Chapter IV
Of course, Wen Qiao came, but according to his habit, whenever possible, he would explore the surrounding environment before entering an unfamiliar place.
It's just like any other pedestrian street, lined with rows of shops, and the restaurant industry is a little more special, requiring a room for the back kitchen. The back kitchen at the bar is a little simpler, just prepare some fruit plates, snacks, snacks and so on. But this bar doesn't look like that, with a double-door refrigerator in the corner, colorful fruits and vegetables on the dining table, and kitchenware such as an oven and steamer. It seems that this place sometimes needs to entertain guests to eat and stay.
The ground floor is unlikely, but this shop has three floors. There was an escape staircase hanging outside the wall, but it was actually close to midnight, and there were still occasional pedestrians passing by, so it was not possible to go to the morning to investigate so blatantly, not to mention that at this time, there were two people in chef's uniforms squatting at the back door, smoking and chatting.
Wen Qiao couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when he heard them say something like "a beautiful woman is here".
I only heard one of them say: "It is convenient to be good-looking, I used to know that women are beautiful and useful, and now I know that men are the same." Hey, why didn't my parents make me look better? β
The other person obviously scoffed: "What are you doing as a cook and looking so good?" β
"You're stupid, I'm good-looking and still a cook?"
"So what are you going to do?"
"Hehe, of course it's the one that makes a lot of money. After making enough money, I also want to pick a few of those women who come here every day to eat with me, and if I am happy, I will reward some dog food, and if I am not happy, I will scold them and drive them out, scolding them for toads and wanting to eat swan meat, wishful thinking, hahaha! β
After a moment of silence, the man asked, "What do you want to do if you have money in the future?" β
"Me? I...... Go back to my hometown, save enough money for life, and the money for my children's education, so I go home, I am not as happy as my hometown when I stay in this place. β
"What's wrong here? Not to mention anything else, the women here are all beautiful and fashionable, and they are many times stronger than those in the village. β
"Anyway, only my daughter-in-law is the most pleasing to the eye among the women in the world."
The man laughed and scolded: "You kid is still pretending to be B in front of me, have you ever seen a woman all over the world, you dare to say such a thing, with your small body, it's not enough for people to eat, haven't you heard of a saying that the woman under the mountain is a tiger?" β
"How can it be so exaggerated as you say?"
"Hey, you don't believe me? You haven't experienced any tests, of course you dare to stand and talk without backache. You don't even dare to take a sip of this thing, and you dare to say that you can withstand the test, you are not firm in your heart, but cowardly! β
Wen Qiao's heart tightened, as if he had anticipated what was about to happen next.
The other fell silent again.
"How? Would you like to take a bite? The man continued to tempt.
"Forget it, I don't want to spend money on this in the future."
Wen Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll just say you're a coward, it's a cigarette and not a drug, and you won't be addicted to a puff!"
"Also...... Forget it. β
"Egg-......" There was a faint electronic prompt sound, and the man said: "The dim sum is baked, give you a chance to open your eyes, and help me send it to room No. 2 on the third floor to see how people in the city play." β
After a while, I saw a young man in a chef's suit, carrying a tray, walking out the back door, pushing open a door next door, and walking in.
Wen Qiao hid in the darkness, quickly followed, and at the last moment when the door was closed, he had to hold two fingers against it today.
Inside, a narrow hallway with dim voice-activated lights illuminated only a small area, and a man in a chef's suit waited for the elevator less than three meters from the door.
Seeing this, Wen Qiao directly pushed the door and walked in, and closed the door with his hand. The young man was visibly taken aback, and the plate in his hand shook with a sound of metal colliding.
Wen Qiao didn't say a word, stood silently behind him, and waited for the elevator with him. He looked young, probably in his early 20s, and he looked cramped and helpless.
When the elevator arrived, Wen Qiao took the first step to press the 3rd floor, and then turned his head and asked the young man: "How many floors are you going to?" β
"I'll go to the third floor too." The young man glanced at him quickly, then quickly lowered his head to stare at the tray in his hand.
"You're going to the 3rd floor too?" He feigned surprise and said, "You're here to bring us food, right?" As he spoke, he lifted the lid on the tray, which contained a few tarts and buns.
"Why don't I just take it for you?" Wen Qiao couldn't help but take the tray from him, not giving him a chance to refuse.
Seeing that he was still standing in a daze, Wen Qiao hurriedly said, "Okay, leave it to me, you can hurry up." The young man had no choice but to exit the elevator in a daze, watching the elevator door slowly close in front of him.
It seems to be the upper floor of a small retail department store next door, so it seems that although the faΓ§ade on the first floor seems to be two unrelated stores, the upstairs is probably connected.
The elevator quickly went up to the 3rd floor, and although I had already figured out my words, I still had to do my best to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise.
Outside the elevator doors are covered with a thick carpet and are gorgeously decorated to look like a reception hall. There is also an elevator in front of the left, judging by the direction, it should be from the location of the Yulouchun bar that leads to here. At the moment, the display next to it quickly changed from 1 to 2 and is still on the upside.
There was no hiding place in this hall, there was nowhere to hide, there was a room on his right, but he couldn't be sure if there was anyone inside, if he rushed in, it was better to stay where he was, and deal with the person who was about to appear, maybe it would be easier to get by.
He had less than 5 seconds to make a judgment - should he face the incoming person, or should he hide in the room?
He didn't intend to dodge and decided to face the enemy head-on. However, he wanted to make a difference, so he retreated to the elevator and pressed the close button. I waited 3 seconds before reopening the door and walking out, pretending to be fresh.
There was a tall man in a black jacket outside, and he also seemed to feel a little strange about Wen Qiao's appearance.
Wen Qiao stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and the tray was left in the elevator by him. He took the initiative to reach out and greet him: "Hello, are you the boss here?" Brother Hui introduced me. He made up a common name, regardless of the triumph of twenty-one.
The man looked him up and down, with a wary expression: "Who are you talking about?" β
"I didn't hear clearly whether they were saying 'Feige' or 'Brother Hui' at the time, the Mandarin was not very standard, maybe I heard it wrong." Wen Qiao continued to deal with him: "I heard that you are recruiting people here, so I'll try my luck." β
The man nodded: "We do want people, but are you in the wrong place?" β
Wen Qiao's heart tightened, could it be that he was going to reveal his stuffing so soon? He continued to pretend to be confused: "But this is what they told me!" β
"He should be talking about the first floor, why did you come to the third floor?"
The first floor that this person said naturally refers to the Yulouchun Bar, Wen Qiao continued to lie to him: "I have done that kind of business on the first floor before, and the money is too slow, I have recently lost a sum of money, and I have no choice but to be urged, so I want to do something high-end." β
The suspicion in the man's eyes still did not decrease, and at this time, the door of the guest room was opened from the inside, and a rich middle-aged woman appeared at the door, glanced at them, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Ah Hui, what are you doing outside?" β
It turned out that this person's name was Ah Hui, and Wen Qiao couldn't help but feel frightened by his "good luck".
The man named "Ah Hui" stepped forward and whispered a few words to the middle-aged woman, and the two looked at Wen Qiao frequently, but Wen Qiao was not weak at all, and even raised his head slightly, accepting their scrutiny freely. And his gaze actually looked past the woman standing in the doorway and into the room.
The room was dimly lit, and from his vantage point, he could only see a pair of long overlapping legs, a pair of red-soled shoes on his feet, and the carry-on bag beside him seemed to look familiar.
"How is it, Brother Hui, do you think I can do it?" Wen Qiao suddenly said loudly to the two.
The leg immediately came down, and it looked like it had changed to a sitting position.
"You leave a contact information, and you can go back today." Ah Hui said.
At this moment, a lazy voice came from the room behind him: "Boss Mi, someone came and didn't introduce me, it's really not interesting!" β
Liu Mengwei poked her head out from behind the middle-aged woman, her eyes fell lightly on Wen Qiao, and she was instantly stunned. She pushed away the two people blocking the door and came to Wen Qiao's side, with spring water in her eyes: "Where have I seen this brother." β
The woman who was called Boss Mi by Liu Mengwei was surprised: "You know each other? β
Liu Mengwei looked shy: "It's exactly the same as the lover of my dreams." β
Boss Mi glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "This person is here to apply, it stands to reason that you two are peers, why are you still digesting it from within?" β
"Huh?" Liu Meng slightly let go of the hand holding him, and looked at Wen Qiao with some regret.
Boss Mi struck while the iron was hot: "It's not the gold owner who comes, it's the gold swallowing beast, if you want to afford such a man, it's not a small amount of money that can do it." β
Liu Meng bit her lip slightly, and looked at Wen Qiao reluctantly: "I know, but I am really reluctant, I fell at the first sight of him, Boss Mi, you save me." β
Boss Mi looked like a person who had come over, and said meaningfully: "Sister, my sister has eaten salt for a few years more than you, and I have seen a lot of various people, so it stands to reason that I want to persuade you, but I also know that what I say today will not work." While you can still toss while you are young, it is not a bad thing to toss more, otherwise when you are old, it will be impossible to find the happiness of your youth. β
"Boss Mi is right." Liu Mengwei echoed.
"Do you really like him?"
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Liu Meng looked at this graceful and luxurious woman with innocent eyes open.
Boss Mi almost couldn't control the expression on his face: "Do you know who are the people who come to me to find work?" β
"You know, I'm not one of them? Everyone is equal, what's so bad? β
Boss Mi hated iron and steel a little at this time, and sure enough, love can make people's IQ negative: "Okay, there's nothing bad, it's all a job to serve people, who is not serving?" In that case, you agreed to the thing we just said? β
Liu Mengwei looked helpless: "It seems that it can only be like that, what else can be done?" β
"Good!" Boss Mi showed a happy expression, walked back to the room, took out a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet, poured two glasses, handed one to Liu Mengwei, and then quickly touched her: "Happy cooperation." β
Liu Mengwei was about to hand the wine glass to her lips, when her hand suddenly shook and she shouted: "Oops! β
"What's wrong?" Boss Mi asked with a frown.
"It's nothing," Liu Mengwei put the wine glass on the table on the side, pinched his waist and said, "I suddenly have some stomach pain, I won't drink the wine, I'll get here here today, and we'll contact you another day." β
hurriedly said goodbye to Boss Mi, and as soon as he entered the elevator, Liu Mengwei pinched Wen Qiao's waist with his backhand: "Do you want to murder?" It hurts me! β
Wen Qiao did not react to her "attack", but his expression was extremely serious: "Never eat anything given by strangers outside." β
Liu Meng paused slightly, knowing that what he said was right, but he didn't want to show weakness to him, so he whispered like a child who had made a mistake but didn't want to admit it: "That bottle of wine costs 400,000!" β
Wen Qiao glared at her and said, "So what? β
"Curious, I haven't drunk that expensive." She continued to mumble quietly.
"Where do you get so much curiosity!" Wen Qiao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his tone became more and more stern: "Why are you here?" β
"Then why are you here? Wouldn't it be a guest at the bar on the first floor? Liu Meng smiled maliciously.
Seeing that she didn't seem to take her worries seriously, he grabbed her, and when he saw that there was no one around, he solemnly warned: "This place may be an important crime den, if you trespass in like this, if you ...... Can you afford to take responsibility for sabotaging our operations? β
Liu Mengwei saw that he was really angry, and his attitude softened: "Okay, I don't know if you have any action here tonight, you might as well listen to what news I heard here, maybe it will also help you!" β
