Rong Si didn’t say anything. The waiter shook his head and brought him to the manager’s office in the back.
“Manager, a student wants to work part-time here. Would you like to see him?”
“Yes.” The manager lazily lifted his head. When he saw the young man standing at the door, his small eyes lit up. He immediately stood up from his seat and greeted Rong Si with a smile. “Hello, hello. You wanted to work part-time? Sure! When do you plan on coming to work?”
Rong Si lightly said, “Tonight will do.”
“Really? Sure!” The manager beamed and invited him in to sit down. He observed the young man’s shockingly handsome face. “We happen to be short of people here, especially a handsome waiter like you. You can work here. We can negotiate your salary!”
Rong Si nodded.
The manager suddenly realized that this kid did not seem to like talking!
He felt the need to remind Rong Si. “If you want to work here, you have to be more enthusiastic and cheerful. After all, we have to serve our guests. If you can’t speak well, and you make our guests unhappy, that would be most unfortunate.”
Rong Si nodded. “I’ll try my best.”
The manager had a good first impression of Rong Si. It was rare to see someone as handsome as him. Even if this boy did not like to talk much, it was not a big deal. Some people might like him. Their bar served many rich young ladies. Perhaps they would like him?
The manager thought of something and asked, “Do you drink?”
Rong Si directly answered, “No.”
“You don’t?” The manager was a little surprised. “If you don’t drink, it’ll be a little difficult. I wanted to arrange for you to entertain important guests. The commission will be very high if you do.”
The important guest he was referring to was, naturally, the rich.
“Lwon’t drink,” Rong Si repeated.
“Alright, then you can start from the basics. Just serving drinks and food to the customers. Is that okay?” As the manager spoke, he suddenly thought of an important question. “By the way, you’re an adult, right? It’ll be a little troublesome if you’re not.”
Rong Si answered truthfully, “I’m two months from 18.”
“So you’re not an adult yet?” The manager was a little troubled, but he really did not want to let this opportunity go. After thinking for a while, he agreed. “Alright, I’ll consider you an adult now. Sign the contract, then you can start working.”
“Okay.”
After signing the contract, Rong Si walked to the changing room and changed into a set of work clothes. He wore a white shirt, black pants, and a black bow tie.
After getting dressed, he pinned on his nametag and walked outside.
He headed toward the bar, ready to serve drinks to the guests.

By the time Rong Si came out of the bar, it was late at night. When he looked at his watch, he saw that it was already 3 am.
Although he had worked for only five-six hours on the first day, he still felt a little tired. The bleak autumn wind swept through his hair.
At this time, the roads had almost no taxis on the streets that he could flag down, and he was also unsuccessful in trying to book one on the phone. In the end, he had to walk home.
The place he lived in was an old apartment block. When he got there, a woman in tight clothes and dyed yellow hair walked out of a hair salon. She seductively looked around, like she was trying to attract customers.
‘When she saw Rong Si, the woman was stunned for a moment. Then, she welcomed him warmly and winked at him. “Handsome boy, do you want to play? It’s cheap..”
