As she listened to her words, Feifei’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Since someone wants to join, I naturally welcome it. Ladies, please get in the car."
Lan Shuixian and Xiaofeng were taken together to the dance hall. Since they had just eaten lunch, there weren’t many people there.
The two were directly taken into a private room and then no one showed up again.
Sitting on the sofa, Shui Xian felt somewhat uneasy, "Xiaofeng, how can you be so bold? They wanted to take you away, and you just came along. Look at this place; it’s clearly not a good place. Do you think she wants to keep us here and then have us accompany the guests for drinks or something?"
"Shui Xian, don’t be nervous. They know who I am. They wouldn’t do anything rash to me for a while. As for leaving me here, it’s probably because I just didn’t give them face, and she wants to regain the upper hand," Xiaofeng replied.
"Xiaofeng, you’re really brave. But I’m telling you, this place is very dark. I once thought about working here part-time, but less than a night later, I didn’t want to continue. Do you know how disgusting the clients here are? They won’t miss a chance to lay a hand on you."
"You also worked part-time at a dance hall?"
"Before setting up a stall, naturally, I looked for jobs that made quick money. I heard that working as a drink girl at a dance hall paid well, so I went. But then a client harassed me, I didn’t even take my salary, I just ran away. Xiaofeng, do you think she’s keeping us here to lock us up and then send us somewhere else to make money?"
Hearing her continuously frighten herself, Xiaofeng smiled slightly, "Shui Xian, it’s okay. Don’t overthink it. By the way, are you still working part-time at Lange Yuntian?"
It had been some days since she last went to the club.
"Still am, the pay is good there, and the work is clean, I feel at ease working there."
As they were speaking, the door to the private room was abruptly opened.
Dressed in a new outfit and holding a cigarette in her hand, Feifei walked in and sat down opposite Xiaofeng, crossing her legs.
"Young Madam Gu, how do you like it here? You seem satisfied," Feifei spoke and blew out a ring of smoke, which scattered across her face, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
"You know, I grew up in the countryside, and I’ve never been to places . It’s my first time here, so I can’t really tell if it’s good or bad. Miss, what do you want to talk about here? Surely you can’t expect me to go into the dance hall business with you. I must be upfront, I’m not interested in such a business. If you’re looking for someone for this, you’ve got the wrong person," Xiaofeng retorted.
"Then you’re mistaken," Feifei exhaled another smoke ring, "Let’s talk about the incident in Chengbei City last time. Young Madam Gu, you are quite capable, aren’t you? On your first move, you destroyed one of our spots. Shouldn’t I put this debt on your account?"
"So that’s what this is about," Xiaofeng leaned back slightly, "So it’s your people backing those local snakes. You’re bold to bring me here; aren’t you afraid that I might call the police after I get out?"
"You’d need someone to believe you to make a call to the police. What good is calling without evidence?" Feifei scoffed coldly.
"So you’re trying to capture me now?"
"If Young Madam Gu would consider joining us, I’d be more than happy. But if not, we have ways to make Young Madam Gu stand with us," Feifei countered.
"Confident, indeed. Looks like you guys have a strong backup," Xiaofeng’s lips curled, "How do you expect me to take sides?"
"That’s easy. I’ve heard that Young Madam Gu plans to build a factory in Chengbei or something. Young Madam Gu is so young and ambitious, truly admirable. If Young Madam Gu needs staff to open a factory in Chengbei, we have people available at any time to help fill the shortage," Feifei continued, "Why Su Xiaofeng was in Chengbei last time was no secret."
"I made a trip to Chengbei, and you’ve clearly investigated my purpose thoroughly," Xiaofeng said with a light smile, "It seems you are quite concerned about the manpower you lost last time; otherwise, you wouldn’t have made this proposal. I’m just curious, with all your concern for Chengbei, should I assume that it’s an important office for you?"
"All you need to do is agree to cooperate or not. As for what we intend to do there, you don’t have the right to know. Of course, we wouldn’t engage in illegal activities again after last time’s lessons," Feifei explained.
