After working at the bar for several days, everything went relatively smoothly.
The bartender noticed she rarely spoke and seemed quiet, so he assigned her to booths with more respectable regulars. If there were ever troublesome customers, Lingling would help her handle them.
They worked late hours and stayed in dorms every day.
Jiang Jiu had visited; the girls' dorms had seven or eight people per room, extremely crowded. Some girls would not stay there at night but leave with customers instead.
Everyone understood why they were leaving but didn't say anything.
Jiang Jiu wasn't used to living in the dorm, so she didn't stay there. She went home after work every day.
Lingling couldn't help asking, "Isn't it tiring to travel back and forth so late?"
Jiang Jiu replied indifferently, "I'm used to it. I have a cat at home. It would be miserable if I didn't go back."
