chapter 2

"Name?"

"Huaishi."

"What about age?"

"Seventeen."

"Seventeen?"

The interview man raised his eyebrows and looked at the boy in front of the table. The thin boy who was carrying a heavy piano case hurriedly showed a flattering smile.

He was wearing an old dress, his face was a little pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, his hair was a little messy, but his dark pupils seemed to be lit by candles, which was a little frighteningly bright.

"Gothic style? It's really rare, and many people like it now..."

The man who presided over the interview muttered something inexplicably, looked at the boy, and his tone became serious: "I said Xiaohuai, you must know that our club is on the elitist route, not all cats and dogs can come."

"Elite, elite! I understand!"

Huai Shi straightened her small body, nodded vigorously, and said in a doggy manner: "Lao Yang told me before coming here, you have strict requirements here, don't worry, I have rich experience!"

After all, he squeezed out a flattering smile.

Although the requirements are strict, the money is also given a lot!

The economy is so depressed these days. Recently, people with large sums of money in Xinhai have lost their jobs. God knows how difficult it is for a poor student to find a part-time job playing the piano. He was so happy that he got a lucrative job.

If you really want to let this job slip through your fingers, you will be struck by lightning!

Before coming here, I heard from Lao Yang that this is a membership-only club for the rich. Just the waiters who serve the dishes can get thousands of dollars in tips. If you can play the piano here, are you afraid you won’t make money?

As if surprised by his inexplicable sincerity, the interviewer was also taken aback for a moment, and nodded slightly: "Okay, the interview form says you can play the cello, let's perform one, don't be too watery."

"You can rest assured!"

Huai Shi sat down with confidence and opened the piano case, hugged the cello, held up the bow, and thought for a while, the unique low-pitched melody of the cello flowed out from the strings.

In terms of other things, he might be afraid, but when it comes to cello, he has never been cowardly. He has been soft with awards since he was a child. If it wasn't for not being able to hire famous teachers, he might have gone to international competitions to show his face by now.

This is a sea C that I have practiced countless times, even if it is put to the professional judges, I can't find any faults. Once he started playing the violin, his mood suddenly calmed down, and his performance was even better than usual. The deep melancholy between the clever notes was almost ready to come out.

But after just a few minutes, the interviewer waved his hand tiredly: "Okay, let's go here."

"ah?"

Huai Shi raised her head in astonishment, not knowing where she made a mistake, she hurriedly flipped through her backpack: "I still have a professional certificate, the Emperor's Level 8, if it is not enough, I will take the junior professional exam next month..."

"Okay, don't fix those fancy things."

The interviewer shook his head impatiently, "We don't value academic qualifications here, Qin pulls it to make do with a gimmick, it mainly depends on your ability..."

As he spoke, he bent down and took out a few things from the drawer, put them on the table, lined them up, and pointed, "Which one do you know?"

"What?"

Huai Shi was dumbfounded, looking at the gadgets on the table, confused:

"What... is this musical instrument?"

"Hey, let me tell you, do you really understand? Didn't you say that you have rich experience in the industry?"

The interviewer pointed to the table unhappily and introduced: "Rich Woman Happy Ball, Rich Woman Happy Fire...Which one would you like?"

"..."

Huai Shi pondered for a long time, looked at the cello in her arms, and asked with the last ray of hope: "Happy rich woman... Qin?"

Boss, do you have a golden finger?

"Co-authoring means you can't do anything?"

The interviewer was furious, pointed at his nose and reprimanded: "Do you know how busy I am at work? I came here to be a cowboy without knowing anything? I pushed several appointments to come to the interview. Isn't this a waste of my time? ?”

"...Aren't you a restaurant recruiter here?"

Until now, the dazed Huai Shi realized that she seemed to have been tricked by a silly intermediary again... Eh? Why do you say again?

"Wait a moment!"

He raised his hand solemnly: "Sir, I am a showman but not a person!"

Boom!

The office door closed behind him.

Huai Shi, who was kicked out of the office, was sitting on a chair in the corridor, feeling terrified, feeling that she was just one step away from being innocent for half her life, but after taking a look at her savings balance, she couldn't help but eagerly want to put that money away. Step out...

Art has been sold for so many years, is it still short of selling yourself?

Anyway, it's the same when the lights are turned off, but in the end... as long as the money is given, it doesn't seem unacceptable.

Just as he was pinching his chin and pondering, the pile of "rich women's happy series products" just popped up in his mind, and he trembled all over.

At this moment, Huai Shi deeply realized that happiness in this world is conserved.

Forget it, forget it...

With tears in his eyes, he rejected the temptation of money, and walked out of the club door step by step, looking at the door covered with a layer of golden stone lions, he couldn't help but want to turn back and go back again.

"etc!"

Suddenly someone called him from behind. It was a man in a uniform, with a handsome and cold face, and his eyes were full of harshness, "Hey, you! Stop!"

"I?"

Huai Shi was a little flustered, and couldn't help but lean back a little under his gaze.

"You are the newcomer today? Even the first brother in the clubhouse left without paying a visit, do you understand the rules?" The man walked in front of him, stood on the steps looking down at him, nodded: "face It's not bad, but it's better to be quiet, in terms of beauty, you can't compare to me."

As he said that, he coquettishly raised his hand to comb his long, blond hair, which made Huai Shi feel a little tired, and replied angrily: "Sorry, brother one, I don't want to be a cowherd!"

"Oh, it's called a male publicist now, it's all the same."

'Brother One' nodded knowingly, waved his hand generously and said, "It's okay, since you call me Brother One, I'll protect you from now on."

As he said, he took out a bottle from his handbag and stuffed it into Huai Shi's arms, and patted him on the shoulder earnestly: "Being a cowboy must be professional, go back and remove the oil on my face, your skin care is too good It's rough, it's a pity for this little face... save yourself, this is a high-end product in Europe."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Huai Shi to "thank you", he lifted his chin, turned and left.

"..."

Huai Shi stood dumbfounded at the door, looking down at the cosmetics in her hand, wondering if she should slam this thing on the door and shout "Thirty years on the river, thirty years on the bottom of the river, don't bully the young and poor."

After a long time, he looked at the delicate little bottle and stuffed it into his arms with some toothache.

Forget it, it’s all here, it looks quite expensive, it’s a pity to lose it... It’s not opened yet, so Lao Yang took it and sold it later.

Poverty humbles me.

Why is he so poor even though he has a golden finger?

He dug out the notebook in his backpack, read it halfway over and over again, sighed, and stuffed it back into his pocket.

Thinking of Lao Yang, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth with hatred, took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and cursed: "Lao Yang, are you sick? Well, you introduced me to an interview to be a cowboy! You want to make money Are you crazy about earning agency fees?"

"Hey, I didn't ask clearly. They require young people with rich experience in the industry, good looks, and talents... Brother thinks you are so poor, isn't it for your sake? Don't be angry, I will treat you to dinner the day after tomorrow How about it? To celebrate your sister-in-law's recent discharge from the hospital, remember to bring some leeks over..."

"Tell me, do you want to eat?"

Huai Shi hung up the phone angrily. This bastard definitely did it on purpose, pointing at the agency fee she gave him after accidentally getting on a pirate ship.

But thinking of the situation in Lao Yang's family, he couldn't hate him.

In order to raise medical expenses for his wife who has cancer, this grandson is desperate to earn money. Otherwise, he wouldn't even do part-time odd jobs like Huai Shi, just for the commission of dozens of yuan... Besides, apart from the fact that the intermediary fee is not discounted, this guy is quite kind, and there is no tricky name to get him any money.

We are also considered brothers and sisters.

Forget it……

Huai Shi sighed and heard thunder.

Above the gloomy sky, dark clouds floated in the distance. Under the gloomy sunlight, coral groups growing between the clouds and the shadows of fish schools could be vaguely seen...

The slightly blue ocean is gently turbulent, casting a rippling light on the earth.

It is going to rain.

It is said that this kind of coral clouds were rare seventy or eighty years ago. At that time, they were still in the sea, and they did not float into the sky and fly around the world.

Many scientists say that the discovery of rare elements is the cause of air pollution, but not many people believe it.

At the beginning, everyone panicked, thinking that the end of the world was coming, but after decades of waiting, the classic end-of-the-world species like zombies hadn't arrived.

After a long time, everyone gets used to it.

It's just that there is something floating in the sky, it's nothing more than a little more rain, won't the plane continue to fly if it changes its route?

Money has to be earned, debts have to be repaid, and life has to go on as usual.

After a few days of chaos, everything is back to normal.

It seems no different from the previous days.

Thunder bursts.

Huai Shi didn't bring an umbrella, didn't dare to waste time, turned around and ran home, but in the middle of running, he heard a loud noise from afar.

This time the thunder was so clear that even the ground trembled.

He looked up in the direction of the sound, and saw a puff of smoke and flames rising from the pier in the distance, as if something had exploded.

Pedestrians on the street looked at each other with dazed expressions. Some excitedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures, while others excitedly moved closer, wanting to have a look.

If it was normal, Huai Shi might have to go to see it, but now he feels that he is about to be overwhelmed by the double burden of life and the cowherd. Let's forget about the excitement...

He sighed, turned left and walked into the alley, speeding up.

boom!

At the end of the alley, a bottle was kicked against the wall, the glass stubble was scattered all over the floor, and then it was crushed by a leather boot.

Someone rushed out from the corner next to him, as if he was drunk, staggered, didn't even slow down, rubbed Huai Shi, biased, and his whole body was stuck to the wall.

Huai Shi was stunned.

What kind of hero is this?

Unexpectedly, the 'hero' staggered back under the impact, and when he saw Huai Shi, he rushed towards him.

Huai Shi couldn't dodge in time, but he grabbed her wrist, and immediately felt a heavy box stuffed into her arms.

"What the hell?"

He froze in place, instinctively wanting to withdraw his hand, but felt wet, sticky red flowing from the man's sleeve.

is blood.

Until now, the bloody smell was so strong that it couldn't be melted away.

Huai Shi suddenly felt a severe dizziness and headache, bent down, and involuntarily retched a lot of saliva.

When he raised his head, he finally saw the man's ferocious face and distorted facial features. He looked at Huai Shi in astonishment, as if about to say something, but opened his mouth and spat out a big mouthful of blood.

The scene was so weird, but Huai Shi accidentally saw that there was a small goldfish in the puddle of blood he vomited out on the ground...

It's not even big, it's the kind of ornamental goldfish that most people keep in fish tanks, it looks fat and fat, and it's very cute.

"Dude, you have a big mouth, can this be eaten? It's still raw!"

Huai Shi was dumbfounded: "I'm afraid the stomach is spoiled?"

But in the next moment, he saw the goldfish thumping in the pool of blood quickly shriveled up, and finally turned into a mass of ashes, which melted into the blood.

As the goldfish died, the man seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to the ground without breathing. Only thick blood seeped out from under the windbreaker.

In the silence, only Huai Shi was left in the alley.

And the box stuffed into his hands...

The box looked bigger than the ordinary Rubik's Cube, and it was heavy in the hand. When it was shaken, it seemed to be filled with liquid.

It has a cool texture unique to iron and copper, and the surface is engraved with gorgeous totems that Huai Shi has never seen before, but these totems are all covered by that person's sticky blood, so they can't be seen clearly, but there seems to be something incredible magic.

Huai Shi gulped.

I feel thirsty.

Just holding it in his hands, he couldn't help but want to open it, as if there was something in it that had an unparalleled allure for him, making him want to possess it, want to get it...

He took a deep breath.

How to choose in this case, is there any need to think about it?

Without thinking, Huai Shi took out her phone.

"Hello? 110?"

In short, it’s been a long time, everyone, here’s a collection recommendation. During the new book period, I will try to update it twice a day, so that I can be the hardworking little love that everyone loves most.
