Chapter 47: Moving again
I had just finished singing and was still lost in the artistic conception of the song when a burst of applause suddenly came from the side.
I was shocked. I didn't expect someone to enter the bar without me noticing.
When I turned around to see who it was, I opened my mouth in shock. It was Mu Xichun! She was sitting on a high stool in front of the bar, looking at me with an appreciative expression.
Applause.
In my opinion, a woman like her would never appear in a place like a bar, not to mention it was at such an inappropriate time.
"Why are you here?" I dropped my guitar and came to her and asked involuntarily.
"What? Do I need a reason to come to the bar to spend money?" Mu Xichun sat on the chair with a faint smile on his face.
"No...no, I mean, what do you want from me?" Only one would believe that she came to the bar just for consumption!
"Didn't I say, I'm here to consume, aren't you the manager of this bar? Give me a glass of freshly squeezed juice!" After saying that, he put his chin in his hands and looked at me with a contented expression.
I was a little confused, she really looked like she was here for consumption, but based on my understanding of her, God knows what bad thoughts she was harboring in her heart! But since she didn't want to express her intention, I didn't bother to ask again.
Just when I was about to go into the bar to squeeze juice for her, I suddenly realized that I had overlooked a very important issue. This surprise was really not trivial.
"You...why am I the manager of this bar?" I was almost incoherent.
"You are my assistant, shouldn't I know something about you?" My frightened expression seemed to satisfy her, and she said with a smile.
I suddenly became speechless. According to common sense, as an assistant to the president of a well-known large company, everything about me, even my personal life, should be completely transparent to the company, because this is a necessary personnel assessment for my position.
But I couldn't believe it to say that Mu Xichun would be interested in my personal life. I didn't expect that she actually knew that I was the bar manager. How could this not surprise me?
You must know that the company has express regulations that employees are not allowed to have any form of part-time work outside.
The reason why I wanted to do this job in the first place was completely forced by Mu Xichun, and I'm sure that as long as I can pay back the money as soon as possible, she won't care what I do outside.
But if she intends to use this matter to fill my shoes, I believe she will be happy.
While I was squeezing orange juice for her, I was thinking about how she should deal with me this time.
"What's the name of that song just now? It's quite nice!" Mu Xichun asked, stretching his head and looking at my juice-squeezing action.
"ah?"
Since my mind and her question were not on the same frequency at all, my brain circuit couldn't keep up for a while. The juice splashed on my hand, and I hurriedly wiped it with a rag.
But who would have expected that the rag was pushed too hard and a glass was brought to the ground. Fortunately, the floor was a good wooden floor and the glass was not broken. Even so, it still made me feel embarrassed.
Seeing my embarrassment, Mu Xichun pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Manager Wei, it seems that you are not good at business. Even a glass of juice can make you panic like this!"
I put the juice heavily in front of her and said angrily: "Don't you know, I am the manager, does the manager need to do such a thing?"
"I just asked
What about you, what's the name of that song you sing? Why have I never heard it before!" Mu Xichun said after taking a sip of juice.
"Of course you haven't heard it! Don't say you haven't heard it before, you are the only one in the world who has heard it! What do you think? Do you feel honored?" I teased.
"You mean you composed this song?" Mu Xichun asked with a questioning expression.
"What? Don't believe it?"
"Oh, I can't tell you have talent in this area. It's really rare! What's the name of the song?" She looked very interested.
"Hey, let me tell you, what's the matter with you here? Don't talk nonsense, okay! I know it's against company discipline for me to work part-time outside, but you should know why I'm doing this. If you want to
I’m taking this opportunity to avenge my personal vendetta, so you might as well just say whatever you want!”
I really couldn't stand the way she cut things without getting to the point anymore. It made me feel like I was being played with by her like a monkey. Instead of doing this, it would be better for me to pierce the paper first.
Seeing me saying this, Mu Xichun also put down the juice and said with a serious look:
"So I am this kind of person in your mind? In this case, I might as well say it straight. I just hope you can pay back the money as soon as possible and leave. As for you violating the regulations and taking jobs privately, I don't bother to care about you. But I have recently
I heard that you don’t even have a place to live, which makes me sad..."
"This is my personal problem. You are taking too much care of me! Who said I don't have a place to live? The place I live in is much bigger than the place you live in!" I interrupted her.
"Really? Is the warehouse at the back that big? Don't get me wrong. I don't sympathize with you. It's just that you are Hongji's assistant to the president. Your work status is very important. If there are any mistakes in your work and the company suffers losses,
I'm afraid you can't afford this responsibility."
Mu Xichun looked serious.
"Then what do you want?" I asked.
"You have two choices. One is to find a place to live with someone else to ensure your normal work and rest. The other is to quit your bar job and then find a place to live with someone else. In fact, I have only one purpose. I don't want you to
I’m not in the mood for work every day.”
"I think you are worrying too much. The place I live in is very good and there is no need to find another place."
"Really? Then take me to see it. If I think it's okay, you don't need to change places!"
"I said, you stinky girl, don't go too far!" I couldn't bear it anymore. What the hell was this choice? It was just an idea to torment me.
"Lead the way!" Mu Xichun ignored my words and said in an unquestionable tone.
I stared at her without moving, and she looked at me without any sign of weakness. Unlike me who was furious, she looked calm and composed. After staring at each other for a few seconds, I finally got discouraged and simply didn't bother to confront her.
If she wants to see it, let her see it, then turn around and walk towards the warehouse.
"This is your big house? It's really big enough, and it seems to be very warm!" Mu Xichun walked to the warehouse in the warehouse and lowered his head in front of the floor that I hadn't yet had time to clean up.
"I'm happy to sleep on the floor, do you care?" I said harshly. The fact is that I was already sweating profusely just two minutes after I came in. What I said made me feel a bit coercive.
Mu Xichun turned around and glanced at me with disdain and said, "Stop talking nonsense, which one do you choose between the two options?"
"..."
"I have already given you a chance. If you insist on persisting, I will have to deal with business!"
"What about business matters?"
"Violating company regulations and showing no remorse will result in expulsion. Due to the issue of your debt,
If you are unable to repay, we will still handle it according to our original agreement!"
"you……"
I was speechless for a moment, and unexpectedly she mentioned the original agreement, that if I left the company before paying off the debt, she would fire Li Liangyi as well.
Although this verbal agreement has no legal effect, it is like a tight spell to me. Although I am angry, I know that I can't escape.
"I...I have no money. If you must let me rent a house again, then you will have to leave me some salary every month, otherwise I won't even be able to pay the rent!"
Since I couldn't get rid of it, I had no choice but to take the opportunity to raise conditions. She was the one who started this matter, so if she didn't satisfy me, I would have a reason to shirk it.
"This is not a problem. I have already rented the house for you, and I have already paid the rent. However, the rent will naturally be charged to you. I will deduct it from your salary every month, and the rest will be considered
It is you who will repay my debt until it is paid off."
"It seems that everything is in your calculation, but I can tell you that my salary is limited. If the rent is too expensive, I can't live there! Otherwise, when will my debt be paid off?" I was still struggling.
.
"Of course, pack your things and follow me now!"
"Now? There's no need to be in such a hurry. You have to give me time to pack it!" I simply doubted my ears. This woman was too easy-going to do things.
Mu Xichun glanced around and said, "You only need to bring daily necessities and clothes. You don't need other things?"
Listening to her determined tone, I understood that it would be impossible for the family to move today, so I sighed and said, "Okay! Since you don't mind the heat, just wait!"
Mu Xichun stopped talking, walked aside and took out her cell phone, not knowing who to call.
Things were quickly packed away, and Mu Xichun also finished making phone calls. Seeing that I had packed everything, she walked to the car outside before me.
After I put the suitcases in the car and got into the car, Mu Xichun drove out of the parking lot without saying a word. I didn't bother to ask her where her house was, so I just lay on the passenger seat, feeling a little sorry for those few things I had.
Bought second-hand furniture.
As the car passed Hubin Road, I couldn't help but think of the first time I met Mu Xichun. Looking at my current situation, I couldn't help but think of an old saying that wasn't quite appropriate: One mistake can lead to eternal regret.
If I hadn't met her that day, where would I be now?
If I hadn't met her, I wouldn't have crashed her car. If I hadn't crashed her car, I wouldn't have owed her money. If nothing else happened, I would have been fired by her because of my work performance, and naturally I wouldn't have known Shitou Geng.
He will no longer contribute money to help his mother open a shop.
If that were the case, where would I be in this city right now? What were I doing? But I can be sure that no matter what, I would never fall into this situation. It's a pity that time cannot be turned back, and regrets are in vain.
.
"Do you remember that flower seller?" Mu Xichun said suddenly just as I was wandering around in my mind about another possible life.
It turns out that this situation also evoked her memory, but we were not thinking about the same theme.
"Of course I remember!" I replied lazily.
"Then have you seen him again?"
"No!" I said with my eyes closed. Am I going to tell you that his home has been demolished by our engineering team? Am I going to tell you that he almost returned to the countryside to work in farming because he couldn't bear the pressure of life, and his life completely changed?
