Chapter 441 Her Deaf Boyfriend (25)
Chapter 441 Her Deaf Boyfriend (25)
During the summer vacation of his junior year, Xu Yanqing took a part-time job as a waiter at a business party on the recommendation of a senior student.
He doesn't have to run around carrying drinks, he just needs to pour them at the bar.
Xu Yanqing always felt subtly uneasy when facing such crowded occasions. He originally wanted to refuse the senior sister's kindness, but the reward was very generous.
Xu Yanqing went anyway for the money.
After changing into a well-fitting tuxedo, Xu Yanqing was assigned a job that required little technical skills.
Just standing at the bar and opening and pouring wine.
There was another person working at the same station as him. He seemed to be a professional bartender. He just stood there on the other side, mixing drinks, without saying anything.
Twelve musicians hid in the crowd and played soothing and elegant music together.
The orange and yellow lights were ambiguous, jewelry and fancy clothes became status chips, and one person was holding a glass of wine and chatting and laughing.
This was Xu Yanqing's first time attending such an upper-class dinner, and the extravagant temptation unfolded before his eyes like a scroll.
The air was filled with rich and complex fragrances, including the scent of flowers, wine, cakes, and the perfume of the guests.
As early as the beginning of the banquet and the kitchen training, Xu Yanqing heard that this was organized by a leading company in the film and television industry.
Originally, he was supposed to be an employee of the hotel, but something happened at home and he couldn't come, so his supervisor had to find him a part-time job in a hurry.
When Xu Yanqing was working, his supervisor was afraid that he would make mistakes, so he would go around the water bar from time to time to check.
Seeing that Xu Yanqing was efficient and honest, he felt relieved.
The only requirement Xu Yanqing had for pouring wine was that the amount in each cup must be the same, or at least it must look the same.
The dinner was quite busy at the beginning, with waiters coming over from time to time to put the wine glasses on the tray one by one and then leave.
Just as Xu Yanqing was immersed in pouring wine, a man suddenly approached the bar.
"Xu Yanqing!"
Xu Yanqing was startled and looked up. It was Qin Zhi.
Qin Zhi's face was filled with joy. He rested his elbows on the marble countertop and tapped it with his fingers. "Why are you here? Working part-time?"
He looked Xu Yanqing up and down at his work clothes and said, "You look quite respectable in this."
Xu Yanqing: “…”
Is this a compliment or a sarcasm?
"part time."
Since it was a dinner for the film and television industry, it was not surprising to meet Qin Zhi.
"There are a lot of celebrities tonight. They're very pleasing to the eyes, right?"
Xu Yanqing poured the glass of wine in his hand, placed it on the table, and looked up at his surroundings.
He doesn't know much about the entertainment industry. Even if he recognizes some celebrities' faces, he doesn't know their names.
Qin Zhi became interested and pointed at the people in the venue to show Xu Yanqing: "Those are all artists under our company. They are good-looking, right?"
Xu Yanqing nodded.
Seeing that Qin Zhi was chatting with him enthusiastically and had no intention of leaving, Xu Yanqing couldn't help but ask:
"Don't you need to socialize? This should be a good opportunity, right?"
Xu Yanqing was a little confused. This banquet couldn't possibly be just a simple occasion for eating, drinking and having fun, right?
Qin Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Yanqing for a few seconds: "You actually know all this?"
Xu Yanqing was speechless: "...I'm just poor, not stupid."
Qin Zhi was laughing so hard that he could hardly straighten his back. Xu Yanqing had no idea what he was laughing at and looked puzzled.
Xu Yanqing was just about to say that his presence was affecting his work when Qin Zhi stood up and said, "My dad is here, and my sister is back. He has no time to take care of me."
Xu Yanqing raised his head suddenly, his hand shook, and the wine instantly spilled onto his palm.
"What? Qin Zhen is back?"
My heart seemed to skip a beat.
"Yeah." Qin Zhi glanced at Xu Yanqing: "Why do you look so excited?"
“No, no…”
Qin Zhi frowned and stared at Xu Yanqing.
Xu Yanqing's heart beat faster and faster. He was afraid that Qin Zhi would notice something, so he picked up the rag beside him and wiped the wine that had leaked on the table.
"are you--"
Xu Yanqing swallowed unconsciously.
"Are you afraid of Qin Zhen?"
Xu Yanqing: “…”
He let out a long breath.
Fortunately, Qin Zhi is a fool.
"no......"
Qin Zhi shrugged: "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. I'm leaving first. If my dad sees me doing nothing, I'll get scolded again."
"it is good."
After Qin Zhi left, Xu Yanqing began to scan everyone in his field of vision with his peripheral vision, trying to find a familiar figure among them.
However, after looking around for several times, I couldn't find it.
"What are you looking at?"
The bartender next to him suddenly spoke up.
Xu Yanqing was startled and turned to look at the bartender.
He had stood next to Xu Yanqing at some point, opening the wine cabinet to get some wine.
"The people here are either rich or noble, so it's best not to look too much. If the supervisor sees you, be careful to deduct your money."
Xu Yanqing thanked the other party for the kind reminder.
After that he didn't dare to look any further.
But it was as if a stone was thrown into the lake of my heart, causing layer upon layer of ripples.
Xu Yanqing wanted to see her, but didn't dare to.
This feeling, similar to homesickness, is like the bite of ants, itchy and painful.
...
Seeing the table filled with beautiful crystal glasses filled with wine, Xu Yanqing said to the bartender, "Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom. I'll be back soon."
After the bartender nodded, Xu Yanqing found the side door along the wall in the corner and walked out.
When he came to the bathroom, Xu Yanqing turned on the faucet and took a handful of water to wash his face.
After becoming more sober, Xu Yanqing stood up and looked at himself in the mirror.
The light shone from top to bottom, on his brow arch, eyelashes and nose bridge, and the shadows in his eye sockets made him look a little strange.
A face that is not pretty enough and a body that is not strong enough.
After not seeing each other for two years, perhaps many things have changed.
Xu Yanqing sighed.
He took out a piece of paper and wiped his wet hair.
Hearing the noise coming from outside the corridor, Xu Yanqing tidied himself up and walked out of the bathroom.
Not far away, a man and a woman were talking.
Xu Yanqing took a look, then looked away and turned around to return to the venue.
"Anyway, thank you."
The familiar voice made Xu Yanqing turn around immediately.
Under the gorgeous crystal chandelier, the woman was wearing a purple silk long dress, with her long hair loosely tied behind her head, revealing a large area of back skin, and her two protruding shoulder blades were particularly sexy.
The smooth marble reflected her figure, and the movement of raising her hand revealed the diamond bracelet on her wrist.
It’s Qin Zhen.
Her back was facing Xu Yanqing, but Xu Yanqing recognized her at a glance.
Opposite Qin Zhen stood a strange man wearing a well-tailored black suit, talking to Qin Zhen with a smile on his face.
The environment and atmosphere make the two look particularly well-matched.
Xu Yanqing went unnoticed.
Soon, the two walked into the venue from the other end of the door.
Xu Yanqing watched the two figures disappear into the door for a long time, then turned and walked towards another door.
