44: tertiary industry

Dai Mao helplessly stuck out his tongue.

Wu Fan followed Liu Tingting onto the stage. The two of them surprisingly sang with a strong sense of chemistry (CP feeling).

When they finished, applause and whistles rose and fell in succession, mostly from people cheering them on.

Liu Tingting, however, acted very proactively, completely different from her previous self. She held Wu Fan's hand and bowed together to express their thanks.

Could it be that the kissing session in the haunted house had allowed her to open up her heart?

By the time the bar closed, it was already past two in the morning.

When Wu Fan dropped Liu Tingting off at the entrance of the Haidao Grand Hotel, he had no intention of getting out of the car.

He wondered if Xiao Ai was still waiting for him back home.

After Liu Tingting got out, she opened Wu Fan's car door, pulled him slightly, and said, "Come up and sit with me for a while. After going to the haunted house, my mind is full of scary scenes, and I'm afraid to be alone."

It was the first time Wu Fan had seen Liu Tingting display such a feminine side.

With such a direct invitation, how could Wu Fan not understand? It was even less possible for him to refuse.

Moreover, Wu Fan had always wanted to 'conquer' her; perhaps tonight was the night.

As they walked into the elevator together, Liu Tingting actually took the initiative to link arms with Wu Fan, resting her head lightly on his bicep.

Wu Fan lowered his head and looked at her delicate face, a warm feeling rising within his heart...

By the time Wu Fan's phone rang, it was already past eleven in the morning.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was Chen Lu calling.

"Wu Fan, the company is holding its annual meeting tomorrow evening. CEO Gu said that as the new boss of our company's motorcade, shouldn't you make a statement?"

Wu Fan lowered his gaze, looked at Liu Tingting in his arms, and asked, "How should I make a statement? Should I perform a show?"

Liu Tingting reached out, licking the corner of her lips with a look of pleasant surprise.

Chen Lu said, "You certainly can. Performing a show is the bare minimum. CEO Gu's intention is that you should prepare red envelopes for the four drivers."

Wu Fan complained, "I haven't earned a single cent, but I'm spending a ton of money."

Chen Lu chuckled slightly and said, "No choice. You are the motorcade boss now, so you need to act like one."

Wu Fan said without reservation, "What kind of damn boss am I? I'm just making big money for CEO Gu."

Chen Lu was silent for a moment before saying, "Saying that now is useless. You've already signed the contract. The only thing to do is figure out how to manage and profit next year..."

Wu Fan chuckled. Actually, having the cash-back system in hand meant he didn't care much, but he was slightly displeased with CEO Gu's sense of entitlement.

"Alright, I understand. I definitely won't let CEO Gu down. Chen Lu, what time is it tomorrow night? And where?"

"Haidao Grand Hotel, 2nd-floor wedding banquet hall. It starts at 1:30 PM and we'll have dinner promptly at 5:30 PM. That's about it."

"Fine, no problem."

Wu Fan quickly hung up the phone.

After he had answered the phone, they had fooled around for another hour.

Liu Tingting was playful, inexhaustible, and seemingly unsatisfied.

In the end, it was only after Wu Fan urged her that she got out of bed.

Xiao Ai called to ask Wu Fan if he was coming home for lunch.

She said that Yaoyao woke up this morning and didn't see him, making her a bit unhappy, and hoped Wu Fan would go with her to pick up Yaoyao after school.

Wu Fan suddenly thought of Zhou Ruyan, so he made an excuse to Liu Tingting that he had something to do in the afternoon and slipped out of the Haidao Grand Hotel.

He drove straight to the Musen Clothing Store.

[Ding, host reminder: Would you like to sign in for a random gift?]

Wu Fan silently thought, "Sign in."

[Ding, Sign-in successful. You have received one Advanced guitar Skill Book, which has been stored in the system warehouse and can be retrieved at any time.]

Wu Fan was overjoyed. His guitar skill was finally maxed out. When could he properly show off at the bar?

He raised his hand and immediately pressed 'Use'. Various musical scores instantly flooded his mind, and all the high-difficulty finger techniques became clear to him.

When he walked in, Zhou Ruyan was drinking coffee alone.

She looked surprised to see Wu Fan. "Why are you here?"

Wu Fan glanced around, saw no one else in the shop, and smiled, "Because I missed you, so I came to see you."

Zhou Ruyan's pretty face flushed red. She walked with a model's stride and poured Wu Fan a cup of coffee.

Her store had a coffee machine, making it convenient to serve old customers or friends who dropped by.

Wu Fan looked at her stunning figure and swallowed.

Zhou Ruyan asked, "Wu Fan, how come you have so much free time? I've always wanted to ask, what exactly do you do for a living?"

Wu Fan took a sip of coffee. "A bus driver. I contracted a few buses this year."

He paused, then added lightly, "I can't even spend all my money. Running this motorcade is purely for fun."

Zhou Ruyan's eyes lit up. "It seems your family background is quite substantial?"

Wu Fan was expressionless: "Let me put it this way: as long as it pleases me, I can afford to give a few thousand in spending money every day."

Zhou Ruyan pretended to respond calmly, but inside, she was churning: "Judging by Wu Fan's tone, if he doesn't have hundreds of millions, he must at least have tens of millions, right? If I can manage to please him, won't I have to worry about spending money anymore?"

Zhou Ruyan's family background wasn't bad, but she had an obsession with a high-quality lifestyle.

The cosmetics she used, the clothes she wore both inside and out, and her bags all had to be high-end brands; she wouldn't deign to use anything inferior.

This led to huge expenses, and she was always thinking about starting a side hustle (third industry).

If she could secure Wu Fan and get him to give her spending money every day, wouldn't that be the best side hustle of all?
