Afterwards, I looked down at Zhang Wei, who was sleeping soundly in my arms. My arm was already a little numb under her pillow, but I didn’t dare to pull it away easily.
A complex guilt surged in my heart. He had obviously warned himself not to provoke her, but why...
At this moment, the mobile phone screen suddenly lit up on the bedside, and the vibrating sound was particularly abrupt in the silent room.
It was Wang Qiuya who called me.
I glanced at Zhang Wei subconsciously, took out my arm, walked to the window and answered the phone.
"Come and take me to the bar." Wang Qiuya's voice came from the receiver.
"I'll be there soon!" I responded in a low voice and hung up the phone.
I looked back at the bed. Zhang Wei was still sleeping deeply, and I picked up the clothes scattered on the ground.
When I walked to the door, I couldn't help but look back.
Not long after, I came to the villa area where Wang Qiuya was.
She was very sexy in a black suspender dress tonight.
Wang Qiuyala opened the door and got into the passenger seat. She glanced at my elbow, which was still bandaged, and asked, "Are you fighting someone again?"
"It's a small matter." I turned the steering wheel and drove onto the main road without explaining much.
She was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "How are you doing with the new site?"
“The venue and equipment have been completed, but it is now difficult to recruit riders.” So far, there are only five riders, which is still far from the number of people for normal operations.
"Do you need me to help you contact some labor agencies?" Wang Qiuya asked.
"No need for now, I'll think of a way." I declined her proposal.
I didn’t mention a word about the conflict with the Northwest Wind Restaurant. After all, it was my personal grudge and I could resolve it myself.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the door of the half-awake bar. I opened the door for Wang Qiuya and walked in together.
Unlike usual, the bar tonight was surprisingly deserted.
There were only a few guests at the bar, the dance floor was empty, and it had lost the usual intensity that could shake the chest.
The reason is well known to everyone. The newly opened large nightclub a few streets away is like a magnet, attracting most of the young hipsters.
Wang Qiuya is a regular customer here. As soon as the waiter saw her, he enthusiastically guided her to the best booth.
As soon as we sat down, before the drinks could be served, a figure walked straight over.
It was Mrs. Li, the major shareholder of this bar. She briefly greeted Wang Qiuya.
His eyes briefly stayed on me for a moment, and then returned to Wang Qiuya.
Mrs. Li did not exchange pleasantries and went directly to the topic: "Qiu Ya, you told me last time that you wanted to buy this bar, are you still interested now?"
I had known that Wang Qiuya was interested in this bar, but under the current situation, it is undoubtedly a hot potato to take over.
But I am just a driver, this is not something I should interrupt, so I just stood aside silently.
Wang Qiuya picked up the red wine that was just delivered and swung the glass: "Of course there is interest, but the price is..."
Tai Li immediately took over the conversation: "If you are really interested, let's make an appointment to talk in detail. As for the price, it's easy to talk about!"
I listened to the conversation between the two, thinking silently in my mind.
For a business of the size of a half-awake bar, the initial investment would be around 20 million at least.
This store has been operating for many years, and the capital has been recovered long ago. In the past few years, when the business was booming, it was making money every day.
It’s just that the economy has been sluggish in the past few years and consumption has been downgraded. The number of people willing to come to such high-consumption places has dropped by half.
Mrs. Li waved to the waiter and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
After a while, the waiter brought a bottle of wine.
Li Tai smiled and clinked glasses with Wang Qiuya: "You guys play slowly, I'll go greet other friends first." After saying that, he turned around and left the booth.
Wang Qiuya felt obviously happy when she heard that Li Taisong was willing to transfer.
She drank several drinks in succession. When a rhythmic dance music played, Wang Qiuya suddenly grabbed my wrist.
"Let's go dance!" Without waiting for my response, she pulled me towards the empty dance floor.
Wang Qiuya swayed gently to the beat, and soon she was completely immersed in the music.
I was a little surprised to find that she seemed to be a different person when she came to the dance floor. The calm and decisive female domineering person she usually was always disappeared.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning, when the bar was about to close, that I helped Wang Qiuya out and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back."
She had drank a little too much in the evening and was already drunk at the moment, and her originally clear eyes had become blurry.
Wang Qiuya let me support her and walked out, almost hanging in my arms.
I carefully helped her sit in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.
She closed her eyes and unconsciously hummed the melody from the bar just now.
"Fortunately, I am with her. A woman who is drunk like this can easily be picked up."
I have seen the news that some malicious people will guard the door of the bar and take away drunk and single women when they encounter them.
When we returned to the villa area, I called her softly: "Mr. Wang, we are here!"
Wang Qiuya leaned softly in the seat and did not even have the strength to unbuckle her seat belt.
I could only get out of the car and go around to the passenger side to open the door and take Wang Qiuya out of the car.
She weighs about a little over a hundred pounds, and this weight is nothing to me.
I carried Wang Qiuya into the bedroom and placed her on the large bed.
She seemed to be startled. She opened her eyes in a daze, but her arms were wrapped around her like vines.
"Don't go..." She murmured vaguely.
The temptation at this moment almost made me lose my mind. I did have a chance to stay. She was unprepared at this moment, and it could even be said that she was taking the initiative.
But I still broke her hand, turned around and found a piece of pajamas that Wang Qiuya often wore from the closet, and put it on for her.
Wang Qiuya hummed a few times during the process, but did not really wake up.
After changing into pajamas, I pulled the quilt to cover her, and stood by the bed and looked at her for a moment.
In the end, I turned around and left. Maybe I felt that it was not good to take advantage of Wang Qiuya when she was drunk.
At the beginning of a new day, I was already standing at the door of the site.
Although there are only five riders under his command now, there are still indispensable rules.
"Let's not talk nonsense today, let's talk about the real stuff."
"First, don't stare at the navigation during the peak period of food delivery."
I took out my mobile phone to demonstrate, "For example, in Century City, the navigation will let you take a long way around. In fact, you go from the back door of the community. You can save five minutes if you go through it..."
I looked at the time and finally added, "Safety first, the platform has a no-running red light activity. If you don't run a red light for a week, you can get a reward of 588 yuan."
This is a very good extra income for newcomers.
After the morning meeting ended, the site gradually became quiet, and he was lowering his head to reply to messages about wanting to apply for a rider today.
Zhang Wei was late today. She walked up to me and asked softly: "What time did you leave last night?"
I continued to reply to the message on the recruitment website: "About eight or nine. I saw that you were sleeping very deeply, so I didn't wake you up."
Zhang Wei pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right...last night was the best night I slept."
