Chapter 18 Work

"Let me do it." Qiao Yadan saw Fang Xiao holding the chair with his wrist and moved it to the bottom, and stopped him, "Don't make trouble, go and think about how to write the song."

"Only when your hands and feet are moved, your brain is moved." Fang Xiao talked about a nonsense, then pointed at the bar with his thumb, and asked in a low voice: "Who is that Uncle Chen?"

"Bar owner." Qiao Yadan asked him with a tight voice, without saying anything, "Does your fingers still hurt?"

"Now I just stabbed the needle, and I didn't feel it."

"When will it be better?"

When Fang Xiao was learning the piano in his previous life, his father used the same trick. However, it was not pressing on the table, but directly pressing on the guitar fingerboard. He had no pain and no fear of difficulties. When he returned to normal, calluses also grew, and there was no problem playing again.

Qiao Yadan's previous behavior showed that her concern was genuine. Fang Xiao felt warm and said, "It will be fine in a few days. The man's hands are thick and not that delicate."

Qiao Yadan curled his lips, made a disdainful expression, and then gave him a smile.

One of them moved and the other wiped, and soon cleaned up the remaining dozen tables. Then Fang Xiao walked back to the bar and said to Uncle Chen: "I've written it."

From setting up the question to packing the table, it will take only ten minutes at most. Uncle Chen obviously didn't expect that he would finish the song so quickly. He looked up at him, his eyes shining brightly, and said, "If you write in a mess, don't take it out and embarrass you."

"Fang Xiao, think about it more." Qiao Yadan threw the rag into the bucket, picked up the mop, and said, "It's only been above four o'clock now, it's still early before six o'clock."

Fang Xiao just smiled. For the time traveler who had finished products in his mind, there was not much difference between two hours and two minutes.

He picked up the guitar and tried to pluck it. His fingers were hot and numb, and his skin was very sharp, but his muscles didn't feel anything at all and didn't hurt.

Seeing this, Qiao Yadan stood on the edge of the light, holding his breath and looking at him with concentration. Uncle Chen also stopped wiping the cup.

"I'm starting."

He started playing, and after playing the prelude for more than ten seconds, he did not sing, but whistled with the melody. Unlike the cheerfulness and leaping of "Nanping Evening Bell", this time the guitar and whistle were soothing, pure and melodious, like a stream flowing under the moon, as if the evening breeze blowing through the bamboo forest, graceful and fresh, but also with indescribable sadness.

Of course, he played Cao Huijuan's "Glass Cup", but not the accompaniment, but the songs from the pure music record "Heart Strings" released in 2006 were matched with guitar and whistle, which complemented each other and was very beautiful. It is a classic in the hearts of pure music fans and whistle fans.

Uncle Chen took the glass as a question, and it was considered to be hit by the gun. When Fang Xiao worked part-time in a bar in his previous life, he often used this song to help the singers when they were resting or changing people. He was very familiar, but because his fingers didn't feel it, he could not accurately feedback the pressure. Uncle Chen had high requirements. All this time, he sat upright, staring at the guitar, without doing any extra physical movements.

Performed perfectly...

The music was soon finished with four minutes. Two listeners, one quietly standing in the aperture and the other quietly standing outside the aperture, made no sound. After a while, Qiao Yadan threw away the mop, stepped forward two steps, walked into the range of the aperture, stood in front of Fang Xiao, biting his lips, his eyes burning, as if he was about to melt and eat him.

"Uncle Chen, is this OK?"

Uncle Chen lowered his head and wiped the glass again, and asked while rubbing it, "Is this what you just wrote?"

His speech was as calm as ever, but he could not hide his suspicion and surprise.

It feels so good to pretend to be X...

But...but there seems to be nothing to show off...

Fang Xiao nodded and put down the guitar. Uncle Chen had a strong aura. He didn't dare to make fun of it, but just asked plainly: "Uncle Chen, did I pass this time?"

Uncle Chen put the glass in his hand into the tray, then put his hands on his chest, staring at him like Qiao Yadan, and after a while, he said, "You practice your fingers first, and then come to work."

The beauty is watching you and the big man stare at you, but there are two concepts. Although Fang Xiao is fearless, he is still worried about being seen by him. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then made the move of "I'm very picky" with his lips and fists - this is one of Jordan's signature moves after he scored the final goal.

Qiao Yadan was also very excited. She cheered and took a big step forward, preparing to celebrating Fang Xiao with his high fives, but after raising his hand, he stopped again, looked at Uncle Chen with his head, then gave him a smile, and turned around to mop the floor.

What a warm and cheerful girl...

Her relationship with Uncle Shen is so strange, like a harsh boss and careful employee, as well as a stern father and a well-behaved daughter...

Fang Xiao turned around and looked at Qiao Yadan's quick movements and busy figure, and felt strange indescribable in his heart.

"Uncle Chen, how long has she been working here?"

"It's been two years." Uncle Chen said angrily: "You are her boyfriend, don't you know?"

Two years ago, I was working as a coder in that city called Shenzhen...

Fang Xiao touched his chin and defended: "She hasn't told me."

"She comes here to work at 4pm every day and returns to school after 1pm. She doesn't tell you, you won't ask?" Uncle Chen scolded hard: "How do you become a boyfriend?"

Can I say I was a temporary boyfriend who just started working an hour ago...

Fang Xiao didn't dare to ask again. He hung the guitar back on the instrument rack and wanted to help, but he didn't know what he could do. He walked around in awkwardly and returned to the bar.

Uncle Chen finished wiping the last glass, took out a bottle of whiskey, and asked, "Do you drink it?"

“I don’t know much about drinking.”

Uncle Chen glanced at him, took out a bottle of pure water from under the bar, grabbed the waist of the bottle, and placed it in front of Fang Xiao in an almost smashing position.

Fang Xiao picked it up and the lid was only half unscrewed. Uncle Chen said expressionlessly: "Is this for you to drink?"

Fang Xiao was stunned, and then he realized that Uncle Chen's gaze was looking behind him. He immediately reacted, cursed an idiot in secret, then jumped off the stool, walked to Qiao Yadan, handed the bottle over, and said, "Drink some water."

Qiao Yadan stood up, looked at the pure water on his hand, and smiled. She stroked the drooping hair and sweat on her forehead with her wrist, then leaned forward, opened her mouth slightly, pointed at her index finger, and signaled him to feed her.

Is this addicted to showing love?

Fang Xiao was amused and crying. He stepped forward, held the bottle in both hands, carefully tilted the bottle mouth, and fed her a few sips of water.

"You wait for me there for a while, and I'll finish it soon."

"I'll help you with it?"

"Forget it, you stupid goose, you can't do anything, you will be more and more helpful." Qiao Yadan pushed him away and said, "Don't block me."

Fang Xiao had no choice but to go back to the bar.

Uncle Chen poured two glasses of wine filled with ice, pushed one to him, and said, "It's useless for men to be talented, you have to feel sorry for women. Without women, no matter how talented a man is, it's a big deal."

Is this considered a kind-hearted man's tenderness?

Fang Xiaoran was playing with the glass, not knowing what to say.

Qiao Yadan quickly dragged the floor. After she took the dirty bucket out, Uncle Chen drank all the wine in the glass and said, "How much work should be done and how much money should be paid. This is the rule of doing business and the rule of being a human being. Dandan is very energetic and does not want me to take care of her. These work are all required by her own requirements."

Fang Xiao nodded, he picked up the cup, took a sip of wine, and it was cold and hot and spicy.

"Dandan said you are a dashed goose. I don't think you look like you. You are a dumb dashed goose!" Uncle Chen saw that Fang Xiao was always silent and regretted that he was not strong enough. He raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "It's 4:30 now. I'll make an exception today. I'll give Dandan two hours off, and you can accompany her to go out for fun."

Fang Xiao grabbed his hair and said dryly: "Thank you, Uncle Chen."

"Thank you! Don't tell me the word "Thank you" in the future." Uncle Chen turned around and shouted at the back of the bar: "Dandan! Come here."

"What's the matter, Uncle Chen?"

"Put down your work, I'll let Ada do it later. You can accompany this kid out for a walk and get familiar with the surrounding environment so as not to find the way to work in the future."

Qiao Yadan was slightly stunned, his eyes rolled between the two of them, and then responded with a smile, and Fang Xiao said, "Wait for me for a while, I'll go change my clothes."

She crawled into the wooden door behind the bar and walked out after just one or two minutes. Fang Xiao couldn't help but secretly praise him, such a versatile beauty!

Qiao Yadan just changed the rustic long-sleeved plaid shirt to a white lace-silk hollow shirt, and tied her long hair with a red plastic headband. She carried a small orange shoulder bag without makeup or changing the shape. She changed her simple changes and immediately transformed from an ordinary little girl into a pretty beauty.

She walked over and held Fang Xiao's arm again. This time Fang Xiao did not refuse. Before going out, Uncle Chen reminded coldly: "Come back before 6:30, otherwise your salary will be deducted."

"I know."

After walking out of the bar, Qiao Yadan immediately let go of Fang Xiao's arm.

"Why, don't you hug me?"

"You don't like me to hug you." Qiao Yadan curled his lips and said, "I'm covered in sweat, which will affect my image."

I don't care...

But Fang Xiao didn't say this, just said, "I'll treat you to a meal."

"I want to use me as a mortgage again?" Qiao Yadan smiled and said, "You poor guy, why are you a rich man? I'll treat you. I'll be the old employee and welcome new employees."

"I got a surprise bonus today." Fang Xiao also laughed and said, "Let you eat it, it's considered to make up for yesterday's work. Today's busyness, I'll invite you next time."

Qiao Yadan was a little surprised, and he pulled out a long tone and asked, "Where did it come from?"

After asking, she waved her hand again and said, "If I didn't ask, you didn't think I was your girlfriend. Let's go, just have money to eat."

Fang Xiao followed her, and after walking for a while, he said, "It was given by the principal of the acquaintance in Sacred Heart."

Qiao Yadan was surprised, stopped at the entrance of the alley and asked, "Principal Zheng?"

"Yeah."

"What did he give you money?" Qiao Yadan looked at him and asked in a series of questions: "You have applied for the job? Where is me? Is there any news?"

"You care a lot about this job?"

"Of course I care. For it, I have pushed out several very good units." Qiao Yadan gave out a silent breath, looked back at the alley behind him, and said, "Do I work here all my life? Tell me quickly, you are really procrastinating!"

Fang Xiao also looked back and explained what Zheng Yonglin asked him for, and even did not hide Qin Fengyi's identity.

"So, you're climbing to an amazing big shot?" Qiao Yadan looked him up and down with a smile, and said, "It's worthy of being the man I like."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Qiao Yadan reached out to him again, held him, and said, "It's still early, and you have money again, so let's go shopping first and buy a new set of clothes. You can't always wear this outfit and sway around."
