"So, in your eyes, I really am beyond redemption." Wang Zheng never expected to receive such a high evaluation.
"It was just a joke among the Liu Bosis. Shall we find somewhere to have a drink" Chu Zhaonan extended an invitation.
"Where else Just your bar will do," said Wang Zheng, pulling Han Xingye up from her seat.
“Then let me take care of it.” Since Chu Zhaonan had already shown himself, he naturally wanted to be a good host.
Situated near the university district, Tianye Bar was quite popular. Most customers were male and female students who would often come here after being exposed to the strange urban landscape during their adolescence, releasing their excess energy in bars and nightclubs.
"What would you like to drink" Chu Zhaonan said: "I have a new female bartender who is excellent. Do you want to try her 'Fiery Red Lips' It's quite an intense cocktail."
“You scared me there for a moment, ‘fiery red lips’— I thought you wanted me to kiss her,” Wang Zheng said with a laugh: “I'll just have some juice. Non-alcoholic kind.”
"What would Comrade Han Xingye like" Chu Zhaonan knew that Han Xingye had been serving in Ningxia and thus called her "Comrade."
“Yogurt, please,” she replied.
“Not drinking at a bar You two really are a pair.” Chu Zhaonan signaled to the waiter: “One yogurt, one juice, and one Fiery Red Lips.”
"Of course we are," said Han Xingye, wrapping her arm around Wang Zheng's again. This girl had been rather fond of this action lately.
"Get up, don't always take advantage of me," Wang Zheng wanted to break free; he really couldn't figure out what the little deviless Han Xingye was planning.
Chu Zhaonan sized them up and smiled without saying anything.
Sitting in a corner on the second floor of the bar, overlooking the men and women dancing below in the dance floor, Wang Zheng couldn't help but感慨:"Young people's lives are truly豐富多彩。
"Do you want to go down and dance for a while, Young Master Wang" Chu Zhaonan smiled.
"No thanks, my old bones can't twist anymore," Wang Zheng waved his hand.
"Right, Big Young Master Chu, I haven’t asked why you’re taking such a huge risk and spending so much to set up this underground black boxing ring in the capital" The light from the lamps made Wang Zheng's face alternately bright and dim as he asked.
"To release excessive energy and deal with unknown pressures," Chu Zhaonan said.
Wang Zheng nodded, immediately understanding.
"In fact, in our circle, there are always hardships and heartaches that outsiders don't perceive. To them, we're wealthy, driving fancy cars, dating beautiful women, but they don’t know the pressure we bear is proportional to these things." Chu Zhaonan smiled bitterly: "Sometimes being born into a powerful family isn’t all benefits; one not only has to defend against obvious attacks from outside, but also constantly guard against hidden threats within the family."
"Oh" Wang Zheng heard something profound in Chu Zhaonan's words and couldn't help asking: "So, Big Young Master Chu, have you encountered a棘手的事情了嗎?
"It’s nothing really, I can handle it myself," Chu Zhaonan smiled.
"Alright then. For the sake of all the money you gave me today, if you need anything just let me know." Seeing that Chu Zhaonan didn’t want to talk about it, Wang Zheng didn’t ask further but made a mental note.
"Sometimes, I wish I could be like the young people from ordinary families, find a stable job, marry a gentle and virtuous wife, buy groceries after work, cook dinner, watch TV in the evening—living a peaceful life wouldn't be bad at all." Chu Zhaonan sipped his fire-red liquor, which had a spicy taste with a hint of softness, quite intriguing and invigorating.
Wang Zheng nodded, agreeing with Chu Zhaonan's words. Everyone has their own brilliance, but behind that brilliance lies unknown hardships and worries. However, people often only see the bright side and ignore the effort put in behind it.
"So you set up a black-market boxing ring to relieve your frustrations"
"I guess so," Chu Zhaonan said with a smile. "To be honest, no man dislikes gambling; they just have different ways of doing it. I like the thrill and the feeling of winning money, so I place bets on every match except for yours."
"Big Young Master Chu, do you have someone you fancy" Wang Zheng suddenly asked. "From what you said earlier, it seems like you're about to fall in love."
Chu Zhaonan laughed heartily: "Can people like us have the freedom to date as we please"
"If you want it, you can make it happen," Wang Zheng seemed to be consoling Chu Zhaonan and also encouraging himself. "By utilizing subjective initiative well, one can overcome anything."
Chu Zhaonan looked deeply at Wang Zheng before smiling and gesturing for his bodyguard, Zhifengqian, to come over. He said: "Tell Xiaojuan to stop what she's doing and come here for a while."
Zhifengqian nodded and brought back a young girl wearing a white shirt with a black vest.
The girl looked around twenty-four or five, had her hair in a ponytail, appeared very capable, was rather good-looking, with gentle eyes. She didn't wear heavy makeup like the women from nightclubs but almost wore no makeup at all—she was the kind of girl who made others feel comfortable just by looking at her.
From her attire, she seemed to be a staff member of this Tien Bar.
"You're here. Why didn't you tell me beforehand" Seeing Chu Zhaonan, the girl smiled warmly; that gentle expression in her eyes did not escape Wang Zheng's notice.
Looking at these two people, Wang Zheng's lips curled into a slight smile, revealing an amused expression.
"I just came to see you and also brought a friend for you to meet," Chu Zhaonan said: "Wang Zheng, this is Han Xingye, my good friend."
"Nice to meet you," the girl smiled in greeting.
"Come on, let me introduce her. This is Xiao Juan, the star bartender at Tianye Bar. They say she was poached by the bar's owner. Since Xiao Juan joined, the bar’s business has become even more booming. Many people come just for her."
Wang Zheng looked puzzled.
As Chu Zhaonan spoke, he gave Wang Zheng a subtle glance, indicating that he shouldn't reveal his identity.
Wang Zheng nodded, finding the situation more intriguing.
"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as that. Zhaonan is just praising me too much," Xiao Juan said with some embarrassment in her smile.
"It doesn't matter, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'," Wang Zheng joked.
Chu Zhaonan laughed out loud when he heard this, while Xiao Juan blushed slightly but had a hint of sweetness in her eyes.
"Zhaonan, I can't stay here for too long. I'm afraid the customers will get impatient waiting for me. If the manager finds out I’m not around, they might dock my pay," Xiao Juan said.
“No worries, just sit back and relax. Tonight, the manager won’t dare give you any trouble,” Wang Zheng winked at Chu Zhaonan as he spoke. the young lady.The little girl didn't expect that the seemingly refined Wang Zheng would say something slightly vulgar. However, she thought hard but still couldn't guess it: "Tell me, I can't figure...
