped into the countdown clock of staying at the Eagle Hotel at the same time.

For the piano, the owner of the restaurant commissioned the piano shop to put this expensive piece of art on the second-hand market.

In the case of Ebel, thanks to the gentleman's monthly hinted union dues, the boss did not dare to go too far, and he promised full compensation and agreed to allow Ebel to continue to work at the hotel while the piano was unsold, receiving 120% of the previous salary.

That doesn't make Ebel happy.

First, the imminent state of unemployment makes Ebel's wife, who seems to be unable to see her husband who is only 31 years old by nature, or the lady who does not seem to see any man to live comfortably, further increases the nagging, complaining, and chattering part of life.

Second, this location in the middle of the Eagle Hotel, a high-profile location, Ebel was reluctant to give up to a beautiful violinist, or even a crappy stripper.

Thirdly, and most importantly, Ebel was reluctant to accept the most expensive, beautiful, and glamorous piano he had access to at his present location.

It's a pity that, like the vast majority of people in this world, Ebel is unable to decide neither his own fate nor the disposition of other people's assets.

So Ebel had to come to the dining room half an hour early in vain, wipe the piano in vain, play in vain, and prolong the intimate time with it in vain.

Today, even this futility is deprived.

Today, at 5:03 local time, seventeen minutes earlier, Ebel arrived at the Eagle Hotel.

Pushing open the revolving door, Ebel walked straight to the middle of the restaurant, and when he got there, he had just picked up the special wiping cloth, and before he could put it on his baby, Ebel saw a figure he least liked to see from the top of the spiral staircase a dozen paces away.

That's Bauer, the manager of the Eagle Hotel.

Truth be told, Ball isn't usually too annoying.

He is not a too strict restaurant manager, when the Eagle Hotel is booming, Bauer can always skillfully arrange shifts, so that everyone can get a fair tip, when the Eagle Hotel is dismal, Bauer has been trying to negotiate with the boss, so that everyone can try to keep their jobs.

But since two months ago, Ebel has not liked to see Bauer at this time.

"Ebel," Bauer beckoned from the spiral staircase, "Please come up for a moment." ”

"Okay." Ebel put down the soft cloth and walked heavily to the escalator.

The manager brought Ebel into the office.

"Sit down, Ebel," the manager gestured to Ebel to the chair across from him, and sat down at the back of his desk, "Good news." ”

"Good news?" Ebel wondered.

"Someone's got a crush on your baby." The manager replied.

"You call this good news?" Ebel grimaced.

That's why Ebel didn't like to see Bauer. Every time Ball shows up when he just walks in the door, it means that the piano downstairs has once again welcomed a potential buyer.

It was probably because of the pressure to realize the assets that was too great, and Bauer actually smiled and nodded.

"When will you come to check it out?" Ebel asked.

Unlike new products that leave the factory or resell them at a low price, pianos with an original price of up to 1.3 million euros enter the second-hand market, and of course they inevitably have to be inspected and bargained.

The piano of the Eagle Hotel has been commissioned for more than two months, and Ebel has already greeted or perfunctory several groups of interested customers.

This time it's different.

"I didn't look at it." Bauer said.

"What does that mean?"

"Meaning, there is no need to inspect it," the smile on Bauer's face deepened, "The other party has already decided to buy." ”

"That'...... What is the meaning? Ebel's tone was a little distorted.

"The other party has directly paid a deposit of 100,000 euros." Bauer replied.

"990,000 euros for the piano, 100,000 euros for the deposit, don't you need to inspect it?" It took half a minute for Ebel to determine from Bauer's exact expression that such a miracle had happened.

"Well," Ebel sighed lonely, "when should I come to collect my compensation check?" ”

"Hey, that's the second piece of good news," the smile on Ball's face grew, "You don't need to be separated from your baby." ”
