25: Chapter 25 Operation

Then he quickly returned to the women's restroom, took the black bag from the sink, slipped into stall number 6, and locked the door.

If one looked closely, an acquaintance might recognize him through his eyes—this "cleaner" was actually Chen Shaoping in disguise.

He wore a wig, a hat, and a mask, and his clothes were a cleaner's uniform, which was also old.

As long as he didn't speak, the only one flaw was that high, protruding Adam's apple.

Chen Shaoping took a contract out of the bag, and after just a few glances, he couldn't help but marvel at how high Bingbing's salary really was.

For a supporting role in a movie, the salary was actually as high as a "small goal."

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

In his memory, this Bingbing's acting was just average.

Aside from having a slightly better figure!

A slightly prettier face!

Slightly more seductive eyes!

Calling her "godfather" a bit more sweetly!

There wasn't much else to her, was there?

And she can get a hundred million like this?

While he kept complaining in his mind, his hands weren't slow at all.

One by one, the contracts were photographed and then placed back into the black bag.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

A bell rang; had it already been nine minutes?

Chen Shaoping did not hesitate, immediately putting the contracts away and placing them back in the bag.

He came out of stall 6 and put the bag back in its original place.

Before he could walk out of the restroom, the door to stall 3 also opened.

A woman walked out with a satisfied look on her face; it seemed she had found relief.

Chen Shaoping didn't look back, picked up the sign from the floor, and prepared to leave.

"Auntie, are you done cleaning? I can't hold it in much longer."

A girl waiting outside asked.

Chen Shaoping subconsciously replied, "Mhm."

The moment he said it, he regretted it. Without further delay, he quickened his pace to leave.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and by the time she reacted, he was already gone.

She suddenly became alert, even forgetting about using the restroom.

She blocked the entrance, preventing people from entering, and kept saying that a male pervert had just come out.

She suspected he had placed a camera inside the restroom.

She even took out her phone and started a live stream.

"Family, now we're going to start checking from stall number 1 to see if there really is a camera."

When the assistant, Xiao He, saw the girl's actions, she also became incredibly panicked.

However, she didn't have time to waste here and had to leave first.

The girl's behavior alerted the mall management, and several security guards got involved to help her look for the camera.

Half an hour passed, and nothing was found.

The girl was constantly being called crazy by the people in the live stream.

The security guards also left.

Other women also went into the restroom to use the stalls.

However, Chen Shaoping, who had caused all this, was already on his way to Dream Fate Bar.

He hadn't finished photographing all the contracts in the black bag because there wasn't enough time.

He only photographed most of them, but it was enough.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

The phone rang.

Chen Shaoping answered the phone, and Wang Bo's aggrieved voice came from the other end.

"Da Ping, where are you? Come back quickly. Many people have suddenly appeared online insulting me, saying I'm not worthy of singing this song."

"They're criticizing my voice and my technique."

"And many more things; anyway, it's very nasty."

Chen Shaoping frowned. Was someone trying to suppress the work of two newcomers?

"Second Bo, I don't have time; I'm busy."

"It's likely someone hired internet trolls to smear you. Either insult them back or just ignore it."

After hanging up, Chen Shaoping had already arrived at the entrance of Dream Fate Bar.

After parking the car, the time was only 21:09; it was still early.

Chen Shaoping didn't enter the bar but instead walked across the street.

There was a Shaxian Snacks across the street. The food was quite good, and he had eaten there many times.

Walking into the shop, he saw three delinquent girls wearing miniskirts and camisoles eating.

The three of them had three different hair colors: purple, blue, and gray.

They were eating fried noodles and swearing non-stop.

Centered around parents and focused on certain human organs.

Chen Shaoping couldn't hear a single complete sentence; it was all bleeps.

"Boss, a chicken leg rice, and add two extra chicken legs."

Chen Shaoping found a seat near the door, sat down, and took out a cigarette to smoke.

The delinquent girls looked at Chen Shaoping with surprise and disbelief.

You can add two extra chicken legs to chicken leg rice?

The purple-haired delinquent girl said, "Uncle, give us a cigarette to smoke."

Hearing this, Chen Shaoping said nothing.

He took out the remaining half-pack and tossed it over.

"Thanks, Uncle!" The three delinquent girls were actually quite polite.

When the chicken leg rice arrived, Chen Shaoping was truly hungry.

He ate with great relish.

As he was gnawing on a chicken leg, a familiar figure walked in.

"Da Ping, what are you doing here?"

Tian Jun was stunned. Looking at the back from outside, it looked like him, and coming in to see, it really was.

"You can't still be unable to forget her, can you?"

Tian Jun glared at Chen Shaoping with a hint of confusion, looking a bit like he was frustrated that Chen Shaoping wasn't living up to expectations.

When the three delinquent girls nearby saw a policeman enter, they immediately got up and left.

They were afraid the policeman would look at them more than necessary.

"Four Jun, are you patrolling here?" Chen Shaoping didn't answer but asked instead.

"Don't worry about me; you answer me first."

"I'm here for something, not to see her."

"Really not looking for her?"

"Really not."

"Then go ahead and eat. I'm going back to patrolling."

"Wait a moment, Four Jun. Since you're here, sit with me for a while. I happen to have something to talk to you about."

Chen Shaoping threw away the gnawed chicken bone and wiped his mouth and hands with a tissue.

Tian Jun stopped and turned his head.

"I'm on duty right now. If you want to grab a drink, let's make an appointment when I'm about to get off work."

"Drink what? This is serious business. Sit down first and let me tell you about it slowly."

Tian Jun sat down somewhat reluctantly across from Chen Shaoping and even took off his hat.

"Speak quickly, I'm really busy."

Chen Shaoping began to recount the events in great detail.

Thirty minutes later, Tian Jun left with a solemn expression, not forgetting to tell Chen Shaoping to be careful.

If his colleagues hadn't already urged him several times, he would have wanted to chat more.

After eating, Chen Shaoping didn't leave immediately but started scrolling through videos at the Shaxian Snacks shop.

At 22:56, he walked into Dream Fate Bar.

At this hour, there were already many people dressed in all sorts of styles; the music was intense and incredibly noisy.

Chen Shaoping stood at the entrance and scanned for a while before he spotted Zhou Bule sitting in a corner.

He was thin and small, and not handsome; he was the kind of person who wouldn't even make a ripple if thrown into a crowd.

However, he had a great voice.

A heavenly voice!

This was what Chen Shaoping needed.

Chen Shaoping walked over to the seat and said loudly, "Zhou Bule, can I sit here?"

The surrounding noise was simply too loud.

Zhou Bule didn't hear clearly. He looked left and right, and after confirming that Chen Shaoping was talking to him, he replied.

"Please, sit. How do you know my name?"

Chen Shaoping didn't want to waste words either; he didn't like this kind of bar environment—it was too noisy.

"I am Chen Shaoping, the person in charge of Tongxing Entertainment Company. I'd like to invite you to join us."

He even handed over a business card, which Li Qian had arranged to be printed for him.

Zhou Bule picked up the business card and looked at it with a hint of suspicion.

Could someone around his own age really be the boss of an entertainment company?

Just then, a woman dressed scantily and flamboyantly walked over.

"Chen Shaoping, I knew you couldn't forget me. You were just pretending with me a few days ago."
