Five years ago, Lin Sui abandoned her boyfriend of seven years, Qin Chen, to marry the playboy Zhou Dang, all to pay for her father's medical treatment.
Five years later, Lin Sui nearly g...
Lin Sui quickly found a job as a hostess in a nightclub.
It was the best-paying job she could find.
During the day, she was busy with her thesis at school, eating in the cafeteria with Qin Chen, and at night, she put on heavy makeup and went to the nightclub to accompany drinking. After two days of training, on the first day of work, the first customer she met was Zhou Dang.
At that time, Zhou Dang was 32 years old and had just returned from abroad. He was busy spending his days in debauchery and doing nothing.
Lin Sui sat beside him nervously, speaking incoherently, and it was obvious that he was a newcomer.
Zhou Dang felt it was new and asked after blowing a puff of smoke onto Lin Sui's face.
"You don't have a sick father, do you?"
Lin Sui looked at Zhou Dang in shock and asked, "How did you know?"
Zhou Dang smiled, very unrestrainedly, took a puff of cigarette and exhaled slowly.
"Isn't that what you all say? There's nothing new about it."
Lin Sui smiled and agreed.
Zhou Dang was stunned for a moment. He squinted his eyes and came closer, looking at Lin Sui carefully.
"Heavy makeup doesn't suit you."
"I'm afraid of being recognized." Lin Sui said honestly.
Zhou Dang was amused by her honesty and ordered a few bottles of expensive wine. Lin Sui calculated in her mind how much commission she could get.
Zhou Dang was not the type who liked to force people to drink. He distributed the wine he ordered to everyone. He could finish the whole party with just one glass of wine. He did not force Lin Sui to drink, so Lin Sui easily earned several thousand yuan for the first time as a drinking companion.
Walking back to school with the money in his arms, Lin Sui's heart was trembling. If he could get this kind of income every day, there would be hope for his father's illness.
The next day, Lin Sui took his father to the best hospital in Jiangbei. The doctor recommended chemotherapy first. Lin Sui gritted his teeth and agreed. He transferred all the family savings to a card specifically for his father's treatment.
However, after that night, Lin Sui didn't meet Zhou Dang for a long time.
Lin Sui finally got to see what a real nightclub was like. Not only did he have to drink until he vomited every day, but he also had to deal with the customers' sexual harassment.
Taking countless hangover pills is useless, and vomiting and regurgitation into the stomach is the norm.
Lin Sui could tolerate all these, but the only thing she couldn't stand was that after getting a hangover every day, she had to pretend nothing happened and go to see Qin Chen the next day.
Her roommates were already looking at her with tinted glasses, and she knew it was only a matter of time before Qin Chen heard about it.
She also knew that the best way was to tell Qin Chen herself, but when she looked at Qin Zhen's innocent face, she just couldn't say it.
The turning point occurred one morning when Lin Sui, suffering from a terrible headache from drinking too much, squatted on the side of the road to sober up. A valuable car pulled up in front of Lin Sui, the passenger window slowly lowered, revealing Zhou Dang's handsome and frivolous face.
"Hi, nice to see you again."
Lin Sui smiled. She didn't expect that Zhou Dang could still recognize her even after taking off her makeup.
"Ten thousand, shall we go?"
Lin Sui narrowed his eyes and it took him a long time to understand what Zhou Dang meant.
"I have a boyfriend."
Lin Sui originally wanted to say that he would sell his art but not his body, but then he thought that selling alcohol was not an art at all.
"Interesting." Zhou Dang smiled, without any embarrassment of being rejected, and drove away.
Lin Sui leaned against the street lamp and waited until he was completely sober before taking the earliest bus back to school.
There were groups of students memorizing words on the tree-lined road. Lin Sui walked slowly back to the dormitory. A delivery boy ran past her with a few bags and said, "Excuse me."
Lin Sui suddenly stopped and tentatively called out to the delivery boy's back, "Qin Chen?"
Qin Chen didn't expect it was Lin Sui. The moment he turned around, his pupils shrank sharply and he almost ran away.
Lin Sui stared in disbelief, she ran forward and questioned Qin Chen.
"What are you doing?"
"Me, I'm experiencing life. I want to write my thesis on delivering food."
Qin Chen is not good at lying at all, and he blinks rapidly when he tells a lie.
Lin Sui looked at Qin Chen and suddenly understood everything. She asked with a wry smile.
"Why don't you ask me why I'm out so early?"
"Sui Sui, I know you must have encountered difficulties. Believe me, I will work a few more jobs and we will get through this together." Qin Chen said to Lin Sui quickly, then ran away with the takeaway.
"Wait until I finish delivering these orders, I'm going to be out of time!"
Lin Sui looked at Qin Chen's tanned face and tears flowed uncontrollably.
She covered her face. She didn't want to drag Qin Chen down, but it seemed like she was already doing so.
She stood downstairs waiting, and Qin Chen quickly ran down again. Seeing her, he smiled and handed her the familiar card.
"Why are you being so polite to your husband?"
Seeing that Lin Sui didn't take it, Qin Chen thought it was not enough and frowned.
"How about this, I'll call my dad later and ask them to help."
"Need not."
Lin Sui laughed.
"Well, I lent all my living expenses to a friend, so money's a little tight lately. I've already told my dad, and he's already transferred some money to me. I won't be working part-time anymore."
Qin Chen looked at Lin Sui suspiciously and didn't believe it.
"Sui Sui, if there's anything we can do together, I know you seem to be working part-time at a bar, that kind of place... Anyway, leave the money-making stuff to me. At worst, let my parents figure it out."
Lin Sui bit her lip.
"Really? I did work part-time at a bar, but I was waiting tables. I've been working there for a few days. Although I earn a little more money, it's too tiring. I'm ready to quit! If you don't believe me, forget it!"
Lin Sui lowered his head and pretended to be angry.
"Sui Sui, don't be angry, isn't it enough that I believe you?"
Just then, Qin Chen's phone showed that he had a new order.
"Don't do this anymore!" Lin Suilan stood in front of Qin Chen. "Don't do this kind of work anymore, Qin Chen. I beg you."
Qin Chen rubbed Lin Sui's head and smiled.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
-
Lin Sui woke up in a daze and found himself still lying in the bathtub.
The dream just now was so real, so real that her eyes were wet.
The water in the bathtub was already cold, and she was a little scared. How could she fall asleep in the bath? If she drowned, no one would know.
After getting up and walking out of the bathroom, Lin Sui lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
This time she slept until dawn.
He got up on time and put on a casual T-shirt. Zhou Dang was no longer at home. Lin Sui was too lazy to pay attention to him and drove to the company by himself.
She has been too lazy recently, and if this continues her plan to save money will have to be put on hold.
When he arrived at the workstation, Wang Jinjin was drinking Starbucks. Seeing Lin Sui, he strongly recommended the new product in his hand. Lin Sui curled his lips and said that he couldn't afford it. After getting the answer he wanted, Wang Jinjin laughed a few times and walked away.
Lin Sui found Lao Wang and took the initiative to apply for a business trip to discuss topics in other places.
Big Wang was delighted. Many people were unwilling to do this kind of business trip, and few asked for it. Lin Sui smiled, thinking that it was definitely for the travel allowance.
