Chapter 31: Hope
(xxxi)
However, when Ye Wenyu sat down to eat in a remote corner of the cafeteria, she was still uncontrollably depressed in front of a pitiful dish, and all kinds of things about her past life were coming to her like a tide.
When was the third time she met Lin Tingfeng?
It was at this time in this life, more than a month after the start of school, she was busy with all kinds of part-time jobs to make money, Lin Tingfeng was very strange, appeared in her university on the first day of school, and then paid her college tuition for four years, when she asked him what conditions he had, he said that there were no conditions, when she insisted on asking him, he left, and when he left, he said that he wanted to think about it, and then contact her after thinking about it.
For the rest of the time, she had been waiting for the conditions he had come up with, but day after day, more than a month passed, and he never contacted her again, as if a drop of water had disappeared into the sea, like a speck of dust had disappeared into the air, like a piece of sand falling into the desert, and could no longer be found.
Ye Wenyu was only eighteen years old at the time, and since Lin Tingfeng paid for her four years of college tuition and left, she has been secretly looking forward to seeing him again.
Gradually, Lin Tingfeng became a big hero who rescued her from her suffering life in her mind, but not to mention that he was so good-looking, like a towering tree, sheltering her from wind and rain, but he no longer appeared and did not contact her.
Doubts are like spring grass, popping up from the bottom of her heart.
She naturally knew that if she wanted to find Lin Tingfeng, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky, but if Lin Tingfeng wanted to find her, it was very easy, so easy that she only needed a phone call.
But he seems to have disappeared, he has never looked for her again, and he seems to have forgotten to pay her college tuition, Ye Wenyu has a big question mark in his heart in the hope that has been disappointed again and again, so, what happened? Was he too busy to contact her? Or did he really not think of any conditions, so he didn't come to her? Or maybe he has forgotten to pay her college tuition, after all, for a tyrant like him, the tuition fee of less than 100,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket, so he forgot, or rather, what happened to him? Got sick, or did you have an accident?!
When she thought of the last possibility, Ye Wenyu's heart was shocked, and she said, "There is a god three feet above her head", she secretly prayed that the god who protected her could also help her protect Lin Tingfeng, after all, he paid her tuition for four years, and he was her great benefactor.
In addition, although Lin Tingfeng paid for her four years of college tuition, he did not pay for her living expenses, that is to say, she paid more than 1,000 yuan a month for room and board, transportation, telephone bills, etc., all of which she needed to earn by herself, besides, even if the hardship fee was a small amount, she could not take other people's money for nothing, so although Lin Tingfeng did not appear now, the money owed to him must be repaid, and the interest must be added to pay him back, so Ye Wenyu is working hard.
She took two tutors, and after the military training, she had more spare time, so she used her evening time to work as a waitress in a hotel, to deliver takeaways, to work as an employee in a flower shop, to distribute flyers on the street, etc., in short, to make money in every possible way.
The life of going to school during the day, working at night and on weekends is very hard, every night, she is very tired and returns to the dormitory, her legs seem to be filled with lead, and the bones are so tired that they seem to fall apart, and at the same time, she has to be subjected to the strange eyes of her roommates, and the suspicious interrogation of the dormitory aunt, but she has no other choice but to persevere, at that time, she still only eats one dish a meal, in short, in the face of the cruel reality like a sharp knife, her life has become six words "save flowers." , desperately earn! β
At school, because of her peculiar solitude, she was ridiculed by her classmates, and in society, because she was full of thoughts about how to make more money, she was bullied by many people.
In the hard work of one day at a time, she persevered, because she had no other choice than working to earn money to continue her studies, she had no home, no relatives, and everything could only rely on herself.
This day is a weekend, the hotel where she is a waiter is going to hold the thirtieth anniversary celebration of a certain group, there is a temporary lack of etiquette lady, Ye Wenyu was originally just a waiter in the restaurant of this five-star hotel, when the hotel manager was in a dilemma, he saw Ye Wenyu, who was tall and good-looking, and he had an idea, waved her hand and called her over, Ye Wenyu thought that she was not doing a good job, and the manager wanted to fire her, a heart was very worried, and she walked to the manager with a pale face.
Unexpectedly, the manager said to her: "There is a hostess in the hotel who is sick and can't come, tonight there is a group's thirtieth anniversary celebration held in our hotel, please be a hostess lady, five hundred yuan a night, do you want to do it?" β
You must know that Ye Wenyu only earns 800 a month as a tutor, and now, a great opportunity has come to her, and she actually has 500 yuan a night, she nodded again and again, and she can't wait for this kind of good thing waiting for her every night.
The hotel manager was also very happy, beckoned to the staff in charge of the training of the hostess, and said to her: "You teach her, it will be fine." β
The staff nodded and told Ye Wenyu that when the hostess is to be upright, show eight teeth when smiling, be familiar with the map of the hotel, and wait until the guests come in and can't find a seat to sit in.
In short, it's easy, 500 yuan is in hand.
Ye Wenyu listened attentively and remembered it carefully, after a short period of training, she put on a blue and white porcelain cheongsam on a white background and joined Miss Manners's team, because of her beauty, she became the most eye-catching star among Miss Manners.
After a busy night, when her cheeks were sour with a smile, the work was finally over, the manager gave her five hundred yuan, she thanked the manager, picked up her clothes, and prepared to go to the changing room to change her clothes and go back to school, after all, it was too late, and if the dormitory was closed, she couldn't go back, the iron fence of the girls' dormitory was three meters high, and she had to climb over the wall, which was too difficult for her.
At this time, the manager who had walked out with a smile turned around and rushed in, waved his hand at a few hostesses who were about to change clothes, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up, go drink with the guests!" β
The other hostesses seemed to know what was going on, turned around and walked outside.
Ye Wenyu was still holding her clothes, standing still and not moving, she didn't drink, she had never drunk, in addition, she was just a lady of etiquette, not an escort, drinking is a very dangerous thing for women!
Seeing Ye Wenyu motionless, the manager was even more anxious, this is the most beautiful girl in Miss Manners, if she doesn't go, the bigwigs who are entertaining guests in the hotel today will definitely have opinions about their hotel, and the business of the hotel will be greatly affected in the future! Therefore, the manager walked up to Ye Wenyu in three steps and two steps, and said to her, "Hurry up." β
Ye Wenyu said in a snort: "Manager, you didn't say that you were going to drink with the guests before, and the celebration has ended, I am a student, and I am going back to school." β
The manager made a blank face and said solemnly: "Didn't I say it?" I thought you understood! After the celebration, there must be a banquet, without you as a companion, what is the strength of a group of big men to drink! "It's a matter of course, as if it's normal to be forced to drink.
Ye Wenyu was stunned for a while before saying: "But I really don't know how to drink, my skin will be allergic and rash when I drink." β
The manager had a frost on his face, and said to her a little angrily: "Ye Meinu, let me tell you, this is your job, if you think I lied to you, you can go and inquire, which lady of etiquette refused to accompany the guests to dinner, you disappointed me, if you don't go, then, today's five hundred yuan can't be given to you, you give it back to me!" β
What the? After a hard day, you have to get 500 yuan back?
Ye Wenyu froze there.
The manager continued to grit his teeth and said: "If you don't go now, do you know how much loss it has brought to our hotel, the group that holds the celebration will think that we are not dedicated!" When eating, there is not even a person to accompany the wine, I see that you have no sense of responsibility, and you must not be concerned about being a waiter in a restaurant, if you don't go today, then, you will not use the work of the hotel tomorrow! β
Ye Wenyu's eyes widened in shock, what, even the job of a waiter had to be lost?
The manager secretly glanced at her, and under coercion, he continued to lure: "In this way, if you are willing to go, I will give you another three hundred hardship fees in a while." The manager took out three pieces of Grandpa Mao and slapped them on Ye Wenyu's hand, Ye Wenyu looked down at the money in his hand, five hundred plus three hundred, a total of eight hundred.
Next month's meal money has been settled!
The manager saw that she was moved, and smiled again and said: "Ye Meinu, don't worry, just drink a little, you won't drink, you don't drink well, people will definitely not embarrass you when they see that you are beautiful, at the wine table, drink or not, you make your own decisions, but whether you go or not, you must be in charge of me!" β
Ye Wenyu was still too young and naΓ―ve, and finally compromised, she accepted the eight hundred yuan, straightened the cheongsam she had originally intended to replace, and walked towards the restaurant, followed by the hotel manager with satisfaction.
