Chapter 302 The Republic of China: The First Wife from the Countryside and the Indifferent Commander 3
Lin Zhi thought thoughtfully. The entry and exit of personnel in the Commander's Office was strictly controlled. Recently, Guan Jingchong led his troops to suppress bandits outside, and it would take four or five days before he could come back.
Guan Junzhang is now in school, having a heated fight with Han Ling. The two seemed like a couple in the eyes of teachers and students. In addition, Guan Junzhang was generous in supporting his work, and he was also happy to spend money on Han Ling. The two of them often visited various high-end clubs and foreign restaurants, drinking red wine and eating steaks, which was enviable.
In the plot, the original owner was unable to enter Guan's house and stayed outside for several days, suffering from cold and hunger. When Guan Jingchong came back, she rushed up to her and was almost killed by his men who treated her as a killer.
Fortunately, Guan Jingchong stopped in time, asked her to explain the situation, looked at the token, and then went in.
Lin Zhi didn't intend to sit back and wait. It was already September and she might get cold and sick outside. She wanted to find a place to stay first and contact Guan Jingchong in advance to leave an impression.
She glanced at the guard guarding the door with a gun, turned around and left, heading out of the street to the busiest place.
Most of the money in the family was washed away by the water, leaving only more than 20 yuan. The original owner gave half of it to her father for burial. She also spent money on the car ride all the way to Guangzhou, and now there is basically nothing left. , which is why he has been living on the streets and was almost bullied by gangsters.
So, for the time being, she has to find a job that provides food and accommodation.
However, small restaurants and other businesses are run on a small scale, and the people they recruit are relatives or acquaintances, and it is not in line with her purpose, so she will not consider it.
On the contrary, Western restaurants and clubs like Paramount are recruiting people, but Western restaurants require people to speak English or French. Although the original owner has read a book, he went to a private school and has not attended a modern school and does not understand foreign languages. This is also where Guan Junzhang looks down on her. He thinks she is a coward and cannot compare to Han Ling.
Ling Zhi herself can speak foreign languages, but when she later enters the Guan family, Guan Jingchong is cautious and will definitely check her origins.
If you find out that she has never studied, you will definitely suspect that she is up to no good.
So the western restaurant had to forget about it. As for Paramount... As soon as she stood at the door to observe, a man in a suit with slicked-down hair came over with a smile: "Little girl, are you from out of town? Did you come to seek refuge with relatives but couldn't find anyone?"
As he spoke, his eyes kept looking at her face and body, and the more he looked at her, the brighter they became.
Lin Zhi nodded: "Yes." The man became even more excited when he heard this, saying that he was short of people here. If she had no place to go for the time being, she could work here, with food and accommodation included. When she found relatives, she could leave at any time, while talking. She comes in.
After a conversation, the manager encouraged her to sing, dance, or accompany guests. She was not tired at all. As long as she chatted with the guests, her daily salary was five or six yuan. If she occasionally accompanied the guests, she could earn as much as Ten yuan, a few hundred dollars a month.
But she said she only wanted to work in the kitchen as a waiter and nothing else.
The manager's face dropped and he lost interest, so he finally let her stay. The salary was pitiful, but luckily food and accommodation were included.
She started working the next day, washing vegetables and dishes in the back kitchen. She was busy from morning to midnight, and she was so tired that her back ached, but she endured it. She rarely went to the front hall. Occasionally, I can see girls passing by, wearing bright clothes and spraying perfume, but there is no conversation.
Four or five days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, she heard the waiter who delivered the food say that the commander-in-chief had returned from suppressing bandits and had come to Paramount for dinner, and was in a private room with the big shots in the city.
It just so happens that there are so many customers today that the food delivery legs are almost broken, and there are still people rushing in front.
The chef looked around and pointed to Lin Zhi to deliver the wine. She said nothing, washed her hands and took the wine to the most luxurious box on the second floor.
Push the door and go in. There are many people sitting in the house, talking, laughing and drinking.
He lowered his head and walked over to put the wine on the table. His fingers were long and beautiful, and the tip of his chin was pretty and white. He put it down and was about to leave, but he was stopped: "Wait, stop."
Lin Zhi had no choice but to turn around and lower her head. "Raise your head."
She raised her face, revealing a beautiful face like a crescent moon, and saw the person sitting on the table. The person who spoke was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. , wearing a suit, with uncomfortable eyes. After seeing her appearance clearly, surprise flashed in her eyes.
Then he said: "Why don't you pour the commander a drink? Is this how Paramount teaches you the rules?"
Almost everyone in the room has a guest behind him. Women, there is no shortage of people to pour wine. This man obviously meant to make things difficult when he said this.
Lin Zhi said nothing and looked at the man on the main seat. He was tall, with two buttons of his shirt unbuttoned. His military uniform was casually draped on the seat. He was holding a wine glass and turning it carelessly. Half of his handsome features were under the light and half in the shadow. middle.
It seemed that the bandits had just been exterminated, and there was a smell of blood on their bodies. Several girls accompanying the guests were timid and did not dare to approach.
This is Guan Jingchong, who looks about twenty-eight, but is actually thirty-three.
He is more than ten years older than Guan Junzhang. Guan Junzhang is in his early twenties this year. He is the child of Mr. Guan’s first wife. He has been good at studies since he was a child. He joined the army at 18 or 19 and later became the commander through his ability. , he doesn't pay much attention to Guan Junzhang, his younger brother, but as a father, he will give whatever he asks for, no matter how much he asks.
I just didn’t expect to raise a Zhongshan wolf.
She stood still. The accompanying girl next to her was afraid that she would offend someone, so she pushed her and gave her a look of "hurry up." She immediately pursed her lips, picked up the wine and walked towards Guan Jingchong.
The man didn't move, so she could only lean forward and stretch her arms to pour the wine.
Revealing a section of her slender white waist, she poured the wine into the glass. She stopped at the seventh position and seemed to be relieved and ready to retreat. At this time, someone behind her suddenly stretched out her feet. Under control, she suddenly fell into the man's arms.
Guan Jingchong raised his dark eyes.
She blushed, stood up in a hurry, and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, someone tripped me, I didn't mean to..."
Men laughed loudly in the room, and the middle-aged man next to him said with a smile: "It seems that the new guy doesn't understand anything. The commander has never been interested in anyone. This one is not bad, and it's clean. Why don't we just accept it?" It would be interesting to take it back."
Ling Zhi blushed and said quickly: "I, I am not doing this, and I have a fiancé!"
< br>Others didn't care at all: "Fiancé? In this Guangzhou province, who can be better than the Marshal? As long as the Marshal likes you, you can climb up a high branch and become a phoenix. You will never have to worry about glory and wealth in your life. What do you want? ."
Ling Zhi was in a panic, with a cry in her voice: "I, I can't do it."
A group of people were booing.
At this time, Guan Jingchong raised his hand and raised his head to drink the wine in the glass. His throat rolled and he swallowed the flowing wine. He put the wine glass on the table with a soft sound and looked up. No one dared to speak for a while. .
He glanced at Lin Zhi and said, "Get out."
Ling Zhi seemed to have received an amnesty, so she quickly put down her drink and went out.
