149: Chapter 149 There are plenty of fish in the sea.

These people sure knew how to have fun. What Chen Hao didn't expect was that Liu Jiayin not only didn't blush but instead kept egging them on, applauding and cheering. She was even more excited than the men.

Actually, Chen Hao didn't know that Liu Jiayin had worked as a hostess before. After taking a wrong turn during college, she continued in that line of work until she was thirty and her looks began to fade. Then, by sheer coincidence, she met Huang Tao.

Manager Huang saw that Liu Jiayin was open-minded, eloquent, and adept at reading people. He gave her a boost, successfully helping Liu Jiayin transition ashore and digging her out to sell houses in his sales office.

Therefore, the relationship between Huang Tao and Liu Jiayin was far from ordinary; it wasn't as simple as it appeared.

Every time Huang Tao had a drinking engagement, he brought Liu Jiayin along. Having her there to back him up saved him a lot of trouble.

At the company, Liu Jiayin was also Huang Tao's informant, helping him keep an eye on the employees. Any employee who became uncontrollable would inevitably be targeted, and if they refused to cooperate, dismissal was certain.

Thus, half the credit for Huang Tao firmly controlling the sales office belonged to Liu Jiayin.

Chen Hao knew none of this. He only perceived that the two had a deep connection and had already set up his defenses against Liu Jiayin.

After three rounds of drinks and five courses of food, as the clinking of glasses ended, Brother Li announced they were going to the third floor to sing karaoke.

And so, everyone went downstairs together to the club's KTV.

Brother Huang's usual routine—the club staff were already well-acquainted with it. Seeing them arrive, they directly led them to the largest room.

It was a VIP suite over 100 square meters, equipped with karaoke, a dance floor, a bar, a stage, and even a stripper pole standing in the middle of the dance area.

"Let's get wild!"

Manager Huang unbuttoned his shirt, his face flushed red, and shouted. The female escorts immediately began serving the party—fetching drinks, selecting songs, and Technician No. 8 was even circling the pole, doing warm-up stretches.

Chen Hao asked curiously,

"You know how to do that too?"

She smiled faintly.

"Doesn't having many skills keep you from being burdened?"

Deafening music erupted—noisy, chaotic, wantonly spending their youth.

The female escorts were already lightly dressed, and during their dancing, they frequently exposed themselves, giving the men present a feast for their eyes.

Chen Hao sat quietly in a corner with a bottle of ice-cold beer, observing.

Liu Jiayin walked over and sat near Chen Hao, saying loudly,

"Why aren't you dancing?"

Chen Hao gave a faint smile.

"I'm not dancing. My eyes feel uncomfortable."

She leaned closer and whispered into Chen Hao's ear,

"I really didn't expect you could refuse 200,000. If it were me, I wouldn't have your courage."

Chen Hao whispered back,

"I wouldn't dare bet my life on a capitalist's kindness. If I took Mr. Sun's money, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know how I died."

"That makes sense."

She clinked glasses with Chen Hao and leaned close to his ear again,

"How was it? Did you have fun today?"

"Fun."

She gave a mischievous smile, winking and saying,

"Not entirely. It's not over yet; there's even more fun to come."

Chen Hao understood what she meant. As long as he gave a hint or showed any slight inclination, any of the female escorts accompanying the drinks that night could be taken out for private time.

As a former Sales Champion, this wasn't something he hadn't arranged before; he knew the situation well and saw no need to spell it out.

Just as the two were whispering, Manager Huang plopped down next to Liu Jiayin and put his arm around her shoulder, questioning them,

"What are you two whispering about?"

"Nothing, Manager Huang, have a drink."

Chen Hao proactively offered a toast.

Huang Tao didn't drink. He motioned for Liu Jiayin to move aside, sat next to Chen Hao, threw an arm around his shoulder, and said,

"Tonight, besides Liu Jiayin, you can pick any other woman."

"No thanks. I still have to go to the hospital tonight to check my eyes."

The moment the eyes were mentioned, Huang Tao seized the topic.

"I've been meaning to ask you, what happened to your eyes? Don't try to fool me with 'eye irritation.' I've seen your condition before; you were sprayed with pepper spray, weren't you?"

Seeing he couldn't hide it, he gave a wry smile.

"Last night, I was sprayed by some jerk."

"A jerk? Could it be your ex-girlfriend, someone related to Wang Kaiming?"

Manager Huang got more animated, grilling Chen Hao with questions.

"Let me tell you, Wang Kaiming is trash. This guy relies on having some seniority and acts like a tyrant in Guangcheng. He's the most arrogant among the Second Generation Rich circles."

"Second Generation Rich circles?"

Chen Hao showed a slight flicker of interest.

"Yeah. Since you're an ordinary person, it's normal you haven't heard of it. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. The Second Generation Rich have their own circles, but ordinary people can't really mix with them."

Chen Hao knew this. He had just managed to infiltrate the Second Generation Rich circle in Guangcheng, but he didn't even know where the door to the Guangcheng Second Generation Rich circle was located.

But it didn't matter. They were all Second Generation Rich. As long as Chen Hao wanted to get in, using the Guangcheng Second Generation Rich as a connection, getting in wouldn't be difficult.

While Chen Hao was distracted, Huang Tao was still holding forth, saying a great deal. Finally, he concluded,

"There's plenty of fish in the sea. With so many beauties tonight, you haven't taken a liking to any of them? Take anyone you want, no need for you to pay."

Huang Tao patted Chen Hao's chest solemnly,

"Consider it your reward."

One had to understand the underlying meaning. While it was called a reward, it could also be interpreted as a pledge of allegiance. If he didn't know what was good for him, he could expect to be isolated.

"But Manager Huang, I still need to go to the hospital for my eyes tonight. Bringing a girl to the hospital doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"

"What's inappropriate about that? The night is long and sleepless. Are you refusing to give me face?"

Since Manager Huang had put it that way, Chen Hao truly couldn't refuse. Helplessly, he could only ask for Technician No. 8 to be taken out.

The club originally had rooms where whatever they wanted to do could be done conveniently.

But Chen Hao insisted on going to the hospital for his eyes, and since they couldn't persuade him otherwise, they had to let him take her with him when leaving the club.

As soon as they stepped out the main door, a wave of heat washed over them. Even though it was late at night, the outdoor temperature was still very high.

Technician No. 8 pulled down the hem of her skirt with one hand while shielding her chest with the other. She hailed a cab on the street and then turned to ask Chen Hao,

"Brother Chen, tell me the address. Where are you taking me?"

"To the hospital."

Technician No. 8 froze, looking blankly at Chen Hao.

She had heard of girls being taken out to hotels, but never to a hospital.

Chen Hao pointed to his eyes.

"I have to work during the day, so I only have time at night for a follow-up check at the hospital."

"Oh, I'll follow your lead."

She didn't argue and proactively opened the taxi door for Chen Hao. After Chen Hao sat in, she sat next to him in the back seat.

"To the hospital."

The taxi started and headed straight for the hospital.

At a window upstairs,

Huang Tao and the other three watched Chen Hao leave, their expressions shifting uncertainly.

"Taozi, do you think this kid will play along?"

Huang Tao sneered coldly.

"If he doesn't know what's good for him, I'll make sure he can't survive in this industry either."

Boss Qiu said with a stern face,

"Speaking of which, is this kid really as capable as you say?"

Huang Tao stated decisively,

"Absolutely certain. I specifically checked him out. He was a top figure in sales in Guangcheng. That former company, Innovation, was full of idiots for pushing someone like him out. It can only be said they made a terrible move."

Brother Li shook his head.

"I've judged countless people; this kid is somewhat unfathomable. I'm afraid, Taozi, you truly can't control him."

Boss Wu said with a grim expression,

"I don't believe anyone would turn down money. We'll take it one step at a time. If he's obedient, he's a good brother. If he's not, I don't mind breaking his third leg!"
