It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 356: Who, take the sandpaper and rub the grooves for me

"It's my first time to visit the Bathhouse Street. I have to experience the special features here. It's better to give it to friends than to outsiders."

Liu Zheng replied calmly.

"And 20,000 yuan is not a lot. I'll put the card here after I get it, and my friends can use it when they come. The people here on Yuchang Street are very welcoming, and I believe I can make a lot of friends."

"For example, Manager, I think we can become good friends, don't you think?"

He looked the lobby manager straight in the eye and said.

"Mr. Liu, if someone like you is willing to be my friend, then I would definitely be more than happy to do so. However, there is no rush to apply for a card."

"How about this? I'll take you to meet our boss first. Then we'll discuss the card discount."

The lobby manager had no choice but to say.

"Okay, let's go then."

Liu Zheng said.

"this way please."

The lobby manager led the way in front while secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

This man looked young, but was not easy to deal with, especially since his words were even sharper than his. He was indeed the delivery man of the Bloody Restaurant.

The first floor of Gaga Shuang Bathhouse is the lobby and bathing pool, the second floor is the restaurant, sauna and entertainment, the third floor is for massage and special services, and the fourth floor is the office area.

The lobby manager took them to the boss's office and knocked on the door three times.

"Please come in."

A female voice came from inside.

"what?"

The lobby manager hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door.

The office looked like an ordinary boss's office, but the boss's chair was empty. There was only a woman wearing OL clothes and looking capable sitting on the small desk next to it.

"Old Four, who are these people?"

The woman stood up and asked.

"This is a distinguished guest from the city. Secretary Li, is the boss not here?"

asked the fourth child.

"The boss received a phone call a few minutes ago and left in a hurry."

Secretary Li replied.

"How long have you been back?"

"No, I didn't tell you where I was going. But before the boss left, he told me that if a guest named Liu from the city came, you and I should entertain her. We'll finalize the follow-up matters after she comes back."

Secretary Li said.

"Okay. Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

The fourth one looked at Liu Zheng.

"The guest should follow the host's wishes. I also want to experience your project, so please ask the fourth manager to take us around."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

He didn't know whether Gaga Shuang's boss really had something urgent to do or was deliberately avoiding him, but as long as the process could continue, it was fine.

As long as he shows his strength and sincerity, I believe Secretary Li will find a way to inform her boss.

"Okay then, the three of you follow me."

The fourth brother took Liu Zheng and the other two back to the first floor and came to the locker room again.

"Give the three VIPs a hand of cards, and then open three consecutive numbers on the counter."

He called over a waiter and gave instructions.

The upper cabinets are the cabinets in the top few rows, so you don’t have to bend over when storing and retrieving items, and they are not as damp.

"Okay. Three distinguished guests, follow me."

The waiter said attentively.

"Then the three of you go take a shower first. I'll go arrange the next project for you."

The fourth child said.

"Then I'll trouble Manager Four."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"No trouble, no trouble."

The fourth brother left the locker room while speaking.

After leaving the locker room, he did not go to the technician department, but returned to the boss's office.

"Secretary Li, what's going on? Is the boss really gone or is he just pretending to be gone?"

The fourth brother came into the office and looked around while asking.

"Are you really gone? Stop looking around. Is there any silver in that trash can?"

Since there were no outsiders around, Secretary Li, who appeared to be intelligent and generous, immediately revealed his true nature.

"Hey, I think there's some trash in the trash can, so I'm taking it out for you. Is the boss really in trouble or not?"

The fourth brother asked again.

"Why, do you think the boss is avoiding those people on purpose?"

Secretary Li saw through his thoughts at a glance.

"Yeah, what if it's not?"

The fourth brother said without hesitation.

The boss doesn't go out early or late, but goes out when someone comes. Isn't that hiding on purpose?
"Do you think the boss is as cowardly as you are? He promised to do something, but he went out to hide temporarily. If the news gets out, will he still be a human being?"

Secretary Li said unhappily.

"What's going on? If the boss doesn't come back, what are we going to do with these people?"

The fourth one asked with a headache.

No matter how rich the activities at Gaga Shuang Bathhouse are, they will eventually be completed.

Besides, people don’t really come here for a bath scrub.

"I don't know, but it sounds like it's about a divorce."

Secretary Li said.

"Divorce? The call with that kid Zhen Xinzhai?"

"From the tone of voice, it should be."

Secretary Li said uncertainly.

After all, it was the boss's private matter, so she didn't want to listen too carefully.

"That's it. Zhen Xinzhai lives in the city. It's unlikely that the boss will come back today."

The fourth brother's face suddenly fell.

"If you ask me, boss, don't bother with that guy. Just give him everything except the bathhouse. With our bathhouse, she can't make any money."

He couldn't help but complain.

The boss has been dragging his feet on the divorce issue for nearly half a year, and Zhen Xinzhai has also come to make trouble several times, which has more or less affected the operation of the bathhouse.

And every time Zhen Xinzhai came, the boss liked to ask him to take the blame, and he suffered a lot.

But the fourth brother didn't know who owned the bathhouse, and he didn't dare to fight back, so he felt very aggrieved.

"You can be the boss, so just give up if you want to."

Secretary Li rolled his eyes at him.

It's true that the bathhouse can make money, but those houses, savings, stocks and so on didn't fall from the sky and you can't just give them up like that.

Besides, Zhen Xinzhai is not a fool and he will not give up his shares in the bathhouse easily.

"Then what should we do? If they really want to cooperate, how can I make the final decision? That young man is not an easy person to deal with. If he thinks we are deliberately insulting him, he will make a scene in the bathhouse, and I won't be able to stop him."

The fourth brother said with a bitter face.

Even if he could stop it, he wouldn't dare to.

As soon as he arrived, he applied for a card with 20,000 yuan. He was accompanied by a mummy who looked very capable in fighting. He was also an employee of the Bloody Restaurant.

This kind of guy with money and background, even if he can't deal with Gaga Shuang, will have no problem dealing with him, a lobby manager.

If he gets off work, he will be put in a sack. Where can he seek justice?

"Then you are the lobby manager, if you don't stop it, who will?"

Secretary Li was also having a headache, so he tried to pressure him. "Then I'll ask him to come to the office to talk. The boss said that we two will be the host anyway."

Lao Si has been the lobby manager for so many years, so it is impossible for him to be squeezed out by just one sentence.

"Hey, Lao Si, you really can't take responsibility. Are you still a man?"

Even though he knew his character, Secretary Li was still furious when he heard him say that.

"I am a man, but I am also my mother's son and my wife's husband. If I die taking the blame for you, will you go to my grave? Then my wife will have to dig out her coffin for me."

The fourth brother showed no sign of shame at all.

"You! Forget it, forget it. Just go and calm the guy down while I call the boss, okay?"

Secretary Li said helplessly.

The boss usually has a good temper, but when it comes to divorce, he becomes angry.

If you call her at this time, you will definitely get scolded.

But now the fourth brother clearly wanted to pass the blame to her, and there was nothing she could do.

"Secretary Li has a plan. I'll prepare two little stupid chickens and a big goose and ask the kitchen to stew them. You must come and eat them then."

The fourth brother immediately put on a smiling face.

"Did you do this? You must be doing this to help others?"

Secretary Li glanced at him.

As colleagues and competitors for so many years, she knew the man in front of her too well.

"Hey, it doesn't matter who you are, just eat and drink well. I have to serve those two masters."

As the fourth brother spoke, he walked outside and closed the door behind him.

"This old man is really cunning."

Secretary Li shook his head and took out his cell phone.

"Xiao Ma, have those guests finished showering?"

The fourth brother returned to the locker room and called a waiter over and asked.

"Not yet. The human and the minotaur were washed quickly, but the mummy is more delicate and will take a while to wash."

The waiter replied.

"so far so good."

The fourth brother breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little curious.

How does a mummy take a bath?

"Why can't a mummy take a bath? You know this is called a stereotype, right?"

Facing Liu Zheng who asked the same question, Dr. Nile said while rubbing his crotch.

"Isn't drying your antiseptic method the key? Then wouldn't it rot if you soaked it in water?"

He pointed out the problem.

"Then just dry it in the sun. I am the priest of Ra, and it is not difficult for me to summon some sunlight."

Dr. Nile said proudly.

"That cow, help me rub this place."

He stretched his gluteus maximus and spoke to Niu Daji.

"Ah I?"

Niu Daji was stunned for a moment.

"Otherwise, should I ask him to rub it for me?"

Doctor Nile said.

When he was still a human, he was a priest and belonged to the aristocratic class.

After becoming a mummy, he is also the owner of the clinic. He is very familiar with ordering people around, not to mention that Niu Daji is not a human being.

Doctor Nile was kind and respectful to Liu Zheng, even a little flattering, but that didn't mean he would be the same to other people or non-humans.

Niu Daji looked at Liu Zheng pitifully, and was decisively ignored.

He is not a pushover. He is just helping to rub the grooves, not licking them or sprinkling water.

"Ugh."

Niu Daji resigned himself to picking up the towel and preparing to help Doctor Nile rub the grooves.

"Wait a minute, that one can't be rubbed clean, use that one."

Doctor Nile pointed to the sandpaper on the shelf.

"Mummy, that's for sharpening hooves for even-toed ungulates like us."

Niu Daji was shocked.

"So what? Sildenafil citrate tablets were not invented to treat impotence."

Dr. Nile said nonchalantly.

After the three of them finished taking a shower, they returned to the locker room and changed into the bathrobes handed to them by the waiter.

"You three are done showering? How do you like our shower room?"

The fourth one appeared from the side in time.

"It's pretty good, but the grit of your sandpaper is not high enough, so my grooves are not clean enough."

Doctor Nile offered his opinion.

"We are not well prepared. I will tell the purchasing department to buy more than 2000 mesh next time."

The fourth brother said seriously.

Grinding is divided into coarse grinding, medium grinding, fine grinding, ultrafine grinding and mirror polishing.

Sandpaper with a grit of 2000 or above is already considered super fine. Generally speaking, even for sharpening knives, it is enough to use sandpaper with a grit of around 1200.

"Yes, the service here is really good. It's a pity that it's not in the city, otherwise I would come here often in the future."

Dr. Nile said with satisfaction.

"You can come even if you are not in the city. You are our VIP. Just give me a call and I will personally pick you up in a sedan chair."

The fourth one laughed.

Listening to their conversation, Liu Zheng seemed expressionless, but in his mind he was sending emojis to the old man on the subway phone.

Compared to those terrifying and bizarre crises, the sense of disharmony that is everywhere in daily life in the metropolis truly makes him realize that he is in a distorted world.

"Manager Four, what are the arrangements for next?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's all right. If you want to go to the sauna, we'll go to the sauna. If you want to have a scrub, we'll have a scrub. If you want to eat or drink something, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare all our specialties for you."

The fourth brother said with a smile on his face.

Of course, there was one more thing he hadn't said.

If you want to go back, I will arrange a sedan chair to take you back to the city.

"Manager Four, I see that you are a sensible person, so I will tell you the truth. You should know why I am here, right?"

Liu Zheng stretched out a tentacle and placed it on his shoulder.

"Well, I know. I know."

Being stared at by his sharp eyes, the fourth brother had no choice but to answer honestly.

"I'm also quite pressed for time. In that case, let's just go through the necessary procedures."

Liu Zheng said.

If the owner of Gaga Shuang Bathhouse was here, he would definitely not be so anxious. At least he would communicate with each other first, then find common interests between the two parties, and then discuss the prospects for future cooperation.

But now that the owner of Gaga Shuang Bathhouse is not here, he has to speed up the pace.

In this way, no matter whether the other party is really absent or pretending to be absent, he can leave time to respond.

"You came all the way here, and you're already going for it without even being treated well. If word gets out, people will say that we at the Gaga Shuang Bathhouse have no manners. Why don't you have a meal first? I'll drink a couple of cups with you first."

The fourth brother tried to struggle again.

"I don't like appetizers, I prefer main courses. If the fourth manager continues to delay, I can only think that Gaga Shuang Bathhouse has no sincerity in cooperating."

"I am using my vacation time to discuss cooperation with you. Do you know how precious the vacation time is for a delivery man from a bloody restaurant?"

"An hour's incident is enough for me to blow up a street in the city. This time I came for peace, and I only brought some self-defense items. It may not be enough to blow up the bathhouse street, but it should be more than enough to blow up a bathhouse."

Liu Zheng's body was still steaming, but his face was as cold as ice.
