Chapter 6: Dating is meaningless

The college entrance examination results won't be out until the 20th, which is still half a month away.

Xu Ye found a summer job in advance just to accumulate some initial capital. For Xu Ye, the most important thing now is money.

As for love, dogs don’t even talk about it.

He slept until dawn. Because he had to go to work at night, Xu Ye stayed in bed for a while today. Not long after getting up, Qin Zhiwei sent a message.

Autistic patient: “Have you read the group messages?”

Xu: "No."

Autistic patient: "Li Nan said that there will be a class reunion tomorrow. We will go to a restaurant to eat in the evening and then go to KTV to sing in the evening."

Xu: "I'm not free."

In fact, these high school classmates have few contacts after going to college. Xu Ye actually did not have a high sense of presence in the class during the three years of high school. Due to his severe partiality in subjects, his grades were mediocre. In addition to being with Qin Zhiwei, he Chatting, having nothing to say to others.

Autistic patient: "You won't participate in this?"

Xu: "Then what else can I do? I've just started work for one day and I'm asking for leave?"

Autistic patient: "This kind of gathering probably only happens once in a lifetime, and Gu Mengyao will definitely come too."

Xu: "What does it have to do with me whether she goes or not?"

Autistic patient: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Gu Mengyao, haven't you always liked her?"

Xu: "That was before."

Autistic patient: "Pretend, if you keep pretending, don't talk to her tomorrow night if you dare."

Xu Ye did not reply again.

In the afternoon, Xu Ye read a lot of stock-related content at home. Although he knew that 2014 to 2015 was a bull market, he knew nothing about how to operate stocks. Watching some tutorials in advance was a preview.

At around four o'clock, Xu Ye set off early to meet the music tavern. The proprietress Pei Youwei had just arrived at the store and was sitting in front of the counter. Her jade feet with red ropes tied around her ankles were stepping on the bar of the high stool, and she was turning the page with her left hand. Account book, holding a calculator in his right hand, as if calculating accounts.

"Lady boss, I'm here."

Pei Youwei turned around with a lollipop in her mouth. Seeing Xu Ye coming, she was a little surprised: "Are you really here?"

Xu Ye shrugged: "I always keep my word."

Pei Youwei smiled. She had a beautiful smile. Her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon. If you look closer, you can see a tear mole in the corner of her right eye.

A few years later, many artists will put a fake mole on the corner of their eye for makeup purposes, but now, it has not become popular yet.

Pei Youwei stood up and put on her shoes, found a piece of clothing worn by a waiter and handed it to Xu Ye: "What you have to do is very simple. Serve wine to the customers during business hours. After the customers leave, wipe the tables and clean them. Our store You have to help with the cleaning every two weeks.”

"clear."

"Let me introduce you, her name is Zhang Xiaonuan, she is the cashier in our store, you have met this little beauty yesterday, her name is Zhou Ying."

Xu Ye nodded when he looked at them, which was regarded as saying hello.

It was not dark yet and there were no customers in the store. After Zhou Ying took Xu Ye to familiarize herself with the work process, she started waiting in the store.

As the lanterns came on, night quickly covered the entire city.

Customers finally started coming to the store.

They are all young lovers, and most of them are students who have just finished the college entrance examination like Xu Ye.

Couples of this age are all like this, shy and coy, always choosing a corner to sit wherever they go, as if they are having an underground love affair.

It's different when you go to college. Couples at this stage are much more unrestrained. In school, you can often see a man and a woman nibbling each other in the woods.

Pei Youwei saw Xu Yechu standing next to the counter and took the initiative to chat: "Xiao Xu, do you have a partner?"

"No."

"I don't believe it." Pei Youwei said with a smile: "You are so handsome, there should be many girls in the school who like you, right? I am someone who has been here, you can't fool me."

Xu Ye really doesn’t know this.

However, he has been hanging around Gu Mengyao since the first year of high school. Even if there was someone who liked him, he would have given up long ago.

"No really, I'm not very good at chasing people, and I don't think falling in love is interesting."

Pei Youwei became interested immediately. High school students are the time when love begins. Many people have a crush on someone in high school.

For a woman of Pei Youwei's age, falling in love may not be interesting.

But how can you, a high school student, say such things?

"Dating is boring, so what do you think is interesting?"

"Making money."

"Making money?"

"Yeah, money is the most important thing."

"Why are you, a high school student, so philistine?"

Xu Ye smiled and said: "Boss lady, I am now a quasi-college student."

Pei Youwei was amused again. When she was about to answer the call, she saw someone walking in at the door. She quickly waved her hand and said with a smile: "Here he comes."

"Um."

The person who came in was a young man who was about twenty-five years old, carrying a guitar on his back, with long hair, and dressed like a typical literary young man.

As soon as he entered the store, he sat down in the music area and started playing and singing by himself.

It's a music pub.

Resident singers are definitely indispensable.

But after he started singing, Zhang Xiaonuan made a small report next to Pei Youwei: "Boss Boss, he is late again today."

Pei Youwei sighed softly: "Forget it, it's hard to find a resident singer now."

Xu Ye asked curiously: "Boss lady, how much does he cost per month?"

"He calculates it on a daily basis, 150 a day, and two hours of singing is enough."

"ah?"

"Ah, what, are you envious of someone else's high salary? "

Xu Ye pursed his lips: "His singing is just average."

Xu Ye's voice was not loud, but Pei Youwei heard it keenly. She smiled and said: "If you think his singing is average, when he finishes singing, you can sing one too. If you can sing better than him, I’ll give you an extra hundred.”

Being a waiter for six hours a day only costs a few dozen yuan, and singing for two hours only costs a hundred and fifty yuan. Xu Ye agreed without even thinking about it: "Okay, I'm not afraid of embarrassment."

Xu Ye originally liked music. After going to college, in order to make Gu Mengyao happy, he joined the guitar club when he was a freshman. He spent all his spare time practicing guitar every day, and his level was not low.

But after graduation, in order to make money and live, I gradually gave up this hobby.

Xu Ye looked at the guitar in the young man's hand and felt a little distracted for a moment.

"Xu Ye, Xu Ye."

"What's wrong?"

"Your phone has been ringing." Zhou Ying reminded.

Xu Ye picked up his phone and took a look. It was a message from class monitor Li Nan, or about tomorrow's class reunion.

Xu Ye was too lazy to answer.

Pei Youwei saw him put down the phone and raised her eyebrows: "Why didn't you reply? Could it be from your girlfriend?"

"No, it was sent by the class monitor, explaining that I already said I won't go to the class reunion tomorrow."

"High school reunions are rare, why don't you go?"

"It's not interesting..."

"Are you afraid that you'll be embarrassed to ask for leave the next day when you first come to work?"

"I simply don't want to go."

"Oh, it's okay. I'll let you take a day off tomorrow. As you can see, the store is actually not very busy."

Xu Ye hesitated to speak, but finally nodded: "Okay, thank you boss lady."
