Chapter 1701 Companions(1/2)
at dusk!
Scott Long sat in the corner of the restaurant...
This man was holding a large bowl of noodles sponsored by Lao Cheng and stirring the beef stew in it with a fork. The noodles he ate were sizzling and looked very sweet.
He was imprisoned for nearly 48 hours by the cruel Lin Shaoqing with a whiskey glass, and he even peed his pants in the end.
If he hadn't fought hard to be beaten to death, grew bigger and rushed into the toilet, there might have been a worse end.
It was Peter who kindly begged for him, so that Scott Lang could sit here cleanly, waiting for Alvin and the others to return.
Robert was sitting near the bar, with a teapot in front of him, holding a book and reading intently.
Lin Shaoqing got a kettle with a very elegant shape from somewhere, and brought a pot of boiling water to make Robert a pot of black tea.
If it weren't for the tea label hanging on Robert's teapot, most people might think that this man is really very particular.
Robert raised his eyes and looked at Lin Shaoqing, using an exquisite kettle that was more expensive than his own car to make cheap black tea for himself...
He also used a small silver tong to pick up two grains of Southeast Asian sugar from an exquisite sugar bowl and put them into his teapot.
The retired old agent smiled and shook his head, looking at Lin Shaoqing and saying: "You don't have to do this to me.
I'm just an ordinary customer!
If you knew what I used to do, then you should understand that what you are doing now is useless."
Lin Shaoqing smiled indifferently after hearing this, politely extended his hand to ask Robert for tea, and then said with a smile: "Nothing is in vain..."
There is a saying in the Chinese nation, "It's not strange to be polite to many people!"
You are a frequent visitor here, and as the temporary lobby manager, I naturally want you to enjoy some special treatment."
Robert actually doesn't hate Lin Shaoqing very much...
It is difficult for ordinary people to see the utilitarian nature of this guy and the "cautiousness" in his daily life.
He can move several children around with just a few words, and even make Harry and Peter start to worship him.
But the old neighbors who often come to the Peace Hotel to eat are all kind-hearted people.
They can all feel Lin Shaoqing's strong desire to gain a foothold in Hell's Kitchen.
The special environment here at Peace Hotel makes it easy for people to relax.
The knowledgeable old man here can feel that Lin Shaoqing has been trying to relax his guard, but he just can't do it.
He can only try to integrate himself into this place through "enthusiastic" service!
Unfortunately, his attempts did not have very good results. The old neighbors were very polite to him, but also very distant.
It is difficult for them to go to the bar to chat a few words and order a glass of whiskey worth 15 yuan, as they did when they were out of breath.
Because chatting with Lin Shaoqing requires cheering up, this group of old Jianghu people feel uncomfortable and even insecure...
But Robert was very close to Lin Shaoqing...
The old guy can naturally see Lin Shaoqing's character problem, because he has seen too many such people.
It’s not without reason that CIA undercover agents take leave to see a psychiatrist after completing a dangerous long-term mission.
Lin Shaoqing's inner insecurity was clearly visible to Robert.
So Robert is always willing to chat with Lin Shaoqing...
It seemed that only when chatting with Robert, Lin Shaoqing could relax a little.
Robert is like a psychiatrist. He is not responsible for listening to Lin Shaoqing's distress, because Lin Shaoqing doesn't know how to complain at all...
He just occasionally said something to explain Lin Shaoqing, which could make Lin Shaoqing relax for a while.
It's hard to say "falling in love"...
Because of this, Robert enjoys real VIP treatment in the restaurant!
Robert looked at the smiling Lin Shaoqing. He smiled and showed eight teeth. After taking a sip of black tea, he said with a smile: "There are many old guys who have fixed seats in the restaurant, but you can't be like everyone."
friend.
There is no way anyone can do this...
At least I know that the 'church' has always wanted to kill Raymond...
Man, what you need now is to relax!
Otherwise there is no way you can make friends here..."
Lin Shaoqing smiled with a strange expression and said, "I think everyone is very friendly!
They all seem to like me better..."
Robert shook his head after hearing this and said with a smile: "Another person who confuses work and life...
In other words, someone who wears a mask that cannot be taken off!"
Robert sighed, looked at Lin Shaoqing and said: "Lin, for most people here, the restaurant is a part of life!
But what did you do?
Your appearance makes it difficult for people here to relax completely...
Old Kent has not been here for two days, and the Italian guy who has been sitting by the window even started to wear a tie to eat.
This is not good!
Lin, if you want to do a good job here, you must first relax yourself."
After hearing this, Lin Shaoqing smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I'm already very relaxed!
real!
At least I sleep on the bed in the apartment opposite, so I won’t worry about talking in my sleep..."
As Lin Shaoqing looked at Robert's bright eyes, he shook his head helplessly and said in an inaudible voice: "My hatred has ended...
I’m so relaxed now!”
Robert waved his hand to signal Lin Shaoqing to stop talking. He smiled and said: "It's useless to lie to yourself!
Some things have been engraved in the bones and are difficult to change!
I don't know why Alvin asked you to be a waiter?
But if you remain in your current state, I guess you will be fired soon."
After hearing this, Lin Shaoqing was silent for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "No way!
I think I did a pretty good job..."
Robert picked up the black tea and took a sip, as if that cheap black tea tasted so good...
He glanced at Lin Shaoqing with a strange expression...
Robert put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "There is no need to hide yourself here..."
Selfish, utilitarian, mean, indifferent, scheming...
Can you get rid of these things?"
Watching Lin Shaoqing become a little unnatural because of his words...
Robert smiled and said: "Don't think too much!
In Hell's Kitchen, these are not problems...
It was even once a ‘virtue’ to survive here!
No one thinks there is a problem with this...
But if you always want to make yourself another 'enthusiastic forest', that's the problem.
People here usually use the most vicious guesses to evaluate a person at the beginning.
They are good at dealing with such people, and even a large number of them are such people themselves...
But they are not good at dealing with a vicious bastard who is backed by the Peace Hotel and wears a mask.
You seem to think I am a good friend...
But friends will not use an expensive kettle and those sugar cubes that cost hundreds of dollars a pound to 'humiliate' a person who drinks disposable tea bags.
You must have thought I was putting on airs at first, so you used this method to 'irony' me.
You see, you seem to be a well-educated person, but it's hard to hide the meanness in your heart.
This is your true character...
I don’t think it’s anything, so I’m happy to have a chat with you.”
Lin Shaoqing didn't feel particularly embarrassed after hearing this...
What Robert said is right, he did "take care of" Robert out of a rather mean mentality.
Because this old guy seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made him feel very bad at first.
To be continued...
