Chapter 18: Incompetence

Lin Lan looked at her daughter woodenly, and for a while, she covered her face painfully and sat aside.

"Iris, mom can't help it, your father's illness costs money every minute, I went to pay the bill just now, and a course of treatment will be close to 100,000 yuan, how long can the bank card you gave me last before?" I have been sick for a long time and have no relatives, and my mother really doesn't know who to borrow money from......"

Zhu Yuan held back her tears and walked over and patted Lin Lan on the back.

"Mom, I'll find a way to deal with money, the He family is not what you think on the surface, you resign as soon as possible, I ......"

"Iris," Lin Lan wiped away a handful of tears, "the year you just left, your father needed a lot of money for rescue, I borrowed it from the He family, wrote an IOU, and signed a five-year contract to pay off the debt, I can't just leave, where do we have the money to pay this money now?" ”

Zhu Kite's words came to an abrupt end in his throat.

Every character she wanted to say turned into a sharp knife, tearing her to the ground.

It seems to be mocking her incompetence.

……

To calm Lin Lan's emotions, Zhu Yuan took a deep look at his father and left the hospital.

At eight o'clock in the evening, night has fallen, but the vibrancy of the city has just begun.

Zhu Kite drove to an old place.

The timbre of the LOGO is simple and atmospheric, and it shines a mysterious light at night.

Zhu Yuan quietly watched at the door for a while and walked in.

The first person to see her was Xu Wei, the previous lobby manager.

Xu Wei was also shocked when he saw her, "Zhu Kite? After a pause, he smiled and said, "Don't forget to take care of old friends when you are developed?" Are you bringing a friend to play? ”

Zhu Yuan took a step forward, "Manager Xu, is Huo Youchuan here?" ”

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Inside, do you have something to do with him?" ”

Zhu Yuan followed Xu Wei and saw his figure through the transparent glass in the middle of the door, and did not rush to disturb, just stood outside and waited slowly.

Huo Youchuan was receiving a guest in a private room, and the guest seemed to have some background, and he drank a few glasses of wine with him.

After a few glasses of spirits, Huo Youchuan felt a little dizzy, raised his head and moved his neck.

But in an instant, I saw Zhu Kite's face.

The glass door was thick, and the light kept flickering his eyes, and he closed them and smiled self-deprecatingly.

It's really too much to drink, how could Zhu Kite still come here to find him.

But when he opened his eyes again, he found that Zhu Kite was still there.

He was stunned, put down his glass, said something to the person next to him, and hurriedly walked over to open the door.

Zhu Yuan stood quietly across the door, his face was a little pale, his eyes were not emotional, and he was still faint, but Huo Youchuan squinted, as if he saw broken cracks.

He wanted to take a step forward, but he felt that the smell of tobacco and alcohol on his body was too strong.

He remembered that Zhu Kite had always disliked the smell of smoke.

He looked at her and said, "You go to my office and wait for me, and I'll wash my face." ”

Zhu Yuan nodded.

Huo Youchuan walked into the bathroom, and the cold water kept pouring on his face, and it took a while to slowly wake up.

He looked at himself in the mirror and exhaled heavily.

When he returned to the office, Huo Youchuan had already regained his composure, he lowered his eyes and looked at Zhu Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa and resting on the kite, frowning a little distressedly.

You can see that she is really tired.

Sensing him coming in, Zhu Yuan opened his eyes.

Huo Youchuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhu Yuan stood up, "I want you to sing part-time here after getting off work in the evening, is it okay?" “

Huo Youchuan was stunned.

Zhu Yuan added, "The price doesn't have to be as high as before, you can charge by the hour, and I can also help sell drinks and ......."

Huo Youchuan's face sank.

He took Zhu Kite's arm and asked her to sit down.

His heavy eyes looked at her for a long time, and he asked, "Zhu Kite, what's wrong with you?" Why do you need money? ”

Zhu Yuan didn't want to look him in the eye.

She looked away.

"Dad's illness in the hospital has come and gone, so prepare more money in case of emergency."

The atmosphere was silent for a long time.

Huo Youchuan stood up.

"Every night from 7 to 10 o'clock, closed on Mondays, the basic salary for a month is 10,000 yuan, and tips and commissions are calculated separately."

I wish the kite to lower her eyes.

The intense sourness stimulated her senses, and Zhu Yuan sniffed and bit her lip.

She really, really, hated her sentimental self.

"Let's start tonight, Yogawa, thank you."

Huo Youchuan looked at her deeply, and before leaving the office, he smiled a little relieved.

His heavy breath lingered in the enclosed space, and his back seemed a little more lonely.

"Zhu Kite, I'm really happy that you can come to me for help."

Zhu Yuan turned around, but only saw the back of Huo Youchuan leaving.

She lowered her eyes.

Many, many years ago, it was such a cold evening.

She hadn't looked at his face since.

-

Inside the box of the Timbre Club.

Chi Jingxing sat in the center of the sofa, his eyes slightly closed.

The taste of this new wine is a little bitter, and a few young masters smacked their lips and put it down after tasting a few sips, only him, cup after cup.

He loved the taste.

The cold bitterness is tactful and circuitous in the mouth.

Reminds him of a man.

"Chi Shao, do you want to sing a song?"

A young lady came over to set it up, she was a new part-time student from a nearby university, and she had just been working for a few days, because she was beautiful and sweet, Xu Wei made an exception for her to contact high-end customers.

As soon as she entered the box, she noticed Chi Jingxing, a completely different aura and sense of oppression from others, he didn't say a word, but that belonged to the middle position, and everyone defaulted to him.

The young lady picked up Chi Jingxing's wine glass, took a sip, frowned slightly, and smiled.

"Chi Shao likes the taste, it's very different."

Chi Jingxing glanced at her, hooked his lips, and still didn't speak.

Seeing that he did not react much, the young lady became emboldened and sat closer.

When a son-in-law saw this scene, he hugged his female companion in his arms and said with a smile, "Camellia is a new college student's sister, and her vision can be picked. ”

The young lady called Camellia smiled and reached out to climb on Chi Jingxing's shoulder.

The fragrance was soft, and Chi Jingxing did not refuse, reaching out and holding it, his fingers intentionally or unintentionally brushed the skin of Camellia's exposed arm.

Camellia hooked her lips and smiled harder.

As soon as Cheng Mu walked in, what he saw was Chi Jingxing holding a beautiful woman like a flower and jade with an expressionless face, and her eyes were obscure.

He raised an eyebrow and walked over to him and sat down.

Just as he was about to speak, one of the boys paused the music.

It was Wen Han of the Wen family.

"My dad's summer resort has been built, and it hasn't officially opened yet, I want to invite a few brothers to come over and have a good time, and everyone hasn't had a good time relaxing, how about it?"

Cheng Mu sneered, "It's winter, what kind of heat to avoid?" ”

Wen Han smiled evilly, "Who said that the summer resort is only used to escape the heat, and there are many ways to play." What do you think? ”

He looked at Chi Jingxing, "There are few pools, and the group has been doing a lot recently, let's go have a fun together?" ”

Camellia raised her eyes, paying attention to the movement of Chi Jingxing.

His eyes lowered slightly, his eyes not knowing where to focus, his knuckled hand gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, the dark brown liquid wrapping around the glass like a nimble snake.

His thin lips furrowed, "Okay." ”

With Chi Jingxing speaking, naturally no one present would say no.

Cheng Mu was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Wen Han took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Young Master Cheng won't go, right?" After all, he is a family person, if the eldest lady of the Shi family knows, Young Master Cheng will not be able to eat and walk around! ”

Cheng Mu frowned and smacked mockingly.

"I'm afraid of her?" He looked at Chi Jingxing, "Jingxing will go too, what's the big deal!" ”

"Good! Sunday morning, see you soon! Wen Han said with a smile.
