Chen Zhe drove the woman home, and she vomited a lot in the car.
Frowning, he drove the car to the car wash again.
After getting everything done, it was already 1:00 AM when I got back to the dormitory.
Mo Xiaohong had just finished drying her hair when she came out and saw Chen Zhe. She asked, "Chen Zhe, where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you anywhere."
"I took two days off..."
Chen Zhe told a lie, and he realized he had changed. Now he liked to tell little lies, and it was subconscious.
"Haha, are you taking the day off tomorrow? Don't take it, my tips have been dropping a lot lately!"
"Hmm, I guess we won't be inviting anyone tomorrow!"
...
12 noon.
The sun was blazing today, and cars streamed along the road. The heatwave baked the earth, and under the only tree that offered some shade, several stray dogs had urinated on it multiple times, making it stink terribly.
Chen Zhe covered his nose as he walked past. He had originally planned to sleep in a little longer today, but Hu Ling's phone call woke him up again. Fu Xuehong had come over.
Unlike the heat outside.
On the third floor of Linglong Club, in Hu Ling's office, the air conditioning was cool and the lighting was dim. Three men who looked like thugs were lying on the floor, looking like they had been beaten badly, with bruises and swollen faces.
Fu Xuehong sat on the sofa with her legs crossed.
His eyes were filled with indifference.
"Tell me! Why did you beat my son?"
The three men knelt down and begged for mercy, all saying that it was because Gu Chaoming had stolen their girlfriends that things had turned out this way.
Fu Xuehong frowned. She knew her son's character; he was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
He waved his hand and ordered his men to take these people away.
Sitting to the side, Hu Ling smiled and said, "Sister Hong, don't get angry. Health is the foundation of everything. Getting angry too much is bad for your health."
Seeing the tea Hu Ling poured for her, Fu Xuehong didn't drink it immediately. Instead, she looked at Hu Ling and said, "Hu Ling, isn't this too much of a coincidence? My son was beaten, and then your people showed up? Is there really such a coincidence in this world?"
"Hehe, of course it wasn't such a coincidence. Those people had planned this all along. Sister Hong knows that my men are a mixed bunch, so they have a lot of ears. When I found out they were going to deal with your son, I sent someone over to check it out."
"You can just call me. Do you think I can't handle this?"
Fu Xuehong said.
"Of course Sister Hong can handle it, but there's a saying that goes, 'It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you.' Your son has offended quite a few people. Sister Hong can resolve this once, but can you do it every time?"
Fu Xuehong fell silent. Over the years, she had been mentally and physically exhausted from cleaning up her son's messes.
He slowly exhaled.
"So, you called me over because you have a good idea?"
"Hehe, it's not a good idea, but I do have a suggestion. It depends on what you think, Sister Hong."
"you say!"
"To be frank, Sister Hong, the reason your son has become like this is largely due to his own actions. He has no one around him who can properly restrain him. It's fine if he offends some common people, but what if one day he offends someone that even you, Sister Hong, can't afford to offend?"
Fu Xuehong fell silent.
She was indeed worried about this.
Donghai City is full of hidden talents and powerful people; there are even some you can't win over with money.
"Sister Hong, have you been to our club before?"
Hu Ling asked.
"I've heard of it, but I'm not interested."
Fu Xuehong is very straightforward.
"Hehe, Sister Hong, we're both smart people. Let me be frank with you. On the surface, this place is just a club, but in reality, it's also a platform. My members are all top figures from various industries in Tianhai City. I invited you here today, Sister Hong, because I want to be your friend."
Fu Xuehong hesitated for a moment; "What do you need me to do?"
"You don't have to do anything, just drink tea, chat, and relax when you're feeling relaxed."
Fu Xuehong's eyebrows twitched slightly; "Is that all?"
"Otherwise what?"
Fu Xuehong hesitated for a moment, then picked up the cup of tea in front of her and drank it.
"If that's the case, then that's fine. But let me tell you in advance, if you want me to do anything for you, I won't agree!"
Hu Ling smiled; "No, I would never force anyone."
"That's good! What about my son?"
"Don't worry, Sister Hong, I will make the arrangements. I still have some influence, so in the future, anyone who dares to touch your son in Donghai will have to ask me first."
"Okay, I'll be going now!"
Fu Xuehong accepted Hu Ling's membership card and stood up to leave.
"Sister Hong, don't be in such a hurry. Since you're already here, why not experience our service?"
Fu Xuehong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
...
Chen Zhe changed his clothes, picked up his small suitcase, and pushed open the door to room 03.
"Hello, guest! I am technician number 09, it's a pleasure to serve you!"
Fu Xuehong, who had just changed her clothes, was stunned. She knew that Chen Zhe worked at Linglong Club, but he hadn't said that he was a technician.
"How could it be you? Aren't there any female masseuses here?"
"Some guests."
"Then go and get me a different female masseuse."
"Good guest!"
Chen Zhe turned to leave, pretending to go out, but then added, "Guest, would you like me to talk to you about Young Master Gu's matter?"
"Um?"
Chen Zhe stayed; he intended to keep the customers he had worked so hard to attract firmly under his control.
At first, Fu Xuehong was still a little wary, but Chen Zhe's hands had a kind of magic, both warm and strong, which gradually made her relax and feel incredibly comfortable.
They all forgot to ask about their son.
Chen Zhe's voice rang in her ear: "Sister Hong, your back is very stiff. Do you rarely get massages?"
"I don't have that kind of free time."
Fu Xuehong, with her eyes closed, said.
"Sister Hong, you seem to have a sprained back. Do you need me to help you straighten it?"
"Hmm? Can you do it?"
"Sister Hong, I have a certificate."
"Then please help me with this!"
It was just a casual remark, but unexpectedly, Chen Zhe really had some skill and fixed it for her in no time.
Fu Xuehong fell and injured herself while taking a bath. She hadn't had a chance to see a doctor yet, but unexpectedly, Chen Zhe cured her.
"Wow! You're pretty good!"
Feeling her health improving, Fu Xuehong became happy.
“Sister Hong, our family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine massage for generations, and it has been passed down to me for over 400 years.”
Fu Xuehong nodded; "So that's how it is. No wonder you can work as a technician here. You really are quite skilled."
"Sister Hong, you flatter me."
"Oh right, you just said you wanted to talk to me about Chaoming. I almost forgot to ask. Is there something you need?"
Chen Zhe pretended to hesitate for a moment.
"Sister Hong, I don't know if I should say this..."
"It's alright, go ahead and tell me!"
After a round of conversation, Fu Xuehong gradually let go of her prejudice against Chen Zhe.
"Young Master Gu might be feeling a bit weak..."
"Hmm? You figured it out?"
"Yes, our family has practiced traditional Chinese medicine massage for generations..."
"Um...this will affect his health, right?"
"Yes, if we don't adjust things quickly, his kidneys may fail in a few years, and then even having children may become a problem."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuehong became anxious; "What? Is it that serious?"
“Sister Hong, I’m not lying to you. Last night… you should know that Young Master Gu had something happen with that woman. I could tell right then that Young Master Gu’s body was a bit depleted.”
"What... what should we do then?"
Fu Xuehong only has one son, and her son is everything to her. When she heard that her son was going to have problems, she immediately lost her composure. Where was the high and mighty female CEO she was now?
She was just a normal mother who worried about her son.
"Sister Hong, you don't need to worry too much. After all, Young Master Gu is still young. If he is moderate and takes care of himself, there won't be any major problems."
"But...but I can't control him either..."
Speaking of this, Fu Xuehong was in a bit of a dilemma. Her son was notoriously dissolute; to put it bluntly, he was like a teddy bear, always getting into trouble. The mother and son had argued about this many times.
"By the way, are you and him doing quite well now?"
Fu Xuehong asked.
"Well... I don't think Young Master Gu dislikes me, do I...?"
"It's good that you don't dislike it. Chen Zhe, can you do me a favor?"
"Sister Hong, if you tell me, I will definitely help if I can."
"I heard from Hu Ling that you also study at Tunghai University, is that right?"
"I go to school whenever I have free time."
"Okay, could you keep an eye on him for me and try to keep him away from those shady women, okay?"
"This... Young Master Gu might not listen to me..."
"I understand, but it's always good to have one more person to advise you. I won't let you do this for nothing; I'll give you 20,000 yuan every month, how about that?"
"Sister Hong, you don't need to give me money. You are a VIP guest of our Linglong Club, and I will try my best to meet your requests."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuehong suddenly felt pleased. Was the service at Linglong Club really that good? Could they even provide this kind of service?
"Alright, then I'll leave things to you from now on."
"Sister Hong, I'll do my best."
We said goodbye to Fu Xuehong.
Chen Zhe arrived at Hu Ling's office.
"How did the chat go?"
"She asked me to keep a closer eye on her son."
"hehe……"
Hu Ling put down her pen and laughed. "Sure enough, this son is her weakness. This kind of woman is the easiest to control. I'll leave this person to you. Fill in her detailed information. Remember, I want all the blanks filled in!"
Hu Ling pushed a document in front of Chen Zhe.
The page was filled with a lot of information, ranging from small details like habits and hobbies to big things like trade secrets and company secrets.
"Is it possible?"
Hu Ling rested her chin on her hand and quietly looked at Chen Zhe.
Chen Zhe didn't ask as many questions as before; he nodded and said, "I will definitely do it!"
Hu Ling smiled. She knew that Chen Zhe was very different now than before, and this change was something she liked to see.
"Alright, go out!"
Chen Zhe stepped out of the office, looked at the document in his hand, and smiled.
Is this considered a pledge of allegiance?
