Chapter 203: Drunkenness

~8 min read 1,443 words

After this DJ segment ended, Mou Lili had to go up to sing again; she was singing an English song now.

Ling Feng returned to the bar counter, and before long, several women gathered around him.

These women had come to the bar to have some fun and, incidentally, to see if there were any men they liked.

In a place like a bar, true love is impossible, but casual flings are fine.

Seeing beauties approach, Ling Feng turned his head and forgot all about Mou Lili.

He bought the beauties drinks and played dice and games with them; whoever lost had to drink or reveal something about themselves, such as where they worked, what their WeChat ID was, or where they lived.

By the time Mou Lili came over, Ling Feng was already nearly drunk.

A beauty took his wallet out of his pocket and looked at his ID card.

Suddenly, the beauty exclaimed, "My god, he lives in a certain compound in the First Ring."

"The First Ring? A certain compound?"

"That's not a place ordinary people can live; the houses there are priceless and rare, and even if you were the richest person, it would be hard to buy one."

"Oh, my god."

Seeing this, the women began to calculate their own interests.

One said, "A Shan, I already let you have that sucker last time whose family owned a company; you should let me have this one, right?"

The one called A Shan said, "Don't even mention it; that one last time was a fake. He claimed his family owned a company, but he actually just ran an auto repair shop. How about I pass him to you, and you go hit on him?"

Another said, "Fake or not, I've given all the previous ones to you; this one has to be my turn, right?"

As they talked, they started to argue and even began shoving each other.

The one called "A Shan" even wanted to secretly hide Ling Feng's ID card.

Mou Lili arrived at this moment and said, "Stop that, all of you!"

Everyone looked over.

Mou Lili pointed at A Shan: "Take out his wallet."

A Shan asked, "Who are you to him?"

Mou Lili said, "This person is not someone you can afford to provoke."

After saying this, she walked up to A Shan, took back Ling Feng's wallet, stuffed it back into Ling Feng's pocket, and then hoisted Ling Feng up, preparing to walk out.

The women were stunned for a moment, not expecting Mou Lili to be so strong.

But once they reacted, the women became indignant: "Who do you think you are? You're just a bar singer; why can you take him away, but we can't?"

Mou Lili turned back and said, "Because this is my turf."

At this time, two bar security guards came over and asked Mou Lili, "Sister Li, do you need any help here?"

Mou Lili said, "Keep a close eye on the floor, especially those who are drunk; don't let them get picked up by others, or we won't be able to bear the consequences."

"Yes!" The two security guards stared fixedly at the women.

The women dared not stop Mou Lili anymore; they only dared to mutter to themselves: "Don't let others pick people up, yet she picks up anyone herself."

"Sigh, who told her this is her turf."

North America.

The next morning, Bai Shunan received several calls from foreigners; some expressed interest in her and hoped for future cooperation opportunities because her performance at the dance party last night was exceptional.

Two others wanted to meet her to discuss cooperation.

One invited her to play golf today, and the other invited her to dinner.

The times did not overlap, so she could go play golf first.

She changed into sportswear, tidied up a bit, and went out; following the address provided by the client, she took a taxi to the golf course.

The sun was bright today, the grass was very green, and since the client was a VIP here, someone came to receive her as soon as she arrived.

She took a sightseeing cart to the area where the client was, and to her surprise, she saw not only the middle-aged M Country client who had called her but also Gu Yunting.

Bai Shunan was suspicious: Could Gu Yunting have been the one pushing for this client to call her so quickly to discuss cooperation?

Sure enough, this client named Jackson said to her as soon as they met, "Hello, Miss Bai. Mr. Gu and I are on good terms; he told me about your situation. It just so happens that I have business in South America, and perhaps your new energy vehicles could be promoted there."

Hearing about the South American market, Bai Shunan immediately became very interested. She looked at Gu Yunting and said, "Thank you for the introduction, Mr. Gu."

Gu Yunting curled his lips and said in Chinese, "What are you thanking me for? With our relationship, is there any need to say thanks?"

Fearing the client would suspect them of flirting, Bai Shunan continued to speak earnestly in English: "If thanks are due, they must be said."

This conversation went very smoothly.

Bai Shunan accompanied the client to play golf, and the business was settled while they played. After they finished, the client's Secretary drafted the contract for Bai Shunan to sign.

Gu Yunting followed Bai Shunan out of the golf course. "How are you getting back? How about I give you a ride?"

Bai Shunan said, "I don't want to get on a pirate ship again."

Gu Yunting said, "Haven't you noticed something wrong with the way I'm walking today?"

"I noticed it a long time ago," Bai Shunan said.

Everyone was playing golf together today, and Gu Yunting's right foot was limping as he walked on the grass; needless to say, it was from being stepped on by Bai Shunan's high heels last night.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, Gu Yunting's face was flushed red from the sun.

"Nannan, that kick of yours was truly ruthless. What were you afraid of at the time?"

Bai Shunan paused: "What else could I be afraid of? Naturally, I was afraid of a lecher like you."

"No, you were afraid of falling in love with me again," Gu Yunting said confidently.

"I have never loved you."

"You clearly did; you just didn't dare to admit it before," Gu Yunting said, appearing aggressive.

"I can't be bothered to talk to you about this."

There were taxis right outside the golf course; Bai Shunan got into one, and just as she was about to close the door, Gu Yunting squeezed in as well.

"Why are you getting in?" Bai Shunan asked.

Gu Yunting said willfully, "Wherever you go, I go."

"I'm going back to the hotel to rest; I have a dinner engagement tonight and need to save my energy."

Gu Yunting acted like a child and pestered her, "Then I'll take you back to the hotel."

"Then you aren't allowed to follow me upstairs."

"I promise I won't go upstairs."

Bai Shunan then let him follow.

On the way, Gu Yunting said to Bai Shunan, "Is the person you're having dinner with tonight Wells?"

"How did you know?"

"I know that man; his business methods aren't very clean, and his way of collaborating is absolutely to his own advantage, never letting others take even the slightest benefit. Even if you make money, he takes the lion's share. If you really intend to work with him, you must be careful."

"I know."

Back at the hotel, Bai Shunan got out of the taxi, and Gu Yunting truly did not follow her out; he didn't even get out of the car, only waving at Bai Shunan from inside.

Bai Shunan walked into the hotel without looking back.

However, once she walked inside, she couldn't help but lean against the glass window to watch that taxi.

The taxi had already reached the corner ahead, and in a short while, it was out of sight.

She turned around, the corners of her mouth curling up unconsciously.

Back in the country, Ling Feng woke up in the same hotel room again.

He looked up at the familiar smoke detector, then turned to glance at the person beside him.

The person beside him was already awake and was playing a newly released game on her phone.

As if she had a sixth sense, her gaze remained on the phone screen, but she spoke up, "Awake?"

Ling Feng sat up: "Why is it you again?"
