Chapter 149 Chance Encounter
By the time I came to my senses, it was too late to stop him. All I could do was shout behind him, "Didn't you just promise me? How can you go back on your word?"
"Who said I was going back on my word? I'm going out to make a phone call." He said he was making a call, but he went to the bathroom. I felt his expression was too strange, and I couldn't figure it out for a moment.
When he returned, his face was dripping with water, and his hair was damp. Xu Qing, who was standing next to him, suddenly chuckled.
Ge Zeyu immediately looked up and glared at him, his expression extremely displeased. "If you laugh again, what you told me before is null and void."
Xu Qing immediately suppressed his smile; if his lips hadn't twitched, his expression might have been more genuine.
Ge Zeyu sat down next to me and casually placed the scalded bowl and chopsticks beside me. "Don't throw yourself at just anyone in the future!"
His tone sounded somewhat dissatisfied, yet inexplicably carried a sense of lecturing.
I was stunned for a moment, feeling completely bewildered. When did I ever throw myself at someone?
Before I could ask, the two men started talking about the land in the east of the city, saying that this time they would definitely make him suffer a great loss, and that the man surnamed Gao would not get any benefits from Changxin.
Ge Zeyu told Xu Qing that the most crucial thing was that he already had the evidence in his hands, and he planned to confront them directly in court. With the evidence and testimony, the Fu family would have no way to deny it.
Xu Qing poured himself a cup of tea, and his eyes lit up when he heard this. "It's quite a coincidence, actually. I was just planning to run into someone from the court tonight. They might be able to help us."
"Why don't you come with me? We tricked Gao, he's definitely not going to let it go. And Chang Xin behind him is quite cunning, so we need to be prepared."
After hearing this, Ge Zeyu nodded, and I immediately perked up, seizing the opportunity between the two of them to interject, "I want to go too!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Ge Zeyu's face full of disapproval, as if he was about to refuse. I quickly said before he could speak, "I also want to take this opportunity to get to know the people in the court. Maybe one day when I sue my dad, I can get the shares back."
Xu Qing was also there and said a few kind words on my behalf, so Ge Zeyu didn't refuse.
When evening came, the three of us arrived at Xueting Club, which is considered one of the top five clubs in our area.
The reason it's called Xueting is said to be because it's named after the owner's wife. Among the top five clubs, this is the only one with a female owner, so she knows people from all walks of life and has a wide network of connections.
I've heard about the story of the owner behind this club, and I admire him quite a bit. To be able to fight your way up among men, he must be a man of character and ability.
As soon as we arrived at the club, Luo Xueting came out to greet us personally. Her gaze swept over the three of us, and then she said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, I have arranged your private room next to that person's."
"Thank you, Mr. Luo." Xu Qing thanked him politely, then took out a check and handed it over.
Luo Xueting beamed even more, her bright eyes sparkling with charm. With a graceful sway of her hips, she took the check with two fingers, kissed it, and said, "Mr. Xu, rest assured, I told you long ago that with money, anything can be done here."
After saying that, she led us inside, opened a private room, and squatted down in front of us to pour drinks while saying in a low voice, "Have you all thought about how to get to know the people next to you? If not, how about I give you some ideas?"
Her initiative to speak piqued my curiosity. This chance encounter had to be handled discreetly, otherwise it could easily leave a lingering suspicion and wariness in the minds of those we wanted to get to know.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask, "What method?"
When Luo Xueting heard me speak, she was taken aback for a moment, then looked me up and down. “It’s good to be young. I’m happy just looking at your pretty face. I’ll give you a 5% discount for you, young lady.”
Money really can make the devil turn the millstone. I thought she wanted to ask us for a favor, but I didn't expect her to bring up money right away.
But this is fine too. Getting money is better than getting a favor. With that thought, I turned to Xu Qing and said, "Mr. Xu, please pay!"
Xu Qing handed over another check, and Luo Xueting took his hand and wrote two or three words in his palm.
Once Xu Qing withdrew her hand, she asked Luo Xueting to call as many hostesses as possible.
Not only that, he also asked her to order ten top-tier set meals for the private room, and said that he would give her 500 yuan for every drink she came to his room.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xueting immediately stood up happily and praised Xu Qing for being handsome, affectionate, and promising, showering him with all sorts of flattering words.
After saying that, he immediately turned around and shouted outside. The waiter gave him a few instructions, and soon our private room became lively.
A steady stream of beautiful women entered the private room, even forming two orderly lines. They enthusiastically drank a glass of wine, took their money, and left.
I sat next to Ge Zeyu, and the two of us sat in the corner watching Xu Qing's expressionless work. I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Aren't we supposed to get to know the people next door?"
“That’s right!” Ge Zeyu told me that the reason for making such a commotion was to lure the people next door over in person.
If they take the initiative to make friends, they might be ripped off, but if they spend a little money to create a lively atmosphere, the hostesses next door will definitely be attracted over.
When the neighbor feels neglected, they'll definitely come over to argue, and then we can take the opportunity to get to know each other.
Hearing him say that, I finally understood what they were up to. Xu Qing truly lived up to his reputation as a shrewd businessman; he could even come up with such a cunning scheme.
Not long after, the door to the private room was indeed pushed open forcefully, and a refined-looking man with slightly flushed cheeks and wearing glasses walked in with a displeased expression.
He grabbed one of the women's arms and snapped, "What's wrong with you? You look down on me, don't you? I'm paying you to drink with me, and you said you needed to go to the restroom, but you've been gone for so long, and here you are!"
After saying that, she shoved him without any politeness. The hostess in the short skirt fell onto the table instantly, and the wine tower was knocked over and shattered on the floor.
The other hostesses in the room screamed and scattered as they ran outside.
