Luo Xi looked at Xie Chen who was incomprehensible and also looked puzzled.
"what?"
"Aren't you awake yet? Or are you just asleep?"
After what she said, Xie Chen suddenly wondered whether the figure of Luo Xi on the inclined staircase just now was his imagination.
"well."
Xie Chen pointed to the sloping staircase and murmured a question.
"Who's up there now?"
Luo Xi glared at Xie Chen, his expression not very friendly.
"You haven't even answered my question yet, and you still have the nerve to ask me back!"
Seeing Luo Xi so excited, Xie Chen was a little embarrassed.
"..."
"If I hadn't woken up, would I be standing here now?"
"Aren't you funny?"
Luo Xi pouted and walked straight ahead, ignoring Xie Chen.
Xie Chen stretched out his hand and was about to speak, but in the end, no words came out.
Seeing Luo Xi walking towards the inclined staircase without looking back, after much hesitation, he chose to follow slowly.
But she walked very fast and had already passed the aisle in the blink of an eye. As soon as she climbed up the inclined staircase, Luo Xi had already disappeared.
Xie Chen looked towards the aisle, but still found no one.
"Where have you gone?"
Xie Chen looked around the corridor, but found nothing unusual.
At a glance, there was only one room at the end of the brightly lit spacious corridor.
Faced with this situation, Xie Chen felt a little unsure, but he still had the courage to walk over.
Luo Guyu's behavior yesterday was a bit strange, and today even Luo Xi was implicated.
If these two sisters were also part of the strange story, then their current situation would be worse than imagined.
Analyze from an objective perspective.
No matter what, they are just employees of the swimming pool.
Since both of them will be affected, it only proves that he is probably also suffering from imperceptible erosion now.
Thinking of his occasionally ups and downs in mental state, Xie Chen couldn't help but feel tingly in his heart.
Xie Chen pursed his lips, but kept his mind in mind, and then slowly walked towards the room at the end. Although the pace was not big, the corridor was not actually long, and he arrived in a short time. Inside.
The door was ajar, and the smell of Malatang inside was even stronger.
Xie Chen couldn't help but wipe the tip of his nose, and then leaned through the crack in the door to peek at what was going on inside.
A gurgling sound reached his ears.
Two casseroles are burning on the stove, and the food inside emits an attractive aroma.
Sure enough, this is the kitchen.
But Xie Chen didn't see anyone in the kitchen, and even Luo Xi, who had just come up, didn't know where he had gone.
Just when Xiechen was thinking about opening the door wider, someone pushed him behind him.
"What are you doing?"
"Just eat, why are you standing at the door of the kitchen sneaking around?"
Luo Xi, who had already come up.
At this time, Xiechen Man appeared behind him again and spoke with some resentment.
Xie Chen was startled and stuttered a bit when he spoke.
"you……"
"Didn't you just go upstairs? Why...are you behind me again?"
Luo Xi listened to Xie Chen's words with a very confused expression.
It was as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.
"What can't come up? What are you talking about?"
Xie Chen stared at her expression, but could not see any trace of lying.
"Where were you just now?"
Xie Chen took a step back, pushed open the kitchen door with one hand, stood still and asked.
"Of course I'm in the room with my sister, where else could I be."
Xie Chen held his chin up with a puzzled look on his face, thinking quickly in his mind.
Seeing that Xie Chen fell silent again, Luo Xi couldn't help but be speechless.
"You're such a strange person."
"I went to bed so late yesterday, and got up so early today. It's so early in the morning, and I still ask if I have these things."
When Xie Chen said this, she couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced.
"Then you got up after five o'clock in the morning? Why did you get up so early?"
Luo Xi rolled her eyes.
"Of course I'm going to the bathroom, otherwise what else could I do?"
Xie Chen pointed behind himself with his finger.
"To the restroom?"
"You came to the kitchen to go to the toilet?"
Luo Xi said softly: "I don't think you are sneaking around here, otherwise why do you think I came here?"
Xie Chen was speechless for a moment. He wanted to refute but couldn't find a place to do it, so he had to change his tone and change the topic.
"What about your sister?"
Luo Xi faced the question and spread his hands: "Of course it was in the room. You thought everyone was just like you."
"Room?"
"Then who's in the kitchen?"
Just when Xie Chen finished speaking.
A burly figure appeared behind him, and a more forceful tone followed.
"What are you doing? Boy."
"If I wasn't in the kitchen, what would you have eaten in the morning?"
After hearing this, Xie Chen froze on the spot.
Although his body was stiff, he slowly turned around and looked at the burly man who appeared behind him.
"You...you are the chef?"
The man turned around, reached for a spoon and turned the casserole on the stove.
"Or are you a chef?"
Now Xie Chen himself was dumbfounded.
[The hotel only provides two employee meals. In addition to lunch and dinner, employees need to go to the kitchen to cook breakfast. 】
This is all part of Rule 2, but now the chef hired by the swimming pool appears in the kitchen at five o'clock in the morning making breakfast.
There are more than one contradiction here. At least the problems that have arisen now are much more troublesome than I thought at the beginning.
The further you get to the back, the more you feel that this second copy is no less good than the first copy.
Xie Chen took a step back gently, then said: "That's nothing, I'm just a little confused when I first came here."
The man who was a cook glanced at Xie Chen from the corner of his eye, twisted his neck and said, "Then you have to get familiar with it, otherwise I won't care if you're hungry."
"Don't blame me. It's a shabby swimming pool like ours. It's pretty good if it can afford the daily expenses."
Xie Chen's pupils shrank slightly.
Finally someone said something bad about this swimming pool.
I absolutely cannot miss this opportunity.
So he couldn't wait to ask: "Why do you say that?"
The cook shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Why do you ask so many questions? You can't eat anything if you ask."
"Anyway, you probably won't be able to work for long. You can just hang out for a day."
Just as Xie Chen was about to ask more questions, he was interrupted by Luo Xi behind him.
"Fat cook, why are you here so early today?"
"Is your wife not at home today?"
Xie Chen immediately set his sights on the cook, who had nothing to do with being fat.
His movements were slightly stiff, and then he looked nonchalant.
"Who knows where she went? She probably took my son out again."
After hearing this, Xie Chen felt a little confused.
estimate?
Why use estimates?
Doesn’t he still know about his own wife and son?
Although she had such doubts in her heart, Xie Chen did not ask in the end.
"Fine."
Hearing what the cook said, Luo Xi did not continue to ask any more questions.
"But can you choose a time in the world next time you come?"
"We probably didn't get up until after eleven o'clock."
"The meal was ready after five o'clock. Who would get up at this time to eat?"
The cook strolled and said with care: "It will be nice to heat it up then. Anyway, it will be enough to fill my stomach."
Luo Xi was speechless for a while after hearing this, and muttered something when he turned to go out.
"Cold food tastes terrible. It's like a powder keg. It explodes when I mention my wife."
Although these words were whispered, Xie Chen was relatively close after all, so he could still hear them clearly.
It seems that the relationship between the cook and his wife is indeed not good.
But what are the cognitive differences here?
Why does this cook's attitude towards this swimming pool be completely different from other people's?
Although the employee code does not clearly stipulate other topics that are detrimental to the swimming pool except for one safety measure, can it be believed?
But so far, Xie Chen has only heard these negative remarks about the swimming pool from security guards and chefs.
And among those guests, there were almost no disparaging remarks.
But security guards and chefs are considered employees employed by the swimming pool. If the swimming pool disappears, doesn't it mean they have lost their jobs?
Security guards are restricted by security work rules, so this statement is more radical. He even directly said that the swimming pool will not be open for a long time. Does the chef also have rules related to his status?
Xie Chen is not sure about this, but that doesn't mean there is absolutely no possibility.
Seeing Luo Xi's footsteps spreading farther and farther, Xie Chen just stood there and looked at the chef busy in front of the stove.
The cook also noticed him, but he didn't speak and was busy with his own work.
Seeing him washing and chopping vegetables for a long time, Xie Chen finally asked: "Brother, why do you say our swimming pool won't be open for long?"
The cook was cutting the vegetables on the chopping board and did not stop because of Xie Chen's inquiry.
After a few seconds, he spoke: "Did I say this?"
Seeing his cold attitude, Xie Chen scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"I'm just a little curious. After all, I've only been working here for one day and I don't want to lose my job so soon."
"If what you said is true, brother, I will be ready to change my job."
After making the last cut, he vigorously threw the kitchen knife in his hand on the chopping board. This action was somewhat emotional.
Xie Chen was startled by the movement, saw the cook turn around and glared at him, and spoke quickly.
"What...what's wrong, bro?"
"I'm just telling you, why did you react so badly?"
"snort!"
"It's because of your stupid work attitude that this shabby swimming pool can't continue to operate!"
