The two approached the private room and saw two bodyguards in black windbreakers, one sitting and one standing outside the intricately gilded door.
The one standing was estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall, and the one sitting was over 1.8 meters tall. They were both sturdy and not ugly in appearance.
Cheng Ji quickly scanned the situation and pondered over his battle plan. His chances of winning were about 30%, provided that the two bodyguards could not attack together.
Manager Zhou nodded and greeted the two bodyguards, who understood and opened the door.
Inside was a gorgeous small round hall with an area of no more than ten square meters. There was a door on the inside of the hall. Manager Zhou walked forward and knocked on it with certain strength.
—One minute left on the plot.
The administrator was so diligent that Cheng Ji couldn't help but pick his ears.
After a few seconds, a man inside asked loudly, "Who is it?"
Manager Zhou said, "It's me, Xiao Zhou. I brought people here."
"Come in." said the person inside.
Manager Zhou gave Cheng Ji a look, which roughly expressed his original intention, asking him to be more careful.
The two men pushed the door open and closed it behind them.
Inside the door was a suite with a living room, dining room, two bedrooms, a western kitchen, and several bathrooms. The manager led Cheng Ji to stand in the living room, waiting for the people inside to come out.
The first one to come out was a slippery-looking guy with a slicked-back hair, a slicked-back chin, and dark circles under his eyes that showed signs of indulgence.
Cheng Ji felt uncomfortable when he saw him, but he didn't show it. He lowered his head and stood behind Manager Zhou.
The guy's eyes were like rollers, rolling from the top of Cheng Ji's head along his cheeks, chest, abdomen, buttocks and legs to his heels, and then rolling a few more times along his waistline.
Cheng Ji felt nauseous in his throat and his eyes were fixed on the trouser leg of Manager Zhou in front of him.
"New here?" the man asked slyly.
Manager Zhou said carefully: "Yes, it's the first time for people."
The man said, "Why are you dressed like this? It's so ugly. Let alone the first time, even the hundredth time would be too little. Look at it yourself, don't you feel disgusted?"
Manager Zhou said: "It's my fault. I didn't do a good job."
"Qi Shaote hates this, don't you know?"
"I know." Manager Zhou said tactfully, "I'll ask him to wash his face and change his clothes right away."
"Don't change it." Hualiuliu said, "People need fate to be together, so it's all about the first impression. Let the child go down and rest. You should pay more attention in the future, especially to the child brought to Mr. Qi. Fortunately, I stopped you here, otherwise you would be asking for trouble, wouldn't you?"
Manager Zhou said, yes, yes, yes.
Cheng Ji felt nauseous in his heart, but still didn't look up. Suddenly, the voice of the plot manager made him nervous.
—Ten seconds left until the protagonist appears. Please prepare your lines.
nineteen…
Manager Zhou said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu. I didn't do my job well. I won't do it again next time."
… six…
"Go down," said the slippery man.
… three, two, one
zero.
A tall man in a grey shirt walked out of the room. Even if the administrator hadn't reminded him, Cheng Ji could tell that this was the protagonist, because he was so handsome and unforgettable. However, the look in his eyes was even more uncomfortable than that of a slippery one.
It only took Cheng Ji half a second to scan the man and concluded that he could beat him, but he didn't want to.
He instinctively disliked this man, just as a wolf instinctively dislikes another wolf of the same kind who is intimidating. As long as the other party does not invade its territory, it can tolerate its arrogant march across the border because the cost of fighting is too high.
Manager Zhou called out in a servant-like voice: "Hello, Mr. Qi."
Then he turned around, gave Cheng Ji a push, and said softly, "Say hello."
He is not a father but a mama-san. His submissive posture and flattering tone are no different from those of a brothel madam who introduces girls to her patrons.
—Please speak your lines. The plot manager reminded.
Cheng Ji asked himself: How do I explain it
—You can say whatever the supporting character named Zhou tells you to say. This is your first line and also the only conversation with the protagonist named Qi.
Cheng Ji lowered his head and said, "Hello, Mr. Qi."
His voice was a little hoarse, the volume was not loud, and his tone was inevitably awkward. After he finished speaking, he secretly asked the plot manager: Is this okay
The administrator did not comment.
After hearing this greeting, the man named Qi on the opposite side frowned, didn't even look at him, and waved his hand to tell him and Manager Zhou to get out.
Manager Zhou was very straightforward. He bowed slightly and left the private room with Cheng Ji.
Cheng Ji took one last look at the man named Qi and only saw the angular lines on his face from the side. Maybe he was quite charming in the eyes of others, but Cheng Ji was not someone else.
The luxurious gilded wooden door closed behind them. Manager Zhou pulled Cheng Ji and walked quickly. After turning the corner, he told the truth only after he was sure that the bodyguards couldn't hear him.
"Don't pay attention to what that Wu said. They are just people who take advantage of others' power and use chicken feathers as a token of authority."
Cheng Ji said: "I don't care."
Manager Zhou said, "Cheng Cheng, don't blame me for dressing you up like this, I did it on purpose."
Cheng Ji didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Manager Zhou saw that there was no one around, so he pulled him behind the pillar and whispered, "This Qi, Qi Beisong, looks good, doesn't he? But he's actually very difficult to serve, and you can't handle him without some skills. Because this is your first time, I absolutely cannot send you in, or else you'll say something wrong and piss him off, and you won't be able to survive in this business, let alone the rest of your life!"
Cheng Ji opened his mouth and stared at him, his face turning pale.
Manager Zhou continued, "You are a young, clean newcomer, and he is the top master. I have to send your fresh and tender meat to his mouth first. Only if he doesn't eat it can others have a turn. So I have to resort to this last resort. You may look ugly today, but it is safe. Do you understand?"
"..." Cheng Ji nodded slowly, "I understand, thank you."
Manager Zhou smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'll bring someone else up later. He's quite picky, and he won't play every time he comes. If he can't find someone, he won't play. You go back first, and when I finish my work here, I'll find you someone older, who's not a big deal, gentle and considerate. Some old customers are quite caring..."
Before they could finish their words, someone passed by them.
"Stop!" Manager Zhou shouted.
The other person turned around in surprise. It was a fair and handsome waiter in his early twenties, about the same height as Cheng Ji, with a thin waist and narrow hips.
"Who are you?" Manager Zhou asked.
When the other party saw the name tag on Manager Zhou's chest, his pretty face flushed and he said, "I... I'm a waiter at the bar."
Manager Zhou thought the man looked unfamiliar: "Is this your first day at work?"
The other party nodded.
"Who will take you?"
"Brother Mao."
Manager Zhou asked suspiciously, "Did Mao Xiaowei ask you to come here?"
The waiter said, "Brother Mao said room 388 needed a bottle of red wine, but he couldn't send anyone to do it, so he asked me to bring it up."
Manager Zhou shook his head and frowned, saying, "Tsk, the management over there is really messed up. Newbies just rush into the VIP room at will. Okay, okay, go in, and come out quickly after serving the red wine. Don't be a nuisance in there!"
The waiter nodded timidly and continued walking forward.
The plot manager who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke in Cheng Ji's ear, scaring him so much that he shivered.
—Protagonist No. 2 enters the scene, countdown is thirty seconds.
Cheng Ji was shocked and asked secretly: What? This is the protagonist? !
—Yes, this is the second protagonist Shen Zimo. Cheng Ji, your existence is to set off his pure and unique temperament.
…Fuck you! !
How to talk to the prince
Cheng Ji vomited a mouthful of blood!
Protagonist No. 2 has already walked to the door, explained his purpose to the bodyguards, obtained permission to enter, and then took a few deep breaths and prepared to knock on the door.
Introduction by the plot manager: The second protagonist, Shen Zimo, is a bar waiter who works and studies. He is an illegitimate child, his mother died young, and he grew up in an orphanage. He has a cheerful and kind personality, and is gentle but stubborn. His dream is to open a flower shop, and today is his first day at work.
Cheng Ji asked: What will happen if he goes in
—The plot progresses.
How to advance
—Being controlled, taken away, and locked up at home.
"!!"
Cheng Ji was shocked and asked quickly: Why restrict his personal freedom? He is also a butt seller? !
—No. He was locked up because he angered Protagonist No. 1 due to a misunderstanding and a verbal conflict.
Cheng Ji stopped suddenly!
Manager Zhou walked forward slowly for more than ten steps before realizing that he was not following him, so he turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Cheng Ji gnashed his teeth and asked: Administrator, what the hell is this novel? Going to jail for a quarrel? Why don't you play by the rules?!
—Danmei, strong attack and weak defense, CEO, forced love, sadomasochism, the original name is "Crazy and Sadistic Love: The Concubine of a Rich Family", the beginning plot of this novel is: Shen Zimo mistakenly enters the private room of Qi Beisong, the president of Hongsheng Group, and is then forced into love and tortured both mentally and physically.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ji staggered and almost fell to his knees!
What is a concubine? I can’t digest so much information at once. I feel like I have some stomach acid reflux. Anyway, fuck | your grandma’s bullshit pornographic literature!!!
Cheng Ji was furious and turned to walk back, but Manager Zhou grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?!"
"Something is going to happen to that waiter just now!" Cheng Ji said in the same low voice.
Manager Zhou looked at him deeply, a gleam of light flashing under his featureless single eyelids.
"Something will happen to that person!" Cheng Ji was anxious.
Manager Zhou said slowly: "I know something might happen to him, because Qi Beisong likes this type of people the most."
Cheng Ji's eyes were burning with anger, and he asked, "Then why didn't you stop it?!"
"I've already reminded him to come out after delivering the wine and not to stay in the room." Manager Zhou said calmly, "He works for the bar and is not my responsibility. I don't know why Mao Xiaowei sent him here. Maybe Qi Beisong called him there. If I stop him, wouldn't that be meddling in other people's business?"
"He wasn't called by Qi Beisong!" Cheng Ji gritted his teeth.
"So what?"
Cheng Ji said: "You won't stop it, right? Then I'll stop it!"
Manager Zhou grabbed him and scolded him with a dark face: "What do you think of yourself, you little brat? Even if he will suffer after entering, you dare to ruin Young Master Qi's good deeds? Are you worthy? Cheng Ji, I warn you, if you don't control your paranoia, don't even think about working under me in the future! Don't forget that your mother is in urgent need of medical expenses, think about her!! "
Cheng Ji said, but...
Manager Zhou laughed again, gave him a candy after beating him with the stick, hooked his arm around his shoulder and said, "Let's go. Don't meddle in other people's business. Whether there was a crime or just some fun stuff in room 388, or if nothing happened it would be better. Don't ask about it anymore, because that's Qi Beisong in there, the kind of guy who kills people and sets fires and no one cares!"
Cheng Ji was forcibly dragged away, all the way to a small private room in the employee rest area, where he sat down with his shoulders held down.
Manager Zhou also specifically told Lele, "Keep an eye on him and don't let him walk around or talk nonsense."
Lele asked: "What happened to him?"
Manager Zhou laughed and said, "This kid is actually a bit rebellious."
As soon as Manager Zhou left, Cheng Ji impatiently pushed Lele away.
"Cheng Cheng, what did you do just now?" Lele asked.
Cheng Ji ignored him and asked the plot manager in his mind: What will happen to the second protagonist after he is locked up at home by the man named Qi
The plot manager said it bluntly: humiliated, betrayed, imprisoned, expelled, and abused.
No one cares about him
—No one cares, this is a BL novel that starts off sad but ends up being sweet.
Okay, if no one cares, then I will.
Cheng Ji jumped up and moved his joints. The crime was happening right under his nose. How could he ignore it? Even if he was going to hang himself later, he had to take care of this matter first!
"Cheng Cheng?" Lele looked up in confusion.
"LeLe." Cheng Ji said, "It's too hot here. I feel a little dizzy. I want to go out for a while."
"But Manager Zhou won't let you go out."
The plot manager seemed to have anticipated the sequel, and alarm bells rang in Cheng Ji's ears:
—Plot deviation warning for the first time. Insignificant supporting character Cheng Ji, please sit down.
Insignificant? Cheng Ji sneered. He didn't care what the rules of this world were, nor did he care about the contradictory plot of this weird novel. He only believed that no one would be insignificant!
He whispered to Lele, "If Manager Zhou comes to see me later, just tell him I'm going out for a cigarette."
"Ah? I never heard that you can smoke." Lele said.
"But I really want to smoke now."
Lele said: "Then just smoke here and don't go out!"
"I feel very nervous. I want to find a place with wind and smoke a cigarette to calm down." Cheng Ji asked expectantly, "Just ten minutes, let me go, we are brothers, right?"
"We are sisters!" Lele corrected.
"Okay, okay, we're sisters." Cheng Ji said, "Sister, I really want to smoke!"
"You're younger than me!"
"Okay, I'm your sister!"
Lele was still not alert and let go of his hand.
Cheng Ji did not go out immediately, but walked behind the door to check the emergency evacuation map.
Reading maps and identifying directions are among his basic skills. In addition, he can quickly memorize terrain within a few minutes and can outline the shape of the mountain in his mind when seeing a contour map.
Now he knew how to bypass the bodyguards and break into room 388 from the outside.
He left the room, walked through the dimly lit corridor, and entered the staff bathroom. Without any hesitation, he picked up a pair of pliers behind the bathroom door, pushed open the window, and climbed out.
This is the first floor, the target is on the third floor.
