Chapter 92 Champagne Call
The music was deafening.
The salespeople working in nightclubs are the best at judging people. The two girls were not dressed too formally and at first glance they seemed to be just out shopping with their girlfriends, but everything from their clothes to their jewelry were from big brands, and their whole bodies exuded the aura of rich girls. In two words, they were "fat customers".
The head waiter did not dare to be negligent at all. Before the wine list was opened, the free beautiful sparkling wine was served to half of the table.
Under the dark golden crystal chandelier, the sweet scent of perfume hit her face. Su Xia stumbled and was supported by a man's hand. When she looked up, she met a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes. "Be careful."
The silver-haired boy in a velvet suit leaned forward to salute and was about to take Su Xia's bag, but she dodged him.
This is my first time playing here, and there are quite a lot of little girls who can’t let go.
The other person curled his lips in a non-annoying way, "I'm so sad. You're so heartless to me."
Su Xia didn't bother to pay attention to him.
She was in a trance.
This wasn't the ordinary bar she'd imagined when she walked in.
Their booths have good views.
Even in the dim light, she could still see clearly that the men in colorful uniforms were vying for attention, their faces more exquisitely carved than the other. There was even a boy next door wearing gold-rimmed glasses, holding a cherry stem in his mouth and offering it to the customer's lips.
What does Li Chun mean by "relieve fatigue"?
Then she understood.
In her previous life, after she got married, she and the ladies in the circle of wealthy women had ordered male models together, but they were just for fun. She had never seen such a blatant sale of sex.
"How is it?" Li Chun leaned close to Su Xia's ear and handed her a glass of rosé champagne. "This is the top male host club in Jiangcheng. The booths are very hard to reserve."
"You're so happy to have won the competition! Junior Sister will show you the world. Don't look so stern, like you're attending a funeral."
The booths near the dance floor suddenly erupted in cheers.
Su Xia turned around and saw a mixed-race man in a white suit standing in the distance, surrounded by stars. He used a corkscrew to pry open the gold foil wrapping on the bottle. The moment the champagne foam splashed, the whole audience roared in unison, "Thank you, Princess A11, for unlocking the Ace of Spades for Joshua!"
The DJ on the stage specially cut a rhythm, stretched out the tone and shouted out a sky-high number, and the entire dance floor was boiling with excitement for this money game.
"There's actually a champagne call," Li Chun said excitedly. He remembered that Su Xia was still young, so he said, "I've made an appointment with their other top star, Lucas, today. You don't have to spend any money, just enjoy my drinks."
"The commission they take in this business is really high. They can make 5,000 yuan out of a 10,000 yuan bottle of wine. If they really start drinking, they'd risk their lives. They're just trying to squeeze every last penny out of your pocket. Don't do that."
"I won't spend it." Su Xia waved her hand and agreed casually.
She didn't like this kind of place very much now, but she didn't want to offend her junior sister, so she had to sit here and wait.
All she could think about was when she could leave. In a trance, she saw a person beyond the blurry light and shadows and the crowds dancing on the dance floor.
Today is the uniform day in the nightclub, so the waiters don’t want to steal the limelight from the male hostess. They all wear the same shirts and black ties, with leather imitation gun belts on their shoulders.
He was also wearing a dark grey shirt rolled up to his elbows. In the dim light, the scars could not be seen, only the clean lines of his arms could be seen.
He was moving around the booths that were as flashy as a dream, carrying a tray in one hand. Although he was in the center of the hustle and bustle, he felt out of tune with the extravagance and decadence around him.
It’s Xu Jiqing.
Su Xia was stunned.
When she made the wish before, she never thought that she would meet him in such a place.
"What are you looking at?" Li Chun followed her gaze.
Before she could see clearly, Su Xia suddenly pulled the bag on the sofa and asked, "Can you order some wine for the waiter?"
Just like Li Chun came here for fun, the reason why Xu Jiqing appeared here could only be one -
money.
It's the kind of big money that needs to be urgently paid.
The last time I saw her before the holiday, Xu Jiqing was sitting at the desk in the reading room doing homework. Her snow-white school uniform was slightly puffed up by the wind, like a crane that could fly away at any time.
But at this moment, he was bending over again and again in such a place, even kneeling on one knee, being patted on the shoulders and teased by the drunk female guests, his fingertips tightly gripping the edge of the tray, his knuckles turning white.
She stood up suddenly.
"Hey Xia Xia, where are you going..." Li Chun's voice was drowned out by the music.
Su Xia walked straight to the foreman waiting on the side and said, "I want to open the wine for the waiter."
"This...there was no such rule before."
The foreman smiled apologetically, "We have quite a few people here that you haven't met. Would you like to take another look, Miss?"
"Waiters are just waiters. They can only serve the cheapest two bottles of champagne in the store. If they want to buy more expensive ones, they have to kiss them..."
Su Xia interrupted him, "Let me see those pages you just mentioned."
The gold-plated wine list that I had seen in the booth was opened again.
On the last few pages, the prices of the drinks were far lower than the bottle of wine the DJ had just ordered, but she could stack the quantity.
He didn't want the money directly, but he couldn't return the wine, so he had to accept it.
Su Xia's heart was pounding nervously. She lightly ran her fingertips across the top row and pointed at Xu Jiqing in the distance. Her voice was not loud, but clear.
"Here, give him ten bottles."
The noisy voices around him fell silent for a moment; even the male PR who was feeding grapes to someone in the next booth turned around in surprise.
Even if it's not an expensive wine with a unit price of over ten thousand, ten bottles is still not a small amount of money.
They had never seen such a guest before.
…Why would anyone pay a waiter?
Originally, Su Xia wanted to say that it would be better to give him the commission anonymously and not to celebrate and alarm him, but it was too late.
The foreman had already quickly taken his people to their positions, some were looking for people, some were pouring wine. Su Xia was surrounded by a group of well-dressed male public relations, and was sent back to the booth while being shouted slogans.
Under Li Chun's stunned gaze, the champagne tower was quickly built.
Laser beams flashed, the DJ called out her seat number in a drawn-out voice, and her screams nearly blew the roof off—
“Thank you, Princess A01, for unlocking the first champagne tower for Cyan tonight!”
Sean.
Is it the sin of the sin function, or the cyan one?
Is that his name here?
Su Xia was thinking in a mess.
There are many regular customers in this kind of place, and most of them are hearing about this person for the first time and look up with curiosity.
When Xu Jiqing was surrounded, someone took the tray from his hand and his hands were covered with water melted from the ice bucket.
He raised his eyes.
The girl was wearing a clean white dress, her black hair falling softly on her shoulders, her eyes looking around hurriedly at the crowd.
After seeing him, she blinked nervously. She had clearly come to give him money, but it seemed as if she had done something wrong, and her cheeks were obviously red.
"you……"
Xu Jiqing's throat felt dry and his Adam's apple rolled noticeably several times.
His eyes were fixed on her face, and he couldn't utter a word.
