Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Hearing that Lin Qingxia was willing to take her to the "sexy world", Zhang Manyu was so happy that she almost jumped up. She patted her flat belly and promised solemnly: "Sister Xia, don't worry!"

After saying this, she seemed to feel that this assurance was not strong enough, and added:

"I just wanted to go and see the male models there, but I felt embarrassed to go alone. So when I heard you were going to take Sister Fang with you, I pestered you."

Lin Qingxia looked at her innocent and excited appearance, and couldn't help but smile gently. She knew very well the curiosity and desire of young people for the unknown world, so she stopped blaming her too much.

He just gently reminded: "Remember, we are just going there to have a look, don't be fooled by those fancy appearances."

Zhang Manyu's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she couldn't wait to step into the legendary world of "sensual pleasures". She hugged Lin Qingxia tightly: "Sister Xia, you are so nice!"

After the two agreed on the action plan for the evening, Zhang Manyu excitedly returned to her post, wiped the tears from the corners of her mouth, and began to look forward to the scene of the man with abdominal muscles in the evening.

At the same time, on the other side, Liu Xu was sitting behind a large desk, holding the financial statements of four nightclubs and fifteen bars in his hands, his eyes sharp as he carefully examined every number.

When his eyes fell on the recent turnover record of the "Sounds, Colors, Dogs and Horses" nightclub, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked up at Li Hangluo, who was sitting upright beside him, in disbelief, with a tone full of doubt:

"What's going on with this 'Sounds, Colors, and Dogs'? How come the total revenue in just seven months is more than half of the revenue of the other three nightclubs?"

Li Hangluo felt Liu Xu's sharp gaze and touched his nose involuntarily. His face flushed slightly and he looked a little uneasy. He coughed twice and tried to respond in a relaxed tone:

"Xu...Xu, brother, it's like this. The specific situation is a bit complicated. Um... Anyway, some changes have occurred."

Liu Xu obviously didn't have the patience to listen to his tongue twisters, so he interrupted him directly, rolled his eyes, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Stop fooling around with me. Where's the tongue twister? Explain it to me quickly."

Li Hangluo smiled awkwardly and looked at Liu Xu's gradually becoming fierce eyes. He knew that hiding it any further would only put himself in a worse situation.

He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and whispered, "Actually, I trained a group of male models."

"That's all?" Liu Xu frowned, looking at Li Hangluo's hesitant expression, and gently rubbed his wrist, as if hinting at something.

Li Hangluo saw this and knew that if he hesitated any longer, he would only get beaten up by the boss, so he immediately showed a look of despair and told the whole story like pouring out beans:

"I didn't let the male models I arranged wear shirts, and they were divided into groups of three, for a total of twelve groups. Each group had to dance on the stage for a full hour to attract the attention of customers."

"After the dance, depending on the table with the highest alcohol consumption during that period, the members of this group need to accompany the guests at that table to drink until dawn."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xu stood up in an instant, with a gloomy face, looking down at Li Hangluo, and asked word by word with gritted teeth:

"Will you still need to sleep with the guests next? I think you've been itching for trouble lately. You actually dared to organize such a borderline activity. Isn't this prostitution in disguise?"

Li Hangluo saw Liu Xu walking towards him with his fists clenched, and he was so scared that he quickly waved his hands, "No, Brother Xu, I just arranged for them to accompany me for drinking, and there was no other illegal transaction involved. I didn't sell them, I really didn't sell them!"

"If they hadn't sold anything, how could the profit in July be close to the combined profit of the two nightclubs?" Liu Xu pressed on, not letting up.

Li Hangluo scratched his head and said helplessly, "That's because those male models are handsome and have eight-pack abs, so they naturally attract a lot of girls."

"With more beautiful young girls, there are more wealthy men. The combination of the two will naturally lead to higher consumption."

As he said this, he pretended to be surprised, "Brother Xu, you haven't seen how crazy those beauties are. They want to drink until their stomachs perforate!"

After listening to Li Hangluo's explanation, Liu Xu instantly understood the whole story. He laughed, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "You are really a business genius! You can even come up with such an idea."

Suddenly, Liu Xu seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at the signature on the bill of la carte of the "Sounds, Colors, Dogs and Horses" nightclub again and asked tentatively, "Did Tanzai come up with this idea?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hangluo nodded, confirming Liu Xu's guess.

Liu Xu nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face:

"That's right. I didn't expect that Tanzi is not only smart, but also has such a unique business vision. He is simply a perfect example. I have noted his contribution. Tell him that I will reward him well at the end of the year."

On the sixth floor, Li Hangluo returned to the entertainment company with a stern face. After confirming that there was no one around, he stamped his feet and suddenly burst into a hearty laugh, muttering some slang and jokes:

"Ma Landan, you're such a jerk. Hahahahahaha..."

Just as he was laughing so hard that he fell backwards, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a "clang" sound, and Tanzi and Ah Hai walked in with curious faces, their eyes full of inquiry.

"Brother Luo, what are you so happy about? Let us share it with you."

Seeing that the visitor was two of his most trusted confidants, Li Hangluo quickly suppressed his smile, took a deep breath, and calmed down the smile in his heart. Then he waved his hand and said calmly:

"Nothing, just a joke suddenly occurred to me, nothing much to share."

As he spoke, his eyes flashed with cunning light: "Tanzi, the effect of the 'male model transformation plan' you implemented is amazing, and the sales revenue has achieved explosive growth."

"In addition, Brother Xu praised you highly after he found out, saying that you have the attributes of a stable, haha~"

Hearing this, Tanzai and Ah Hai looked at each other, and saw confusion and puzzlement in each other's eyes.

Suddenly, Tanzai seemed to remember something, his face darkened instantly, he stood up, his tone full of dissatisfaction: "Brother Luo, I want to complain to Lao Ding, you actually laughed at the label that Lao Ding defined for me!"

Ah Hai also reacted at this time and started laughing secretly.

When Li Hangluo saw that Tanzi really turned around and walked out of the office door, his heart tightened and his scalp tingled. He quickly ran to stop him, clasped his hands together, and said sincerely:

"No, no, no, Danzi, I apologize. I express my most sincere apologies to you, your boss. I really didn't mean it just now. Please forgive me."

As he said that, he pushed Tanzi back to the sofa in the office and poured a cup of hot tea himself: "Come, Tanzi, drink some tea! I apologize, I reflect on myself, I was definitely not laughing at you just now, but at myself."

Tanzai looked at Li Hangluo's sincere expression and saw that his shoulders were still shaking slightly. He was obviously trying to hold back his laughter. He rolled his eyes, took the hot tea in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp:

"Brother Luo, Ah Hai and I are looking for you because of something at the bar."

Li Hangluo's expression suddenly changed after hearing this, and he instantly became serious: "Oh? What happened at the bar?"
