Chapter 24 Life and Death at Your Own Risk
After returning home, Lin Du has been waiting for news from Chu Xu.
But he didn't get a reply until late at night. Lin Du wanted to send a message several times to ask, but he felt that it was very rude.
He squinted drowsily when his cell phone sent him a message. The glaring light made Lin Du uncomfortable and he blocked it with his arm.
I reached for my phone in a daze and found a message from Chu Xu.
Lin Du suddenly perked up. Chu Xu's message was still simple: "See you at the same place tomorrow at 8 o'clock."
Pursing his lips tightly, Lin Du let out a deep breath, as if cheering himself up in his heart.
Lying on the bed and covered with a quilt, Lin Du was no longer sleepy.
He didn't know what would happen after he started working at the club, but he knew he had no way out.
When people are in despair, they can give up everything, including themselves.
Around seven o'clock the next evening, Lin Du had already arrived at the door of the club. He did not approach for fear of being driven away by the two security guards again.
Chu Xu was very punctual and appeared at the door of the club on time.
Lin Du poked his head out from the corner, took a good look at what was going on, and then walked over slowly.
Chu Xu chuckled and looked at Lin Du. It seemed that he had dressed up specially today, but this shabby outfit didn't really make much sense.
Noticing Chu Xu's scrutinizing look, Lin Du smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I really don't have any nice clothes."
"It's okay." Chu Xu curled his lips and smiled, "Simplicity is also a kind of beauty."
Lin Du pursed his lips and pulled the corners of his mouth.
After yesterday's incident, the two security guards saw that Lin Du no longer had his previous arrogance. Perhaps it was because he was following Chu Xu, they didn't even look at Lin Du, which made Lin Du feel more at ease.
"I'll take you to meet the boss here." Chu Xu led the way and turned his head to look at Lin Du's reserved look. "The boss is my friend. He came back from abroad and is quite open-minded."
Lin Du listened carefully and took it all in his mind.
Chu Xu pushed open the door of a private room and walked in first. A tall and handsome man came over and hugged him.
Chu Xu turned around and bend his palm slightly to signal Lin Du to come over: "This is the owner of the club, Shen Zhichu."
Lin Du raised his eyes nervously and glanced at Shen Zhichu, then quickly lowered his eyes and dared not ask any more questions: "Hello, boss."
Shen Zhichu and Chu Xu smiled at each other, and looked at Lin Du with narrowed eyes recklessly.
She is very pretty and has a good figure. If she works here, she will definitely be very popular. But she is too thin, with a pale face and skinny body, which gives people a morbid beauty. However, it also meets the needs of some psychologically twisted customers.
But can this small body bear it? Shen Zhichu sighed lightly, seeming a little doubtful.
Lin Du, who was originally embarrassed by Shen Zhichu's stare, suddenly panicked after hearing his dissatisfied sigh.
He raised his eyes in a daze, and for the first time ever, he took the initiative to fight for a chance to stay: "Boss, I'm very capable, I can do any job, can you keep me?"
Shen Zhichu glanced at Chu Xu and shrugged: "I think Chu Xu has already told you that the waiters here are not just serving tea and water, there are other requirements."
Lin Du nodded blankly: "Yes, I know."
"So are you sure you can do it?" Shen Zhichu raised his eyebrows. "I think you are quite timid and too obedient. You may not be able to handle working here."
Lin Du pinched his hands, feeling equally uneasy.
Chu Xu sighed and patted Lin Du on the shoulder: "If it doesn't work out, you can find another job."
"No!" Lin Du raised his eyes firmly, his eyes red but he was trying not to look too cowardly, "Boss, please keep me. I will take all the consequences."
Shen Zhichu frowned and looked at Chu Xu: "This is your friend, what do you think?"
Chu Xu thought for a moment and said, "Help him. He is really short of money."
Shen Zhichu nodded without saying anything more. He walked to the table, took out a contract and handed it to Lin Du: "Take a close look."
After taking the contract, the first thing that caught his eyes was the words "We are not responsible for life or death". Lin Du looked at Shen Zhichu with some confusion.
"The guests here are either rich or powerful, and some like to play some torturous games. Some people can bear it, but some people naturally can't, so I tell you to be cautious." Shen Zhichu said again solemnly.
The hand holding the contract tightened involuntarily, and Lin Du bit his lower lip fiercely: "Excuse me, do you have a pen?"
Shen Zhichu handed over a pen, Lin Du took a deep breath, and signed his name heavily.
"Your handwriting is beautiful." Shen Zhichu praised, "You are as clean as a person."
Lin Du pulled the corner of his mouth and lowered his head embarrassedly.
"Being shy like you doesn't give you an advantage here, but there are some customers who fall for it." Shen Zhichu put away the contract. "Although you are Chu Xu's friend, let me be frank. I'm a business owner. I can take care of you, but I will never ruin the relationship between me and my customers for you, so you'd better remember this."
Lin Du nodded heavily: "I know the boss."
"Okay, you don't have to go to work today. Get familiar with the environment of the club first. If you have any questions, you can ask your colleagues around you." Shen Zhichu made a gesture of invitation to Chu Xu, "Have a drink?"
Chu Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Passing by Lin Du, Chu Xu stopped and said, "Come on!"
"Thank you."
Lin Du walked out of the private room and looked around. He observed the waiters around him. They all looked very angry, and each of them had a different standard smile on their face.
Standing in a corner, Lin Du saw a weak-looking waiter being pulled over by a customer. Instead of struggling, he lay in the customer's arms and played games with the customer in a pretentious manner.
Lin Du lowered his eyes and did not continue to look. When he raised his head again, the weak-looking waiter and the guest had already walked towards a private room.
During this time, the delicate-looking waiter stuffed a wad of banknotes into her pocket, then climbed onto the customer's arm and clung to him in an ambiguous manner.
Lin Du leaned against the wall, covered his face, and let out a long breath.
He couldn't imagine if it was him, could he do what the waiter did just now? The answer was obvious, he didn't seem to be able to do it.
Lin Du, who hadn't recovered from the shock yet, bumped into a waiter just as he was about to leave the dark corner. He instinctively lowered his head to apologize.
The waiter chuckled and said, "It's okay. I didn't notice it. I didn't bump into you, did I?"
Lin Du raised his eyes and looked at the handsome and clean-cut boy in front of him, who looked to be in his early twenties.
"My name is Qin Chang, what's yours?"
"My name is Lin Du."
Qin Chang looked at Lin Du, squinted his eyes and smiled sweetly: "You are not a guest here, right?"
"No...no, I'm here to apply for a job." Lin Du lowered his eyes, feeling a little unnatural.
Qin Chang shrugged. Looking at Lin Du's appearance, there was no doubt that he was another miserable person.
