Chapter 25: Chess Pieces and Lantern Flowers

Chapter 25: Chess Pieces and Lantern Flowers

The lighting in the KTV was dim, and only the background lights were on in the lobby.

Before 7:30, before the guard duty time, Ye Zhenzhen came out of the bathroom and returned to the lounge.

The topic of the male model going to the hospital for gastric lavage gradually died down. After all, there was a lot of gossip here, and it was like chewing wax to keep talking about one topic.

The girls have already put on their makeup and started talking about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is May 20th, and every girl looks forward to these love-related festivals.

On this day, girls will receive gifts from customers. Cash, mobile phones, gold jewelry, etc. are standard. Of course, you can also add a bouquet of flowers. But if a blind customer only gives a bouquet of flowers, your ears will probably burn for several days.

Flowers can be used to appease the ignorant little girl. In nightclubs, people care more about real money. The way to express love does not require any thought, just spend money! It is very simple, direct and crude. People will only sneer at the empty tricks.

Of course, there are also customers who will say that my gift is from the heart. In this case, the customer is either mentally ill or a slick talker who is trying to deceive everyone.

The holiday boxes have been booked long ago. Booking a box not only helps you meet your sales targets, but also earns you commissions.

Even if you don't receive any gifts or book a private room, at least you can get a job. If there are many customers, you can go to work no matter how ugly you are. Holidays are also a guarantee of making money.

With so many benefits of Valentine's Day, it is not difficult to imagine everyone's anticipation for May 20th.

Everyone was discussing what gifts they would receive tomorrow. Many people with good means had received gifts long before the festival. Some even received branded bags, cars, houses, etc. Of course, gifts that were too expensive would not be received easily, and they would have to pay a price. Everyone knew this tacitly.

"Ye Zhenzhen, your guest is so generous, what will your gift be tomorrow? Tell us something and make us envious."

"Yeah! It won't amaze everyone!"

"I don't even expect to receive a gift myself, but I am extremely looking forward to Ye Zhenzhen's gift!"

Ye Zhenzhen squeezed into the sofa, feeling stuck in it, and her colleagues around her brought the topic to her.

Gift? Who? Wen Baijing? It seems unlikely that I will give her a gift on this holiday.

Who would give gifts to friends on a day like Valentine's Day? No one with a brain would do that. Of course, this is not the case for those who are just expressing their love or are stupid.

She dared not have any unrealistic fantasies about anyone.

Wen Baijing may have felt more pity for her, just like Ye Zhenzhen felt pity for a sparrow. It was just a coincidence that he suddenly felt compassion for her.

Ye Zhenzhen could only smile awkwardly. There was no way to answer this question. If you tell the truth, no one will believe you. If you tell a lie, will you be slapped in the face tomorrow?

"Well, I don't know either. What about you? What gifts have you received?" Ye Zhenzhen threw the question back with a smile.

Colleagues around me began to recall the gifts they had received before. Everyone talked about the first gift they received, when was it, what was it, who gave it to them, and how much was it worth?

When everyone was discussing enthusiastically, it was time to stand guard, and everyone walked towards the hall, still talking.

At 9:30, the lobby regained its golden and magnificent appearance. The thick and sweet aroma began to waft around again.

Wen Baijing told Ye Zhenzhen on WeChat to wait for him in the box. Ye Zhenzhen was exempted from the hard labor of standing guard and was on the way to the box.

She passed by a curtain of shimmering water, and a waterfall in a secluded valley in an empty mountain cascading down from the sky, stirring up splashing waves and wafting mist and smoke.

Ye Zhenzhen selected a long list of songs from the popular music charts. She sat on a small stool in front of her computer desk, resting her chin on her hand and staring blankly.

The box remained silent until the song list was finished.

The light is a little cold, and the Mona Lisa in the frame is always smiling.

She seemed to be waiting for the black car to be full of passengers and set off. Before she got on the car, the driver said, "You are the only one missing. Get in and we can leave immediately!" Then the driver put her luggage in the trunk.

After getting on the bus, she found that she was the only one there!

Want to get off? The driver said, "Don't worry! We'll be there soon and on the way! We've already arranged everything! Don't worry!"

So she could only wait, knowing that sooner or later the train would be full of passengers and would set off.

The waiting process was too painful. I had to get off the bus from time to time to take a breath, go to the toilet a few times, and finally buy a bag of sunflower seeds to kill time. However, I could only use the black car as a coordinate and could not run around randomly. Once the car was full, it would leave at any time.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't urge the black car driver, because the car would set off when it was full, and she just needed to wait patiently. Of course, she didn't have the guts to eat sunflower seeds.

Wen Baijing knew that he had compared him to a black car driver. How did he feel about that?

Thinking of this, Ye Zhenzhen smiled inexplicably.

When she got tired of sitting, she stood for a while, and when she got tired of standing, she sat for a while, and then she would let her mind wander for a while.

I reached out and touched my heel. The scar where it was rubbed by high heels had healed and was gradually fading.

After tomorrow, they will return to their own worlds. In a dream, Qu Qu realized three things. It started here and ended here.

I wrote the draft many times and revised it countless times. But when it came to the present, I was speechless.

The countdown to departure has begun.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and she immediately stood up. Wen Baijing had finally arrived. Ye Zhenzhen quickly straightened her posture and smiled.

The door was pushed open, and a beam of bright light came in. Ye Zhenzhen's expectant eyes dimmed in an instant.

"Zhenzhen, your guests haven't arrived yet!" Li Ling said with a smile on her face.

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head, "Well, not yet."

Li Ling walked into the box, "Zhenzhen, go to the box where I work and say hello! Your guests are not here at the moment, so you can leave."

"If a guest comes, it won't be good if I'm not here." Ye Zhenzhen politely refused. She would leave here tomorrow. If she knew one more guest, she would be at risk of being recognized. If she wanted to live an upright life, she couldn't leave a landmine for the future.

"Let's go! Go say hello." Li Ling took Ye Zhenzhen's arm, "The manager asked you to go say hello."

Ye Zhenzhen didn't want to be treated like a monkey, nor did she want to be hypocritical with the guests. Although she was leaving, she hadn't left yet. She had to go if her leader asked her to.

She sighed helplessly and was dragged out of the box by Li Ling.

Ye Zhenzhen said to the young master at the door of the private room: "If the guests arrive, please go and call me."

The young master smiled and agreed. After all, the customer had given him a generous tip, so he had no reason to offend her.

With every step Ye Zhenzhen took, she hoped that Wen Baijing would appear in the next second and the young master would call her back.

Passing the water curtain waterfall, walking past the dome murals, stepping on the exquisite carpet, she came to the door of Li Ling's box, but she did not wait for Wen Baijing.
