As Fei Hu was lost in thought, the woman sitting on the sofa stood up and walked directly towards him, smiling as she said, "It seems you don't recognize me anymore, but I remember you. I'm Zhang Jia, from Hong Kong. Last time, you caused a scene at my bar and broke several tables and chairs." As she spoke, she extended her fair hand.
Fei Hu suddenly realized and recalled the incident. He quickly took her hand and said, "Hello! I'm really sorry. You must have become more beautiful, so I didn't recognize you at first."
"Hahaha! You've improved! Last time we talked, you weren't this composed. Now you know how to say nice things to make a woman happy. Not bad! Come sit here! Let's eat and chat," Zhang Jia said, inviting Fei Hu to sit beside her.
Since she was so generous, Fei Hu felt there was no need to be overly formal. He smiled and began joking with Zhang Jia. Being a star in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, she must have some charm. After sitting next to her, Fei Hu noticed that her outfit was actually a hollow design; upon closer inspection, many sensitive areas were subtly visible, especially her chest, which not only stood proudly but also revealed a significant portion of her figure.
Just as Fei Hu was admiring her, Bald Zhang, seemingly either hungry or just curious, suddenly asked, "Miss Zhang, shouldn't we order the food?"
"Yes, yes! Quickly call for the food and bring over a good bottle of wine. Let's enjoy ourselves tonight. Last time was too rushed; it was indeed a bit regrettable. We'll make up for it tonight," Zhang Jia said with a slightly flirtatious smile towards Fei Hu. Her smile made him shiver involuntarily; what was she trying to do? They weren't very familiar with each other—how could she be so forward? Fei Hu began to feel cautious.
To find a topic to discuss, Fei Hu smiled and said, "Miss Zhang is truly impressive. The bar you opened before was very popular, and now you've opened this dance hall. It seems like you're making money hand over fist."
"Hahaha! I hope so! But I still need everyone's support in the future; it's all about making money together! The industries you've been involved in before—I bought them all when I had cash flow issues. Now that I have money again, I've come back with a bigger investment: this dance hall, the bar, and even hotels—all interconnected. It's quite exhausting," Zhang Jia said with a hint of helplessness as she shook her head.
At that moment, all the dishes and drinks arrived at once—this was the advantage of dining at a big hotel. Bald Zhang immediately stood up to pour wine, and the three of them laughed heartily as they toasted their first glass. Just as Bald Zhang was about to pour a second glass, Fei Hu gave him a glance; no matter how good the wine was, he needed to understand the purpose behind drinking it. He wasn't an elite or a business tycoon, nor was he a star like Zhang Jia. She wouldn't be so kind as to invite him for dinner without reason.
Women can sometimes be smarter than men. Seeing that Fei Hu didn't want Bald Zhang to pour him more wine, Zhang Jia chuckled and said, "It seems you're still wary of me. Do you think I could eat you alive just because I'm a woman?" As she spoke, she snatched the glass from Fei Hu's hand and filled it up.
Feeling slightly embarrassed by her words, Fei Hu smiled and replied, "That's not it; I just wondered why such a big star would invite an ordinary person like me..."
"What big star? People outside say I've sold my looks; I'm just an entertainer at best. So what if I'm an entertainer? At least I have the capital to create things that people enjoy watching. As long as I can make money from it, let them say what they want! I don't care at all," Zhang Jia said as she poured herself another glass of wine and clinked it with Fei Hu, downing it in one go.
Such a woman is indeed rare. She is unreserved about these sensitive topics, much better than those who speak inconsistently. Fei Hu couldn't help but glance at Zhang Jia a couple more times; it's not easy to make a living out there.
After two drinks, the conversation began to flow. Zhang Jia noticed that Fei Hu's mood was gradually being lifted, and she smiled slightly as she said, "There’s a problem I need to discuss. The nightclub and bar I manage lack capable assistants, especially in terms of overseeing the venue. As business continues to improve, I believe troublemakers will soon come knocking. I’ve heard some things about you from Mr. Zhang, and I really like you. I’d like to invite you to help manage things here. What do you think?"
This woman certainly knows how to speak; helping manage is just another way of saying 'hired muscle,' right? Fei Hu was taken aback for a moment, unsure of how to respond.
Zhang Jia leaned closer to Fei Hu and said, "As long as you come on board, the benefits will be exceptional. I won’t shortchange you. I heard from Mr. Zhang that you seem to have some connections with the Dragon Tiger Gang in City A. Isn’t that even better? As long as you make your name known here, it doesn’t matter whether you show up or not; I’ll still pay you."
Upon hearing this, Fei Hu felt a surge of resentment towards Bald Zhang for spilling his business.
Seeing that Fei Hu was silent, Bald Zhang grew anxious. He quickly stood up, poured a drink for Fei Hu, and with a smile said, "Boss, it’s my fault for not mentioning this to you earlier, but Miss Zhang really wants you to consider it! As long as you step forward, the rest can be handled by my underlings; you won’t need to get involved." Bald Zhang looked desperate; if Fei Hu got angry and left, it would be a huge embarrassment for him.
"Ah Hu! Is there something difficult for you to say? If so, just let me and Mr. Zhang know. If you're truly facing difficulties, I won’t force you into this role, but we can still remain good friends," Zhang Jia said gently while lightly patting Fei Hu's back with her delicate hand.
This woman is indeed impressive; her words and actions made it hard for Fei Hu to resist. He genuinely wanted to agree right away, but given his current situation, it was extremely unfavorable for him. He felt like a rat in the street and didn’t dare take on the responsibility of overseeing things here; wouldn’t that just bring trouble? This damn Bald Zhang set up such a meal that made it hard for anyone to eat.
Time passed slowly as Fei Hu analyzed the situation. After weighing everything carefully, he finally gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Jia, "Miss Zhang, I truly cannot accept your kind offer; I'm really sorry. You should find someone else."
"Why not? You have to give me a reason! I’m sincerely trying to invite you; you can’t just dismiss it like that. Besides, I'm offering high pay; even among friends helping each other out, you shouldn’t be so heartless!" A woman who could run such a large establishment is certainly not simple; her words were all reasonable and made Fei Hu feel increasingly agitated.
Bald Zhang thought this would be simple; his intention was to surprise Fei Hu since he had nothing else going on at the moment. Working here would be far better than being a security guard at Weisheng. Unexpectedly, Fei Hu wasn’t pleased at all, which made Bald Zhang somewhat unhappy too; this young man was being quite unreasonable.
Fei Hu sensed the discomfort between Bald Zhang and Zhang Jia. He took a deep breath and said, "The reason I’m declining isn’t because I don’t want to give face. Some time ago, I got into some trouble and have several issues on my hands right now; people are looking for me everywhere. I'm afraid that coming here would bring unnecessary trouble for Miss Zhang."
"Alright! I thought you looked down on me and didn't want to come here. This isn't a major incident; just come over! Hold up the scene here, and let Mr. Zhang take his people to handle it. As for whether it's troublesome or not, I don't care at all. Running an entertainment venue comes with troubles anyway; one trouble is a trouble, ten or eight troubles are still troubles. When there are too many lice, you don't feel the itch anymore; I'm not afraid," Zhang Jia said, laughing heartily. Fei Hu didn't expect this woman to be so generous.
As soon as Bald Zhang saw that Fei Hu had nothing to say, he immediately raised his glass and said with a smile, "Cheers to our pleasant cooperation!" Fei Hu had no choice but to raise his glass and clink it with Zhang Jia's, drinking down the cup of wine he was reluctant to have.
Seeing that Fei Hu had tacitly agreed to the matter, Zhang Jia happily said, "No need to drink more; I'll take you downstairs to visit our dance hall. After that, we'll go to our karaoke room where everyone can sing and have fun. As for the details of this cooperation, I'll discuss them with Mr. Zhang, and Ah Hu will oversee it." The way Zhang Jia kept mentioning Ah Hu made Fei Hu's heart soften a bit.
When a big star goes to a dance hall, it creates quite a stir. As soon as they entered the elevator, several of Zhang Jia's personal bodyguards were already standing by. Fei Hu couldn't help but sigh inwardly; this was the difference between people.
No wonder even taxi drivers know that business here is booming. The large lift stage was packed with people dancing energetically to the explosive music, shouting and waving their hands. As soon as Fei Hu stepped in, he felt his blood boiling and found himself unconsciously moving along.
With bodyguards clearing the way in front, Zhang Jia led Fei Hu and Bald Zhang up to the semi-open VIP room on the second floor. Here, they could still feel the same atmosphere from below; the difference was that there were only a few of them.
As soon as the boss arrived, the staff immediately brought drinks. Perhaps due to having had some alcohol, Zhang Jia appeared particularly excited. She shouted loudly, "Come on, Ah Hu, drink! After we finish drinking, let's dance!" Saying that, she downed a small bottle of beer in one go without any airs of a big star. Fei Hu felt she was no different from an ordinary woman.
The lighting in the dance hall was dim, and everyone was immersed in the energetic music, so no one noticed that the one dancing on the second floor was none other than the popular Great Star Zhang Jia; otherwise, chaos would have ensued.
Once Zhang Jia started dancing, her bodyguards quickly occupied both sides of the passageway, appearing very professional.
Bald Zhang raised his bottle and pulled Fei Hu to dance beside Zhang Jia. At first, Fei Hu felt a bit shy, but as he continued dancing, he gradually got into the rhythm of the music.
After one song ended, suddenly the lights in the dance hall brightened. Someone with sharp eyes shouted from below: "Zhang Jia! Zhang Jia is upstairs!" The scene instantly descended into chaos.
