Chapter 3: Sit tight and wait

Chapter 3 Waiting for the Rabbit

At 8:40 in the morning, Lin Jianxi arrived at the Verdelite Café opposite the Xunjin Building on Zhonghe South Road 20 minutes earlier than the agreed time. The location here is good, the consumption is high, and it is close to Qiao Mochuan's company, which is very suitable for waiting for the rabbit.

The cafe was not open at this time, and the manager greeted him with a smile. The beautiful grand piano was placed on a round table slightly above the ground. The sunlight outside poured in from the French windows and fell on the black piano body, which seemed to be shining.

"In fact, our Verdelite does not have too high requirements for pianists. It doesn't matter if you don't have a grading certificate. As long as you can play some soothing light music, such as the songs of Broudris and Richard, it will be fine."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, the manager asked him to play two songs at random.

Lin Jianxi walked to the piano and sat down. He raised his wrist slightly, and his slender ten fingers flew back and forth on the black and white keys. The soft and light melody immediately permeated the warm and fragrant air of the cafe.

The young man's back was straight and his sitting posture was upright, but his whole state was very relaxed, with a faint smile on his handsome face, as if playing the piano was a pleasant enjoyment.

Such outstanding temperament and smooth piano sound made the manager a little stunned. After listening to several sections, he finally reacted as if waking up from a dream. He patted his shoulder with satisfaction and signaled him to stop.

"Xiao Lin, you play well. I think you are fully qualified for this job. The specific working hours and remuneration will be in accordance with what we agreed before."

The capable man had a smile on his face and a gentle tone. "In addition, because our pianist is leaving in a hurry, can you come to work tomorrow afternoon?"

"No problem." Lin Jianxi smiled and nodded. He had just contacted the person in charge on the recruitment website last night and arranged an interview early this morning. It can be seen that it is indeed a temporary and urgent job.

"That's great." The manager's face brightened. "You decide the repertoire to be played on weekdays, but you'd better adjust it according to the atmosphere during festivals. Occasionally, there may be customers who come to order a song, just try to satisfy them."

"Okay, I'll definitely pay attention."

Seeing that he was humble and responsive, and had no objection to the salary, the manager had a better impression of him, so he decided to tell him frankly.

"Xiao Lin, there is one more thing I want to tell you first. Because our pianist has always been recruiting full-time and stable, he only finds someone to replace him for a while when he has something to do, so--" "

Thank you, manager, I will probably go back to school when he comes back." Lin Jianxi immediately replied very tactfully, with a slight smile on his lips.

Of course, he will not work part-time here for a long time. As long as he waits for the rabbit to bump into him, he can retire.

Lin Jianxi's sight quickly passed through the building opposite where people were coming in and out through the glass window that was wiped clean, and a dark light flashed in his light-colored eyes.

Qiao Mochuan has been preparing for the merger of Adler Group these days. He has a pile of documents on financial analysis and risk assessment, so he was still sitting in the brightly lit office at nine o'clock in the evening.

He had just finished reading the new report prepared by his assistant and was about to approve the next document when a phone call came in.

Qiao Mochuan frowned and didn't want to answer it. When he saw that it was Liang Jun, he put the folder aside and pressed the answer button.

The young man's smiling voice immediately rang over there.

"Mr. Qiao, one of the three brothers will leave today? It's still the old rules."

Among the three people he mentioned, another one was Cao Liangwen, the youngest son of the Cao family. The three of them were rich young men who were used to being dissolute. They often held parties all night long. Each one was more playful than the other. Over time, they established a revolutionary friendship.

"I'm not free recently. The old man is watching closely." Qiao Mochuan said "tsk" irritably and put out the cigarette in his hand.

Liang Jun laughed: "I know you are under a lot of pressure, so I specially asked you to have a drink to relax. You decide the place."

Qiao Mochuan raised his arm and looked at his watch. He paused for half a second without a clear tone, and then said in a deep voice: "Then let's go to the same place as last time."

Liang Jun seemed to understand his implication. He kept laughing on the other end of the phone and said mysteriously: "Okay, then come quickly, and I will give you a surprise when the time comes."

Hearing this, Qiao Mochuan's mind moved, and he hung up the phone without saying anything.

When he finished his work and rushed to the Deep Blue Bar, Liang Jun and Cao Liangwen had already had three rounds of drinks. The two of them each hugged a young boy with delicate makeup, and they fed him wine and told jokes tenderly, so happy.

"Oh, our busy man is finally willing to come to honor us." As soon as Qiao Mochuan entered the door, the box immediately became lively, and the four mouths quarreled with the momentum of twenty mouths.

Cao Liangwen patted the person in his arms and urged, "You have no sense at all. Why don't you toast to Young Master Qiao?"

"That's right, it's too rude." Liang Jun also laughed and chimed in, "Whether you two have a new play next time is up to Brother Qiao."

Hearing this, the two young actors' eyes lit up and they immediately approached with their glasses shyly.

Who in Yancheng has not heard of Young Master Qiao's name in the circle? He is romantic and rich, and he is the most generous to his lovers. Although he changes people around him frequently, just based on the favor he received in that short period of time, a little bit of money leaking out from his fingers is enough to squander.

What's more, when it comes to his figure, appearance, skills and abilities, this young master is first-class in every aspect. If there is really a chance to have a love affair with him, I don't know who will take advantage.

"Is this the surprise you mentioned?" Qiao Mochuan pulled the corner of his mouth, and unceremoniously pushed away the two boys who took the initiative to stick to him. His eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and his tone was bad, "I think your vision is getting blinder and blinder."

"Look, you are impatient, aren't you?" Hearing this, Liang Jun was not angry, but laughed out loud, with a very proud tone.

"I knew you were thinking about that little lark. You didn't even bring anyone with you, just waiting for me to send him to the door, right?"

"Stop talking in your sleep, I don't have time to think about these things these days. If Adler's project is not negotiated, the old man will definitely peel off a layer of skin from me!"

Qiao Mochuan snorted unhappily, sat down on the soft leather sofa, and raised his head to drink several sips of iced whiskey.

He drank quickly, and the amber liquor overflowed from his lips and rolled down along the rolling of his Adam's apple. Under the influence of strong liquor, the man's pair of peach blossom eyes looked particularly seductive, and it seemed like he was giving off electricity when he raised his eyes casually.

The young actor with blond curly hair sitting next to him was stunned when he saw this, and then his face turned red unconsciously. As a result, he was pinched lightly on his waist, so he turned back and smiled at Cao Liangwen who pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Then just tell me whether you are interested in him or not." Liang Jun leaned back calmly and changed to a more comfortable posture. "Anyway, I have asked for you, and I even know how many buses and subway lines are in front of his house."

Qiao Mochuan stopped drinking, and his index finger was slightly bent, tapping the glass table lightly.

Liang Jun was a worm in his stomach. When he saw him like this, he knew that this matter was possible. He laughed and continued, "The little lark is called Lin Jianxi. He is a serious college student, studying at the University of Science and Technology. He came to Shenlan to work and study. He is not the same as these beautiful girls."

When he said this, the blond actor in Cao Liangwen's arms looked a little ugly instantly, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to show a wronged and resentful look to express his dissatisfaction.

Cao Liangwen was still interested in him, so he whispered sweet words to him and comforted him softly, kissing and hugging him to make him happy.

Qiao Mochuan ignored their nagging and asked with a raised eyebrow: "Is his last name Lin too?"

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence." Liang Jun laughed dryly and touched his nose, "Anyway, I am..."

Bang, bang, bang -

the rest of his words were interrupted by a few rhythmic knocks on the door. He stretched his neck and glanced at it, then grinned. He immediately winked at the man next to him and teased: "Look, there's a real surprise."

Qiao Mochuan raised his eyes lazily, and saw a young man with outstanding appearance standing leisurely by the door, his posture upright like a green bamboo.

"Sorry to bother you, I'll mix some foreign wine for you." Lin Jianxi bowed slightly. The colorful lights in the box were so dazzling, but it didn't seem to affect this person at all.

"Hello, this is the Atlan 92 you ordered, please confirm it first." His voice was clear, as if the four-sided ice cubes hit the glass bottle wall of the pot, making people tremble in their hearts.

Perhaps out of courtesy to the guests, after he finished speaking, he gently raised the corners of his lips, and that delicate face became particularly lively because of this smile, like a hibiscus peony that suddenly bloomed, and began to bloom with a breathtaking beauty.

With such a special color, even Liang Jun, who was used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, couldn't help but be distracted. After reacting, he immediately turned his head and coughed unnaturally, saying: "Well, no problem, open it now and mix the drink."

"Okay, do you want it stronger or lighter?" Lin Jianxi glanced at the people present, and his calm eyes finally stopped on the man in the center.

Qiao Mochuan narrowed his eyes: "Lighter."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Lin Jianxi nodded, then carefully opened the bottle of wine, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

The Deep Blue Bar has its own rules. All waiters who enter the private room must have several years of experience working in the lobby, and part-time waiters are never allowed to enter the private room to serve.

This time, he was directly asked to serve in the top-level S private room. It was obvious who did it. Although foreign wine service requires special training, for now, the professionalism of the service is obviously secondary, and learning the basics is enough.

For him, this is just a play without a director. Qiao Mochuan's eyes are the camera, and Lin Jianxi has always been the most clear about what angle he looks most attractive in front of the screen.

He held the bottom of the bottle with one hand and the bottleneck with the other hand. With a slight tilt, the reddish-brown wine slowly flowed out. It happened that the surrounding lights were also orange-red at this time. Between the flickering light and shadow, Lin Jianxi's white and slender fingers were set off like the finest mutton-fat jade, with an attractive luster.

He mixed the soft drinks and foreign wine in an orderly manner, and the wine fell vertically into the mixing pot, with a neat and beautiful movement. For a while, there was only the sound of glassware gently touching in the private room, and no one spoke.

Liang Jun and Cao Liangwen stared at her with their eyes wide open, not even caring about their new lover who had softened into a puddle of water and was acting coquettishly in their arms. With such a beautiful girl in front of them, other people really couldn't stand it.

The ordinary black and white waiter uniform seemed to glow with a special brilliance on the young man. Although the collar was buttoned tightly and the cuffs were tightly wrapped around the wrists, such old-fashioned restraint could actually arouse people's imagination and bring out some wild and charming associations.

Qiao Mochuan's eyes deepened and he licked his lips unconsciously.

Lin Jianxi picked up the coaster and began to pass the wine to each person in turn.

Cao Liangwen immediately approached him and started a conversation: "You are still a college student, right?"

He had clearly investigated the person, but he pretended to be confused. "What major are you studying?"

"Biology." He answered vaguely, smiled and changed the subject, "Would you like some ice?"

"Yes." Qiao Mochuan nodded, "I also know a little about this major. I can introduce a few top doctoral supervisors to guide you to do your graduation project in the future."

"Thank you, but I have already chosen the direction and supervisor." Lin Jianxi handed over the wine glass, "Sir, please enjoy."

Qiao Mochuan was not annoyed by him blocking the topic, and changed the subject: "You always work here at night. Will you not have enough time to study during the weekdays?"

"I don't sleep much, I'm used to it."

Several people tried to get some soft words from him, but Lin Jianxi didn't respond to any greetings. Although he answered every question, he didn't say anything extra, which was simply unacceptable.

But his movements were perfect, his service attitude was impeccable, and especially the seemingly sincere smile on his face, which made people have no place to vent their anger.

Liang Jun had no choice but to go up to him and try to make trouble.

He reached out to take the wine before anyone put it in front of him. As soon as he took the cup, he pretended to be unsteady. His hand shook and the cup slipped, and the wine in it was about to spill out.

But Lin Jianxi didn't even blink, and with a very fast turn of his wrist, he immediately held the wine cup. The reddish-brown liquid that was about to spill flipped and fell steadily back into the glass, creating ripples, but it didn't spill at all!

"Be careful." He even lowered his eyebrows and whispered a reminder.

Liang Jun was stunned. What was that just now? Acrobatics or martial arts?

He was still standing there rubbing his eyes stupidly, thinking that he was dizzy from drinking too much. But Lin Jianxi had already collected the tray and was ready to leave. Even when he leaned forward, his back was very straight, and he inexplicably revealed a very contradictory temperament.

Respectful and arrogant.

After he left, Liang Jun couldn't help but hissed, "I think this guy is a bit weird. He looks like a piece of wood, but he's actually as slippery as a fish, very cunning."

"I can't tell whether he's weird or not, but I just feel that your charm seems to have been discounted recently, Young Master Qiao." Cao Liangwen put his arm around the soft shoulders of the young actor beside him, and said in a teasing tone.

"Really? My attractiveness has decreased?" Qiao Mochuan took a sip of wine without comment, his Adam's apple rolling up and down sexily, and then suddenly turned around and approached the black-haired boy brought by Liang Jun, and asked him with a non-serious smile, "What do you think?" The

black-haired boy was a small model before he became an actor. He looked at the muscular body wrapped in a well-tailored suit in front of him, as well as the smooth muscle lines, and his pretty little face suddenly blushed.

"You like it? Then it's yours." Liang Jun didn't feel jealous and immediately made a gesture of invitation.

He is the youngest among the three people, and is more interested in drinking than in beauties. He usually hugs men and women in occasions for fun just to show off, and his sympathy

for women is only in words. "I'm not interested in other people's things." Qiao Mochuan sneered and pushed the little model who came to his door aside unceremoniously.

Liang Junzhuo poked his heart: "Then if you are interested, they don't have that kind of interest in you."

"Hehe," Qiao Mochuan tapped the wine glass on the table lightly, "In a place with many people and noisy conversations, you always have to put on some airs."

Originally, he thought he wouldn't care so much, but at this moment, he couldn't tell whether it was the alcohol or the man's competitive spirit, he really wanted to fight with this person.

So Lin Jianxi, who was about to change his clothes, was stopped by Manager Li of the bar as soon as he changed his clothes.

"You mean, the guest in the S1 private room drank too much and couldn't drive, so he asked me to drive for him?" His handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, and his expression was a little puzzled.

"Yes, I remember you have a driver's license, right?" Manager Li patted his shoulder with a smile.

Several waiters around him began to whisper with ambiguous expressions. The young man naturally heard it. He looked a little embarrassed and struggled reluctantly: "But——"

"Don't say but," the manager interrupted him seriously, lowering his voice and saying, "This is also your job. After sending Qiao Shao home, you will just get off work and I will give you a bonus when I come back."

It was obviously a happy thing to get a bonus easily, but Lin Jianxi didn't react much after hearing it. He just lowered his head and said nothing, and then hid the smile in his eyes very well, like a cat that stole some fish.

Very good, the fish really took the bait.
