Without delay, he pulled several bills from his bag and slipped them into their open cleavages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks for your hard work today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls beamed; Yan Li waved them off, and the others left quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the curly-haired beauty who’d accompanied him refused to leave; she clung to Yan Li, rubbing against him, cooing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, I’m hungry—take me out for late-night snacks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li pulled his hand free, his tone gentle but firm: “I’m not hungry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curly-haired girl glanced at his face, recalling the smooth muscle lines and imposing presence she’d felt earlier, and tried again: “I’ll pay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really not hungry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li refused again; the curly-haired girl had no choice but to slip him a business card before leaving reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jiachuan, who’d stayed silent earlier, whispered once they were gone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, we hadn’t even reached the time limit yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at your pitiful state.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li shot him a glare; this kid, when he first came along, had looked like he was being dragged to Liangshan, utterly disgusted—how quickly he’d become addicted, sinking into depravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is all part of networking—just playing along. Don’t take it seriously, and don’t get carried away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li felt he needed to give Lin Jiachuan a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid wasn’t like him—he hadn’t tasted the finer things, hadn’t seen much of the world; because the system had given him insight into certain matters, he knew his limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid was still green, easily swept up in impulses—he needed frequent reminders to avoid trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, someone knocked on the door; Yan Li assumed it was staff coming to clean and told them to enter—he was ready to head home with Lin Jiachuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the ones who entered were Wang Luodan and two other girls he’d met earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Yan Li, hello.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls entered, sweetly greeted him, and Wang Luodan introduced them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li understood immediately—planning to brush them off with a few casual words, he saw Lin Jiachuan frantically signaling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The escort girls earlier were complicated; Senior Yan forbade contact—understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these were Beijing Film Academy juniors—surely he could at least get to know them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li internally sighed; look at your own level—how dare you even think about any girl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, this kid betrayed him, took a brutal beating, then begged Dong Xuan to set him up with her friend, boasting he’d become Yan Li’s brother-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lasted barely a few rounds before being rejected; Dong Xuan pleaded on his behalf to no avail, and Yan Li and Zhou Yiwei mocked him thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing a junior girl again, he’s already getting greedy—never learns from his mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jiachuan, unaware of Yan Li’s thoughts, warmly welcomed the girls and even paid out of his own pocket for two new fruit platters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls showered him with praise, then circled Yan Li, speaking and toasting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh～\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li couldn’t bear to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The juniors were too young—unable to hide their intentions was understandable, but their favoritism was painfully obvious; at least give the others a smile of comfort…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: In the new year, may everyone smile often, stay healthy, enjoy family happiness, and have all wishes fulfilled…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1487,"2026-06-19T16:16:52.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ba8919a0d745465170c45dd01a28b6cb7eb7b6f68f6abbe8f1c2ad8e02308d63","the-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-chapter-62","the-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-chapter-60",405,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-cover.jpg"]
