The Nightingale watched as General Manager Yang got up to greet someone at the door. She couldn't help but wonder who this important person was that even the usually overbearing General Manager Yang had to treat with courtesy.
The person appeared at the door. He was extremely tall, his head almost touching the top of the doorframe. Standing in front of General Manager Yang, he was almost half a head taller.
"I'm honored to receive your kind invitation, General Manager Yang."
Li Chuchu: !!!
What the hell? I've been working so hard to gather information, while you've come up to the private room on the second floor to have fun with the girls?
Shen Yanshan felt a pair of eyes staring at him in the room. He warily glanced in the direction of the gaze. He thought it was someone sent by General Manager Yang to keep an eye on him, but then he saw... his wife?!
The cold and self - controlled expression on his face cracked bit by bit, showing a look of surprise and disbelief. However, on Shen Yanshan's face, this only manifested as a slight twitch of the corner of his eye and a slightly longer stare at a certain place.
General Manager Yang had been in this circle for so long that he understood what Shen Yanshan meant.
He sneered inwardly.
Just now when they were talking on the first floor, this guy was still pretending to be a noble young master above worldly concerns. Now that he saw a beautiful girl, his true colors were showing.
"This is the girl I've arranged for you. I haven't treated you badly, right! Let me tell you, you won't find a prettier girl anywhere else. She's new here! Come on in and sit down!"
No wonder she's new. She was just a former courtesan an hour ago.
Shen Yanshan sat on the sofa, and General Manager Yang started discussing business cooperation with him.
"The home - appliance business is a big deal now. There are at least eight or nine people I know who want to get a share of this business, but they're all talk and no action. I'll be straight with you. There are very few people in the south who dare to open an electronics factory. You've got some guts."
The Nightingale poured wine into the glasses of General Manager Yang and General Manager Shen. Shen Yanshan smiled and blocked the pour. The Nightingale was embarrassed and had to withdraw her hand reluctantly. Based on her experience in sizing people up, this man definitely wasn't the type to be easily seduced. She might as well hand this mess over to Han Xiang so that she could learn something.
It was necessary for a newcomer like her to get some experience.
General Manager Yang noticed this and was unhappy. If General Manager Shen didn't drink his wine, didn't it mean he was looking down on him?
This Nightingale was supposed to be the top girl on the second floor, but she didn't know any tricks.
He shouted at Li Chuchu behind Shen Yanshan, "Why are you standing there like a wooden stake? Come up and pour wine for General Manager Shen!"
He glared with a rather fierce tone.
Li Chuchu wasn't annoyed when she was called out.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly. Her well - curved figure in the tight dress leaned forward slightly. Her slender fingers, like jade chopsticks, tightly grasped the body of the wine bottle. "General Manager Shen, let me pour you some wine."
Her voice was soft, like a kitten scratching at one's heart.
Shen Yanshan's hand trembled slightly, as if he was on the verge of having Parkinson's.
This time he didn't refuse, and the glass was finally filled to the brim.
General Manager Yang was extremely satisfied when he saw this.
"Even heroes have a weakness for beautiful women. If not, it must be because the beauty isn't beautiful enough. Hahaha..."
The Nightingale looked at Li Chuchu in disbelief.
She stared at her face for a while and finally gave up. Well, although Han Xiang was a newcomer, her face was just too charming.
General Manager Yang had his eye on the factory Shen Yanshan had opened in Ningcheng and wanted to talk to him about cooperation. But Shen Yanshan had other motives. After a few rounds of drinks, he found an opportunity to leave.
He gave Li Chuchu a look and then immediately pretended to be dead drunk. Li Chuchu exaggerated her tone and gently patted Shen Yanshan's arm. "General Manager Shen? General Manager Shen? Can you still get up?"
General Manager Yang was also quite drunk. He was lying sprawled on the sofa and didn't notice what was going on here. He mumbled something, and the words "drink, drink" could still be vaguely heard.
Li Chuchu supported Shen Yanshan's arm. "I'll take General Manager Shen to the toilet."
She was speaking to the Nightingale. Seeing that she didn't respond, she might be half - drunk and not notice them.
Li Chuchu and Shen Yanshan sneaked out of the room.
...
As soon as they got out of the room, Li Chuchu reached out and patted Shen Yanshan's face. "Stop pretending. I've found out that Jiang Wen should be in the alley behind the Dongtai Entertainment City. We should go there quickly before they take her away."
Her voice was urgent and fast. The sharp heels of her high - heels stepped on the soft wool carpet. Li Chuchu was quite anxious now. Any delay might lead to trouble, and it would be best to find the person right away.
Shen Yanshan opened his eyes, which were clear as day, without a trace of drunkenness.
Li Chuchu gave him a speechless look. "Let's find Xiao Liu quickly and then go to the back alley."
"Okay, let's go."
He propped himself up from Li Chuchu's shoulder and took the initiative, encircling her in his arms.
Suddenly, an arm wrapped around her waist.
Li Chuchu was a bit uncomfortable. "What... what are you doing?"
"My wife is dressed so beautifully. I'm afraid if I don't hold you tight, you'll disappear." Shen Yanshan said this blushing and heart - pounding words without batting an eyelid. Li Chuchu glared at him angrily. "It's this critical moment, and you're still not serious."
There was a guard at the door of the second floor. He recognized Li Chuchu as the person brought by the consul today, so he reached out to stop her. "What do you want? If you have nothing to do, stay on the second floor and don't go out."
Li Chuchu said, "This guest is drunk. I need to take him out."
He looked at Li Chuchu suspiciously. "No. This is a rule set by Consul Wang. Or you can talk to Sister Chun."
Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Shen Yanshan took out fifty yuan and stuffed it into the guard's front pocket. He patted the guard's shoulder. "I just want her to take me down. I know your time is precious, and I won't take too long."
The guard took the money,
and his attitude softened.
"No problem. Serving the guests well is our top priority. Han Xiang, you can take him down. Come back quickly so that Sister Chun and the others won't worry."
Li Chuchu quickly nodded. "Thank you, big brother."
...
After going downstairs,
they quickly found the disheveled Xiao Liu in the crowd.
By this time, the banquet performance was in the second half, and the atmosphere on the stage was in full swing. There were several bright red lipstick marks on his clothes, and even on his face. The scene was quite erotic. It seemed that this serious little civil servant was very popular with the girls in this kind of occasion.
Xiao Liu saw them as if he had seen a savior. He crawled and stumbled towards them, gasping for breath. "Comrade Li... I can't do it. I can't find Jiang Wen anywhere. I really can't stay here any longer."
Li Chuchu patted Xiao Liu's shoulder.
"Xiao Liu, you've worked hard. Thanks to you for covering for us. We've found out where Jiang Wen is. Let's go quickly."
Xiao Liu's eyes lit up.
He quickly followed Li Chuchu and Shen Yanshan out.
