There was an empty space below the bar, which was just enough for one person to hide.
When Chen Xi heard what she said, he was instantly amused.
So the commotion outside was caused by her?
Qiao Yuan gave Chen Xi a good impression of her. She seemed to be like Lin Xuan in the past, with poor family conditions, which was why she chose to work part-time in her spare time.
Although she deliberately dressed herself up to the nines, she still faintly emitted a reserved and inexperienced aura that belonged to her age.
And this was not something that could be covered up by makeup and dressing up.
"Then you sit here, I'll go out and take a look at the situation."
As he spoke, Chen Xi stood up and gave up his chair.
When Qiao Yuan saw this, she immediately squatted behind his chair, trying to use the bar and chair to hide her figure.
When the little girl saw her sneaking around, she was instantly delighted.
After clapping her hands to signal Chen Xi to put her down, the little girl ran directly in front of Qiao Yuan and said excitedly, "Sister, do you want to play hide and seek? I can play with you! "
Hearing this, Qiao Yuan could not help but be speechless.
After nervously making a 'shh' gesture, she then said softly to the little girl, "Niannian, don't talk to me, just pretend you didn't see me..."
"Hmm?"
The little girl looked at her blankly, as if she did not understand what she meant.
Qiao Yuan thought for a while, then changed her way of saying, "There are bad people coming to catch me, you don't want sister to be caught by bad people, right?"
When she heard this, the little girl finally understood.
Hence, the little girl immediately shook her little head like a rattle-drum, and at the same time, did not forget to say righteously, "Sister, don't be afraid! I'll protect you! "
"Shh... just pretend you didn't see me..."
Seeing that Qiao Yuan was trying to explain the situation to the little girl with a conflicted expression, Chen Xi could not help but smile slightly.
He stood behind the little girl, gently carried her up, then said to her, "Let sister stay here for a while, daddy will bring you out to watch the commotion."
"Oh, okay."
Seeing that Chen Xi had rescued her from the evil clutches of the little fellow, Qiao Yuan immediately let out a sigh of relief. Then, she looked at Chen Xi with a complicated expression and said softly, "Boss, thank you …"
Hearing this, Chen Xi smiled at her and comforted her, "It's uncomfortable to squat. Sit on the chair. If you're really scared, I suggest you call the police now. "
After that, Chen Xi carried the little fellow out of the bar.
Looking at his back as he left, Qiao Yuan looked down at the phone in her hand thoughtfully.
But after a moment of hesitation, she still put the phone in her bag. Then, she hid under the bar counter, trying to hide better.
Outside the teahouse.
When Qin Ruoying saw Chen Xi carrying the little fellow out, she immediately came to his side.
Chen Xi turned his head and saw that not far from the street, there were more than ten or twenty people blocking the door of a bar.
This group of people was not old, about 20 years old. They were very arrogant and their mouths were full of obscenities.
A young man who looked like the person in charge of the bar was surrounded in the middle and seemed to be trying to discuss something with them.
There were more and more people around. Chen Xi listened for a while and got a general idea of the situation.
This was a shill bar.
The so-called shill bar was that, while operating normally, it would arrange some keyboard players to chat with people on the Internet, using dates as bait to lure people to come here to spend money.
If it was a normal customer who came to the bar to spend money, then they would think that the bar was not bad and the cost was not high.
But if it was a customer who was brought here by a bartender, then their spending here would be more than ten times higher.
Shill bars were not only in the form of bars. Many coffee shops, restaurants, gift shops, and even teahouses might be shill bars.
Shill bars had become a complete industry chain, mainly composed of keyboard players, bartenders, and consumption places. Among them, the larger ones might also have a manager.
Keyboard players disguised their information as a young and beautiful woman through social media software such as QQ, WeChat, Momo, Tantun, or dating websites and dating forums, and then seduced some single men or men with bad intentions to come out and meet them.
After the keyboard players chatted with the fat sheep online to a certain extent, the bartenders would come out to meet the customers.
They did not need to be too beautiful, just with good facial features. In fact, they also used the dirty thoughts of some men.
The meeting place was generally near the shill bar. The bartenders themselves were different from what the fat sheep saw on the Internet. Most of the fat sheep would not doubt it, because most of them would be dazzled by this sudden encounter.
After the meeting, the bartenders would first accompany the fat sheep for a walk, and then take the opportunity to say that they were tired and wanted to sit in the shill bar.
Of course, the fat sheep would not refuse. Instead, he looked forward to the bartenders getting drunk …
If the fat sheep had not been dazzled by the encounter, he would look at the price list before the bartenders ordered.
The items in the shill bar were all priced clearly. If the fat sheep thought it was expensive, he could leave at any time.
But if the fat sheep did not even look at the price list and directly wanted to pretend to be rich in front of the bartenders, then it would be embarrassing.
Two drinks and a fruit plate of 388 yuan. This was only the first step, and the price would be lighter. If the fat sheep agreed to let the bartenders order wine, it would be upgraded to the second step. A red wine that cost more than 10 yuan would be sold here for 1,888 yuan and 3,888 yuan.
A black-hearted person could even ask for 8,888 yuan directly.
If the fat sheep refused to pay, then sorry, the shill bar's hatchet man would come out.
It was not a real fight, but a threat. If he did not pay, he would not leave.
A smarter fat sheep would ask to share with the bartenders, only give half of the money, and then call the police afterwards.
However, it was a pity that the industry itself was in a gray area. As long as the boss of the shill bar was smart, even if the fat sheep called the police afterwards, the boss only needed to refund the money, because they did not break the law.
There was a price list on each table. The price was clearly marked, and it was voluntary.
Qiao Yuan was obviously a bartenders.
But what was strange was that the fat sheep were generally spendthrifts who did not have much social experience. This group of young people who blocked the door of the bar and made trouble were not good people at first glance.
To put it bluntly, they were not cut out to be fat sheep.
What the hell was going on here?
Chen Xi held the little fellow outside the teahouse and watched the bustle.
At this time, someone said: "She's in the teahouse over there!"
After the group of people heard this sentence, they immediately rushed in the direction of Chen Xi.
Several guests in the teahouse were still happily watching the bustle, but when they saw the group of people suddenly coming over, they quickly hid to the side.
There was a street outside the teahouse, and across the street was Houhai.
Chen Xi and Qin Ruoying stood side by side at the entrance of the teahouse. After the group of young people came over, they surrounded them.
The little fellow was obviously frightened by their formation, so he immediately shrank back into Chen Xi's arms.
Seeing this, Chen Xi handed the little fellow to Qin Ruoying, and then motioned her to take the child in first.
