When he came out of the changing room again, the homeless man who used to reek of the wasteland had been completely transformed into a refreshing young man full of youthful energy.

Xiao Ni was wearing the clothes that Mark had temporarily lent him.

A loose white shirt draped over his slender frame, the slightly open collar "inadvertently" revealing his delicate collarbone. A thin silver chain hung quietly between the collars, shimmering with a soft sheen. The trousers were so wide they almost touched the ground, and the denim fabric featured distressed details.

The boy's appearance surprised even Mark, who had seen countless people.

His fair face had a mole on his nose, the corner of his eye, and his chin, which added a unique charm to his face, making him unforgettable.

The boy even copied Mark's makeup, making his features appear more defined and three-dimensional.

Mark looked at the boy, a hint of unexpected admiration flashing in his eyes.

He whistled and laughed, "Clothes really do make the man, and you really do have something special when you dress up! No wonder you're the boss, you have a good eye for people!"

Xiao Ni scratched his head sheepishly, a blush creeping onto his face. He lowered his head slightly, stiffly adjusting his collar, trying to raise it a little higher, clearly uncomfortable with the somewhat revealing outfit.

Mark put his arm around him and laughed heartily, "Don't be nervous, this is the kind of feeling you're going to have, like a pipa player half-hidden behind a curtain. You'll get used to it."

Xiao Ni looked up at Mark, his eyes sparkling with admiration for his senior.

He nodded solemnly, and asked in a slightly hesitant voice, "Brother Ma, what should I do next?"

Mark chuckled. "Just call me Mark, that's my English name."

Xiao Ni quickly changed his tune.

Then, he looked at the boy, pondered for a moment, and said, "First of all, you have to get rid of this awkwardness in you and not show any fear."

As he spoke, he personally instructed Xiao Ni on "business skills": how to flirt with customers, how to sell subtly, and how to showcase her unique charm...

Mark truly lived up to his reputation as the top host at the "Drunken Bar"; every movement he made was so natural and fluid, every glance brimming with charm and confidence. If a wealthy woman were standing opposite him, Mark could easily win her over with just a few words.

Every time Xiao Ni performs a movement according to Mark's instructions, Mark can always pinpoint areas for improvement.

And Xiao Ni did not disappoint him; he learned everything very quickly.

After two days of theoretical and practical instruction, Mark said to Xiao Ni, "You'll be working today, and I'll be there to guide you."

The nervousness and naivety in Xiao Ni's eyes had vanished. He confidently put his arm around Mark's shoulder and said with a smile, "Mark, don't worry. I promise I won't let you down, my top mentor."

“You little brat, you have no manners,” Mark punched him on the shoulder, then said, “With your looks, you’ll probably be the top star soon.”

This wasn't the first time Mark had said something like this; his tone was calm, without any jealousy or resentment, as if he were simply stating a fact.

Xiao Ni paused for a moment, then composed herself and looked directly into Mark's eyes, saying, "Don't be so pessimistic. When it comes to seduction, I'm still far behind you."

Mark was touched by Xiao Ni's frankness, but he seemed to have something else to say, yet he hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Ni laughed and punched Mark in return, saying, "Mark, just say what you want to say. Do we have to beat around the bush like this?"

Mark glanced around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before speaking in a low voice: "Little Ni, I haven't asked yet, but what is your relationship with Jiulong?"

The two of them had been spending the last two days together. Although they were getting along very well, Mark suspected that Xiao Ni's identity was unclear and he still had a few questions in his mind that he hadn't asked.

Xiao Ni was slightly taken aback after hearing this, then gave a strange look. "You don't think I'm the boss...?"

Mark rolled his eyes. "We all know our boss is attracted to women, what are you thinking?"

Xiao Ni chuckled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just passed a message to the boss. Maybe he thinks I'm clever?"

Mark remained noncommittal, but upon reflection, the boy probably wasn't lying. After all, if he were truly related to Jiulong, he wouldn't have been given such a job.

He patted Xiao Ni on the shoulder and asked meaningfully, "Xiao Ni, what is your dream?"

Xiao Ni had an inspiring expression on her face, "I want to become a top star like you!"

Mark pursed his lips and said earnestly, "If you want to stay comfortably in the red-light district forever, listen to me, you can actually choose to go to another department."

"Other departments?" Xiao Ni looked confused.

Mark: "Finance, HR, administration... even in the red-light district, there are plenty of options. Since you've helped the boss, find some time to talk to him; he won't refuse. Actually, it's best not to stay in the red-light district..."

Xiao Ni laughed and said, "Are you kidding me again? Don't you want me to stay in 'Drunken Bar'?"

Mark sighed and said helplessly, "Oh well, just pretend you didn't hear me. Maybe you'll understand in time."

Mark didn't continue the topic.

He led Xiao Ni to the outside of a VIP room.

I quietly observed the scene inside the room through the transparent glass window.

The atmosphere inside the private room was lively and noisy. Several women dressed in brightly colored clothes sat on the sofa.

Beside them sat several male models working very hard.

A slender male model held one of the women's hands, singing a love song together, their eyes gazing deeply into each other's eyes. Another male model with well-developed pectoral muscles was busy pouring drinks for the women, then personally bringing the glasses to their lips; yet another male model pulled a woman into his arms, whispering secrets in her ear, eliciting giggles from the woman in his arms.

Mark explained to Little Ni, "Can you tell who they are?"

Xiao Ni's gaze swept over them, from their hands to their shoes, and she made a judgment in her mind, but she still pretended not to know and shook her head.

Mark grinned smugly. "You still have a lot to learn, kid. They work for some big shots in Red Heart City. Although they are also undocumented vagrants, their standard of living is much higher than ours."

Xiao Ni nodded as if he suddenly understood.

Mark continued, "These guys usually come here to spend money after work; they're regulars at this 'drunk bar.' Your task today is to take down all these guys inside, how about it?"

"Um!"

The boy answered.

The two then went into the room together.
