Chapter 400: Chapter 191: That Was the Previous Price, Now You Have to Pay More
The woman smiled and said, "Here by yourself?"
"No, with a friend."
Xu Yun glanced back in Yan Can’s direction and said, "But he seems a little busy."
The woman followed his gaze and teased, "I can see that. Your friend is popular with the ladies."
"Did you need something?"
"Not really. I was a bit bored on my own, and since you were alone too, I thought I’d come over and chat."
Xu Yun said half-jokingly, "You’re not hitting on me because you think I’m handsome and have a great body, are you?"
"Could I?"
The woman, not the least bit embarrassed, smiled. "And I’m not too hard on the eyes myself, right?"
Xu Yun looked her up and down, then suddenly said loudly, "Hey beautiful, how about 5,000? I’ll give you a discount."
"???" The woman was speechless.
"We’re all just out here trying to make a living. You can’t expect to sleep with me for free, can you?"
"!!!" The woman could feel the eyes of everyone around them, and her face burned with humiliation.
"4,500. That’s my final offer. It’s the best price I can give you."
"Are you insane?" the woman snapped, a mixture of shame and anger on her face, before swimming away furiously.
She quickly got out of the water and left the pool area, as if she had made some kind of firm decision, never to return.
Not far away, Yan Can was happily chatting with a woman. Xu Yun’s sudden performance left him completely dumbfounded.
’How did this turn into a transaction?’
The woman with him followed his gaze and asked doubtfully, "Is that your friend?"
"Yeah."
The woman paused for a moment, then asked subconsciously, "Then... you’re not a gigolo too, are you?"
"..." Yan Can was speechless.
’I’m not a gigolo, but you’re definitely a high-class hooker!’
"I’m asking you a question."
Yan Can shot her a look. "Quack quack."
"You, a gigolo, were sitting here talking to me about life and dreams? Are you sick in the head? What a waste of my time."
The woman’s expression instantly turned cold, and she also turned and swam away.
She had spent over 1,000 yuan for a one-night stay and even bought a ticket to this pool, all to snag a rich catch.
And it turned out the guy she’d been chatting up for ages was a gigolo?
Now that the woman was gone, Yan Can swam back to Xu Yun’s side, confused. "Brother Xu, what was that all about?"
"Negotiating my price."
Xu Yun joked, "Did I ask for too much? Scared her off? It’s my first time, I don’t have any experience."
"..." Yan Can was speechless.
Xu Yun asked curiously, "By the way, what happened to that woman you were laughing and chatting with?"
"The moment she heard you were my friend, her face changed and she left."
Yan Can said sarcastically, "She’s in the same business, yet she’s looking down on her own kind."
"How do you know?"
"This isn’t my first rodeo."
Yan Can said confidently, "I can spot an escort a mile away."
"So, do you think the woman who approached me was one?"
Yan Can thought back for a moment and replied, "Probably not. She didn’t have that... professional air about her."
"..." Xu Yun was speechless.
’Could it be that she really just wanted to sleep with me because I’m so handsome?’
....
Meanwhile, the woman who had hit on Xu Yun returned to her room.
She made a phone call, complaining, "Boss, are you sure you’re not messing with me?"
"What do you mean?"
A man’s voice asked over the phone, "You’ve already approached him?"
"Yes, I did."
The woman plopped onto the sofa, frustrated. "And he demanded money from me!"
"Money? What money?"
"He said it would cost 5,000 yuan to sleep with him for one night!"
The man: "..."
When he went silent, the woman continued, "You wanted me to seduce a gigolo? My dear young master, what were you thinking!"
"Alright, I get it."
The man on the phone said, "I’ll have someone transfer 20,000 to your account in a bit."
"Really?"
The woman was surprised she was getting paid even for this. She said happily, "Then thank you, Boss."
"Don’t thank me yet. The mission I gave you is still on."
The man said, "If you can successfully seduce him into bed and send me photos, I’ll give you five times the amount I originally promised."
"Wait, Boss, who is he, really?" The woman now realized that he wasn’t a gigolo at all.
"Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t. That’s all. I’m hanging up."
The man added a final instruction, "Don’t call me again until you’ve succeeded."
After she hung up, her phone buzzed a few minutes later with a notification: a 20,000 yuan transfer!
Staring at the text message on her phone, the woman hesitated for a moment, then stood up and headed straight back to the swimming pool.
’Money is important!’
’And he’s pretty handsome!’
’This is a winning proposition no matter how you look at it. I’m in!’
’It’s just seducing a man, after all.’
’According to the boss’s mission, all I have to do is get him into bed and take a picture to get paid.’
’He wanted money, right?’
’I’ll just give him 5,000 for the night. The rest is pure profit for me, isn’t it?’
...
Having gotten out of the pool, Xu Yun and Yan Can were already heading toward the gym, planning to lift some weights with Lin Wanzhou.
Besides, they also wanted to see just how formidable a former special forces soldier’s physique really was.
The two arrived at the gym. The equipment and facilities were on par with any standard fitness center, with a wide variety of machines.
Compared to the atmosphere at the pool, it was much better here. The people working out were, for the most part, respectable individuals.
Even the women who were exercising weren’t wearing yoga pants; they were all in more casual workout attire.
Xu Yun and Yan Can walked around and found Lin Wanzhou doing crunches.
He was wearing a tank top, and the muscles on his arms and chest were clearly defined. They weren’t bulky, but they looked solid and powerful—functional, not just for show.
Moreover, some distinct scars, both deep and shallow, were visible on his arms, testaments to his past.
’Looks like he wasn’t lying.’
Covered in sweat, Lin Wanzhou saw the two of them and stopped, asking, "Weren’t you guys going for a swim?"
"We’re done. We thought we’d come work out with you."
Xu Yun smiled and sat down on the machine next to him. "I used to work out for a while too. How about a crunch contest?"
"With me?"
Lin Wanzhou looked at him and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course."
Xu Yun said to Yan Can, "Come on, you can be the referee. I’ll compete against Tour Guide Lin."
He might not be able to compete in other things, but when it came to core strength, he feared no one.
’Did they think all his nightly "training" was for nothing?’
"Ready, set, go."
At Yan Can’s command, Lin Wanzhou and Xu Yun began.
At first, Lin Wanzhou was clearly faster than Xu Yun, but as they continued, his pace started to slow down.
Xu Yun, however, maintained the same steady, unhurried pace he had from the start.
After more than ten minutes, Lin Wanzhou was already on the verge of exhaustion.
But seeing Xu Yun next to him, still going at a leisurely pace without the slightest sign of strain, he conceded defeat.
"I lose."
Wanzhou had to admit it—Xu Yun’s endurance was truly incredible!
"This is the one thing I’m good at."
Xu Yun smiled and wiped away some sweat. "If we were competing in anything else, I’d be no match."
"You’re being too modest, President Xu."
Lin Wanzhou said, "That kind of endurance isn’t something an ordinary person can achieve."
"Yeah, for example, if it were me, I’d be completely out of gas after 30,"
Yan Can said, "Looks like I need to be more disciplined and work out more in the future."
After that, Xu Yun went off by himself to run on a treadmill.
He’d eaten so much at dinner and felt like he hadn’t quite digested it all.
He put on his phone’s Bluetooth earbuds and began his 10-kilometer mission.
As he was running, a familiar woman appeared on the treadmill next to him.
The woman greeted him, "What a coincidence. We meet again."
"Is it a coincidence?"
Xu Yun said as he ran, calling her bluff, "I’d say you came looking for me specifically."
"..." The woman was speechless.
Xu Yun chuckled. "You want to sleep with me that badly?"
"Yes, that’s right."
The woman said bluntly, "If you agree, I’ll transfer you 5,000 yuan right now."
Xu Yun looked at her and smiled meaningfully. "That was the old price. Now you’ll have to pay more."
"..."
The woman asked curiously, "How much do you want?"
"One hundred thousand!"
The woman stared, her eyes wide in disbelief.
Hearing that price, she really wanted to ask—"Is your dick made of gold? How could it be worth that much!"
