Chapter 10: Mr. Lou and Qiao Zhizheng are afraid of ghosts

There is a little secret that no one knows except Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng - they are afraid of ghosts.

Especially the black-haired, white-clothed female ghost in the classic Chinese mansion with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere that was often shown on TV when I was a child.

Even though she has grown from Qiao Zhizheng to Qiao Zheng, she is still afraid.

At this moment, a "female ghost" was standing beside Qiao Zhizheng's bed. Qiao Zheng didn't dare to move. The "female ghost" was completely unaware. With the light coming in from the window, she saw that Qiao Zhizheng had woken up. The female ghost sat down beside Qiao Zhizheng's bed. Seeing that Qiao Zheng didn't resist her approach, Qiao Zhizheng whispered, "Qiao Zheng, are you having a nightmare?"

Qiao Zheng's nightmare disappeared without a trace. Compared to the old events that had long passed, the scene before her was obviously more frightening to her.

When Qiao Zhizheng spoke, she recognized her and knew that she was not a female ghost, so she felt relieved.

In the darkness, Qiao Zheng chuckled softly, her tone more gentle than ever before, "Zhizhi, stand up and take two steps to the side."

Qiao Zhizheng was flattered. Although she didn't understand what Qiao Zheng wanted to do, she still did as she was told.

Qiao Zheng's tone was still as gentle as ever, "Turn around."

Qiao Zhizheng turned around. At the same time, Qiao Zheng behind him turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and half-covered it with his fingertips. The room was dimly lit. This light was enough for Qiao Zhizheng to see the "female ghost" in white clothes with disheveled hair in the mirror in front of him.

Qiao Zhizheng was so frightened that she lost her voice, and kept screaming "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" in her heart. She jumped onto the bed and got into the quilt. Her hands and feet held on to Qiao Zheng tightly like an octopus, and she was trembling.

Qiao Zheng looked at her timid look, feeling very happy. She slowly said, "What's behind you?"

As soon as Qiao Zheng finished speaking, Qiao Zhizheng felt a chill on her back.

Qiao Zhizheng turned over, leaning her back against the bed and facing the ceiling.

Qiao Zheng's voice slowly became vague and unreal, resembling the narration at the beginning of a horror film.

"Once upon a time, there were two good friends who lived in the same dormitory. They were inseparable. One day, one of them went out, and the other went to bed first. After several days, her friend still hadn't returned. She called her friend, and her friend said, 'I've always been with you...'

She thought her friend was just joking, but suddenly one night she heard some movement under the bed. She looked down and met her friend's eyes. Her friend was dead.

The phone rang at this time. She didn't dare to answer it, but the phone was automatically answered. A familiar voice came from the phone -

Good friends, back to back, back to back, so warm..."

Qiao Zhizheng didn't move, but Qiao Zheng knew she was not asleep. A smile of success appeared on Qiao Zheng's face.

After all, when Qiao Zheng first heard this story, she was so scared that she couldn't sleep the whole night.

——Qiao Zhizheng, oh Qiao Zhizheng, yo yo yo, are you scared to death?

Qiao Zheng's original intention was to make Qiao Zhizheng unhappy so that she would be happy, but she never expected that Qiao Zhizheng moved, twisted her body, and dived into Qiao Zheng's arms like a nimble fish.

Qiao Zhizheng's back was pressed against Qiao Zheng's chest. Qiao Zheng's habit was to set the air conditioner to a low temperature and cover herself with a warm and thick quilt, which made her sleep particularly comfortable.

Qiao Zheng had been accustomed to this temperature, but at this moment, a warm body suddenly squeezed into her arms. It had been a long time since anyone had been so close to Qiao Zheng outside of work.

Perhaps it was because people's minds were confused at night and they couldn't think too much, or perhaps it was because she was infected by the emotions in her dream, Qiao Zheng just let Qiao Zhizheng stick to her.

Qiao Zhizheng closed her eyes with peace of mind.

The night is dark and the moonlight is bright. Two lonely souls snuggle up to each other and spend this long and cold night.

Qiao Zhizheng felt that Qiao Zheng's good complexion was like autumn dew, which evaporated and disappeared as soon as the sun came out.

Qiao Zhizheng looked at Qiao Zheng who habitually made a sour face towards him, and hummed and moaned in frustration.

Grandma was old and hard of hearing, so she couldn't hear clearly. Qiao Zheng heard it, but she still didn't tolerate her, "Whose pig is grunting?"

Qiao Zhizheng glared at Qiao Zheng.

Qiao Zheng didn't even look at her.

After breakfast, Qiao Zhizheng changed his shoes and prepared to rush to the crew.

Qiao Zheng walked to the entrance and suddenly said, "Do you know who in the world wants you to live a good life the most?"

Generally speaking, in this world, the people who most want you to live a good life are your parents.

But Qiao Zhizheng, whose situation was clearly unusual, thought about it—

Dad? He jumped off the building.

Mom? She ran away with the money.

Qiao Zhizheng pointed at herself, "Myself?"

Qiao Zheng smiled mysteriously, "No, I'm your biggest creditor."

Qiao Zhizheng stood there in a daze, half understanding what was going on, and then it was like an epiphany.

If a person owes a small amount of money, the creditor will come to collect the debt every now and then. If a person owes a medium amount of money, the creditor will send a special debt collector to the person's house if he cannot collect the debt. If a person owes a large sum of money, the creditor will try every means to make you rich and powerful, and use the resources she has that are suitable for you to push you up.

This was a truth that Qiao Zheng understood only after a long time, but this time it awakened Qiao Zhizheng early.

Qiao Zheng said to herself, "Just consider it as compensation for scaring her last night."

This compensation was obviously like a beacon of light in the dark predicament for Qiao Zhizheng.

Because of Xia Siran's temporary withdrawal, the scenes belonging to Liu Runiang had to be re-arranged in terms of personnel and scene shooting. In the past few days, Qiao Zhizheng almost started intensive shooting every time he went to the set.

The filming of the day was finished at around six or seven in the evening.

It was a dark summer night. Qiao Zhizheng put on a hat, mask and sunglasses and took a car to the largest local bar. The security guard at the door stopped her. Qiao Zhizheng whispered a name and the security guard let her in. As soon as she walked in, she could see the colorful and decadent atmosphere.

A wealthy young woman stuffed a wad of banknotes into the chest of a male model with a very low collar. She patted his face with a hand with long red manicure and said like a dog, "Use this to buy some nice clothes."

The rich lady looked contemptuous, but the male model ignored her and smiled warmly, "Sister, you are so nice~ Thank you~"

Seeing Qiao Zhizheng looking over here, the wealthy young lady took a stack of banknotes from the table and waved them in her hand, "Sister, do you want to play with us? I'll treat you."

Qiao Zhizheng waved her hand and said obediently, "No need, sister, just have fun. I won't disturb you."

Amidst the male model's repetitive sweet words, the rich young lady watched Qiao Zhizheng walk from the first floor to the more private second floor, wondering in her heart which family's daughter she was or which big star came to visit friends. She then watched her walk up to the third floor which was not open to the public, and the security guard on the third floor easily let her in.

The wealthy young lady patted the male model's hand like she was patting a dog, then gave him a look and the male model obediently stepped aside. The wealthy young lady walked to the dance floor and pulled out her bestie who was talking around the beautiful DJ at the sound console, "Do you know what I just saw?"

The good girl waved at the beautiful DJ and asked, "What did you see?"

"Someone went up to the third floor."

“?!”

What’s so great about the third floor?

The most amazing thing is the owner of the bar, Lou Heng. He was unknown for the first thirty years of his life. When he was thirty years old, he suddenly invested all his assets, mortgaged his property, borrowed money and established this bar that only serves women.

Here, you can order any male model you want, and act crazy in public if you want. You can do whatever you want in the bar without any scruples. There will be special female waiters to accompany you, ensuring your safety and meeting all your legal requirements.

If you want an independent space with high privacy, you can recharge and become a higher-level member. The bar will protect your privacy throughout the entire process and solve a series of negative impacts caused by your leaving the bar free of charge.

The only downside is that it's expensive!

You have to pay a high membership fee to enter, become a member, and have free access to the first floor. On this basis, you can pay another large membership fee to upgrade to become a member of the second floor.

This membership fee will be fully refunded to you when you decide to withdraw from the membership after careful consideration.

Are there people who deliberately play tricks on others? They quit and then rejoin, then rejoin and then quit again. Of course, Lou Heng has connections in both the black and white worlds. If you're not a member and you're deliberately looking for trouble, then naturally...

Lou Heng's reputation among men is not very good. They all say that she is too cruel. But she has a very good reputation among women. Many wealthy wives and female celebrities are willing to spend money with her, and the service they receive is something that most bars outside cannot provide.

The bar has nine floors. The first and second floors are entertainment and consumption places. The third floor is Lou Heng’s private area, which is not open to the public without permission. The fourth to sixth floors are temporary rest areas for guests. The seventh and eighth floors are daily training places for employees. The ninth floor is a sunny garden and there is also a helipad for guests to park their aircraft.

When Qiao Zhizheng entered the third floor, someone nodded at her at the study door. Qiao Zhizheng took off her mask, hat and sunglasses, and someone immediately helped her put them away.

Qiao Zhizheng knocked on the door three times. After three knocks, a lazy female voice came from inside, "Come in."

Qiao Zhizheng walked in. Unlike the serious image of Lou Heng in most people's impression, the Lou Heng in front of Qiao Zhizheng was wearing the simplest cotton and linen pajamas. The drape was very comfortable and he looked very comfortable. He was wearing plain glasses and looked like a white-collar worker who was resting at home after a busy day. He was dressed simply and looked relaxed. It seemed that he would yawn soon and close his eyes sleepily.

Qiao Zhizheng was not confused by the scene in front of him. After all, a person who acted without hesitation and invested all his fortune in a project that he didn't know whether it would have any results, was so cruel to himself, and would surely be even more cruel to others.

Qiao Zhizheng called out respectfully, "Boss Lou."

Lou Heng showed a kind smile, "Zhizhi, you are so polite when you see me. Why call me Mr. Lou? You used to call me Auntie Lou."

Qiao Zhizheng lowered her eyes, realizing her current situation clearly, "Things are different now."

Lou Heng looked at her with a smile, "Why did you come to see me today?"

"I came to thank you."

"Oh? Thank me? Thank me for what?"
