13: Chapter 13, "Reunion with the White Moonlight," now requires payment.

Just as he stepped outside, the cold wind hitting his face smoothed out some of the agitation in Zhao Xiaoshuai's heart, yet he still couldn't help but look back at the lights in that familiar location.

In the past, leaving this place always meant a fierce battle with Chu Ziqing, but now he could only pull out his phone and search: [First time going for a foot massage, how to pretend you're very experienced.]

Red Romance Foot Bath.

Entering the main entrance, he followed the advice in the guide, avoiding looking around, and went straight into the lobby.

The receptionist came over, "Handsome, foot massage or full-body massage, how many of you?"

"Foot massage, just one."

He didn't stop, asking if there were rooms available as he walked, and was led into a room, where he sat directly on a massage chair.

"It's my first time here, recommend me an excellent attendant, let me see if there's a connection."

The receptionist called over a few batches, but Zhao Xiaoshuai just waved his hand.

According to the online guide, this was to tell the shop that his standards were high. Sure enough, the quality of the next few that were called over was much higher, but he was still unsatisfied.

'The later part just said "those who know, know", but I don't know a damn thing.'

Zhao Xiaoshuai feigned composure as he asked, "Do you have, you know, that thing, um, the one that those who know, know?"

The receptionist struggled to suppress a smile; she had seen too many customers like this who walked in and tried to act like veterans with a straight face.

"We do, please wait a moment, I will go and call someone for you personally."

She had to leave quickly, otherwise, she was afraid she would burst out laughing; some thin-skinned customers would just run away.

Backstage at Red Romance.

"Yuyan, listen to Sister Hong, with your conditions, as long as you are willing to do the big jobs, your income will definitely double several times over."

The woman named Yuyan still looked hesitant, unable to make up her mind.

"You've lived like this for so many years, it breaks my heart to see it."

"You've suffered enough. Sister knows you're a good girl, but are you going to live like a widow for that man who ran away? It's not worth it."

"Besides, aren't you very short on money? What other way do you have if you don't do this?"

Xu Yuyan let out a sigh, as if she had resigned herself to fate: "Sister Hong, I was just still holding onto some delusions. After all these years, my heart has long since died. Help me get on the list too."

"Good girl, you finally came to your senses! Let me tell you, men, none of them are any good! Just focus on earning enough money now, and later you can move to another city and find an honest man to live your life."

While Sister Hong was chattering away, the receptionist walked over.

"Sister Hong, one newbie, but his standards are quite high."

"Isn't that a coincidence? Yuyan, newbies are easy to deal with, and they pay readily. Go quickly."

Jiang Qin was a small boss from Dongguan, whose idol in life was Jiang Biehe from "The Proud Twins".

To compete for a business deal, he used some methods to get information on the client behind the scenes, bypassed the middleman, and traveled thousands of miles to Chuncheng to pay a visit, and sure enough, he won it in one fell swoop.

Recently, everything had been going against him, and he had been stifled several times—not only in reality but even when playing a pay-to-win game, he couldn't get any peace.

Therefore, having accomplished a major task, he decided to go and relax.

When Jiang Qin arrived at Red Romance, he had just picked a satisfactory technician and was about to pay, when he happened to run into Xu Yuyan in the hallway.

Xu Yuyan had the beauty of a fallen respectable woman, which immediately attracted Jiang Qin.

"Hey, you guys aren't being honest. Just now you told me that Xiao Yu was already the top attendant in your shop, and now there's someone even prettier!"

Jiang Qin's eyes lit up, and he stopped Xu Yuyan.

Zhao Xiaoshuai was looking around nervously, waiting for someone to come, but hearing some noise at the door, he curiously walked over.

"Huh, why does that person look a bit familiar?"

He wasn't quite sure; the technician was not only older, but her appearance also had some differences from what he remembered, as if she were a lower-spec version.

That person was named Xu Yuyan, his high school classmate and the school beauty of their high school, the "white moonlight" of countless people, including him.

However, he was still very green back then. He had a crush on her for several years, and only dared to summon the courage to confess near graduation, only to learn that she was already taken.

This pain lasted for three whole years before he moved on.

After learning from the pain, he took the lesson to heart. When he met Chu Ziqing and rekindled the fire of love, he didn't hesitate to launch an offensive, and sure enough, he won the beauty over.

And the current Xu Yuyan, relying on exquisite makeup and a unique temperament, barely touched the edge of an eight-point rating, with a level of attractiveness about the same as Guan Xiaosu.

However, her style was completely different from Guan Xiaosu's; she had a feeling of being both a "good family girl" and seductive, which could warm one's body just by looking at her in winter.

Her attire at this moment was also a bit more revealing, and her chest was quite a bit larger than Guan Xiaosu's.

At least a C cup.

He tentatively called out, "Xu Yuyan?"

Xu Yuyan turned her head in surprise, only to find that she didn't recognize the man calling her name, "Please wait a moment, there is a small problem here."

[Ding! Illustrated Book Unlocked: Xu Yuyan (Character Rating 6.78)]

'It really lives up to that saying, you have to make a move on the person you like early, otherwise, the next time you meet, you might have to pay...'

Zhao Xiaoshuai confirmed he hadn't mistaken the person, so he walked over to see what was going on.

"This customer, you have already selected a technician; this is against the rules."

Jiang Qin gave a disdainful laugh:

"Against the rules? Who are you trying to fool? I'll give an extra thousand in tips right now, just tell me if that's still against the rules, and if I can switch?"

"I don't believe it, there's nothing money can't solve!"

Having roughly understood the cause and effect, Zhao Xiaoshuai looked at the man and said calmly, "It seems this buddy is quite wealthy. Then I'll add another thousand in tips too. Is this technician still mine?"

Jiang Qin had been stifled quite a bit recently and was holding back anger; at this moment, with the fire still unvented, he was ready to explode at the slightest provocation.

It also just so happened that he had recently closed a big deal and was feeling quite inflated.

And the technician who had just come out was of very high quality; looking at her up close, it was basically not artificial.

He estimated that she must have been a school beauty or something in her younger years. You could only play with this kind in high-end clubs, costing several thousand each time; the price he was paying wasn't expensive.

Most importantly, truly wealthy big spenders all went to high-end clubs; how many would come to this small shop for a foot massage?

Of course, he considered himself quite unconventional; he just liked this vibe.

In his heart, he always carried a sense of superiority, like a high-level player going to a low-level area to "smurf".

Therefore, when he spoke, he was very impolite: "Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. You want to compete in financial power with me, your Uncle Jiang? Do you have that kind of strength?"

"You offer a thousand, I'll offer two thousand. No matter how much you offer, I'll always outbid you by a thousand!"

Looking at this red-faced, neck-thick brother with a gold chain, Zhao Xiaoshuai naturally wouldn't back down, "Then I'll just increase it to ten thousand."

Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment, 'Is this guy sick? Everyone is playing a game of one thousand by one thousand, why did you go straight to ten thousand?'

He even suspected he was being set up, but he was a bit hot-headed now, and there was an anger in his heart that he had to vent.

So he still stiffened his neck and said: "I'll match you, ten thousand and one hundred, whoever backs down is a grandson!"

Zhao Xiaoshuai said calmly and leisurely: "Then I'll add another fifty thousand to your bid."
