What woman doesn’t find money appealing? If the performance fee is increased, how could Qiao Xiaren possibly say no?
Facing the doubts of his subordinates, Mu Nian only responded with a faint smile.
He had spent many years in M Country and was always spot-on with his judgement of people.
Despite meeting Qiao Xiaren for the first time today, he had clearly perceived that this woman was distinctly different from the rest – indifferent and spontaneous in her nature.
While others might be tempted and swayed by money, she was a complete contrast. Such a character was, indeed, intriguing.
If this woman were unwilling, nobody could force her to do anything.
Indeed, Mu Nian’s ability to read people was superior to others.
“I’ll go have a chat with Miss Qiao. You guys go and sort out Coco.” After adjusting his suit’s cufflinks, Mu Nian walked towards the podium.
At the podium, four young girls clinked their glasses, enjoying a slight indulgence of the evening.
Men kept trying to flirt. Wang Yi essentially acted as Qiao Xiaren’s guardian, keeping the swarm of admirers at bay. Qiao Xiaren sat at the edge, sipping her red wine listlessly, her demeanour increasingly serene.
Some men took the hint and stopped approaching.
“Ladies, may I have the honour of buying you a few drinks?” Holding up a glass of red wine, Mu Nian gave them a small smile.
“You again?” Yin Xiaobai held a rather negative impression of Mu Nian and purposely provoked him.
Unperturbed, Mu Nian replied, “It seems Miss Yin isn’t very fond of me – all the more reason for me to work on leaving a better impression. Can we be friends?”
Qiao Xiaren glanced at him and motioned with her drink, “Quit the pleasantries and get to the point.”
“Indeed, Miss Qiao is straightforward. In that case, I’ll cut to the chase. I’ve heard that you’re quite popular in S Country; would you consider doing me the honour of saving my show by performing on stage tonight?” Mu Nian continued to smile, “What do you desire, Miss Qiao? As long as it is within my capabilities, your wish is my command.”
After hearing Mu Nian’s proposal, Qiao Xiaren looked at him with a faint, knowing smile.
“Okay.” Qiao Xiaren nodded, “Have your invited performers go on stage first. We’ll follow. Naturally, the performance fee can’t be low.”
“We?” Zhong Qing was slightly surprised.
Qiao Xiaren tapped her chin with a playful smile, “Yes, we. Do you remember the rehearsal for the welcoming event we had?”
Zhong Qing nodded, blushing lightly.
What the hell was she touching her chin for? Didn’t she know it would make her blush?
“Great idea!” Wang Yi agreed heartily. She thought that performing on stage with Qiao Xiaren would be far more exciting than just drinking at the table.
Qiao Xiaren’s quick agreement was a welcome surprise for Mu Nian: “Excellent, please have a drink on me while you wait.”
The dance floor was filled with people moving freely to the exhilarating DJ music. The crowd quieted down in anticipation of the upcoming performance.
Two beams of white light scanned over the stage.
Coco had already begun her performance. Donned in a skin-tight, draped mini-dress, her fiery figure drew countless stares from the audience.
Upon making her entrance, she beckoned to the audience with a charming smile.
Slightly parting her red lips, she wore a tantalizingly sultry expression.
The crowd erupted into an array of catcalls and cheers, primarily from the men.
Most women cast disdainful glances–not because they thought Coco was promiscuous, but out of jealousy for the attention she was drawing from the men.
