Chapter 71 Bringing Out the Administrator
Why...why does he want to gain the recognition of these trash? Why does he want to waste his time with these trash?
"I have some different ideas." Just then, someone next to her spoke, her voice trembling: "Zhou Mo's design is amazing, but the museum needs more humanistic elements. I have prepared an alternative plan..."
Zhou Mo:!
…
With a bang, the door of the conference room was slammed shut, leaving everyone present looking at each other in surprise.
"The meeting will be suspended for ten minutes." The boss announced awkwardly and chased after him.
…
Eventually, he was forced to work with the woman to complete the project, which was well received.
However, at that moment, he realized that he was essentially no different from those trash he once looked down upon... right?
No, why should he be like those trash?
In the bar, Zhou Mo was getting drunk one drink after another when a voice appeared in his ears.
"Do you...want to be different from them?"
"Let us welcome the new world."
The above is one of the memory fragments she got from the silver-haired man.
Based on the limited clues revealed in the silver-haired man's memory, Ye Xiaoxuan successfully locked onto a bar in a corner of Nanshi city.
The bar is a bit old. At noon, the old bar was like a sleepy beast, curled up in the glaring sunlight.
In the light that seeps in through the gaps in the blinds, dust particles float slowly, like snowflakes that are being pressed into slow motion.
The whiskey spilled on the bar last night has long dried up, leaving behind circles of amber marks, like a frozen sunset.
Ye Xiaoxuan didn't expect that there would still be such an old bar in this day and age.
Nanshi is an ancient city, and the history of this bar can be traced back to the Republic of China period. During this period, it was razed once and then rebuilt, still with the same name as before. It can be regarded as a historical site in a sense.
Ye Xiaoxuan had thought about this before. Judging from the silver-haired man’s memory, the purpose of establishing the Magical Girl website was to provide energy for their “master” - that is, the manifestation of “lust” among the seven deadly sins in Ye Xiaocao’s mouth. Even Magical Girl was a title they came up with later for convenience.
But from the incident of Commissioner Wrath, it can be seen that the seven deadly sins came to the world many years ago.
In comparison, the Internet has not been popularized for a long time. So, before the Internet became popular, how did these so-called specialists absorb energy?
Now, the answer is revealed. The poor have their own ways of playing, the rich have their own ways of playing, and there are naturally ways of playing without the internet.
The air conditioner hummed, but it couldn't dispel the heavy smell of stale cigarettes and alcohol that permeated the walls.
Ye Xiaoxuan walked into the bar. In the corner, an old man in a faded shirt was sipping beer alone. Water droplets slid down the wall of the glass and spread across the newspaper in front of him.
The light in the bar was dim. Ye Xiaoxuan walked towards the bar. The air was filled with a mixture of cigarettes, alcohol, and mildew, as well as a faint smell of disinfectant.
"Give me a glass of whiskey, no need for whiskey." Looking at the bartender in front of him, Ye Xiaoxuan said sincerely.
Bartender: ...
The bartender was a man in his early thirties with handsome features.
At this moment, he was wiping the glass with a gray rag. When he heard Ye Xiaoxuan's request, his hands paused.
"Okay." He finally agreed, turned around, took a glass from the shelf, and added two ice cubes that had begun to melt.
"Here, your ice." The bartender spoke in a low and hoarse voice, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Ye Xiaoxuan: ...
He held the cup in front of him, but he didn't drink it. He just said, "I came here to ask about a man named Zhou Mo. I heard that he is a frequent visitor here."
The bartender's pupils shrank slightly, and he continued to wipe the glass that had already been polished to a shine. "Which Zhou Mo? There are a lot of people coming and going here every day."
"The one with silver hair and upturned nose." Lu Chen took out a photo of Zhou Mo from his pocket and pushed it in front of the bartender. "I am his creditor, and he still owes me money."
The bartender glanced at the photo and quickly looked away. "I can't remember."
Ye Xiaoxuan noticed the bartender's suspicion and slowly pulled out a bill from her wallet and pressed it on the photo. "Help me recall?"
The moment the red bills were taken out, Ye Xiaoxuan's movements were handsome, his eyes were firm, and he looked like a domineering president.
But at this very moment, what Ye Xiaoxuan was thinking was: Damn, so shameful, I feel like a character in a brainless skit. Ye Xiaoxuan, you've gotten better, from a social animal to someone who can act like this.
The bartender stared at the bill for a few seconds, swallowed a few times, quietly put the bill away, suddenly leaned over, lowered his voice, and said:
“Listen, I don’t know who you are and I don’t want to know. But if you’re smart, stop asking about Lao Zhou.”
"Why?" Ye Xiaoxuan did not give up and continued to ask.
The bartender stood up and looked around. There were only two drunken old men sitting in the corner of the bar, and a young man wearing a peaked cap who always had his back to the bar.
“He’s in trouble,” the bartender said, almost in a whisper. “The kind of trouble that’s contagious.”
Ye Xiaoxuan remained calm: "What trouble?"
Bartender: "Come closer and I'll tell you."
Ye Xiaoxuan smiled calmly: "Okay~"
Then, he moved his body closer.
Then there was a loud "bang". Before the bartender could attack her, Ye Xiaoxuan took the initiative and punched the bartender in the face. It was a serious punch, but it didn't break his defense.
Ye Xiaoxuan's eyes became sharp: "No need, I've already made up my mind."
She had already determined that there was something wrong with this man, so all that was left was to capture him.
"Miss, have you overlooked something?" The bartender was not in a hurry. He picked up a rag to wipe the bar. Then he snapped his fingers, and the people who were drunk around him stood up one by one.
"No, you're the one who's ignoring things."
At a signal, countless policemen surrounded the bar. She was not Guan Yu, so how could she go alone?
It wasn’t long before the whole group was caught, and an ordinary guest hid in a corner: “Didn’t see me, didn’t see me, didn’t see me.”
Woohoo, he's just a workhorse who just lost his job and went out to get drunk! Why do you treat him like this?
The sky gradually darkened, Ye Xiaoxuan watched the group of people being escorted over, and looked up at the gloomy sky. He knew that the night was far from over.
In the bar, the jukebox was silent, a thin layer of dust accumulated on the coin slot, and only the occasional hum of the refrigerator compressor broke the silence.
There was a hole in the screen over the back door and a wasp got in, banging futilely between the empty wine glasses.
The setting sun slanted into the room, illuminating the scratches on the floor that had accumulated over the years, which now looked particularly old in the silence.
