The Eighth Eye
Laughter and cheerful voices echoed around me
But whenever she thought of that person being Mu Jiyun, she felt as if there was an abyss of ten thousand fathoms before her
He propped his hands on his knees, supporting his upper body, staring at Chu Zhao Zhao, with the tip of his tongue pressed against his cheek, occasionally twitching, appearing to be deep in thought
Such generosity in your actions
As Mu Jiyun's car slowly passed in front of Chu Zhao Zhao, she was certain that Mu Jiyun glanced at her, his gaze no longer as clear as it had been in the morning, leaving Chu Zhao Zhao with an indescribable feeling
Chu Zhao Zhao sneezed all the way to the bus stop, her face and neck were frozen red, her feet were also stiff, and the bus just wouldn't arrive, so Chu Zhao Zhao could only keep stomping her feet
Chu Zhao Zhao walked over, and Qiu Si Ge immediately placed the money in front of her, "Do you know who gave this red envelope?"
Sure, you sold seven bottles of Louis XIII today. At this rate, you will be the sales champion of the month.
But now it seems, isn't it just a mistress
It is still the familiar voice, still the familiar person
While saying "envy" with her mouth, there was not a trace of envy in her eyes. Qiu Sige knew that Chu Zhao Zhao was just being perfunctory with her, and he was too lazy to say much more. "Mu Shao and the others are upstairs, and they just called for you. Don't say that Sige isn't helping you; just look at Cindy and handle it yourself."
However, Ke Chuozhao began to think seriously.
The biting cold wind carrying snow is no mere deception; it is not scissors, but rather a cleaver, as if it intends to sever one's neck with each gust.
With such a performance tonight, Chu Zhao Zhao, of course, Qiu Si Ge is willing to let her go, and without further ado, they settled the matter immediately
Brother Qiu pinched the money and fanned it on her forehead, "I told you, maintain the customer base! How can we develop customers into a 'stable customer base'? Any transaction seeks mutual benefit, right? In our kind of place, the barmaids receive commissions from the customers, but what do the customers gain? Where else can they not buy alcohol? Why must they buy it from you? Because in our kind of establishment, the interactions between men and women are the most stable connection! Look at Cindy, she followed President Wang and has risen to success, she doesn't even come to work anymore, and now she just waits to enjoy the good life, don't you envy that?"
The traffic conditions here are complex, and vehicles usually drive very slowly
Chu Zhao Zhao lowered her head and walked towards the horse, glancing at Mu Ji Yun out of the corner of her eye
Fourth brother, could you please settle the accounts for me? I am feeling a bit unwell and would like to go back and rest
In the night, when Chu Zhao Zhao woke up, she found that it was already a quarter past ten, and more than two hours had passed since the start of her work time. She panicked and quickly grabbed her clothes to rush to the Yunyan residence
Upon closer inspection, it turns out that it is snowing
Then, Chu Zhao Zhao said to the waiter: "Seven bottles, please."
Chu Zhao Zhao discovered that even after changing partners, she was still able to strive to please her guests
Thus, Duan Xiao could only wave his hand and say: "Alright, alright, you go ahead and do your thing."
Mu Jiyun smiled and no longer paid him any attention. She said to the waiter, "The usual, five bottles of Louis XIII, put it on her tab."
In a hurry to apply her makeup, when Chu Zhao Zhao arrived at the lounge, she saw Qiu Si Ge holding a thick red envelope, surrounded by several waitstaff who were chattering away.
After she rolled a chaotic number for the third time, Duan Xiao incredulously pinched Chu Zhao Zhao's chin and asked, "Have you become a different person?"
He said to Chu Zhao Zhao, "Beautiful lady, I will open seven bottles for you today, how about coming over to accompany me?"
Mu Jiyun saw Chu Zhao Zhao coming and waved familiarly, "Come here"
Mu Jiyun always stands out among a group of people, wearing a white shirt with the collar pulled open significantly, messily sticking to his chest muscles
Chu Zhao Zhao clearly felt a buzzing sound near her ear, and the frequency of her heartbeat was somewhat off, with a sensation of tightness in her chest
Duan Xiao lit a cigarette for himself, and even casually rolling a die by himself was better than how Chu Zhao Zhao rolled it.
The voice was resolute, without a trace of hesitation
Chu Zhao Zhao immediately straightened up and stood properly by the roadside
Chu Zhao Zhao slowly stood up and walked outside, passing by Mu Ji Yun without even raising his eyelids
Qiu Sige was overjoyed to see her
Chu Zhao Zhao gave a self-deprecating smile, remarking that the disparity in treatment between people is indeed too great
Later, stomping my feet became ineffective, so I began to jump in place
The vehicle passed smoothly without any intention to stop
Chu Zhao Zhao then went to the changing room to change her clothes, not even having the strength to remove her makeup
Until then, Chu Zhao Zhao sneezed
The passing men in red and women in green seem to pay little attention to this first snowfall; at most, they take a photo with their phones to post on social media.
Qiu Sige triumphantly waved the stack of money and said, "Disperse, disperse, go about your business."
However, for some reason, today when she helped roll the dice, it was as if she was possessed, with the numbers coming up as poorly as possible.
The reason she was able to recognize this car so quickly is that she had just ridden in it this morning
Duan Xiao drank alcohol, and she poured wine for him and offered him fruit
Mu Jiyun asked Chu Zhao Zhao to sit beside him and said, "You all have partners, so I will find one too"
This sudden physical contact startled Chu Zhao Zhao, as if Duan Xiao were about to tear off her mask, causing her to immediately spring back a considerable distance
If she had heard about this yesterday, Chu Zhao Zhao might have naively thought that Cindy had become President Wang's girlfriend
She sells alcohol, not her body. Today, a customer can buy alcohol from you, and tomorrow a sweet-talking customer may just turn away. After all, the alcohol is the same, and the prices are the same. Why must one insist on buying from a particular seller? Unlike physical transactions, where there is some degree of consideration for feelings and familiarity, selling alcohol is a one-time deal. Rather than worrying about keeping customers in hand, it is better to secure the immediate profit first.
Looking back, he saw Chu Zhao Zhao and waved to her, "Come here."
She rubbed her hands together, tucked them into her pockets, and walked towards the bus stop
Just as the waiter was about to leave, Duan Xiao jumped up again, "Don't go!"
Chu Zhao Zhao's reaction made Duan Xiao feel embarrassed. Without waiting for Chu Zhao Zhao to say anything, Duan Xiao waved his hand and said, "You might as well go accompany Teacher Mu, it's pointless."
As she stepped out of the gates of the Yunyan residence, she discovered a tranquility that was discordant with the vibrant nightlife of the streets filled with bright lights and flowing wine
She could also turn around and walk away, no longer maintaining contact with Mu Jiyun, but the income from those two nights allowed her to taste the sweetness
Chu Zhao Zhao once again assumed her expression of seeming understanding yet not truly comprehending
In the midst of her joyful bouncing, a black sedan entered Chu Zhao Zhao's line of sight, capturing her full attention
He raised his eyebrows while speaking, appearing quite unserious, and everyone took him as joking
However, I heard Mu Jiyun on the opposite side let out a cold laugh, clearly displeased
As Chu Zhao Zhao ascended the stairs, she kept pondering the words of Brother Qiu Si
As Qiu Sige tore open the red envelope, a glimpse of the Renminbi revealed itself, prompting a wave of astonishment from those nearby
At this moment, Mu Jiyun's face and Qiu Sige's words were constantly swirling, colliding, and overlapping in her mind
However, this time it seems that a new group of people has been replaced. Apart from Duan Xiao, I have not seen any of the others, totaling three men and two women, with the two women linking arms with Duan Xiao and one of the unfamiliar men
Perhaps this is why it is called "luck"
Unable to stop
Everyone burst into laughter, and Shu Duanxiao laughed the loudest, pushing away the female companion beside him, wishing he could pull Chu Zhao Zhao to his side across the table
The door of the lounge has kept the sound of music outside, resulting in a much quieter environment
Chu Zhao Zhao said she did not know
Chu Zhao Zhao may be the only person on this street who appreciates the snowflakes dancing gracefully in the light of the street lamps
He rested the hand holding the cigarette on the sofa, half-closing his eyes, while the person beside him whispered in his ear, prompting him to nod occasionally
Still B14, that familiar place
Chu Zhao Zhao descended the stairs in a daze, feeling somewhat at a loss.
Yet she said, "I envy."
Pah! You are cheating! Duan Xiao has come here many times and knows Chu Zhao Zhao, so he was the first to jump out and oppose, "She is just a fake!"
It is the snow tonight that makes her willing to linger here for a moment for the first time
Well, this has offended the guests
Chu Zhao Zhao touched her bag and realized that she had woken up late tonight. In her haste to leave, she had forgotten to wear a mask, scarf, and gloves
It seems that I am truly unwell, what is there to see in the snow
This bar street is opulent and luxurious, with luxury cars arriving one after another, yet Chu Zhao Zhao cannot find a sense of reality
Brother Qiu Si held a cigarette in his mouth and said: "Zhao... is from Cindy. She has become successful now, no longer comes to work, yet she hasn't forgotten to support Brother Si, sending a generous red envelope."
