After the tall waiter left, the box became lively again.
Liao Honglei unscrewed the bottle, tilted his head back and poured the wine into his mouth. After gulping down a few mouthfuls, he wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, looked at Deng Shentong who was sitting next to him, and asked curiously, "Is there anything special about that waiter? Captain, why did you ask him specifically?"
Deng Shentong's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the goblet in his hand, and the cup wall touched his fingertips, making a crisp and subtle sound.
He narrowed his eyes, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, revealing an elusive smile: "Nothing, I just feel that he is a little familiar."
Bai Chunyu refilled Deng Shentong's glass of red wine and said casually, "Maybe he encountered it during an operation. Captain, you have saved quite a few ordinary people."
After that, he put the bottle back to its original place, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his hands carefully, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "And I think the way that guy looks at you, Captain, seems a little strange. It doesn't seem like he's seeing you for the first time."
Hearing this, Deng Shentong stopped what he was doing and looked towards the door thoughtfully, as if recalling the expression of the waiter just now.
After a moment, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled: "Maybe it's true as you said, but it doesn't matter, he's just a small waiter, don't worry about it."
He picked up the glass and swirled it a few times, then took a sip of red wine and continued, "Let's talk business first. This mission was completed very well and everyone has worked hard. You can relax for a while these days."
Liao Honglei and Bai Chunyu looked at each other and nodded. They knew that although Deng Shentong seemed to be indifferent on the surface, he must have some doubts about the waiter in his heart.
But since the captain said so, they stopped dwelling on it and started discussing other topics.
The atmosphere in the box was harmonious and laughter was heard. However, no one noticed that in the dark corner outside the door, a pair of eyes were silently watching everything that happened inside.
Zhang Yi staggered into the workshop, and Lin Yue hurried forward to meet him.
Seeing Zhang Yi's grim expression, she couldn't help but feel worried and confused: "What happened? Didn't you go to see the idol you always admired? Why do you look so bad after you came back?"
Zhang Yi waved his hands weakly, as if trying to dispel the haze that shrouded his heart, but it was in vain.
He slowly lowered his head, not letting Lin Yue see the confusion and pain in his eyes. He replied in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."
However, only he himself knew that his heart was already in turmoil.
He thought too much. Deng Shentong has now become the extremely noble Ipsilon, and the pride of the entire Blizzard City.
Even if Zhang Yi mustered up the courage to tell everything about the past in person, who would believe him?
The people of Blizzard City would never believe that the hero in their eyes could have such a shameful past; Deng Shentong himself would not believe it either, and he would probably just regard Zhang Yi as a lunatic who had lost his mind and was talking nonsense.
Then ruthlessly kick him out of the room to prevent this lunatic from continuing to slander his reputation.
Even Zhang Yi himself felt that all this was too ridiculous, as if it were an absurd dream.
Those past events that once really happened now became so unreal and blurry that he could hardly distinguish the truth from the false.
At this moment, the bar owner walked in. He glanced at Zhang Yi and asked expressionlessly, "Are you working for Lin Yue now?"
Zhang Yi nodded and was about to say something to explain, but Lin Yue stepped forward and stood in front of him, showing a generous smile on her face and said, "Boss, I am indeed short of someone at the bar. I should be able to ask him to help."
"No problem, no problem. You are the gold medal bartender of our bar, so of course we have to meet your requirements." The boss said, stroking his chin, rolling his eyes, and then changed the subject: "But..."
When Lin Yue heard this, she immediately became alert. She stared at the boss and asked, "But what?"
"Xiao Lin, you know that I hired him mainly because of his good looks. I was thinking of making him a male model to attract some customers. If you just take him away like this, it will be difficult for me to make arrangements."
The boss sighed, rubbed his fingers, and hinted, "Besides, the salary of a male model is different from that of a handyman."
"I don't need so much salary." Zhang Yi's voice suddenly rang out. He felt that he couldn't always hide behind a woman and be protected by her.
Although he didn't care about the salary, he didn't want to make things difficult for Lin Yue.
"Is it your turn to speak?" The boss frowned and angrily scolded, "I don't care whether you want so much salary or not. My Password Bar is a good place where many people are scrambling to come and work!"
"It's ok that you don't know how to be grateful, but you dare to bargain with me here? Who do you think you are? Without Mr. Baili providing you with this opportunity, would you have such a good working environment and treatment now?"
He became angrier and angrier as he spoke, his voice getting louder and louder, and his saliva flying everywhere.
Zhang Yi suddenly had an urge to pull out the Holy Judgement and kill this annoying guy.
He was too lazy to argue with such people. Zhang Yi suppressed his murderous intent with difficulty and looked at the aggressive face: "What do you want me to do? No special services, this is my bottom line."
The boss wanted to say something, but when he looked at Zhang Yi's muscular body, he was afraid that he might get punched if he pushed him too far, so he could only reluctantly say, "It's okay if the attitude is a little worse, but some people like this type."
He looked Zhang Yi up and down critically: "You can help Lin Yue, but when there are not enough people at night, you have to serve and accompany the drinking. Do you understand?"
Lin Yue hurriedly tried to stop him, but Zhang Yi held her back: "Okay, I'll go."
Now, I am just an insignificant ant in this world full of power and status. Any attempt to challenge the rules is doomed to fail.
He understood this deeply, but deep down in his heart he felt a little unwilling.
Even a small bar owner can easily decide Zhang Yi's life or death with the power in his hands. As long as he is driven out of Area A, this once arrogant man will bow his head.
This feeling of powerlessness deeply hurt Zhang Yi's heart and made him realize his humble position in this world.
The cruelty of reality is like a ruthless hammer, hitting the spirit in the heart of this strong man who once stood at the top again and again.
The former glory and honor were gone, and his pride became worthless as he lost his supernatural powers. Now, he is just an ordinary person who cannot be more ordinary.
What made him feel even more painful was that he was so close to the person he loved, yet it seemed as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.
The gap between them was like the difference between heaven and earth, leaving him far behind.
The inner desire and inferiority complex intertwined with each other, like two powerful forces, constantly pulling him and making him sink deeply into the quagmire of pain.
"That's right."
Seeing that he agreed, the boss patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Work hard, I'm doing this for your own good. The tips from those noble people are enough for your living expenses for a month. What if someone takes a fancy to you? Then you won't have to worry about food and clothing!"
After the boss left, Lin Yue looked at Zhang Yi's clenched fists, wanting to say something but stopping herself, feeling a little guilty.
She had clearly promised to let this young man not have to do the work of pleasing customers, but now he still has to succumb to the tyranny of his boss.
However, Zhang Yi saw through her thoughts, smiled slightly and indicated that he was fine.
If he can't even handle a small bar owner now, then he has no chance of standing by Deng Shentong's side.
