Three years later
The door of the women's prison in s City opened, and after a while, a woman slowly walked out of it.
The woman was ridiculously thin, wearing the same white dress she had worn when she was sent to a women's prison three years earlier. Now I'm wearing it like a big sack.
She walked slowly, step by step toward the platform more than a hundred meters away. She was carrying a black plastic bag with 31.50 cents in it and an ID card.
Hot summer, walking on the sand road, the road can be seen by the naked eye, rolling a layer of white heat wave. Today's temperature is at least thirty-four degrees, women walking in the sun, the body dry can not afford a drop of sweat.
Pale skin with blue and purple scars, even on the face, near the hairline, the forehead, a scar about three centimeters long, disc horizontal there, very eyesore.
When the bus arrived, the woman got on and carefully took a coin out of a black plastic bag and dropped it into the bus slot. There was no one on the bus. The driver took one look at her and then withdrew his disgusted look... The people who get on the bus here, they're prisoners, they've done crimes, what kind of good people can they be?
The woman did not seem to see the driver's eyes and walked to the back of the car. She went to the very back of the car and sat down in the rear corner, trying not to attract attention.
As the car drove, she looked out the window... Three years, what a difference.
The corners of his mouth gently pulled out a curve... Yeah, three years. What a difference, not just the world outside prison? And her.
When the bus came to a busy area, she suddenly got a shock... Out of prison. Where's she going back to?
Suddenly, she realized the pressing fact that she had no place to go.
Open the black plastic bag, the remaining thirty-five cents inside, she carefully counted three times... From now on, what?
A short distance down the road, a job listing for a business caught her attention.
"Driver, I want to get out of the car, please open the door." Three years of prison life, wear away her pride, speak to people, always lack of confidence.
The driver, full of complaints, opened the door, thanked her, and got out of the car.
Went to the big map of the recruitment information, looked at it for a while, and the line of sight fell on the three words of "cleaner", and fell on the words of "pack a meal".
She has no home, no records, no education, a stint in prison... I'm afraid it's a janitor. No one wants it. But... Pinch the hand of only thirty fifty cents, the woman gnashed her teeth, walked into the name of the "East Emperor International Entertainment Club" nightclub, a go in, Julia played a shiver, the central air conditioning let her whole body cold shivering.
...
"The name." The man spoke impatiently.
"Julia." Coarse Gar's voice sounded slowly, the beautiful woman who took a pen to record her information was frightened, and the neutral pen in his hand almost fell off the table, and he asked her: "How is your voice so ugly?"
After three years of hell life in prison, Julia used to be gentle, even if others have been in her face bluntly criticized her voice ugly, she is still gentle like a person without a temper, slowly said: "smoked."
The beautiful woman was slightly surprised, and her probing eyes fell on Julia's face, "Fire?"
"Well, the fire." Then faintly drop the eyelids. ... It was just a deliberate fire.
Beautiful woman see she does not want to say more, the temperament is not interesting, no longer on the heart, only frowns and tuts: "No, the East Emperor is not a general entertainment club, to not the general guests." And up and down swept Julia a glance, unabashed disgust, obviously very look up to wearing the same sack Julia, the white dress on the body do not know how long to wear, white are yellow.
East Emperor International is not an affordable place for ordinary people to consume, and even an ordinary waiter here must be good-looking and hot. How dare Julia apply for a job.
The gorgeous woman stood up and waved her hand, very locally denied Julia: "No, you can't do this, even if the waiter can't." Turn around and leave.
"I'm applying for a job as a cleaner."
The muffled voice of Coarse Gar rang out in the small office, successfully stopping the woman's steps. The woman at the foot of a meal, turned around, raised her eyebrows, explored and scanned her up and down again, suspicious: "Have not seen the 20-something Kenqu on hardship when a cleaner."
Their cleaning lady here the youngest is over 40 years old. The girl had a broken forehead and was as thin as a bamboo pole, but she was no more than 20 years old. They are more than 20 years old here - female models and princesses! And, of course, the waiters.
I've never heard of a janitor in his 20s.
I thought that this humble girl would be eager to complain, tell her that the world is difficult, life is not easy, and if she really said such a pile of bullshit to himself, he would immediately throw her out.
The Times are hard, ha ha, so many stories like this inside the East Emperor will be published into a story, can fill a library. Who cares how a stranger lives when they meet for the first time?
I did not expect the voice that was a little too excessive to say without haste: "If you can come out to sell, I am also willing to open my legs and say welcome." Before I came, I saw myself. I didn't have the capital to sell myself, so I sold my labor. Do what you can." ... She was just a criminal with the number "926", who entered the place and came out with dignity for what? Julia had a self-deprecating smile in her eyes.
The gorgeous woman was surprised, looked Julia up and down again, walked back to the desk, picked up a pen to fill in the form: "Julia? Simple Jane, fairy tale child?"
"That's right."
"No," the woman looked Julia up and down. "That's the name you give your children. Your parents should love you."
Julia's eyes, dull only a pool of stagnant water... Do you love it?
Yeah, a lot. If she hadn't been wicked enough to kill Summer, if she hadn't brought destruction to Jane's family. Yeah, like, a lot.
"I have no family." Julia said quietly.
The gorgeous woman looked at Julia with a twist, and no longer asked, stood up and said: "OK, you make a copy of your ID card."
Standing up from the chair, stepping on 15 centimeters of sky-high to the door when suddenly stopped, turned to Julia to warn: "Julia, do you know why I made an exception to accept you?"
The woman did not expect Julia to answer, but went on, "Julia, you have a good sentence to say." If you can sell it, you must sell it. If you can't sell it, you must accept your fate and do what you can do.
How many people are you twice as old, do not understand this truth, drill the bull, drill hard, think that with the sky, in fact, it is never clear what they are.
You're willing to look at yourself and see what you can do. Someone who knows what she can do, and I believe she knows what she can't do."
At this point, the gorgeous woman narrowed her eyes: "Julia, the East Emperor is not an ordinary entertainment club."
Julia still does not slow down: "I know, I have an ugly voice." I won't open my mouth." If you don't talk, you don't talk.
Beautiful woman very satisfied with the nod, usually she will not mention some new, dare to the east emperor mix will be prepared psychologically.
Didn't expect to make an exception for a cleaning lady today.
Although her status in the East Emperor is not low, but this blurred metropolis, the rich and powerful, and which one is she can offend up. ... Into the east emperor, you should learn "rules".
What should be said, what should not be done.
"The manager..." Julia was a little embarrassed to say, "I have no place to live."
The beautiful woman said: "Later call me dream sister," and then took out a mobile phone to make a phone call: "Xiao Jiang, you come here, I just recruited a cleaner, you take her to the staff dormitory." Then he hung up the phone and threw a sentence to Julia:
"Come to work tomorrow."
I left Julia here alone.
Julia looked at the induction report in her hand and felt relieved... Tonight, off the streets.
