The afternoon was not busy at work, and Qiao Zhen sat at her workstation in a daze. Although He Yang was a scoundrel, the three years of feelings she had invested were not in vain.

She liked He Yang a lot at the time, and originally thought he was a sunny and cheerful big boy. Unexpectedly, his sunnyness was just his appearance and did not represent his inner self.

As she thought about it, Lu Zheng's image appeared in her mind.

Was he angry that she paid him back, or that she didn't take their relationship seriously?

Qiao Zhen couldn't figure it out, so she turned on her computer and started working.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time to leave work.

Two hundred thousand is not a small amount. After thinking for a moment, she dialed the phone, "Miaomiao, where are you? I'll return the money to you."

"No, no, the other party doesn't want it right now, so I won't take it. I'll give it to you when they want it."

A little girl's loud voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm at Qingyue Bar, the biggest bar in Jiangcheng. Come find me."

"good."

After packing her things, Qiao Zhen got up and went out.

Qingyue Bar is a popular spot for young people. The first floor is a disco, the second floor is a KTV, the third floor is a tea room and chess and card room, and the floors above the fourth floor are all hotels.

I have to say, this boss really knows how to do business.

When Qiao Zhen arrived at the bar by subway, she couldn't help but gasp at the luxurious decor.

She had only been to a bar once, and that's when she met Lu Zheng...

A security guard at the entrance asked her to put her bag into the security scanner, and after she went through, the guard opened it and checked it.

Once inside, although it wasn't completely dark outside, the bar was completely dark.

The lights shone on people in a staggered pattern, and many people in the middle were raising their arms and shouting.

The music was deafening. Qiao Zhen covered her ears and sighed, "I never want to come to a place like this again."

I took out my phone and dialed Yan Simiao's number, but the line was busy several times.

With no other option, Qiao Zhen had to search one booth after another.

The place was crowded, there was lots of alcohol, and everyone was talking loudly. People in the booths were playing dice and cards. Naturally, under the dim lighting, some people took advantage of the chaos to do outrageous things.

Qiao Zhen shook her head and sighed, then walked over awkwardly.

When they got to the second floor, which was full of private rooms, Qiao Zhen really didn't have the courage to push open the door and look for someone.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, several people came up from the other side of the stairs. Upon closer inspection, she saw Lu Zheng, dressed in a sharp suit, entering the private room on the left, followed by Chen Yan.

Qiao Zhen stood there, stunned.

What happened?

So, was Lu Zheng's unusual early departure this time because of Shen Yan?

For some reason, Qiao Zhen's eyes were extremely sore. She quickly turned around, rubbed her eyes, and secretly scolded herself for being spineless. Lu Zheng was from another world, so what was there to be sad about?

Besides, with the heavy burden of supporting his mother and younger brother, he had no time to think about his own affairs.

After thinking for a while, Qiao Zhen suppressed her grievances. Just then, Yan Simiao called, "Zhenzhen, I'm in the private room on the far west side of the second floor. Come quickly."

Qiao Zhen hummed in agreement, put her phone in her bag, and just as she straightened her clothes, a delicate voice came from behind her, "Zhenzhen, I'm here."

Qiao Zhen turned around, and Yan Simiao waved at her.

"Why are you so late?"

Yan Simiao jogged over and grabbed her arm. "Let me tell you, I specially found a few male models for you today, so don't be shy."

Qiao Zhen slapped her arm and frowned, saying, "Miao Miao, if I remember correctly, you're the same age as me, right? How come you're acting like a spoiled brat? You call male models, be careful your parents find out, they'll cut off your credit card, and then see what you do."

Yan Simiao hugged Qiao Zhen's arm affectionately, "Zhenzhen, don't tell my parents. My mom likes you the most. She always says you're sensible and mature, and better than me. But today I'm celebrating a friend's birthday, so please don't scold me."

Without a word, Yan Simiao pulled him into a private room.

The private room was filled with smoke. Yan Simiao coughed several times and pulled her aside to introduce her, "Ladies, this is my good friend Zhenzhen. We grew up together. My parents like her more than I do."

Several girls on the sofa waved to Qiao Zhen, "It's so nice of you, come sit down."

Qiao Zhen looked at the group of beautiful women and took Yan Simiao's hand, saying, "I know most of your friends, but I've never seen these few before."

"They are my good friends from abroad, and that's why they came back to China."

Yan Simiao smiled as she poured Qiao Zhen a drink. "The one in the middle, Su Su, is having her birthday today. By the way, her family is a medical device manufacturer in City A. My dad has always wanted to cooperate with them, and I'm trying to curry favor with them now."

Qiao Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, you've become sensible."

"Sister Zhenzhen, let me have a drink with you." The handsome male model came over with a wine glass and leaned against Qiao Zhen as he spoke.

Qiao Zhen instinctively stood up, her movements a bit too exaggerated.

"What's wrong, Sister Zhenzhen?" The male model looked at her and immediately felt a little aggrieved.

Qiao Zhen then realized that she had overreacted. Her gaze swept over the male model in front of her. He was young and good-looking. It was a pity that he was so young and didn't do something legitimate. Instead, he came here to work as a hostess!

"I'm sorry, I don't drink alcohol."

"That's a real shame." The male model was a little disappointed, a hint of regret showing in his fox-like eyes.

Qiao Zhen didn't know why, but looking at his eyes, she was reminded of Lu Zheng, who had outstanding looks and an amazing physique.

Especially in bed...

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen's face turned bright red with embarrassment. What was she even thinking?!

"Zhenzhen, what's wrong? If you don't like this male model, I'll get you a different one!" Yan Simiao noticed that something was wrong with her and hurriedly came over to ask.

"No need to change, let's keep him."

Qiao Zhen sat down again, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Yan Simiao grinned and leaned closer, "Zhenzhen, don't be shy, relax and have fun today. It's all on me, don't worry. The male models here are top-notch, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Miao Miao!" Qiao Zhen's face turned even redder. How come she hadn't noticed before that Yan Simiao was so uninhibited?

Yan Simiao covered her mouth and laughed, "Okay, okay, I was just teasing you." Then she glanced at the male model, "My friend likes guys who are fresh and refined, so you'd better take good care of them."

This time, the male model didn't lean on Qiao Zhen's shoulder; instead, he sat not far from her.

"This is the best entertainment venue in Jiangcheng. Haven't you been here before?"

Qiao Zhen shifted her body slightly to the side. "Yes, this is my first time here."

"Oh, no wonder." The male model suddenly smiled. "Sister Zhenzhen, you are so beautiful, just like a princess from a fairy tale."

Anyone would be delighted to hear praise, and Qiao Zhen was no exception. In just a few words, she became less resistant to him.
