"With Xiaonan with me, why would I take them to a place like that?"
I glanced at him sideways: "Is this some kind of scheme, like Xiang Zhuang performing a sword dance with a hidden agenda?"
These words were too damaging to unity. Liu Bang hid his head in his collar and looked around for a long time before he felt relieved.
It should be said that his real intention was not in the wine.
Jin Shaoyan smiled wryly: "Can you stop treating me like a thief? Besides, Xiaonan isn't the kind of woman who's all looks and no brains. She can definitely tell who's sincere towards her."
I said, "The problem is that they have big breasts. You rich kids usually lack maternal love, so you can't help yourself when you see a woman with plenty of breast milk."
Jin Shaoyan said, both amused and exasperated, "In the past, I would never have imagined spending more than a minute with someone like you. You're just like a scoundrel."
I retorted angrily, "Don't insult me! What do you mean 'like'? You're a complete scoundrel!"
Liu Bang: "Who called me?"
...
Jin Shaoyan said, "When you meet him, you must not speak like that. It's best to be even more humble. You should know that the people he deals with every day are all of high status, and they all treat him with great respect."
I turned to Qin Shi Huang and said, "Brother Ying!"
What's wrong?
"You're a fake."
Qin Shi Huang laughed and retorted, "You're the one who's just a skinny fool."
I looked at Jin Shaoyan and said, "See this? This is the founding emperor of our China."
Jin Shaoyan, covered in sweat, said, "Then I won't care about you anymore. Anyway, I'll give you half of the deposit the day you officially lock him up, no matter what method you use, even if you become friends with him at a street food stall."
I suddenly asked him with great interest, "If someone asked you to meet them at a street food stall, would you go?"
Jin Shaoyan said with difficulty, "No one has ever done this before, so it's hard for me to answer your question—what the book says is that the person you can't figure out the most is actually yourself."
What if Xiaonan asked you out?
Jin Shaoyan's eyes lit up: "I'll definitely go."
I called Li Shishi over and dialed Jin Shaoyan No. 1's number to her: "Tell him that you met that girl in Caesar and asked him to meet you at Wayaogou later."
Jin Shaoyan hadn't yet realized anything was wrong. He said excitedly, "You've finally agreed to let Xiaonan see him—Wayaogou? To eat wild game?"
Do you think he'll leave the foxtail grass behind to see Xiaonan?
"Of course... Um... I've been thinking, but Wayaogou doesn't seem to have any famous wild game restaurants."
"Not to mention famous ones, there aren't even any unknown ones, there's only one ramen shop."
Jin Shaoyan knew a bit about my way of doing things, and he said cautiously, "You're not going to let them actually meet there, are you?"
After Li Shishi finished her call, I paid the bill and said to Jin Shaoyan, "Of course not, because we're going home to sleep."
"That……"
I pointed at Squirrel Boy and said, "I just wanted to make you give up on that idea! You'll have to accept the good deal. I'm being kind by not sending you to another province. Besides, a man only has so many lives, and I've even saved you some money tonight."
Baozi started dozing off on the way. This woman acts like she's seeing an enemy when it comes to alcohol; every time she goes out with friends, I have to tell her to drink less. Despite Baozi's appearance, I was still a little worried about her walking home alone after drinking too much, because part of her route home is unlit, and the darker the light, the more dangerous it is for Baozi, unless the perpetrator has a habit of shining a flashlight on the victim's face before committing the crime.
Everyone seemed preoccupied throughout the journey. Fatty Ying was sleepy from eating, Jin Shaoyan and Xiang Yu were sullen, only Jing Ersha's transistor radio kept chattering: "Next up is the weather forecast. Our city will have another sunny day tomorrow..."
When we got to the front door, I hoisted the sleeping Baozi onto my shoulder and asked Jin Shaoyan, "Want to come up for a bit?"
Jin Shaoyan got into his sports car and said dejectedly, "No, I'm going back to the hotel. I'll pick everyone up tomorrow. Of course, except for you, you have important things to do."
I looked at him and laughed, saying, "You're not going to call him and tell him not to wait around like an idiot, are you?" Only after saying that did I realize that Jin Shaoyan couldn't hear me at all.
Before leaving, Jin Shaoyan told me: "Tell them to wear more clothes tomorrow, the weather forecast is wrong, it will rain tomorrow..."
Baozi owed a colleague a favor from that day's shift change and promised to cover for them for two days, so she woke up in the morning and left again. Jin Shaoyan somehow managed to get a large Mercedes-Benz van and picked everyone up early in the morning.
It was a very enjoyable trip. It was the first group entirely composed of my clients. Li Shishi's books filled half the cart. Jin Shaoyan hired a local guide for Liu Bang; she was the ugliest and worst-performing woman in their travel agency, but Liu Bang was very satisfied with her. As for Qin Shi Huang, Jin Shaoyan simply gave him a bundle of 100-yuan bills, telling him to just throw a few over whatever he wanted to eat. Qin Shi Huang then truly understood the benefits of wealth; wherever he went, there was a scene of revelry and celebration. Later, at a diamond shop, a small misunderstanding occurred—he mistook the small white crystals for rock candy. ...
I slept until after 10 a.m. when I was woken up by a phone call. My boss, Lao Hao, said in a very casual tone, "Have you opened for business recently?" My heart skipped a beat, and I subconsciously said, "Mr. Hao, that money... I need to borrow it for a bit. I'll pay it back with interest in a month at most." Lao Hao chuckled and said, "No problem, just let me know if you need more."
Sigh, what can you say when you encounter a boss like this? Although people in the underworld say that Lao Hao is cunning and shrewd, and has been unkind in some matters, he's been quite kind to me, even if it was all insincere. But what enabled the transition from a slave society to a feudal society? Wasn't it when slave owners started treating slaves well? It shows that people can't stand being polite. Besides, I don't think being a slave is so bad; at least you're destined to have a job from birth.
Looks like we need to hurry up and get that thing done; nothing can be accomplished without money. We can't just let 300 stay in a hotel, can we? Some things require advance planning and funding.
I picked up the phone and dialed "Jin Shaoyan (1)". It took a long time for the other party to answer. Before he could speak, he sneezed: "I stood on the barren mountain and waited for you for half the night yesterday. Why didn't you come?"
I yawned silently, then, in a high-pitched voice, mimicking the pretty boys on TV, said, "Excuse me, I am Ms. Wang's agent. Ms. Wang is interested in joining your company. What are your thoughts?"
Jin Shaoyan, in his delayed version, paused for a moment and said, "Miss Wang?"
"Oh, that's Ms. Wang Yuannan, who asked you out yesterday. She had to catch a flight to Texas yesterday because of an urgent matter, and she specifically asked me to apologize to you for it."
Jin Shaoyan's voice turned cold. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Come to my office at 2:30 this afternoon." Then he hung up the phone.
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Substituting One Thing for Another
Damn it, Kim I is clearly much more powerful than Kim II. He wouldn't even give me a specific address when I asked him to come find me.
But that's understandable. If I were a model agent who frequently flew to Texas, there would be no reason I wouldn't know about Jinting Film and Television Company's local branch. Even if I were a model agent who often went to Dezhou, Shandong, this would be common sense.
