Many people in the local business community are trying to find out what happened to Ma Quantao. They are worried that there has been no news since he was arrested and that trouble might befall them.
After all, no one's bottom is completely clean.
Everyone was filled with fear and trepidation. Those who had scolded Lu Feng at Ma Quantao's banquet that day were so frightened that they couldn't sleep, fearing that they would wake up and be imprisoned themselves.
Everyone called Ke Bing, trying to get some information out of him. Some of those who followed Ma Quantao even started to pledge their loyalty to Ke Bing.
Bai Meihua did not return to the hotel, but went to another four-star hotel. Manager Bai booked a room for her there and specifically instructed that the service must be impeccable.
For Bai Meihua, the whole day felt like a dream, as if she were walking on clouds, light and airy. Everything she ate, saw, and played with was impacting her brain.
Lying on the soft mattress, she couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking that these days were too wonderful, making her feel somewhat unreal. But the thought that she could lose everything she had at any moment filled her with fear and unease.
When Manager Bai returned to the VIP Hotel, Ke Bing was still awake and immediately called Manager Bai to his office.
"How did the questioning go?" Ke Bing asked anxiously.
"My cousin may seem honest on the surface, but she's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve. She's been stammering and won't say anything, but I'm sure she's heard some things!" Manager Bai replied.
"Then why don't you ask her? Just tell her how much she wants." Ke Bing stood up anxiously.
"President Ke, this matter can't be rushed. Lu Feng has helped her a lot, but she's still hesitant. I know Mei Hua quite well; she's very ambitious. I'll definitely get the answer from her tomorrow," Manager Bai assured her.
Ke Bing sat down. He dared not put all his bets on Manager Bai. Since Lu Feng had already taken the initiative to ask, he felt it was best to prepare the accounts in case of unforeseen circumstances.
The two chatted for a long time, and Manager Bai received another 20,000 yuan as payment for accompanying Bai Meihua the next day.
The next morning, as soon as Bai Meihua woke up, Manager Bai stood by her bedside and said, "Meihua, you're awake?"
"Sister, when did you get here?" Bai Meihua asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Just arrived. How was your rest? I'll take you shopping for clothes today, and we'll also take a look at the lives of the rich. We'll go bowling, and the handsome guy you danced with yesterday will keep you company," Manager Bai said.
"Isn't he at work? It wouldn't be good for him to stay with me!"
"Are you stupid? It's obvious that he's interested in you. Let me tell you, the young men in this city are very willing to spend money to pursue girls. You're so pretty. If you stay here a few more days, the line of men pursuing you could stretch all the way overseas."
Bai Meihua realized for the first time how beautiful she was. After washing up, putting on makeup, and changing into the clothes she had bought yesterday, she looked at her tall and slender self in the mirror and was overjoyed!
"Mr. Ke knows about your father's situation, and he's willing to help you. He gave you ten thousand yuan, so take it!" Manager Bai placed a wad of cash on the dressing table and continued, "Mr. Ke also said he could find you a job at the hotel, earning five or six thousand yuan a month. I told him you'd have a job as a teacher!"
Five or six thousand?
This is the annual income of an average rural family!
Bai Meihua paused for a moment, then, as if remembering something, hurriedly said, "Sister, I don't want to do that kind of job."
"What nonsense are you thinking? Would I push you into a fire pit? This VIP hotel is a place that makes a fortune every day, and it's not all about serving guests. Human resources, finance, and the front desk are all legitimate jobs." Manager Bai sat down and sighed, "Forget it, you're already preparing to become a teacher, there's no point in talking about this!"
Manager Bai deliberately spoke in a tone that implied he knew the person wouldn't go and was prepared to help them decline the job.
"I can do it!" Bai Meihua was a little anxious. The salary was so high that a month's work would be better than a year of teaching. Plus, her sister was a manager there, so she would have someone to look after her. She definitely wouldn't suffer any losses.
"Please talk to General Manager Ke, I can give it a try. Teachers' salaries are really not high!" Bai Meihua grabbed Manager Bai's hand and said urgently, "Even if I don't do well, just working for a few months will bring in a considerable income!"
"Then I'll go back and tell Mr. Ke. Let's go downstairs first; they're still waiting down there."
When I went downstairs, the handsome young man from the dance hall yesterday was waiting for me, holding a bouquet of flowers. He was dressed even more elegantly, like a male lead straight out of an idol drama.
She stepped forward and showered Bai Meihua with compliments, making her blush. Compared to Lu Feng's unattainable status, this handsome man in front of her seemed more within reach. Most importantly, he showed her admiration and acted as if he was at her beck and call.
High-end shops, bowling alleys, luxurious restaurants, handsome men showering her with attention, and luxury cars everywhere she goes—any ordinary girl would be completely captivated by this.

Lu Feng contacted He Jiale again in the morning. He Jiale's staff said that they were in a meeting in the morning and did not have time. They said they could talk on the phone in the afternoon, and they had already put this matter in He Jiale's afternoon schedule.
At 3 p.m., Lu Feng called as agreed.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, is there any good news for me?" He Jiale's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"The good news is true. I tricked Ke Bing out of his pocket. He also has ledgers. That's where he keeps his mistresses. Judging from his tone, it's going to drag on and involve a lot of people. This trick has really opened my eyes. I'm sure I can trick a lot of people out of his pocket. I'm just afraid you won't dare to go all out." Lu Feng's tone was a bit teasing.
