Chapter 1

Southern Guangdong, Zhongshan

The only reason the boss has for staying is that Qiye can mix very ordinary beverages and wines to create more delightful new drinks that cater to the tastes of the general public. Often, these new drinks can sell for a good price as soon as they are launched

It is precisely because they are wealthy that they are difficult to serve, and many bar staff have suffered from their harassment or teasing

It's fine, just deduct it from my salary and bonus next month

On the seventh night, unconcerned about living off borrowed time, he downed a self-mixed drink in one gulp. Then, he pulled out a yellowed pirated copy of "Flower | Flower | Prince" from the drawer and began to read it with great interest. After finishing, he kindly handed the book to the bartender sitting next to him, saying, "Would you like to take a look? It's quite intriguing."

Qiye lazily stretched and still stood up to help. At that moment, a rather handsome young man ran over and said: "Qiye, please help me deliver the drinks to table 7, I need to attend to a few customers upstairs"

Winter is somewhat cold

The handsome man's nickname is "Mouse". Very few people know his real name. It was once said that this guy was involved in the sex industry, but Qi Ye is unsure whether the rumors are true. However, seeing Mouse thrive in the bar scene, it is not uncommon for him to take home one or two women every couple of days, especially when luck is on his side, not to mention his high monthly salary.

Go, the stingy boss doesn't give overtime pay, I can't even be bothered to move

No boss would let go of this money-making tree

Subtle upon entry to the mouth, fragrant upon reaching the stomach, the intoxicating flavor that flows throughout the body is forever unforgettable

In recent days, the beautiful city has rarely experienced a large-scale snowfall, with a thickness of about 1 centimeter. Pedestrians on the road hurried along, most of them bundled up tightly as they rushed to their destinations. Only one man rode his bicycle through the snow. He wore a simple coat and even cloth shoes. Yet he held his head high, seemingly unafraid of the cold

When Qi Ye came to deliver the wine, several customers who originally intended to provoke him fell silent. They even happily engaged in conversation with Qi Ye, discussing romantic affairs, current events, and topics that men typically talk about

Qi Ye appears carefree and nonchalant, as if he is missing a string in everything, displaying a seemingly heartless demeanor. However, it is undeniable that he exudes a peculiar aura that is both elusive and intangible. This aura is difficult to articulate; it allows him to blend into a crowd without being noticed, yet when placed in high society or alongside prominent figures such as governors and mayors, he does not seem out of place. It is as if he is the leader, while the governor and mayor appear to be his subordinates.

Qiye walked into the bar and found that it was already crowded with many people. He approached the bar and began to mix a few bottles of liquor for himself. A female bartender beside him glanced at Qiye and coldly said, "The amount of alcohol you have consumed this month has already exceeded what your salary can afford. Therefore, I advise you not to drink anymore"

But Qiye has never envied anyone; he only needs to be himself

The female bartender rolled her eyes and shot a glare at Qiye, expressing her displeasure: "A very famous band is coming to the bar in the next few days, and there will be a lot of customers. If you have nothing else to do, go and help out!"

In order to make a living, he took on several part-time jobs. In the evenings, he worked at a bar called "Dark World"; in the mornings, he served as a network administrator at a large internet café; during his free time, he also helped clean up the internet café after the overnight customers. In the afternoons, he would visit a billiard hall, which was opened by a friend of his, just to lend a hand.

Qiye was closest to the entrance. As soon as the four girls entered the bar, Qiye approached them and led the beautiful women to a private room on the second floor. The rat, filled with lustful thoughts, felt a pang of regret upon seeing Qiye take the lead. Beautiful women are always the best remedy for stimulating a man's hormones. Especially those who are both beautiful and wealthy. If given the chance to serve them, based on his past experience as a gigolo, he was confident he could take one away to a hotel within an hour.

Suddenly, several luxury cars stopped at the entrance of the bar. A red Lexus and a Rolls-Royce, an Audi A8, and a white Maserati. Four stunningly beautiful girls emerged from inside, their aura of wealth making them stand out starkly against the bar's atmosphere. Any man in their presence would feel a sense of inferiority.

Only with a slight smile can he subtly reveal a hint of mischief, allowing others to remember his presence. However, more often than not, he observes the world with a faint smile, his indifference—real yet unexpressed—enabling him to maintain a certain distance from everyone.

The female bartender is quite attractive and is said to be attending university, working part-time in the evenings. She has always been indifferent towards Qiye.

Qiye walked over to Table 7 with several bottles of foreign wine ordered by the guests. At Table 7 sat a few regulars of the bar, all of whom were very wealthy, casually ordering foreign wine worth thousands of yuan. They were dressed extravagantly, wearing Prada clothing and belts from Hermès, exuding an air of superiority, their gazes often tinged with a subtle disdainful arrogance.

Quickly locking up the bicycle and the book, Qiye walked into the bar. The luxury cars at the entrance seemed out of place compared to Qiye's bicycle

Only the exception is for seven nights

The man's name is Qiye, and he does not know his true name. His senior sister said he is called Qiye, so he goes by Qiye.

After having dinner, I bid farewell to my senior sister, and then Qi Ye went to work at the bar

If he has free time, he will stay at the flower shop run by his senior sister to help her

Qiye is indeed a peculiar person. He is neither handsome nor does he possess the imposing presence that commands attention. However, those with discernment find him to be quite profound; he is like a cup of light wine hidden in a narrow alley, lacking a strong aroma and not particularly remarkable. Yet, those who have truly tasted this light wine will never forget its flavor

The bartender and the female bartender inside merely cast a fleeting glance at Qiye before quickly lowering their heads to continue their work. To them, Qiye is the kind of person who is dispensable to the entire bar; he has no impressive achievements and lacks effective means to attract customers. The most profound impression everyone has of him is that, when he is in the mood, he can concoct some uniquely flavored fine wines
