The space could only be used for hiding, not for moving locations.
Li Chuchu wanted to ask the system if there were any items for spatial teleportation. The system simply tossed two words at her casually—"dream on".
Dream on then. The system was so stingy.
Li Chuchu was thinking about how to make her escape, but her clothes were like beautiful torture devices. The tight fishtail skirt made it difficult for her to move.
The makeup artist saw the new girl fidgeting restlessly in front of the dressing mirror. She walked over and patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to be still. "Don't move around. Later, you'll follow Nightingale to the private room. Be careful in your performance. Watch how others talk and handle things, and how they amuse those big shots. Learn from them."
The girl named Nightingale immediately looked unhappy. "Sister Chun, why do I have to take her with me? I don't want to. You should let her follow Qianhui."
She didn't have many clients to begin with. If she had to take this beautiful new girl along, some of her resources would surely be taken away.
The makeup artist got impatient. "Come on! This is how I've arranged it. If you have any objections, go talk to Consul Wang. Otherwise, just keep your mouth shut!"
Nightingale seemed afraid to offend her, so she could only reluctantly shut up.
Li Chuchu came to an interesting conclusion in her mind: The makeup artist seemed to have a rather high status here. She was more like a manager than a makeup artist.
After a while, someone outside said the guests had arrived.
Nightingale finished her makeup.
She sashayed out of the door. As she passed by Li Chuchu's seat, she gave her a disdainful look. "Newcomer, hurry up and follow. No one will wait for you later."
If it weren't for Sister Chun's order, she wouldn't have wanted to take this deadweight with her.
Being arranged so clearly, Li Chuchu couldn't even pretend to be a wallflower. She had to get up and follow Nightingale out.
They walked one in front of the other in the long corridor. The corridor in front of them was straight and its end was in sight. Its ceiling was in an arched shape. Looking up, one could see all kinds of birds, flowers, and patterns of Western deities carved on the dome.
The window glasses on both sides were in colorful enamel colors. To cater to the tastes of the rich, the decoration materials were specially imported from abroad.
Everything here was extremely luxurious, but the color tone was rather dark. Besides being steady and solemn, it had an additional oppressive hue.
Nightingale was wearing a close - fitting sleeveless lilac cheongsam, with a layer of gossamer like colorful clouds and mist on her arm. Just like her name, she was like a beautiful bird caged in a delicate birdcage.
The rooms had good sound insulation. Along the way, one could hardly hear a single sound from inside the rooms.
Nightingale glanced at Li Chuchu's unsophisticated look, with the word "contempt" clearly written on her face.
"Later, you just stand to the side as much as possible. Don't try to show off on your first day. These are all big shots here. Don't cause any trouble and try not to draw others' attention. If a guest asks you to drink, you can say you don't know how to drink. I'll cover for you. But if you're unlucky and meet an unreasonable guest, you'll have to drink one or two glasses even if you don't know how."
Although she didn't want to deal with Li Chuchu, there were some things she had to explain. Otherwise, if she offended a VIP, she would be implicated too.
Her voice was nice. Even her mean words sounded like the gentle chirping of a bird when coming out of her mouth. No wonder she was named Nightingale.
Li Chuchu nodded repeatedly. "I know, Sister Nightingale."
This call of "Sister Nightingale" was sincere, and Nightingale felt a bit more comfortable. This new girl seemed quite sensible.
"I've told you everything. Be smart later."
Li Chuchu nodded.
Nightingale stopped in front of a room and motioned for Li Chuchu to follow her in.
The light in the room was rather dim.
Li Chuchu couldn't see the faces of the people sitting on the sofa clearly. She only smelled a pungent smell of a mixture of tobacco and alcohol in the air.
She kept her head down as much as possible and even deliberately lowered her breathing.
Nightingale suddenly threw herself on the sofa coquettishly. "General Manager Yang, you haven't come to see me for days. I thought you were about to forget me～"
"My little sweetheart, I could forget anyone but you. Didn't I come to find you first as soon as I was done with my business? Go and get a few bottles of good wine. I'll have a new friend coming later. You go and call one of your sisters over. She has to be pretty. I'm going to have a good drink later."
"Don't worry. Sister Chun knew you were having a friend come today, so she specifically told me to bring a new girl over. She's very pretty. She definitely won't let you down, General Manager Yang."
Li Chuchu thought to herself: Didn't she just say I could just watch today? Oh no, it seems they're after me now.
Especially when she saw General Manager Yang's greasy hand touch Nightingale's bare arm a couple of times, and Nightingale even coquettishly let out a couple of cries in cooperation. Just thinking about having to be all lovey - dovey with a middle - aged greasy uncle later, Li Chuchu felt like her skin was crawling.
No, maybe she could find an opportunity to pee and then hide in the space?
While Li Chuchu was thinking about this, the atmosphere on the other side suddenly changed.
When General Manager Yang's hand touched a certain sensitive area, Nightingale quietly blocked it. Then General Manager Yang seemed to be in a bad mood.
He didn't say a word and just had a cold look on his face.
Nightingale knew she had offended General Manager Yang, so she took the initiative to ease the atmosphere. "General Manager Yang, I've learned a new song recently. I haven't performed it on stage yet. Let me sing it for you to liven things up."
Nightingale's voice was really nice.
It was melodious and very moving.
Li Chuchu was standing in the dark, anxious about how to escape while silently listening. She thought that if Nightingale were in ancient times, she could at least be a famous actress in the opera industry.
However, General Manager Yang's expression didn't improve at all.
He pointed at the wine on the table, signaling Nightingale to fill it up.
"Drink three glasses first."
Nightingale's face stiffened for a moment, then she forced a smile while pouring the wine. "General Manager Yang, is there something bothering you today? Why don't you tell me?"
General Manager Yang still didn't show any reaction. He lit a cigarette with an imported lighter. "Nightingale, I've spent no less than five or eight thousand on you, right?"
Nightingale knew that General Manager Yang was dissatisfied with her. This drinking session was unavoidable. She forced a smile. "Yes, thank you for your liking, General Manager Yang. Nightingale will drink to her heart's content with you today."
She picked up the glass and gulped it down.
In the blink of an eye, three glasses were gone,
and she was already a bit dazed.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside. "General Manager Yang, that gentleman is coming up."
General Manager Yang immediately propped himself up from the sofa. "Let him in."
Li Chuchu suddenly turned around. So soon!
Nightingale sat on the seat and let out a sigh of relief. She had lost face in front of Li Chuchu, so she didn't really want to talk to her now. But she frowned slightly. After all, she was afraid that Li Chuchu would suffer. So she gave Li Chuchu a look, signaling her to watch her step and be observant when serving the guests later.
The door was wide open. The steady footsteps from outside were getting closer and closer.
Li Chuchu didn't have the time to catch Nightingale's look. She had already started thinking about the feasibility of just dashing into the space right now.
