chapter 12

On Friday, Nana was later than everyone’s expectations, finally.

Momo thought that the campus dinner would only be held in the gymnasium or conference hall. She didn’t expect the organizers to choose the abandoned backyard in the school. You know that there is only one small pool that never flows, and a lawn that was overgrown by weeds, and a chapel with a cross which seemed that it had no use for. It was commonly housed with signs of human habitation.

However, artistic people were really displaying elegance and fanaticism. It took only five days, and they built a world of ice and snow with amazing speed and concept. The dome castle was made of ice and the sky loft made of snow. The frosted white colored marble makes the crystal clear and snow-white interweave. The chapel is painted with the scene of Greek Mythology by students of the art department, the gray colored wall seems to give its historical persuasion; occasionally, the blue colored light makes people have an illusion that they are not in the world. Even the small pool that has never flowed, felt like a depression. it is like the epitome of the sea, adding the charm of the night sky, allowing Momo who lacked environmental awareness, to finally realize the charm of art.

Perhaps the pursuit of beauty and a good personality is the rule of this art school. The organizers did not even ask the students to wear uniforms. They simply asked for a white dress and they even distributed red embroideries to them. The rose’s square scarf is worn by everyone for identification during service.

Momo pulled at the long skirt on her body, a thin layer of ice and snow covered it, but she didn’t feel cold at all. Na Ze did not lie to her. As she thought of it, she couldn’t help but sigh. She didn’t want to let Na Ze know she was working. So, this week, she made the excuse to attend tonight’s gala dinner to slip out of the house, even mentioning going with Mirna. When she went out at night, Na Ze did not ask anything, only faintly said that the weather in London at night was changeable, and let her put on this special textured dress before going out, leaving Momo dumbfounded on the spot.

I really am an idiot! Momo wailed in her heart, thinking about Na Ze not being human. If he wants to know something, she won’t be able to hide it. However, in fact, the problem is not very serious. The courageous Momo comforts herself in her heart. Anyway, the main focus is not on hiding the fact that she was working, but to buy gifts for him. Therefore, this action is not a failure.

The more she thought, the more reasonable Momo thought she was. She nodded heavily, swaying up towards the sky. Resurge, resurge!

“This classmate, do you still have any opinions?” The teacher who was doing etiquette guidance with the waiters asked with a friendly look from the front.

“No, no…” Momo, who returned from her fantasy world, bowed her head in embarrassment.

“Chinese girls are always so cute,” the teacher apparently misunderstood Momo’s shame. “If you have a problem, you can ask right now, don’t be nervous.”

Any questions are ok? Momo, who wanted to shake her head again, suddenly changed her mind. “Will the guests give us a tip today?”

There were sounds of snickering around, and Mirna tugged her sleeves at the side. Momo scratched her head and looked around. Still, she didn’t know the answer, and turned to the teacher, her eyes filled with innocence. The teacher had to answer. “Today, the guests are of the upper class. If they appreciate your service, of course.”

Momo innocently listened to her what she said, and her smile lifted up into a crescent moon. Initially, the teacher who wanted to continue to say something about the principle was also unable to bear the sight of her delicate attitude. She still likes this student very much, with good looks, good grades and obedience are rare in the era of pursuing a good personality. Coupled with the family’s history, the teacher who studies jewelry design is a layman, Momo’s clothes are very simple in style but the materials have never been seen. The thread used to fix the squares on the neck is also clear from the Belgian alva company. The green “color” diamond in the middle of the light is rare. Such a student who was willing to come out to work, believing that knowing how to make money is more important than the money itself!

Is this really the case?!

Momo used actions to prove how much she care s about the money itself! For an entire hour, she couldn’t care how many high-heeled shoes she wore for the first time. She was very self-righteous and very professional. She was cute and hopeful. Many elderly guests who saw such a straightforward and peculiar school girl, smiled and put some money on her tray. Guests who did not bring any cash also put other things, such as pens or crystal cufflinks, but these were all returned by Momo with smiles, and rebutting with saying that the items were too expensive and she could not accept them. But in her mind, she has a lot of those things in her house, what she needed was money instead! The consequence was that even guests have borrowed money to give her a tip!

From the beginning to the end of the shift, Mirna finally got to her shift time. She immediately dragged Momo in excitement to the service area. God, this girl is really crazy about getting money, making her partner embarrassed.

“Oh, Mirna, please slow down! Why are you going so fast? I just saw a guest waving at us!” Now in Momo’s eyes, all the guests were equal to money.

“Please, you should be the one giving me some of that!” Mirna felt that she was going crazy, and she didn’t think Momo loved money so much. Those handsome guys were chasing her with a lot of money, she didn’t even shrug them away and didn’t even care. Is it because the money is too little?!

Mirna, you guessed it. God replied, but it is clear that Momo and the little devil who is a vampire are not under his control, so he can’t help.

“What’s wrong with me?” Momo was innocent.

“How can you…how can you collect so many tips!” Mirna is already immune to her face because Momo is putting this face no matter what she does, there’s a phrase which describes that, “You! If you look innocent, it doesn’t mean you are ignorant. “Darn you, Momo. You’re pretending again…do you think her Chinese song singing has been a waste?!”

Sure enough…seeing this trick, Momo began to put the facts into reasoning. “The teacher mentioned that if the guests gave us their tips with their own initiation, we can accept it. You also saw it, they gave it to me…I did not ask them to!”

Mirna couldn’t lift it up in one breath. “Why don’t you write “I want money” all over your body! If you have the guts, you would have earned a fortune!”

At first glance, she could tell she has never raised a dog. Momo, who has been keeping stray dogs in an orphanage…retorted in her heart. The ultimate killing technique for dogs is actually biting the tail and playing around in circles! However, she did not dare to debate this issue with the angry Mirna. The most important thing now is to accompany a smiley face. “Mirna, don’t be angry! We work to make money, and the guests are not disgusted. It should be okay. Besides, we will be earning more this time. You should not work before the exam so that you can have time to do more revision, right?”

Looking at Mirna who looked convinced, her temper lowered. Actually Momo was not lacking money for herself, she usually pretended to help herself and was able to understand the feelings of others. Even just between partners, Momo also walked in front to take the initiative to greet, get a tip but still, splitting the bill into half. Mirna felt relieved, she herself emphasizes the so-called self-esteem. “Momo, thank you!”

She was just yelling at her and now, she says thank you? ! Looking at Mirna, who was sincere and felt touched, Momo touched the bridge of her nose gently with a linear thinking, dividing this deep problem into the subtleties of the cultural differences between the East and the West. “It’s nothing, we Chinese from childhood have to learn from Lei Feng!”
