Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 370 Appearances of All Living Beings

When the giant pink bottle of Spade Ace, which was said to cost more than two million yuan per bottle, was opened, the rich aroma unique to champagne spread in the private room, and the evening party officially began.

Zhou Wang is not a person who likes to sing karaoke, at least that was the case before he got drunk. Qiu Zeyu and others were probably the same, so no one started the first song for a long time.

But the scene was not awkward.

Since they don't sing, there are naturally professionals who come to fill in the missing sense of atmosphere.

Among the young ladies who entered the box, there were at least three or four who were from professional music colleges, and one of them even claimed to be one of the top 20 female singers in the country... Anyway, Zhou Wang didn't know her.

Although he didn't know her, the other party's voice and singing skills were indeed impeccable. At Qiu Zeyu's request, the other party sang the first song "Song of Ordinary People", which directly won a round of applause.

Qiu Zeyu even waved to the cheongsam lady next to him and asked her to give the other party a flower.

The singing lady immediately bowed to Qiu Zeyu to express her gratitude, and she looked quite excited. Zhou Wang and others were confused. After asking, Qiu Zeyu couldn't help but pat his head:
"Sorry, guys, I forgot to tell you that here, 'sending flowers' means giving the other party a tip, because these girls don't have a basic tip. A flower is 5,000 yuan, and if you send a star, it's 10,000..."

After listening to Qiu Zeyu's explanation, Zhou Wang finally understood.

This is different from ordinary business KTVs, that is, the girls who enter the private rooms do not need to pay extra money. They can be regarded as the "atmosphere group" in the KTV, or their fees are already included in the high private room service fee (10%).

The way they make extra income is by cashing in the gifts given by customers, ranging from five thousand to a maximum of one hundred thousand.

It’s so damn expensive!
Zhou Wang smacked his lips. When he took Yang Hao to the Shang K in Mingcheng that time, 5,000 yuan was enough to rent three or four girls, but here it was just the lowest tip.

Although the quality of these girls is indeed surprisingly good, not only in terms of appearance, but also in their own qualities and talents.

Zhou Wang felt that this place was more like an ancient "brothel", and the girls who could entertain guests there were all very talented and beautiful.

Lin Yue, the girl from the Foreign Languages ​​College who was sitting next to Zhou Wang, was the one chatting and drinking with Zhou Wang in the first half of the meeting because Ji Xiaoxi was busy sending messages. Zhou Wang learned from her that someone here had earned hundreds of thousands of yuan in tips in one night.

"…But it was a sister who made the move. Women are usually more generous in this regard."

Zhou Wang finally reacted after hearing Lin Yue's smile.

Of course, it's not just men who come here to consume. When I entered the private room just now, most of the waiters standing at the door were also quite handsome... I see.

He recalled the news he had read online before, where a man on a business trip came home to ask his wife for money, only to find that his wife, who had always been virtuous, had squandered all the 2 million yuan in savings that the man had entrusted to her for safekeeping. Upon questioning, he learned that the entire amount had been spent on the "male models" in the KTV...

There was also news in Shanghai before, about a wealthy woman celebrating the birthday of a male model. She spent millions in a private room in one night and gave the male model a mountain of luxury goods as a birthday gift.

Just as Lin Yue said, women are indeed more prone to impulse buying in this regard.

With the first young lady who sang taking the lead, and Qiu Zeyu's generosity, the girls in the private room became more and more active, showing various talents one after another, including classical dance, pendulum, pole dance, and they were all above the standard, which made everyone feel very excited.

Zhang Dashao, Shao Xiaoqi, Tang Yiming and others presented flowers one after another, and the atmosphere in the private room became more and more lively amid the clinking of wine glasses.

Although Ji Xiaoxi ignored him now, Zhou Wang was still having a lot of fun. This form of entertainment, which was different from the low-level "touch and sing" style, had a unique atmosphere... Even if Zhou Wang reached out, I thought these girls would not refuse.

What surprised Zhou Wang the most was the performance of a musical instrument by Lin Yue and several other girls.

They changed into ruqun, put on sunglasses, combined Chinese classical instruments with modern electronic music, and played a DJ version of "Yun Gong Xun Yin". Yes, it was the theme song of the 86 version of "Journey to the West".

“Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn…”

"Bosses, we Chinese don't dance to foreign music!"

When the familiar yet unfamiliar prelude sounded, along with the provocative scream of Lin Yue standing at the front desk, the atmosphere in the entire private room was completely ignited. Zhou Wang and others were led by the girls around them and shook their heads together. The private room instantly turned into a large disco scene.

Hi, so hi!
Zhou Wang shook his head and raised a glass of champagne towards Qiu Zeyu, indicating that he was extremely satisfied with the experience, which also made Qiu Zeyu smile knowingly.

Other people are not the focus. He is willing to spend a lot of money to make you smile. Isn’t it essentially to consolidate his friendship with Zhou Wang?
This has gone beyond the perspective of friends. Instead, it is a "ZZ mission" issued by his father after Zhou Wang came up with the name of the Wangyuan Club.

A few million is not worth mentioning. How to maintain a longer-term and deeper relationship with Zhou Wang is Qiu Zeyu’s first consideration.

Bustling.

While a group of guys were having a blast, in a corner, Cheng Xueqing was also immersed in the atmosphere of debauchery, swaying her body unconsciously.

She was very nervous at first, but when she found out that no one cared about her and Li Fei's existence, she relaxed.

Next to her and Li Fei, there were two beautiful girls who were helping them pour wine, handing them tissues, and actively chatting and joking with them. Even though the two of them were obviously on the margins of the group and their clothes didn't fit in, the two girls' attitudes were still warm and enthusiastic, and they didn't show the slightest bit of disgust.

Cheng Xueqing's mentality is very contradictory.

On the one hand, she felt quite inferior and even wanted to take off the Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet on her wrist, even though it was the only jewelry she had... because the girl accompanying her was also wearing a bracelet on her wrist, with the same four-leaf clover, but with a few more rubies inlaid on it, which was obviously a more advanced version.

On the other hand, she was greatly shocked by the series of experiences today that were beyond her own class, and even felt a little intoxicated.

However, the short day she spent with Zhou Wang and others made her realize clearly how narrow the life of rich people she had imagined in the past was.

When the girl next to her handed over the champagne glass that seemed to be mixed with gold, Cheng Xueqing's hands even trembled unconsciously...

Because she knew that the small glass of wine in her hand was worth more than her monthly salary.

It would be nice if I could live like this forever.

Cheng Xueqing just had this thought and she couldn't help but find it a little funny. How could she have the qualifications?
Looking up at Zhou Wang, who was sitting in the center of the private room and celebrating with his friends, Cheng Xueqing suddenly felt a little indignant... because her cousin was still sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, and didn't know how to seize the opportunity at all.

As long as we can take down Mr. Zhou, wouldn't such wealth and glory be within our reach?

She was jealous unconsciously because even though Ji Xiaoxi was so "indifferent", Zhou Wang still didn't care and would even turn around to tease Ji Xiaoxi from time to time.

If only Zhou Wang could please me like this...

This sudden thought scared Cheng Xueqing herself. She quickly shook her head, trying to drive away those messy thoughts.

"Qingqing, it's almost time, how about... we go?"

At this time, Li Fei's voice came from the side.

Cheng Xueqing turned her head and saw that Li Fei was still sitting obediently on the sofa. He did not move at all, whether it was the special cigarettes of unknown brand or the glass of champagne in front of him. Even though the atmosphere in the private room was extremely warm, his anxiety and restraint were written on his face.

"We are here to have fun. Why are you so timid? Wouldn't it be a joke if others saw us?"

Cheng Xueqing said with a disappointed look on her face. Comparing the two, she felt more and more uncomfortable.

Li Fei didn't feel much about Cheng Xueqing's scolding. After all, he felt that it was a joke for him to sit here. Such an environment couldn't make him relax at all. He just wanted to go home quickly, turn on his newly configured computer and play a few games of chess.

"Let's go home, okay, Qingqing, we've been sitting here for over an hour..."

"No, if you want to reply, reply by yourself!"

Seeing Cheng Xueqing's firm attitude, Li Fei was helpless, but he still refused to drink the wine in front of him, so Cheng Xueqing directly took the champagne in front of him.

"You don't want to drink, right? I'll drink!"

Li Fei was a little worried because he knew that Cheng Xueqing had already drunk a lot during the meal, but his fiancée was angry at the moment and he couldn't stop her. He could only watch Cheng Xueqing drinking one glass after another as if she was angry.

However, since he didn't drink, Li Fei wasn't too worried. He even thought that it would be a good idea to get Cheng Xueqing drunk, so that he would have an excuse to take her away...

……

While Cheng Xueqing and Li Fei were having a quarrel, Ji Xiaoxi, who was curled up alone on the sofa not far away, was also in inner torment.

On the lit phone screen was the chat interface between her and Chen He.

Since they couldn't video chat, the two of them were chatting via text at the moment.

Chen He: [Xiao Xi, I remember your mother’s birthday is in two days. I have already sent the gift. Please remember to pass it on for me. Of course, I know your aunt doesn’t approve of me yet, so you can just send it in your own name.]

Chen He: [Also, the bag you wanted to buy but was out of stock, I found it from another channel and sent it to you as well]

Chen He: [By the way, in a month it will be our second anniversary. I have already asked for leave from the crew in advance. I will give you a surprise then.]

Most of the time, it was Chen He who was talking, and every time when Ji Xiaoxi wanted to reply, Chen He sent a new message, leaving her no time to press the "send" button. The care and love mixed in those messages made Ji Xiaoxi's eyes more complicated, and the guilt in her heart became stronger.

"Hey, are you really planning on not drinking any wine at all? This champagne is a little different from the ordinary Ace of Spades. It tastes quite special. Do you want to try it?"

Zhou Wang's voice came from the side. Ji Xiaoxi looked up and met Zhou Wang's gaze.

Under the dim light, his eyes were as bright as stars, and the smile on the corner of his mouth flowed like a river, washing into her heart.

It seemed like every time we met again, Zhou Wang became more handsome.

Ji Xiaoxi knew that it was because the defenses in her heart had been crumbling and had never been truly solid.

Ji Xiaoxi, who had been distracted for a few seconds, suddenly woke up. She knew she couldn't stay any longer. Zhou Wang was the "devil" and she was just a mortal. How could she withstand the temptation of the devil?
So she stood up suddenly, looked away and said, "I...I'm going to answer a phone call."

Then, without waiting for Zhou Wang to say anything, she hurried out with her cell phone.

"Hey, there's a lounge next door..."

Before Zhou Wang could finish his words, Ji Xiaoxi had already left the private room, and he could only withdraw his hand helplessly.

……

Ji Xiaoxi ignored the greetings from the etiquette lady and the waiter until she was out of the elevator. The noise in her ears disappeared, and the open night sky and lush vegetation reappeared before her eyes. Only then did she begin to gasp for breath like a drowning man who had broken free from his restraints.

She has to leave here now.

She knew Zhou Wang would definitely not agree, so she ran out without even taking her bag... Anyway, her cousin was still there, so she could just let her take her things away later.

Ji Xiaoxi looked up at the starry sky, and her eyes became firm in an instant.

The pastor once asked her to examine her own heart, and Ji Xiaoxi felt that she had thought it through.

She couldn't figure out what kind of feelings she had for Zhou Wang, but she knew she couldn't continue to fall into such a state.

She couldn't let Chen He down, couldn't let down her obsession of wanting to hold hands for a lifetime, couldn't let down her parents' earnest teachings over the years, and she couldn't... betray her own beliefs.

At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi, whose thoughts were clear, felt extremely relaxed all over. She walked briskly out of the manor, combed her hair, then picked up her mobile phone and made a video call to Chen He.

She wanted to say sorry to him, and then tell him that she was done with her work now, and that she belonged to him from tonight until bedtime, and that she could chat with him all the time.

However, while Ji Xiaoxi was full of anticipation, the phone was quickly hung up.

Ji Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, and was hesitating whether to continue calling, but Chen He's message came first.

Chen He: [I’m sorry, Xiaoxi, the investor of our crew is here and is currently entertaining in the private room. It’s too noisy here. How about I call you tomorrow? ]

Although Ji Xiaoxi was a little disappointed when she saw the message, she didn't understand anything, so she started typing:
"Okay, then I'll go back and rest early. I'm pretty tired today, so don't drink too much..."

Before Ji Xiaoxi finished editing her message, Chen He sent another message, which was a selfie, probably to prove that he did not lie to Ji Xiaoxi.

Ji Xiaoxi took a glance and found that it was indeed a photo taken in a KTV box. Chen He, holding the microphone, deliberately made a very showy pose. Ji Xiaoxi remembered this pose. He also used the same pose when he came to chat with her.

Ji Xiaoxi smiled knowingly and was about to continue editing the information when her eyes suddenly froze.

Her fingers stopped and she clicked on the picture sent by Chen He, then zoomed in again and again, finally freezing the picture on the back wall of the photo.

On the wall with luxurious textures, you can see two large white characters that have been artistically processed and emit bright white light:

"Heavenly Palace."

Ji Xiaoxi confirmed again and again, yes, it was exactly the same logo as the private room she had just been in.

She typed: "Are you in the White City?"

Chen He replied quickly: "Yeah, I didn't expect that Baicheng also has such a high-end KTV. I'll take you there next time you come to Baicheng. Hahaha, but I may not be able to afford it..."

Ji Xiaoxi's breathing stagnated, and he turned around to find the security guard on the side of the road.

"Let me ask you, is this KTV a chain?"

"Well, that shouldn't be the case... I haven't heard that the boss has opened a KTV in other places."

Ji Xiaoxi, whose heart was aching, quickly began to comfort herself.

Or maybe it's just a coincidence...

After all, China is so big, there should be many KTVs with the same name. But, is it such a coincidence that even the logos are exactly the same?

Or is it that the KTV in Baicheng that Chen He mentioned is just a copy of this one?

Ji Xiaoxi tried to find a reasonable explanation, but she felt something was wrong. Her steps began to stop. After a moment, Ji Xiaoxi turned around abruptly and walked towards the interior of the building complex.

She had to get an answer.

……

"Ming Ning Gang Ya, Bi You dragged the people, the bed Yo Du changed the guest, the fish fruit Yao Hang micro people, Wa dragged the same identity to get the star cause ..."

In the private room of Bixiao Palace, Zhou Wang, who couldn't resist the crowd, finally activated his Cantonese skills and sang "This Day Next Year" with deep emotion. When he put down the microphone, he immediately won the boos of the men and the screams of the women.

I have to say that the nearly 10 million-level sound system is really awesome. Zhou Wang himself was shocked by his own singing voice. As long as the contestants are not the kind of people whose singing is too out of tune, they can probably regain a lot of confidence here.

Because Ji Xiaoxi had left temporarily, the girls who had been sitting next to Zhou Wang very well behaved suddenly became much bolder. Taking advantage of the momentum of screaming, Lin Yue gave him a bold kiss on the face.

Zhou Wang neither refused nor took responsibility. He just smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with the girls who gathered around him.

He turned around and saw that Ji Xiaoxi hadn't come back yet. He was a little puzzled. Did this phone call take so long?

Before Zhou Wang had time to think, another girl squeezed over and wanted to have a drink with him.

Zhou Wang originally wanted to refuse, but when he looked up, he found that it was not the young lady in the private room, but Ji Xiaoxi's cousin Cheng Xueqing.

"Well, Mr. Zhou, thank you for your hospitality today. Let me toast you a glass..."

Cheng Xueqing stuttered while speaking, causing Zhou Wang to look at her in surprise.

Because they are distant cousins, Cheng Xueqing and Ji Xiaoxi do not have similar facial features. But among ordinary people, Cheng Xueqing can be considered a decent beauty, with a bit of a beautiful girlish charm.

At this time, I don’t know if it’s because I drank too much, but my cheeks are flushed, which makes her look more charming.

But Zhou Wang didn't look at it for long, he just smiled and nodded, "Okay, I hope you have fun... everything is good!"

After clinking glasses with Cheng Xueqing, she didn't leave yet. Zhou Wang initially thought that she had something to tell him. After all, Zhou Wang had also heard in the car that Li Fei was looking for a job.

After waiting for a long time, Cheng Xueqing didn't speak. Zhou Wang saw that she was just twisting her fingers nervously, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhou Wang, who had drunk a lot of wine, was even more drunk at this time. He felt that his bladder was about to explode. He no longer cared about Cheng Xueqing, but got up and walked towards the bathroom.

After sending a message to Ji Xiaoxi in the bathroom but getting no response, Zhou Wang called again, but the line was busy. After coming out and washing his hands, Zhou Wang was wondering whether he should go out to look for Ji Xiaoxi when, just as he passed the door of the lounge, a snow-white hand suddenly reached out and pulled Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang was pulled in unexpectedly. Before he could react, a limp body fell on him.

In my ears, there are whispers mixed with moans:
"I... I feel dizzy, let me lean on you for a while..."

Zhou Wang subconsciously hugged the other person's slender waist, and the delicate touch of her skin exuded an astonishing warmth.

He originally thought that it was a young lady in a private room who was taking the opportunity to seduce him. After all, this scene was obviously carefully designed. But when Zhou Wang looked down, he was shocked and let go of his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"Cheng Xueqing?"
