Chapter 23: The Ultimate Guide to Picking Up Girls

"What?" Cao Zheng, who had been listening to the two talking from the side, finally couldn't hold back. He slapped his forehead and said, "I knew it! No wonder she's dancing so hard—this bar must be her family's!"

At this moment, the seductive dance had already ended, and the four members of the mysterious girl group had also left the stage. However, Cao Zheng felt as if a certain string in his heart had been plucked hard. He was pondering whether he should choose a time when no one was paying attention, find a small corner where no one knew him, and then do something that any normal man would need to do.

"I still don't believe it!"After Zhao Ping'an finished the half bottle of beer in one go, he suddenly stood up and headed towards the back of the bar.

As the saying goes, alcohol can give you courage. During this period, he has been holding back too much anger. He thought that after the launch of the first product, there would be a flurry of orders and a rise in online reputation. However, in reality, ever since the S1 was released, he hasn't had a single day without feeling frustrated. Just thinking about it makes him furious. Now, even finding a model is looked down upon by others, and he is on the verge of exploding

Backstage at the bar, after resting for a while following an intense workout, Zheng Xiling picked up her vintage CHANEL bag and was about to leave. Just then, a man suddenly appeared in front of her personal dressing room—well, a man reeking of alcohol and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, a total loser.

"A Qiang!"For Zheng Xiling, this kind of thing was nothing new. Every few days, there would always be a couple of self-righteous guys showing up, like flies that you just couldn't swat away. Without changing her expression, she called out, summoning her own sisters.

"Lin Jie, I'm here!"A man nearly 1.9 meters tall, wearing a black tank top that revealed his muscular physique honed in the gym, appeared before her like a whirlwind upon hearing the call.

"Kid, what do you want to do?"This guy glared at Zhao Ping'an angrily and said with a hostile expression.

Zhao Ping'an looked up at him, always feeling that there was something off about this guy whose face was so clean that not a single stubble could be found. However, his muscles were indeed solid, so he quickly stated his intention: "Miss Zheng, sorry to bother you, I would like to discuss a business deal with you."

"But I don't want to talk to you."Zheng Xiling had no desire to continue listening and waved her hand at the person she called A Qiang.

After receiving the signal, A Qiang said sternly, "Are you going to walk on your own, or do you want me to escort you?"

Hey! I'm really losing my temper here!Zhao Ping'an got angry on the spot, "Miss Zheng, I really came to discuss the acquisition with you!"

"Sorry, even if you plan to acquire Alibaba next, it has nothing to do with me."

Obviously, Zheng Xiling still took him for one of those lecherous types. She was well aware of those guys' storytelling abilities; last time, some uncle even said he could grant her superpowers, and the method was quite simple—spending the night together once.

"Did you hear that? Get lost already!"

Ah Qiang finished speaking and reached out his strong hand towards Zhao Ping'an, but at that moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and the situation instantly reversed. The sudden appearance of the fierce person was like an eagle catching a chick, grabbing his outstretched hand and almost lifting him off the ground. He felt as if his arm had suddenly been clamped by an iron pincer, leaving him with no ability to resist at all.

"Do you have my permission to touch him?"Li Fugui glanced at him and said lightly. However, that gentle tone, when it reached the ears of the three people present, suddenly exuded a sense of overwhelming dominance.

There was such a commotion here that many people from the backstage came over. The other three members of the Mystery Girls saw their leader being bullied and all rushed over in a swarm, forming a wave-like wall of people that cornered our Fortune Brother.

"Hey! What are you doing? Don't scare him!"Seeing this, A Qiang quickly stepped in front of Li Fugui. In the blink of an eye, this guy actually changed his stance for no reason at all, and even his tone of voice seemed to have changed as if he were a different person. Zhao Ping'an and Li Fugui felt a chill run down their spines.

When the sisters saw his demeanor, they all showed knowing expressions, then looked at the bewildered Li Fugui with meaningful glances.

"Get lost!"A Qiang groped him all over, as if checking for injuries. Li Fugui felt his hair stand on end and couldn't stand the strange sensation any longer. He raised his fist and knocked him out cold.

"Hey! Big guy, what are you doing?"This clueless demeanor naturally angered several of the sisters, all of whom glared at him with righteous indignation. "Don't worry, he won't be in any trouble. Let's talk about serious matters."Zhao Ping'an stepped in at the right moment to help him out, looked at Zheng Xiling and said, then expressed his intention to invite them to participate in ChinaJoy.

"Zhao Xianren, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."Zheng Xiling wasn't unreasonable either. After realizing that Zhao Ping'an wasn't the person she had imagined, she first apologized and then said with a smile, "But you should know that if we really wanted to participate, we would have gone long ago."

Her implication was very clear: we simply disdain to participate. Who cares about a few thousand bucks on that day?

"I know, but my invitation is different."Zhao Ping'an said with a serious expression, then leaned in slightly closer, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, and threw out the conditions he had long wanted to propose.

After hearing this, Zheng Xiling's deep blue eyes couldn't help but light up with a strange color, and she looked at him in surprise, "Are you sure?"

Zhao Ping'an nodded. No one knew what he said to Zheng Xiling, but with just one sentence, this mixed-race beauty, who had been targeted by countless talent agencies and scouts for a long time, was pulled into the industry without any hesitation.

...

"Brother, my dear brother! For the sake of my happiness, please lend me your secret guide to picking up girls!"On the way back to the hotel, Cao Zheng pleaded.

Just now, Zhao Ping'an tried to brush off the situation with some cheesy lines he recently got from a dating manual, but guess what?Hey, this brainless guy actually believed it!

This made Zhao Ping'an very embarrassed and quite helpless!

Cao Zheng's small eyes were fixed on Zhao Ping'an, who was spinning around. If someone else had said this, he would have scoffed, but after recalling Zhao Ping'an's unusual behavior and impressive feats during this period, combined with tonight's bizarre situation, he had to believe it!

This is just like when Zhao Ping'an told him he wanted to make a phone that didn't need charging; back then, he really didn't believe it!But in the end, they really did make it!

Tonight, that top-notch half-breed girl who looked like only a king could conquer her was actually won over by him with just one sentence. If it weren't for that mysterious and unpredictable womanizing manual, this matter would be completely inexplicable!
