Chapter 74: Morality in the Industry
At the entrance of the winery, there are staff responsible for verifying identities.
After Chen Lingling gave the electronic invitation letter on her mobile phone to the staff for inspection, she brought Lin You to the party venue.
People of all kinds came into view, which was a huge shock to the two people who had never attended such a gathering.
It’s like someone who usually eats coarse food suddenly has a full banquet placed in front of him, and feels at a loss as to how to start.
Chen Lingling lowered her voice and whispered, "It's indeed a gathering of wealthy people. Look at these handsome men and beautiful women, they are all so good-looking."
Lin You took a quick look and was also surprised.
There were about 10 to 20 people crammed into the not-so-big room, which looked like a small bar that had been privately converted.
Men and women gathered in groups of three or four to chat and drink. Everyone wore high-end clothes and exquisite makeup.
There was very romantic music playing in the room, and a slightly tipsy beauty was swaying her body slowly in the middle, dancing in a seductive and ambiguous manner.
When Lin You and Chen Lingling stepped into the banquet hall, almost everyone, whether intentionally or not, looked towards the door.
Everyone who comes here has a purpose, so they will naturally focus on the door at all times so that they can find the right target as soon as possible.
The gazes that fell on Lin You were filled with inquiry, jealousy, and eagerness.
Almost subconsciously, she couldn't help but take a step back.
"Lingling..."
Lin You was about to speak when he turned around and saw Chen Lingling staring in one direction.
She followed Chen Lingling's gaze and saw a handsome man in black clothes and black pants standing by the window talking to someone.
The man only showed his side face, but his appearance was enough to make people unable to take their eyes off him.
Chen Lingling didn't have time to listen to Lin You's words and shook Lin You's arm excitedly.
"Sister! That's Abai, Abai!"
Lin You had never heard of this person, but judging from Chen Lingling's reaction, this person was most likely a celebrity.
Perhaps Chen Lingling's reaction was too obvious, and the women nearby covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
"The threshold for admission to this Kayan Bureau is getting lower and lower. Even someone like this dares to sneak in."
"Exactly. Look at the clothes they wear. They're as cheap as rags. Do they think this is the messy place outside?"
"It's not surprising. That Qiu originally opened a cheap store, and most of the stuff he has is of this kind."
"Don't worry, if Li Shao and the others really wanted this kind of cheap stuff, they wouldn't have set up such a scheme."
The people were not far away from each other, and they didn't deliberately lower their voices when speaking.
So Chen Lingling and Lin You heard every word of these words.
Chen Lingling's expression changed, but she said nothing. She pretended to be calm and walked inside with Lin You.
However, Lin You heard something unusual from their words.
She frowned and wanted to persuade Chen Lingling to leave.
But she suddenly felt a slight tremor in her arm.
When she looked up again, she saw clearly that Chen Lingling's face was clearly aggrieved, but she was trying hard to suppress the expression.
Lin You frowned, "Lingling, what on earth are you doing at this party?"
Now that I think about it, even though Chen Lingling often talks big and flatters handsome guys, she is never a person without self-esteem.
She couldn't have failed to imagine how much cold stares people like them would encounter if they entered here.
She thought about it, but she still came stubbornly, even using Lin You's beauty as a stepping stone.
Chen Lingling's body stiffened, surprised at Lin You's sharpness, but she had no intention of explaining.
She lowered her head and replied dryly, "Don't ask."
Lin You hesitated for a moment and stopped asking.
However, her original plan of just showing her face and leaving was completely abandoned.
How could she feel at ease leaving Chen Lingling here alone before she was sure of her purpose in coming here?
A woman in a red halter dress walked over with a wine glass in her hand. She had a gorgeous appearance.
Chen Lingling called out politely, "Sister Qiu."
Sister Qiu nodded slightly, and her gaze moved away from Chen Lingling and fell on Lin You.
She seemed to be very satisfied with Lin You, so she said this indifferently.
"Just go sit over there with your friends."
Chen Lingling responded and pulled Lin You to follow Sister Qiu.
Sister Qiu and her friends occupied several tables in the corner.
After Chen Lingling and Lin You came over, two girls sensibly made room for them.
A girl with short hair took the initiative to get close to them.
"Don't pay attention to those people at the door. They don't get along with Sister Qiu to begin with. They know in the group that you are Sister Qiu's people, so don't pay any attention to what they say."
Chen Lingling nodded.
Lin You was quite surprised.
It seems that all the women here were brought in by someone.
Those sitting at this table all joined this Kayan Bureau through Sister Qiu’s connections.
Chen Lingling thanked the short-haired girl and refilled her glass.
After a few drinks, the two of them became like real sisters and started talking faster.
The short-haired girl, under the influence of alcohol, gave them some heartfelt advice.
"Tonight's game is all about Young Master Li. Young Master Li is generous, and anyone he takes a fancy to can make a fortune."
After hearing this, Lin You finally understood what this party was about.
She remembered the blue sea and sky.
Lin You secretly winked at Chen Lingling, and it was obvious that he wanted to leave.
Chen Lingling shook her head imperceptibly and sighed in front of the short-haired girl.
"Mr. Li probably wouldn't look down on someone like me, but I'm quite interested in his friends."
The short-haired girl drank too much and burped: "Huh, when you came in, I saw you looking at Abai?"
Chen Lingling nodded shyly, "He...he is very handsome."
The short-haired girl shook her head and advised in the tone of someone who had experienced it:
"You're new to this kind of situation, so you don't understand. People like Ah Bai are just good-looking but useless."
Chen Lingling looked surprised and toasted the short-haired girl with a glass of wine.
"What do you mean? We just arrived. Sister, please tell us."
The short-haired girl smiled obscurely, "He, don't be fooled by his glamorous appearance on the screen. He's actually from the countryside, doesn't have much money, and is also very lustful."
"The women around him change more frequently than he wears clothes, and they're stingy with their money. You can't get any benefits from them."
If she hadn't been so confident when she spoke, Lin You and Chen Lingling would have found it hard to imagine that such a beautiful star actually had such a big scandal behind her.
After the short-haired girl finished speaking, she finally revealed her intentions.
She called on Lin You, who had been silent.
"Sister, our line of work has its own moral code. I've told you so much, but in the end... you have to guide me."
Lin You was confused, "How do I bring it?"
