C4 Albino

The Director remained silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and slapped the table and said: "Young boy, young boy, how could you do such a ridiculous thing? — too young, too rough! — Let me say what's good for you. "It's over, it's all over. Don't worry about our matters. If Commissioner Mao and the others were to know about this, I … how will I have the face to continue hanging around in Licheng in the future?"

I was deeply aware of the Director's helplessness and bitterness. I weakly said, "I'll go and apologize to her!"

"Apologize?" The dean sighed bitterly and said, "You don't have to add to the mess. This is a shameful matter for this woman. How about you go and apologize to her?" By the way — "The Director said hurriedly," Young boy, don't tell anyone about this.

I nodded.

After a long silence, the Director picked up his chopsticks and shivered as he said, "Don't even think about it, just eat it, if you don't eat it, then you'll waste it. Look, all the dishes are good, abalone, shark's fin are on it, what a great show of hospitality they have shown us!" With that, the Director took a bite of his food and then drank the glass of red wine, while I also drank my own wine, knocking over her own.

After the two men finished the entire table full of dishes and two bottles of red wine, we were slightly drunk. Then, the two of us swayed our bodies and walked out of the restaurant. When we arrived at the cashier counter, a waiter suddenly called out to us.

The director adjusted his highly myopic glasses and said, "Didn't you already have a knot? "No knot?"

"Yes, sir, the lady who just left booked it, but she didn't pay the bill!"

"How much is it?" The dean's expression became extremely heavy. I think he thought of the abalone table that we had eaten, the fish wings, and the two bottles of high-end foreign red wine.

"Including two bottles of red wine, the total is 3,600 yuan!"

When the waiter said that number, we were all stunned. Three thousand and six hundred dollars? The director almost fell down, three thousand six hundred dollars. At that time, the two of us had only three thousand dollars in total, and that was all we had, and it was also the director's salary for most of half a month. I remember that he had just taken his salary, and since the company was not profitable, we had to rely on his salary to keep us both going.

However, he couldn't just let it go for free. With such a big reporter and a general manager of a leather bag company, if people knew that he was not going to pay for his food and repudiate his debt, it would make people laugh until their teeth fell off.

But there wasn't enough money. What could he do? The two men became even more anxious, almost causing them to feel even more embarrassed than before.

"Sir, where should we pay?" The waiter smiled amiably.

"Oh, yes, yes!" The director swayed, threw himself in front of the cashier's desk, then pursed his lips and said, "Why is it so expensive, I know the owner of your hotel —" I knew what the director was going to say, but he felt that this was too disrespectful and didn't continue. The cashier said, "Then why don't you give our Director Chen a call?"

The cashier shook his head and said, "Oh, no, no, three thousand and six hundred dollars, right?" The cashier smiled and nodded.

What to do?

The director said, "Oh, you're so pretty. Oh, right, we didn't have enough money, so why don't we call our friends and check in?" I was getting goosebumps listening to him, almost feeling ashamed. The waiters must have heard about what had happened in the private room and knew that the woman should have been paying the bill.

The waiter said yes, and the director came over and put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Little kid, you call her and see if you can make her do this!" I think the director was drunk and couldn't let me contact her again when he wasn't drunk, and I felt that it was shameful, but I don't think he was completely drunk now, or else he would have called, but he could still feel a little bit of face, so he handed the problem to me.

I stared blankly and did not move. I was already 25 years old. How could I do something like this? He was afraid of losing face, but I was also afraid of losing face!

The director understood my thoughts, and said with some pity and heartache: "It would never have been like this, child, but now, I don't blame you, so you should take it all for your own fault —" The director said, it was because of me, and I was responsible, but I still said, "Director, you see, can't you ask other friends for money, after all, it's not appropriate to look for her-"

"Let's look for other friends. When I get back, I'll definitely be suspicious. My friends are familiar with all aspects of the hotel, if they hear anything from the waiter, wouldn't that mean I've kicked the whole thing out?" "You're still young, she's already over thirty years old, so she must think of you as her younger brother or something. You should call her and tell her that I drank too much and that I'm not feeling well, so I'll leave first. When you come out, you heard that you have to pay the bill. When you heard so much, you didn't bring that much money —"

I see. The director's words did make sense, but after what happened just now, she was still willing to pay the bill? How is that possible? But then again, she was also afraid of being found out, so she must be afraid of making a fuss about it, if she was smart enough, she would, I think I wouldn't care about her face, what face do I have now, the director gave me her phone, I took out my cell phone, listen to what he said to me, every number I dialed was like a mountain of knives and a sea of flames, the pressure was too great, the number went in, as long as I pressed that button, the other side would probably answer, but perhaps because the incident just now was too infuriating, I wouldn't answer it.

I dialed the number.
