Chapter 68: The Bottom of the World
After the two left the club, the neon lights on the street were still on, and drunk customers abound on the street.
The two of them walked all the way deeper, and the shops around them began to be more glamorous, and the huge doors had their names written on them, and several women with large breasts were hired to wait at the door under the gilt lettering.
That's the way they are, and their male waitresses only greet female customers when they come or when they need to stop, and if they get deflated, they don't like the female customers and scratch a little paint on the car, and they probably won't be able to stay here.
With their pitiful salary.
In normal times, the waitresses would hide inside the door, quietly waiting for their time to play.
But now, Chen Qing followed Carlance's figure all the way, and the faces of those male waiters showed a little disgust, a little regret, and a little envy.
In their eyes, this kind of guest who is brought and attracted by a delicate butler or waiter is much more noble than themselves.
They hid in the shadows behind the door, and the big-breasted ladies outside the door, the hostesses who couldn't be called etiquette, and the waitress swarmed up.
But they didn't walk in front of Carlance, they didn't even look at Carlance more.
A person like this, dressed neatly dressed and meticulously dressed in the middle of the night, will never be the main man in the line.
They didn't look sideways at their peers, they gathered around the young man, using their plump bodies to make contact with each other, and the hot body temperature was far less than the bottom of their hearts.
They surrounded the boy, and someone asked, "Little sir, do you have an appointment?" Is there anyone waiting for you. ”
Chen Qing nodded, although he didn't have a good impression of the person beside him, he obviously wouldn't reject it: "Someone made an appointment with me." ”
He smelled the inferior perfume coming from the other party, and an older woman forcibly squeezed in front of him: "Sir, what is your name?" I can help you find the reserved private room. ”
Chen Qing was a little stunned, but seeing that the other women who were squeezed away did not show other looks, he didn't say anything, of course: "I don't know the name." But he should have my name, Chen Qing. ”
"Chen Qing......" The woman whispered, her fingertips quickly typing her name on the tablet on her waist, and in three or two seconds, the smile on her face was occupied by surprise.
"You...... The other party is Mr. Su, and he did leave your name...... Please confirm that you are in charge of resolving the request. She asked solemnly again, looking a little nervous.
Her shoulders were slightly raised, and her arms and neck were forced, Chen Qing was a little puzzled, but she still answered her doubts.
"Yes. It's me. She was a little nervous, but why.
Chen Qing frowned slightly, and the woman in front of him hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me...... Please forgive me, this is what we have to ask and this is also to ensure that you do not go to the wrong private room......"
She lowered her head, but there seemed to be some kind of force that made her unable to retreat, she turned sideways and stretched out her hand to guide Chen Qing in the direction of his progress.
She was clearly trembling, the arm and the fingertips were already shaking unstoppable, Chen Qing frowned, sped up two steps slightly, and crossed in front of the woman.
But somehow, he seemed to feel that all this seemed to be a little cruel to her, Chen Qing thought so, so he had to turn sideways, and chose not to look after taking two steps faster.
But although he couldn't see it, the woman's subtle breathing sound was still so obvious, walking towards the elevator, walking into the elevator, only her breathing sound was faintly haunting in the confined space, Chen Qing was a little puzzled, he turned his head and asked her.
"How old has this hotel been?"
The woman trembled, raised her head, lowered her eyebrows and glanced at Chen Qing, and after seeing that the other party didn't seem to mean anything else, she mustered up the courage to reply: "Maybe it's only eleven or twelve years, there are always people who say that this store has been open for a longer time than us...... But at least in terms of documents, this store is only a dozen years old. ”
"Really?" He asked, "You've been doing this for years?" ”
"No...... Not really. She pondered for a moment, as if she had something indescribable.
"I'm thirty-five years old...... Unemployed. Just last month. She smiled and looked a little pity: "Maybe I'm not doing well enough, maybe I'm not working hard enough, maybe I'm not helping the company too much." ”
She chuckled under her breath, but there was no joy in that laughter.
"Is there no compensation?"
She shook her head: "I've been to the union, but the answer they gave me was that I didn't work hard enough. ”
She chuckled softly, and for some reason: "I only have one day off a month...... They said I wasn't working as hard as my other colleagues, and they advised me to go back and tell me to hurry up and find my next job.
Don't start the arbitration when the time comes, leaving the case behind, no one will dare to hire. ”
Chen Qing listened, but the words in his mouth were slow to speak.
He doesn't comfort people, but this kind of thing may be the norm in this restaurant.
"At least there won't be any unpaid wages here." That's all he can say.
"Yes......" the woman smiled again, "at least it's the end of the day." ”
As their chat ended, the elevator journey reached the end of the road just right.
She covered the screen door of the elevator for Chen Qing with one hand, and let Chen Qing walk out of the private room on the highest floor of the restaurant first.
She trotted two steps, bowed slightly at Chen Qing's side, stretched out one hand, and pointed to the road ahead.
"It's still ahead." She said.
Chen Qing left, and after walking to the box, the woman stayed outside.
She stood at the door, and her expression was already a little nervous.
"It's almost the money for this month......" she muttered as she received a text message on her phone in her pocket.
It vibrated and was right next to her lap, but she didn't dare to look at it, and she would deduct money if she was caught on the surveillance.
She touched the pocket next to her leg, as if there were ants crawling in her heart.
"Maybe the child asked where the food was......"
She shook her head: "Maybe it's just that the kid misses me." ”
A slight smile appeared on her face.
She fumbled in her pocket, and the tremors subsided. She breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment she saw a man running towards her in a hurry.
The man was dressed in six or seven buckles, and he wore a hat on his head, which seemed to be made of wool felt, and his hair was a little deflated, and the hair under the hat was a little silvery-white.
His steps staggered, but the shoes on his feet were shiny, he looked up at the information in the private room, ignored the woman standing in front of the door, and pushed the door and walked in.
And what about the woman? According to the rules, she should have stopped the man in front of the door to question, but she didn't dare, she just thought that if she was blamed, the little boy in the house might be better talkative.
She trembled, and her palm touched the phone in her pocket, and the heat of the battery made her feel a lot more comfortable......
She turned her head to look to the left and right, perhaps she could take a look around the corner to see what was on her phone.
……
In the private room, Chen Qing looked at the person who came but didn't react much, he coughed the melon seeds on the table, and his mouth was a little dry after eating.
"Carlance, help see if there's any water."
He sat on the couch with the most expensive knitted blanket on the ground in front of him.
He leaned back lazily, and the mat on the couch seemed to be made of ivory.
"He's coming." Calance crouched and poured water from the pot as he raised his voice and guided the doorman deeper into the house.
The man came, his face pale, and his hairline had reached the top of his skull after taking off the hat on his head.
"You...... So young. His complexion seemed to be a little bad, but an inexplicable fear made him dare not say anything.
"Don't worry." Chen Qing raised his eyes to look at him, but said comfortingly: "If you can't identify it or find out the reason, there will naturally be other investigators to take your commission." ”
The man smirked and nodded.
"My surname is Su...... I own this shop, and I rest here on weekdays.
Because I haven't fallen asleep for a while...... So ......"
He nodded, and pulled a piece of jade from his neck.
The jade pendant was green all over, but there was a soaking bright red in the center, the size of a palm, and it was carved in the shape of a crocodile.
And the bright red is coincidentally at the head of the crocodile.
"You know there's something wrong with this thing, and you still have it with you?" Chen Qing was a little curious, and after taking the jade pendant in his hand, he felt a burst of warmth.
This jade may be very valuable, he aimed at the light, and the cloudy jade body could not see the opposite side.
"Can't put it down...... I can't put it down......" Mr. Su's face was pale, and he seemed to have something unspeakable.
"What happens when you take it off?"
"Heh......" he smiled awkwardly, but at that moment, someone pushed the door and walked in.
The man wore a big gold chain and a watch, but his body was unusually thin, and even his thin shirt looked a little ill-fitting.
"Come on! Tell grandpa what is wrong with this jade pendant! ”
He shouted all the way, and his voice was so loud that it also interrupted Chen Qing's watching.
"You brought this man?" Chen Qing looked at Mr. Su and asked.
"Yes...... Not really. The man nodded, and the previous respect seemed to be pretended: "This jade pendant is what they sold me, if it is determined that it is the problem of the jade pendant, then they will have to spit out the money to buy the jade pendant." ”
"Isn't that?"
"Then of course it has nothing to do with them."
Before Mr. Su's words fell, two people walked in one after another outside the door.
The three of them were like those unemployed vagrants and wanderers in the streets and alleys, they raised their chins and drew twice at Chen Qingnabi.
"Just buddy said that there is a problem with the jade pendant? What's the matter? ”
