Chapter 8

The work of the night attendant is much more challenging than Tang Yuan expected.There are many people and many things, and there are more emergencies, which refresh his understanding of the world almost every day.Coupled with the loud music and dim lights, he is also sensitive to the smell of cigarettes. His brain is numb after work every day, and he relies on muscle memory to ride home.

What's more difficult is that I don't get enough sleep. More than once, I was mistaken by my classmates for playing games all night, which is why I have such heavy dark circles.

His professional grades are also on the red light all the way, and the midterm scores of several courses are barely above the passing line. If he can't get it back at the end of the semester, the average of the points deducted from the quiz he missed before is hard to guarantee that he won't fail the subject.

But he couldn't stop running around to work every day, for fear that a little slack would cause the bank's already appalling balance to bottom out.

Seeing that Tang Yuanlin was still reading a book 5 minutes before going to work, Manager Liu thought for a moment calmly, and seeing that there was no one beside him, he straightened his clothes and went up to talk to him.

"So hardworking, college student."

Hearing the sound, Tang Yuan raised his head and saw that it was Manager Liu coming over. He thought he was being urged to go to work, so he quickly closed the book and wanted to slip away, "Manager, I'm going to assemble right now."

"Come back, don't worry, it's not too late." Manager Liu stopped him and pointed to Tang Yuan's hand, "Is it time for an exam? I see you holding books every day."

Tang Yuan said honestly: "The exam is over, and the exam is average."

After finishing speaking, I was a little embarrassed, hugged the book to my chest and added: "Read more, and try to do better in the next exam."

"That's it." Manager Liu showed pity, patted Tang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Earn the money, don't delay your studies."

Tang Yuan hummed and prepared to go in for work.

"I never asked you," Manager Liu said again, with a caring tone, "You said that you are a student and the cost is not high, so why do you have a job during the day and a job at night? Is there any difficulty? "

Tang Yuan thought for a while, and summed it up briefly in one sentence: "The family needs money."

"Oh." Manager Liu dragged the end of his voice, suddenly realizing it.

Tang Yuan smiled, and dismissed the topic.What he has seen most since he was a child is the sympathetic eyes of others, and he has long been used to it, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable.It's just that if it's not necessary, he won't take the initiative to tell others about himself, in exchange for sympathy.

"Tang Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so difficult." Manager Liu sighed, "You are short of money, and it's not like we don't have a way to get money, but if you don't want to do some things, I won't advise you."

Tang Yuan knew what Manager Liu was referring to by "something". It was the job he met those two smoking boys at the door on the day he came to apply for the job.

On the first day he went to work, he saw one of them in the private room, wearing an exaggeratedly designed shirt and tight suit pants, playing dice with a table of female guests. Self-drying fine wine.He also met another who vomited and drank alcohol in the bathroom, and then came out to wash his hands in the mirror and tidy his hair as if nothing had happened.

"Well, since you are a student and still need to help the family, I will set a precedent for you." Manager Liu kept observing Tang Yuan's reaction, "Although you are only a waiter, you can also sell wine if you want. How about giving you a commission like a princess, so that you can earn some pocket money?"

Tang Yuan's almond eyes widened, obviously surprised.Tang Yuan has already experienced how expensive wine is sold in this place. He heard that even if it is a middle-grade red wine, the price of a bottle is enough for him to work in the restaurant for two afternoons without touching his feet.

There are no words to express his gratitude. Tang Yuan thanked him for a long time, promised that he would work hard, and went to work happily.

"White Moonlight" was full of guests as usual, and the sound of ringing the service bell in each private room was endless. Tang Yuan went in and out of one room after another, almost breaking his leg.He has been paying attention to whether there is any private room that needs wine, but unfortunately most of the guests are being greeted and hugged, and it is not his turn to intervene. After finally working up the courage to ask a few tables of male guests, they were all dismissed with a wave of their hands.

Being at a loss for tonight's performance, Tang Yuan was called by the foreman to serve the guests in No. 302, saying that the downstairs was too busy.Hastily adjusted the bow tie, stood at the door and knocked a few times before pushing it in as usual.

There were only four female customers in the private room, and there was no one to accompany them. Judging by their clothes and temperament, they should be the girlfriends of urban female elites. There was a table full of empty wine bottles, and they were all half drunk.

"Waiter, help me change the mic, both of them are out of battery." A short-haired woman closest to the jukebox waved at him, her demeanor was very lazy, but her voice was very charming.

Seeing that the KTV was playing the accompaniment, Tang Yuan quickly stepped forward and bowed to apologize: "Excuse me, ma'am, I will change it for you right away."

As he spoke, he went to open the cabinet in the corner, took out two spare mics, turned on the switch and patted it, and fed it again, and handed it to the short-haired woman after confirming that it could be used normally.

The short-haired woman took the mic and whispered into the microphone, "Thank you, handsome guy."

The three people in the same group laughed together, and another woman who took the mic removed the short-haired station: "How many little brothers have you molested in one night?"

The short-haired woman blinked, and falsely denied: "No, it's just this one, she's very specific."

Knowing that she was joking, Tang Yuan lowered his head to collect the two dead mics, saw a sliced ​​but unmoved cake on the coffee table, and raised his head to remind them: "Which lady's birthday is today? You can send a birthday fruit plate."

The closest to Tang Yuan, a woman in a long black dress said with a bit of drunkenness: "It's not a birthday, it's a celebration of my leaving a dog man."

Tang Yuan froze for a moment, regretting that he shouldn't talk too much.It turned out that they invited friends here to drink away their sorrows because they were broken in love.

Suddenly his little brain moved, and the words slipped out of his mouth without knowing why: "Ma'am, would you like to open a bottle of wine?"

The woman in the black dress saw full of expectation from Tang Yuan's eyes, looked at his waiter's uniform from top to bottom, and asked curiously, "Do you get a commission for my drink?"

Tang Yuan saw through his intentions, he was a little embarrassed, and admitted in a low voice: "Yes."

The black skirt showed embarrassment on purpose, and teased him: "But it's too boring for us girls to drink alone."

The one with the short hair sang the song "Bubble" out of tune and forgot the words. He couldn't bear it, so he gave up the microphone to another companion, and came over to listen to what the black skirt was talking to the little waiter, and he just heard it.

Tang Yuan thought that the guest in the black dress was refusing, so he let out a disappointment.

This woman was very drunk, so bad that you were in tears, the short-haired woman saw the opportunity and immediately said: "Little handsome guy, why don't we order your wine, and you have a drink with us?"

"I don't know how to drink." Tang Yuan blurted out reflexively. After speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate. He scratched the back of his head and asked, "How about I call someone who can drink for you?"

"Whoever drinks with us, we can order their wine." Before the black skirt had time to express his opinion, the short-haired one snatched the words, and said persuasively, "Just have a drink and make up your mind."

You can get money after drinking a glass of wine, which is really tempting for a person like Tang Yuan who is young and short of money.

If he can sell a few more bottles of wine, maybe he can take a few days off before the final exam to study hard and get through the semester's class.

Or you can save it and pay off the mortgage before Xiao Yezi becomes an adult.

Or go to the supermarket to buy more ingredients, and invite the classmates who borrowed him to review the materials to have a hot pot meal at home.

In short, money can solve many problems and relieve many troubles for a person like him who has no money.

He gritted his teeth and agreed.

He didn't realize at all that these beautiful big sisters with outstanding temperament were going crazy with alcohol, classified him into the same category as a "dog man", and used him as a punching bag to vent their emotions.

Tang Yuan is simple and soft-tempered. He was coaxed and deceived by several people, threatened and lured, and poured down several shots of high-quality foreign wine. Started to feel dizzy and nauseous.

In the end, I got the commission for selling wine, and I also vomited in the toilet, squatting for a long time without getting up, and the door was not closed.Later, he was helped by a male guest in a private room and said a lot of words to him. He vomited with ringing in his ears, and his sanity was not clear, so he could only say thank you to him.

Manager Liu gave him a bottle of hangover medicine, told him to "take it easy" and went on his way.Tang Yuan took the medicine down to feel better, and he spent the rest of the time at work. Fortunately, the peak period has passed, and the foreman just asked him to push the cart to collect the empty wine bottles in the private room.

At around twelve o'clock at night, when Sang Qing came out of the shower, he saw two missed calls from lawyer Chen Rui.

The Sang Group and Chen Rui's law firm are in a cooperative relationship. The two of them are also acquaintances in private. Sometimes Chen Rui will call him in the middle of the night to discuss various legal issues of the company.

Sang Qingshi wiped her hair with one hand and called back with the other. The first time she rang a few times, she was hung up, and Chen Rui called back a few minutes later.

"Hey, Sang Qingshi, are you asleep?"

"Just about to sleep, what's the matter?" Sang Qingshi put the phone on the bedside and turned it on, plugged in a bluetooth headset and was about to talk to Chen Rui about business.

"The kid who just came to your family, have you contacted his uncle recently?"

"You mean Tang Yuan?" The headset couldn't connect for some reason, Sang Qingshi simply turned it off, took the phone to his ear and turned it off, "I haven't contacted you this week, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Chen Rui was actually very hesitant, he was not sure whether Sang Qingshi would like to take care of this person, if he didn't want to take care of this person, he would appear to be meddlesome.But he always felt guilty to Tang Yuan for fighting for the custody of Sang Ye for Sang Qingshi.

On the other end of the phone, Sang Qing frowned, "It's nothing, you called me and asked him what he was doing?"

"Aren't I drinking with a client in a nightclub today? I met him here too. He was so drunk that he didn't respond to his screams. I guess he didn't even recognize who I was."

Sang Qingshi didn't even notice himself. Ever since Chen Rui mentioned Tang Yuan, he had been pacing back and forth in the room, but stopped suddenly when he heard the footsteps.

"I think he is wearing the clothes of a waiter, so he should work there. Hey, I don't think there is anyone else at home, so I came to ask you." Chen Rui didn't respond when he saw Sang Qing for a long time, knowing that he didn't want to care I didn't say any more, and said with some regret: "This child is so pitiful, it's a pity to go astray again."
