Secretary Tang thought to himself, although Chen Manting is the only child of the first branch of the Chen family, the Chen family is in the hands of Old Master Chen, who is a very old-fashioned man. Moreover, the second branch of the Chen family has two boys. Although one of them is only fifteen years old and the other is only eight years old, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Wasn't President Xi the one who took over the Xi family business from his aunt when he was eighteen?
Three to five years pass very quickly.
Li Ruan: Chen Manting, isn't that the woman who was trending on social media with Xi Leng?
"Does she come here often?"
Secretary Tang: "Not often. Before, she would occasionally come over for gatherings with friends. After joining Chen's, she came a few times to entertain clients."
After that, Li Ruan didn't ask any more questions.
Li Ruan originally thought that Secretary Tang would take her to a bar, but that wasn't the case. Secretary Tang led her around the floors, stopping at each one for a while. During this time, she saw several big names in the entertainment industry relaxing there.
The music was loud and the atmosphere was high in room 812 on the 8th floor. A waiter pushed open the door and whispered a few words to Chen Manting, "We're on the fourteenth floor now. Secretary Tang is showing her around on each floor. They'll definitely be going to the sixteenth floor next."
Chen Manting immediately laughed, handed the waitress a large red envelope, and after she left, she immediately beckoned to her friends, who were mostly second-generation rich kids, "Want to go to the sixteenth floor for some fun?"
Li Chenming has liked Chen Manting for so many years and knows her too well. They were suddenly called over for a party tonight. The waiter said a few words and told them to go to the sixteenth floor. So, is there someone on the sixteenth floor who interests her?
"Great! I've been itching to play, but I've been enslaved by my dad lately and haven't been out to play in ages."
So, Chen Manting and her group quickly went to the sixteenth-floor casino.
...
Li Ruan was also taken to the sixteenth floor by Secretary Tang.
Seeing the bustling lobby, Li Ruan's eyes lit up immediately. She quickly took out her bank card: "Quick, help me exchange for chips. I didn't expect the banquet to have such a great place!"
Secretary Tang said, "The boss said that all of Miss Li's expenses here will be on his behalf. I can just give you the chips directly."
Our boss has plenty of money, so why not spend it? He spends at least nine figures a year on women. Given Mr. Xi's relationship with our boss, a million is nothing.
"It's their business if the two of them have a good relationship. My relationship with Mr. Xi isn't what you think, so it's better if I use my own card. Otherwise, I'll feel embarrassed."
Secretary Tang's standard smile finally changed. It wasn't the kind of relationship they had imagined. So what was it?
Could it be that Miss Li is just Mr. Xi's female companion, or perhaps, his lover?
People in the entertainment industry do find sugar daddies for themselves, but Miss Pear doesn't seem like it at all!
Moreover, why is she being so honest? Is she serious?
“Then, I’ll go and exchange the chips for Miss Pear.”
While she was waiting to collect her chips, many people began to scrutinize her. She knew it was because her appearance was so eye-catching, and perhaps a few people recognized her, but she wasn't afraid at all.
As Secretary Tang just mentioned, no one is allowed to take photos using any electronic devices above the fourth floor of the banquet hall.
This is also one of the main reasons why the banquet hall has such a great reputation.
The lowest level of entry-level membership requires an annual fee of 100,000 yuan. Furthermore, the security measures are extremely strong; even if a reporter sneaks in, they will not be able to release the information they have.
The million-dollar chips were quickly exchanged for other chips, including tens of thousands, fifty thousand, and one hundred thousand, but there weren't many on the tray.
Secretary Tang wanted to take Li Ruan to a private room so she wouldn't be disturbed, but after seeing Chen Manting and her friends there, how could Li Ruan possibly go?
She deliberately found a table closest to table number 8 and sat down, then started playing.
Inside VIP room 808.
After Li Ruan left, Fu Jingnian looked at Xi Leng with a probing expression, "Brother Leng, are you and Li Ruan serious, or do you not plan for it to last?"
He hadn't forgotten Xi Leng's introduction: she was Li Ruan.
If it were your girlfriend or someone you plan to marry, why would you be so cold and only introduce her by name when introducing her to your friends?
Feng Qingmo and the other person also stared at Xi Leng, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"What do you mean, 'true or not'? Didn't you guys say you'd advise me to find a lover to support?"
Pei Yizhi: So you really kept a lover? And you're surprisingly obedient!
Feng Qingmo glanced at Fu Jingnian, her eyes conveying a clear message: Look what you've done!
"A contractual lover?"
Xi Leng originally didn't want to answer the question because he felt that if he really said it, something he didn't want to face would definitely happen in the future. However, these three were all his good brothers, so he nodded anyway.
Fu Jingnian coughed, feeling inexplicably guilty. It seemed that Brother Leng had been corrupted by him.
"So what exactly are your feelings for her?"
Xi Leng frowned. What feelings? They were in a contractual relationship. She was his kept mistress. If feelings developed, the contract would have to be terminated beforehand.
Moreover, judging from the young woman's expression, it seemed she was unwilling to renew the contract after it ended, which made him inexplicably irritable.
Feng Qingmo reminded the three of them: "Don't forget, Li Ruan is in the entertainment industry. Given your aunt's personality, she will not agree to Brother Leng marrying a woman in the entertainment industry."
Xi Leng unconsciously pursed his lips. "Who said I was going to marry her?"
If he were to marry someone given his circumstances, wouldn't that be harming that person?
He will never get married in his life!
Seeing his resistant expression, Pei Yizhi and the other two wisely stopped talking.
Leng Ge's situation is truly unique; if he can't change his mindset, no amount of advice from others will help.
Just then, Fu Jingnian's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw it was Secretary Tang calling. He pressed the answer button: "What is it?"
"Boss, there's something interesting to see, are you in?"
Fu Jingnian was surprised. What kind of excitement would Secretary Tang bring when she accompanied Li Ruan to the club?
Which floor?
After asking the question, he immediately realized he had asked a stupid one, because he had already heard the casino dealer say that the bets were off.
"The luxurious hall on the sixteenth floor."
"Is Miss Li alright?"
Secretary Tang glanced at Li Ruan, who was sitting perfectly still, and then replied to her boss with a smile: "She's doing great."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Jingnian called to his brothers, "Let's go, let's go to the sixteenth floor. Xiao Tang said there's something interesting to see."
Xi Leng had already stood up. When Fu Jingnian mentioned Li Ruan, he was worried that his little lover would be bullied. Even if no one dared to cause trouble on Jingnian's turf, what if someone was blind to his faults?
The four quickly went up to the sixteenth floor, but instead of entering the VIP room, they went into the private room next door. Fu Jingnian called someone to connect the surveillance camera next door, allowing them to spy on the other side at close range.
