"Master …" Looking at Xu Xianwu, Xia Xiaomin was thinking about how she could earn more money last night. She looked dispirited.

Seeing this, Xu Shangwu was even more sure of what he was thinking, and his heart ached even more. He grabbed Xia Xiaomin's hand and asked with concern like a father: "Xiaomin, what worries you have for your master? If you come to work like this, what should we do?" Do you want to go back and rest during the holidays? "

Xu Shangwu wasn't a tyrannical and domineering person. After all, Xia Xiaomin was his disciple, so he loved her dearly. However, if she didn't want to say what she felt in her heart, it was her own personal matter, so he didn't force her.

However, he couldn't be careless while working in the kitchen, especially in the Howell Hotel. He was worried that Xia Xiaomin's condition would cause trouble for herself or even the entire kitchen.

"That's right, Xiao Min. Why don't you go back and rest?" Lu Ni, who had been standing by Xia Xiaomin's side the entire time, saw her dejected appearance. Hearing Xu Shangwu's words, she immediately added.

"Master, Lu Ni, I'm fine. I just didn't get a good rest last night."

She forced a smile on her face, trying to reassure them. However, Xia Xiaomin's dark circles exposed her exhaustion.

"Lu Ni, you go ahead. Xiao Min, come with me." Xu Shangwu didn't let it go. He pulled Xia Xiaomin to the kitchen and closed the door. Then he pulled her down to the first floor. When he was sure there was no one around, he turned his attention back to Xia Xiaomin.

"Xiao Min, don't lie to me. Did something happen when we got home?" Or did your husband do something to you? " Xu Shangwu's expression was solemn as he frowned. There was a hint of anger in his tone.

Even though Xia Xiaomin didn't say anything, he had a feeling that her sudden change was related to her temporary departure.

"No, it's nothing …" She didn't want others to worry about her, that was Xia Xiaomin's way of doing things. She wanted to continue to show that she was fine, but then her head flashed and she stopped, the rest of her words stuck in her throat.

"Xiao Min?" Xu Shangwu suddenly turned serious and asked with doubt on his face.

"Ah, Master, I …" "It's my husband, he's in trouble in business. Although he said that I don't have to worry about it, I think we're a family after all. I want to share some of the burden with him, but …"

Although Xu Shangwu was the head chef in the kitchen, he knew a lot of people and had a wide range of faces. Xia Xiaomin thought that her master might be able to introduce her to a part-time job.

Xu Shangwu was a smart man, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Xia Xiaomin's words.

"You need money? How much? Master wants to see how much is left in the account. "

The first thing Xu Shangwu thought of was to do his best to help Xia Xiaomin financially.

He knew Xia Xiaomin's background. She had been working in the kitchen as an apprentice. She had studied hard and worked hard. That was the only achievement she had made today.

The work in the kitchen was cumbersome and busy. Xu Shangwu didn't expect to introduce the second job to Xia Xiaomin right away. After all, she was physically weak. Overwork might be too much for her to bear.

"No, no, master, that's not what I meant." Seeing Xu Shangwu take out his phone to check his bank account, Xia Xiaomin waved her hand to stop him.

Hearing this, Xu Shangwu raised his head, his eyes were filled with even more puzzlement.

"Master, it's not easy for anyone to earn money. Besides, even though you are my master, I don't like to owe money to others, so can you introduce me to a part-time job?"

It would be best if it was the type that could earn money quickly!

Xia Xiaomin didn't say the last sentence. Such hasty words might cause Xu Shangwu to misunderstand. She was going to be a chaperone or something …

After all, in Xia Xiaomin's opinion, the most profitable business in the world was to become a celebrity, and to have three concubines at the same time …

She wasn't discriminating against those professions. After all, everyone earned their money through hard work. However, the method was different since Xia Xiaomin couldn't accept it.

Abandoning her pride, she gave a disgusted smile to those people. Although Xia Xiaomin was poor, there was no way she could do something that went against her will.

"I do have a job, but can you take it?" Xu Shangwu finally understood the meaning behind her words. It was not hard to find a job, but the hard part was that he doubted Xia Xiaomin's body would be able to hold on.

Her gaze swept from her head all the way to her feet, sizing up her petite body. Xu Shangwu did not doubt her hardworking spirit.

However, humans were human after all, not steel. If the time for resting was shortened, they could still endure for a short period of time. However, it would have a negative effect for a long time.

"Master, there's no problem. Don't worry, it's just a part-time job. I won't take up too much time. I'll do the kitchen work well and I won't miss my studies."

Facing Xu Shangwu's suspicious eyes, Xia Xiaomin thought her master misunderstood that she would give up her job because she found another job, so she kept emphasizing it. The confidence in her eyes became more resolute.

"Forget it, it's good that you can bear it. I also believe that you will do the kitchen work properly. The hotel's room manager just chatted with me and said that he would need temporary help to clean up the rooms tonight. If you want, I'll go and tell him that it's after work, so there's no conflict. "

Patting Xia Xiaomin on the shoulder, Xu Shangwu quickly introduced her to a job.

Xia Xiaomin's eyes lit up when she heard she had a job so quickly. The cells in her body began to grow excited, and she could almost see Grandpa Mao flying towards her.

"I'm willing!" Xia Xiaomin answered without a second thought, nodding her head like she was pounding garlic.

"Sure, I'll make a call first."

"Mhmm!"

With a glimmer of hope, Xia Xiaomin watched Xu Shangwu's figure walk off into the distance. She heard him recommend her to the room manager, and then he said, "Okay, no problem", "she will be on time", "she is responsible for her work", and other words of assurance and praise. Then, she hung up the phone and went back to Xia Xiaomin.

"Master, how is it?" Although she asked this, Xia Xiaomin had already decided that the job was set. Out of politeness, she decided to ask first.

"It's decided. 300 RMB for one night. You will start working at 7 o'clock. After work, go to the guest room logistics department to report. Which floor should I clean? I will arrange it for you." Xu Shangwu shook his head as he smiled at the excited Xia Xiaomin.

"Sure, no problem!" Xia Xiaomin straightened herself and nodded solemnly.

Of course, she cherished the hard work.

"In the future! If you have something on your mind, just say it, don't hold it in. "

Seeing Xia Xiaomin's dejected appearance, Xu Shangwu patted her on the shoulder again as he said this with sincerity.

"Hehe, Master, I'm sorry for making you worry." Xia Xiaomin smiled awkwardly as she scratched the back of her head.

This middle-aged man before her was her master on the path of a chef and also someone she treated as family. She was very grateful for his concern and would not let down his expectations.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, then go back to work!" Patting her on the shoulder, Xu Shangwu turned around and went upstairs to the kitchen.

Xia Xiaomin's mood returned to its normal joyous state, and she was no longer depressed like before. Thinking back to how she could make extra money tonight, she worked even harder.

Unknowingly, time had already passed. After washing the last plate, it was time to get off work. After saying goodbye to her kitchen friends and explaining the situation to Lu Ni, Xia Xiaomin tidied up her things and went to the room's logistics department to put on the temporary work clothes they had given her.

After the assigned tasks were completed, he pushed his cleaning cart to the 21st floor.

The elevator door opened with a "ding" sound, and Xia Xiaomin pushed her car into the quiet hallway. The doors on both sides of the room were closed, and no one could hear or hear anything around them.

Putting the car aside, Xia Xiaomin picked up the room card that had been assigned to her. She arranged the numbers one by one, and cleaned all the rooms that had been occupied.

Since it was a job introduced by Xu Shangwu, Xia Xiaomin didn't dare to be careless. She finished her work seriously and efficiently, but just as she was about to return the car, she heard a conversation coming from a room ahead.

It sounded like the voices of a man and a woman. Right now, it was deep into the night. If there was some sort of love killing incident …

Following the principle of thinking for the honor of the hotel, Xia Xiaomin put down the cleaning car, walked to the half-open door, and peeked out furtively.

The man inside was a man and a woman. The man looked rather handsome, but Xia Xiaomin didn't recognize him. But that woman, wasn't she the current popular little flower Lin XIyao?

These two had JQ!

That was the first thought that popped into Xia Xiaomin's mind. Why else would a man and a woman be staying in a hotel room so late at night?

"Luo Zhan, I'm sorry, this is the last time, the last time okay? Leave me a memory? "

Unable to defeat her inner self's Lin Xiyao, he had still invited Zhong Luozheng here.

"Is this what you want?" Zhong Luozhan's eyes were as calm as water, but his tone was ice-cold.

"Wait for me." When Zhong Luozhuang was caught off guard, she threw herself into his embrace, raised her head, and grabbed his cheeks with both hands as she moved closer to him.

Cold, soft lips covered his warm lips, sucking them longingly, trying to carve his breath and taste deep into his mind.

Zhong Luozhan didn't push her away. He stood there steadily for a moment, his arms wrapped around Lin Xiyao's waist as he responded to her kiss.
