Chapter 10 Chapter 9 The Waitress at the Nightclub

In the Shiliugang Naval Base, there is a large family area, most of which are Soviet-style family buildings built in the 1960s and 1970s.There are many subordinate units of the naval base, the composition of personnel is complex, and the mobility is high. Although they live in a compound, most of them are not familiar with each other, and the neighbors do not communicate with each other.Zhang Xiaolu (Chen Jiao used the pseudonym of the provincial martial arts school again) became the adopted daughter of one of the families.The adoptive father's surname is Zhang, Zhang Zucheng, 55 years old, former accountant of the Finance Department of the Naval Hospital, hemiplegia caused by a stroke, and has been paralyzed in bed for many years.Adoptive mother Li Xiuqin, 48 years old, a former nurse at the Navy Hospital, suffered from severe kidney disease half a year ago, which has turned into uremia, and has to go to the hospital for dialysis every month.Zhang Xiaolu went to university but did not live on campus. Every afternoon after class, she returned home to take care of her sick adoptive parents.One day, while sitting on the bus bound for Shiliugang, she suddenly realized why she was selected by instructor Liu from the martial arts school.In addition to being politically reliable, one's own background is also an important reason.It is relatively simple to recreate an identity for a lonely child without the supervision of his biological parents. Those children from families with healthy parents and a prosperous population should not be so convenient to perform tasks, right?Thinking of this, tears welled up in Zhang Xiaolu's eyes.The adoptive father retired from illness many years ago, and his salary was pitifully low. The adoptive mother was originally only a temporary worker in the hospital, and had to resign after being ill. The family's finances have long been stretched.It is naturally difficult for such a family to support a college student, so Zhang Xiaolu had to drop out of school after studying hotel management at the University of International Business and Economics for three months.She is going to work in Shenzhen to earn money to treat her adoptive mother.Zhang Xiaolu sat on the window seat of the "Green Island" coffee shop, waiting for Director Mi.At 1 p.m., Chief Mi appeared in a casual suit.

After sitting down, Director Mi took out a photo from his purse and handed it to Zhang Xiaolu.In the photo, a woman in white is getting out of the car.Although it was a candid shot, it was very clear.Judging from the photos, the woman's figure and appearance are quite outstanding.Zhang Xiaolu felt that this woman looked familiar, and said, "I seem to have seen this person somewhere." Staring at the photo for a minute, I remembered: "She is Zhang Wanqing's sister I met in the provincial martial arts school!" Director Mi smiled and said, "That's why I chose you to carry out this task. Her name is Zhang Wanrou, He is 30 years old, a native of Hong Kong, and his background is unknown. He grew up in an orphanage, was adopted at the age of 10, and was sent to study in Canada after completing secondary education in Hong Kong. He returned to Hong Kong in 1989 and is now the general manager of Shenzhen MG Club. "

Zhang Xiaolu listened carefully, not daring to miss a word.I thought to myself, how could such a person come into Director Mi's field of vision? "Zhang Wanrou lives in Hong Kong and Shenzhen irregularly. When she is in Shenzhen, she likes to go to nightclubs at night. Lido Nightclub and Pearl Nightclub are the places she often goes to. You choose one of them to apply for a job as a waitress there, and wait for her to come When playing, find a way to get close to her." Director Mi explained the task to Zhang Xiaolu. "Yeah. I see." Zhang Xiaolu agreed.But she thought of another question, and asked puzzledly: "How do you know that I have met Zhang Wanrou?" Director Mi smiled indifferently: "Zhang Wanrou came into our sight two years ago. I sent you to the provincial martial arts school to study. The reason you became a star in the martial arts school is to make her familiar with you and create conditions for getting close to her in the future."

Zhang Xiaolu suddenly realized.He expressed his admiration for Director Mi's foresight and foresight, and he was a little startled that he was unaware that he had become a pawn a year ago. "Xiaolu, when you encounter problems, you should use your brain more and use your mouth less. Don't ask such questions in the future. This is your first time performing a task, and I will emphasize the discipline again. We can't tell our parents about our work, and we can't tell us about our work. Lover. Any negligence will not only bring losses to our work, but also put ourselves in a dangerous situation. The environment of nightclubs is complex, you must pay attention to protecting yourself. As an agent, agility is not the most important thing, but a flexible mind That's the key point. You must be calm and not impulsive. Remember, you are a college student who had to drop out of school to treat your adoptive mother. You have to come back once a month to visit your adoptive parents. When you return to Guangzhou, call the paging station. Leave a message, add 999, we will meet here at 1:00 noon the next day. Call this number for emergencies.”

Director Mi wrote down the phone number to Zhang Xiaolu.Zhang Xiaolu read it silently three times, and firmly memorized the number. "Write it down? If you write it down, destroy it." Director Mi said.Zhang Xiaolu tore the note into pieces, crumpled it up, and threw it into the ashtray on the table.Director Mi took out a lighter, burned the ball of paper, and said leisurely: "A good habit must be formed from the beginning." To be on the safe side, Zhang Xiaolu decided to apply for a job at a nightclub in Guangzhou first, so as to gain some work experience, so that she could successfully become a hostess in those two nightclubs after arriving in Shenzhen.Zhang Xiaolu chose a Dihao Nightclub with a thriving business in Guangzhou to apply for the job.The manager saw a young and beautiful woman coming in, asked a few words casually, immediately decided to hire her, and let her go to work that night.The business of the Dihao Nightclub was very hot that night. Customers came one after another, and the girls were picked away one after another.Because Xiaolu just arrived, she was pushed to the back.It was after ten o'clock in the evening that Mommy took her to a box.Xiaolu and the nine girls entered the box and stood in a row for the guests to choose from.This kind of form made Xiaolu feel very humiliated. Looking at the girls around her, they all seemed indifferent.Xiaolu stayed behind with the other four girls who were selected, and the other five girls walked out of the box one by one.These five guests are all young men in their twenties and thirties. Their accents are from Hong Kong. Judging from their words and deeds, it is clear that they often hang out in nightclubs and are very familiar with the environment of nightclubs.

The drinks, snacks, and fruit plates they ordered came out quickly, and everyone sang songs with their arms around the lady they had just picked.The singing voice of this group of people is really not flattering, it can only be described as howling ghosts and howling wolves.There was only one man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who sang like that. Xiaolu paid attention to him a few times, and heard others call him "Bozai".The guest accompanied by Xiaolu was called "Brother Quan". He was dark and thin, with a thick gold chain hanging around his neck and three gold rings on his hands.Brother Quan's singing is worse than Drake's. Seeing him singing with a microphone in his hand, Xiaolu was angry and funny.When he wasn't singing, Brother Quan drank and raised his glass to find someone to toast with. After he finished drinking, Xiaolu hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and filled him up again.Brother Quan went to the bathroom, and Bo Zai came over with a song list: "I just heard that you sang well, how about singing a song later?" Xiaolu said modestly: "Where, I also sang randomly."

"At least your intonation is not like they are out of tune and running eight hundred miles away." Bozai laughed. "You sing well too, it's very comfortable to listen to you sing." Xiaolu said. "Listening to other people's singing is like suffering, isn't it?" Bozai laughed.Xiaolu smiled without saying a word.A person named "Da Fei" was singing "Shanghai Bund" hoarsely, which made Xiaolu want to find cotton to plug her ears. "Ha ha." Bozai laughed, and blinked at Xiaolu: "I remembered reading a sentence in a newspaper yesterday that people with tone-deficient prefer to sing karaoke because they base their happiness on the pain of others. Sure enough. nice."

Xiaolu laughed "puchi".At this time, Brother Quan came back, and Bo Tsai got up and returned to his place.After a while, a little accident happened.When Brother Quan got up to find someone to fight for wine, he bumped into the waitress who came in to deliver the fruit plate. Brother Quan staggered, the wine glass fell to the ground, and the wine spilled on Brother Quan's pants. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The waitress quickly put the fruit plate on the coffee table and came over to apologize. "Crack!" Brother Quan raised his hand and slapped the waiter across the face, cursing, "Just say sorry? You stained my pants! Stinky bitch! Lick me clean!" the waitress said. Her left cheek was swollen from the beating, she knelt on the ground in fright, and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" Xiaolu couldn't stand it anymore, she went to help the waitress: "She It’s just that I’m not careful, I’ve already apologized, what else do you want?”

"Aha, there are still people who dare to help. Do you also want to lick my pants with her?" Brother Quan laughed out of breath. "Please show some respect, don't go too far!" Xiaolu was also angry, and she stood up straight and said to him. "You want me to be more respectful? Is there a mistake, Miss, is this your first day at work? Ask Mommy to come over and ask her how to train Miss!" Brother Quan laughed back angrily, pointing at Xiaolu and said. "Okay, okay, Brother Quan, calm down." Bo Zai came over and persuaded, "Tonight we brothers will go out to have fun by ourselves, don't let everyone down for a little thing."

He turned his head and said to the waitress kneeling on the ground, "Hurry up and ask someone to clean this place!" The waitress, whose face turned pale with fright, immediately stood up, opened the door of the box and escaped.After a while, two male waiters came in and cleaned the floor.Brother Quan was still angry, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and looking at Xiaolu, Xiaolu looked at him without showing any weakness.Bo Zai went over and patted Brother Quan on the shoulder and said: "Brother Quan, there are so many grown-ups, it seems so unrefined to argue with these ladies. This lady doesn't even have breasts, she just debuted at first glance, and she is not sensible. I just picked That young lady has big breasts and is gentle, how about you?" After speaking, she pulled Xiaolu towards her.Brother Quan laughed loudly: "So Bozai, you like those with small breasts. I told you earlier, and I gave it to you from the beginning."

The lady who was sitting next to Bo Zai came over and said softly, "Brother Quan, don't be angry. Come, drink a glass of wine to calm down." Brother Quan and Miss drank a cup of wine, and their faces calmed down.The storm subsided like this.Xiaolu glanced at Bozai gratefully.Bo Tsai secretly asked: "You have a personality, you just came out to work?" Xiaolu replied in a low voice: "Yes. Today is the first day of work." "I can't do this job if I have a bad temper. If I hadn't rescued him today and he called Mommy, you and the waiter would be in trouble." Bozai said. "Thank you." Xiaolu lowered her head and said. "Sing "A Thousand Rivers and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love" with me. If you finish singing, you will be thanking me." Bozai said.Xiaolu smiled and nodded.Zhang Xiaolu only worked as a "Miss" at Dihao Nightclub for one night, and left for Shenzhen the next day without saying goodbye.She didn't expect that Bo Tsai, whom she met on the first night as a "Miss", would appear in her life again in the future, and the entanglement with him would have a major impact on her life. In China in 1991, the entertainment industry was far less developed than it is now. Even in Shenzhen, which was at the forefront of reform and opening up, there were only a handful of high-end nightclubs.Lido Nightclub and Pearl Nightclub are the two most famous nightclubs in Shenzhen.There are the most luxurious private rooms, the most powerful audio equipment and the most beautiful ladies.The business of the two nightclubs is very hot. Every night until 10:00 pm, the entrances are full of high-end cars.Zhang Xiaolu chose the Lido Nightclub to apply for the job.That afternoon, she took the completed form and was led to the manager's office by the reception lady, and found that there were several young and beautiful women waiting at the door of the manager's office.I have learned in advance that because the business of the Lido Nightclub is booming, the customers who come here are either rich or expensive, and the tips for the "Miss" are also very generous. The requirements for "Miss" are also particularly high, and "Miss" who is not very beautiful and skilled has no chance to enter.The competition in the entertainment industry is the cruelest, with the waves behind the Yangtze River driving the waves ahead, each leading the way for three to five years.Nightclubs need to constantly import more beautiful and fresher "lady" to keep attracting customers.Some "ladies" are spotted by customers after a short period of time, and they buy a house and take care of it.There are also lucky ones who become the wife of a wealthy businessman in one step.The positions vacated by these ladies also need to be replaced, so the recruitment advertisement of the nightclub states below: This information is valid all year round.Zhang Xiaolu sat on the last stool and looked at the stylishly dressed women beside her. They were all tall and pretty, and they were all under 20 years old. She couldn't help but feel sad for them. They were so beautiful, why did they do something wrong? Why do you have to go to a nightclub to be a "Miss", and live up to the good skin that your parents gave you.After thinking about it, didn't I also come to apply for the job?In the eyes of others, what is the difference between yourself and these girls?Zhang Xiaolu smiled wryly in her heart. Finally it was Zhang Xiaolu's turn to go in.She saw a middle-aged man in a flowered shirt sitting behind the executive desk, his hair was neatly combed by a hair dryer and mousse, it seemed that he was the manager.Sitting next to him was a beautiful woman about 30 years old, wearing a navy blue professional suit and skirt, her hair was neatly coiled, and she looked like a white-collar beauty.Xiaolu knew that this woman was an account manager, also known as "Mummy".Xiaolu smiled and nodded to the two of them, then went straight to the big class desk and sat down. "Stand up!" The manager who claimed to be surnamed Wang ordered.Xiaolu stood up inexplicably. "Back to the door and go again!" Manager Wang said. Xiaolu understood that this was examining her figure and posture.He retreated to the door and walked again, and sat down on the chair in front of him again.Manager Wang and the foreman "Mummy" looked at each other and nodded slightly.He looked down at the form Zhang Xiaolu had filled out, and asked, "Are you from Guangzhou?" "yes." "Can you dance?" "meeting." "Which types can you dance?" "In addition to ballroom dancing, there is also tango and rumba." "How's your drinking capacity?" "Chivas Regal can drink a whole bottle in 12 years, and two or three bottles of beer." The manager gave a "hmm" and ticked Zhang Xiaolu's form with a red pen.Of the five ladies who interviewed with Zhang Xiaolu that afternoon, only Zhang Xiaolu was admitted.The foreman "Mummy" led Zhang Xiaolu to the staff dormitory, and the two talked while walking. "My name is Tina and I'm the account manager here." Tina introduced herself first.Tina's skin is very fair, she looks very charming, and she always has a faint smile on her face.Even wearing a professional suit can't hide her romantic demeanor, and her gestures are obviously trained for a long time, enough to attract the attention of every man who passes by her.This is a man who has been rolling in the wind and moon field for many years. "Hello, Miss Tina! Please take care of me!" Zhang Xiaolu knew that a good relationship with Tina was crucial to her future work, so she approached her humbly. "Most of the guests who come to our Lido are wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. They like to speak English, so all the ladies here have English names. Let your name be Helen!" "Helen! I like it so much. Thank you, Sister Tina, for giving me the name!" Zhang Xiaolu said with a smile on her face, showing joy. "I heard that Helen is the name of a foreign beauty god. The last lady named Helen was the top card in our club. She was spotted by a Hong Kong businessman half a month ago and moved to live in a villa. I hope you have such good luck." Tina said as she walked. "Helen is a beautiful woman in Greek mythology. Two men fought for her, which triggered a ten-year Trojan War. But there is also a famous figure in the United States called Helen? Keller, a blind and deaf female writer and educator Her self-improvement spirit has touched thousands of people, and she was selected as one of the top ten American spiritual icons in the 20th century by the American "Time Magazine." Xiaolu said. When she was still at the Yingcai Martial Arts School, she had studied with Helen?Keller's autobiography "My Life" was deeply moved by Helen's story. "Oh? You really know a lot. How can someone who knows this come to a nightclub to be a lady?" Tina stopped and looked at Xiaolu strangely.Xiaolu then told Tina about her pre-made up life experience.These life experiences are mixed. She was originally from Jilin, her parents divorced, her father gave her away, and she grew up in Guangdong. These are all true, but the family she raised has changed to the family named Zhang in the Guangzhou Naval Base. "My adoptive father was paralyzed in bed more than ten years ago, and our life was very difficult. I was strong when I was young, and I studied hard, and vowed to go to college to earn a good future for myself. But I couldn't earn my life. I just got into college. The adoptive mother was found to have uremia. In order to treat the disease, the family owed a large amount of money. The unit and relatives borrowed all the money, and then could not borrow any more money... If there is no money for dialysis, the adoptive mother's illness can only continue Worsening. In order to raise dialysis fees for my adoptive mother, I had to take a break from school to work, but as a girl, what can I do to earn thousands of dollars a month?" When it came to the emotional part, Xiaolu's eyes were moist, and tears kept welling in her eyes Twirling in the air, trying not to let it fall.What Xiaolu said made Tina feel compassion.She took Xiaolu's hand: "I knew you were a girl from a good family when I saw it. Alas, none of us were forced to this point by life? As long as there is a better way to go, we won't Step into this business. However, this business is well done, and the money you earn in a month is more than half a year's wages for those college students. You look very pure, and your conversation is good. This type of lady is most popular with guests. Thank you Tips are also good. As soon as you came in this afternoon, I thought I must keep you." "Thank you, Sister Tina. I just came out to work, and I don't know anything. I rely on my sister's support." Xiaolu looked at Tina with tears in her eyes and said. "Oh, look at you. Since we met, it means that we are destined. You can follow me and work hard. I will take care of you." Tina is usually a strict person, and she is not easy to talk to the young lady under her hand, but after only knowing Zhang Xiaolu for less than an hour, she began to look at her differently. "As soon as I saw my sister, I felt kind, as if I had met her somewhere. This is what my sister said. Sister Tina, I have been lonely since I was a child, and I don't have any older sisters. I really envy people who have older sisters. You Can you be my sister? A sister like my own sister?" Xiaolu looked at Tina with hope in her eyes. "Of course! I can't wait to have a beautiful and intelligent sister like you!" Tina readily agreed. "You agreed! That's great! I'll have a sister from now on!" Xiaolu clapped her hands happily, and shouted to Tina loudly, "Sister, sister!" "Hey—" Tina dragged her voice to agree, and finally smiled. The staff quarters are in a five-story building behind the nightclub.The first and second floors are for male employees such as security guards and chefs. The third floor and above are for female workers’ dormitories. Usually, waitresses and young ladies who have just arrived live here. There are four people in one room, each with only one bed, and personal belongings are placed in their own. Under the bed, the red and green evening dresses worn by the ladies at work can only be hung by a wire on the head of the bed.Tina led Zhang Xiaolu to a dormitory on the fifth floor, pointed to the empty bunk on the right and said, "You will live here from now on. Although it's a bit crowded, it's convenient to commute and safer." The other three young ladies in the room had just woken up, and they were all still in their pajamas, lounging on the bed.Tina introduced Zhang Xiaolu to the other three: "This is the new Helen, I will live with you in the future. Helen, this is Sasha, this is Annie, and this is Mary." The three ladies looked at Zhang Xiaolu for a while, and nodded as a greeting. The girl named Mary got up and poured a glass of water for Tina, and said, "Miss Tina is here, but unfortunately we don't even have hot tea here, so we can only drink cold tea." The water is boiling." Tina took the water glass, didn't drink it, and put it on the table beside her.Ask: "How was your last night?" "The Taiwanese businessman got drunk last night and vomited all over me. It was so disgusting. Sister Tina, please introduce me to a younger guest next time. These old guys are not interesting at all." Mary said. "You don't want to be someone's wife, you don't care if someone is interesting or not, as long as you tip enough." Tina scolded with a smile. "That old ghost, with only three or five hairs left on his head, has a big belly, a stinky mouth, and is very lecherous, with a pair of salty pig hands groping everywhere, as disgusting as you want. Young people are always more attractive. " Mary said. "Look at your coquettish appearance, did you see a young man who looks more energetic, and you will do it if you tell you to post? You have never suffered from young men. Young guys who come to nightclubs will be sincere to you Just a few sweet words, you take it seriously, when the time comes, those who cheat you, cheat you out of your money, and then throw you away like garbage, no one will sympathize with you even if you cry to death!" Tina put away her smile, Liu Mei Upside down, start to teach Mary. Mary pouted her lips and lowered her head and said, "People just talk about it casually, why should Sister Tina take it seriously." "Although the older guests are ugly, they are also good. They are all people with status and families. What haven't you seen? Most of them are unruly, and generally they don't go too far, and they give generous tips. You people, in the future As long as you can catch an old ghost, you will be able to rely on it for the rest of your life." Salsa and Annie also came up and said, "Miss Tina taught you the lesson, we will remember it." "Helen just came here today. Apart from Mary, who has been in the business for more than a year, and Sasha and Annie have just entered the industry, Sister Tina will give you a training class today. Being a lady is not mean, and you don't steal or rob. You can make money with your own ability, and you can feel at ease. The ladies in our Lido nightclub have good temperaments, you just have to keep your good temperaments, don't act vulgar and vulgar, you are not 'chickens' standing on the street! Be reserved when you are reserved. If you let the customer get you at the first time, then you are only worth a thousand yuan at most! The harder it is for the customer to get you, the more valuable you are. This is the same as falling in love, easy to get You don’t cherish things, the faster you get them, the faster you lose them. Do you understand?” Tina stood in the middle of the room and taught the four eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls. "Thank you, Sister Tina, for your teaching." The three ladies nodded frequently. "Again, you can't treat yourself as a rich lady because of this. You can't touch it. If you annoy the guests, you won't be able to steal the chicken but will lose a lot of money. You must be careful. There is a lot of knowledge in the middle." Tina is persuasive. "Yes, we must learn from Sister Tina." The three ladies expressed their views one after another. "Follow me, and slowly you will be trained." Tina stopped preaching, turned to Xiaolu and asked, "Where is your luggage?" "In a small hotel near the station. I just arrived in Shenzhen yesterday, so I found a random hotel to stay in." Xiaolu answered. "Come on, I'll take you there and bring your luggage here." Tina said. Tina accompanied Xiaolu to pick up her luggage at the hotel next to the bus station in her red Bora, and then invited her to a Sichuan restaurant for dinner.Tina ordered husband and wife lung slices, Kung Pao chicken, fish head with pickled peppers and other home-cooked dishes, and ordered two bottles of beer, and drank with Xiaolu. "Sister Tina, are you from Sichuan?" Xiaolu asked. "Yes, my home is near Chengdu. I have been in Shenzhen for four or five years. When I first came to Shenzhen, this area was still very desolate. It is not as prosperous as it is now!" Tina said. "Sister Tina, how long have you been in Lido?" Zhang Xiaolu asked cautiously. "It's been almost three years. Alas, I'm a humble person. I've been working for so many years, but I still can't go ashore. After two more years, I'll retire and return to Chengdu. The climate in Shenzhen is too hot and humid. You can do whatever you want." The beauties who have been here have become yellow-faced women for a few years. Look at the women in this area of ​​Guangdong, all of them are dark-skinned and rough-faced, with grinning teeth. How can they compare with us Sichuanese? It’s not that I praise my hometown, we The water and soil in Sichuan is to support people, especially women. I’m not bragging, at least half of the top ladies in nightclubs in this area of ​​Guangdong are girls from Sichuan.” Tina said proudly. "That's right, Sichuan has been a place for beauties since ancient times. The first time I saw Sister Tina, I guessed that you were from Sichuan, elegant and feminine." Xiaolu said flatteringly.Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear.Good words sound good.Tina smiled and said: "I'm old, this industry is for youth, I have retired to the second line, and now it's your world. You have such good conditions, work hard, and it won't be long before Lido's top card You are the one." Tina patted Xiaolu. "Sister Tina," Xiaolu called out hesitantly, "I, I don't want...can I not come out?" Xiaolu mustered up the courage to say it.The introduction means that the guests took a fancy to a certain lady and took her out of the nightclub for the night.You need to report to the foreman when you come out, and the nightclub will charge you after registration.Tina glanced at Xiaolu, but said nothing.He took out a pack of Green Moore cigarettes from his bag, took out one, lit it, took two puffs lightly, and exhaled a smoke ring. "Helen, our Lido never forces the young lady to come out. Everything is voluntary. I understand your feelings. You just came in, and you can't get out of that step. I won't arrange for you to go to the private room, and work in the bar in the lobby for a while. Well, not all the perverts come to the nightclub, most of the customers are decent people." Tina said. "Thank you, Miss Tina." Xiaolu got up and thanked Tina. "However, Helen, nightclubs are places of entertainment after all, and it is impossible for you to be pure and pure. Think about it, if you are not willing to sacrifice anything, why should a lady earn more than a college graduate?" Tina held her left hand Holding his right arm, holding a cigarette between his slender fingers, he looked at Xiaolu and said. Xiaolu blushed and said she knew. "Take it easy, every young lady who just came in couldn't let go at first, after watching a lot, you'll get used to it." Tina put out the cigarette and patted Xiaolu's hand meaningfully. In this way, Zhang Xiaolu became the hostess "Helen" at the Lido Nightclub.I sleep until the afternoon before getting up, get some food with the other three girls in the same dormitory, and after the sun goes down, I start to make up and prepare the clothes for the evening. At 6 o'clock, I walked to the nightclub to work on time.The decoration of Lido Nightclub is resplendent and elegant.The walls are covered with gorgeous red bronzing wallpaper, the ceiling is hung with classical brass-colored lamps, the sofa and wall cabinets are in European style, and there are landscape or still life oil paintings hanging in the corridor.There are performances in the hall every night. The resident singers and bands are all top-notch at that time, and Hong Kong and Taiwan singers often come here.Lido's signature is DJ Mark.Mark is a veritable foreigner, tall and handsome, with blond hair tied into a ponytail, often wearing ripped denim clothes, full of wild charm.Lido's audio equipment is all imported from Italy, and the effect is very good.The music comes from the tweeters hanging around the walls, echoing in every corner of the club, making people intoxicated. Below the stage is a large dance floor.The guests danced to Mark's music, either tenderly or passionately.From time to time, cold green lasers are shot around the ceiling of the dance floor, changing various shapes, making the whole dance hall more brilliant, as if you are in a charming and glamorous palace.Behind the hall is a long corridor with closed private rooms with different decoration styles on both sides.Helen stands in front of the bar counter in the lobby to sell drinks to the guests every day, and this job is just what she wants.Here, everyone who enters and exits the nightclub can be observed.She looks forward to seeing Zhang Wanrou every night, but she is always disappointed.Guests who come to nightclubs to drink like to play a game called color cup, whoever loses will drink.A person who is good at sex cups, in addition to being courageous and quick to respond, must also have a certain amount of mental arithmetic ability.The guests often invite girls to participate in this game. Xiaolu has practiced sex cup hard with Linda and instructor Jia, and her level is not ordinary.Inadvertently, he played the color cup so superbly that it dazzled people.The huge contrast between her innocent appearance and her unrestrained and free spirit when playing with sex cups makes her extremely charming.Helen quickly became the most popular barmaid in the bar. She had to turn several tables every night, so busy that she only hated her lack of skills.Dealing with a group of strangers every day, exchanging glasses and flirting, Xiaolu gradually got used to it from being unaccustomed to it, but she sincerely hates this kind of life of making jokes.Zhang Wanrou didn't show up for a long time, which made her feel like a fire.Without instructors or comrades, Xiaolu felt like a boat drifting in the dark, unable to find its way.Once she went to the private room to deliver wine to the guests, and saw a bald guest hugging Mary, who was in the same room, making fun of her on the sofa. The bald guest put his face on Mary's chest and licked Mary's nipples with his tongue.Mary raised her head and laughed "chichi".The other guests drank and sang nonchalantly. Seeing this scene, Xiaolu felt a rush of blood rushing to her face.She seemed more ashamed than Mary.In nightclubs, Helen often saw people taking drugs.Hiding in the corner, put the white powder on the aluminum foil, heated it with a lighter, and sucked the poisonous smoke vigorously.After inhaling, throw the aluminum foil into the trash can and run to the middle of the dance floor to dance desperately.Many of the drug addicts were young girls dressed in trendy clothes. After taking drugs, they were extremely high, stripped to their underwear, and writhed wildly on the dance floor, screaming from their mouths.Not only the guests took drugs, but also many girls in nightclubs took drugs.Once, Helen and Sasha were drinking wine with a table of guests, when Shasha suddenly yawned, picked up her handbag and walked quickly to the bathroom.Helen felt that something was wrong, so she followed secretly. In front of the sink in the bathroom, she saw Sasha take out a small box and a bottle of mineral water from her bag.She poured some powder into the small box, dissolved it with mineral water, took out a syringe, drew the liquid in the box into the syringe, and injected it quickly into the vein, then leaned against the corner of the wall and closed her eyes.Seeing this, Xiaolu quickly returned to accompany the guests.A few minutes later, I saw that Sasha also came back, swept away the depression just now, radiantly competed with the guests, flirted with the guests, and behaved particularly High.Seeing Shasha's unrestrained appearance, Helen couldn't tell whether she was disgusted or sympathetic.After getting off work at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, Helen returned to the dormitory drunk, lying on the bed, listening to the three ladies in the same room talking about the guests they met that night and the tips they received, with mixed feelings in her heart, emptiness and confusion shrouded like fog . A month later, Xiaolu returned to Guangzhou as agreed, and met Director Mi at the Green Island Cafe.Xiaolu took out an envelope and gave it to her. "This is my tip and drink commission at the Lido nightclub this month, a total of 3,400 yuan." Xiaolu said. "Not bad, much higher than my salary." Director Mi chuckled and pushed the envelope back. "Take 2,000 yuan to the Provincial People's Hospital to pay the treatment fee for Li Xiuqin. Remember, you must go to the toll office to pay the fee in person, and you can keep the rest." Director Mi said. Xiaolu nodded, and put the envelope into her bag.Question: "Is the information wrong? Zhang Wanrou hasn't appeared in Lido for a month." "She is in Hong Kong during this time, and she doesn't know when she will return to Shenzhen. Don't worry, as long as she returns to Shenzhen, she will definitely show up in Lido. Just wait there." Director Mi said. "yes." Xiaolu responded.On the second day after Xiaolu returned to Shenzhen from Guangzhou, she did not wait for Zhang Wanrou, but instead waited for her reunion with Bo Zai.That day, Tina twisted her waist, walked over coquettishly and said, "Helen, go to private room No. 6, a guest is looking for you." Xiaolu followed Tina to the private room. As soon as she entered the No. 6 private room, she heard someone shout: "That's right, it's her!" Xiaolu took a closer look and saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses standing She got up and smiled at her, and she recognized him as Bo Zai whom she had met at the Guangzhou Dihao Nightclub last month, and unexpectedly called out: "It's you, are you looking for me?" Bo Zai pointed to the lean man next to him and said: "Brother Quan and I went to the bathroom just now. I saw you coming out of the bathroom. I felt familiar. I followed you all the time and saw you working in a bar outside. I said we met in Emgrand in Guangzhou last month. You and Brother Quan still Brother Quan still doesn't believe that there was a conflict, so I'll ask Tina to call you to recognize him." Seeing that Brother Quan was hugging Mary and looking at her smiling, Xiaolu also smiled and said, "Brother Quan, I offended you last time, I'm sorry." Brother Quan said with a cigarette in his mouth: "Let's forget what happened last time. I don't remember it. It seems that you and Bo Zai are destined. Let my younger brother never forget after meeting him once. You can accompany him well." .” Tina smiled and said, "This is really a fateful meeting. I like this kind of story the most. Helen, you should work in private room No. 6 tonight." She pushed Xiaolu to Bozai's side, turned around with a smile and went out.Bozai asked Xiaolu to sit down and asked, "When did you come to Shenzhen?" "It's been a month." Xiaolu answered. Bozai poured Xiaolu a glass of wine.Xiaolu took a sip of the wine, looked at the people around, except for Brother Quan, the five men in the room had never been seen before. "Come to Shenzhen to play?" Xiaolu asked. "Yeah, I'm running business in Shenzhen, and I go out to play with friends at night. This Mary is Brother Quan's old friend. Every time he comes to Shenzhen, he will definitely come to see her." Bozai said.Xiaolu saw Mary leaning on Brother Quan's shoulder, the two were whispering, it seemed that they really had a close friendship.Bozai didn't say much to Xiaolu, most of the time he was playing games with other friends and drinking, Xiaolu sat beside them boredly watching them.Mary sat obediently next to Brother Quan, and didn't talk much except pouring wine for Brother Quan.波仔要和海伦一起唱首歌，两人便合唱了一首《片片枫叶情》，赢得一片叫好。唱完歌，两人坐在角落里喝酒聊天。 “你做什么生意啊？”晓露不经意地问。 “通讯设备。” 波仔含糊地答道。 “这几个都是我的客户。” “那个泉哥也是你的客户？”晓露问。 “泉哥是在香港认识的朋友，大家都在大陆跑生意，常常一起出来玩。” 波仔道。晓露抿了一口酒，往泉哥那边看去。玛丽好像生气了，和泉哥在争执什么。包房很吵，听不清楚他们在说什么。午夜2点，泉哥起来结账，又招呼小姐们一起出去宵夜。波仔对晓露说：“一起去吧？” “我不饿，就不去了。” 晓露婉拒道。 “是不是不敢去啊？”波仔道。 “我是吧女，不是小姐，从不出台。” 晓露道。 “去宵夜而已了，不是叫你过夜了。这群小姐都去，连蒂娜也去。你不用怕了。” 波仔道。晓露还在犹豫，泉哥已经在前面喊了：“快点走了，磨蹭什么！”晓露看到蒂娜也换了衣服出来了，只好跟了上去。一群人坐着出租车来到夜市的大排档。虽然已是午夜，这里依然油烟滚滚，热闹非凡，小吃摊、烧烤摊前都坐满了食客。 他们下了车，蒂娜、海伦这些容颜靓丽、衣着光鲜的美女的到来，引得食客们纷纷侧目，让夜市更加热闹了。他们在一家叫“欧记美食联盟”的招牌前停下，摊主连忙热情地上前招呼，送上干净的餐具，殷勤地端茶倒水。波仔让晓露坐在自己身边，倒茶给她洗了碗杯，又用餐巾纸擦了擦筷子，递给晓露。波仔的温柔体贴让晓露心里放松些了。她看了看衣着整齐的波仔，又看看其他男人，泉哥他们个个敞胸露怀，满口粗言秽语，不时大声咳嗽，毫无顾忌地把一口痰吐得老远，心想，这个长相斯文的波仔怎么会和这群粗俗不堪的人混在一起。宵夜上来了，居然有一盘蛇。一桌人一人一瓶啤酒开始畅饮。晓露不吃蛇，波仔又为她点了一盘烤鱼。晓露看到小姐们都很放松，包括蒂娜都放下了架子，嘻嘻哈哈地与他们猜拳喝酒，便偷偷问波仔：“你们和蒂娜很熟吗？” “蒂娜和我们是老相识了，她还在做小姐的时候，我们就认识了。虽然她现在当上了妈咪，我们来她也不能不给面子。” 波仔道。晓露“哦”了一声，低头吃了一口鱼。蒂娜笑着看着他们，说：“波仔，今晚我看你一直都在和海伦说话，都不理别人了，是不是看上我们海伦了？”晓露红了脸，看了一眼波仔。波仔道：“哪里，蒂娜姐手下个个都是靓女，我一个都不敢得罪，只是我看海伦刚来，不懂事，所以多和她聊聊。” “我们海伦原来可是大学生呢，和你这个四眼秀才可是一对。” 蒂娜道。 “是吗？海伦原来是大学生啊？”一桌人睁大了眼睛问。 晓露的脸更红了，嗫嚅道：“只上了三个月而已。” “海伦的妈妈病了，需要一大笔医药费，供不起她了，她便退了学，来夜总会赚钱给妈妈交医药费。海伦本不该是入我们这行的人，只是命不好。” 蒂娜说。 泉哥举起酒瓶向晓露敬酒：“我最敬佩有孝心的人，上次得罪了，现在我喝完这半瓶，算是给你赔罪。” 说完，仰头把半瓶啤酒咕噜咕噜地倒进嘴里。 “你什么时候得罪过我们海伦？”蒂娜问。 “那事我已经忘记了，以后就别提了。” 晓露连忙说。 “不提了。俗话说不打不相识嘛，现在我们不是坐在一桌喝酒了嘛。” 波仔道。于是大家纷纷喝酒吃菜，话题转向别处。宵夜吃到3点多钟大家才起身要散，玛丽跟泉哥走了，其余的小姐跟蒂娜回宿舍。晓露离开的时候，波仔在她手里塞了点东西，晓露感觉到是钱，正想拒绝，波仔对她眨了眨眼睛，把她推上了出租车。在车上，蒂娜拍着晓露的手说：“波仔喜欢上你了。” 晓露不好意思地说：“蒂娜姐开玩笑吧。我都不知道的事，你倒先知道了。” “我是什么眼神？男女之间那点事能瞒过我的眼睛？这个波仔不错的，长得斯斯文文，对女人出手又大方。常来夜总会玩的人里，他的口碑不差，是个有绅士风度的人。” 晓露握着手里那团纸币，不做声。回到宿舍打开手一看，是五张百元人民币。她苦笑了一下，把钱放进包里，洗洗睡了。 之后一连几天都不见波仔和泉哥出现在夜总会，晓露心里有些怅然若失。看到玛丽似乎也是郁郁寡欢的样子，想问一下她泉哥的动向，又怕她猜出自己实则是想打探波仔的消息，遭她耻笑，便忍住不问。倒是玛丽沉不住气了，一天晚上下班后，偷偷问晓露：“海伦，波仔最近找过你吗？” “没有。他找我干吗，要是他来夜总会，你不也看见了？”晓露答。 “哦。那他们就是还没有从香港回来。” 玛丽自言自语了一声，不再问了。一周之后的傍晚，晓露的呼机响了，她跑到街口的电话亭回电话，话筒里传来一个男人的声音。 “你好，海伦！猜猜我是谁？” “你是波仔。” “哈哈，一个礼拜没见，还没忘记我啊，满足了我小小的自尊心。今天晚上我请你吃饭好吗？” “这……我晚上还要上班呢。” 对波仔的再次出现，晓露心里是暗暗高兴的，但还是婉拒了。 “请假吧。我前段时间回香港了，今天一回来就请你吃饭，给个面子？”波仔道。 “那……好吧。” 晓露答应了。连续一个多月在夜总会那种地方陪喝、陪聊也倦了，波仔这个人看起来还不讨厌，换个环境出去透透气也好。晓露给蒂娜打电话，谎称自己身体不舒服，请假一天。 蒂娜没有为难，很爽快地答应了。放下电话，晓露回到宿舍，洗了一把脸，换了一件白色棉布连衣裙，就出去了。在东山湖旁的雨花石西餐厅，波仔看到素颜的晓露走进来，脸上露出惊喜的笑容。 “嗨，海伦！你现在这个样子比在俱乐部看到的更靓了！”波仔没等晓露坐下，便迫不及待地送上赞美。晓露笑着坐在对面的座位上。波仔用双手捧出一个精致的纸袋：“这是送给你的。” 晓露有些意外地接过来，打开纸袋，拿出里面的盒子。盒子用天蓝色的包装纸包着，中间还扎着漂亮的粉色蝴蝶结。生平第一次收到这么精美的礼物，这精致的外包装竟然让她舍不得一下拆开。 “拆开看看吧，从香港带回来的，希望你喜欢。” 波仔道。晓露小心翼翼地拆开包装纸，打开一看，是一套日本资生堂的化妆品。 “谢谢，谢谢你送给我这么贵重的礼物。” 晓露道。 “毛毛雨啦，能认识海伦这样的小姐是我的荣幸。” 波仔道。吃完饭，波仔又提议一起去散散步。晓露同意了，两人出了餐厅，来到湖边，沿着东山湖边走边聊。广东一带的男人身材大多矮小，晓露穿上高跟鞋身高超过一米七，日常遇到的比她高的男人不能说罕见，至少也是不多。穿着球鞋的波仔能比穿高跟鞋的晓露还稍高一点，这让她觉得很舒服。波仔长得清瘦清瘦的，眉眼修长，轮廓分明。单眼皮，高鼻梁，一副金丝眼镜让他带着几分文气。是大多数女孩都喜欢的类型。波仔很健谈，这些年走南闯北地跑业务，让他见多识广，谈资颇丰。他兴致勃勃地说着各地的奇闻逸事，添油加料，插科打诨，不时把晓露逗得大笑。谈笑风生中，两人的关系拉近了。波仔对晓露似乎很感兴趣，看她的神情始终专注而兴奋。晓露到丽都夜总会工作一个多月来，天天挂着假笑与各式人等虚与委蛇，第一次可以这么轻松地和一个青年男子聊天散步，且这个男子一直在向自己投以爱慕的眼光，这对晓露是一种新鲜的体验，让她有些陶醉。波仔询问晓露的过去。 晓露把自己的简历说了一遍：出生不久，父母离异，刚满月就被爷爷送给广州一个远亲收养，至今没有见过亲生母亲。她特别提到爷爷对自己的影响，因为爷爷出身于武林世家，按他的要求，自己从小被送到武校习武，曾获得过若干个国家级和省级武术比赛的冠军。因为这个特长，被广州对外经贸大学特招，本想好好念书，大学毕业后找个好工作，没想到因养母患病，只读了三个月就被迫辍学。这些简历大部分是真实的，所以晓露说得很自然。有场景，有细节，波仔深信不疑。 “看你文文静静的，没想到你还会武功。你的身世好传奇啊。” 波仔惊奇地说。 “不信吗？”晓露问。她走到湖堤边的柳树旁，伸手掰下一枝柳条来，然后敛神聚气，以柳条当剑，表演起剑法来。皓月当空，春风微醺，一个白衣少女在湖边舞剑。这样的场景人生能有几回见？波仔看呆了。 “看剑！”伴着一声轻喝，柳条点在波仔的胸前。波仔的魂被拉回来，晓露黑白分明的丹凤眼正盯着自己。也许就是在那一瞬间，波仔真的爱上了晓露。几秒钟过后，波仔才想起叫好，用力鼓起掌来。晓露丢开柳条，略带羞涩地说，献丑了。 “海伦，”波仔说，“能告诉我你的真名叫什么吗？” “我叫张晓露。” “你知道你舞剑的动作有多潇洒吗？你刚才的样子真的是好靓啊！”波仔由衷地赞叹道。 “哪里，技艺不精，不足挂齿。” 晓露双手抱拳，客气地说。 “你这么多才多艺，在夜总会上班太委屈了，你将来怎么打算？”波仔问。 “现在养母每个月透析的费用都要2000元，等她的病情好转了再说吧。” 晓露答。 “你能为养母做这样的牺牲，这份孝心真是难得。” 波仔道。 “养母对我有养育之恩，我怎么能不管她。” 晓露答。 “养母的病好之后，你想干什么呢？”波仔又问。 “先回学校读书，拿到大学文凭，毕业后找个坐办公室的工作。每年假期的时候去旅行，全国各地走一走，如果有可能，最好能到国外看看，看看别的国家的人民是怎么生活的。” 晓露答。 这些愿望虽然简单，却是她心里真实的想法。波仔对未来的构想也很简单，那就是赚钱。他的理想是成为像李嘉诚那样的大富豪，而不是一个为老板跑腿的马仔。他相信自己的能力，相信自己一定能够赚到大钱！晓露想引导他一下，便说：“有钱也不代表一切啊！” “不，有钱就能自由地选择一切！有了钱，想要什么就有什么，想干什么就干什么。如果有了钱，你就可以给养母做最好的治疗，就可以在大学无忧无虑地读书了！用得着退学到夜总会这种地方上班吗？”波仔道。晓露问：“你打算怎么赚钱？” “什么赚钱做什么。除了抢劫杀人不能做，其他都可以做。” 波仔道。 “贩毒、走私难道可以做吗？”晓露笑道。波仔愣了一下，诡笑着对晓露耳语般地说道：“只要能赚钱，为什么不可以呢？”晓露吓了一跳。她猛地闪开，看着他说：“你说什么？你真的……” “看把你吓的，开个玩笑而已。” 波仔哈哈笑起来。晓露松了一口气，半信半疑地看着他。波仔笑了笑，过来挽住她的手：“你放心，我不是坏人。天晚了，我们走吧。” 波仔打的送晓露回宿舍。在楼下告别的时候，波仔突然搂住了她，在她耳边轻轻地说：“晓露，你跟了我吧，我会让你过上好日子的！”晓露没有回答，挣脱了他的胳膊，转身上了楼。 寻呼机在一分钟之内响了三次，寻呼者没有留下姓名，显示的号码却是街口的公共电话。晓露疑惑地跑下楼，正想往电话亭走去，突然从墙角闪出一个人挡在自己面前。 “是去回电话吗？不用费事了。” 波仔笑嘻嘻地说。 “原来是你在搞鬼，怎么不用自己的大哥大呼？”晓露停住脚，奇怪地问。 “想和你开个玩笑。我们走吧。” 波仔说。 “走？去哪里？”晓露说。 “你别管，跟我走就是了。” 波仔一把拉住晓露的手。 “不说去哪里，我不会跟你走。” 晓露说。 “你怕什么，怕我卖了你？卖了你谁帮我点钱呢？”波仔开了句玩笑。 “我倒不怕你卖了我，我们俩谁卖谁还不一定呢。” 晓露答。 “既然不怕，就走啊。” 波仔不由分说地拉着晓露就走。 “走就走，谁怕谁啊！”晓露心一横跟着波仔走了。波仔正要伸手拦的士，晓露突然发现自己身上穿得太随意，刚才穿着一件半旧的灰色长袖T恤和牛仔裤就跑下楼了，脚上套着的还是一双人字拖鞋，便道：“等我回去换套衣服和鞋子。” 波仔回头看了晓露一眼：“不用换了，我带你去买新的吧！”两人乘坐的士来到国贸商厦，波仔拉着晓露的手直奔女鞋专柜，说：“我们先从鞋子买起吧！”两个小时之后，晓露身穿ELLE的粉色礼服裙，脚蹬DIOR的银色镶钻高跟凉鞋，手上挽着GUCCI的白色手袋，出现在波仔面前。波仔轻轻吹了一声口哨：“OK！港姐冠军也不过如此！我们走吧！”两人又乘车来到蛇口，在码头下了车。只见一艘豪华游轮停泊在岸边，邮轮上写着“海上世界”几个字。晓露随波仔沿着扶梯上到第三层的一间法式餐厅。波仔报上名字，穿着海军水兵服的迎宾小姐将他们领到一个靠窗的卡座坐下。餐厅装修得颇有欧式古典风格，浪漫华美。卡座上的座位是吊篮式的藤椅，上面缠着紫色的吊钟花。窗框镶着一圈美丽的白色石膏花边，往窗外看去，可以眺望到大海蓝天。女招待皆穿着海军水兵服，活泼俏丽。 晓露第一次来到这里，新奇地打量着四周。 “请问两位吃点什么？”点餐女招待染了一头金发，在腮边点了一颗黑痣，贴了长长的假睫毛，像一个会动的芭比娃娃。 “来两份A套餐。” 波仔答。 “喝点什么？”芭比娃娃问。 “你们这里最好的香槟是什么？”波仔问。 “最好的是法国的酩悦香槟。” “好。就来一瓶酩悦玫瑰香槟。” 晓露知道酩悦香槟的价格，便道：“太奢侈了，喝这么贵的酒干吗？” “只要你开心，不用管价钱。” 波仔道。不一会儿，香槟送上来了，由一位穿黑色长礼服戴白手套的男招待开启，粉红色的香槟随着白色的气泡缓缓地注入两只高脚玻璃杯里。波仔举起香槟酒对晓露说：“晓露，祝你生日快乐！” “什么？我生日？”晓露呆住了。 “对不起，前天晚上趁你上洗手间的时候，我打开过你的钱包，偷看了你的身份证，知道今天是你的生日。” 波仔含笑看着晓露。晓露的身份证是米处长给的，上面信息与实际不符。这一天并不是她的生日。 “错了吗？今天是9月12号，不是你19岁的生日吗？”看到晓露奇怪的表情，波仔不安地问。 “不，没错。是太意外了。我从来不过生日，所以自己都不记得了。” 晓露答。兰姨家从来没有过生日的习惯，从小到大，晓露连生日红蛋都没有吃过一个。 “真是个苦命的女子啊，这么说，我是第一个为你庆祝生日的人了？” “是，你是第一个记得我生日并为我庆祝的人。” 晓露答。她从不觉得自己的生日是一个值得庆祝的日子。 “我还真是荣幸呢，成为第一个为美丽的晓露小姐庆祝生日的人，这样，你永远都忘不了我了。” 波仔举起酒杯，“来，干杯！祝你永远青春美丽！” “谢谢！”晓露亦举起酒杯，一饮而尽。扑鼻的丝丝酒香，夹杂着白柠檬和葡萄花蕾的芳香，带着微微的辛辣感。晓露只觉得口感醇厚，舌齿留香，令人回味。虽然晓露并不是第一次喝酩悦香槟，却是第一次品尝出它的好来。在丽都酒吧，小姐们为了把酒推销出去，想方设法让客人喝酒，同时也利用一切机会把酒灌进自己肚里。多喝一杯酒意味月底的提成就会增加若干人民币。那些酒汁滚下喉咙，从未给味蕾带来过美妙的享受。无论是上万一瓶的路易十三还是几元一瓶的珠江啤酒，在晓露嘴里都是一个味儿。 “嗯，这酒不错，是正品。” 波仔一饮而尽后，放下杯子，赞叹道。 “是。这是我第一次品尝到这么美的酒，酩悦不愧是香槟之王。” 晓露也由衷地赞叹道。菜一道道地上来了。牛扒、鹅肝、水果沙律、奶油牡蛎汤，每一道菜都用造型别致的器皿盛上来，器皿上还配以赏心悦目的鲜花，精致得让人不忍下口。餐厅前方，有一个穿着黑色燕尾服的男士在拉小提琴，轻松优美的旋律在餐厅回旋。见晓露被小提琴手吸引住了，波仔打了一个响指，立即有一个女招待走过来，波仔对她耳语了几句，女招待点点头，转身离去。过了一会儿，那位穿黑色燕尾服的小提琴手走了过来。 “请问两位要点什么曲子？”小提琴手彬彬有礼地问。 “我不知道什么曲目，今天是我女朋友的生日，你挑一首能代表我的心意的曲子献给她吧。” 波仔道。 “看得出来这位先生深爱着这位美丽的小姐，我就演奏一曲《爱的礼赞》吧。” 小提琴手说。 “好，这个曲目听起来正应景。” 波仔笑道，对晓露眨了眨眼。晓露脸红了，正想阻止，小提琴手已经开始拉了起来。小提琴手左手持琴，右手拿弓，头发一甩，美妙的音乐便从琴弦上流淌出来。晓露没有受过音乐教育，亦是第一次在这么近的距离听小提琴演奏。小提琴那华丽而舒缓的音质让她觉得荡气回肠，她专注地欣赏着这首《爱的礼赞》，被弓弦之间缓缓倾注出的深情柔美的旋律深深地感动。一曲终了，波仔拿出一张百元钞票递给小提琴手，小提琴手鞠躬道谢，转身离去。 “好听吗？这曲《爱的礼赞》，正好代表我的心意。” 波仔笑着问晓露。 晓露从刚才的感动中回过神来，嗔道：“我什么时候成了你的女朋友了？” “从我们认识的第一天起，你就是我的女朋友了。” 波仔道。 “我可从来没有答应过。” 晓露道。 “我要跪地请求吗？”波仔站起来，作势要下跪。晓露连忙站起来阻止，“你干什么！这是公共场所，别被人笑话。” 波仔趁机抓住晓露的手，说：“那么我现在正式请求你做我的女朋友，你答应吗？”晓露红着脸看着波仔道：“我们之间并不了解……” “在爱情中，了解并不是最重要的，最重要的是互相有感觉。我第一次见你，就觉得你很特别，和我以前认识的女孩子都不一样，虽然你在夜总会上班，但给我感觉依然很清纯。而且你多才多艺，能文能武，我刚才叫小提琴手过来演奏，不过是附庸风雅，我根本听不懂。但我看你听得很认真
