Chapter 11
Qiao Mu was not deprived of anything in life, but aside from this, she did not get much pocket money. She only had a little bit of savings, and that money was what she earned working part-time jobs during school holidays.
Qiao Mu thought about things for a moment and made a call, “Senior Han Su, I would like to ask you for a favor.”
The person at the other line sounded glad. “Mu Mu, it’s rare for you to take the initiative to contact me. What’s the matter?”
“I heard that ‘Shades of Darkness’ belongs to your family. I want to get a part-time job there. Can you help me out?”
‘Shades of Darkness’ was a high-class nightclub.
Han Su chuckled. “A part-time job? Are you kidding? What are you going to work as? A bargirl? A dancer? Or…”
Qiao Mu took a deep breath. “As long as there’s no hanky-panky, I’m willing to do whatever brings the most money!”
…..
Qiao Mu stood outside ‘Shades of Darkness’. She had put on thick makeup, with smoky eyes and red lipstick. She was wearing so much blusher that her cheeks looked unnaturally red. Her originally pure and beautiful face appeared dull and lifeless because of all that makeup, and she even looked a little indecent.
This was how she made sure that no one would try anything funny on her.
She had explained her situation to Han Su, and Han Su got her a job as a liquor promoter.
Chi Xia was standing behind Qiao Mu, and there was a worried expression on her face. “Mu Mu, have you really thought this through? ‘Shades of Darkness’ isn’t the kind of place that you should be going to. It’s going to be messy inside there. What if something bad happens to you? You’re nothing but a defenseless girl.”
“Xia Xia, it’ll be okay. All the customers inside there are big bosses, and they won’t be interested in someone who looks the way I do right now. For every bottle of liquor I sell, I’ll earn more than what I used to get working for a month as a waitress. There’s no helping it. I really need money right now.”
“I really think that we should leave. I’ll think of a way to get you the money.”
“We’re talking about 300,000 RMB here. You have lent all your money to me the other time. Do you even have any money left?”
Chi Xia sighed. She knew about Qiao Mu’s birth mother, and she knew what a detestable woman she was. She saw her birth daughter as nothing other than a source of income, and she never considered the fact that Qiao Mu might not be living a good life in the Qiao family.
But Qiao Mu was too kind, and she could not bring herself to turn Zhou Jieru down. She gave all the money she got from working part-time to her mother, and even so, Zhou Jieru was not satisfied.
Qiao Mu shot Chi Xia a reassuring look. “Don’t worry. Nothing bad will happen to me. Alright, I’ll go in first.”
If Qiao Mu had a choice, she would not want to work in a nightclub either. She told herself that this was absolutely the last time she would be paying her mother’s debts.
Han Su had contacted the manager beforehand, so Qiao Mu went straight to the manager. The manager arranged things for her and reminded her not to offend any of the customers. This was because all the customers there were rich and powerful people, and it would be hard for her to pacify them if she were to offend them.
Qiao Mu nodded a few times. Before she left, the manager said, “It’s inevitable that customers would try something funny on girls working as liquor promoters, so don’t make a big deal out of it. But with the way you’re looking now, I don’t think any of them would be interested in you.”
Qiao Mu was rendered speechless.
But well, this was what she was trying to achieve, anyway.
Qiao Mu held a bottle of red wine as she knocked on the door of one of the private lounges. There were around five people in the private lounge. Qiao Mu looked around, and her gaze fell upon one of the customers.
That person stood out among the rest of the customers, and there was a cold expression on his face. He did not seem affected at all by the fact that the people around him were trying to suck up to him.
Was this breathtakingly handsome man not Li Yan?
At that moment, Qiao Mu finally understood why people always said that “enemies often cross each other’s path”.
