Chapter 3
Wei Ge subconsciously placed his phone upside down on the table and smiled at Xu Zhou in front of him. "He's an uncle, I'm staying at his house."
Xu Zhou didn't know what he was thinking, but he smiled and took a piece of perfectly cooked tripe from the boiling hot pot and put it in Wei Ge's bowl.
"Junior, eat more. You look so thin." Xu Zhou looked at Wei Ge with such enthusiasm that the bright light above his head became a little hotter.
Wei Ge is the kind of person who is obviously a bully at home. He is most active when he is alone, and the second most active when he is with his father Wei Mingzhe.
In front of outsiders, he looks almost harmless and gullible.
Wei Ge originally had fair skin, and his slender frame and skin with some exposed veins made him look fragile and lovable.
But one day he saw something on the Internet and found that his body type was not suitable for that aspect.
But he has no interest in women, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out.
"Well! Let me say a few words first." Li Cheng, who was sitting opposite, suddenly stood up, picked up the wine glass in front of him and raised it towards Wei Ge, "Junior brother! I toast you a glass! Although you didn't come to live in our dormitory, meeting you is fate. I will protect you in school from now on."
"Don't worry, he just has a loud voice. He's actually not very smart and stupid." Xu Zhou leaned close to Wei Ge and whispered, "But he's really a man of integrity."
Wei Ge immediately picked up the wine glass beside him and raised it towards Li Cheng, "Senior, I toast to you too."
School is a small society, so it is naturally important to maintain good relationships.
After drinking, Wei Ge turned his head to another boy wearing thick glasses, who should be his other roommate, Zhang Zhilin.
"Senior, I toast to you too." Without waiting for Zhang Zhilin to speak, Wei Ge drank another glass of wine.
"Good boy, you can drink quite a lot!" Li Cheng looked at Wei Ge and smiled, then patted Zhang Zhilin on the shoulder. The boy next to him seemed indifferent.
"I don't drink, so just bring some drinks." Zhang Zhilin's voice came from the side, and he picked up the Mirinda beside him and drank it.
"He's the president of the student union. He's a bookworm and a bit of a nerd, but he's well-informed." Xu Zhou and Wei Ge raised an eyebrow. "Lin Zi is the liaison for the competition the Academy of Fine Arts is holding with ARKI this year. You can ask him any questions you have."
"The competition hasn't started yet, I plan to improve my personal skills first, so that I can create works according to the judges' preferences." Wei Ge was also sincere. In a competition like this, personal strength is important, but catering to the judges' preferences is also crucial.
Hearing this, Zhang Zhilin looked up at Wei Ge, as if sizing up every part of his body, then nodded in confusion, "You do have a chance."
What does that mean? What are the chances?
"Explain it clearly. Not to mention us, my little brother, I don't understand either." Li Cheng approached Zhang Zhilin carelessly and put his arm around his shoulders.
Zhang Zhilin replied, "It's a chance to cater to their preferences and attract the judges."
Wei Ge was thinking from the perspective of creative content, which might not be what Zhang Zhilin said. As for what it was, everyone present except Wei Ge understood it immediately.
"I'll go, Weiwei, don't go, I'm scared." Xu Zhou grabbed Wei Ge's arm. Wei Ge looked confused, and then he heard Zhang Zhilin's voice coming from the side again.
"I heard he's a stern man who doesn't care for women. He's got hundreds of billions in assets and is incredibly capable, so no one can get close to him." Zhang Zhilin paused and added, "But someone has photographed him frequently going in and out of the Male Model Bar."
"Yes, I think I heard that he likes little boys like you who are delicate, weak and unable to take care of themselves the most." Xu Zhou suddenly approached Wei Ge and whispered.
Wei Ge paused, subconsciously pushing Xu Zhou away and moving away from him. "I'm just a contestant, and big shots like this should be fair and just. Don't worry about me."
"Why don't we go and take a look?" Li Cheng suddenly stood up and suggested.
"Where are you going?" Zhang Zhilin was puzzled.
"Let's go to his favorite male model bar and see if we can see that big shot." Li Cheng had a smile in his eyes, with a hint of sarcasm.
——
The dance floor at Cardino was crowded. Xing Zhao sat in a private room on the top floor drinking and looking out the window at the crowded booths outside.
There are as many people today as usual.
Ji Zeyu pushed open the door of the private room. Xing Zhao withdrew his gaze and saw that he was not bringing anyone else with him. His expression softened a little.
If he brings a few more male models to accompany him today, don't blame him for getting out of Cardino with his precious brothers.
This bar was originally opened by him, and he usually wanted to drink there alone.
Later, Ji Zeyu said he wanted to invest, and since the two had a good relationship, he agreed.
He was too busy with work for a few days and went on a business trip abroad for a month, and Cardino's reputation was inexplicably made famous by Ji Zeyu.
A famous male model bar in Lushui City.
It is called a male model bar, but in fact it is Ji Zeyu's harem. The male models recruited here are all the type that this guy likes.
It would be fine if he just ate alone, but he always squeezed into the box and wanted those boys to accompany him.
"What's going on today? I asked you to have dinner with me tonight, but you said you didn't have time, so you came here alone to drink." Ji Zeyu's tone was a bit teasing. He sat on the sofa opposite and took a sip of wine. "Are you annoyed with me? Or are you heartbroken?"
"I was stood up." Xing Zhao frowned, then returned to normal in an instant.
"Standing up?" Ji Zeyu's tone was a little shocked, and then he couldn't help laughing, "There are still people in Lushui who dare to stand up our Mr. Xing. They are asking for their lives."
Although Xing Zhao would not actually do anything, there were rumors about him that he killed people without blinking an eye and had a terrible personality.
He was too lazy to explain, so the news spread.
Almost everyone treated Xing Zhao with respect, except Ji Zeyu.
He grew up with Xing Zhao and knew almost everything about Xing Zhao's character and habits, but he didn't dare to joke with him too much.
Xing Zhao's expression was somewhat indifferent. Men are like that. Even though he was clearly upset, he still said, "I don't lack company."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door. "It's a bit stuffy in the room. I'm going downstairs to smoke a cigarette."
"What? You left as soon as I came!" Before Ji Zeyu finished his words, the door of the private room opened and closed, and only his voice was heard in the room.
Xing Zhao stood at the door of Cardino's smoking. Cars were coming and going in front of him, and a car that was about to fall apart was parked not far away.
The rear end of the car was crooked and the paint was almost worn off. The door opened and Li Cheng squeezed out from the passenger seat. He coughed a few times at the ground and turned back to shout towards the driver's seat.
"Lin Zi, this car of yours is shaking so much that I'm almost vomiting. It would be better if we had taken the subway." Li Cheng's voice was still a little weak. He was already a little carsick, and now it was even worse.
"I was hit by a car yesterday. I was in a hurry to welcome the new students today, so I drove directly to the school." Zhang Zhilin came out from the driver's seat, his voice flat as if he was talking about something very normal.
The door of the back seat of the car was also opened. Xu Zhou got out of the car first, opened the door and waited for Wei Ge to come out. He subconsciously put his hand on Wei Ge's shoulder.
"Are you okay? Are you carsick?" Xu Zhou asked.
"It's okay." Wei Ge waved his hand. Li Cheng stood aside, a little furious. "I'm worried! You forget your old love when you have a new one. I'm worried! I'm carsick!"
"Who cares about you." Xu Zhou glanced at Li Cheng. Wei Ge was amused by the way these two people interacted. He looked at Xu Zhou and motioned him to go and comfort Li Cheng.
The man in the shadow of the corner put out his cigarette, leaned against the wall and looked in Wei Ge's direction, but because it was too dark where he was, Wei Ge could not see him.
Maybe it was because Xing Zhao’s gaze was too direct, but Wei Ge subconsciously felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him.
He raised his head and saw a man standing in the direction of Catino's door. The man was very tall and half of his figure was hidden in the darkness.
"Weiwei, let's go!" Xu Zhou came over, put his arm around Wei Ge's shoulders and led him towards the Cardino Gate.
As Li Cheng passed by the door, he turned around and asked, "Do you think that pervert ARKI is really in this bar? This can't be his base for keeping male models, right?"
Xing Zhao raised his head and looked at Li Cheng, thinking that he must be talking about Ji Zeyu.
That guy is related to ARKI and is indeed a pervert.
But Wei Ge came to this kind of bar just after he became an adult, so no one really took him seriously.
Since he called him uncle, Xing Zhao must have the right to educate Wei Ge. Thinking of this, he threw the cigarette into the trash can beside him and walked straight into Cardino with his long legs.
The combined money of the boys couldn't even afford a booth at Catino, so they sat at the bar. Li Cheng pulled Zhang Zhilin and said, "Let's go to the dance floor."
"No, I'm not interested." Zhang Zhilin refused outright. He came here today just to see the legendary ARKI leader, otherwise he would never have agreed to let Li Cheng come to such a place.
"Xu Zhou, come with me." Seeing that Zhang Zhilin was not making sense, Li Cheng walked up to Xu Zhou and tugged at the corner of his clothes, with a rare pleading look on his face.
Xu Zhou couldn't stand Li Cheng's disgusting look, so he nodded impatiently. After asking Wei Ge if he would go, he whispered to Wei Ge before leaving, "You and Lin Zi sit here, we'll be back soon."
Wei Ge nodded, thinking that Xu Zhou really treated him as a child. Zhang Zhilin looked at the people coming and going, as if he was looking for something.
The music was blaring. He, who loved libraries, felt out of place in this environment and even felt a little irritated. "I'm going to the bathroom first."
Zhang Zhilin stood up and said something to Wei Ge, then walked towards the bathroom.
As soon as he left, a man in a suit came over and asked, "Are you alone?"
The man smiled, and Wei Ge saw him subconsciously shook his head, "No."
Wei Ge didn't say much to him. He had just drunk a few glasses of wine while eating hot pot, and his head was a little dizzy.
"College student?" The man didn't respond immediately, but sat down on a chair nearby. Seeing that Wei Ge was wary of him, he pulled out a business card from his chest pocket and said, "I'm not a bad guy. I'm Catino's manager, Liu Qi."
Wei Ge had no interest in who he was, but out of politeness, he still replied, "What's the matter?"
"Since you're here at our bar, you should know our reputation. I wanted to ask if you're interested in working here." Liu Qi smiled and pointed at the male models selling drinks in the booths. "Look, they're all college students too."
