4: Rich Women Club

Lin Chao's entire body froze.

His mind buzzed, going completely blank.

He hadn't expected that Xie Mengya would actually say something like that right to his face!

Those soul-stealing peach blossom eyes were staring at him without blinking, and with every flicker of her gaze, a seductive charm overflowed.

Seeing his dazed look, Xie Mengya couldn't help but burst into a giggle.

Her rosy lips curled up slightly, like a blooming rose.

"What's wrong? Is little brother scared by big sister?"

Her voice carried a hint of lazy amusement.

"Is your courage really that small?"

"I wonder... if other places are also that small?"

Lin Chao's face instantly flushed bright red!

But it wasn't from shyness; it was from anger!

No man could tolerate such a comment!

He stiffened his neck, met Xie Mengya's playful gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Not only is my courage great, other places are... even greater!"

"Oh?" Xie Mengya's eyebrows arched even higher, the amusement in her eyes deepening. "Is that so?"

"Then big sister will have to take a good look later."

She leaned forward slightly, the warm lights of the café outlining her breathtaking curves.

"As long as you help me, when the time comes..."

She lowered her voice to a whisper, lightly brushing against Lin Chao's eardrums like a feather.

"I will be yours."

"I will also pay you a large sum of money, an amount you might not be able to earn in your entire life."

Money... those words were like a needle, stabbing deep into Lin Chao's heart!

In an instant, Wu Ruolan's mean face flashed through his mind, followed by the image of Young Master Yang throwing those porsche keys onto the bed!

Trash!

Poor ghost!

Those words were like demonic voices echoing in his ears, roaring in his head!

Lin Chao's fist clenched tightly under the table!

His knuckles turned white from the force!

He looked up, his eyes turning bloodshot from a mix of humiliation and desire!

"I'll help!" His voice was raspy but incredibly firm. "I'll help you!"

Xie Mengya was amused by his fierce expression.

"Giggle..."

Her crisp laughter sounded like silver bells.

"It seems that compared to big sister's body, you still love money more?"

As a salesperson skilled in the gift of gab, how could Lin Chao admit he was just doing it for the money?

"Big sister's body has already made my heart race," he said, looking at Xie Mengya with a straight face. "The money you mentioned was just the final straw that broke the camel's back."

Xie Mengya burst into laughter again. "As expected of someone in sales, your tongue is certainly sharp."

Lin Chao had calmed down by now. "What specifically do you need me to do?"

Xie Mengya picked up her coffee and took a light sip. The seductive charm on her face vanished, replaced by the shrewdness and coldness of a businesswoman.

"That waste Zheng Guangzhi tried to set me up with underhanded methods, but he failed."

"So he only has one path left to take."

"Produce actual results and use brute force to seize the support of the other shareholders in the company."

Lin Chao listened quietly.

"He's recently been in contact with the CEO of Lantu Group, hoping to reach a strategic partnership."

"Once this cooperation is finalized, Hongzhi Group's stock price will at least double. When that happens, those money-hungry old fogies will definitely stand by his side without hesitation."

Xie Mengya set down her coffee cup and looked at Lin Chao.

"So, what I want you to do is very simple."

"Screwing up this partnership!"

"Make sure Zheng Guangzhi's wishful thinking completely falls through!"

After hearing this, Lin Chao was completely stunned.

Lantu Group?

He was supposed to sabotage the cooperation between Hongzhi Group and Lantu Group?

What kind of international joke was this!

He waved his hands repeatedly. "Chairman Xie, I can't do it! I'm just someone who sells massagers. How could I have that kind of ability?"

"I wouldn't even be able to find the door for a partnership at that corporate level!"

"You... you should find someone else. I can't handle this."

Xie Mengya smiled, a smile full of charm and a hint of confidence.

"Don't be so quick to refuse."

"It won't be too late to decide once you've met the CEO of Lantu Group."

She looked at Lin Chao's face, which was written all over with resistance and shock. Her red lips parted slightly as she uttered a number that made it hard for him to breathe.

"As long as you get this done..."

She held up one fair, slender finger.

"One million."

Hiss—!

Lin Chao sucked in a breath of cold air!

One million?!

He had never seen so much money in his life!

This amount of money could be the down payment for a small apartment in this city!

It would allow him to stomp that foul, gold-digging woman Wu Ruolan ruthlessly under his feet!

He looked at Xie Mengya's determined eyes, his heart pounding wildly!

Great wealth is sought amidst danger!

He'd do it!

He gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely.

"Fine!"

"I'll go!"

Xie Mengya saw the fire burning in Lin Chao's eyes, and a meaningful smile curled at the corners of her mouth.

She let out a faint sigh, her gaze carrying a hint of resentment.

"Sigh, in the end."

"You still love money more than big sister."

Lin Chao's heart hadn't settled yet, and hearing this, he subconsciously countered, "No."

He met Xie Mengya's gaze with unprecedented seriousness. "Big sister's charm is already enough to make me risk everything."

"That million is just a reason to help me make my final decision."

This was a major benefactor; he had to keep her happy!

After hearing this, Xie Mengya's beautiful eyebrows arched slightly.

She let out a soft snort from her nose.

"Hmph."

"A man who says one thing but means another."

Despite her words, the amusement in her eyes grew stronger.

She stopped teasing him and instead asked, "Can you drive?"

Lin Chao was taken aback and nodded instinctively. "Yes."

*Clack.*

A soft sound.

A car key was casually tossed onto the table by her.

On that key was a silver trident logo.

A maserati!

Lin Chao's pupils constricted suddenly!

"You'll drive my car," Xie Mengya said, standing up. Her graceful figure traced a perfect curve under the lights.

"Follow me to a certain place."

Holding the cold yet heavy car key, Lin Chao felt like he was dreaming.

"Okay..." He felt like his voice was trembling.

It wasn't because of fear, nor was it excitement.

It was the result of his effort to suppress his own ambition.

He swore that one day, he would definitely own a maserati of his own!

He drove the blue Maserati Quattroporte through the city's sea of neon lights.

The roar of the engine was like the low growl of a beast, striking his heart with every beat.

Following the address Xie Mengya gave him, Lin Chao finally parked the car in front of a clubhouse that looked very low-key.

There was no exaggerated sign at the entrance, only two artistic characters in gold leaf.

"Phantom Dream."

A doorman in a black suit stood at the entrance and said politely, "Madam, please show your membership card."

Xie Mengya casually took a pure black card from her handbag and flashed it before his eyes.

The doorman immediately bowed ninety degrees. "Honored guest, please come inside."

Only then did Xie Mengya turn back to explain to the bewildered Lin Chao, "This place is membership-only."

"Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in."

Lin Chao followed her inside and was instantly shocked by the sight before him.

Beneath his feet was a Persian carpet so soft he could sink into it. Above him was a dazzling crystal chandelier, and the air was filled with a faint, indescribable scent of high-end incense.

He felt like a country bumpkin entering a grand manor; his eyes weren't enough to take it all in.

Every detail here screamed two words.

Money burning!

Xie Mengya led him through a long corridor, finally stopping before a heavy solid wood door.

Standing at the door was a handsome young waiter in a white uniform, referred to by the people here as a 'Young Master'.

The 'Young Master' respectfully pulled open the door for them.

The moment the door was pushed open, Xie Mengya suddenly turned her head and gave Lin Chao a sweet smile.

That smile carried a hint of cunning.

"Oh, by the way, little brother, I forgot to tell you."

"Phantom Dream has another name..."

"The Rich Women's Club."
