He walked straight to Xia Changlong and Zhou Pengfei, shook hands with Xia Changlong and exchanged a few pleasantries, then "borrowed" Zhou Pengfei from him.
Without Xia Changlong by Zhou Pengfei's side, the young women finally seized the opportunity and began to eagerly try their luck.
They struck various poses, trying to attract Zhou Pengfei's attention, but he didn't even glance at them.
Zhou Pengfei and Quan Wukang continued chatting at the small round table in front of the bar.
Seeing that pretending to be reserved wouldn't get them anywhere, a few of the more outgoing ones started to gravitate towards Zhou Pengfei.
Mrs. Xia and Yang Yajing, who were not far away, also saw it.

“I’m an illustrator,” Zhou Pengfei replied simply.
"An illustrator?" Before Yuan Aiqin could think of the next sentence, another woman interjected, "Mr. Zhou, I'm Qian Qianqian from the Qiantang Painting Academy. We're practically colleagues, aren't we?"
"Hello!" Zhou Pengfei uttered only two words.
"May I ask what works Mr. Zhou has created?" Qian Qianqian asked.
"I've painted some murals, some book covers and illustrations, and done some charity sales, but nothing particularly remarkable," Zhou Pengfei said modestly.
