Chen Zhe sat in the back seat, while Zhang Kai, who was driving, talked incessantly about his glorious deeds in his youth. Although Chen Zhe nodded with a smile, he couldn't listen at all. His hand was on the panda pillow that Wang Qianqian had bought for him, and his thumb was rubbing the trace of crimson left on the white fur.
It was left behind by Mo Xiaohong. Last night it was too dark and I was in too much of a hurry, so I was going to throw it away. But then I thought, it was a gift from Wang Qianqian, so it doesn't seem right to just throw it away.
The tape of memories rewinds to last night.
Chen Zhe drove his newly bought car back; he planned to use it in the North District.
This large SUV has a very spacious rear seat and a multitude of features. The girls who drive Porsches found it quite novel and all came up to try sitting in it.
Wang Qianqian bought a panda pillow as a gift for Chen Zhe. Inside the panda pillow are some of the girl's heartfelt words.
Mo Xiaohong was the last one to go up. She hoped that Chen Zhe would take her for a ride alone. Chen Zhe made his way through the streets and alleys, then onto the main road, then onto the overpass, and finally into the suburbs.
In a campsite, Mo Xiaohong, who was already mentally prepared, pounced on it.
Whether a girl takes the initiative or not depends on whether you are charming. Charm is not always about a handsome face or the lure of money. More often than not, a woman will fall in love with a man through admiration.
During his time at Linglong Club, Chen Zhe accomplished many things that they couldn't do before. Now, because of his outstanding abilities, he has been transferred to another place as a manager. Mo Xiaohong doesn't know if her first time with him will be enough to keep him.
But she still wanted to give it a try. With this mindset, Mo Xiaohong completed her transformation from girl to woman in the back seat of this newly bought car.
The moon was bright, and the surrounding vegetation was wild. A campervan approached unnoticed, but was immediately spurred away by the SUV's wild movements. Before leaving, it even honked its horn to express its dissatisfaction.
Chen Zhe, who was sweating profusely in the back seat, laughed, which made Mo Xiaohong so embarrassed that she quickly covered her face.
But she was only embarrassed this once. After she gradually got used to it, when another RV came along, she started shouting, which made the RV driver curse.
She laughed with extraordinary joy, like a little girl who had just pulled off a prank.
The bloodstains stained the panda pillow. Chen Zhe picked it up to throw it away, but Mo Xiaohong took it instead. When she pressed down on the panda pillow, she clearly felt something inside. She unzipped the back of the panda pillow and saw a small box containing a watch.
Next to the watch was a small note, carefully cut rather than torn off randomly.
When the car interior light was turned on, it was revealed to be Wang Qianqian's handwriting, which told the story of a girl's emotional journey from dislike to acceptance and then to liking.
This piece of paper silenced the two of them.
Mo Xiaohong stuffed the box back in and said with a forced smile, "We didn't see it, did we?"
Chen Zhe hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He could already sense that Wang Qianqian was interested in him, as could Mo Xiaohong. The two women chose different methods. Wang Qianqian, who cared about her image, chose a subtle approach: she put the love letter inside a gift, and the gift inside a teddy bear. In her opinion, this secretive method was romantic.
The outspoken Mo Xiaohong chose a more direct method: seduction.
However, Chen Zhe had already made up his mind that for him now, feelings would only hinder his progress. Although it sounded cold and ruthless, that was the reality. He even gave up on Xie Yuhan, the girl he was most attracted to, and stopped contacting her.
How could he possibly be tempted by Mo Xiaohong and Wang Qianqian?
When Wang Qianqian gave him the teddy bear, her eyes hinted at something, and Chen Zhe also felt it in his hand, already knowing that there was something inside.
When he had sex with Mo Xiaohong, he deliberately brought up the teddy bear to make Mo Xiaohong discover it herself. Sure enough, a complicated expression appeared on Mo Xiaohong's face.
She pretended to be relaxed, saying that she just wanted to experience things between men and women, and told Chen Zhe not to take it to heart.
What would have been a love triangle was transformed by Chen Zhe into a psychological battle between the two girls. Since rejecting either of them would only make things worse, he figured it was better to let them process it themselves. This way, whether Wang Qianqian or Mo Xiaohong confessed to him, he would have a reason to use the other as an excuse.
...
The memory was interrupted by the sound of something opening up.
"Brother, we've arrived!"
Chen Zhe put the teddy bear aside, drove out, and stood in front of him at the Linglong Club in the North District.
Although the overall decoration is similar to the Linglong Club in the East District, there are some subtle changes in the details. The East District leans towards elegance, while the North District is more opulent.
There are many large industrial factories in the North District, and the parking spaces in front of their shops are filled with luxury cars of all sizes, with Cadillacs accounting for one-third of them.
After parking his car, Zhang Kai saw the scene, lit a cigarette, and laughed. "I'd heard that there were a lot of rich people in the North District, especially those who drive Cadillacs. Now that I see it, it's true. The King of Bathhouses really lives up to its name."
A red carpet had already been laid out at the entrance of Linglong Club, where rows of beautiful women stood. A woman in uniform, who appeared to be older, came over and gave a slight bow.
She extended her right hand, a professional smile on her face.
"This must be Manager Chen, right?"
Chen Zhe shook hands with her.
"Are you Manager Hao?"
"My name is Hao Li, and I am the deputy manager of Linglong Club in the North District. I will assist you with your work from now on. Let me introduce myself to you first."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Hao Li took Chen Zhe to the office.
This magnificent office will also be Chen Zhe's workplace from now on.
"Manager Chen, our Linglong Club in the East District has a bar on the first floor, a bath and foot massage parlor on the second floor, a KTV on the third floor, a billiards room on the fourth floor, and a massage parlor on the fifth floor. Our massage is a little different from that in the East District. The fifth floor in the East District only serves female customers, but ours serves both men and women."
Chen Zhe nodded; he had learned some things about it before coming.
Linglong Club has many branches in Donghai, and the service at each branch is slightly different.
Massage services are offered to male clients; that's perfectly normal.
Just as Chen Zhe was about to ask a few more questions, there was a knock on the office door.
A waiter walked in.
"Manager, something terrible has happened! Two guests on the fifth floor are fighting."
Upon hearing that the conflict originated from customers on the fifth floor, Hao Li frowned. The customers on the fifth floor were all influential figures, and none of them were people she could afford to offend.
"Manager Chen, please have a seat for a moment, I'll go take a look."
Chen Zhe had just arrived and wasn't very familiar with the place yet, so Hao Li planned to handle the matter herself.
Chen Zhe also stood up; "I'll go take a look too."
