After Catching The Rich And Old-Fashioned Daddy Chapter 1
byChapter 1 Time Travel
Cross-dressing liar in bar
1982, Hong Kong Island.
The neon sign of the Westin bar faded in the noisy night. In the simple dressing room, Li Chu looked at the dirty mirror to check his makeup for the last time.
“Sister Sitong, is this really okay?”
The “girl” in the mirror looks strange yet familiar. Her cheeks and nose are deeply rouged, and her eyeliner is deliberately elongated and raised, making her facial features look three-dimensional and unlike those of an Oriental.
The most eye-catching thing is the wig on his head. The fluffy and wavy hair hangs down to his waist. The exaggerated flaxen blond hair shows a plastic luster under the dim light.
The tall girl next to her looked left and right, took out a bottle of perfume from her bag and sprayed it a few times.
“What can’t you do? She’s so stunningly beautiful! You must have confidence as a person!” (Why not? She’s so beautiful!)
Wen Sitong pinched Li Chu’s face and sighed inwardly about his natural beauty. No matter how cheap makeup was, it could not cover up his beautiful facial features, especially those sparkling peach blossom eyes. If a man saw her, she would be moved!
“Ah Chu, hurry up! It’s time to start!” An urging voice came from outside the door, it was the bar manager Ah Le, “There are many people tonight, sell well, and you will get the commission.”
“Come on, come on -” Li Chu responded.
“Xiao Chu, I’m leaving first! You can use your scheming to find the money!” (Xiao Chu, I’m leaving first! You go ahead and make money!) Wen Sitong gave him a comforting smile, opened the door and left.
…
It has been a month since Li Chu traveled to this era.
Living in the 21st century, he was an ordinary freshman.However, the gambling uncle sold him to his creditor in order to pay off his debt.
Li Chu was chased and had no choice but to jump into the sea. When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on the cold shore of Victoria Harbor.
Until Wen Sitong, who was passing by, knelt down, patted his face, and said in authentic Cantonese: “Hello? Are you okay? Do you want me to call a taxi for you?” (Hello? Are you okay? Do you want to call an ambulance for you?)
Li Chu still felt incredible every time he looked up at the towering buildings.
Hong Kong Island in the 1980s was a period of economic boom, and there was gold everywhere.However, he has no identity and no money. The first thing he has to face is the problem of food.
So during the day, Li Chu washed dishes in the back kitchen of a tea restaurant in Yau Ma Tei. After a hard day’s work, he was so tired that he couldn’t straighten his waist, and only earned a few dozen Hong Kong dollars.The only good thing is that the restaurant provides staff meals, so he won’t starve to death.
After solving the problem of eating, you have to solve the problem of accommodation.
Wen Sitong was an orphan and rented a rooftop house that was cold in winter and hot in summer.Li Chu had been laying the floor in her house this month and was stepped on several times while sleeping in the middle of the night.
Although I have a place to live now, I can’t disturb others for too long.So after being introduced by the kind-hearted security guard downstairs, Li Chu came to this bar to work as a wine salesman, selling fake foreign wine, and he had to wear women’s clothing.
Before that, Li Chu’s only experience in cross-dressing was playing the role of a princess in the school drama club.
So he refused at first.
However, when A Le photographed several hundred Hong Kong dollars in front of Li Chu, Li Chu fell silent.
Wow, who makes him short of money?
“Remember, you are “Bella”, a mixed-race girl from London who doesn’t speak Cantonese well but is good at drinking.”
Ah Lok and Li Chu are similar in age, and they are very capable in their work, just like the handsome boy in Hong Kong movies. Seeing his dull expression, he kindly gave him a few words of advice.
“Smile when guests ask you anything, and smile sweetly. If they touch your hand, don’t hide away, but not from the waist down. The more wine you sell, the more you earn.”
Li Chu felt his stomach churn when he heard that, and just when he was about to back down, A Le glanced at him: “Don’t blame me for not reminding you, there are so many people outside rushing to do this job, I only gave you this opportunity because you are beautiful and have a good figure.
“Brother Le, I understand.”
At ten o’clock sharp, the atmosphere in the bar is lively.
A beautiful mixed-race girl wearing a JK uniform walked between the booths on ill-fitting high heels.
The lights were dim and blurry, and many men were attracted by her pair of long, white and slender legs under “her” skirt.The gaze extends upward, and the palm-width waist seems to be able to be circled by one hand.
One word, positive.
“Sir, would you like to try our new Scotch whiskey?The taste is very pure.”Li Chu stopped at a booth and showed a standard smile to several men wearing floral shirts and gold chains.
The fat man looked him up and down, his greasy eyes scanning his legs: “New here?Never seen it before.”
“My name is Bella, I just came from London.”Li Chu spoke a very non-standard Cantonese. His voice was not sweet, but it was pleasant to the ear.
“Bella?Good name.The man grinned, showing his teeth yellowed by smoke, “Sit down and have a drink?””
“I still have to work…” Li Chu pretended to be shy and moved away from the hands that just wanted to hug his waist.
But A Le has taught him not to be too resistant, but to stay away and trick others into taking the bait.
Li Chu took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for the man and moved closer, the scent of perfume wafting from his hair.
The man smelled it for a while and felt distraught. He raised his glass and took a sip, looking at Li Chu with some unfinished thoughts.
“Is this wine good?Our boss specially shipped it from Scotland, and we are the only one in Hong Kong who has it.”Li Chu lied without changing his expression, and lightly brushed the label of the wine bottle with his fingers, “There is an event tonight, buy three and get one free.”
In fact, it is low-quality alcohol from a factory under Sham Shui Po mixed with water and mixed with a little real wine for seasoning. Drinking too much will give you a headache.
“Buy!Miss Bella recommended it, of course I have to buy it!The man’s face turned red, and he was obviously already drunk. He waved his hand and said, “Give me six bottles!””
Li Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became sweeter: “Sir, you are so generous, I will go and get it right away.”
Once a transaction is completed, the commission will be HKD 120.
Li Chu was calculating in his mind, but his steps became heavier.He needs money, a lot of money.
It costs at least 5,000 Hong Kong dollars to apply for a fake ID card on the black market. How many bottles of fake wine does he have to sell to get the money?
In the next two hours, Li Chu completed several more orders.
In the early hours of the morning, there were more and more customers in the bar, and the night on Hong Kong Island had just begun.
Li Chu walked back and forth for a long time, his feet had blisters from the high heels, and his scalp was numb due to the wig.He ducked into a corner behind the bar to catch his breath.
“Tired?”Bartender Jia Ming handed him a glass of water, “Drink some, nothing is added.”
Although they have only met once or twice, Jia Ming is one of the few people here who is friendly to Li Chu, probably because they are all the same kind who are struggling at the bottom.
Li Chu gratefully took the cup and took a sip, fearing that it would rub off the lipstick Wen Sitong carefully applied to him.
“Over there, there’s a big fish in deck No. 17.”Jia Ming lowered his voice and glanced at the darkest corner of the bar, “I’ve seen Loro Piana’s suit and the watch on his hand in magazines, at least one or two million.I’ve been sitting alone for an hour and only wanted a glass of water.”
Li Chu looked in the direction——
The booth is hidden in the shadow of the metal pillar, and the light is almost out of reach.
But you can vaguely see the tall silhouette of a man, with straight shoulder lines and an upright sitting posture, which is incompatible with the surrounding environment.
“Why don’t you go say hello?Li Chu asked.
“I went, my three younger sisters all went, and he sent me back with just one word.”Jia Ming shrugged, somewhat confused about the other party: “I don’t even need to say a word, just two words.His posture was so intimidating that no one dared to bother him.”
Li Chu pursed his lips, and a little person moved in his heart.
It is a very rare opportunity for the best wealthy people to appear in this place.
If he can win this order… maybe his identity will be secured and he will be able to work normally.
Li Chu had excellent grades since childhood and received a full scholarship every year. He also had his own ideals.If it weren’t for his crazy uncle, he wouldn’t be in this situation.
“I’ll try it.”Li Chu put down the water glass and picked up the tray again.
“Hey, are you crazy?Didn’t you see that person’s appearance?”Jia Ming wanted to hold him back.
Li Chu smiled, not knowing whether he was comforting Jia Ming or himself, “Just give it a try, in the worst case you’ll be kicked away, and you won’t lose a piece of meat.”
He took a deep breath and walked towards the shadow.
The man in the booth sat quietly, not looking at the dance floor or the singers performing on the stage.Occasionally he raised his hand to take a sip of water, his movements as calm as attending some kind of business meeting.
“Good evening, sir.”
Li Chu stopped by the booth, his heart pounding in his chest, trying to make his voice sound natural, “Are you alone?Would you like to try our new arrival…”
Before he finished speaking, the man raised his head.
In the dim light, Li Chu met a pair of eyes.Deep and quiet, like the endless deep sea.
The man’s superior facial features have obvious mixed-race characteristics, with high brow bones, straight nose bridge, and facial contours like a knife and an axe.
Compared to his perfect appearance, his unique temperament is even more shocking.
His gaze fell on Li Chu’s face. It didn’t have the lust and frivolity that most bar patrons had when looking at “Bella”, but it gave people a breathless and coercive feeling.
“What wine?”The man spoke, his deep and mellow voice sounding very magnetic.
Li Chu quickly handed the tray forward and recited the words skillfully: “This is single malt whiskey shipped from Scotland. It is our boss’s collection. It tastes very mellow…”
He didn’t look at the wine bottle, his dark eyes still rested on Li Chu’s face.
His eyes were so sharp that Li Chu felt as if the other person could see through his thick foundation and wig.
“You’re selling this and you’re short of money?”The man asked calmly.
