Chapter 23: The Gold-Swilling Cave

Su Baili waved her hand, "No need, Assistant Chen and I can go in together, you go ahead."

"Okay, okay, take care." The manager nodded hurriedly.

Su Baili asked as she walked: "Is my brother still talking to someone?"

"Yes, I just went in a short while ago. Miss, are you hungry? Do you want to go to the gentleman's private room to eat something first? Maybe after you finish your meal, the gentleman will have finished the discussion."

"No, I'll wait for him to eat together." Su Baili shook her head and showed a cunning smile, "But you can go have some ice cream first, Lanting's ice cream is also good, but you are not allowed to tell my brother."

"Okay, I won't tell you. I'll tell someone to send you an ice cream in the private room." Assistant Chen smiled and nodded at her.

Only after they had completely walked away did the manager dare to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and then he glared fiercely at the doormen standing at the door.

"Everyone, remember Miss Su's face. When someone comes next time, please invite them in respectfully. Do you understand?"

"Got it." The doorman asked with lingering fear: "Manager, who is this Miss Su?"

The manager glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about. You're lucky this time. You met someone with a bad temper. You don't even know how you died this time."

After hearing this, the doorman shrank his neck in fear, but at the same time he felt somewhat grateful to Su Baili for her easy-going manner.

He knew that if Miss Su hadn't said that, he would have packed up and left by now.

Maybe it's not as simple as just getting out. Lanting is, after all, a place of entertainment and debauchery, and it's not as simple as it seems.

Of course, these are not things that a little Karami like him could know.

But he just needs to know that Lanting is not a place where ordinary people can come in to work. First of all, you have to be lucky enough. After all, working here is both profitable and prestigious. If he loses this job, he dares to guarantee that with his ability, he will never find such a good job again.

Fortunately, fortunately...

It’s true that good-looking people have hearts like fairies.

If what happened just now had happened to him, he would have been furious and ashamed.

The doorman couldn't help but sighed softly: "Miss Su is such a nice person..."

grateful.

The sharp-eared manager heard this and looked over immediately. The doorman continued to shrink his head in fear, but the expected scolding did not come out. Instead, he also agreed and sighed: "Yes, it was almost the same. Lanting was not saved..."

The profound meaning of this sentence made the doormen's eyes widen instantly.

My goodness, who is this Miss Su?

Afraid and trembling.

Qi Shenzhi had a private room reserved for his use in Lanting for many years. Even if he didn't come, no one dared to touch this room.

The reason why he came to Lanting today was that the son of a friend of the old man came to him for help, and for the sake of the old man, this meeting was made possible.

Since someone else was hosting the party, they naturally would not use Qi Shenzhi's private room, so the ordinary private room he went to was a bit shabby compared to his own room.

Qi Shenzhi frowned the moment he stepped into the box today.

Similarly, since he had come to Lanting, his childhood friend Qin Zihe, the owner of Lanting, naturally followed him.

Qin Zihe looked at the beauties in the box and laughed playfully in his heart. He thought that this guy probably didn't find out enough about Shen Zhi's preferences.

Is this crazy?

I hope this boss can be more sensible later, otherwise he will not only fail to ask for help today, but also get himself into trouble.

Qi Shenzhi is a germaphobe. Even though he was wearing black gloves, he was too lazy to shake hands with the person who stood up with a smile on his face.

Fortunately, he had the capital. The person opposite him withdrew his hand awkwardly, but did not dare to get angry at all. Instead, he carefully asked him to sit down.

Qi Shenzhi ignored this group of beautiful girls and walked straight to the empty sofa at the back and sat down.

Qin Zihe smiled and greeted him, "Boss Jin, Shen Zhi and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I shamelessly came over to chat with you. I hope this won't disturb your fun."

"No, no, it's a great honor for me to have you here."

Jin Qiong's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. As the boss of Lanting, even if Qin Zihe did not have as terrifying power as Mr. Qi, he was definitely someone he could not afford to offend.

It is a great honor to have such a person willing to discuss things with me.

You have to know that the reason why he was able to meet Mr. Qi at Lanting this time was that he begged for an admission ticket.

And this gentleman is the boss of Lanting. If I can take advantage of this opportunity to establish a good relationship with him, maybe I will have a chance to get a membership card. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

"That's good." Qin Zihe had already sat down, ready to watch the exciting show that was about to happen.

When Jin Qiong saw that Qi Shenzhi didn't even bother to look at the people around him, she knew that he had no interest in the trainees he brought with him.

Yes, these people are indeed a little bland, but they are clean.

Fortunately, he brought a trump card with him. Tang Manni was really something. What day was it today? She didn't even check the time and dared to be late.

I must make her look good when I get back.

But before that, he should first calm Mr. Qi down.

Jin Qiong walked over and handed over a cigarette with both hands. After Qi Shenzhi took it, he leaned over to help light it.

Qi Shenzhi waved his hand lacking interest and just held the cigarette between his fingers without lighting it.

"I'll give you ten minutes. Just tell me what you want to say."

This scene was honestly quite awkward. He didn't even want to give Jin Qiong the courtesy of lighting a cigarette for him.

A group of trainees looked at each other, somewhat frightened.

What kind of person is the one that Mr. Jin brought them to meet today? It seems that he doesn't take their boss seriously at all. You know, their boss is also a giant in the entertainment industry. To be honest, it's rare to see him being so humble...

The young trainees were afraid of saying or doing something wrong, so they all sat together obediently and acted like quails. No one dared to be the first to step out.

Jin Qiong smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Qi, it's like this. You know I run an entertainment company. Recently, the policies above have changed, and several of our dramas have been put on hold. They are all big productions, and I don't know how much effort and money I have spent. I really have no other choice, so I came to you for help."

If these dramas can no longer be broadcast, the liquidated damages from advertisers will be enough to bring their company to its knees.

He only played the friendship card of his grandfather when it was absolutely necessary, and only asked Mr. Qi to help him out of the kindness of the older generation.

Qi Shenzhi's eagle-like eyes scanned him up and down, and a fierce light flashed under his eyebrows, "Oh? You don't think I'm doing charity, do you? Why should I help you?"

Jin Qiong naturally knew that it was not easy to ask for an audience with Qi Shenzhi under the name of the old man.

He had to come up with something that could impress him. "Mr. Qi, as long as you can help me this time, you will be my Jin Qiong's benefactor. If you need me in the future, just let me know."

This can be considered as owing someone a favor.

Qi Shenzhi sneered, "Favors? Favors are the last thing I need, or do you think you can help me with something?"

What he said was indeed correct. It had always been others who begged Qi Shenzhi for help, but he had never taken the initiative to ask others for help. If he couldn't solve a problem himself, it could be said that no one in the world could help him solve it.

Qi Shenzhi's simple words tore off the shameful veil in an instant.
