Chapter 343 You want to have it all? Fine!
Lee Hyun-ki, sitting at the head of the table, watched Jiang Jing, who remained calm and composed throughout, even finding the leisure to focus on enjoying the food, and couldn't help but feel a sliver of doubt.
"Is this guy really that unbothered?"
"Or does he have some other ace up his sleeve, or... has he already made up his mind to cooperate with Yixing Group?"
However, this doubt was quickly cast to the back of his mind.
In his view, Jiang Jing was now on his turf, surrounded by his own people; even if Jiang Jing had any ulterior motives, he wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.
He, Lee Hyun-ki, held absolute control of the situation.
In this subtle atmosphere where everyone harbored their own hidden agendas, the banquet finally came to an end.
The group moved to a more spacious lounge next door, equipped with professional sound systems and a stage.
Waiters cleared away the leftovers and replaced them with exquisite tea, desserts, and fruits.
Lee Hyun-ki checked the time, put on a warm smile again, and said to Jiang Jing: "Mr. Jiang, the entertainment is arriving shortly; I guarantee it will be a sight to behold."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the doors to the lounge were gently pushed open.
Immediately after, a wave of fragrance washed over them.
A group of young girls, dressed in gorgeous but revealing performance outfits, entered in a neat line.
Each of them was tall with a beautiful face, wearing exquisite stage makeup; their exposed fair legs and slender waists were particularly eye-catching under the lights.
At a rough glance, there were over a dozen of them, clearly members of several popular girl groups who had been summoned on short notice.
After entering the room, the girls immediately bowed in unison toward Lee Hyun-ki, their attitude respectful, even tinged with a hint of fear: "Chairman Li, greetings!"
Lee Hyun-ki clearly enjoyed this feeling of being feared and respected; he waved his hand with a smile.
Then he pointed to Jiang Jing and introduced him: "This is Mr. Jiang from the Dragon Kingdom, the founder of Xingchen Technology and the youngest Academician of the Academy of Sciences in the Dragon Kingdom! He is the most distinguished guest of our Yixing Group!"
"You must perform well today and let Mr. Jiang experience the charm of our South Korean girl groups!"
Hearing this, the girl group members cast curious, ingratiating, and even slightly flirtatious glances at Jiang Jing. They bowed in unison again and greeted him with sweet, syrupy voices: "Mr. Jiang, hello! Please take care of us!"
Jiang Jing's expression remained indifferent; he simply nodded slightly in response.
His gaze swept over the group of youthful and beautiful girls, and the system's notification sounds chimed sporadically in his mind; indeed, several of the girls had looks that reached the standard of 80 points or higher.
However, when his gaze fell on the [Number of Charging Partners] column displayed by the system, seeing the numbers that were generally in the dozens, with some even approaching triple digits, the slight interest that had just risen in his heart quickly cooled.
Good grief, as expected of a girl group strictly selected by the chaebol; this "business" is truly busy.
Regarding the existence of such "public transport" types, although Jiang Jing did not discriminate, he personally had absolutely no interest in "boarding the bus."
It was fine to admire them from afar, but boarding was out of the question; he found it dirty.
Lee Hyun-ki did not notice Jiang Jing's subtle psychological change; he waved his hand and ordered: "Start your performance! Bring out your best act!"
"Yes! Chairman!" the girls responded respectfully again.
Soon, dynamic and passionate music erupted, filling the entire lounge.
The girls quickly got into character and began a high-energy singing and dancing performance on the open space that served as a makeshift stage.
It must be said that the chaebol's eye and investment in selecting and cultivating playthings were beyond question.
The girls' dance moves were uniform, full of power and seduction, and their expression management was on point.
Sweet smiles and alluring gazes were constantly cast in the direction of Jiang Jing and Lee Hyun-ki.
Fair, long legs, perky buttocks swaying to the rhythm, and those carefully designed, suggestive, and teasing moves...
It was indeed a visual feast.
No wonder the number of charging partners was so high; they were likely used to "entertain" various VIPs and business partners quite often.
Jiang Jing leaned back on the comfortable sofa, holding a cup of clear tea, watching the performance before him with a calm expression, purely viewing it with an eye for art.
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Jing could see some hidden information, he probably would have been staring intently as well.
Meanwhile, the women behind him, such as Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong, had no interest in this scene.
As for the male security members like Lei Zhen, although the beautiful scenery before them was tempting, their strong professional training prevented them from being distracted in the slightest.
In the entire lounge, it seemed that only Lee Hyun-ki was truly immersed in the satisfaction of beauty and power, watching with great relish and occasionally nodding along to the rhythm.
The dynamic, passionate music gradually faded, and the girl group members ended their performance with a perfect pose.
They breathed slightly, fine beads of sweat on their foreheads, yet their faces still maintained sweet and slightly fawning smiles.
Their gazes turned in unison toward Lee Hyun-ki and Jiang Jing at the head of the table, waiting for comments and selection.
Lee Hyun-ki was clearly very satisfied with the performance; he clapped his hands, wearing a generous smile that every man understood, and said to Jiang Jing:
"Mr. Jiang, how was it? Does the standard of our South Korean girl groups meet your approval?"
He boasted not without pride, then waved his hand and said in a hearty tone: "You have come from afar, so we naturally must entertain you well!"
"Whichever of these girls you fancy, just say the word, and tonight I will have her, or them, accompany you properly. You can play however you like, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
His words were straightforward and explicit, as if these glamorous girl group members were merely items that could be gifted at will.
Hearing this, the girls felt not a shred of humiliation; instead, their eyes lit up, and they looked at Jiang Jing with anticipation.
This young, handsome, and highly esteemed Dragon Kingdom Academician was, to them, the dream high-quality client.
However, Jiang Jing's reaction caught Lee Hyun-ki by surprise.
Jiang Jing's expression remained indifferent; he gently set down his teacup and politely declined: "I appreciate Chairman Li's kindness, but I think I'll pass on this gift."
Lee Hyun-ki was stunned, a flash of astonishment and confusion crossing his face.
In his life experience and understanding, almost no man could refuse such a feast of beauty delivered to his doorstep.
He eyed Jiang Jing suspiciously and asked tentatively: "Mr. Jiang... could it be that you have a bigger appetite and want... to have it all? You want them all?"
He thought he had guessed Jiang Jing's thoughts. Although he felt it was a bit greedy, it wasn't unacceptable; after all, these girl group members were tools meant to entertain VIPs.
He immediately put on an "I understand you" expression again and smiled: "If Mr. Jiang likes a lively time, then that's no problem either; I'll arrange for all of them to be with you. After all, you are a guest of our Yixing Group, as long as you are happy, that's all that matters!"
Watching Lee Hyun-ki's demeanor, Jiang Jing couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
This Third Young Master really resembled a brothel madam enthusiastically greeting guests in ancient times.
However, he also knew clearly that this was just one of the tactics commonly used by Lee Hyun-ki, or rather, Yixing Group.
Using sugar-coated bullets like beauty and money to bridge relationships and ultimately achieve their desired goals.
In their view, this was all part of "business dealings" and "social etiquette."
Unfortunately, this routine didn't work much on Jiang Jing.
Although Jiang Jing was no saint, he was extremely picky.
The beautiful women surrounding him had long since made his tastes demanding.
He really couldn't muster any interest in these seemingly glamorous but actually "communal dishes" that had been tasted by who knows how many people.
What's more, the system's glaring [Number of Charging Partners] notification was like a food safety inspection report, making him want to avoid them as much as possible.
