The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine: Chapter 9 fight
"Manager, there is a part-time job seeker here, who said we only recruit full-time jobs and will not leave, you see..."
The KTV manager came out of the private room, glanced up and down, and saw that it was a girl in ordinary clothes, so he didn't take it seriously.
"If you have to find me for anything big, just send it away."
The foreman understood, and motioned to the two waiters to come forward to pull people. Before they could move, Jian Changnian took a bold step forward.
In the hallway where the lights were feasting and the music was deafening, she raised her voice: "I can do anything, please, give me a chance!"
The girl's voice was very immature, but her eyes were extremely firm. She glanced over suddenly. Her skin was very fair, her eyes were bright, and she was a bit pretty.
The manager was startled: "We have to work the night shift here..."
Jian Changnian nodded desperately: "I can stay up all night!"
"I want to drink with the guests."
"I can't drink, but I can learn."
The manager raised the corner of his lips slightly: "It's interesting, how old is it?"
Jian Changnian paused for a moment and said, "Seventeen."
"What is your name?"
Jian Changnian showed a relieved smile.
"Jian Changnian."
"Okay, give her a set of overalls, and follow you first." The manager pointed to the foreman.
"Ah, me?" The foreman was a little confused and was talking, because it was the weekend after the opening, and many customers came in the corridor.
The manager patted him on the head, a little impatiently: "What are you talking about, didn't you say that there is a lack of people in the box? I've given it to you, hurry up and go to work for me."
Jian Changnian changed into her work clothes and came out. The foreman first took her to get acquainted with the internal situation of the KTV, and at the same time gave her a drink list, talking while walking.
"Do you know how to order?"
Jane Chang thought for a while, then shook her head.
It is troublesome to teach people without work experience.
The foreman complained in his heart, but he still spoke patiently.
"If there are men in the same industry, give them to men first, and if there are more women, observe their attire more, and give it to the one who looks the richest and has the right to speak, first ask about the hobbies of the customers, and then sell our most expensive one Foreign wine. Let me tell you, the wages are divided into basic salary plus commission, the more wine sold, the more money you get..."
He spoke clearly and logically, but Jian Changnian's gaze stayed on the wine list.
The head waiter got a little impatient, and snatched the drink list over with his hands: "I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
"I heard you, you said that the male customers will be given first, and the ladies' ones will be given to the one who seems to have the most money..."
Before Jian Changnian finished speaking, the walkie-talkie on the foreman's chest rang.
"Foreman, the No. 3 bag is here. I'm so busy here that I can't make it through..."
"Okay, I see. Let's open the table for the guests first, and I'll be there right away."
The foreman turned off the intercom: "Come on, come with me."
It was the first time for Jian Changnian to come to a place like KTV. As soon as he entered the door, he was blinded by the lights in the box, and the music was deafening.
The foreman was talking to the guests at the top of his voice: "Mr. Liu, what would you like to drink?"
The Mr. Liu he was talking about was hugging two beauties in cool clothes on the left and right, and he didn't care about him at all.
"Just the red wine I drank last time..."
The beautiful woman in his arms patted him on the shoulder, pinched her throat and said coquettishly, "I don't want to drink red wine today, but foreign ones."
Mr. Liu was fluttered by the wind blowing on the pillow: "Okay, okay, foreign wine, foreign wine, how much is your most expensive foreign wine?"
I don't know if the head of the night shift was a little confused, or the foreman got stuck for a moment because he was shocked by the sound of the music.
This is the wine list that was adjusted just yesterday.
Jian Changnian took it easy: "Mr. Liu, our most expensive foreign wine is Louis XIII, 23888."
Good guy, hearing this price, Mr. Liu finally stepped back into the world with one foot.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, the foreman was a good person, so he immediately put on a smile.
"But we've just opened here, so we'll give you a 20% discount and give you a fruit plate of snacks."
The beauty on the side was not happy anymore, she grabbed his arm and pouted: "Mr. Liu..."
"Okay, okay, that's all." Mr. Liu waved his hand, and Jian Changnian completed his first order.
When she got out of the box door, the foreman patted her on the shoulder: "Okay you, when did you remember?"
Jian Changnian smiled: "Just when you were talking to me."
***
Cheng Zhen's house is located in the wealthy area of Jiangcheng City. It is a single-family villa with a garden. His father went on a business trip today, and it was his birthday. Live by yourself.
Cheng Zhen was also idle, so he invited a large group of friends to come to the house to eat, drink and have fun. A group of people were having fun until dark, and seeing that they bought more wine, it seemed that they would not return home drunk.
Xie Shi'an threw the melon seeds in his hand: "Come on, you guys drink, Yuchu and I will go back first."
Cheng Zhen pulled him back: "Hey, don't go, I'm about to play a game, come on! Come on!"
Xie Shi'an was unmoved, Qiao Yuchu asked one more question: "What game?"
Seeing that La Xie Shi'an was not moving, Cheng Zhen pushed her over.
"It's fun. Someone must be afraid of losing, so forget it if you don't come, let's play."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shi'an pulled him away and squeezed into the middle of the two.
"Joke, when it comes to playing games, when did you beat me since you were young?"
"Okay, okay, let me talk about the rules of the game first. I will turn on the timer on the phone and set it to 30 seconds. During these 30 seconds, one person will ask questions first, and then hand the phone to the person who needs to answer the question. If he doesn't answer or the time is up, he will be punished for truth or dare, how about it, dare to play?"
Xie Shi'an sneered, and took the lead to sit down.
"What are you afraid of, come on."
Qiao Yuchu also took a seat beside her: "The person who asked the question first must have taken advantage of it, after all, there is plenty of time."
Cheng Zhen scratched his head and thought for a while: "That's right, then let's guess who will ask the first question."
Another friend of Cheng Zhen winked and smiled: "Any questions are fine, right?"
That primary school girl who was rescued by Cheng Zhen in the gymnasium was also there. Cheng Zhen took a look at her and rushed to Long Claw to scratch his friend.
"What are you talking about! Do you understand the serious question!"
"Alright, let's guess the punch."
"rock-paper-scissors!"
The final winner after the round turned out to be Xie Shi'an. She smiled, pressed the timer, and watched the numbers go backwards quickly, but she was not in a hurry to ask questions.
On the contrary, Cheng Zhen was dying in a hurry, who made him sit the furthest away from Xie Shi'an.
"Quickly ask! What are you doing in a daze?!"
"It's not stipulated to ask questions immediately." Xie Shi'an spread his hands, and waited for half of the time to pass the phone to Qiao Yuchu next to him.
"When the first Olympic Games will be held."
This question is too easy for athletes, Qiao Yu smiled from ear to ear.
"April 6, 1896."
Cheng Zhen shouted angrily: "Wow, you guys are cheating!"
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yuchu threw the phone over.
"Orange juice, suddenly realized, guess an anime character."
Cheng Zhen: "???"
Before he could rack his brains, the time had come.
The crowd booed unanimously.
"Tell me, truth or dare?"
"Let's be honest." In front of this gang of hurtful people, he didn't dare to take any big risks, and if he was not sure, he would be asked to do something that was both silly and out of the ordinary.
It was still Qiao Yuchu's question, and Cheng Zhen almost knelt down: "Sister, sister, please be merciful."
"What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done since you were a kid?"
After several rounds of games, everyone took extra care of the birthday boy. From top to bottom, from inside to outside, even the color of his underwear was stripped clean.
Xie Shi'an thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the answer to Qiao Yuchu's riddle just now, so he took a moment to ask quietly.
"What was that riddle just now?"
Qiao Yuchu motioned her to come closer, and whispered.
"Ultraman, because... oh~ it's so slow!"
Xie Shi'an couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
Unexpectedly, the phone flew towards her in the next second.
Cheng Zhen deliberately took advantage of the opportunity to fix her, stood up and shouted: "Shi'an, is the person you like here?!"
Xie Shi'an was a little dizzy from this question, and everyone else turned their gossiping eyes on her.
Qiao Yuchu poked her arm: "Hurry up, the time is coming."
The two of them still kept the close distance just now, Xie Shi'an's right hand was still resting on her shoulder, and Qiao Yuchu's hair fell down, scratching the back of her hand a little itchy.
The two looked at each other, Qiao Yuchu's eyes were full of curiosity, but Xie Shi'an lowered his eyes and his eyelashes flickered.
"I…"
Before she could stammer the words, the alarm clock rang and the timer ended.
Xie Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief, his palms were covered with sweat.
"I choose Big Adventure."
Her punishment was to blow down a bottle of beer in one go.
Xie Shi'an pulled the ring of the can, and Qiao Yuchu held her back with some concern.
"No, we can't drink drinks outside..."
Xie Shi'an smiled: "It's okay, it's just opened, and there's no competition recently, just one bottle."
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and drank it. She drank a bottle of beer, which quenched the temperature of her body and took away those unrealistic thoughts.
Xie Shi'an was playing a game in this room, but Jian Changnian did not expect to see Yuanyuan here.
She just put the wine on the table: "Sir, the wine you want."
Sensing that someone was looking at her, Jian Changnian raised her head and met Yuanyuan, who was smiling but not smiling.
"Hey, isn't this our student master, a big badminton star? Why did he become a KTV waiter?"
"Why, do you know each other?" The young man sitting next to her and hugging her was curious when he heard this, and asked one more question.
Yuanyuan leaned over with an aggrieved face, and whispered something in the man's ear. The music in the box was too loud, and Jian Chang couldn't hear clearly.
It's really a narrow road for enemies.
Jian Changnian didn't want to cause trouble, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.
"Sir, ma'am, the wine has been delivered, please ring the bell if you need anything."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man suddenly sat up straight, raised his hand to pinch her chin, and forced Jian Changnian to look at him.
"You, stay and drink with us."
He reeked of alcohol and had a smug smile.
Jian Changnian was frightened and blushed, subconsciously dodged back and slapped his hand off.
"Sir, please respect yourself! The wine has been delivered, I should go back to work, and there are other guests waiting!"
"Yo, I'm quite angry—" The man leaned back on the sofa and looked up at her foreman.
"I want her to drink with me today, is that okay?"
"Master Qin..." The foreman looked at Jian Changnian, then at him, and could only laugh along with him.
"Understand, we are really busy today, another day, another day, we will have a drink with you again."
The Mr. Qin in his mouth waved his hand, indicating that he can go away: "Go and do your work, and she can stay. Don't forget, as long as I say a word, it is not certain that your KTV will not be able to continue."
Although this Mr. Qin is a local ruffian, but because his family is rich and powerful, and his father is an official, he is very domineering. If he offends him, there is probably no good fruit to eat, and it is not worthwhile to implicate himself for a newcomer.
"The foreman..." Jian Changnian grabbed the corner of his clothes and pleaded with his eyes.
She also knows that those who can consume here are either rich or expensive, but she is alone and helpless now, who knows what will happen if she stays here again, so she has to ask for help from the foreman who seems to be treating her well.
The foreman made some calculations in his mind, pushed away Jian Changnian's hand, and continued to smile.
"Okay, okay, then Mr. Qin, you have fun, and I won't disturb your pleasure."
After walking out of the box door, a girl's scream came from the room, accompanied by the sound of glassware being broken.
The foreman's heart tightened, he paced back and forth for two steps, gritted his teeth and called the manager.
"Hey, manager, it's not good..."
When the manager came over, the box was already in a mess. Jian Changnian held a broken beer bottle in his hand, trembling all over, and his eyes were red.
On the other hand, Mr. Qin, his clothes were mostly wet, and there was still a wound on his forehead oozing blood.
The people in the room surrounded Jian Changnian, Mr. Qin licked the wine stains on his lips, and stared at her intently.
"Manager, she beat up the customer, what should you do?"
Jian Changnian's hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold the beer bottle, and there was a hint of crying in his voice, "No, he...he touched me..."
Yuanyuan immediately retorted loudly: "Who saw it? Who saw it? I didn't see it. I just saw you hitting someone with a beer bottle."
Several other roommates of Jian Changnian were also present at the party, and they also echoed.
"That's right, the waiter is just serving tea and water. If you ask you to pour a drink, you will beat someone. What kind of waiter are you?"
"Manager, your people beat me today, and this matter is endless." Mr. Qin patted his shoulder, and said in a strange way.
If the foreman is a good person, then the manager is a thousand-year-old vixen. Looking at this scene, he can easily recall it. If he can't satisfy Mr. Qin today, he will be the one who is unlucky, and it's still the same. In a word, for the sake of a newcomer, it's not worth it.
"Yes, yes, this is a newcomer today, a part-time job, who doesn't understand the rules, so I just drive it..."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to light a cigarette for Mr. Qin.
"It's just that we are a business place after all, and there are many people. I am also a small business. Look..."
Mr. Qin took the cigarette and took a few puffs.
"Understood, brothers, bring someone with you, let's change places to play."
Jian Changnian struggled, but was still supported by several tall men, one on the left and one on the right. Yuanyuan stepped forward and slapped her hard.
"Bitch, no matter how arrogant you are, you used to push me like that."
Jian Changnian was slapped to the side. Her eardrums were buzzing with the slap, and the right half of her face immediately swelled up.
She was dazed for a moment, and then she was dragged out.
No matter how much she cried and struggled, none of the onlookers came forward to give her a hand, and the foreman silently turned his back.
Until she was dragged out the door and fell on the pavement.
"Bitch, let you hit me, let you hit me, don't you just touch me? What can I do if you touch me, huh?"
After leaving the KTV gate, there was no one on the street in the early morning, and Mr. Qin became more and more unscrupulous, punching and kicking her.
Jian Changnian could only hold his head with his hands, trying not to make any whimpering sounds.
Yuanyuan was taking photos with her mobile phone and fanning the flames from time to time: "Wow, look at her, she is crying, brother, help me teach her a lesson, she doesn't look down on us in the dormitory, and often beats me , bullying me!"
"You dare to touch my people!" Mr. Qin kicked again, Jian Changnian rolled out, fell off the sidewalk, and hit his head heavily on the ground.
"I heard that you still play badminton. It's a coincidence. I've been playing professionally for several years. You're a waste who still wants to be a professional player..."
Mr. Qin stepped on her hand and rubbed it hard with the toe of his leather shoe.
Jian Changnian couldn't bear it anymore, and finally let out the first painful cry.
A bicycle stopped across the street, and two people who had just partyed were heading home.
Qiao Yuchu put one leg on the ground, looked through the green belt, and saw seven or eight men and women surrounding a man who was kicking and kicking.
The person who was beaten looked like a girl.
Xie Shi'an in the back seat also jumped down.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone is fighting, let's go and have a look."
Qiao Yuchu was a little anxious. He stopped the car and wanted to cross the road. He could clearly see that the person who was beaten had no strength to get up.
Xie Shi'an grabbed her and said, "Hey, don't, there are many people on the other side, so let's call the police."
That's right, they were only two girls, and Xie Shi'an drank alcohol today, so it would be safer to call the police for his own safety.
Qiao Yu thought about it for a while, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, dialed 110, and waited until a police siren sounded in the distance before the two left again.
"Police, what are you doing! Get up, don't run!" The police car from the police station arrived, and arrested several young people who wanted to run when they heard the sirens.
The leading police officer helped Jian Changnian who had fallen to the ground: "Are you all right?"
Although Jian Changnian had a bruised nose and swollen face, she was still conscious, so she shook her head slightly.
"Captain Chen, the leader has been caught, it's him."
As soon as Officer Chen raised his head, he met the person's eyes.
Mr. Qin grinned: "Officer Chen, long time no see."
"Why is it you again!" Officer Chen cursed inwardly. There are too many people here, so he waved his hand.
"Take them all back to the facility."
***
In the small interrogation room, only she and Police Officer Chen were sitting, separated by a table, and the white light was dazzling.
It was the first time for Jian Changnian to enter the police station when she was so old. She was a little scared, and her head hurt, so she kept her head down and said nothing, silently picking the barbs under her fingernails.
Officer Chen who was in charge of interrogating her was very patient.
"I see you are still a student? Why do you go to such a place in the middle of the night to play?"
Seeing that she still didn't speak, Officer Chen softened his tone and pushed her a glass of warm water.
"Don't worry, no one in the police station will beat you again, you are safe now."
Only then did Jian Changnian cautiously look up at him, and muttered, "I...I'm not going to play...I work part-time at KTV..."
Police Officer Chen said "Oh", and wrote on the paper with a pen: "Part-time job... Then how old are you? What's your name? Where is your home? Parents call and tell me."
"I..." Jian Changnian choked for a moment, and wanted to say Seventeen, but under the sharp eyes of the police, he said it honestly.
"Fifteen, my name is...Jian Changnian."
Officer Chen wrote a few more strokes.
"Home address, parents' phone number."
Upon hearing this, Jian Changnian burst into tears.
"Please...please...don't call my home."
Police officer Chen put down his pen and spoke sternly.
"That's not allowed. You are still a minor, and you are involved in fights. Even if you want to mediate, you have to have a guardian present."
With tears still streaming down her face, Jian Changnian argued with her eyes wide open.
"No... they bullied me..."
Officer Chen held out Yuanyuan's cell phone.
"There is a video at the scene showing that you were the first to hit someone on the head with a beer bottle. Since both parties started fighting, it's a fight. If you don't agree to the mediation, you can only be detained together."
Hearing this, Jian Chang stabbed and even tore off a piece of skin from the barb on her hand, she shed tears even harder, almost choked up.
Officer Chen got up and handed over a piece of paper, expressing emotion and understanding.
"Look, you're still in school. It's disgraceful to memorize a case. It will also affect your job hunting in the future. If you're a girl, it might be hard to find your husband's family in the future."
"Today's incident, in the final analysis, is that I drank too much alcohol and became confused. I will ask them to apologize to you, and it will be over. If you have any other demands, you can also pay some money. There is no reason to do that. Do something, memorize the record, and you will suffer if you are detained for a few days."
Jian Chang couldn't understand why she was the victim, but she was asked to be magnanimous and forgive those who hurt her.
But she didn't know whether what Officer Chen said was true or not. Facing the complicated society, she was just an inexperienced minor.
The night was so long and so cold, Jian Changnian felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She trembled and said, "Officer, I... I agree to mediate, but... can I not notify my family?"
Officer Chen shook his head: "That won't work, it's a procedure, we can't let you go without parents coming to pick you up."
Jian Changnian was helpless, she thought for a while, tears splashed on her knees, and it took a long time before she raised her head, with teary eyes.
"Then... Officer, can I borrow your cell phone?"
Officer Chen handed over his mobile phone.
Jian Changnian pressed the number in memory, and the call was quickly connected. She said with a hint of tears: "Hello..."
