After briefly filtering through it, Ling Feng turned off the TV, figuring he still had not fully woken up.
After cleaning up the trash, Ling Feng prepared to go sell tea eggs.
Ding!
In the middle of his work, Ling Feng heard the doorbell ring.
Who was knocking this early in the morning? Could it be Old Wang?
With a trace of confusion, Ling Feng opened the door and immediately saw a familiar face.
"Hello! Good morning, Ling Feng!"
Cloverleaf Tavern
"Qiu... Qiu?"
Ling Feng did not react at first.
Today, Qiu Yun'er wore a simple plain white long brocade top. Beneath her blue plaid skirt were a pair of long, snow-white legs, making her look pure and adorable.
Ling Feng was just about to speak when Qiu Yun'er spoke first.
"Ling Feng, I have a part-time job. What do you think? Want to come with me? The pay is decent, and having another person means we can look out for each other."
"Please say yes, Ling Feng. Among everyone I know, you're the only one I trust."
Qiu Yun'er's pitiful expression left Ling Feng somewhat speechless.
Still, it moved him a little. Being trusted by someone else truly felt fulfilling.
Just think about it—who in this world would not want to earn someone else's trust?
"What about Ye Yiren? Isn't she usually always with you?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yi Ren said she was going to save the world."
Qiu Yun'er directly repeated Ye Yiren's own words. It sounded absurd, yet somehow full of ideals.
"So what exactly is the job?"
Ling Feng had already planned to go out and sell tea eggs, but now another option had appeared.
If it was reasonable, he was not unwilling to accept it.
"Then let's go take a look."
"Great, Ling Feng! I'll take you there."
Ling Feng followed Qiu Yun'er to an intersection, where they got into a taxi together.
Naturally, Qiu Yun'er paid the fare, since Ling Feng had not originally planned on taking another part-time job.
Was that just unnecessary?
After passing several intersections and making a few turns, they arrived.
Ling Feng had not paid attention to the destination before getting in, but it did not matter. He would know once they got there.
After getting out of the car, Ling Feng casually glanced up and saw several large words overhead.
"Clover Bar?"
"That's right. Let's go in."
Qiu Yun'er grabbed Ling Feng's hand and pulled him inside.
Since it was morning, there were not many people inside. Several waiters were cleaning.
When one waitress saw Qiu Yun'er, she happily greeted her.
"Little Qiu, hey, who's this handsome guy? Your boyfriend?"
The speaker was a waitress who looked to be around thirty, and she was wiping down a table.
Qiu Yun'er's pretty face immediately reddened.
"Sister Zhang!"
"Alright, alright. The young man is here to apply for a job, right? Little Qiu, take him around and let him have a look. If he likes it, he can go straight to the boss."
The waitress called Sister Zhang casually joked.
She had worked here for quite a few years.
From the way she spoke with the other staff, it seemed her status among them was fairly high, and she got along well with everyone.
Qiu Yun'er took Ling Feng around the bar. Honestly, the environment was quite nice.
Ling Feng's impression of bars still seemed inseparable from the cliché of flashing lights and indulgence, but bars actually came in many different forms.
Semicircular ceramic tiles in varying shades of blue formed a highly dynamic bar counter. Against the deep navy background, it looked dignified without losing its liveliness.
The mirrored ceiling faintly reflected the scene below. The warm yellow lighting stretched out long, layer upon layer, like reflections on an ordinary expanse of water.
The originally simple design suddenly became rich and luxurious.
Ling Feng did not really want to do the job. After all, a rare vacation should be spent enjoying himself.
Qiu Yun'er had asked him about it, and Ling Feng agreed to work here with her for one day. Since he was already here, he could treat it as experiencing life.
By evening, Clover Bar gradually revealed its true nature.
Powerful drumbeats, noisy crowds, seductive and sexy women, and young, crazed men. Even the corners were filled with the clinking of glasses and unrestrained howls of laughter.
Ling Feng and the others were mainly responsible for serving drinks.
The drinking companions were mostly attractive women. Every one of them dressed very sexily, and their pay was also quite high. They could earn tens of thousands in a single night.
Ling Feng did not care. As he had said, if it were not for making a living...
Inside the private room, the music was explosive yet refreshing like a waterfall, while the red wine was alluring and irresistible.
Only then did Ling Feng notice that another new face had joined.
He remembered this person.
"Isn't this the girl I saved from a group of thugs a few nights ago? So she works here."
Ling Feng fell into thought.
Lin Ruoxi naturally noticed Ling Feng as well, but since he had not transformed, she did not recognize him.
She had her own work to do and had no time to care about such things.
Bars often had new employees, and students often came to work part-time. It was nothing unusual.
Just then, Lin Ruoxi received a notification from the boss. Young Master Li in Private Room No. 1 wanted her to go over and drink with him.
The boss said that if she was lucky, she might soar to great heights and become someone above others.
Lin Ruoxi worked as a drinking companion because the pay was high. Her mother's surgery required a large sum in medical expenses, and she had no other choice.
Young Master Li was also a notorious playboy in Linzhou City.
All she hoped was that this Young Master Li would not do anything too outrageous.
Otherwise, even if she died, Lin Ruoxi would never let him have his way.
Let Go of That Girl!
"Young Master Li, I heard you've been pursuing this Lin Ruoxi for quite some time."
"Hehe, just wait and see. I'll have her tonight!"
"Then we should congratulate you in advance, Young Master Li. We've helped you so much, so don't forget us when the time comes."
"Haha, don't worry. Follow me, and I'll make sure you eat well and drink well!"
At the center of the group, the leader known as Young Master Li wore a formal suit.
His hairstyle was neat, and he was impeccably dressed. If he were out in public, people would probably think he was the owner of some large company.
Young Master Li's real name was Li Juncheng. He was considered an influential figure in Linzhou City. His father was Li Tianming, chairman of the Shengtian Grand Hotel, with a net worth close to ten million.
Li Juncheng only needed to eat, drink, and enjoy himself now. Later, he could simply go back and inherit assets worth tens of millions, far better off than college graduates who had just entered the workforce.
Those familiar with him knew he had already ruined countless innocent girls. He often drove his BMW 830 around various university districts.
With a luxury car worth a million, those college girls would willingly get in. Then he only needed to give them a Chanel bag worth tens of thousands, and women would be his to play with as he pleased.
Until one day, he encountered a girl named Lin Ruoxi at Clover Bar. This pure and adorable girl immediately caught Li Juncheng's attention.
Li Juncheng had pursued her for some time, but Lin Ruoxi rejected him every time. A few nights ago, he had even specifically sent people to abduct her.
By today, he could no longer endure it. If Lin Ruoxi rejected him again this time, he was prepared to use force!
The main issue was that among the few people who had returned earlier, one of them had somehow gotten all his fingers broken. Li Juncheng had paid a substantial amount in medical expenses, and that nonsense about a knife-wielding girl was obviously just an excuse!
Bang!
At that moment, the door to the private room slowly opened.
Lin Ruoxi walked in carrying a tray of drinks, her eyes full of vigilance.
Although she worked as a drinking companion, Lin Ruoxi still insisted on wearing an ordinary staff uniform skirt.
She was in her first year of high school and would enter her second year next semester. She was at the height of her youth, with a delicate face as pure as ice and jade, innocent and lovely.
When Li Juncheng saw Lin Ruoxi, his eyes lit up.
She truly was a natural beauty.
Unfortunately, after tonight, would she not still become a woman on his plate?
"Ruoxi, come here. Sit beside me."
Li Juncheng waved his hand, signaling Lin Ruoxi to sit down.
Lin Ruoxi sat beside him without crossing any boundaries. She kept just enough distance to avoid any contact.
Li Juncheng clearly noticed this, and he immediately became unhappy.
"Ruoxi, I already know about your mother. As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, I'll cover all her medical expenses. She'll stay in the best hospital and have the best doctors."
"There's no need, Young Master Li. I'll handle my own affairs."
Lin Ruoxi frowned. She had not expected Li Juncheng to still refuse to give up, or that he had even investigated her.
"Heh, fine then. Drink the glass on the table."
Li Juncheng sneered, as if he had already expected that answer.
Even though he had investigated Lin Ruoxi's family circumstances beforehand, this little girl still refused to agree.
As expected of someone he had his eye on. She was not tempted by money, but she still would not get away tonight.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the glass on the table. She was not stupid; there had definitely been something slipped into it!
And that was indeed the case. Li Juncheng had drugged it. Otherwise, how could he reliably take this girl down?
As he spoke, Li Juncheng quietly placed his hand on Lin Ruoxi's thigh.
Lin Ruoxi immediately became alert and abruptly stood up.
At that moment, she felt that Li Juncheng was absolute scum! He had started acting openly now.
"Sorry, I won't drink it. I'm quitting. At worst, I just won't work here anymore!" Lin Ruoxi threw down those words, turned, and prepared to leave.
A wolf entering a tiger's den—once Lin Ruoxi entered the room, she had already lost any chance of leaving!
Sure enough, after Lin Ruoxi took only one step, several burly men beside Li Juncheng surrounded her.
"Li Juncheng, what are you trying to do?! Do you know this is illegal?!"
Lin Ruoxi was beginning to panic. She had thought that since this was a public place, Li Juncheng would not dare act too recklessly.
Was he not afraid of being held accountable by the law?
"Hehe, let me tell you the truth. I know the owner of this bar. There's no one in the surrounding rooms right now, and the rooms are soundproof. No one will know what happens here!"
"It's packed outside. Even if you scream yourself hoarse, nobody will come. And even if someone does come, so what? Do you think they can stand against me?"
"Don't even think about calling the police. After tonight, all the surveillance footage will be deleted!"
