Chapter 4 Naked Running, You Go
"......"
The private room was filled with many prominent figures from Jingang.
For example, the gold and silver managers of major banks and the vice presidents of the Zhou Group, all of whom were made to appear cautious and timid by the Shi Qing porcelain, would be treated as honored guests by ordinary merchants if any one of them were taken out alone.
Cheng Jia stood right in front of them.
Above them were the dazzling spotlights of the private room.
The air was filled with the smells of cigarettes, alcohol, and perfume. Thin wisps of cigar smoke hadn't yet dissipated, creating a smoky and chaotic atmosphere, but it was an environment Cheng Jia was used to.
"Cheng Jia," Shi Qingci called out softly.
Cheng Jia stood with her eyes downcast: "Yes, Mr. Shi."
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the man in black on the sofa to the side. The young master was leaning lazily against a cushion, his pale, slender fingers fiddling with his cufflinks, turning them askew.
It was as if Cheng Jia was being crushed.
"I heard that after you left Xining, you went into hiding under an assumed name and moved around to many places over the past five years. Were you hiding from your debts?" The man glanced at him with a sneer. "What, do you have debts in Xining?"
Shi Qingci's tone was very indifferent.
He was so nonchalant that those around him couldn't figure out his intentions and thought it was just an old classmate catching up.
The other people in the private room weren't familiar with Shi Qingci.
But as the host of tonight's banquet, and also Cheng Jia's superior, Chen Bin naturally had to say a few words.
Chen Bin eased the atmosphere and spoke gently to Cheng Jia.
“Xiao Cheng, you never said anything when we met. Now I always hear you mention that you have debts? How come you have such a thing? If you encounter any difficulties, just say so. Our Chairman Zhou cares about the lives of his employees the most.”
"That's right. When employees are happy in their lives, they can work with their full potential, and only then can the company thrive!" Someone chimed in, trying to show off. "Don't you agree, Mr. Shi?"
"......"
Shi Qingci looked at Cheng Jia with a half-smile.
Everyone was waiting for Cheng Jia to speak.
“...Ah,” Cheng Jia didn’t know what to say, “My family’s financial situation is not good, and it’s inevitable that we have debts. However, in the two years I’ve worked at Jinhe, I’ve paid off all my debts and now I’m living a good life. Please rest assured, leaders.”
Just pretend you don't know.
Even if this debt is not the same as that debt.
Chen Bin turned to observe Shi Zong's expression, but still could not discern any emotion.
He could only agree with Cheng Jia, saying, "That's good, that's good! Mr. Shi, you see, Xiao Cheng is very promising here. If Chairman Zhou knew that Xiao Cheng was your classmate, he would definitely promote him..."
"Cheng Jia," Shi Qingci interrupted Chen Bin without waiting for his reply, her gaze towards Cheng Jia even colder than before, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Life is good, so you've forgotten."
So I forgot.
Forget what?
The entire conversation was encrypted; only the two of them could understand it.
The atmosphere in the private room was deathly silent once again.
All eyes turned to Cheng Jia once again.
I'm getting a little annoyed by being watched.
Cheng Jia is usually a very patient person, but for some reason, tonight, faced with the endless indifference of this old acquaintance, he seemed to lack patience...
It's hard to suppress the irritability.
Cheng Jia calmed herself down and changed the subject: "Mr. Shi, you are a distinguished guest invited by Chairman Zhou tonight. Chairman Zhou has ordered that you be made to have a good time. Is there anything you would like to do? I will arrange it for you."
This time, everyone around them learned their lesson and didn't interrupt.
I'm not sure if this counts as catching up with old classmates.
Something feels off about the atmosphere.
"......"
“I heard you’re thriving at Jinhe. I rarely come to nightclubs, no wonder we haven’t run into each other,” Shi Qingci lowered her eyelids for a moment, then quickly looked up. “I don’t know anything about nightclub activities. Can you recommend something fun?”
The chewing gum in my mouth had hardened almost completely because I hadn't chewed it for so long.
When real disaster struck, Cheng Jia suddenly displayed a fearless and carefree attitude, no longer putting on airs.
He licked out his chewing gum, chewed it casually a few times, and grinned: "There are quite a few fun ones."
He then asked, "Mr. Shi, do you want to play with both meat and vegetarian food?"
Five years have passed.
Is she still so innocent?
Cheng Jia wasn't sure, so she decided to give it a try.
He tilted his head and stared at the young master's face.
Pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth.
"!" Several gasps rang out from inside the private room.
Because Cheng Jia's tone was too casual at that moment.
But everyone quickly realized what was happening.
Oh, my college classmate.
Since they're already familiar with each other, it's normal for the conversation to be a bit relaxed.
"I don't understand," Shi Qingci replied truthfully.
What are meat and vegetarian?
"......"
Still innocent.
Cheng Jia had been standing for too long, and it was inconvenient for her to speak because she was chewing bubble gum.
There was a trash can next to the sofa. He moved over, bent down and spat out his chewing gum, then naturally sat on the sofa armrest and turned to explain to President Shi.
"The vegetarian games are nothing more than drinking games, dice games, card games, singing, dancing, and word games. No touching or undressing is allowed, but hugging is permitted."
I work in marketing.
Proficiency in one's work is a fundamental skill.
"Oh, and there's more." Shi Qingci looked at Cheng Jia with great interest, her blood, which had been dormant for too long, stirring within her.
The atmosphere subtly heated up because of Cheng Jia's attitude of giving up the struggle.
He has been missing for five years.
This conman is still quite amusing.
Cheng Jia turned his head and glanced around. There were some vulgar words he couldn't say, but considering that everyone present was a respectable person, he thought for a moment before speaking: "There are also many 'dirty' items. In short, Mr. Shi can do whatever he wants."
They can clear out the private room and have sex with people, it's all fine.
The waiters will also thoughtfully stand guard at the door.
Of course, this is on the premise that both parties agree on a price and are willing to pay it.
You can't force yourself on someone.
"......"
When this topic was discussed, the most nervous person was Fei Fei.
Because she is Mr. Shi's date tonight, if Mr. Shi suggests any activity, whether it's erotic or vegetarian, she will accompany him.
She had already been helped up and was sitting on the sofa a little distance away from Shi Zong.
I've been quietly observing this important figure for a long time.
Meat...
It's not impossible.
“Streaking,” Shi Qingci glanced at the person sitting on the sofa armrest, purely on a whim. “The first floor seems quite lively, there’s a stage.”
The group extracted the keywords.
On stage, streaking.
"!" Fei Fei suddenly looked up.
Her cheeks, which had just flushed, suddenly turned pale.
She comes from a respectable family; her parents spent a lot of money to train her as a dancer. Although she's working as a hostess, she hopes to have a better career. This is her first time working as a hostess.
It's fine for two people to be alone in a room.
Running naked in public?
She can't afford to play this game.
Chen Bin was the first to react, and naturally offered his support: "Youth really makes a difference, Mr. Shi, you're in high spirits! Young lady, get ready..."
Add money, she can name any price.
We can't refuse the God of Wealth.
"Wait," Shi Qingci gestured, turned her head to the side, and looked directly at the armrest of the sofa. "Go."
He said to Cheng Jia.
"......"
Cheng Jia had long since stopped laughing.
Her lips were clenched, and her gaze met the man's without any attempt to look away.
Shi Qingci wanted him to run naked on stage.
That's pretty ruthless.
Young Master.
"!"
Everyone in the private room was stunned.
His gaze kept shifting between Cheng Jia and President Shi.
I wonder if I've misheard.
"...You, you mean," even a shrewd old fox like Chen Bin was taken aback, cautiously confirming, "you're sending Xiao Cheng? Xiao Cheng is..."
Shi Qingci nodded indifferently: "That's right."
Those two simple words sealed Cheng Jia's fate tonight.
The bright lights hurt Cheng Jia's eyes. He dug his fingertips into the leather sofa in the dark until they turned white, his gaze fixed on the man's handmade leather shoes.
This is the first time I've seen Shi Qingci wearing leather shoes.
Back then, they were so close that they would even swap sneakers.
Not just sneakers, but T-shirts too.
Once, when he came out of the dormitory to take a shower, he was shirtless. The innocent boy's ears turned red, and he grabbed a T-shirt and threw it at him, telling him to put his clothes on before coming out.
He even teased him with a laugh, "Young master, are you sure you want to? How about I let you touch it?"
"......"
And now, it's the same person.
Let him go streaking.
