Chapter 556 Extra – Lu Haochen and the Other Xian (I)
Almost, almost, I can almost touch the edge of the coin, but there is no way to pick it out. No, a dollar is also money, gritted his teeth, and then make the effort, with the fingertips slowly move, move, move …
“Fairy.”
Who’s called Fairy, I turned around in shock and flicked my finger, sending the coin further away, I got up in frustration and looked at the man in the doorway without looking at him, “Who are you?”
He didn’t answer, frowning as he sized me up and asked rhetorically, “Who are you?”
What an inexplicable man, this is this girl’s territory, okay? But this man is quite good-looking, especially those eyes, dark, dark, just looking at people a little creepy, my heart thumped, this is not a man to be messed with, so I slowed down my voice, “Who are you looking for? No one is allowed in here.”
“Why did you come in?”
“I’m cleaning.”
He nodded and walked in, surveying the room again, “Is it done?”
The way he spoke was very imposing, like a king, looking out of the world … I opened my mouth wide at once and looked at him in surprise, I should have to think about it, except for the big boss, who can have this kind of momentum?
“You, you are Mr. Lu, right?” I groveled and asked him timidly.
The man sat down and actually smiled, “You’re pretty smart, did you just get down on the floor to wipe the dust from under the cabinet?”
I was very wide awake and nodded my head, “Yes, yes, yes, I was dusting under the cabinet and didn’t notice you come in.”
“You’re the housekeeper here?”
“Yeah, I’m housekeeping.”
“How do you do housekeeping at a young age?” He had a smile on his face, but the words he asked came out aggressively, giving me a moment’s hesitation as to how to answer.
I am eighteen years old this year, just graduated from high school, from a young age do not love to study, only like to play, can mix to high school graduation, my family feel that should be burned high incense. Although the study can not, but I look sweet, have a pair of big black eyes, flashing, fascinated by those boys every day with my ass turn, they flatter me, give me to buy good food, buy beautiful clothes, and sometimes Hou also give money.
I love it when they flatter me, when they look at me, when they grovel before me and feel like a queen.
My first job was as a waitress in a nightclub, and I was a fish out of water in a place like that. The music, the lights, the hormones, it was a real blast, and even though I didn’t have any money, it was a real blast!
I slept during the day and ambled around like an energetic butterfly among all kinds of men. Winking and kissing at them in exchange for handsome tips.
My parents thought I was totally depraved, and they wanted to save me, so they commissioned someone to send me here, starting at the bottom of the janitorial ladder, hoping I’d get my feet on the ground and start over.
That’s why I’m here.
But I said, “Because my family is poor, didn’t study much, can’t find a good job, so … But,” I said with my chin up, very confidently, “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing janitorial work, and sitting in an office The same, are paid by labor, just a different division of labor.”
Mr. Lu nodded, I could tell that he appreciated my words, “What’s your name?”
Names are hard, and I replied very reluctantly, “My name is Xu Xian.”
Lu was always stunned for a second, seemingly in disbelief, “Your name is Xu Xian?”
I really didn’t want to admit it, but I knew I couldn’t lie to him, and besides, my license plate was hanging on my chest, so anyone with a sharp eye could see it. Sure enough he just glanced at my work number plate and smiled, “Your name is really Xu Xian.”
I lowered my head, not wanting him to see the embarrassment on my face. Since I was a kid, I really hated this name, I don’t know if it’s because my mom is especially obsessed with the White Snake legend? Why else would she name me Xu Xian, I’d rather be called Xu Suzhen, at least that’s a female.
Since elementary school, there are male classmates to make fun of my name, most of the children at that stage are not enlightened, do not know to appreciate my beauty, their focus is always on my name, for this, I rolled up my sleeves and they fight, to later, I do not have to do it, naturally, there are senior boys to step in for me.
About from that time onwards, began to be called my red face, red face scourge well, of course, I know, but I do not oppose, at least than Xu Xian good to hear, to later, in addition to the teacher in the classroom called me Xu Xian outside, all the people are called my red face. One to two to call open, to later, we almost forgot my real name, and even some just met new friends thought my surname red name face.
Mr. Lu looked at me for a while and suddenly asked, “Why don’t you take a rag when you wipe the dust?”
I did not expect him to be so observant, for a moment some panic, but fortunately the reaction is quite fast, I spread out my palm to show him, “The rag can’t make it strong, it’s easier to use my hands.” In order to pick up that coin, my hand had been feeling under the cabinet for half a day, and it had long been blackened.
Mr. Lu looked at me again with that approving gaze, “You’re not afraid to get dirty.”
Not to mention the bottom of the cupboard, or even dropped in the toilet I dare to pick up, after all, it is money!
I have no other favorites as a person, but I love money, so I love every penny, even a dime, I’m not willing to give it up.
Mr. Lu should have a lot of money, right? He not only owns this tech company, but also Luk’s, which is one of the biggest corporations in the whole of Asia Bay. I heard that all the cleaning staff there have a college degree, so with my qualifications, I’m sure I’m not qualified. He only comes here once in a long time, and he won’t stay long before he leaves. I feel very lucky to have met him. I was thinking about buying a lottery ticket on my way home from work.
“I’m going to work, you go out.” When Mr. Lu said this, his expression was already somewhat indifferent, which indicated that his interest in me had come to an end, so I immediately bowed wisely and quickly left with my tools.
Although I am young, but I am very good at dealing with men, and I am best at observing faces, Mr. Lu gave me the feeling that firstly, he is a dignified person, a so-called big man, and secondly, he does not have much patience, and according to my past experience, I should have stayed in front of him for a longer time. Finally, I decided that he was not a womanizer, which was deduced in view of the second point.
Lu is a man very much to my liking, but if he’s not greedy for beauty, I’m not sure I can take him.
As I sat in the tool shed pondering all this, I was taken aback by my own boldness in hitting on the big boss… I don’t even know when we’ll meet next!
Before leaving work, I purposely slipped in front of Mr. Lu’s door, the door of the room was closed, I don’t know if he is still inside. If not, I wanted to go in and pick up the coin.
Someone came over at the end of the corridor, I took the mop and scratched large letters on the floor very seriously, I recognized that it was the manager of the finance department, he must have gone to the office of Mr. Lu, I quietly followed him, the moment I opened the door, I saw Mr. Lu sitting in his big chair, talking to a few people, his expression was serious, and he was frowning.
I think he talks to me in a nicer manner than he does to executives. Does that mean that he actually has a few favors for me.
This is the age of the face, a beautiful face can bring unexpected benefits, this is what I have concluded since I learned that anything is possible if you dare to think about it.
Although I coughed in the corridor the moment the door opened, Mr. Lu didn’t pay any attention to me, the man who concentrates on his work is really attractive, and at that moment, I admit that I was attracted to him.
So much so that in the days to come, I stayed in Mr. Lu’s office for a long time, and even took a rag to wipe the dust from under the filing cabinet, but that coin, I never took it out, not to give it up, but to leave it there, so that I could think about it. Thinking about it is thinking about Mr. Lu. As a matter of fact, men are always associated with money in my mind, and only when I think of money will I think of a corresponding man.
For example, there was once a man who offered me 10,000 dollars for my first night, and I was thrown a glass of red wine on the spot, woefully out of luck and almost infuriated. Although I have never seen him since, just the thought of ten thousand dollars makes me think of him.
There is also a man, accurately should be a boy, than I’m still two years younger, he stole two thousand dollars from the family had to stuff me, although I love money, but also take the right way, stolen money resolutely do not want, so refused, he was very frustrated, swore that in the future to earn money, must be to support me. He next year, the college entrance examination, I hope he can get a good school, after graduation to find a good job, maybe then, he can really support me. In my heart, two thousand dollars is him.
Of course, the person has nothing to do with the amount of money at all, or else Mr. Lu would be worth only one dollar, and I would not even be worth it for him!
Since I started working at Tianchen, my family thinks I’ve become much better behaved, because I come home earlier than before, and most of the time I’m home in time for dinner. I dress a little more normally and don’t reach out for money like I used to.
I am not a big spendthrift, but girls, to use money in too many places, the money earned is not enough to spend. Fortunately, there are those men who give me money in different ways, some people’s money I want, some people’s money I don’t want, because it’s not safe.
Nightclubs are still a regular thing, I love them and my friends are there.
During the day, I am plain, ponytailed, wearing a cleaning uniform, love of work, friendship and colleagues, speak in a thin voice, the traffic is full of well-dressed white-collar gold-collar. At night, I put on heavy makeup, big waves cape, wearing hot pants in the nightclub party, and different men drinking and dancing, laughing freely.
I have no difficulty at all in navigating through these two very different lives every day, and I am very much at ease with them. Sometimes I admire myself, life is like a play, it all depends on the acting skills, I’m not old, acting skills are not bad, acting like anything!
