008. Meet again
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
Wei Yuhuan gradually forgot about the little crab. Although he would still feel a little regretful when it was late at night and he felt lonely, he would no longer feel as resentful as when the incident first happened.
Just when Wei Yuhuan was about to completely forget about this person, Shao Yongyang called him.
"Hey, do you still remember the thief who secretly lived in your house and ran away? I think I saw him yesterday!"
"Oh?" Wei Yuhuan was a little surprised, but he didn't show much excitement. Instead, he asked calmly, "Where did you see it?"
Shao Yongyang: "Just about to bloom!"
Wei Yuhuan was stunned. The name "Blooming in Bud" did not sound like a good place. Yes, it was a nightclub, a place of entertainment with singing, drinking, bathing and massage, and health care as its main services.
Wei Yuhuan doesn't play with women, but he usually communicates with various business partners and knows them a little bit.
The girls working in the service industry at "Hanbao Yufang" do not have high overall quality, and many of them are migrant workers with decent looks. However, they are young and pretty, and are very popular among some nouveau riche and local tyrants.
There are countless nightclubs of all sizes in City S. Although "Blooming in Bud" is not as high-end as "Linglong Pavilion" and "Jujin Club", it is also well-known.
But Wei Yuhuan was puzzled. How could the little crab, a man, appear in such a place? Could it be that he went there to find a lady
He frowned and asked Shao Yongyang: "Are you sure? Are you sure?"
Shao Yongyang said anxiously: "Fuck, I even asked Qi Muying for photos to compare, the nose is the nose, the eyes are the eyes, they are exactly the same, there is absolutely no mistake!"
When Wei Yuhuan thought about the fact that the innocent-looking little thing actually went to visit a prostitute, his impression of him was greatly reduced!
But Shao Yongyang was still waiting for his reply. Wei Yuhuan felt inexplicably annoyed, "What is he doing there?" He asked this question just to confirm. If it was really as he thought, then he would not be interested at all.
Shao Yongyang said happily: "He is the 'gate boy' there!"
Wei Yuhuan: “…”
To put it simply, this "doorman" is the person who stands at the door to greet customers. The ladies naturally cannot just gather at the door to receive customers, as that would be inappropriate. And for such a big store, even if the boss has three heads and six arms, he cannot receive all the customers, so a "doorman" is needed.
They are generally smart, good-looking young men who can talk and laugh. They know how to flatter guests when they see them. Then they lead the guests into the door according to their needs and take them to the area or box they want to go to.
Wei Yuhuan thought that the little crab looked so harmless and had an innocent smile, it was really suitable for this position!
Shao Yongyang added: "I also asked around for you. He works four days a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, from 6pm to 6am. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Well, after hearing what Shao Yongyang said, Wei Yuhuan became a little eager again.
"That means he'll be at work tomorrow, right? Okay, I don't have anything to do tomorrow night, so I'll go check it out."
The next day, Shao Yongyang also called Qi Muying, and the three of them had dinner together before going to watch the fun.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the lights were turned on, and the "budding" gilded gate was decorated with flowers and flashing neon lights, exuding an intoxicating atmosphere.
The car they drove that night was Shao Yongyang's flashy blue Porsche. As soon as the car slid into the entrance of the parking lot, a boy at the gate ran out to greet them. Coincidentally, the person who came out to greet them was the one Shao Yongyang mentioned.
Wei Yuhuan sat in the passenger seat, rolled down the window, rested his elbows on the window sill, and stared straight at the young man jogging towards him.
As he got closer, the man's eyebrows, eyes, and facial features became clearer and clearer, just like Wei Yuhuan's dusty memories were wiped clean and restored to their original state.
"Boss, come here, park the car here... pour a little more..." The other party's Mandarin has a special accent from northern Jiangsu, but fortunately his voice is clear and natural, with a unique youthful flavor.
This was the first time that Wei Yuhuan heard the little crab's voice. In the past, he had no good impression of people who spoke with an accent, but this person's words suddenly entered his ears, bringing sunshine and warmth, making him feel comfortable all over.
As soon as the car stopped, the doorman was very tactful and opened the door for the person in the back seat first, welcomed Qi Muying out, and then went around to open the door of the passenger seat. "Boss, is this your first time here? I haven't seen you before!" Little Crab saw that Wei Yuhuan was a stranger and greeted him eagerly.
"Hmm." Wei Yuhuan snorted. This was the first time he saw a little crab in real life. He was 187 cm tall and the crab was only as tall as his nose. It looked so thin and small that it seemed as if he could catch it with one hand.
At this moment, Wei Yuhuan felt an indescribable excitement all over his body, as if the disappeared prey had come into his sight again, so close that the lazy hunter could not help but concentrate his attention.
Shao Yongyang had already noticed the change in Wei Yuhuan's expression, and knowing that he was not wrong, he winked at Qi Muying smugly.
"This boss has never been to this place, you have to introduce it to him." Shao Yongyang said to the boy at the door with a smile.
It’s not that I haven’t been here before, it’s just that I haven’t been here for a long time.
Wei Yuhuan's company also has a special public relations department to receive partners. Unless the other party is of the same scale as Huanyu and has senior management, it will be Mr. Wei's turn to receive them personally. But Wei Yuhuan will not bring "Hanbao" to such people, but will go to more upscale places.
The doorman listened to Shao Yongyang's instructions and nodded and said, "That's a must. Boss, what kind of activities do you like? We have a lot of activities here. Do you want to eat or take a shower? Do you want to play cards?..."
"Will you help me take a bath?" Wei Yuhuan asked with a smile.
Shao Yongyang almost spit out his anger and glanced at his old friend with contempt. Tsk, he's already making dirty jokes before he even enters the door. What will happen later
Qi Muying also turned his head and smiled secretly.
The doorman was stunned by the question, but he didn't realize the deep meaning of Wei Yuhuan's words. He thought the other party was joking: "If I don't serve, how can it be my turn? Hehe, we have ladies. Our 'sisters' are all beauties. The massage is also very comfortable. You will know if you try it, boss~~" When he said the last sentence, he lowered his head very appropriately, showing an embarrassed expression.
If he were a normal straight man, he would have been aroused by these two sentences and would have wanted to rush in to see how beautiful the "sister" inside was and how comfortable the massage was. But Wei Yuhuan is not like that, he is gay.
Along the way, his focus was completely on the little guy beside him. Hearing the other party shyly say those few words just now, his long-silent heart was aroused and jumped.
How long had it been since he had felt this way? Wei Yuhuan couldn't remember clearly, and now he just wanted to laugh out loud!
It was really God's will that he had sent someone to him. Today he had to settle the score with this little thing!
It was about a hundred meters from the parking lot to the main entrance. Along the way, the little thing chattered and introduced everything it could.
Wei Yuhuan didn't respond, but in the end he asked, "What's your name?"
The doorman immediately said, "My name is Xie Xiaojiang. Boss, you can call me Xiao Xie or Xiao Jiang!"
Some regular customers who come here sometimes ask the doorman's name out of habit after seeing him many times, but this is the first time Xie Xiaojiang has seen a customer who asks his name when they meet for the first time.
He looked up at the man curiously. Just now, the lights in the parking lot were dim and the customer was tall, so he didn't pay much attention to him. But now he took a closer look - hey, this money man is really good-looking, with a dignified bearing. How could he come to prostitutes with this appearance? You really can't judge a person by appearance!
At this moment, Wei Yuhuan suddenly lowered his head to look at him. When their eyes met, Xie Xiaojiang was startled by the other's sharp gaze and slightly ambiguous smile.
Being good at observing people's words and expressions is a necessary skill for every doorman. If you don't have any sense, you may offend the boss by accident in your words and actions, and then you won't know how you died.
Xie Xiaojiang avoided his gaze in a panic, thinking to himself, has this guest ever seen me before? Why did he look so strange just now
After entering the main entrance of Hanbao, the lobby manager saw Shao Yongyang and immediately came up to him, "Hey, Mr. Shao, you are here! Welcome, welcome!" This is their "Hanbao is about to bloom" distinguished guest, with a lot of money, few problems, wide connections, and frequent patrons! When meeting a distinguished guest, the lobby manager will of course not hesitate to flatter and personally receive him!
"Mr. Shao has brought his friends here again. It's such an honor. Come, introduce these two bosses to me so I can get to know them!" The lobby manager took a look at the two of them and quickly figured out which of the three was the real rich sponsor. He immediately took out a good cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Wei Yuhuan first.
Wei Yuhuan took the cigarette, nodded, and kept silent, letting Shao Yongyang handle the food himself.
Shao Yongyang said, "Manager Wang, you are too polite. This is my buddy who grew up with me. His last name is Wei, Boss Wei. The guy next to him is also a friend I have known for several years. Mr. Qi, we are here today just to relax, drink tea and chat. Please arrange a private room for us and find a girl to serve us."
"Okay!" The manager asked the waiter to pick the best private room.
"Wait," Wei Yuhuan looked around and pointed at the little crab that had unknowingly retreated a few steps. "I think this guy I just brought in is quite attractive to me. Let him come in and make some tea."
Xie Xiaojiang, who was about to quietly retreat, said: "..."
"Uh, are you talking about Xiao Xie?" The manager scratched his head, thinking that Wei Yuhuan didn't know much about their situation, and explained to him a little awkwardly, "Boss Wei, Xiao Jiang works outside as a receptionist and doesn't know how to make tea. Don't worry, I will find you a smarter girl later!"
Xie Xiaojiang also nodded desperately. Out of his "wild animal" intuition, he always felt that this Wei was not a good person, so he subconsciously wanted to stay away from this person.
Wei Yuhuan raised an eyebrow and acted as if to say, "Why are you opening a store if you can't even meet these requirements?"
Without saying a word, Shao Yongyang pulled out his wallet from his trouser pocket and took out a stack of money. Judging from the thickness, it must be at least one or two thousand yuan. He handed it directly to Manager Wang, then raised his chin in the direction of Xie Xiaojiang.
Manager Wang is knowledgeable and experienced, and he understood it immediately!
It is estimated that this customer surnamed Wei is a man-hunter. Xiao Xie is indeed cute. He only asked him to make tea and did not make any other excessive requests. Moreover, Boss Wei knew that they did not provide that kind of service, so he would not deliberately make things difficult for them.
These thoughts took only a second. Manager Wang walked towards Xie Xiaojiang, and behind Shao Yongyang and others, he took out half of the stack of money and stuffed it into Xie Xiaojiang's hand. He winked at him and said, "Go in and sit with Boss Wei."
Xie Xiaojiang was still a little dazed, his eyes were wide open, and his face seemed to say "I don't receive customers": "Manager, I don't know how to make tea..." He had never encountered such a thing in all his time working at Hanbao!
Wei Yuhuan turned to him and said with a smile: "I don't need you to make tea, just come in and chat casually."
Xie Xiaojiang: “…”
Manager Wang glared at him. It seemed that if Xie Xiaojiang didn't agree, he would be in trouble.
Xie Xiaojiang held the thick roll of money, gritted his teeth, and thought, OK, you have money, you are the father! I am not a woman, why should I be afraid? Let's go!
