Just as she was teasing him, Chu Yifan's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Chu Yifan felt a little strange, but he still pressed the answer button.
"May I ask who you are?"
"Is it Young Master Chu? I'm Ling Xiao. Are you free now? I'll treat you to a meal.”
Chu Yifan didn't expect it to be a call from Ling Xiao. On the way out of the police station yesterday, Zhao Wei had explained the ins and outs of the matter to him clearly. Chu Yifan didn't expect that the young man in the gray jacket yesterday was the son of the Municipal Party Secretary. Although he had the upper hand this time, Chu Yifan didn't want to make the relationship between Ling Xiao and him too tense. After all, he still had to live in Western Hubei for a period of time, and he couldn't ask his family for help every time. Thinking of this, Chu Yifan had the intention to make peace with the number one yamen of Western Hubei City.
"I've already finished my meal, but I still have to give Young Master Ling some face. Why don't we find a place to sit?”
"Sure, I'm at the 'Celebrity' hotel now. I wonder if Young Master Chu has time?”
" Alright." Chu Yifan thought for a while and said," I'll go over now."”
Chu Yifan turned off the phone and turned to Li Ping and the others."I'm sorry, I still have something urgent to do. I have to go first.”
Seeing Chu Yifan's sincere face, Jiang Jing and the others did not force him. Li Ping was a little worried and sent him all the way to the cashier.
"Are you really alright?" she asked with concern.
" It's fine, don't worry." Chu Yifan paid the bill first and turned to Li Ping." I'm really sorry about today. I'll treat you another day."”
"Alright, if you have something to do, go ahead. We have many opportunities to be together.”
After Ling Xiao put down the phone, he brought Pan Qiang, Li Yongguang, and the boss of " Celebrity " to the hotel entrance to wait. Pan Qiang and Li Yongguang were very confused by Ling Xiao's actions. They didn't understand why Ling Xiao, as the number one official in Western Hubei, would give this teacher called Chu Yifan so much face.
A silver-gray Citroen drove into the parking lot of the Celebrity Hotel. A bespectacled, slightly quiet man got out of the car.
Ling Xiao quickly went up to greet him.
"Young Master Chu, you're here."
"Young Master Ling, you're too polite." Since he had already promised Ling Xiao, Chu Yifan would give him face. He smiled and shook hands with Ling Xiao, exchanging pleasantries.
"Let me introduce you. This is Pan Qiang, the son of Director Pan of the Municipal People's Congress. This was Li Yongguang, the son of Secretary Li of the Municipal Law Committee. This was Mr. Lai, the general manager of Celebrity Hotel.”
Following Ling Xiao's introduction, Chu Yifan shook hands with Pan Qiang, Li Yongguang, and Lai Xiangdong.
Pan Qiang and Li Yongguang weren't the only ones who were wondering. Even Xiang Dong felt strange. He knew that Ling Xiao was an arrogant person. He didn't even care about the secretaries and directors of some important departments in Western Hubei, let alone ordinary people. Why would he be so respectful to an ordinary teacher?
"Welcome, Young Master Chu. Your arrival brings light to our humble home.”
"President Lai, you flatter me." Chu Yifan's behavior was neither servile nor overbearing, which made Lai Xiangdong a little more careful. He secretly made up his mind that after this matter was over, he would definitely ask Ling Xiao about this fellow's background.
"Young Master Chu, I've already asked CEO Lai to make the arrangements. Have some tea, have some supper, and find two ladies to massage you.”
"Young Master Ling, you're welcome."
"Young Master Chu, please." Lai Xiangdong made an inviting gesture and led the way.
There were already more than ten appetizers in the private room. Although the portion was not much, it was exquisite and luxurious, showing the sincerity of the owner. The wine was a rare 82 Lafite.
"Young Master Chu, I didn't expect you to be a Lian. My shoulder is still bruised.”A moderate amount of complaints quickly shortened the distance between the host and guest. Chu Yifan realized that Ling Xiao was not a complete idiot. He was very experienced in dealing with people.
"I've offended you. Please forgive me." Chu Yifan cupped his hands. Actually, when he attacked, Chu Yifan held back a little. His attack on Ling Xiao, Pan Qiang, Li Yongguang, and the others was far different from Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's. His goal was to stop them from continuing to commit crimes, and he did not want to create too deep a grudge. Ling Xiao also understood this logic. Moreover, the ones who suffered were his own side, which was why he dared to put this sensitive topic on the table.
" Young Master Chu, we've become friends through fighting. Since we're friends, I won't treat you as outsiders. At least in Western Hubei, as long as you need a brother, just say the word." Ling Xiao raised his wine glass." Cheers."”
Chu Yifan didn't dare to be negligent, and the two of them downed their drinks.
"Since we're friends, Young Master Ling shouldn't keep calling me 'Young Master Chu'. Just call me Yifan.”The term "Young Master Chu" was not a good title for his second brother, Chu Yiming.
"Since that's the case, I'll call you 'brother'. Yifan, you don't want Young Master Ling either.”
"Awesome, awesome. Then I'll call you Brother Ling.”
The two clinked glasses again.
Since Ling Xiao had already expressed his stance, Pan Qiang and Li Yongguang did not dare to fall behind. The two of them clashed with Chu Yifan one after another.
"Brother Chu, Young Master Ling and I have always been friends. Keep in touch in the future, and I will give you a toast.”As a businessman, Lai Xiangdong was naturally more capable than Pan Qiang and Li Yongguang. Not only did he have a drink with Chu Yifan, but he also took the initiative to give out the hotel's VIP card. Chu Yifan didn't stand on ceremony. Regardless of whether he would come to spend money or not, he still had to give face.
The atmosphere became more harmonious. If an outsider came in at this time, they would really think that this table was filled with old friends who had not seen each other for many years. It was simply unimaginable that they were still at daggers drawn yesterday. It seemed that this Ling Xiao was indeed quite capable.
The bottle of Lafite was quickly finished.
Ling Xiao gave Xiang Dong a look and said,""Since Yifan has already had a drink, I won't force him. I'll only have this bottle today and find a few ladies to massage him to sober him up.”
After a while, the door of the private room opened. Lai Xiangdong walked in with four young girls. The four girls were all around twenty years old and were very beautiful.
"Brother Yifan, after you."
"Brother Ling, you go first." Chu Yifan did not expect Ling Xiao to have such a trick up his sleeve.
"You're the guest. You go first." Ling Xiao insisted.
Since things had come to this, Chu Yifan couldn't decline anymore. He randomly picked a girl with a ponytail.
After Chu Yifan finished ordering, Ling Xiao, Pan Qiang, and Li Yongguang also ordered.
"The room has been arranged." Lai Xiangdong handed the room cards to Chu Yifan and the others. Chu Yifan took a look. His room number was 2010.
Everyone walked out of the private room one by one and went to their own rooms.
This was a standard single room, decorated extremely luxuriously, giving off the feeling of a nouveau riche. Ling Xiao's arrangement today gave Chu Yifan a new understanding of him. This guy was a character, not a complete idiot. To be fair, Chu Yifan couldn't do this. He had just been beaten up yesterday and lost face. Even if he didn't have any grievances, he wouldn't return evil with good. He would treat them to a meal and bring a lady along. This was quite a high standard.
"Sir, please take off your clothes.”The girl who had been following behind him suddenly said, interrupting Chu Yifan's thoughts.
Ever since they left the room, Chu Yifan had not said a single word to the young lady, nor had he made any ambiguous moves. To be honest, he had long lost interest in such a romantic occasion.
Chu Yifan didn't take off his clothes. He just sat on the soft bed and lit a cigarette. Only then did he look at the girl seriously.
The girl had an oval-shaped face, large eyes, a small, rosy mouth, a strong nose bridge, and exquisite facial features. He was about 1.70 cm tall, with fair skin and a slim waist. He was slightly thin, but he was not thin where he should be fat. According to Chu Yifan's standards, she was a middle-class beauty.
"What's your name?" Chu Yifan crossed his legs and asked.
"Little Red." The girl was a little shy as she lowered her head and whispered.
This was definitely a fake name. In this line of work, very few people showed their real names.
"How old are you?" Chu Yifan asked again.
“20。”
"What did your boss tell you?”Chu Yifan wanted to test Ling Xiao's trump card.
The girl's face suddenly turned red. She hesitated for a while before saying in a low voice,""Boss told me to serve you well and satisfy any of your requests.”
Chu Yifan was originally planning to leave after sitting for a while, but when he saw the girl's bashful expression, he suddenly had the thought of playing a prank.
"Can I do anything?”
The girl's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and subconsciously fiddled with the hem of her clothes.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and take it off!"
The girl hesitated for a moment before taking off her coat, revealing the red sweater inside.
The sweater was short and tight, and it wrapped around her body tightly, making her chest even higher.
Chu Yifan didn't say a word as he stared at the girl's chest.
Although the girl had her head lowered, she could still feel Chu Yifan's burning gaze.
She gritted her teeth and took off her sweater under Chu Yifan's gaze.
The girl was only wearing a lacy white shirt.
"Continue taking off your clothes!" Chu Yifan pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
The girl's body was trembling. She hesitated for a long time before her trembling hands reached for the buttons of her shirt.
After the two buttons on her chest were unbuttoned, a snow-white patch was revealed.
" I'm just joking with you." Chu Yifan suddenly stood up and picked up the red sweater that the girl had placed on the bed. He smiled and said," Put it on. The weather is cold. Don't catch a cold."”
The girl raised her head and looked at Chu Yifan. Her eyes were filled with gratitude and suspicion, and her eyes were filled with two crystals.
After waiting for the girl to put on her clothes, Chu Yifan asked,""What do you do? Why are you doing this?"
The girl suddenly began to shake her shoulders and sob…
Gui Xiaolei was a second-year student at the Western Hubei tourism school. Due to her poor family background, the self-reliant Gui Xiaolei insisted on working part-time to complete her studies. In the beginning, she only did some tutoring and distributing advertising flyers. Her income was very low and unstable, so she could not afford the high tuition fees at all. Helpless, she could only go to hotels and brothels with a few female classmates as a hostess and do some massage work. At first, the sisters could still stick to their bottom line, but soon, the cruel reality shattered their dreams. The female companions lost themselves in the face of money and began to show off. Only Gui Xiaolei was still struggling to stick to her bottom line under the ridicule of her female companions.
This afternoon, Mr. Lai suddenly called Gui Xiaolei over and told her that there were a few important guests that night. He told her to serve them wholeheartedly and to satisfy their requests unconditionally. Of course, Gui Xiaolei understood the meaning behind his words. She rejected President Lai. President Lai flew into a rage and threatened her that if she didn't agree this time, he would fire her. He also told her not to dream of finding any other job in Western Hubei.
Gui Xiaolei was well aware of this President Lai's power and knew that he was not threatening her. Gui Xiaolei didn't want to give up this job that paid well. She knew that if she offended Mr. Lai, she might not be able to find another job in Western Hubei. After CEO Lai left, Gui Xiaolei cried for a long time. She thought of her parents who worked hard in her hometown, the humiliation she suffered when she worked, and the extravagant life of the rich. She couldn't help but hate them even more. In front of the behemoth society, a weak woman was really too small. She was as small as a speck of dust and could be easily swallowed.
She cried for a long time, but she still agreed to Mr. Lai against her will.
After being pointed out by Chu Yifan, Gui Xiaolei had been secretly peeping at him. From his appearance, he looked very young. He was probably not much older than her, and his appearance was passable. However, this was all on the surface. Who knew what evil was hidden behind his gentle face? Gui Xiaolei had heard from her girlfriends that some of the customers were extremely perverted. They treated the women like playthings and used all sorts of tricks to torture them. Thinking about what was about to happen, Gui Xiaolei couldn't help but tremble and feel uneasy.
As expected, the moment she entered the room, the young man began to humiliate her and made her take off her clothes in front of him. The immense shame and hatred made Gui Xiaolei's mind go blank. When the man asked her to unbutton her shirt, she even had the heart to die.
However, at this moment, something unbelievable happened. When he smiled at her and said," I'm just joking with you," Gui Xiaolei's eyes instantly welled up with tears. There was doubt and shame in her tears, but more than that, there was gratitude! She was grateful to this strange man for protecting her innocence.
" I still have something to do and have to leave soon. You can rest here for the night," the man said to her considerately." If they ask about it tomorrow, just say that we've already…um…done it."”
Chu Yifan's words made Gui Xiaolei blush.
The man walked out of the room and seemed to have thought of something. He stopped and turned to her, saying,"My name is Chu Yifan. If someone asks you to come out in the future, just say that you're my woman.”
After Chu Yifan left, Gui Xiaolei was still mulling over his words." You're my woman.”These domineering words made Gui Xiaolei feel a little warm in the bleak early spring. She understood that this man called Chu Yifan was using his influence to protect her innocence to the greatest extent.
Gui Xiaolei closed the door and went to the window. Through the gap in the curtains, she silently watched Chu Yifan get into the car and leave.
"Thank you!" Gui Xiaolei said gratefully as she looked at his back. This man gave her not only innocence, but also faith---that this society was not all darkness, there was still sunshine.
