Lin Xue was a strong girl.
Her parents died early and the brother she depended on, died too.
But she didn’t collapse.
She lived alone, studied hard, and turned all her grief and heartache into motivation to work harder.
She lived up to expectations and was admitted to one of the nation's top prestigious universities.
Lin Xue also had very low self-esteem.
Without the company of a family, there was no warmth.
She was scared.
Fear of every quiet night, of meeting new people and things.
She was like an abandoned baby cub, shivering in a corner, not daring to take a step.
So she had to change.
Facing the request of such a thoughtful girl, Liu Yanbo couldn’t find any reason to refuse.
It took about forty minutes from the airport to the Tianshui bar. During that time, Liu Yanbo's mouth did not stop talking.
Saying and repeating, again and again, and again and again and again.
He taught Lin Show his phone number several times until it was engraved into her mind such that she wouldn’t forget it even after falling asleep.
Tianshui Bar was located in Xincheng District Bar Street, the first from east to west.
It was very well-known and had a high consumption rate. Liu Yanbo was very familiar with this place. He often came here to pick up clients but had never been inside.
Upon seeing the sunlight shining on the big golden letters, Liu Yanbo’s heart felt heavy. He was afraid he’d spend all his money here.
"Girl, are you sure you want to work here?" In order to save his wallet, Liu Yanbo tried persuading her. "This place is messy! Someone is making trouble almost every day.”
Liu Yanbo dug up dirt without hesitation. If the owner of Tianshui Bar heard, he would certainly spank him.
Liu Yanbo had never been inside but that didn’t mean he didn’t know the place. Apart from high-quality service, high consumption, and excellent reputation, Tianshui Bar's most important trait was its effective security measures.
In bars, drinking and causing trouble were very common things. If you drank too much, you could provoke others however you wanted, but not in Tianshui Bar.
It was also common to look for a partner in bars. As long as you did it properly, it was fine. But if you wanted to try anything funny, don’t come to Tianshui Bar, otherwise, you’ll be killed.
To ensure the safety of the customers and of course, the safety of their own employees, it was said that the owner of Tianshui Bar was a daunting guy with a ruthless background.
This daunting guy once released would bring terror to anyone that threatened the costumers’ wellbeing.
One person didn’t believe in the rumors and disturbed the people of Tianshui Bar. Later, this person was found in the river.
Regarding the rumors of Tianshui Bar, Liu Yanbo had heard a lot of them. He also heard one claiming that the owner was a beauty.
But when picking between his wallet and Tianshui Bar’s reputation, he decided to sacrifice the latter.
"I also heard that the owner not only is ill-tempered but also stingy and often owes wages." Liu Yanbo's expression was extremely serious and the baseless nonsense he said stunned Lin Xue.
It took a while for Lin Xue to recover. She looked at the recruitment notice at the door and said with uncertainty: "But my school friend told me this place was good?"
Tianshui bar was very strict in recruiting waiters.
All of them were handsome and their women, beautiful. This was the most basic condition, after all, it was a high-class place. Everything had to be pleasing to the eyes: the food, the interior, and even the employees.
It was a place Liu Yanbo would never have the confidence to apply.
Having good eloquence and the ability to drink alcohol was the second condition.
…
Lin Xue's appearance was naturally good. Her height was more than 170cm, her face was cute and lovely, and she had long beautiful legs. She had the basic condition.
But the second one was her nemesis. Naturally introverted and with low alcohol tolerance, there was no need to read the next conditions.
With regular recruitment, it would have been impossible for Lin Xue to become an employee.
Lin Xue was an informal recruitment.
Informal recruitment was when someone was hired through the recommendation of a worker.
She had a friend there, it was her two-year-older classmate, who was also a bartender.
"Do you believe in me or your friend?" Liu Yanbo lit a cigarette, he was visually unhappy.
"You." Lin Xue then added: "But brother Liu, I still want to try."
‘Cough ~’
Liu Yanbo was almost choked by the puff of smoke from his cigarette. He rubbed his throat and said, dissatisfied: "Why are you so stubborn girl! Why here? Isn’t it better to work in Sister Hanruo’s company?"
Lin Xue patted Liu Yanbo's back very nicely and said, "If I work at the company, Sister Hanruo will certainly take care of me and won’t give me any hard work. Then, won’t I become Sister Hanruo's burden? "
"I’ll ask Hanruo to leave you all the dirtiest and most tiring work, how about that?" Liu Yanbo pretended to be fierce and gritted his teeth.
‘Puff ~’
Lin Xue shook Liu Yanbo's arm, smiled, and said, "Brother Liu! Let me try for a few days, I’ve already promised my sister."
"Fine, fine, fine!" Liu Yanbo was dizzy from the shaking and quickly raised his hand to surrender.
"I knew Brother Liu was the best."
Lin Xue was happy, but Liu Yanbo had a bitter face as if someone owed him money but hadn't paid yet.
The summer was hot. Two women passed by the Tianshui bar.
They were wearing backless low-cut dresses that exposed a lot of skin. Heavy makeup was applied to their faces, and the smell of cheap perfume could be noticed from a distance. They glanced at Liu Yanbo seductively, then walked away.
Liu Yanbo rubbed below his nose and watched them go away.
“Brother Liu, are you afraid that I’ll become like them in the future? "Lin Xue was also watching the figures that were smaller and smaller as they went away.
Liu Yanbo looked at her with a smile but didn't speak. He did worry about that. Han Feiyan was as simple as Lin Xue. This big metropolis was like a tank of black water, no matter how pure you were, you would still be dyed some way or another.
Some people had a brilliant and wonderful life, while others were filled with greed and impossible dreams.
Liu Yanbo didn’t want to change this society. He had only wanted to protect his only beauty.
"Brother Liu, look." Lin Xue took off her locket necklace and opened it, showing a picture of a young man, "this is my brother."
The man in the photo was somewhat similar to Lin Xue. He was wearing a military uniform. He had handsome looks, a warm smile, and he beamed with righteousness and confidence. This magnificent man was the country’s proudest soldier---Lin Feng.
"Your brother, very good." Liu Yanbo awed in admiration, his eyes expressing respect and also sympathy.
Lin Xue nodded, stroking the photo gently with her hand, smiling warmly and proudly said: "Brother Bai said my brother was a dragon, a dragon among people."
He had the strong and fierce soul of a dragon and was the pride of the country.
"He is indeed a dragon among people." Liu Yanbo nodded heavily.
Lin Xue raised his head with a solemn look and firmly said: "Brother Liu, I am the dragon's sister."
Lin Feng was the best in the country. Lin Xue was determined to be worthy of calling herself his sister.
