Chapter 32 Differential Treatment
Chapter 32
The distance from the main banquet hall to the billiard hall is quite far, with three floors in between. Wen Xi walked for seven or eight minutes according to the map before he found the place.
After opening the glass door, Wenxi saw the head of the billiard room waiting at the door from a distance. She was a pretty and capable waitress. Wenxi recognized her as Cui Xiaozhu, who was one of the top ten waitresses in the Niye Club.
"Team Leader Cui." Wen Xi walked straight towards Cui Xiaozhu and nodded, saying, "Manager Zou temporarily arranged for me to work here."
Cui Xiaozhu had already received the notice from Manager Zou. She looked Wen Xi up and down and said with a smile, "The manager has told me. Now that you are here, you should work hard here. Considering that you did not receive any training here yesterday, I will take this opportunity to tell you the key points."
Cui Xiaozhu didn't waste any time. He took Wen Xi to walk around the billiard hall and explained the work flow and precautions in detail.
The billiard room of the Herdonie is large and simple, with a modern minimalist design that is different from the Baroque style of the main banquet hall.
The 10th anniversary celebration of Niye Club was grand and luxurious, but it did not mean that the standards for the guests they received would be lowered. As the highest-level entertainment club in an international first-tier city, Niye Club only invites the rich and famous, and only sent out 600 invitations.
This cruise ship can accommodate up to 6,000 people, including nearly a thousand staff members on board, and it serves these 600 guests with distinguished backgrounds for two days and one night.
The high threshold for guests meant that the guests on the Herdonie were destined to come for business exchanges, antique auctions, chess and card gambling, high-energy performances and other stimulating entertainment activities that could only be carried out openly on the high seas.
There are not many people who enjoy billiards, a leisure activity that can be played at any time. In comparison, the number of staff in billiard halls is pitifully small.
There were fewer people, fewer things to do, and fewer things to pay attention to. There was no need to be as cautious as at the main banquet venue. Cui Xiaozhu was concise and to the point, and it only took 20 minutes for Wen Xi to go through it.
"Do you understand everything?"
Wen Xi nodded: "No problem."
"Can you play billiards?" Cui Xiaozhu asked.
Wen Xi frowned and told the truth: "I can understand the rules and techniques, but I have never tried them. Is it a big impact?"
"It's OK as long as you know how to play." Cui Xiaozhu said with a smile. She took Wenxi to a seat near the door and pointed at the display screen on the wall. "You can stay here. When no one is around, you can watch the billiards tutorial and cram for the exam."
Cui Xiaozhu winked playfully: "Relax, we probably won't have many people coming here. We can also satisfy our billiard addiction."
From here, you can see the sea outside the door at a glance, and there is a salty smell of sea salt in the air. If you walk around a little, you can also block the view from the outside. It is a very good location. The leader is a normal person with little work to do. The billiard hall is indeed a good place.
Wen Xi's nervousness about the temporary change of workplace disappeared, and he winked at Cui Xiaozhu, his tone slightly playful: "Okay, I will seize the opportunity."
Cui Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, then put his hand on his chest, thinking that he had heard about her before, and she was indeed pure and beautiful, and she smelled fragrant.
Cui Xiaozhu pursed her lips in restraint, and her tone subconsciously became lighter: "Okay, then you can learn. If you have any problems, just come to me."
When Wenxi was a child, he loved watching billiard games. At that time, all the bad luck had not yet befallen the family, his parents had a harmonious relationship, and Wen Guoqing was regarded as a good husband and a good father by everyone. Wen Guoqing was a 985 university student in the village, and he also had some knowledge of billiards. He taught Wenxi some things, which was considered enlightenment. But Wen Guoqing was busy with his business and was always away from home. He promised again and again, "Dad will take you to play billiards when he is free", but in the end, he never fulfilled his promise until his family was broken up.
The phone in his side pocket vibrated, suddenly bringing Wen Xi's scattered thoughts back to his mind. He raised his hand and patted his cheek, trying to drive out the unhappy thoughts in his head.
Wen Xi glanced outside the door and saw no one. He turned around and saw that his colleagues were also slacking off. He moved closer to the pool table, made sure that he could not be seen from outside the door, took a deep breath, and took out his cell phone to check.
It’s news from Ming Yao.
[If You Are Unhappy, You Will Be Superman]: Are you on the job?
[Unhappy is Superman]: I'm ready to hear you talk about what those big guys look like.
[Unhappy is Superman]: [Curious]
[The stream becomes the sea]: On duty.
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: But it wasn’t the main banquet hall. I was transferred to the billiard room where not many people come.
[Become a Superman When You Are Unhappy]: What’s going on?
[Unhappy is Superman]: Didn't I tell Brother Zou to take care of you and arrange a job with the highest salary for you? Why did you go to the billiard hall? What did he promise me?
[溪流成海]: Don't worry. It was force majeure from the backstage that I couldn't stay at the main venue. But Manager Zou took good care of me and found a billiard hall for me. Although the money is a little less, the risk is low, there is more free time, it's not tiring, and I can play billiards. It's great here.
[Unhappy is Superman]: That's OK. It's common to be excluded from the backstage. If it's not from our store, it's OK.
[溪流成海]: Yeah, I plan to learn how to play billiards, so that no customer will show off and affect the reputation of Ni Ye.
[Unhappy is Superman]: Then you study, I won't bother you. When I get back to the store, I'll talk to Brother Zou and get you some easy games with more money.
Ming Yao didn't know Wen Xi's plan yet, and Wen Xi didn't tell him about it, so as not to make Ming Yao worried. He continued the conversation and expressed his sincere gratitude.
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: Okay, thank you Xiaoyao.
After briefly discussing the current situation with Ming Yao, Wen Xi set about preparing to learn. Although he had some knowledge of billiards, that was a long time ago and it seemed like a lifetime ago when he thought about it.
Wen Xi followed the billiards tutorial on the screen. The concise, easy-to-understand teaching quickly revived Wen Xi's forgotten memories.
Thanks to years of speed learning training, Wenxi progressed at three times the speed and reviewed most of the tutorial in half an hour.
He went to pick up the club a little excitedly, bent down to find the angle, and the phone in his pocket vibrated again.
Wenxi put down his cue temporarily. It was already 9:35 and there were still 25 minutes before the boat set sail, but still no one came to the billiard hall.
[Y.]: Where are you now?
[Y.]: I didn’t see you in the hall.
Wen Xi suddenly realized that he was in a hurry to learn billiards and forgot to tell Yan Jue to change the venue. He smiled apologetically and his fingers flew quickly.
[Stream Becomes the Sea]: Temporary changes have come to the billiard hall.
[Streams become seas]: Wait and find it (〃'▽'〃)
[Streams become seas]: [Electronic route map of the Herdonne]
[Y.]: I have something to do right now, I'll be there in a while.
[The stream becomes the sea]: (＾-＾)
The Hedonie was about to sail, and most of the invited guests had arrived and were greeting the owner of Ni Ye and the general manager.
Cen Qin raised his glass to Boss Ni Ye, who politely left to take care of other guests.
Zheng Yuting looked around: "The waiters in this banquet hall were photographed based on their appearance, right? Why can't I see our lovely No. 19? Isn't she here?"
Yan Jue checked the electronic map, determined the location of the billiard hall, turned off the phone and said, "Wen Xi is in the billiard hall."
Cen Tan glanced at Yan Jue: "Is it agreed?"
Yan Jue handed the wine glass to the tray of the passing waiter: "Yeah."
Zheng Yuting: "I want to play billiards, too."
"Aren't you going to go racing?"
Cen Tan smiled and said, "There's no such thing as racing. It's more interesting when you're in love. It's rare for an old house to catch fire."
Zheng Yuting said with a playful smile: "I miss our little Wenxi too. We must see each other on board."
Yan Jue's pupils were dark, and he looked at Zheng Yuting without any emotion, and said in a light tone: "It's up to you."
*
There were not many people on the fourth floor, and the three of them quickly arrived at the billiard room.
The pool table diagonally opposite the door happened to be facing the corridor. As soon as Yan Jue came around, he noticed the young man at the door.
Two meters away, Yan Jue stopped and stood in the corridor, quietly watching Wen Xi who was immersed in the world of billiards.
A black leather armband tightly embraced the white shirt, the cue holder's hand was a phoenix-eye hand holder, revealing a white wrist, and the black lacquered billiard cue was played with by Wen Xi's fingertips. He half-bent over, his lips pursed in a serious manner, staring intently at the white ball in front of him, his body slightly turned, looking for the best angle between the main ball and the target ball.
Once again, Wen Xi seemed to have found the right angle. He pressed his hands against the white skin on the green surface and shook it slightly. His movements were awkward, but it was pleasing to the eye from head to toe. Wen Xi was a little nervous, but his fox eyes were focused, sharp and focused like a novice leopard hunting.
The rosy lip beads, white main ball, and black target ball are connected in a straight line.
"clatter!"
Wen Xi acted decisively and hit the bottom of the white ball with the club. The two balls did not collide and the target ball did not go into the hole!
Wen Xi, who successfully hit the white ball into the hole, was stunned for a moment, still maintaining the posture of shooting. The club turned in his hand, and his expression looked dull, as if he had not expected such a big gap between reality and imagination.
Wen Xi pursed her lips, straightened up, hugged the golf club, and sighed helplessly and pitifully.
Wen Xi had tried several times but had not scored a single goal. This shouldn't have been the case. He pursed his lips and decided to take out the cue ball and try a few more times.
Zheng Yuting thought, although Wen Xi's movements were clumsy and it was obvious that he had never touched a billiard ball, but no matter how he moved, he was pleasing to the eye. From the hair to the toes, he exuded a soft-hearted temperament, but you could feel the tenacity that could not be hidden in his bones.
Zheng Yuting subconsciously looked at Yan Jue. The other party walked to the glass door and raised his hand and knocked on the glass door seemingly casually.
Wen Xi had just put down the golf club when he heard a few crisp knocking sounds coming from not far in front of him.
Outside the billiard hall, the tall figure of the man blocked the sunlight behind him, and his reflection fell on the tip of Wenxi's finger. When he raised his eyes, a group of seabirds flew by in surprise. Wenxi met the pair of long and deep eyes. The dark pupils formed a great contrast with the white skin around them. He frowned, looking cold and calm.
His left hand with blue veins still rested on the clean glass. The posture of raising his hand caused the cuffs of his suit to retract. When he lowered his hand, the Patek Philippe on Yan Jue's wrist flashed.
Zheng Yuting looked at Wen Xi, who was worried about the billiards on the opposite side, and the corners of his eyes suddenly curled up, and even his narrow eyes widened a little with joy. His dull expression suddenly became lively, as if Yan Jue was a human-shaped battery. As long as the two of them looked into each other's eyes, the little robot that was short of electricity would instantly become energetic.
But soon, Zheng Yuting and Wen Xi's eyes met. The other party was stunned for a moment, as if he noticed later that there were two people next to the humanoid battery. The boy pursed his lips, as if he was a little shy and embarrassed, and his eyes darkened.
Wen Xi called Yan Jue "brother". Zheng Yuting was not sure whether he heard it or not. Anyway, Yan Jue should have good hearing. He walked away as soon as he finished speaking.
Zheng Yuting pulled Cen Tan's arm and said, "Did you see that? The brightness of the eyes is different."
Cen Tan: "The difference in treatment is quite big. No wonder they don't mind us coming with them."
"Who knows how happy he must be," Zheng Yuting rolled his eyes, "Let's find a table next to each other and play. Don't give him a chance to show off."
