Chapter 30: The Aura of a Diva

Except for Xia Xixi, the secretary who often followed the boss and was used to seeing big shots, almost everyone else was subdued by Boss Han's aura.

Although Boss Han was dressed a bit casually, his every gesture carried the demeanor and aura of a big shot.

Yebai's Wangyue Island is a high-end leisure and entertainment venue, and as the owner of Wangyue Island, Boss Han is naturally a big shot who possesses immense wealth and commands an elite network.

But even such a big shot was so polite to the company's newly arrived Vice President, speaking with such enthusiasm.

That means Zheng Qian's background is extraordinary; he is not just a Vice President of a company, but might have other identities as well.

Hao Ruxue: [Favorability +5, Current Favorability: 65 points]

Chang Mengmeng: [Favorability +5, Current Favorability: 65 points]

He Yanyan: [Favorability +5, Current Favorability: 45 points]

Zhong Xiaoyao: [Favorability +2, Current Favorability: 72 points]

Zheng Qian saw this, and he felt quite helpless.

Boss Han just came over to say hello, so why did your Favorability increase so much again?

If it were so easy to max it out, how would he spend money on these women in the future?

Only Deng Shuxin and Xia Xixi's Favorability didn't change, one at 40 points, the other at 35 points.

After they were mostly done eating, it was still early, only a little past nine o'clock.

[Spent 14,564 yuan, system cashback 145,640 yuan, already received.]

One hundred and forty thousand had arrived.

He had recovered a portion of the red packets he sent out this afternoon.

Zheng Qian suggested moving the party to the KTV next door to sing, which everyone agreed to.

Getting a private room and ordering a few slightly expensive bottles of liquor would probably be enough.

When ordering drinks, Zheng Qian basically ordered very expensive ones; the most expensive bottle was Hennessy, costing 60,000 yuan per bottle.

"President Zheng, you aren't seeing things, are you? This bottle of wine costs 60,000, not 6,000," Chang Mengmeng reminded him from the side.

"So what if it's 60,000? I ordered it for you all, drink whatever you want, it's on me!"

Damn, a man who spends 100 million on a Rolls-Royce obviously wouldn't care about a few tens of thousands of yuan.

To them, a few tens of thousands of yuan was several months' salary, but for Zheng Qian, it was just the cost of a night's drinking.

A man who spends 100 million on a Rolls-Royce—if you just use your brain and think about it—you would know that Zheng Qian couldn't possibly care about a few tens of thousands of yuan.

Chang Mengmeng then realized she had spoken out of turn.

Opening the private room and ordering drinks cost about 120,000 to 130,000 yuan; Zheng Qian felt that was enough.

He had sent out hundreds of thousands in red packets that afternoon; not only did he recoup the cost, but he also stood to make hundreds of thousands.

Sure enough, when it comes to things like liquor, there are always ones as expensive as you want.

Using liquor to farm the system's cashback was a trick Zheng Qian used repeatedly with great success.

Xia Xixi was also a bit surprised; she seemed to have underestimated this man's financial power.

This is no gigolo; he's a total tycoon. He spends money like water, even Chen Weiqiang can't compare.

She had even thought earlier that Zheng Qian wanting to buy a Rolls-Royce was just him bragging in front of the girls, so she had consciously played along and pretended to agree.

Xia Xixi seemed to have miscalculated; Zheng Qian saying he would buy a Rolls-Royce seemed to be serious?

If he really wanted to buy one, it might be a bit late to contact them now.

Regardless of whether he buys it or not, since she, as his assistant, had agreed, she had to at least make the call.

Thinking about this, Xia Xixi walked out to call the nearest Rolls-Royce dealership.

Seeing Xia Xixi walk out, Zhong Xiaoyao took the opportunity to sit on Zheng Qian's right side.

"Excuse me for the interruption. This is wine gifted to President Zheng by our Boss Han, wishing President Zheng a fun night," a waiter said as he pushed a cart in.

Two bottles of XO—not too expensive, but not cheap either—were kept in an ice bucket to keep the liquor at a very low temperature.

In addition to the liquor, there were various fruit platters.

"Alright, put it there," Zheng Qian said, pointing to the coffee table.

After the waiter left, Xia Xixi returned from her call. Seeing that Zhong Xiaoyao had changed seats, she just glanced at her and didn't say anything.

He Yanyan loved singing and had never used equipment that was nearly studio-grade, so she was the first to grab the microphone, selected "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," and started singing passionately.

"Don't you drink?" Zheng Qian looked at Xia Xixi on his left. In his impression, he hadn't seen Xia Xixi drink before; whether last time or this time, Xia Xixi hadn't touched alcohol.

"I can drink, but usually when I'm out with the boss, I have to drive, so I don't touch alcohol."

"You don't need to drive this time, have a little." Zheng Qian put some ice cubes into an empty glass and proactively poured a drink for Xia Xixi.

"Xixi, President Zheng poured the drink for you himself; you aren't going to refuse, are you?" Zhong Xiaoyao saw this and chimed in.

Xia Xixi glanced at the glass. Her work stress was quite high, and in her spare time, she liked to have a drink at home, but she had never really drunk alcohol of this level and quality.

Drinking a little wouldn't hurt.

"That's more like it. We're out to have fun; you don't need to stay in work mode all the time." Seeing Xia Xixi pick up the glass and take two sips, Zheng Qian smiled with satisfaction.

Zheng Qian just wanted to focus his energy on drinking and singing; this was the only way to distract himself so he wouldn't think about Yao Manman.

"Not bad, not bad, you sing really well. I just love listening to good singing."

Zheng Qian thought He Yanyan sang quite well and clapped in praise.

"Who's singing next?"

"President Zheng, why don't you sing one?" someone teased.

"Yeah, President Zheng, sing one for us; we are all your audience."

"No, no, no, I can't sing. My mouth is only for eating and drinking today." Zheng Qian quickly refused; he didn't want to expose that he was tone-deaf.

"I'll do it."

Deng Shuxin, who had been silent all this time, walked to the microphone and selected Jay Chou's street-famous song "Simple Love."

She parted her ruby lips and revealed her pearly teeth:

"I can't say why, but I've become very proactive..."

Zheng Qian was immediately blown away.

Her voice was melodious, like flowers with morning dew; when it reached the ears, it was an indescribably wonderful experience.

"Good! That sounds great!"

Zheng Qian clapped and cheered.

Deng Shuxin had no intention of stepping down; instead, she selected another song, Joker Xue's "Unfinished Song."

"I've sung for you, a wandering journey..."

Her voice was clear, moist, and sweet, like a spring of water flowing, nourishing the heart.

After this song was finished, Zheng Qian was a bit stunned; he hadn't expected Deng Shuxin to sing so well.

Zhong Xiaoyao keenly captured this expression of Zheng Qian's.

She stood up, feeling very unconvinced, walked to the microphone, and selected Diva Tsai's "Agent J."

"Screams pierce through the long night..."

After the song, everyone applauded for it.

Zhong Xiaoyao's voice was also excellent, and every note she hit was very standard.

She naturally possessed the aura of a mature woman, and combined with the fact that she was singing a Diva's song, she immediately became the center of attention.

After stepping down, Zhong Xiaoyao glanced at Deng Shuxin with contempt.

"When this young lady was in school, I wasn't just on the diving team; I was the soloist in the choir, okay?"

"Want to compete with me for a man? You'd better step aside."

Zheng Qian couldn't help but gasp.

He realized that this Zhong Xiaoyao was truly not simple; she was talented, versatile, and her abilities were likely not weak.

Most importantly, she followed the teachings of a famous quote.

"Good men are high-quality resources; they won't come to you on their own. You must strike first and reach out to grab them."

Zhong Xiaoyao had clearly put this saying to full use.

When she discovered that she had been upstaged by Deng Shuxin, she immediately selected a high-spirited song by Diva Tsai to overpower Deng Shuxin's two love songs.

Especially those two sexy gasps, which showcased her mature woman aura to the fullest.

When he heard those two sounds, Zheng Qian almost spat out his drink.

Among the women Zheng Qian knew, Zhong Xiaoyao's level was likely second only to Jin Lu.

"President Zheng, what do you think of my singing?"
