Chapter 82: Men and Women Are All in the Same Boat

Pei Nanli and the others found a quiet booth, and several male customers' gazes followed them.

Yang Fang wore a look of pride on his face; that group must be envious of him being embraced on both sides, and though it was fake, he felt secretly pleased inside.

Pei Nanli wore an icy expression, with nothing around her.

Xin Chanxi glared back at those male customers with a sharp gaze.

Sun Ying curiously surveyed the bar; her view was somewhat blocked by the counter, so she did not notice Wang Chuan withdrawing his gaze.

Over at the counter, Wang Chuan began using base spirits like bourbon whisky, ginger beer, and fresh lemon juice, finally adding a few drops of Angostura bitters to make a Midnight Emergency Rescue, which he handed to Doctor Wu Qinghua.

Wu Qinghua took a sip, his eyes lighting up: "Whoa! Strong! Sweet, sour, and a hint of bitter."

Lu Na, standing nearby, explained, "After a Midnight Emergency Surgery, the arms are sore and the eyes are sore; one word: bitter. But saving one life is better than building a Seven-Tier Pagoda, so the heart is sweet."

"About right, that's the meaning," Wang Chuan replied.

"By order, I'm second; give me the same one." Attending Physician Zhang Yang heard this explanation and his interest grew greatly.

Wang Chuan quickly mixed another Midnight Emergency Rescue, then raised his eyes to glance over.

Beep, a text message arrived; Wang Chuan looked down: "Brother, have you reached the outside of the back kitchen?"

He hurriedly replied: "I just arrived."

"I'm going to the washroom; Master, you help me mix a drink." Wang Chuan said this to Liu Jieke on the other side.

Hearing this, Lu Na followed Wang Chuan's gaze; the bar acquaintance turned out to be the bar's bartender, wearing a shiny earring in his right ear, very distinctive.

Li Wei and Wang Jia raised their hands simultaneously, "Mix one for me first."

Lu Na's gaze fell on Wang Chuan walking toward the washroom; quickly turning a corner, Wang Chuan vanished from sight.

At the washroom entrance, he turned on the faucet, washed his face, grabbed a waitress, and asked for the location of the back kitchen.

Then striding boldly into the back kitchen, Wang Chuan revealed his identity to the person in charge of the back kitchen, telling him that a girl would be coming in later and not to stop her from opening the back kitchen door.

Arriving in the alley, he found Xu Jin leaning against the wall.

Xu Jin's eyes lit up: "Big Brother Wang Chuan, how did you come out from inside?"

"Kicked out!" Wang Chuan walked outside, leaned against the wall with Xu Jin, and sighed, "Wait for Xin Chanxi to come, and she'll take us in."

"Big Brother Wang Chuan, may I ask a question?"

"Just talking about it; we've known each other for eight days."

At the Yuanmao Mall cold drink shop, Wang Chuan saw Senior Year classmate Xu Jin's expression and guessed this person had been rejected by Xin Chanxi.

"Oh~" Xu Jin was a bit surprised, not expecting Wang Chuan to know he was about to ask, "How long have you and Xin Chanxi known each other?"

"Classmate Sun Ying is not bad either." Wang Chuan patted Xu Jin's shoulder.

"We confirmed our relationship after the college entrance exam. Without my family's background, Sun Ying wouldn't have taken a liking to me." Xu Jin's voice was low.

Wang Chuan didn't expect Xu Jin to see things so clearly and asked, "Do you like Sun Ying?"

"I do!"

"Then that's fine. A girl liking you for your looks, humor, or personality isn't much nobler than liking you for your money."

Xu Jin asked in confusion, "Why?"

"If Sun Ying were ugly, you definitely wouldn't like her. You like her because of her looks, so why can't she like you because you're rich? Besides, if you feel bad inside, you can reject her. But you didn't..."

"All living beings, men and women, are all in the same boat, right? Don't be damn arrogant and claim you're more noble~"

After Wang Chuan finished speaking, he patted his lower pocket, finding nothing.

Oh, this was twenty-year-old himself; at this time, he had no lighter, no cigarettes.

Creak, the door was pushed open. "Wang Chuan, Xu Jin, hurry and come in," Xin Chanxi said with a smile.

Under Xin Chanxi's lead, Wang Chuan and Xu Jin turned left and right all the way to the bar hall and walked toward the booth.

"Wang Chuan, how did you get in?" Pei Nanli looked shocked, and Yang Fang beside her was also surprised.

Xin Chanxi pulled Wang Chuan to sit down. "I just went to the back kitchen, opened the door, and let them in. This is Sun Ying's classmate's boyfriend, Xu Jin, also a classmate."

She added another sentence: "Anyway, since we're in, they won't check the Invitation Card again; who would know if we don't say anything?"

Pei Nanli spoke: "Wang Chuan, you absolutely had to come to this bar, didn't you?"

Her understanding was that Wang Chuan, to keep an eye on her and Yang Fang, used the sentiment of learning to drive together to get his junior sister Xin Chanxi to help.

Yang Fang inwardly snorted; Wang Chuan is really impressive!

He said coldly, "This is a violation, isn't it? If the bar finds out, we'll be kicked out. By then, Wang Chuan, you being kicked out will be very embarrassing. Look, there are at least five Security Guards at the bar entrance and inside."

Sun Ying heard that Pei Nanli and Yang Fang disliked Wang Chuan coming to the bar, so she definitely had to help Young Miss Xin.

"Doctor Yang, aren't you very familiar with the boss of this Nanshan Blue Fire Bar? Just say hello; no problem, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Chuan thought, When did you, Yang Fang, get to know Lin Weiwei? On the first day of internship, Lin Weiwei came out of a Porsche, and he didn't seem to know Lin Weiwei either. 'Damn, a common tactic in the process of chasing girls: bragging and showing off.'

'Yang Fang, let you show off~'

Wang Chuan deliberately sat next to Yang Fang. "Attending Physician Yang, Teacher Yang, usually you might have some misunderstandings about me. I don't want to be kicked out either; go talk to your friend, the bar boss."

"Being kicked out is too embarrassing."

Hearing that Wang Chuan might be kicked out, Xin Chanxi felt anxious. "Doctor Yang, please help. How much is the ticket price? Whatever it is, I'll pay."

Seeing this, Wang Chuan worried Xin Chanxi would directly take out her Mobile Phone and show her Alipay balance: 450,000.

However, in 2004, Alipay didn't have these functions yet. By October 2006, Alipay and China Construction Bank launched the 'Alipay Dragon Card,' achieving for the first time the binding of bank accounts with Alipay accounts.

Rustle, Xin Chanxi opened her small backpack and pulled out a stack of banknotes, almost 10,000.

Before coming, she had been reminded by Sun Ying and Xu Jin at the cold drink shop that if they couldn't get in, she should prepare to bribe the back kitchen staff with money.

As a result, entering the back kitchen faced no obstacles, and the money wasn't spent.

Pei Nanli looked shocked; what kind of bewitching soup did Wang Chuan feed this Xin Chanxi, casually pulling out 10,000 yuan?

Immediately, a strange sense of crisis appeared in her heart, and she blurted out, "Teacher Yang, why don't you contact the bar boss."

Yang Fang saw the others staring at him; if he didn't ask, he would be suspected of having bragged earlier outside the bar about knowing the bar boss, and his persona would collapse.

"As your Intern's supervising teacher, I'll make the call, but I can't guarantee success." Yang Fang prepared to rise and leave to make the call.

Wang Chuan's lips curled upward; he stopped Yang Fang and said, "Teacher Yang, why not sit here and make the call? I'd like to hear the Bar Boss's voice too."

Xin Chanxi nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes. If it doesn't work, I'll speak to this Boss myself and buy the tickets with money."

Seeing Yang Fang still hesitating, Wang Chuan said, "Teacher Yang, you surely know the Bar Boss. If all else fails, I actually know someone familiar at the Bar too."

"How could that be? I don't know the Bar Boss!" Yang Fang had no choice but to sit down and dial Tang Fei's Mobile Phone number.

Beep-beep-beep-beep~~~~~

Everyone leaned in, hearing a female voice from Yang Fang's Mobile Phone: "The number you have dialed is switched off."

Yang Fang's face turned red then white. "Tang Ge, why did you switch off your phone!"

Tang Fei was sitting on a plane heading to Europe; the plane was flying across the Sky over the Ganges River in India.
