Chapter 2642 It’s raining in Nancheng tonight 03
That day, Ren Xian did not show up at the club.
He accompanied Xie Shao on a short business trip and returned exhausted two days later.
Jinchen works the night shift.
It was getting dark, and it was not yet the official evening business hours. The hall was dimly lit, with only a few spotlights on, making it look a bit deserted.
Behind the bartender, Jinchen was wearing the club's uniform. A simple black shirt highlighted his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His cuffs were casually rolled up to his forearms. He was holding a glass and wiping it with a soft cloth. His fingers were clean and slender.
The spotlight from the upper side cast a dim light, casting shadows on the high bridge of the nose and the brow bone, making him look indifferent to everything.
He was tall and conspicuous even when standing behind the stage. He only had to lower his eyes to see who he wanted to see. During the time he worked here, many people, both men and women, wanted to chat with him, both openly and covertly, but no one received any special treatment.
Except for the boss Ren Xian, other employees don't even have his personal contact information.
Ren Xian walked straight to the bar, his face a little tired, but the displeasure between his eyebrows was even more obvious.
He sat down on the high stool and tapped the table with his fingertips, "A glass of crystal amber." Ren Xian spoke in a deep voice.
Jinchen raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly.
It was not yet the peak business hours and there were not many customers in the venue, so he started to mix the drink as he was told.
The shaker clinked crisply in his hands, and the ice cubes jingled.
"I want to resign." Jinchen repeated the words in the previous text message in a calm tone.
Ren Xian's brows furrowed even more tightly.
He came here to resolve this matter, but when he heard Jinchen say it in such a tone with no room for maneuver, he still felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Before he started dating Xie Shao, he had had feelings for Jin Chen. This guy was eye-catching and had a unique temperament, but he was as cold as ice that could not be warmed up.
If he hadn't helped him several times before, Jinchen probably wouldn't have agreed to their plan.
When Ren Xian chose Jinchen, he might have subconsciously been certain that someone like Jinchen, who had very low emotional needs, would not really fall in love with anyone.
"Why do you have to resign?" Ren Xian suppressed his anger, his eyes unconsciously following Jin Chen's hands as he stirred the cocktail. "Are you really in love with Xie Linzhou?"
He tried to find out, "Don't forget what you promised us."
Jinchen glanced at him, his hands still moving, and said lazily, "He's about to return home."
He slowly poured the prepared liqueur into the glass before looking up at Ren Xian.
"You're the boss of the club I work for. Do you think he won't be able to find out after he returns to his country?"
Ren Xian was stunned, looked away, and began to think subconsciously.
This is indeed a problem. Xie Linzhou is not stupid. He didn't suspect anything before because of the Internet and the distance.
Once you return to China, it will be difficult to avoid being exposed if you dig a little deeper.
"So where do you want to go?" Ren Xian asked from a different angle, his tone a little softer. "Given your conditions, there should be a lot of bars and clubs that want to rent you out."
Jinchen: "Lindao Bar."
Ren Xian: “?”
He went through the list of relatively famous bars in South City in his mind and confirmed that he had never heard of this name before. "Where is it? How come I have never heard of it?"
Jinchen pushed the prepared crystal amber in front of him, and the wine took on a pure amber color.
"I'm going to open a bar."
Ren Xian was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the glass of wine.
The rich smoky aroma and sweet vermouth blend wonderfully, creating a unique flavor, which is his favorite taste.
He gripped the cold cup tightly, his words tinged with sarcasm, "Lin Island? Which Lin? Xie Linzhou's Lin?"
Ren Xian scoffed, "Is this what you mean, you didn't like him?"
Jinchen picked up the clean soft cloth beside him and wiped his hands slowly. "You didn't specify how I should complete the task. I don't need you to interfere in this matter."
Ren Xian was choked by these words and was speechless for a moment.
He tilted his head back and took a big sip of wine, but it failed to quench the inexplicable irritability in his heart.
He stared straight at Jinchen's expressionless face, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said something ambiguous: "It's really fresh."
Xie Linzhou actually has such great charm.
"At least finish this week." Ren Xian finally took a step back.
Jinchen's departure was a loss to him. Whether from the perspective of bartending skills or attracting customers, he was reluctant to let him go.
But right now, the things are not in hand yet. If Xie Linzhou finds out first, it will be more trouble than gain.
Jinchen: "Okay."
Ren Xian lowered his eyes, looking at the amber liquid swaying in the glass, and said in a complicated tone, "This drink... I quite like it. I'm afraid that after you leave, no bartender will be able to replicate this taste."
Jinchen has already started cleaning the used tools, and the sound of running water is loud.
Without even looking up, his voice came through the sound of water, "Boss, it's almost business time."
That's it again.
As long as he finishes talking about the topics he thinks are necessary, Jinchen will not say another word.
Ren Xian felt depressed, but he had no idea what to do. He picked up the glass of crystal amber and went upstairs.
Jinchen turned off the faucet and carefully wiped the water stains on his hands with a paper towel.
Before the first batch of customers arrived in the evening, he took out his cell phone, fixed it in an inconspicuous place on the bar, and started recording.
Jinchen took out another set of clean utensils, and the wine blended in his hands and poured into the pre-cooled martini glass. The wine showed a transparent light purple color, like the last rays of light in the evening sky.
Jinchen took a close-up of the glass of wine and sent the video to Xie Linzhou.
Then he placed the glass of wine in the storage compartment under the workbench so that no customer could see it.
