Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 346 An Eye-Opening Experience (6k views, please subscribe)

Arriving at this nameless island in Qiandao Lake, Jian Xiaojie felt as relaxed and at ease as if she were at home.

Rong Nianqing, Gan Xiaoxi, and Wang Shu, being well-traveled and knowledgeable, didn't find anything special about seeing so many handsome men and beautiful women, let alone Lin Yongzhen.

Only Lü Yao seemed slightly surprised.

Oh, and Tong Fuli, who came along with us, also seemed quite surprised.

Judging from Tong Fuli's expression, she must have never been to a similar secret place before. Perhaps her father was invited to such a secret place, but it was absolutely impossible for Tong Fuli to have come here with her father.

Anyone who's ever been a mischievous kid knows that the videotapes the adults in the family liked to watch were always hidden away.

Driven by human nature, Tong Fuli's heart fluttered every time she saw a handsome man here, and within a few dozen seconds, she fell in love with several of them.

So much so that Tong Fuli lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look up at the handsome men there.

Tong Fuli's performance was fully observed by everyone present, but no one said much. Instead, they chatted and laughed as they entered the main building of the manor and chose their favorite rooms.

Gan Xiaoxi was the most lively, so as soon as she rushed in, she wanted to occupy the best and most central room.

She rushed straight to the room with the best view on the second floor, pounced inside, and landed on the bed.

Then she started rolling around on the pristine white sheets, yelling, "Wow~ so relaxing! This room is mine, and nobody's allowed to take it from me!"

Jian Xiaojie, who was slowly following behind upstairs, said, "This room is for Sister Shu. Get up."

Gan Xiaoxi started throwing a tantrum: "Ah!! I don't want to!! I like it here!"

Its tantrum and howling looked just like a groundhog.

Soon Rong Nianqing followed Jian Xiaojie up: "Okay, Xiaoxi, stop fooling around. Come and stay in my room."

Lu Yao followed Wang Shu, carrying Wang Shu's luggage, and came up from the villa elevator. Upon hearing the commotion, Wang Shu said with a smile, "Oh, it's just one room, it doesn't matter where we stay."

Jian Xiaojie insisted, "That won't do. It's just a room, isn't it? This is my heartfelt gift, woman."

As she spoke, Jian Xiaojie swayed to Wang Shu's side and flirtatiously lifted Wang Shu's chin.

Wang Shu frowned, suppressing a laugh, and slapped Jian Xiaojie's hand away: "You're always being indecent."

Amidst the commotion, Lin Yongzhen and Tong Fuli followed behind and came up together. The two walked together, chatting and laughing, and it seemed that their relationship had become very good without them even realizing it.

Lu Yao put Wang Shu's luggage in the best room, chased Gan Xiaoxi away, and then chose a room next to Wang Shu's to stay in. Rong Nianqing and Gan Xiaoxi stayed in the room opposite Lu Yao's, while Lin Yongzhen stayed in the room next to Lu Yao's.

As someone outside their circle, Tong Fuli found a room on the left side of the stairwell after everyone else had found their rooms, a place far away from Lü Yao and the others.

Once they entered the room, the handsome men and beautiful women who worked there spontaneously began to enter and help tidy up. They were very organized, with each man and woman entering the room in pairs.

This is very strange.

Logically speaking, aren't most people who tidy up rooms women?

What's with the guy coming in with them?

After tidying up the rooms, everyone returned to the courtyard below the manor. The courtyard was also very well decorated, with long linen cloths draped over horizontal bars, naturally hanging down in arcs like a canopy.

A gentle breeze blows by, and these hanging arc-shaped canopies ripple gently like water.

Arriving at the courtyard downstairs in the manor, Lü Yao began to examine the layout. In fact, the scene in this courtyard was not particularly unusual, but after looking at it for a while, Lü Yao discovered that the most mysterious thing in this layout was something unseen—"the shape of the wind."

The linen cloth in the courtyard swayed so rhythmically that ever since Lü Yao discovered it and noticed it, he had noticed that the canopy above it had been swaying at roughly the same amplitude, and at the same time, he could feel a cool breeze blowing over him.

Although it's already early October, and this is in Qiandao Lake, where the temperature is usually not very high, the climate on a small island in the middle of a lake, surrounded by water vapor and vegetation, is probably not this refreshing.

But Lu Yao felt a gentle breeze here, and the temperature wasn't even that sticky.

There's a story behind this place.

Lu Yao lay by the pool in the manor courtyard, pondering the "legend" surrounding the place while enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet.

The "service staff" in this manor were like little bees, bringing all kinds of food and drinks. When the female waitresses came over, Lü Yao even felt that they seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally releasing their charm towards him.

The skill of "unleashing charm" is something that not everyone possesses.

For most ordinary people, this ability is a "passive skill" that can only be activated in specific situations. Some people cannot even activate this "passive skill" in those specific environments. These people are usually called "dead fish".

Every service staff member here possesses the ability to proactively "unleash their charm".

That's awesome.

This means that all the staff here are trained, and the signals they send indicate that they are ready to provide any service to the "visitors" here at any time.

When such a thought arose, Lü Yao's desire to explore and test this place reached its peak.

However, Lü Yao has managers around him.

So Lü Yao called out "Hey" to Jian Xiaojie, who was chatting with Rong Nianqing and the others. Jian Xiaojie looked up and glared at Lü Yao with displeasure: "What do you mean 'hey'? Don't I have a name?"

Despite saying that, Jian Xiaojie still got up and lay down on the beach chair next to Lü Yao.

Upon arriving here, Jian Xiaojie changed into a Greek-style women's outfit, perfectly suited to the occasion. A pure white veil wrapped her body, and she wore pure gold jewelry with gold thread patterns on her wrists and ankles, making her look full of exotic charm.

As Jian Xiaojie swayed over, Lu Yao couldn't help but recall the movie "300" that he had watched before. The women in the Spartan city-state were indeed very attractive.

And now, the feelings that once stirred his heart have become reality.

Lu Yao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

After calming down, Lü Yao asked, "I feel like something's not right here, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is."

Jian Xiaojie said with a smile, "You're quite perceptive. Tell me, what's wrong with it?"

As she spoke, Jian Xiaojie, with her voluptuous figure twisting and turning, lay on her side, propped her head up, and looked at Lü Yao beside her.

Lu Yao then described everything he saw, such as the layout of the buildings and even the climate and wind direction, which seemed to have been carefully designed.

Jian Xiaojie laughed and said, "Yes, the entire island has been equipped with climate control systems in places that are not visible. The negative oxygen ions, oxygen, temperature, and humidity here are all carefully balanced. These unseen things are the most precious assets here."

"And those things that are visible to the naked eye, no matter how high-end they are, there is actually a limit to how many there are."

Lu Yao suddenly understood. No wonder he felt exceptionally energetic and relaxed as soon as he arrived. When it comes to enjoying life, the top tier of the wealthy certainly knows how to have fun. He looked at Jian Xiaojie beside him: "But this is just the 'hardware facilities' here."

Jian Xiaojie's smile grew even more amused: "Yes, software services are always a reflection of service awareness. Do you know what the core competitiveness is here?"

Lu Yao shook his head; he couldn't guess.

Although Lü Yao's current net worth is already quite good, it is only outstanding among ordinary people. With a global population of over eight billion, even if only one percent are top-tier wealth holders, the number of top-tier wealth holders in the world would still be a considerable number.

For people at that level, Lü Yao really didn't know how they defined the world.

With a hint of smugness yet a meaningful tone, Jian Xiaojie slowly said, "This is a world outside the world, and one of the core rules here is—unrestrained freedom."

"There are no restrictions here; you can do whatever you want."

As she spoke, Jian Xiaojie leaned a little closer: "Truly doing whatever you want."

Lü Yao understood somewhat.

All the movies and TV shows I'd seen before, like Hostel, The Squid Game, Eyes Wide Shut, and Westworld, came rushing back like boiling bubbles. Indeed, for the super-rich, this world is a game they can completely customize.

After Jian Xiaojie instilled the core rules of this place into Lü Yao's mind, Lü Yao couldn't help but have many crazy ideas. He began to look forward to exploring the boundaries and bottom lines of this place.

The deeds of the notoriously tyrannical rulers of chaotic times, which were once known for their cruelty in history, began to appear in Lü Yao's mind.

These thoughts made Lü Yao's breathing become uneasy.

But Jian Xiaojie's seduction didn't end there: "Besides the manor we're in now, there's a cold weapon exhibition hall, a shooting range, and an archery hall on this island, and you can use anything in those places as you please, and even take it with you."

After a moment of silence, Lü Yao said, "You mean, even murder is not forbidden here?"

“Isn’t that too exaggerated?”

Jian Xiaojie did not answer "yes" or "no," but simply smiled faintly and said, "The kind of behavior you're talking about comes at a high price. Every gift that fate bestows has already had its price secretly marked on it."

Lü Yao certainly understood this.

Then Jian Xiaojie revealed her mischievous nature and laughed, "I'm really looking forward to it. In a place like this, with just a little guidance, something very, very bad could happen. What do you think Tong Fuli will do here?"

"And what about those young men gathered around you now? Can they control themselves here? If they can't, and their embarrassing deeds are found out by others, what will Miss Tong think?"

"And you."

As she spoke, Jian Xiaojie glanced at Lü Yao: "What about you? What will you do here?" If someone is in an environment where they can do anything without being refused, it's really hard to imagine what they would do.

This is truly a paradise on earth.

But this place is also an absolute hell of human nature under a magnifying glass.

Lu Yao was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "The environment here is indeed a test for Zhu Junyan and the others. As for what Miss Tong will do... whatever she does will be beneficial to us, won't it?"

Jian Xiaojie pressed on, "And what about you?"

Lu Yao raised his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and said leisurely, "Me? What impact would it have on a nobody like me, no matter what I do?"

Jian Xiaojie rolled her eyes and stood up: "Then you're underestimating yourself too much—"

"Mr. Lü."

……

Zhu Junyan and his group arrived at this secluded island almost two hours later than Lü Yao and his group. This group of people had indeed dressed up carefully in order to compete for the future.

The most flamboyantly dressed person here is Zhu Junyan. Everything he owns is extremely expensive: his watch, clothes, shoes, even his newly fitted glasses, and his trendy hairstyle. He exudes an exaggerated and over-the-top aura.

That guy's swaying gait, besides exuding confidence, also left Rong Nianqing speechless and covering her face, while Gan Xiaoxi rolled her eyes and grinned, feeling completely out of sorts.

The worst part is that Zhu Junyan wasn't the only one who overdid it; the others did too.

Some people arrived at this time wearing British-style formal suits, while others wore suits with a strong Italian flair. Even Zhou Xiangyang, who is usually calm and composed, wore a beige outfit with navy blue suit pants.

The feeling of this group of young men from Shangnan walking towards us was just like that of a group of Shangnan sapu walking with a confident, even slightly flamboyant, gait—

Didn't see it.

Lu Yao opened his mouth, his face twitching slightly, but he was too embarrassed to say that these people were following him.

But Zhu Junyan and his group were very confident. When they arrived at the artificial white sand beach at the front of the manor, Zhu Junyan confidently and arrogantly stretched out his hand to greet Lü Yao: "Master!"

Lu Yao's face twitched; he really didn't want to talk to Zhu Junyan.

Gan Xiaoxi and Jian Xiaojie huddled together, shrugging and shoving their lips, trying to suppress their laughter.

well! !

Lu Yao sighed heavily in his heart, then stood up and walked over to Zhu Junyan, who was smiling like a crow. He then introduced him to Tong Fuli, saying, "Miss Tong, let me introduce you. This is Zhu Junyan, the second young master of the Zhu family of Shangnan."

"Don't be fooled by him calling me 'Master,' we don't have any real master-disciple relationship. He's just calling me that for fun."

Zhu Junyan was displeased: "Master, you're really hurting my feelings by saying that. Even if we can't be called fathers for life after just one day of teacher-student relationship, you are still a towering figure in my heart. My respect for you is as boundless as the Yangtze River..."

"Alright, alright, stop joking." Lü Yao turned his face away helplessly, and at the same time used his strength to push Zhu Junyan aside, and then continued to introduce Zhou Xiangyang, Huang Tianbo, Ruan Xueqiang, Lu Zhenqiu and other young masters from Shangnan to Tong Fuli.

After introducing the people around him, Lü Yao came to Tong Fuli's side and said, "This is Miss Tong Fuli."

Tong Fuli greeted everyone politely: "Hello everyone, I am Tong Fuli. It's nice to meet you all. I hope we can become friends in the future."

Zhu Junyan stepped forward first, speaking in a friendly manner: "Oh, Miss Tong, why are you being so polite? We're all family here now. This is Sister Jian's territory, so feel free to have fun!"

Tong Fuli seemed unaccustomed to Zhu Junyan's enthusiasm, her face bearing a full but stiff smile, while she slightly hunched her shoulders, adopting a defensive posture.

Zhu Junyan was also a seasoned womanizer.

Although he has always liked and is still used to using simple and crude money offensives to break down girls' psychological defenses, and enjoys watching them gradually be distorted and alienated by money into a humble state, this does not mean that Zhu Junyan is brainless, especially when it comes to women, he is quite talented.

Seeing Tong Fuli's defensive stance, Zhu Junyan immediately stepped back slightly and went to greet the others.

Although Zhu Junyan really wanted to seize the future, there was no need to rush. Women are easy to get to know once you've become familiar with them. Once you're there, things will fall into place naturally.

Despite spending his days in brothels, Zhu Junyan was still very confident in his abilities.

Seeing Tong Fuli's timidity, the other young men from Shangnan also toned down their previous arrogant and confident demeanor. After a brief greeting, they went to greet and chat with their acquaintances.

The wave of influence brought by the Sapps gradually subsided, and as Zhu Junyan and his group loosened their ties and threw off their suit jackets, the atmosphere among the people gathered together gradually became harmonious and friendly.

Before Zhu Junyan and his group arrived, Lü Yao and his group planned to have a barbecue and drinks on the artificial beach. Now that Zhu Junyan and his group have arrived, Lü Yao and his group have also started to get into the swing of things, eating barbecue or drinking beer. During the meal, everyone either chatted or played games with each other.

The staff of the island estate were there to keep him company.

Once everyone was getting into the mood, Jian Xiaojie stood up and tapped her wine glass, making a crisp "ding-ding-ding" sound. When everyone's attention was focused on her, Jian Xiaojie smiled and said, "It's such a pleasure that we are able to gather here during the Golden Week holiday."

"As Zhu Junyan said earlier, everyone here is one of us. And this island I've meticulously built is precisely for us! Here, we can 'do whatever we want' and 'have no worries'!"

Jian Xiaojie concluded by raising her glass: "I wish everyone a wonderful and unforgettable time here!"

Following Jian Xiaojie's lead, the others also raised their glasses to celebrate the occasion.

However, Lü Yao heard "some kind of hint" in Jian Xiaojie's words.

What I just said didn't sound like it was addressed to the guests, but rather to the staff.

Therefore, Lü Yao had been secretly observing.

as predicted.

Lu Yao noticed that ever since Jian Xiaojie raised her glass to cheer, the service staff gathered on this artificial beach began to "release their charm," either by making eye contact with their eyes, by casually getting closer, or by whispering in their ears.

The golden-red flames danced like the most passionate woman in the equatorial region, their warm light illuminating everyone's face and casting joyful, carefree shadows.

The charming demeanor and service attitude of the service staff were also noticed by the somewhat oblivious rich kids from Shangnan.

"Hey, that pretty girl next to you just now seemed interested in you. I noticed the way she looked at you was different, Huang Laoxie."

"Huang Laoxie, you're not usually this shy, why are you laughing so strangely right now, hahaha."

After being ridiculed by his friends, Huang Tianbo shouted back: "Don't you dare frame me! Where have I ever been unserious? You guys are the ones who led me astray!"

Zhu Junyan and the others burst into laughter: "You're suddenly being so well-behaved, kid. Have you been letting yourself go too much lately?"

Huang Tianbo was immediately struck where it hurt, his face turning red and his neck thickening: "What? Do you want to test whether your father can handle it?"

As he spoke, Huang Tianbo rolled up his sleeves, revealing his well-developed biceps from regular exercise.

Fueled by this competitive spirit, Zhu Junyan and his friends were equally unwilling to back down: "Damn, you think we're afraid of you? Come on, let's have a go!"

"Let's practice then!"

Then, amidst the cheers of the crowd, Zhu Junyan and Huang Tianbo ran to the other side and started playing a no-rules gladiatorial game.

Zhou Xiangyang, Ruan Xueqiang, and the others were making a ruckus and egging them on from the sidelines.

Of all the men present, only Lü Yao didn't follow.

Admittedly, violence is an innate code rooted in human genes. Even just watching action movies and TV shows with explosive action and visceral punches can make most men feel their heart race and their blood boil.

Not to mention the atmosphere of a duel happening right here right now.

It's perfectly normal for Zhu Junyan and his group of young people to stir up trouble and make a fuss over this.

and so.

When a group of young men gathered over there to wrestle and play around, Tong Fuli looked at Lü Yao curiously and said, "Mr. Lü, aren't you going to go and take a look?"

Lu Yao sat on a camping chair and laughed, "What am I watching? They're just making a scene. By the way, Miss Tong, what's your impression of these young people?"

Tong Fuli said with a smile, "How could you say that, President Lü, you treat them like children?"

Jian Xiaojie laughed and said, "Sometimes I also feel that this guy is mature beyond his years. If you want to call him precocious, that would be too early."

Tong Fuli smiled and said, "Actually, it's not bad, compared to being more mature..."

As she spoke, she looked at the group of young men who were laughing and teasing each other: "I think they're a bit... immature."

broken.

Lü Yao chuckled inwardly.

When a woman thinks you're immature, you're probably out of luck.

But Jian Xiaojie said quietly, "Actually, it's not that normal. Sometimes I even envy men's 'childishness' regardless of the situation."

"This is something that took me a lot of time and effort to learn."
