The manager has been saying these things to Xie Linchuan a lot these days, constantly hinting that he should go out with so-and-so, as if he were an object that could be traded at will.
Xie Linchuan's face showed impatience at the manager's explanation.
Just as he was about to refuse, he heard the manager say, "Do you remember those two female customers I asked you to deliver the wine to? The two sitting on the east side."
Xie Linchuan's expression froze instantly.
He looked up: "It's them?"
"It's that short-haired lady. She gave me her contact information and said she wanted to get in touch with you. Do you want to give her a chance?"
He remembered that Jiang Tian was a friend of his.
But the person he wanted to contact wasn't her.
If we give up this opportunity, our chances of getting close to Jiang Tian in the future will be even slimmer.
Perhaps he could use a roundabout approach to get closer to her...
He said, "Okay, give me her contact information."
Soon, Xie Linchuan got her phone number.
The two had already left the bar. He timed his call perfectly and the woman on the other end answered quickly.
She smiled and asked, "Who is it?"
"Hello, I'm a bartender. Could you please have the manager contact me? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xie Linchuan spoke in a very formal and methodical manner, and it seemed as if there was nothing wrong with his speech.
He couldn't possibly have anything to do with that woman; he didn't like her anyway.
Moreover, he hates anyone getting close to him.
The woman's cheerful laughter rang out: "Oh, it's you, handsome little brother. Are you free tonight? I need your help with something."
Xie Linchuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but he restrained himself. He needed to maintain contact with the woman on the other end of the phone before making his move.
"...What kind of help?"
His tone had an indescribable stiffness.
"Are there any other people with you? Why don't you find a secluded spot so we can continue our conversation?"
Xie Linchuan frowned even more deeply. He could almost guess what the woman was going to say, and his disgust intensified.
But he still did as she said and found a secluded spot: "Okay, go ahead and say it."
"Well, I saw you at the bar today, and I actually really like you. You're very good-looking. At least among the young people I've met over the years, you're one of the top few. So I'm planning to introduce you to a lucrative business opportunity... A guy like you must be working quite hard here, maybe you could consider a different kind of life."
Xie Linchuan almost blurted out—he wouldn't sell.
But he held back: "Please just say what you have to say."
The woman laughed again: "If I met you in another country, I would definitely want to have you. But not today. My sister is welcoming me, and I can't let her come all this way for nothing. Here's a small gift for her as a token of my appreciation."
Xie Linchuan's expression changed slightly: "...Who are the sisters you're talking about?"
"Didn't you see us? We were drinking together over there back then."
Xie Linchuan's heart suddenly raced: "What are you going to do?"
"Let's be frank, I don't do anything that involves forcing someone to buy or sell. Here's the thing, I saw you today and thought your overall condition was pretty good. I also asked your manager and heard that you're working part-time, so your health should be guaranteed. My sister is currently completely drunk and unconscious. If it's convenient for you, you could come and take care of her. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly; we're all people who know the rules."
The woman clearly wasn't going to beat around the bush with him; her purpose was already very clear.
For a moment, Xie Linchuan felt a mix of emotions.
"You mean—you're going to give me to your sister?"
"I'm just asking for your opinion. Actually, I still suggest you seize this opportunity. What my sister can give you is something you might never be able to achieve through your own efforts in your entire life. If I were you, with such good looks as you, I would never say I'm sorry, I can't."
The woman was gently persuading him, but the central message remained the same.
Xie Linchuan's expression grew increasingly complicated. He licked his dry lips and said, "I think you're overthinking it. I also exchanged glances with that...sister today, and she's not interested in me..."
This time, the woman laughed even more heartily: "I think you're overthinking it. You don't understand her at all, so don't make such arbitrary statements."
"Let me put it this way, my sister won't linger on someone she's not interested in for more than 0.1 seconds, but she looked at you for a full three seconds before looking away. If I said she wasn't interested in you at all, then I've been friends with her for over ten years for nothing."
Xie Linchuan was so shocked that he didn't know who to tell.
...Is Jiang Tian interested in him?
Is this really true?
He suddenly felt a strange, inexplicable turmoil in his heart.
Indeed, he was trying his best to get closer to Jiang Tian, but he never thought of doing it this way.
He has no intention of betraying himself...
"I heard your surname is Xie, Little Xie, think it over carefully. My sister is no ordinary person. What you learn from her is something you could never learn in a lifetime at university. Moreover, this is only on a spiritual level. She certainly won't mistreat you materially."
Xie Linchuan never expected that this set of words would be used on him.
When he was a child, there was an illegitimate daughter in his family who was obsessed with melodramatic idol dramas. He couldn't compete with her for the TV, so he would watch a few episodes when he was bored.
He had seen many similar storylines in idol dramas.
But now this scenario has actually happened in real life, and it has happened to him.
He really had no intention of doing anything related to it.
But—is the human body really that important?
If he doesn't seize the opportunity, Fu Mingche will definitely kick him out first.
By then, he won't have the chance to do anything else.
However, is this deal really fair?
In order to see Jiang Tian, he actually had to sacrifice... his first time.
"You called me on this phone... Does she know?" Xie Linchuan suddenly thought of this question again.
"Of course I don't know. But don't worry, we've known each other for so many years, I know exactly what she likes and dislikes. She'll definitely like you."
Xie Linchuan fell silent again.
His silence seemed to be sending a signal of rejection.
After a few seconds of silence, the woman sighed softly on the other end: "It seems you don't have any intention of doing this, so let's just forget about it. Don't tell anyone my phone number, and keep our conversation a secret, or you'll be in big trouble."
Upon hearing this, Xie Linchuan's heart skipped a beat.
Thinking of Jiang Tianqing's piercing gaze, he suddenly made up his mind: "...I agree."
The woman's laughter was crisp and clear: "Okay, the car is already waiting outside. You know Maybach, right? Get in, and the driver will take you to your destination."
