Rebirth of the small model of the Republic of China

Chapter 5

Returning home in the middle of the night again, the landlady who just came back from playing mahjong still babbled a few words, even though she was carrying a charcoal stove or something.

Ye Chi could only say that he had found a part-time job, but it was relatively late before the landlady dispelled his worries.

"Who was Secretary Zhang who came last time? He looks very impressive!" the landlady asked casually while heating the water for Yechi.

Ye Chi smiled: "It's my boss' secretary."

"Yo, that must be the big boss, not bad." The landlady felt more and more that the young man didn't want to be as rumored. He was a nice guy, not lazy, and had a good temper.

Ye Chi smiled, thought about Fu Lin's appearance and aura, and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it's the big boss."

On this day, Ye Chi went to work again, but today was unlucky and it rained.

There are few pedestrians on the road and business has dropped sharply.

I don’t know what’s going on these days, the rainfall is very considerable, the weather is sticky and cold, and Yechi unfortunately won the bid————I have chilblains on my knees.

That's right, the knee.

There is no place where the toes are the easiest to grow, but the knees.The ears are also slightly itchy and slightly swollen to the touch.

There is no specific medicine, and there is no ointment to prevent frostbite. It is just the most traditional snake oil, and the price is still very expensive.

So Ye Chi didn't make up his mind, and simply let him go, and he will get better gradually.

Closed early today, most pedestrians are in a hurry, so there is not much business.

He didn't plan to consume it anymore, bought a bag of carbon, and walked back slowly holding an umbrella.

The shoes were soaked in water, and they would slowly freeze from the bottom to the top, but as they were about to get home, they gritted their teeth and held on like this.

At the end of the road, there was a dark car parked. Secretary Zhang glanced sideways, and this time he saw it right away.

Although it was dusty, it could be seen at a glance that it was Ye Chi.

In the rearview mirror, Secretary Zhang saw his boss and noticed it too. He stared at that figure without concealing his eyes.

Originally, in this situation, he would think wrongly, and he would think of the recent trend of homosexuality, but when it comes to his boss, this cannot be judged by common sense.

A great possibility is to pay attention to the appearance of the other party.

"Mr. Fu, are you going back to the other building?"

After a long while, Fu Lin didn't answer. After waiting for five or six minutes, he finally hummed.

Secretary Zhang, who was in a daze, sat up straight: "Okay."

"At Huayue Gate the day after tomorrow, it's 11:30 p.m. at the invitation of the storekeepers. Are you going to the appointment?" He thought for a while, and reminded his boss.

Fu Lin frowned, Huayuemen, the dance hall.

"Ah."

Zhang Qiuyang knew that his boss didn't like this kind of occasion, but in fact, no one dared to persuade his boss to drink in this kind of occasion.

Ye Chi finally got home, immediately lit up the charcoal stove, and put the wet shoes beside the charcoal stove to roast.

The toes are wrinkled and white because they are soaked in water.

He passed by a very luxurious building today and saw the recruitment notice.

It's a waiter.

He felt that he could try it, because it was an evening shift, and it was just in time for him to finish polishing his shoes.

He just dried his toes, he warmed up a bit, and wanted to eat a bowl of noodles.

There was a knock on the door.

I thought it was the landlady's wife, but a soft female voice sounded.

"Xiaoike, are you in there?"

Is it Ye Chi's sister?

That's right, it's her, Ye Shu.

How did she find here?

The break between Ye Chi and the Ye family is irreversible, and publishing in the newspaper is the most serious and authoritative thing in this era.

So he will have nothing to do with the Ye family now.

In fact, Yuan Yechi was also miserable. His mother gave birth to him with dystocia. After his death, Mr. Ye immediately married another woman. As a result, he became a silly boy who was loved and loved by no one.

Then the silly boy grew crooked and became a bastard.

In memory, although Ye Shu was not his biological sister, she treated him very well.

 It's not just Ye Chi, she seems to be very kind to all juniors.

He stood up and opened the door.

Ye Shu huddled in his coat, his delicate face was a bit haggard.

The whole person looked shivering, and there were still tears on his face.

"Sister, what's the matter?" A little awkward.

Ye Shu looked around the room with distressed expression in his eyes, but he was relieved when he thought of something.

Ye Chi let Ye Shu in.

Sitting by the stove, Ye Shu sat down and didn't speak.

After closing the door, Ye Chi gave her a cup of hot water, "Sister, sit down for a while, I'll get you something to eat, have you eaten yet?"

Ye Shu shook his head, hesitating to speak, seeing that Ye Chi didn't question her, she didn't have to tell her embarrassing situation immediately, which made her feel a lot easier.

"Then I'll get you something to eat." Ye Chi started to get busy.

Two bowls of soft-boiled egg noodles with green vegetables and a little chopped green onion. Although the room was dark and the kerosene lamp flickered on and off, the hot noodle soup for two nights made the two of them feel warm.

At this time, Ye Chi thought of the heater, crystal lamp, bathtub, and circulating hot water in a certain rich man's house.

People are more angry than people

However, as a person with a fighting spirit, Ye Chi's next plan has been directly arranged to the step of buying a house.

What moved Ye Chi was that the housing price at this time was simply the price of cabbage.

So he has to find a stable job quickly, hoping that Fu Lin can maintain a long-term employment relationship.

After eating and washing the dishes, seeing Ye Shu always looking out of the window involuntarily, feeling uneasy.

The two sat in front of the fire, their faces flushed by the firelight.

The room is slightly warmer.

"Sister, are you staying today?" Ye Chi glanced at the room with only one bed.

Ye Shu shook his head and was silent for a while, "Ye Chi, I finally understand why you would rather leave the Ye family than publish in the newspaper."

Ye Chi raised his eyebrows, was he wronged at the Ye family?

In memory, Ye Shu has a very good personality, and the Ye family also cultivated her vigorously.

Although because of his family background, he couldn't become a famous lady, Ye Shu was considered a minor celebrity in the small circle.

Celebrity, in this era, is a representative of successful women, a commendatory term.

"What's wrong? Tell me."

Ye Shu sighed, Ye Chi had changed a lot not long after he left Ye's house.

"Guzhuang has been struggling recently, and I've reached the marriageable age again..." She dimmed with disgust, "I'll just come to talk to you, and I'll be back in a while."

It turned out that someone came to propose a marriage. The other party was a 40-year-old shopkeeper of a watch shop in the south of the city. He was worth a lot of money and had contacts who could help Yejia Guzhuang.

This so-called marriage again?

Ye Chi raised his eyes, looked at the other party, and said something unexpected to Ye Shu, "So, sister, are you going back?"

Ye Shu thought that Ye Chi would comfort him and complain for her, but he didn't expect him to say this.

"Where... can I go?" Ye Shu, who was usually a lady and glamorous, looked like a fish that couldn't breathe at this moment.

Ye Shu said in a low voice, "It would be fine if I were a man."

It's really not easy for women to stand on their own feet in this world. Besides, for a woman like Ye Shu, there are too many people who covet her.

Ye Chi lowered his head and thought for a while, "Ye Yi agreed?"

Ye Shu nodded, "We're negotiating..."

Want to maximize profits?Ye Chi sneered.

"That shouldn't be so fast." Ye Chi turned on the charcoal fire, "You came out to find me today, does the Ye family know?"

Ye Shu shook his head and said, "I mean go to Mrs. Chen."

"The Ye family here probably doesn't know about it." Ye Chi thought for a while, he knew people in the house, probably only Fu Lin and the landlady's wife.

In order not to cause trouble for himself, he specifically asked the landlady not to tell anything about his living here.

Ye Shu is very smart, with a twinkle in his eyes, "You mean..."

Ye Chi nodded affirmatively, "If you have made up your mind, sister, come to me. I will prepare a bed and find another decent place to stay after a while."

Ye Shu didn't say much, and acquiesced.

Ye Chi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sister, do you know Fu Lin?"

Ye Shu nodded.

"What kind of person is he?"

"I heard from Mrs. Zhao that he is cruel, unsmiling, very mean, and quite unreasonable. What's wrong?"

Ye Chi told Ye Shu that he was a model for Fu Lin, and Ye Shu was surprised: "I have heard that he is very accomplished in painting."

"He... didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Ye Shu remembered something, and frowned, hoping it was a rumor.

Ye Chi fiddled with the charcoal fire without noticing Ye Shu's expression, and shook his head: "No, I'm just curious."

After sending Ye Shu away, Ye Chi went to find the landlady again to make sure she didn't tell, so he was relieved.

His place is in a small alley, except for the landlady, who are all migrant workers, no one will notice him.

The next day, Ye Chi finished polishing his shoes and went home.

It cleared up today, and Ye Chi's spirit has improved a lot, and he wants to tidy up himself.

Ye Chi used old scissors to change his hairstyle.

Originally, Ye Chi liked to have his hair combed oily and smooth, but a few days ago, it was always messy and he took care of it casually.

Now it has become a more modern hairstyle, broken hair, with some bangs drooping down, covering a little bit of eyebrows, which is quite refreshing.

Ye Chi in the mirror is much more pleasing to the eye.

I don't know why, the way he looked a few days ago, Fu Lin would take a fancy to him.

Go out.

Huayue Gate.

The most luxurious building in Haicheng, Ye Chi used to be a model, and he has no fear of glamorous places.

——Except for jumping into other people's cars in gray clothes.

The interview took place in the backyard.

The recruitment flyer stated that shifts can be scheduled on the same day, and the working hours are from [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] a.m. the next day.

Ye Chi did the math, went back to sleep until noon, he could sleep for eight hours, and came out to shine shoes in the afternoon.This arrangement is perfect.

Huayuemen is definitely the best of this era.

The decoration alone is already a different world from the outside world.

The supervisor is a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, and next to him is a woman about 30 years old. She looks like her skin is well maintained.

They stand in a row, this should be the interview.

The woman stepped on high and followed, da da da circled, looking at the applicant.

Among the group of tall, short, fat and thin people, many were immediately eliminated, and Ye Chi successfully passed the first level.

There were nearly twenty of them left, all of them were good-looking and not short in height.

"You can call me Director Feng. I mainly take care of the dancers." The woman said, then pointed to the man beside her, "This is the deputy director, and I mainly take care of you."

"The job content is very simple, clearing the table, serving wine, ordering, and occasionally chatting with customers."

Yuan Yechi is not qualified to come to this kind of dance hall, and no one should recognize him.

Besides, he changed his hairstyle.

It is said that hairstyle is the essence of a person's appearance. If he shaved his head bald, the old man of the Ye family would probably not recognize him.

At the final stage, there are six remaining, all of whom are tall men with good looks.

The facial features on the application notice are correct, and the handsome appearance is not a joke.

"Although you are just waiters, our Huayuemen is the largest dance hall in Haicheng, and we need different talents."

Director Feng chuckled, and the male supervisor next to him came out immediately, "Come with me, you need to try the uniform."

The man beside him asked softly, "Start working now?"

Director Feng nodded, "The salary of the probationary period is paid once a day. The matter is very simple, but simple training is also required."

"There are two hours of training next."

The male supervisor looked mean, and his words were also sharp, "This is not another ballroom restaurant, if you deal with it casually, leave immediately."

The training lasted nearly two hours, and the uniform was a three-piece suit, which could not be taken away and had to be returned every day.

The Chinese New Year is about to come, and the traffic of Huayuemen is increasing, and it is too busy, and it is more prosperous than expected, so a temporary waiter is hired.

But if you do a good job, you can become a regular later.

But Ye Chi only intends to do this one month, after all, this job is not a long-term solution.

In short - no future.

The uniforms are clean with a fresh cleansing smell on them.

It is the size of the leaf pool.

Put on a shirt, trousers, and a vest.

The tailoring of this suit is not bad. After putting on the vest, it outlines the curves hidden under the originally loose shirt.

Ye Chi's current body can also be said to be a clothes hanger.

Such a suit is just the most common, but in this era, it is a very expensive luxury.

·

11: 30.

In front of Huayue Gate, a pitch-black tin car was parked at the door, and the waiter at the door opened the door immediately, putting one hand on the door frame, respectful.

Secretary Zhang came down to clear the way for his boss.

"Mr. Fu! This way please." The supervisor standing at the door greeted him with a smile, very doggy.

Fu Lin's gaze didn't rest on anyone, and he walked all the way inside.Many people recognized him and made way for him automatically.

When passing by the entrance, just after entering, the coat was taken off by the waiting waiter, but Fu Lin's footsteps did not stop at all.

Fu Lin is actually very low-key, but even if he is low-key, his means can't keep him low-key.

Everyone knows who is the No. [-] owner of the commercial firm in Haicheng.

The mysterious Fu Lin made everyone turn their heads to look, but they would be repelled by the sharp gazes if they met each other, and they almost didn't dare to look around again.

Fu Lin didn't show up many times, this time he came back to China, and it was the third time he showed up on this kind of occasion.

One time was a welcome banquet, and the other time was with friends, friends in the true sense.

This time, it was a joint invitation from the eight major commercial firms, so he gave a bit of a thin face.

As soon as they sat down, the shopkeepers who were sitting on the leather sofa all got up and greeted them cheerfully.

Fu Lin nodded and was placed in the middle position.Even Secretary Zhang was arranged to sit beside him.

"Come, come, Mr. Fu, it's been a long time since I asked you to come out. This time, let us treat you well."

Zhang Qiuyang was almost Fu Lin's mouth, and he smiled kindly: "It cost a few gentlemen."

The shopkeepers laughed so hard that their cheeks were sore, how could they have such a friendly expression on weekdays.

Although Secretary Zhang is polite and polite, he doesn't dare to underestimate him.

In fact, Zhang Qiuyang's background is very unusual, and he had a lot of splashes in the business world before.But for some reason, he became Fu Lin's secretary overnight.

This made everyone more and more curious about Fu Lin.

As soon as Fu Lin returned to China, he used thunderous means to plunder several large commercial firms, annexed small commercial firms one after another, and created a large commercial empire in just half a year.

Fu Lin's method is even more unheard of. The large commercial firms that coexist with them cannot compete with it, and can only establish friendly relations.

However, he is too curious.

Fu Lin raised his wine glass and took a casual sip, and the others immediately raised their glasses to finish off.

When putting down the cup, Fu Lin's gaze was fixed.

Secretary Zhang felt strange, this kind of thing happened a lot recently, so she followed her gaze.

Why is the figure shuttled among the crowds so familiar?

The young man in a three-piece suit bowed slightly to the guests, smiled, and then turned around without seeing them.

Secretary Zhang almost laughed out loud.

Ye Chi, why do everything?

The author has something to say: Fu Lin: It seems that you and I hit it off, why not...
