Against the Current Hong Kong 1979

"Hey bro, stop touching me, let's chat for a bit."

Nearby, a hostess couldn't help but beg for mercy.

Zhang Shuai'an turned his head and saw that Huang Zhiqiang was constantly touching the thigh of the girl next to him, and the touch was getting higher and higher.

He Jiatong's eyelids were also glancing in that direction, and the girl next to him couldn't help but say, "Why are you looking over there? If you want to touch it, my leg is right here, why don't you touch it?"

He Jiatong really didn't dare.

Zhang Shuai'an said, "Touch it if you want, Boss Wu paid for it."

"Hey buddy, you're criticizing others, but you don't have the guts yourself."

Qi Meng leaned her voluptuous body against Zhang Shuai'an's shoulder, "A handsome guy like you, I'd be willing to play with you even without paying."

Zhang Shuai'an just smiled at her without giving any response, and simply drank a few glasses of wine with her.

A moment later, he got up and said to the others, "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

He Jiatong also wanted to get up and follow, but Qimeng and Manna pulled her back together: "Don't run away, have a good drink with the sisters first."

Zhang Shuai'an asked a waiter for directions to the restroom and then slowly walked over.

He avoids contact with those so-called Qimeng and Manna simply because he doesn't want to get involved with any problems.

Medical standards in that era were not as advanced as in later times, and nightclubs had not yet established a system for their female employees to undergo monthly physical examinations.

While washing his hands at the sink, a figure suddenly stumbled in and almost bumped into Zhang Shuai'an.

Seeing that she was about to bump into the sink, Zhang Shuai'an immediately reached out and caught her.

The woman looked very young, probably around seventeen or eighteen years old, but she dressed very maturely, wearing high heels, with her hair styled in the currently fashionable big waves, and heavy makeup, which made her look somewhat gaudy and detracted from her natural beauty.

At this moment, a notification sound rang in Zhang Shuai'an's mind:

"Having slight physical contact with Rosamund Kwan, I gained 50 Star Points. The [Charming Eyes] buff has been upgraded, and its effect has increased by another 30%."

"【Name: Rosamund Kwan】"

"[Date of Birth: September 24, 1962]"

"[Debut Date: Not yet debuted]"

"[Future representative works: The Once Upon a Time in China series, Swordsman II, The Adventurers, Big Shot, etc.]"

"【Starlight Level: Half a star (increases by two stars)】"

"[Star Potential: Undebuted (Superstar/Socialite Level)]"

"..."

Looking at these figures, Zhang Shuai'an was astonished. As expected of a future millionaire harvester, he already had half a star before even making his debut. It seems he was already quite famous in certain small circles.

"Cough cough...quack~"

Rosamund Kwan coughed a few times, then opened her mouth as if to vomit.

Zhang Shuai'an quickly helped her up, positioning her mouth towards the sink to prevent her from vomiting on the floor.

"Paper, paper..."

Rosamund Kwan mumbled something indistinctly.

Zhang Shuai'an took a few strips of paper from the cardboard box next to the sink and wiped the filth from her mouth.

"Thank you."

Rosamund Kwan softly thanked him, then suddenly looked up and met Zhang Shuai'an's eyes. She asked with some confusion, "Do...do we know each other?"

Zhang Shuai'an replied with a smile, "Now we can get to know each other. My name is Zhang Shuai'an, what's your name?"

Rosamund Kwan blinked her big eyes and smiled sweetly: "My name is Kwan... no, my name is Rosamund Kwan."

Zhang Shuai'an asked softly, "Why did you drink so much?"

"If I don't drink this much, how will you men have a chance?" Rosamund Kwan said with a hint of self-deprecation. "Don't you men all want to get me drunk and then coax me into bed? I know that all too well."

Zhang Shuai'an didn't refute it. What man wouldn't want such a beauty? Either he's gay, or he can't handle it.

However, Rosamund Kwan is clearly not yet at the peak of her charm and allure that she will later possess.

The most important reason is that Rosamund Kwan will only turn eighteen next year.

Her parents were both movie stars, but they divorced early. Her mother, who favored boys over girls, immigrated abroad with her younger brother, and her father was too lazy to care about her. So she had to support herself from the age of fourteen, and by eighteen she had to start working to earn money to support her family.

This is one of the reasons why she feels particularly insecure and likes to rely on older, wealthy men.

If the timeline unfolds as expected, she'll be dating a fur merchant next year while simultaneously flirting with several wealthy men. Not long after, she'll break up with Peter Wen, and then in 1981, she'll have a whirlwind marriage with a wealthy man surnamed Wang, 16 years her senior, only to divorce him in less than five months.

After that, she moved among various celebrities and wealthy men, becoming a well-known socialite, and getting married and divorced became commonplace for her.

However, Rosamund Kwan herself is very open and has never hidden anything. In "Tonight No Taboos", she spoke very frankly, saying that she has tried all kinds of men. "I have tried men with girlfriends, I have tried men who have been married. I have tried everything, I have done everything. I have tried marriage and divorce."

After vomiting, Rosamund Kwan regained some composure. Leaning against the wall, she looked at Zhang Shuai'an and asked, "Do you also want to date me?"

Zhang Shuai'an replied, "With your beauty, what man wouldn't want to date you?"

"That's straightforward, I like it," Rosamund Kwan said with a smile. "But I like rich people, are you rich?"

Zhang Shuai'an was also very frank: "Not for now, but maybe in the future."

"That's a pity." A hint of disappointment flashed in Rosamund Kwan's eyes. "You're very much to my liking, but I have no interest in any of those ridiculous love stories. I just want to make money, lots and lots of money."

Zhang Shuai'an said, "You're still young, there are other paths you can take."

Rosamund Kwan looked at Zhang Shuai'an with a half-smile: "What, you think you can win me over with your sweet talk just because you're broke?"

"Give it a try, maybe it'll work." Zhang Shuai'an smiled calmly, looking at her with deep affection in his eyes: "Anyway, saying some nice things doesn't cost anything."

Looking into the other person's eyes, Rosamund Kwan felt a slight flutter in her heart, and she hurriedly turned her head away.

"Hey, who are you? Why are you hugging my girl?!"

Before long, a rather tall young man walked over and pointed at Zhang Shuai'an, cursing him.

Rosamund Kwan leaned lightly against Zhang Shuai'an: "Peter, I don't remember ever accepting your advances!"

"Rosa, you clearly promised yesterday..." the tall man said anxiously.

Rosamund Kwan chuckled and said, "You know it was yesterday, right?"

Peter gritted his teeth and said seriously, "You've always wanted that gold watch, haven't you? I'll buy it for you, is that alright?"

"What do you take our relationship for, a transaction?" Rosamund Kwan's expression turned displeased. "Just because you buy me things doesn't mean I have to agree to be your girlfriend. I've misjudged you. Don't come looking for me again."

"Rosa, I... I didn't mean that."

Peter waved his hands repeatedly and explained, "I was wrong, I apologize. This is something I gave to you willingly, without any coercion. There were no conditions attached, is that alright?"

Rosamund Kwan reassured her, "That's more like it. I don't want things between us to become so mercenary, like it's a transaction."

"So what's your relationship with him?" Peter Wen still looked at Zhang Shuai'an with a wary expression.

Rosamund Kwan touched Zhang Shuai'an's face and casually made up a story: "He's an older brother who was my neighbor. I met him when we were little, but he moved away later. I never expected to run into him here after all these years, so we naturally chatted for a bit. I didn't expect you to see us and misunderstand that there's something between us..."

Peter immediately apologized to Zhang Shuai'an: "Brother, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I just cared too much about her, so..."

Zhang Shuai-an found it quite amazing. Rosamund Kwan trains her boyfriends like dogs, no wonder she can easily handle so many wealthy men in the future. She is indeed quite capable.

Of course, Peter Wen is still young and hasn't experienced much of the ups and downs of life. Real wealthy men like Lin Jianyue, Liu Luanxiong, and Ma Qingwei have long been worldly-wise and experienced; their relationship with her is just a charade, a mutual exchange for personal gain.

Zhang Shuai'an watched the two of them walk away, washed his hands again, and then returned to the dance hall.

As a result, he witnessed a scene that shocked him: the groups of martial arts masters were actually fighting!
