Chapter 138: Return to the Red Rose

"President Zheng, just a small token of my appreciation, please don't think it's too little."

"If it's not enough to drink, I'll open more for you!"

Tian Kaixuan raised his glass and toasted Zheng Qian.

"Boss Tian, that's enough, that's enough. With this much alcohol, how could we ever finish it?"

Jin Lu hadn't expected Tian Kaixuan to pull a stunt like this.

As soon as she and Zheng Qian sat down in the booth, he had popped 99 bottles of ace of spades.

He had certainly given them plenty of face.

Even at cost price, this much alcohol would make Tian Kaixuan's heart ache.

In order to befriend Zheng Qian, he had gone all out tonight.

Rich people just ate this kind of thing up; they valued pageantry wherever they went.

As long as he gave Zheng Qian enough face tonight, everything else would be negotiable.

Next to the VIP booth.

Quite a few socialites wanted to seize the opportunity to go up and strike up a conversation.

Someone who could make Tian Kaixuan open 99 bottles of ace of spades for him was definitely no ordinary person!

Some socialites had made it halfway there before being stopped by sturdy bodyguards, who wouldn't let them get close at all!

By trying every possible way to detour and waiting for the bodyguards to be distracted, a few socialites finally managed to sneak up next to the VIP booth.

But when they saw the woman sitting next to Zheng Qian, they were all stunned.

Jin Lu!

That queen with an aura in full bloom!

These girls had all been colleagues with Jin Lu and knew that the reason she resigned was because she had hooked a rich boyfriend.

Why would she be here?

Did she switch to an even wealthier partner?

The group looked at the man beside Jin Lu.

It's him!

The tall, rich, and handsome guy who opened several Divine Dragon sets that night!

Isn't that Jin Lu's rich boyfriend?

Someone who could make Tian Kaixuan open 99 bottles of ace of spades for him, and even personally keep him company while drinking—how is that just a rich boyfriend!

That's a dragon spitting pearls!!

No wonder Jin Lu wasn't working at Red Rose anymore; she had latched onto a man like this!

Their eyes were filled with envy!

Good looking and wealthy.

When would it finally be their turn to latch onto such a top-tier man!

"Come, come, come, you few, come here!"

Tian Kaixuan saw the few girls nearby; they were his former employees, and their quality was decent.

Immediately after, Tian Kaixuan used his walkie-talkie to call over the top-tier women his subordinates had prepared to drink with Zheng Qian.

Jin Lu said nothing about this, merely giving the dozen or so socialites a cold glance before silently continuing to drink with Zheng Qian.

Just a single look was enough to completely intimidate the socialites.

Aura in full bloom!

A single glance was enough to strike fear into their hearts!

For the next two hours, the dozen or so socialites all obediently drank with Zheng Qian, not daring to make any inappropriate moves.

They knew that offending Jin Lu would not end well.

Zheng Qian might not even be interested in them.

It was better to behave and just drink obediently.

In this gathering, Zheng Qian was the protagonist.

And Jin Lu was the well-deserved heroine!

They had been drinking perfectly fine, when Tian Kaixuan, a bar owner with a scar on his face, suddenly burst into tears in front of everyone.

The socialites were stunned.

"Boss Tian, what's this about? Why the tears?" Zheng Qian asked.

"President Zheng, can I speak about it?"

"You can, of course you can."

Seeing how much face Tian Kaixuan had given him today, Zheng Qian figured he must have run into some trouble, and if he was coming to him, it probably had something to do with money.

"To be honest, President Zheng, I can't keep this bar running anymore!"

Tian Kaixuan tearfully complained to Zheng Qian that he had a son studying abroad who had caused some trouble, offended someone he shouldn't have, and urgently needed money to smooth things over.

"Boss Tian, do you mean you want to sell Red Rose?" Zheng Qian understood what Tian Kaixuan meant.

"That's right."

Zheng Qian and Jin Lu exchanged a look.

Red Rose generated high revenue in Yebai; even the authorities didn't dare to easily touch this bar.

"How much?"

"President Zheng, let me give you an honest price: 50 million for the entire Red Rose."

50 million for a bar wasn't expensive; it was actually cheap.

As far as Zheng Qian knew, a high-class bar or nightclub would cost 10 to 20 million just for the decoration, so Tian Kaixuan wasn't overcharging him.

Jin Lu felt that Tian Kaixuan was being a bit impatient.

They had known Zheng Qian for less than three hours, and he was already talking about such a big deal.

Even if you really ran into trouble, this wasn't how things were usually done.

Zheng Qian also felt it wasn't quite appropriate.

He had originally thought he was just here to make friends, but they started talking about a 50-million deal right off the bat.

But to be honest, Zheng Qian was a little tempted.

Red Rose's revenue-generating ability was indeed very strong; over the course of a year, the net profit would easily be over 10 million.

Zheng Qian had a sudden flash of inspiration; an idea popped into his head.

"Shuangshuang, are you able to handle things on your own right now?"

"My schedule is still fairly flexible, why?"

When Jin Lu heard Zheng Qian ask her that, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

Could it be that Zheng Qian really wanted to buy Red Rose?

Zheng Qian gave a wry smile.

Jin Lu called that "fairly flexible," but it seemed like her time was quite tight.

Her schedule was different from normal people's; she was the type to live one day as three, not wasting a single bit of free time.

"Aren't you having a birthday soon? Let me give you a birthday gift in advance."

"What gift?"

Zheng Qian drew a circle with his finger.

"I'll buy this bar and give it to you. It happens to help Boss Tian out and lets me make a friend of him."

The entire Red Rose!

A birthday gift worth 50 million?!

Boom!

The heads of the socialites present felt a jolt, as if a bomb had exploded right next to their ears.

Jin Lu just knew nothing good would come of it.

He was actually planning to buy it.

"Qian, you might want to think about this a bit more."

"Boss Tian, you're not in a rush, right?"

Jin Lu glanced at Tian Kaixuan.

Tian Kaixuan didn't dare to even breathe loudly now and quickly replied, "No rush, no rush."

If he said he was in a rush, it would be forcing Zheng Qian to make a decision now, and this deal would likely fall through.

Opening up to Zheng Qian like this today was already a major taboo; he didn't dare to say anything wrong again.

"Hmm, let me think."

"I've thought it through."

Zheng Qian manipulated his phone.

"Boss Tian, enter your bank account number. I want to give this bar to my woman."

Everyone present: ???

Did you really think about it?

Thought about it for 3 seconds?

This is called thinking?

Tian Kaixuan tremblingly took the phone; having spent so long in the world, he had never seen someone so wealthy and generous.

He was right to seek out Zheng Qian!

Tian Kaixuan's hands were shaking the whole time, and he entered the card number wrong several times.

After confirming repeatedly, he finally returned the phone to Zheng Qian.

[Spent 50,000,000 yuan, system cashback 500,000,000, already credited.]

Zheng Qian received the system cashback, 500 million!

Almost at the same time, Tian Kaixuan also received a text message from the bank.

50 million received!

He knelt right down to Zheng Qian!

The other socialites were stunned.

They couldn't believe their eyes.

Even if you buy Red Rose, there should be a contract, right?

This is 50 million, not 5,000!

Zheng Qian just transferred it like that?

It was only then that everyone realized,
