Chapter 20 Our Joy Will Not Die
Chapter 20 Our Joy Will Not Die
Yue Renge came to Dionys today, half an hour early, and saw Li Mu's "how to do it".He crossed his arms and leaned against the door, not stepping forward, making no sound, or disturbing.
After a while, Li Mu wiped all the bottles in the row, and turned around contentedly. When he raised his head, he happened to meet Shang Yue Renge's gaze.
"Good afternoon." Yue Renge calmly straightened his body gracefully, patted the hem of his suit, "Did I bother you?"
Li Mu shook his head quickly, "You...why did you come so early today?"
"Come and see." Yue Renge walked in, Sunshine was left behind him, and he had no time to follow.
"How's the progress?"
"Let's do the preparations. I'm much more familiar with the situation at the bar than before, and I cooperate with everyone more tacitly." Li Mu lowered his head and laughed, "Brother Chuan scolded me a lot...and a lot less."
"Oh." Yue Renge raised his head thoughtfully, as if he was looking at the ceiling, and seemed to have no fixed landing point. After a few seconds, he turned to Li Mu, "Speaking of which, I haven't mixed drinks for a long time. I just practiced my hands today. Come on, you cooperate with me."
Li Mu was a little surprised, "You... bartending?"
"Why, isn't it?" Yue Renge took off his suit jacket, threw it lightly on the chair next to him, then rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair arms, "How can you open a bar if you don't know how to mix drinks? If you work together If you fool me, then am I at a loss?"
Li Mu frowned, knowing that he had asked a stupid question.Yue Renge has always been a low-key person. After transitioning to the behind-the-scenes many years ago, he seldom talked about those glamorous past.So Li Mu once thought that he was just a rich second generation who inherited the family business. He might understand management, but he didn't understand wine.
Yue Renge stood behind the bar and took out a martini glass.Li Mu knew his position in an instant. He was a bartender, and he needed to assist the bartender to complete his work.
Two ice cubes, put in a glass to cool.Li Mu felt his hands shaking when he put the ice cubes into the cup.He suspected that he heard Yue Renge chuckle.Looking up, Yue Renge took out the mixing spoon and started to spin the ice cubes.
The technique is skillful, the long spoon is intertwined with Yue Renge's fingers like a ribbon.There was a faint hoarfrost on the glass wall, perhaps because of the light, and the ice cubes shone silvery-white, like carefully polished diamonds.
Yue Renge stopped stirring. Li Mu had already prepared the shaker. The two-cup style shaker is commonly used in the store. Yue Renge glanced at it and frowned slightly.Li Mu understood, and took out the three-piece shaker, and put it beside Yue Ren Singer.
Gin, vodka, Lilai Bai, Yue Renge had an elegant posture, and the liquor poured from his fingers.Li Mu took the opportunity to add a lot of ice cubes until the shaker was full.Yue Renge didn't look at him, he buckled the shaker, exerted strength on his shoulders, swam like a dragon with his whole arm, and shook it a few times.
Here, Li Mu has placed the filter next to Yue Ren's singer.The ice cubes that have been left to stand for a while need to be rotated to cool the glass again, and the adjusted transparent wine is slowly poured into the glass.Li Mu has already prepared the pickled olives here, Yue Renge saw it and shook his head at him, "Lemon peel." He said.
But in just a few minutes, Li Mu felt as if he had run 5 kilometers, and his heart was pounding with nervousness.
Yue Renge looked at his favorite work with satisfaction, then handed the mixed wine to Li Mu, "Here you are."
"Me?" Li Mu was surprised.
"Well, to commemorate our first cooperation." Yue Renge smiled, "You should be quite able to drink."
Li Mu hesitated, "But, according to the shop's rules, you can't drink alcohol during work hours."
Yue Renge played tricks, "But it's not working time."
Li Mu smiled helplessly, "But... if Brother Chuan found out, he would definitely be scolded today."
Yue Renge choked up.This is true.That fellow Liang Chuan has a dog's nose, and he can be sure of it with every sniff.A bartender is not a bartender. Dionys unwritten rule is that one should not drink alcohol before and during work hours. Once drinking affects work, the wages will be deducted at least, and the house will be kicked out at worst.
Or Liang Chuan taught well.The person he couldn't win the song of Yue Ren was taught by Liang Chuan to be obedient, and he should really ask this guy for advice later. "Then I can only enjoy it by myself." Yue Renge raised his glass, and Li Mu had no choice but to pour himself a glass of lemonade, "Cheers."
Yue Renge drank half a glass and put the glass on the bar counter, showing no intention of leaving.Li Mu had no choice but to wash the cup he had touched, and reported his recent work experience to Yue Renge while working.
"Can you bear it? Working under Liang Chuan." Yue Renge rubbed his fingers lightly on the clean countertop, "This guy has a bad temper."
"...It has a little personality."
Last week, Li Mu was scolded by Liang Chuan for taking the wrong filter.Obviously it doesn't matter which one you use, even Amy sometimes can't tell why, but it can become Liang Chuan's point of hatred.
"Did you have no money recently, so you rented out your eyes when you took care of the family property?"
"I can't tell the difference between such a simple thing. Can chickens, ducks and geese be the same? Gooses, geese and geese can be sung by you as Mulan poems."
"Don't do it, don't do it, go out and turn left to collect the trash. You can sell yourself for a good price by sending yourself to your door."
All these things, sometimes Amy couldn't stand it, and Liang Chuan would reply when she told him to be more civilized, "Why am I uncivilized? Did I swear?"
...It seems that none of the memories are particularly pleasant.
Li Mu suddenly realized that there was a pitfall in Yue Renge's question, and hurried to remedy it, "But what Brother Chuan taught is good and meaningful..."
Yue Renge didn't speak for a long time. When he looked up, Li Mu saw Zhang Renjun's smiling face.
"You're really afraid of him." Yue Renge said with a smile, "Really?"
Not really.Li Mu didn't really have anyone to be afraid of, but people are always animals that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Liang Chuan has a bad temper and is not easy to provoke. Naturally, he wants to avoid his thunder points accurately and live a more comfortable life.
Li Mu didn't know what to say, maybe such an admission would make Yue Renge more acceptable, so he hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Actually, Liang Chuan is a nice person. Really, he can see where you have made progress." Yue Renge said, "Although...sometimes your words are a little bit unpleasant."
Li Mu smiled and didn't speak.
"Liang Chuan said that you are not in a good mood recently." Yue Renge cut to the chase, "Is it because he scolded you too hard?"
Yue Renge's words directly touched Li Mu's mind. The smile on his face froze slightly, and he subconsciously denied, "It's okay, Brother Chuan, isn't he thinking too much?"
It's not that the mood is bad, it's just that there are things in my heart.
It has been a week since Zhao Shengyan threw an olive branch, Li Mu has been delaying, Zhao Shengyan didn't rush him, but said that this opportunity is rare, and it is also a long-term stable job, if Li Mu really wants to come, he warmly welcomes him.
Hualang is definitely different from Dionysia. If he goes there, he will be a bartender. Li Mu originally wondered if he was not capable enough, but Zhao Shengyan sighed. Is it difficult?"
Yes, memorize the formula and get started a few more times.Why hasn't Liang Chuan asked him to do it until now?
"You have something on your mind." Yue Renge looked into Li Mu's eyes, "You have something on your mind."
He knew that Yue Renge had the ability to read people's hearts, but Li Mu knew that this topic should never be discussed with this person in front of him.He coughed lightly, "I'm just thinking, what are we pursuing in this business?"
"What are you pursuing?" Yue Renge was slightly taken aback, then narrowed his eyes, and smiled, "Are you thinking about such a profound question now?"
"You always have to think about it." Li Mu wiped the bar counter again, "It's better to think clearly now and have a direction so that you won't regret it in the future."
"It's for happiness." After a while, Yue Renge said, "For the happiness of myself and others."
"Do you know why we are called Dionysus?" Yue Renge said, "That's the name of the God of Dionysus. It brings intoxication to the world, and gives joy and love. It is born unethical and mean, not blessed but reborn and immortal. Joy will not die. Honey, even if we die one day, our joy will not die."
The vernal equinox has passed, and the world is divided into day and night.The night begins to be compressed, and the time for romance and pleasure is gradually shortened.Zhao Shengyan waited for a whole week for the call, but it still hasn't rang.He had already saved several suitable candidates, and he read those resumes again and again, and then fell back on his sofa leather chair.
He stood up and made himself a cup of coffee.The phone rang suddenly, and he almost knocked over his coffee.Wiping his hands in a hurry, Zhao Shengyan answered the phone at the moment when the ringtone was about to cut off.
As soon as he answered the phone, a smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, little brother, after thinking about it for a few days, I finally figured it out? Brother, I waited until the day lily was almost cold—"
"Brother Zhao," Li Mu's voice came from the phone, calm and without too much emotion, "Thank you for providing me with this opportunity. Since I returned to China, you have been helping me ,if there was not you……"
Zhao Shengyan curled his lips and smiled, "Hey, hey, we brothers don't like this. When do you want to come over? If you can report before the end of this month, I'll give you an extra half a month's salary—— "
"Brother Zhao." Li Mu said guiltily, but had to interrupt him, "Sorry, I can't come."
Zhao Shengyan's smile froze on his face.
"I've thought about it for a long time, and I feel that the current me is more suitable for Dionysus. I still have a lot to learn, and I still have a lot of questions... I need to think clearly." Li Mu said, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity... ..."
"Hey, you boy," Zhao Shengyan's tone was not as elated as before, but still high-spirited, "It's okay, what's the matter..."
"But we have a colleague. She heard that you need someone here, and she wants to come and have a look." Li Mu said, "She is excellent and has rich experience. If you don't mind, I will let her contact you later?"
"Okay." Zhao Shengyan agreed, "Is the person you introduced wrong? Let her come over some time. But you..." Zhao Shengyan paused, "I understand what you decide. If you want to come someday, tell me, there is always a place for you here."
