In a bar in Jinhai.
Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, while inside, it was as warm as spring.
Xiao Yanzhi sat on the soft leather sofa. His figure was extremely imposing, with handsome and sharp features, exuding an air of nobility from within. However, there was a hint of impatience on his face.
Duan Yibo was different. He was completely at ease in such a setting, shouting, "We won't stop until we're drunk!" and having a great time.
The others also showed respect to Young Master Duan and were enjoying themselves noisily. Only the aloof Xiao Yanzhi seemed out of place.
"A Yan, it's okay for you to be so formal at the company on normal days, but now that we're in a bar, why are you still acting like a monk?" Duan Yibo started to talk nonsense when he got drunk. He put his arm around Xiao Yanzhi's shoulder and asked with a mouthful of alcohol smell, "There's a new batch of girls in the bar recently. Do you want to pick one later?"
"I'll go back first. You guys keep having fun." Xiao Yanzhi brushed away the hand on his shoulder and got up to leave.
The smell of alcohol and the heat in the room mixed together, making it hard to breathe. It felt fresher after he walked out.
It was Xiao Yanzhi's birthday today, and these brothers were here to celebrate it for him.
Although they claimed to be celebrating his birthday, in fact, it was just an excuse to get together, have some drinks, and flirt with girls.
Xiao Yanzhi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lowered his head and pressed the lighter, planning to leave after finishing this cigarette.
Just as he took a puff, he heard the boss scolding a female employee at the corner of the corridor: "Since you're here to earn money to pay off debts, be more humble. Don't think that just because you're a bit good-looking, you can show your temper to the benefactor. Do you know who you offended just now?"
The woman was dressed in black. Her top was a tight halter top, and her bottom was a hip-hugging leather skirt. She had a very charming and heavy makeup on her face, and her hair was in big waves. Her whole temperament was very cold.
"I don't know." She replied calmly, "But he just tried to touch my ass."
"So what if Mr. Nan touched you a couple of times?" The boss was used to such things and just snorted, "Don't say he just touched your ass. Even if he put his hand inside, you have to smile and apologize obediently. Do you understand?"
The woman didn't answer. She just had a cold face.
If one really had to describe her, there was only one word: "cold and charming".
The boss thought she had changed her mind. He patted her on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully, "Jiang Li, don't say Brother Ding didn't show you the way. Mr. Nan told me personally just now that he wants you tonight. Don't be ungrateful."
"Aren't you in great need of money? I heard that your younger brother owes a lot of money. If you put more effort into it tonight and Mr. Nan is happy, won't it be easy for him to help you?"
The woman let out a laugh, a very contemptuous and disdainful sneer, but it was just fleeting, so brief that it seemed like a hallucination.
Because of this laugh, Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at her a second time.
"Then thank you, Brother Ding. You even think of me for such a great thing."
Strangely enough, although her words were flattering, there was not a hint of submission in them.
Xiao Yanzhi glanced over there.
She was indeed a very beautiful woman. Although her heavy makeup made it hard to see her original appearance and the smile on her face was flattering, one could still tell the true nature beneath her disguise.
Arrogant and unyielding.
...
A few minutes later, Xiao Yanzhi finished the cigarette and went back to the private room.
"Didn't you say you were leaving?" When Duan Yibo saw him come in, he immediately rushed over happily, "Not leaving anymore?"
Xiao Yanzhi gave a soft "hmm", "Sit for a while longer."
He couldn't explain why he came back.
It wasn't until the door of the room opened again and a group of women came in one by one, and the woman who had been scolded in the corridor just now was standing at the end of the line that he realized belatedly why he hadn't left.
He wanted to see her again.
"Gentlemen, these are the new girls we just recruited in Jinhai recently."
That "Brother Ding" just now bowed and scraped to the people in the room, "The girls are all free today and have time to accompany the gentlemen."
The women in the room all had sweet smiles and sugary voices, like the flowers in a garden, blooming their beauty and fragrance all the time.
Strangely enough, compared to the other blooming flowers, the one standing at the end seemed uninterested. The smile on her face looked cheap, like the coins used for change in a convenience store.
Xiao Yanzhi's eyes fell directly on the last woman.
As if sensing Xiao Yanzhi's gaze, the woman looked up along his line of sight and met his eyes.
Then, she forced out a deliberately sweet smile, but there seemed to be a layer of frost in her eyes, making her seem aloof and unapproachable.
"Lao Ding, what's this girl's name?" Duan Yibo also noticed that Xiao Yanzhi had been staring at someone. With the intention of being helpful, he asked with a smile, "My friend, who's as hard to impress as an iron tree, must have taken a fancy to her. Introduce her to us?"
"Oh, this young master really has good taste. This is a girl we just recruited at the beginning of this month in Jinhai. Her name is Jiang Li, and she's brand new."
There was a slang term in the industry. "Brand new" meant that the girl was still a virgin and her body was clean.
That is to say, she was still a virgin.
"However, Miss Jiang Li has already been booked by someone today."
Brother Ding spread his hands regretfully, "Mr. Nan next door said he would take her away later. If this young master wants to make an appointment, he may have to wait for the next time."
At that time, Xiao Yanzhi had just started to take over some affairs of the company from Xiao Yuanfeng. Coupled with his low-key behavior, the boss didn't recognize his identity and just regarded him as a good friend of Duan Yibo.
Rather than offending an unknown young master, Brother Ding was more willing to flatter Mr. Nan next door.
Originally, they just came out to have fun and didn't want to argue with others. So Duan Yibo gave up his previous thought and instead persuaded Xiao Yanzhi, "Let's choose another one. We're here to have fun, not to look for trouble."
Jiang Li stood in the middle in her revealing clothes, listening to the people around her discussing who she would be with. Her eyes were very calm, showing no emotion at all.
At this time, Xiao Yanzhi said slowly, "Let her choose."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Brother Ding, "Can I choose?"
"Of course not." Brother Ding answered expressionlessly, then quickly put on a smiling face, "This young master, it's not that I'm not willing to let her go. She's still young and hasn't been trained. She offended Mr. Nan tonight. If she doesn't go and calm him down, my small bar won't be able to do business in the future."
The words were euphemistic, but it was obvious that he didn't intend to let her go.
It was just a small episode. Jiang Li lowered her eyes again in boredom and stood there like a beautiful sculpture.
She had no say in the matter.
It was just a momentary whim. Now, all that little bit of interest had been completely destroyed. Xiao Yanzhi got up, took out a business card, and walked up to Jiang Li.
He was very tall, and his shadow could completely cover her body.
It was like a momentary shelter.
He stuffed the business card into her halter top in a very humiliating way, and by the way, he reached out and wiped off the lipstick on her lips with his fingertips, speaking in a slightly flirtatious tone.
"Think it over carefully. My patience only lasts tonight."
