20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3568 Xu Xiaoman's Advice
"Sister Xia is the younger sister of a friend my mother met at the May Seventh Cadre School when she was young. Her parents passed away early, and her older sister contracted schistosomiasis and died before she could return to the city. Before she passed away, her biggest worry was her younger sister, who was being fostered by relatives. She asked my mother to take care of her if she could return to the city in the future. She did go astray, getting drunk, engaging in promiscuous sex, fighting, and petty theft. She became a delinquent. Fortunately, at that time, sexually transmitted diseases were not as prevalent in China as they are abroad. Although she had been with countless men, she was still relatively healthy. Otherwise, when Pan Gao talked to Sister Xia, I would have made things clear to him."

Xu Xiaoman was naturally aware of the situation between Pan Gao and Wei Xuena, and Zhao Chang'an's resentment towards Pan Gao because of it. She took this opportunity to tell Zhao Chang'an the whole story.

"Actually, over the past ten years or so, she has gradually distanced herself from those people from before, and there have been quite a few disputes in between. One of the street thugs who initially brought her out into the world had been in there for over ten years. When he came out, he found that Sister Xia had money, and he pestered her for months, wanting to marry her. Sister Xia softened and accepted him, but after only a few days, he slept with one of the female employees there. He even shamelessly said that Sister Xia should be the boss and the female employee should be the mistress. Enraged, Sister Xia grabbed a kitchen knife, but the street thug broke her arm. After this incident, Sister Xia completely lost faith in these scoundrels."

"After that scoundrel broke Sister Xia's hand, he knew that Sister Xia wouldn't let it go, so he ran off with several hundred thousand yuan from her. Several hundred thousand yuan seven or eight years ago was no small sum. He was caught before he could even escape Mingzhu with that waitress and was sentenced to more than ten years. He'll be sixty when he gets out in a few years."

Qin Youyuan explained.

"Yes, older women are caring, they've been through the rough and tumble of life, they're beautiful, and they've encountered all sorts of strange and monstrous men, they've become quite the experts."

Zhao Chang'an said with a smile, his words carrying a barb, and the two of them pretended not to understand the harsh words in his speech and laughed.

-

Since Xu Xiaoman had already spoken her mind, Zhao Chang'an didn't say anything more. He couldn't say he had a problem with Sister Xia; she was just pursuing her own happiness. Nor could he say he was angry with Pan Gao. Sister Xia was more likely to ignite his passion as a musical wanderer.

However, it was clear that Pan Gao had disappointed Zhao Chang'an. If Zhao Chang'an were in Pan Gao's shoes, he could certainly have his way with Xia Jie, have her have his child, and take her bar. But compared to Xia Jie, Wei Xuena would definitely be the main wife.

The reality is that Sister Xia has been manipulating him completely, and Wei Xuena has broken up with him in resentment and anger.

In short, he's not a smart person; he's a bit dull.

Zhao Chang'an called Tang Shuang and asked if she was coming over. Hearing that she was going to a bar in Pan Gao, Tang Shuang refused without hesitation, clearly showing that she had very sound values.

In reality, Tang Shuang and Xu Xiaoman are quite different in this regard. Xu Xiaoman is obviously more down-to-earth, while Tang Shuang never goes to these messy places that are a bit borderline.

Of course, this also has to do with appearance. Xu Xiaoman can only be considered an ordinary, pretty woman. Sitting in Sister Xia's bar, she looked very ordinary and was far less attractive than a woman who, although not particularly beautiful, dared to wear revealing clothes.

Unless you're a guy who likes to hook up with women who look traditional and conservative, most regulars in the place try to avoid picking up these kinds of women, to avoid endless trouble later on, or even ending up in trouble themselves.

However, a woman like Tang Shuang, as long as she appears in a bar, even if she wears any clothes that are versatile and casual, can still become the focus of the entire place.

This is also why Xu Xiaoman is able to hang out with Zeng Xiaoxiao, Qiao Jing'er, Xu Shasha, and now Shen Xiaoyi. She really doesn't feel comfortable hanging out with women like Tang Shuang, who are truly beautiful and come from a family no less well-off than hers.

"I'll call Zeng Xiaoxiao and ask Qiao Jing'er and Xu Shasha to come too. Let's have a good party tonight." Xu Xiaoman dialed Zeng Xiaoxiao's number and then said to the other end, "You should also call Xiaoyi. Anyway, her stall hasn't reopened yet, so it'll be more lively with more people."

When Zhao Chang'an arrived at the bar, he realized that he hadn't been there for more than half a year. The old buildings outside had been demolished and a parking lot had been built. The parking lot was full of sports cars, and even cars worth hundreds of thousands of yuan were embarrassed to park there.

Loud DJ music blasted from two large cannons placed at the entrance, creating a very energetic sound.

"Sister Xia bought this land and the bar building, spending seven million, and then invested another three million to renovate it. It is now one of the top-ranked Nightclubs in Mingzhu."

Xu Xiaoman was reluctant to use the word "nightclub" and instead used an English phrase.

At this time, a lot of men and women had gathered outside Nightclub. There were girls with yellow hair, white hair, purple hair, red hair, nose piercings, ghost fire tattoos, short hair that reached the upper thighs, bare white legs, exposed navels with piercings, and big breasts, seemingly unafraid of the cold. However, many of them were stopped by two burly men who were nearly two meters tall, limiting the number of people allowed in, which showed that the business was exceptionally good.

The security guards at the gate knew Qin Youyuan and Xu Xiaoman, and they entered without any hindrance, which made the ghosts outside furious. However, they were all smart people who had been through the trials of society, especially Qin Youyuan, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a refined beast. He was not someone to be trifled with, so even if they were indignant, they could only mutter their complaints in a low voice.

The entire interior has been renovated. Although it's called a bar, it's actually a nightclub. The dance floor, DJ area, booths, and even the lighting on the first floor are all very luxurious. On one side, there are four small high single platforms with steel poles erected on them. Four slender women wearing white one-piece bikinis, bunny ear headbands, and long sleeves are performing pole dancing.

The place was packed with people, so it's no wonder they had to limit the number of people allowed in outside.

Before arriving, Qin Youyuan had already called Pan Gao. When Pan Gao saw Zhao Chang'an and the other two enter from the second floor, he quickly went to greet them.

I haven't seen Pan Gao for more than half a year. He's gained more than ten kilograms. The once skinny musical wanderer has started to transform into a greasy fat man ahead of time.

"Zhao, haha, it's been half a year since I last saw you."

Pan Gao extended his hand to Zhao Chang'an warmly. In fact, he had already thought about it for a long time in his mind. Calling Zhao Chang'an seemed a bit disrespectful. Their relationship was a bit distant now, so calling him that seemed a bit inappropriate.

Calling him "General Manager Zhao" would be too formal, so I just called him "Zhao" and then laughed it off.

"You're really expanding this business. If you develop it properly, it might become one of the top nightclubs in the country, making millions in revenue in one night is nothing."

Zhao Chang'an smiled and handed Pan Gao a cigarette. He could understand Pan Gao. This place was in the heart of the Pearl City, where land was incredibly valuable. Its future land value would be at least 50 to 60 million. But he just felt that Pan Gao was not smart in handling this matter between women.
