Chapter 35: Washing Dishes in the Dance Hall

Gu Dongqing also turned and looked that way.

An adult in his thirties or forties was beating a little girl of fifteen or sixteen with a stick, and no one knew how he had offended her.

In short, the stick kept falling down, and while beating, he also cursed very badly.

Even bystanders like Jiang Mingyue felt the pain.

She frowned and wanted to go forward, but another person ran out from the half-open door.

The familiar figure made Jiang Mingyue stop in her tracks, and she reached out and grabbed Gu Dongqing's sleeve.

"It's the new moon."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to step forward.

Gu Dongqing grabbed her wrist with his backhand and pulled her to the side to hide. "Let's take a look first."

Compared to Jiang Mingyue's concern, Gu Dongqing was much calmer. The two of them hid in a corner not far away, watching Jiang Xinyue and the others.

After Jiang Xinyue came out, she pulled away the girl who was younger than her and argued with the woman herself.

Jiang Mingyue could hear it clearly. She heard her sister say, "Xiaofang didn't steal anything. I gave her my share of the meal."

"What's yours is mine too. If you don't want to eat the food, you should give it back to me. Who told you to give it to her?"

As Zhao Hong spoke, he pulled up his sleeves and continued to beat people. "I remember what I said at the beginning, I have the final say in the kitchen."

"Forget a bowl of rice. Even if it's the kitchen slop, you need my permission to take it away."

"You two poor bastards, I gave you a bite to eat, and you're not grateful to me, and you even dared to steal my things. I'll beat you to death."

The stick in Zhao Hong's hand fell, Jiang Xinyue stood in front of Xu Fang and reached out to grab the stick that was falling in front of her.

"Aunt Zhao, you should be reasonable. Don't bully others just because you are older than us and started working here before us."

Jiang Xinyue had an angry look on her face, and it was obvious that she was also irritated by Zhao Hong.

But Zhao Hong was older than them after all, and had been working as a cook in this nightclub for quite a long time, so she was not afraid of Jiang Xinyue at all.

After being stopped by Jiang Xinyue, Zhao Hong shouted that Xu Fang should pay compensation, otherwise this matter would not be so simple.

Jiang Xinyue saw that Xu Fang was in such a difficult situation, so she let Xu Fang take her share of the food back home.

She couldn't just watch Zhao Hong cause trouble for Xu Fang.

Seeing this, Zhao Hong called out a few people from the back kitchen and surrounded Jiang Xinyue and Jiang Fang.

He is ready to fight and hit someone.

At this point, Jiang Mingyue and the others could no longer stand idly by.

She was the first to step out of the corner.

"new moon."

"sister?"

Jiang Xinyue didn't expect to meet Jiang Mingyue here. She was happy but also nervous, worried that Zhao Hong would transfer his anger to her sister.

"Sister, I have something to do here, you go first."

Jiang Xinyue habitually wants to protect Jiang Mingyue.

As for why she was not in school but appeared here instead, I could only wait until things here were resolved and then find a chance to explain to my sister.

And Zhao Hong did just as Jiang Xinyue thought. When she saw Jiang Mingyue coming out, she immediately turned her attention to Jiang Mingyue.

That malicious look was just like that of an ancient brothel madam looking at prostitutes who were being sold for a price.

It makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Are you Jiang Xinyue's sister? You came just in time. Your sister secretly gave away the property of our dance hall to someone else. Come and see how to compensate her!"

"Aunt Zhao, please don't go too far."

Jiang Xinyue said.

Zhao Hong sneered and remained unmoved.

"How much money do you want us to pay you?" Gu Dongqing's playful voice interrupted, and he walked to Jiang Mingyue's side with his long legs.

His deep and handsome features have a half-smile on them. If you only look at his expression and ignore his bulky body, you will think he is a kind person.

But combining his facial expression with his body shape, it seems like this person is not someone you can easily mess with.

Not to mention that he was emanating an invisible aura, which instantly doubled the pressure.

Zhao Hong was still quite stubborn and was unwilling to admit defeat.

She took two steps forward and looked at Gu Dongqing arrogantly, "Who are you? Is it your turn to meddle in other people's business here?"

"You are about to take action against my sister-in-law. Do you think it is my turn to intervene?"

Gu Dongqing answered with a smile on his face.

Jiang Xinyue let out a cry. She was originally nervous, and her eyes moved back and forth between her sister and Gu Dongqing.

Don't make your observation too obvious.

Jiang Mingyue twitched the corners of her mouth.

Subconsciously, he reached out and pinched Gu Dongqing's arm to tell him to stop talking nonsense.

Gu Dongqing smiled more gently, "Don't worry, I know their boss."

Zhao Hong didn't believe it. "You know our boss? If you are really that powerful, would you let your sister-in-law come to the kitchen to help wash dishes?"

Her words directly revealed Jiang Xinyue's job.

Jiang Mingyue turned to look at her sister. Jiang Xinyue lowered her head guiltily and looked at the tip of her shoe with embarrassment.

"sister……"

"I'll settle your matter with you later."

Jiang Mingyue 'threatened' Jiang Xinyue in a low voice.

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Hong and asked her to pay the money to Jiang Xinyue. Jiang Xinyue would no longer do the job of washing dishes.

"sister……"

"Don't make noise."

Jiang Mingyue is very strong.

Jiang Xinyue curled her lips.

The person who was like a little hedgehog just now immediately fell silent, stood quietly aside, waiting for his sister to deal with the matter.

When Gu Dongqing said that he knew the owner of this nightclub, he really knew him.

There was no need for Zhao Hong to help call anyone. He just found someone and asked him to call the owner of the dance hall.

Zhao Hong was stunned when she saw that Gu Dongqing even knew the name of Master Guan Er clearly. Could it be that this man really knew the boss?

Not long after, Guan Youqian, who was yawning, was called over.

The man, who was originally dozing off and not yet fully awake, suddenly had his eyes widened when he saw Gu Dongqing.

"Brother Dong? Why are you here?"

"What brings you here? Why are you standing in this dirty kitchen? Come on, come on, let's talk in my office."

Guan Youqian's attitude directly proved that Gu Dongqing was not lying.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes fell on Jiang Xinyue beside him.

"Boss Guan, my third sister has been working part-time in your dance hall without telling me and her sister. Do you think we should settle her salary first?"

"Hey, knot, knot!"

He has money but a bad attitude.

Almost the moment Gu Dongqing finished speaking, he kept nodding.

He waved his hand and asked someone to call the finance department, who quickly calculated the money Jiang Xinyue had earned from washing dishes in the past month.

Although I only washed dishes at noon every day, the dishes I washed were the leftovers from the nightclub, so I was charged one dollar per noon.

In one month, I earned thirty yuan.

The treasurer handed the money to Guan Youqian, who, with a smile on his face, handed the money to Jiang Xinyue with both hands.

"Sister, please count and see if the money is correct. If not, I will give you more!"
