Chapter 690 Chen Shufang's Story (Part 2)
Chen Shufang's work is no different than that of a normal office worker, and weekends are actually her busiest time. She discussed with the foreman and set one day off per week on Tuesday.
During her rare break, she wanted to go out and visit a bookstore.
Chen Shufang used to love studying and reading. The word "book" in her name was added to her name by her teacher when she was in elementary school. Isn't it? With this addition of the word, it makes her look like a lady, gentle and quiet. Chen Shufang likes this name.
It's just that with her background, it's a bit difficult to be a woman from a good family, let alone a lady.
After graduating from elementary school, the teacher who came to the village to teach left. Chen Shufang's mother did not let her continue her studies, but sent her younger brother to junior high school. Her younger brother didn't like going to class. Chen Shufang wrote half of his homework for him, so she also used it to read. I have read many books, and my favorite is Chinese textbooks.
Later, when my younger brother grew up, he was sent to a juvenile detention center for causing trouble in high school. His mother was anxious to see him. Chen Shufang, who was alone at home collecting farm goods, was moved by the words of an uncle from next door who had just returned home, and secretly got into the car. I ran with him because I wanted to see what the big city the teacher said was like.
After arriving, she heard her uncle say, "How do you make money when you don't even have a junior high school diploma?" Chen Shufang thought the same thing, so she was voluntarily introduced to Golden Years by her uncle.
For a teenage girl, a place that provides food and accommodation is a good workplace.
She first started working as a handyman. Later, the manager saw that the little girl was good at talking and good-looking, so he transferred her to be a singing princess.
Chen Shufang made a lot of money all of a sudden.
Later, as she grew older, she realized that her uncle was a pimp and he didn't touch her because "clean goods" sold for a higher price. No wonder she hadn't seen him since then.
However, Golden Years is quite polite. After all, it is a well-known KTV entertainment venue. Everything is about your own will. Chen Shufang is sensible and good at chatting. She can sell a lot of drinks just by sitting on the table, so no one forces her .
There are actually quite a few singing princesses like her, most of them are college students. They think that they are "pure butlers" anyway, sitting on the stage, drinking and chatting with them, making a lot of money quickly, and then running away after a few months. Now, use the money to buy some luxuries you like. Even if you get eaten a little, you won’t suffer any substantial loss after all, and you won’t lose anything.
Looking back to the present, Chen Shufang went out wearing a vest, cardigan and jeans. She had stayed in the golden years for a long time, and she was surrounded by many colleagues like Jiaojie Xiaozhen who had a lot of extra money. In fact, she didn't feel that it was inappropriate to expose her breasts and legs. How shameful, I never bought any strictly conservative clothes, and openly showed off my sexy image.
On the subway, Chen Shufang saw a young girl wearing commuter clothes sitting opposite her. She frowned and looked uncomfortable, but there were two huge suitcases in front of her, and she had to grab them with both hands, so she had no time to care. It's very hard for me.
Chen Shufang, who was leaning in the corner, walked over.
"Want to help?" she asked gently.
The female white-collar worker looked up at her and smiled: "Okay, thank you sister."
Chen Shufang helped her press the suitcase so that she could free her hands. She took out the ibuprofen from her bag and swallowed it hard with her saliva.
"Are you moving?" Chen Shufang chatted with her to distract her attention.
"Um."
The female white-collar worker took the suitcases again (Chen Shufang only let go of one of them) and nodded a little aggrievedly, "I'm resigning. I'm going to stay with a friend for a few days."
"Oh, it's not easy either." Chen Shufang said a few words of comfort.
Not long after, the subway arrived, and the friendship between strangers stopped there. Chen Shufang said hello to the female white-collar worker and turned to leave.
She spent a very happy time in the bookstore, then went to the coffee shop and ordered a caramel macchiato and a red velvet cake.
During this period, a man in a suit and leather shoes came over to chat with him slightly awkwardly. Chen Shufang was stunned and declined with a smile.
She knew that she just looked like a "normal person living an ordinary life."
The day's vacation ended quickly, and then it was normal work again.
I sleep until one or two o'clock in the afternoon, open my eyes, eat some lunch, put on makeup, come out of the eight-person dormitory that can barely sleep, sit on the sofa in the lobby and wait for customers to order, and work like this until three or four in the morning, and then Go back and line up to take a shower, remove makeup and go to bed.
On this day, Chen Shufang heard Li Zhang's name from the foreman. The foreman would remember every regular customer who accompanied the singing princess. Li Zhang was very generous, so he specially informed Chen Shufang every time so that she would not miss this opportunity. One.
Chen Shufang knows a lot about Li Zhang and understands him.
This is an office worker who works hard and cares about his family. He is the general manager of the company, with a very high position and a higher annual salary. He has a car and a house, a gentle and virtuous wife at home, and a lovely daughter.
He was very well-behaved and polite. He never touched her when he came to the KTV to chat with her. He only treated her as a close friend and an equal.
There is no doubt that Li Zhang is a good man.
"Hey? Do you like it? I think this is pretty good."
Sometimes Xiaozhen would chat with Chen Shufang in the dormitory while taking off her makeup.
Among the singing princesses who work in KTV, there are not only Xiaozhen and Xiaofeng who make extra money, but there are also many female college students who deliberately maintain their "innocence" in order to find a good family.
Most of the bosses who come here have families, but since they can come here, it means that there are some problems with their families, so many people choose to raise their lovers outside. Some princesses come here just for this, Zhisan As long as you don't care about things like being a third person, you can still live a nourishing life.
"Nowhere, just drinking and chatting with the guests normally." Chen Shufang answered like this every time.
How could a good man like Li Zhang be in the same world as her?
Chen Shufang was lying on the upper bunk, and the ceiling in her sight gradually turned into the profile of Li Zhang holding a cigarette in his mouth.
That face was very tough, showing signs of many years, but it also looked more mature, stable and charming.
Chen Shufang thought of what this man had told her, one by one, describing his efforts, his persistence, his refusal to give up, his successes and his failures.
And how much he cared about his family.
When Li Zhang talked about his wife, the outline of his face seemed to soften.
How he loved her.
Because I love her, I don't want her to worry, so I come to Chen Shufang to pour out my bitterness.
Chen Shufang is very clear about these.
She knew what this kind of psychology was - the more Li Zhang loved his wife, the more Chen Shufang was attracted to this kind of single-minded devotion. Once something happened between Li Zhang and her, Chen Shufang would feel that the image in her heart was shattered a little bit. Things had changed, but at the same time, she still wanted to be close to him, so she was so conflicted that she couldn't sleep.
Falling in love with someone you shouldn't love.
Many colleagues are like this, and often end up miserable. Chen Shufang saw clearly and did not want to make the same mistake again.
No matter how much money she makes, she is just a bartender... It is already a good thing for people who are in the mud to see the light. How can they expect to walk into the light themselves?
A few days later, Xiaofeng suddenly packed her things in the dormitory and said excitedly that she had found a regular customer.
Chen Shufang helped her take her luggage to the back door, where a handsome car was parked. Xiaofeng ran over with a smile and kissed the man waiting there.
"..."
Chen Shufang looked at them, not knowing what to say or what to do for a moment.
She suffered from insomnia again, and couldn't help but hug herself with her arms in the middle of the night and huddle up in the bed.
Xiaofeng, who has a man, will still come to work in Golden Years, but like Chen Shufang, she has become a simple singing princess, and her work is casual and relaxed. When she is happy, she just sits on the stage, drinks and boxing with everyone, but when she is not happy, I took a taxi back, after all, I had a "home".
"Isn't it nice?" Xiaofeng was finishing applying lipstick when he spoke and smacked his lips, "He doesn't mind too much. Anyway, I will definitely wait at home when I want to do something, so that's fine."
Chen Shufang felt ashamed.
So on this day, she walked Li Zhang to the door and quietly stuffed a small piece of paper with her name and phone number into his suit jacket pocket.
"...Then I hope you come at a longer interval next time."
Chen Shufang smiled.
As she bid farewell to Li Zhang, she didn't notice a girl in school uniform across the street.
She had met her once before, and they had met her eyes in the bathroom.
Changes occurred suddenly.
A few days later, a girl rushed into the golden years without warning. She was cute and had a small round face, but she was fierce. Her face was filled with anger or collapse, so that her facial features were twisted together.
"Chen Shufang!"
She screamed, but Chen Shufang, who was sitting on the sofa at the time, didn't respond, but there were always subconscious glances from people around her that betrayed her.
"Aren't you cheap?"
The girl rushed up, grabbed her collar, and slapped her wildly.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
She beat him so hard that Chen Shufang was at a loss before being frightened. She never had any extra ambiguity with her guests, and nothing like this had ever happened before.
The girl was quickly pulled away by KTV security guards. Chen Shufang covered half of her red and swollen face with a look of shock.
"Smelly bitch! Is it so fun to destroy other people's families?" The girl cried and shouted at her, "Why did you seduce my dad! You bitch!"
She frantically broke away from the security guard, but she no longer had the strength to rush over to vent her anger.
"My mother jumped off the building...I don't have a mother anymore...
"Asshole...bitch...
"Go to hell, you..."
The girl knelt on the ground and covered her face, crying.
Many of the KTV singers and princesses are very knowledgeable. This is the first time that family members have come to the house and caused such a big mess.
The hall was quiet except for the girl's scolding and crying, and the passing guests couldn't help but watch, with their eyes wide open.
Chen Shufang stood under everyone's gaze, her hands and feet were cold and her mind was blank.
She wanted to say I didn't, nothing happened to me, but when the stunned Li Zhang rushed over, she couldn't say anything.
"Taotao..."
Li Zhang seemed to have aged ten years as he exhaustedly went to help his crying daughter.
"Get out of here!"
Li Tao collapsed and yelled, "You go live with her! I'll die too! You go on sweetly!"
"Taotao, Taotao...please..."
Li Zhang knelt beside Li Tao and kept comforting and begging. After a long time, he finally pulled his daughter up from the ground, who was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Before leaving, he looked back at Chen Shufang.
That look was very complicated. I didn't know whether it was disbelief, disappointment, anger, fear, or pleading.
Chen Shufang's lips trembled, and she stood there stupidly, with no feeling in her legs.
I... I didn't...
Nothing happened between us...
You know...
I... I'm sorry...
It was the coolness of the wind that made Chen Shufang realize that her tears had already wet her entire face.
More tears flowed, they crossed her red and swollen cheeks, and a tingling pain rose wherever they touched.
Like a red-hot iron, it burned Chen Shufang's unspeakable and humiliating scar.
