36: Bar Dilemma 

 As the saying goes, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace after being married for a day. Especially after listening to Leng Yao talking about Yang Jiarui's life experience, Jiangnan had already regarded her as his girlfriend in his heart.

  In the morning, Jiangnan was lying on the bed with Yang Jiarui in his arms, whispering something to her. Shanshan called. Jiangnan put on his slippers and went to the window to answer the call. He quietly lowered the volume of his phone and asked, "What's the matter? In broad daylight?"

  "Tsk, brother, I didn't see you care about us that much at night? Are you busy now?"

  Jiangnan turned his head to look at Yang Jiarui who was getting dressed on the bed, coughed twice, and said in a serious tone, "Ah, don't rush to talk."

  "Why don't you come over? I'm inviting Chaoyang to lunch at noon and asked that little bitch Nana to come, but she won't go. Can you come and keep him company for me?" Shanshan asked Jiangnan.

  To be honest, Jiangnan was a little reluctant, because in CB, he was nominally in charge of the beauties. It seemed that Shanshan knew very well who had the final say in CB.

  After hanging up the phone, Jiangnan didn't even wash up. He said to Yang Jiarui while getting dressed, "Something's going on at the bar. I'll go over there."

  Yang Jiarui was a little unhappy. She jumped off the bed, took out a small pink wallet, took out a few red bills from it and handed them to Jiangnan. "I was thinking of buying you a piece of clothing today. Just buy whatever you like."

  Jiangnan pouted and laughed, "What's the matter? You're planning to keep a gigolo even though you haven't made any money yet? It's okay. I have my own money. Besides, a grown man just needs to have some clothes to wear."

  Just arrived at the hotel where Shanshan and Chaoyang had agreed to meet, Shanshan was stomping her feet outside the private room waiting for Jiangnan, "Hey, brother, why are you more dawdling than a woman?"

  Jiangnan was pushed into the private room by Shanshan, "Chaoyang hasn't come yet?"

  "It's almost time. I'll treat him to a meal. He doesn't know you're here, so you can help me." When Shanshan said this, Jiangnan immediately understood, "Why did you think of inviting him to a meal? Didn't you arrange for you to perform?"

  "Not really..." Shanshan took the teapot and poured tea for Jiangnan.

  Jiangnan grinned and glanced at Shanshan, "If not, then Chaoyang must want to sleep with you?"

  Shanshan neither nodded nor shook her head. "I just feel that since we are all working together, it would not be good if things become too awkward."

  Jiangnan snorted softly and looked at Shanshan meaningfully, "Hey, tell me what's going on?"

  Shanshan looked out the window and saw that the sun had not risen yet, so she told Jiangnan.

  It turns out that when Shanshan came to CB, she started out as a waitress just like Nana. In Nana's words, how much money can a waitress make? CB is not a very big place, and the customers are very picky. Normally, the money is paid directly to the beauties, and no one cares about the waitresses. However, if you want to work as a prostitute, you must have one year of work experience in CB. Of course, there is one exception, and that is if you perform well. Performance is not something that can be achieved just by a word from the leader.

  So, one day, Shanshan found Chaoyang and told him how she was short of money and how she wanted to go public. She made a lot of guarantees, but Chaoyang ignored her. After listening to Shanshan, he finally said simply and directly that if the company was to go public, they must first try out the technology so that the leaders could point out any deficiencies and make improvements.

  Shanshan was very short of money at the time, and she thought that she would be fucked by men in the future anyway, so it didn't matter if she was fucked once more. When she understood Chaoyang's meaning, she locked the office door, untied her low-cut dress and sat on the desk. Chaoyang didn't want to wear a condom, but Shanshan refused no matter what he said. She was unhappy because she knew that Chaoyang must have slept with many girls and was afraid that he would get some disease, but she didn't dare to say it. She could only say that she was afraid of getting pregnant because she was on her period.

  Love is just like taking drugs, once you do it you want it a second time. Shanshan later became more and more popular in CB. She has been in the prostitute business for only three years. When customers get tired of it, no one will order your table. Just as several beautiful girls in CB were retiring, Shanshan took advantage of this opportunity and became the number one figure in CB.

  Originally, he thought he was awesome enough and didn't need to curry favor with Chaoyang anymore, but who knew Chaoyang was such a scoundrel and insidious. When he saw Shanshan was about to get up, he was afraid that he would not have free sex in the future. Sometimes when customers ordered Shanshan, he would always tell the customers behind her back that Shanshan had already performed or had asked for leave. That's why Jiangnan sometimes saw Shanshan was freer than Nana.

  "Brother, if you can say a few good words for me later, I'll accept it even if you have to give him some money." Shanshan said, leaning on Jiangnan's shoulder.

  Jiangnan scratched his head and glanced at Shanshan, "You didn't sleep with me just for this, did you?"

  "Pa!" Shanshan slapped Jiangnan on the back, "Of course not, I only sleep with men I like. Who would have thought that my brother had already been reserved by Sister Na?"

  "Stop talking nonsense, our sister Na..."

  "What's wrong with Nana?" Chaoyang pushed the door open and said.

  Shanshan was smart. She helped Chaoyang hang his coat and handbag on the hanger and pulled the stool away for Chaoyang. "Where is it? Is Sister Na causing any trouble recently?"

  Chaoyang laughed, took out a cigarette and threw it to Jiangnan, then lit it himself, "Nana, just leave it, CB will support you as a free person."

  Jiangnan also responded with two dry laughs. After being in contact with them for a long time, he knew that every nightclub has a bunch of idle people, from the guys who look after the place to the leaders of some related departments, they are all idle people, but they can't be offended. Take the small hooligans for example, don't look down on them, if they do a little bit of bad things to you, it's enough to make the whole place drink a bottle of wine.

  "Jiangnan, let's eat quickly. President Liu and President Han are waiting at the bar. Let's discuss something." Chaoyang said, picking up the chopsticks to pick up the food without hesitation.

  Shanshan winked at Jiangnan vigorously. It seemed that Chaoyang didn't mention Shanshan at all when he saw Jiangnan here. Shanshan didn't want to let this meal go to waste. She might as well buy herself a set of Estee Lauder with the money.

  "Haha, Brother Yang, has Shanshan had fewer performances recently?" Jiangnan said straight to the point.

  Chaoyang smacked his food, "Jiangnan, you haven't been to the bar often recently, so you don't know that business is not as good as before. Not to mention that Shanshan is one of our own, many of the newly recruited beauties can't perform. We were just going to discuss this this afternoon."

  Jiangnan nodded and thought to himself, damn it, even if business is bad, why should I owe Shanshan this little bit of platform fee?

  During the meal, no one mentioned Shanshan again. After the meal, Jiangnan went to CB with Chaoyang. Liu Tao and Han Sifang were chatting in a booth, and a few idle waiters were chatting at the bar.

  "Chaoyang, Xiaojiang, come here quickly. I was just about to call you two." Han Sifang raised his eyelids and saw Jiangnan and Chaoyang.

  Jiangnan coughed twice and said, "President Han is here too."

  "Well, haha, your CEO Liu called me early this morning and said that the city was cracking down severely. So I called the leader to ask, but it turned out that we had nothing to do with it. Your CEO Liu was worrying about nothing. I was afraid that she would be worried, so I came over to take a look." Han Sifang patted Liu Tao's shoulder in a swaggering manner, making Jiangnan want to chop off his claws.

  "It's not a matter of severe beating. We called everyone here to discuss it. Everyone has seen the recent situation of CB. Old Han, you don't care about it. Find a chance to bring two big clients here for me." Liu Tao said to Han Sifang in a slightly coquettish tone, without hiding the presence of Jiangnan and Chaoyang. Of course, everyone in the bar knew about the relationship between the two, but only Jiangnan and Han Sifang could hear the insincerity of Liu Tao's words.

  "Well, the key is that we don't have many fresh and beautiful girls here. Even if there are big bosses, they won't keep these ladies. Liu Tao, you still need to work harder on the girls." Han Sifang glanced at Liu Tao and said.

  Liu Tao frowned and nodded, "Where can you find so many women? Besides, the competition in this street is so fierce now. If I don't give them a good price, who would be willing to come? Let's wait and see."

  The "fresh beauties" that Han Sifang mentioned are actually female college students, and Nana is that standard.

  Big bosses or people of status will not protect young ladies. They all like to play with female students and white-collar workers.

  There is a rule in nightclubs that women who are protected by the bosses are rarely touched by others and they are out to get involved. To put it bluntly, the bar provides a platform for the bosses, and they come over to have sex when they have nothing to do. The commission income comes faster than other incomes.

  "Let me take care of this matter. I have quite a few friends in Beijing who run business establishments. It won't be a problem to borrow some beauties from them. I'll make a phone call and ask about this tomorrow," said Han Sifang.

  Liu Tao nodded, holding the wine glass in his hand and glancing at Chaoyang, "Chaoyang, do you have any suggestions?"

  Chaoyang had a gloomy face and didn't say anything. He looked up at the two bosses and scratched his head, "I don't have any other choice. I'll see if I can attract new customers."

  Liu Tao snorted lightly and didn't say anything else.

  Liu Tao knew all too well about those cat-sick people in Chaoyang. They said they were from the CB bar, but they were secretly entangled with Feng He and others.

  And people like Chaoyang certainly won't work in vain. It is his job to attract customers to CB, but he will get commissions if he introduces customers to other bars. He keeps all these in mind.

  Han Sifang also had a fake smile on his face. He stood up without saying anything else and said, "Okay, this is my fault. Don't be so sad. It's impossible for business to be good every day. Just grit your teeth and get through it. Xiao Jiang, come out with me. I have something to tell you."

  Jiangnan was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed Han Sifang and shrugged at Liu Tao and Chaoyang on the sofa, indicating that he was innocent. However, Jiangnan also had some idea about what Han Sifang had called him in private.

  Sure enough, just after leaving the cb door, Han Sifang saw that there was no one around, so he said, "Xiao Jiang, your relationship with my wife must be good recently. I think she is much happier and younger these days. It's all thanks to you, haha."

  Jiang Nan chuckled and said, "President Han means that I can accept it?"

  Han Sifang shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. This check is for your temporary expenses during this period. It helps me to keep her for a while. I also want to take your relationship to the next level. It was fine a few days ago. Maybe you haven't paid enough attention to her these past few days. She doesn't go out often."

  Jiangnan coughed twice, "Oh, Han is always like this. I just started school recently and I have other things to do at school."

  After saying that, he turned to look at Han Sifang, "You want to go a step further? What do you mean?"

  Han Sifang looked at Jiang Nan and said, "Haha, I heard from Chaoyang that you are a college student, but you two will always feel a little restrained in Jiangling alone. Now CB's business is not very prosperous, I plan to propose to the board of directors that you go to Beijing. My friend there can help me contact a group of new girls, and I can also take the opportunity to learn the advanced experience of the nightclubs there."
