Chapter 3
The rat quietly informed Qiye that the boss is a significant figure in the underworld of Shanghai. However, the boss is very low-key and never reveals this. Nevertheless, Qiye can tell from the good security in the bar and the fact that no small-time thugs dare to come here to collect protection fees that the boss indeed possesses considerable influence
The classical beauty had no doubt that as soon as she ascended the stairs, the bartender would completely forget about her.
The old demon, drinking cheap beer, gazed with a cold expression at the frenzied young people downstairs. At some point, several young individuals with red hair and green hair unexpectedly began breakdancing in the dance floor, seemingly stealing the spotlight, while a circle of onlookers was forced to stand by, unable to join in the dance.
Honestly, this young man has always been difficult to see through. On the surface, he appears simple and unremarkable, even giving off a sense of coldness and unapproachability. Yet, he consistently reveals moments of brilliance. Not to mention that after the bar was renovated according to his taste, it indeed attracted more customers; even just his skill in mixing drinks could make him a highly compensated top bartender.
Fortunately, Qi Ye was quick-witted and swift, promptly wrapping his arms around the waist of the classical beauty, ensuring that she did not fall. With Qi Ye's support, the classical beauty steadied herself and smiled gently at him, saying, "Thank you."
To attract customers, bars typically invite well-known DJs and rock bands to liven up the atmosphere. In Zhongshan, even bars that can only be considered mid-range often host top domestic bands. If the quality is lacking, in such a super city that values reputation, it can only lead to disdain.
However, those who seek to show off, believing that after performing a few flashy street dance moves they can win the affection of a beautiful woman and later spend the night in bed, often face consequences that are not being admired by the beauty but rather being dragged into a corner and beaten up, and then thrown into the river to feed the fish
Qiye was engrossed in reading when the female bartender beside him suddenly patted his shoulder and said lightly: "Qiye, could you please sweep the floor? The cleaning lady didn't come today"
However, during the occasional fights at the bar later on, Qi Ye always quietly hid at the back of the crowd instead of playing the hero to save the beauty, which made Yao Lao Liu certain that he had misjudged the situation.
Upon looking again, Qi Ye's gaze returned to normal, immediately giving off a sense of indifference and coldness. The classical beauty shook her head, convinced that she must have been mistaken. Subsequently, she ceased to speak with Qi Ye and went upstairs on her own.
Qiye posed in front of the mirror, revealing a face that was not particularly handsome, yet very clean. However, the fleeting glimmer that occasionally flashed in the mirror stirred a sense of unease. ... It was an enchanting and profound gaze, capable of ensnaring one deeply and irretrievably ...
Line ! ''
However, he chose to be a service staff member, seemingly intent on concealing his brilliance
Yao Lao Liu shifted his gaze back, fixing it on Qi Ye, who was watching "Flower | Flower | Prince," his eyes narrowing slightly
On the first floor of the bar, several members of rock bands donned eccentric outfits, while countless young people swayed freely, clapping to the rhythm. The bar owner on the second floor held an elegant glass containing the most ordinary beer, smiling as he observed the rare prosperity within the bar
The band that the boss hired at great expense has evidently not wasted their efforts. The bar has been bustling with business these past few days, and the previously overlooked foreign liquors, priced in the thousands, have all sold out. There has even been a need to temporarily source some liquor from other bars to meet the demand
Even the most foolish woman would not fall deeply in love with a man merely due to a fleeting glance. While love at first sight does exist, it must be based on the woman being beautiful and the man being wealthy, powerful, and handsome. In simple terms, this refers to the archetype of the tall, rich, and handsome man, which is fundamentally unrelated to a man who is merely a bartender or a library attendant and is also indifferent.
Footsteps were heard behind him. Qi Ye turned his head to look and found that it was the classical beauty from the private room on the second floor heading to the restroom. Qi Ye smiled and gave her a polite nod. He noticed that the classical beauty met his gaze for a moment, suddenly blushing, and stumbled slightly, exclaiming, "Oh dear," nearly losing her balance.
She never imagined that someone could have such enchanting moments
No need
Caution
This fellow is not capable of great things
The boss is named Yao Lao Liu, and he has been running this bar for about one or two years. He is a lean and tall, capable man. No one knows his background, but judging by the fact that he occupies this bustling section of Zhongshan and has even forced a high-end bar named "Aode" to settle in a remote corner, everyone is aware that the boss's identity is not simple
After cleaning up the trash, Qiye placed the mop in the corner and then looked at himself in the mirror. Even though he was dressed simply, Qiye still maintained a clean appearance, as one should at all times. This is a quality that a person with good upbringing should possess
Even so, the old demon Liu could perceive from the occasionally displayed imposing demeanor of this young man that he might have once held a high position. It was so fleeting that even the old demon Liu began to doubt his own vision
The classical beauty nodded slightly, feeling somewhat perplexed. Just moments ago, the waiter had turned to greet her while looking in the mirror, and she distinctly saw a glimmer in his eyes. This light was dazzling and enchanting, capable of stirring her usually calm heart, almost causing her to lose control and fall deeply into it.
Qiye nodded slightly, not refusing the additional tasks. This is also why, despite being aloof, Qiye is able to get along harmoniously with other colleagues in the bar
Qiye put down "Flower | Flower | Prince" and took a mop to the corridor to clean the floor. A few young people with red heads and green hair were throwing things around carelessly, and Qiye had to go and clean up this mess.
