Xin Rong left the manager's office and returned to the restaurant from the office area. More than a hundred small candlesticks, flowers, order lists and so on the table have basically been placed.
Everyone has their own affairs in their hands, and they are all busy with their heads buried. Xin Rong stood at the edge of the bar and slowed down, his face was a little pale, his mind flashed back to the conversation in the manager's office a few minutes ago, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had offended his boss, and this job was afraid that he could not be saved.
Meng Donglin squatted in the bar to sort out the water and wine, and as soon as he stood up, he saw Xin Rong standing on the side, stunned, so he called out to him, "Coming back? What do you want the manager to do with you?
Just now, the phone call reached the bar, and it happened to be Meng Donglin who answered it. Calling Xin Rong to the office alone was a bit unusual, but Xin Rong had always done things steadily, and Meng Donglin also knew it.
The two of them grew up in a family home, and Meng Donglin was a few years older than Xin Rong and had always taken good care of him. Xin Rong encountered some bad things in his freshman year of college, did not continue to study in school, and this cruise ship job was introduced by Meng Donglin. Meng Donglin couldn't think of anything, and he was kind as if the manager would have something to deliberately make it difficult for Xin Rong.
A waitress passed by Xin Rong and nodded hello to him. Xin Rong's face is so good-looking, many of the girls working in this dining area have a crush on him, and the waitress who just passed by is one of them.
Xin Rong also nodded to the other party, and then as if he had returned to his senses, he simply replied to Meng Donglin with two words, "It's all right."
"Is it all right?" Meng Donglin didn't believe it, and moved closer to Xin Rong across the bar, "Why did you specifically ask you to go?" <
Xin Rong couldn't tell the truth, he could only say perfunctorily, "Just tell me a few words, Brother Dong, you are busy."
Meng Donglin still wanted to say something to him, Xin Rong had already walked to a table facing the bar, bending down to sort out the not-so-decent lobster that the napkin had folded.
Meng Donglin stared at his silhouette for a while, and intuitively felt that Xin Rong was in trouble. At the moment, he did not ask any more questions, thinking that he would inquire about the side when he met Manager Zhu later.
Shao Chengyun did not bring a piece of luggage, so he suddenly decided to stay on the cruise ship.
After he said the words of letting Xin Rong come to his room, Manager Zhu was stunned, dumbfounded for a few seconds, and asked, "General Manager Shao, are you kidding me?" How come he is also attracted to you..."
Shao Chengyun heard the hint, raised an eyebrow, and asked without answering, "What?" Xin Rong has also been looked at by others?
Zhu manager dug a pit for himself, and he couldn't make up for it for a while, and he was in a state of limbo, "You see his appearance, it is inevitable that there are also guests who are interested in him." Seeing that Shao Chengyun seemed to have a worried face, he hurriedly explained, "Cruise ship travel is just a few days, the longest is more than a week, Xin Rong is quite measured in his work, and he has never had an accident."
"What you just said... If he does something wrong, I'll turn around and let him pay you. Most of
the young people working in this part of the dining area, Zhu Yuan is nominally their leader, but secretly cares for these half-grown children in their early twenties. He thought that Shao Chengyun had an undeserved thought about Xin Rong, so he thought of the Fa to excuse him. <
Shao Chengyun's silence is somewhat intriguing.
Of course, there was no need for Zhu Yuan to let Zhu Yuan know about his and Xin Rong's intention to sign a marriage contract. When he said that just now, he deliberately cut off Xin Rong's back road. Anyway, Xin Rong was a person he had to take away, and if Zhu Yuan let out some wind noises, Xin Rong felt that he couldn't stay on the ship anymore, and it also saved Shao Chengyun a lot of trouble.
Shao Chengyun smiled, but there was no wave in his eyes, he didn't deny or affirm anything, he only said, "Well, let him tell me in person at 902."
After going around in circles, he still wanted Xin Rong to go to his room.
Zhu Manager was not thankless, did not keep Xin Rong, and when he sent Shao Chengyun away, he had some praise.
Shao Chengyun walked to the door of the manager's room, remembered something, and instructed Zhu Yuan, "Leave me a table in the top dining area, and I will go there to eat in the evening." This is the area that Xin Rong is responsible for.
Zhu manager was helpless in his heart, and the surface should be good, "The top-floor restaurant opens at six o'clock in the evening, and the seat by the window is Shao Zong, do you think it is okay?"
Shao Chengyun did not embarrass him anymore, "Just leave me a seat reserved without a guest."
The manager held the door for him and respectfully watched him go away. Looking back, when I thought about what I wanted to tell Xin Rong, I felt that I really couldn't open my mouth, so I wanted to suppress the matter back and wait until after dinner to say it was not too late.
Shao Chengyun arrived at the door of the top-floor restaurant at 6:30. <
The waiter at the front desk didn't know where he was coming from, and after checking his room card, led him to a table near the spiral staircase.
Shao Chengyun had just sat down, and a figure followed him to the table, taking a glass and pouring a glass of water for him.
"Mr. Shao." Xin Rong lowered his head and called people, his eyes were down, not looking at Shao Chengyun, while handing over the menu of ordering, "What do you want to see?" Tonight's chef recommends salmon and crispy duck.
Saying that, he took out the drink list from the pocket of his uniform and spread it out in Shao Chengyun's hand.
Shao Chengyun looked at the menu and did not hesitate too much to order the appetizer and main course. He didn't like desserts, this part was skipped, Xin Rong asked him what to drink, Shao Chengyun asked for a cocktail with a relatively high alcohol content.
Xin Rong carefully and cautiously coped with Shao Chengyun, keeping a distance from him, and trying to be as attentive as possible. He quickly wrote down the food that Shao Chengyun ordered on the touch screen, bent down and said, "Wait a minute, I'll give you a pre-dinner bread right away."
After a few minutes, he folded back and served a warm whole wheat meal bag with a small plate of olive oil and placed it at Shao Chengyun's table.
When Shao Chengyun said thank you, his voice was smooth, no different from that of ordinary guests, as if the conversation in the manager's room had not happened a few hours ago.
Before Xin Rong came to serve him, he thought that he would inevitably suffer some hardships, but seeing Shao Chengyun's ordinary attitude, the heart he was carrying was slightly relaxed. In other words, he should also ask the guest if he has any other needs. But in the face of Shao Chengyun, he was somewhat unnatural, just leaving bread, and walked away.
Although the table where Shao Chengyun sat did not have a sea view, it was quiet and hidden, not disturbed by the surrounding guests.
Recently, he was too busy with the company's affairs to take a break, and today he suddenly gave himself a vacation, and the whole person was relaxed. Around the table and table, most of them are sitting couples or families of three or four with children, and the atmosphere is happy and harmonious. The whole restaurant looked out, and he was sitting alone at this table.
In the past six months since Shao Chengyun returned to China, he has socialized one after another, sitting in a restaurant like tonight, and thinking about it is not once.
He broke a small piece of bread, dipped a little olive oil into his mouth and chewed it, and his eyes followed Xin Rong through the area he was responsible for.
Xin Rong focused on doing things at first, but later seemed to be aware of Shao Chengyun's vision, and his body was a little uncomfortable.
Shao Chengyun was not much like the guests that Xin Rong had served in the past. There is an innate sense of oppression in him, which is not deliberately manifested, but it is difficult to ignore.
Xin Rong felt as if he had been targeted by an experienced hunter, and he was particularly sensitive to Shao Chengyun's presence. It was not a necessary serving service, he easily did not move towards the corner where Shao Chengyun was sitting, but his sight was always unable to resist sweeping to that side.
Shao Chengyun ate this meal for about an hour, during which he only called Xin Rong once. AAfter he finished the first short drink he ordered, he wanted to have another long drink, looked at the wine list, and asked Xin Rong to come and recommend it.
The bar counter can be regarded as one of the characteristics of the top-level restaurant, Meng Donglin, as a specially hired bartender on the cruise ship, is well-known in the circle of fancy bartending, and has won the championship of the fancy bartending competition for two consecutive years, and his creativity and skills are very comprehensive. There are several cocktails on the wine list that he specially designed for the "Lixing".
Xin Rong listened to Shao Chengyun's request, pointed to two of them, and said, "Shao can always try "sunset on the seashore" or "coconut grove in dreams", both are long drinks, the taste is sweeter, the degree is not high, and it is very suitable with seafood. When
Xin Rong spoke, Shao Chengyun put one arm on the back of the chair and looked directly at him.
Xin Rong still did not look at Shao Chengyun, but just looked down at the wine list, this avoidance was not cringing or dodging, more like some kind of silent refusal.
Shao Chengyun said on Xin Rong's recommendation, "Then let's set the sun on the seashore."
Xin Rong nodded, his eyelashes half-covering his eyes, his voice was very clean, and he replied, "Okay, you wait." After he walked away, Shao Chengyun looked at his back, and his gaze did not retract for a long time.
This uniform is worn on others, or slippery shoulders or sleeves are long, in short, there are places that do not fit. But there was no one on Xin Rong, he had wide shoulders and narrow waist, long hips and legs, and was a natural hanger. Being a restaurant waiter is like wronging him.
Shao Chengyun left at eight o'clock in the evening, when the atmosphere of the restaurant was already very lively. Some guests drank too much, and it was inevitable that they would lose their attitude after drinking. SShao Chengyun watched as a guest tip for Xin Rong, and someone gestured to touch him, Xin Rong reacted very quickly and avoided it skillfully.
No more excessive, after all, it is not a place for sound dogs and horses. But looking at Xin Rong's look of coping with it, it was obviously not the first time he had encountered this kind of harassment.
Shao Chengyun watched everything coldly, and there was no expression on his face.
He picked a Xin Rong to go to serve the other table when he left. The cruise ship is all-inclusive, and additional expenses such as alcohol are charged directly from the credit card, and guests do not have to settle the bill after the meal.
Shao Chengyun walked to the door of the restaurant and happened to meet Manager Zhu and two employees explaining things. As soon as Manager Zhu saw Shao Chengyun passing by, his expression became tense. When Shao Chengyun saw him like this, he knew that the things he had confessed had not yet been completed.
Zhu Manager left the staff to quickly greet him, Shao Chengyun stood still in place, Zhu Manager walked to his side, his voice was lowered, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Shao, are you eating well?"
Shao Chengyun did not want other employees to know about his boarding, and Zhu Manager did not dare to speak up.
"It was ok." Shao Chengyun said.
"There's nothing wrong with Xin Rong doing things, right?" Manager Zhu asked again, in fact, he wanted to test Shao Chengyun's attitude.
Shao Chengyun didn't even say anything this time, just nodded his head slightly.
Zhu Manager's heart sank, knowing that there was no room for things to turn around, he could only respectfully send Shao Chengyun away.
In fact, it didn't matter much if Xin Rong came to his place or not, Shao Chengyun was not in a hurry.
Lin Ying had already turned xin rong's background upside down, and Shao Chengyun had also read the information and knew how weak Xin Rong was. If Shao Chengyun really wanted to do anything with him, he had nowhere to run away.
Shao Chengyun returned to his room to take care of some work, then went to the gym on the cruise ship for an hour. As he walked back to the cabin with his gym bag unhurriedly, he saw a figure sitting hunched over the door of Room 902 in the distance, as if he were looking at his mobile phone.
Xin Rong still came, and Shao Chengyun unconsciously ticked the corner of his mouth.
Before he could get closer, the boy sitting on the ground turned his head to look at him, immediately put away his phone and stood up.
The top floor dining area closes at ten o'clock, and Xin Rong has changed out of his greasy and fume-stained uniform before coming, wearing a loose T-shirt and slacks.
The clothes on his body were a little old, as if they had been washed many times in water, and they had faded into bright colors. But the sense of restraint that the original uniform had brought with it had also disappeared from him, replaced by a more youthful and simple image.
Shao Chengyun slowly walked towards him. There was no one else in the corridor, and this time Xin Rong's gaze did not avoid Shao Chengyun anymore.
But until Shao Chengyun walked up to him, he didn't open his mouth to call anyone.
- There is still a temper. Although I was forced to come to this trip due to the situation, I did not see the meaning of being soft.
Shao Chengyun looked into the boy's eyes, kept looking at the bottom of his eyes, and then said, "Come in."
