The four women did not look experienced. Their expressions were somewhat awkward, and they were not dressed as professionally as those who had spent a long time in the trade. Despite that, two of them seemed especially eager, as though they liked the men before them.
Gu Bei beckoned them over, “Come here! This is a new batch. All of them are still untainted!”
His favorite one was Sang Yu, a petite woman with an adorable face and her black hair tied in a ponytail. She had a pair of dark green eyes that made her look sweet and innocent.
After seeing many coquettish women in thick makeup, such a pure-looking girl was refreshing to the eyes.
The very thought of him savoring this woman was enough to trigger a physiological reaction from him.
If it were not for the fact that he wanted to do business with Zong Jinghao, he would not have given her away.
Then he beckoned Sang Yu over, “Come here.”
Sang Yu clutched her dress with sweaty palms and stole glances at Shen Peichuan, who was fiddling with his phone.
After Shen Peichuan was instructed to be on recording duty by Zong Jinghao, he had pretended to be absorbed in his phone. He was not interested in the women here, so he had not looked up at all.
Seeing that Sang Yu stood rooted to the spot, Gu Bei’s face fell, and he commanded coldly, “Sit here.”
He gestured to the seat next to Zong Jinghao.
Sang Yu did not budge, so one of her friends shoved her and hissed, “Go on! He’s the most handsome man in the room! If he likes you, you’ll strike it rich! Everyone here is loaded!”
“What do you mean by this? I thought I was hired as a waitress?” Sang Yu muttered with a quivering voice. The hotel where she had worked as a part-time waitress previously had hired a long-term staff to replace her, so she was out of a job.
The demand for jobs such as handing out flyers come and go. Hence, she did not have a stable source of income. She had only come here because her friend recommended her for a job as a waitress, only to realize what kind of a place this was.
She regretted it, especially after seeing Shen Peichuan here. Initially, she had deeply respected this man and felt that he was a morally upright person who went to her school and passed her money from her mother.
However, if he frequented such a place, he probably wasn’t the good man he appeared to be.
Meanwhile, Zong Jinghao leaned back in his seat. He was in a classic white shirt with a black suit, and his shirt was partially unbuttoned, revealing his slender neck and Adam’s Apple. His eyes narrowed as he inquired, “Mr. Gu, what’s the meaning of this?”
Gu Bei laughed it off and said, “Er, she’s new and doesn’t understand our rules here. Give me three minutes.”
Having said that, he got up and grabbed Sang Yu by the wrist, growling, “Spare me the act! I called you here because I felt that you had the looks. Now serve these men well and I’ll pay you well, or else, I’ll make your life a living hell!”
This commotion seemed to pique Shen Peichuan’s interest. He pulled his eyes away from the phone screen, and when he saw the trembling girl standing by the door, he was stunned.
Following that, Sang Yu was forcibly dragged over by Gu Bei, who smiled at Zong Jinghao. “I’m sorry you had to see that. Well, I guess that’s the charm of someone inexperienced as well.” He chuckled wryly. “Why else would we stay unmarried at our age? We just want to be free to fool around, right?”
Since Zong Jinghao and Lin Xinyan had gotten married in secret, their marriage was not made public. After that, there were rumors that Zong Jinghao had a woman, but they had not held a formal wedding or appeared together in any major events. For a man like Zong Jinghao, it was natural for him to be swarmed by women. As long as he did not announce it publicly, they would assume that he was just toying with her.
The only one the public knew about was his engagement to He Ruilin. However, the engagement was eventually called off. Chen Qing had hoped to marry his daughter to Zong Jinghao, but this plan was kept under wraps. Since the marriage was not solemnized, he did not spread the word. Now that Chen Qing had lost his position and only had a daughter, he was in no position to threaten Zong Jinghao.
His plan to marry his daughter to Zong Jinghao had ended in utter failure as well.
Ever since He Wenhuai learned that Chen Qing manipulated him and even killed his children, there was no way he would let Chen Qing off the hook so easily.
Now that Chen Qing was just an ex-government official, he was powerless to deal with the wrath of the He family.
While the He family had lost power, the Chen family had lost its backer since Chen Qing was no longer a government official. It was difficult to tell who would survive till the very end.
Meanwhile, Gu Bei pushed Sang Yu to Zong Jinghao’s side. Suddenly, Shen Peichuan got up and asked Zong Jinghao, “Can I have this girl instead?”
Su Zhan’s jaw dropped, and his eyes widened in shock. Has this man finally fallen for a woman? Something’s not right, though. He’s seen his fair share of women in the past, so why did he suddenly ask Zong Jinghao for the woman at such a timing? Is there something bewitching in this room?
He took a look around but couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary. After that, he touched Shen Peichuan’s forehead to check for a fever. “You…”
Shen Peichuan slapped his hand aside and scoffed, “Don’t touch me.”
Sang Yu did not move as she felt that Shen Peichuan was not a good person either.
At the same time, Zong Jinghao stared at Shen Peichuan in shock for the same reason as Su Zhan. Why is he acting like he’s seeing a woman for the first time? What’s up with him? Don’t tell me Gu Bei has some wicked scheme in mind…
“I’ve met her before, so I…” Shen Peichuan explained awkwardly.
“Looks like I have a good eye for women after all. To think that even Mr. Shen has his eye on her! Well, since there’s only one of her, could you pick someone else instead? The other three are all still virgins and have good looks as well.” Gu Bei smiled. Looks like this is all Zong Jinghao’s subordinate has got. Just a woman is enough to get him smitten.
“No, it’s rare that Peichuan is interested in someone.” In other words, he was willing to give her up to Shen Peichuan.
Gu Bei did not comment on this. Well, this is between them. Regardless, as long as they’re interested in women, I’ll be able to find an opening to strike with them.
She Peichuan pulled Sang Yu over, but she attempted to break free from his grip. This only made Shen Peichuan tighten his grip as he hissed, “Behave!”
Gu Bei smiled. “Mr. Shen, feel free to use the rooms upstairs.”
Shen Peichuan queried, “Mr. Gu, may I ask if this lass is one of yours?”
“No,” Sang Yu declared before Gu Bei could answer his question.
Gu Bei scorned, “You came looking for a job, so I gave you one. That makes me your employer!”
“We haven’t signed a contract and you haven’t paid me yet, so legally speaking, I’m not your employee!” Sang Yu retorted. She was not a fool, and if she had not been desperate to find a job, she would not have fallen for this trap. At that time, she had not bothered to ask for more details when her friend recommended this job. But when she found out about it, it was already too late.
“In that case, you won’t mind if I take her away, right?”
