Lin Yichu
Because he had his own unique goal, Chen Dong didn't go to the second floor, which was a high-consumption area with a minimum spend of 28,888. Lin Yichu shouldn't be in that area.
Chen Dong and A-Wei each ordered a cocktail and strolled around the first-floor lobby, drinks in hand.
"A-Wei, if you see a target you're interested in, just go for it. Call me if anything happens."
"Alright, I'll go sit over there." Hu Wei, as Chen Dong had instructed earlier, found a corner to sit in, placed his Rolls-Royce car keys on the table, and gently tapped the table with his Rolex-wearing hand, watching the head-bobbing men and women in the bar.
Chen Dong slowly searched for his target. The place was packed with people, finding one person was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Chen Dong wasn't in a hurry. If he couldn't find her today, he would contact the bar's boss tomorrow and pay him to help keep an eye out. As long as the money was in place, finding someone for such a small matter should still be quite easy.
After searching for half an hour, just as Chen Dong was about to give up, he finally saw that familiar figure.
In a dimly lit corner, a beautiful woman sat quietly, savoring her wine and embracing her solitude.
She wore a light yellow top with a white skirt, her dark hair cascaded like a waterfall, appearing beautiful and aloof in the dim light.
Occasionally, men would approach her, trying to win her favor, hoping to get close and spend a wonderful night.
But without exception, they all failed.
Chen Dong composed himself, shaking the wine glass in his hand, and walked over to Lin Yichu, sitting opposite her.
"You're not welcome here. Leave quickly and don't make a fool of yourself."
Lin Yichu didn't even lift her head, showing a disgusted expression, her tone very cold.
She's a little firecracker, huh? But it doesn't matter, Chen Dong isn't trying to fall in love with her; he just needs her to help him with work.
"Something on your mind?" Chen Dong was unfazed, speaking to himself,
"That's right, people who come to bars are usually one of two types: those who are too empty and want to have fun, or those who have something on their mind and come to dispel their gloom. It seems this beauty belongs to the second type."
Lin Yichu looked up at Chen Dong. It was a handsome face, and Lin Yichu was even slightly amazed, especially by Chen Dong's bright and confident yet calm smile, which felt like a gentle spring breeze, making people feel inexplicably at ease and involuntarily wanting to get closer to him.
"Which type are you? Here to have fun? Perhaps you've chosen the wrong person?"
Lin Yichu, uncharacteristically, engaged in a normal conversation with Chen Dong. Chen Dong smiled; as long as she could speak normally and wasn't giving off a 'do not approach' vibe, it meant there was a chance.
"Which type I am isn't important, what's important is you, beautiful." Chen Dong pointed at Lin Yichu,
"Let me make a bold guess. A beautiful girl like you must have countless admirers. If it were just emptiness and loneliness, you wouldn't need to come to a bar, and even if you did, you wouldn't reject those who come smelling the scent and trying to strike up a conversation.
So, you definitely have something on your mind."
Lin Yichu smiled brightly. No beautiful woman dislikes being praised for her beauty, especially by such a handsome member of the opposite sex.
"Then allow me to boldly analyze further. Discontent in people's hearts generally falls into two categories: career and relationships.
A young and beautiful woman like you shouldn't have reached a career bottleneck yet, so it should be a relationship problem.
People's relationships generally fall into kinship, friendship, and love."
Chen Dong took a sip of the drink in his glass, looking at Lin Yichu's big, captivating eyes, which had an expression of 'you continue'.
"Keep talking, I'm listening." Lin Yichu frowned slightly when Chen Dong didn't speak for a while.
"Then I'll make another guess: First, let's rule out love. A beautiful and independent girl like you shouldn't be troubled by love, so it must be kinship or friendship.
Let's talk about kinship first, which is the relationship with parents.
Two extremes: impoverished family background, where unfortunateOriginal family (original family) leads to strained relationships, but judging by your attire and demeanor, that shouldn't be the case; the other extreme is parents who are particularly wealthy, busy with their careers, and too preoccupied to care for their children, leading to strained relationships, especially when they demand their children accept their arrangements, but I don't think you belong to this category either."
"How can you tell?" Lin Yichu was completely intrigued by Chen Dong, finding the man in front of her particularly interesting to talk to. It felt like a little monkey was constantly scratching in her heart, desperately wanting to know how Chen Dong had analyzed it.
"Because with such strained kinship, children are often very rebellious, but you are gentle and dignified; although a bit aloof, everything is within the normal range.
Therefore, you should be troubled by friendship."
A peculiar light bloomed in Lin Yichu's eyes, like little stars in the night sky blinking a few times, and she smiled brightly, like a snow lotus blooming on the peak of an ice mountain.
"Let's get acquainted, my name is Lin Yichu." Lin Yichu extended her right hand, and Chen Dong naturally wouldn't be coy.
"Chen Dong."
Her small hand was slightly cool but very soft. At this point, Chen Dong knew he had succeeded for the most part; the rest was up to fate.
"I wonder what difficulties Miss Lin's friend has encountered. Perhaps I can help, you never know."
"You can't help." Lin Yichu shook her head.
"That's hard to say. Actually, I'm a billionaire. I always believe that most difficulties in this world can be solved with money; if they can't be solved, it's highly likely that not enough money was given."
"Pfft." Lin Yichu smiled charmingly, "Then I'm the world's richest woman."
What's with this? Why don't they believe him when he tells the truth? Chen Dong spread his hands,
"I'm not lying to you. Do you want to see my bank card messages?"
"Never mind, I won't look at such private matters."
Lin Yichu gently tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing her crystal-clear earlobes, adorned with pearl earrings that made her ears appear even more lustrous and full.
"How about you invite me to experience the booth upstairs? I heard the minimum spend there is over 20,000, and I've never been up to see it."
"No problem, it's my first time here too. Let's order a Grand Dragon and enjoy ourselves."
Chen Dong stood up and made a gesture to invite her, and Lin Yichu gracefully walked towards the staircase to the second floor.
At the entrance to the second floor, Xinfeyang Bar staff were on duty, not allowing people to go upstairs freely.
As Chen Dong and Lin Yichu approached, a waiter, with a smile on his face, enthusiastically asked:
"Do the two of you need a booth on the second floor?"
"Yes, let's go up and sit."
"Sir, the second-floor booths are divided into three tiers. The lowest tier has a minimum spend of 20,000 yuan. Sir, would you still like to go up?"
It was a routine inquiry, part of his job, and his attitude was quite good.
"Hmm, then let's go to the best tier booth."
"Sir, the booths in Zone 1 have a minimum spend of 50,000 yuan." The waiter whispered a reminder, swallowing his saliva.
Although Xinfeyang Bar's business had always been good, customers didn't come to the Zone 1 booths every day.
"It's fine, just lead the way."
