Zhou Chi sighed in relief. “Hey, was my performance in the teahouse earlier okay?”
Shen Wan nodded, “Not bad, you’ve got guts.”
“What do you mean?”
“Daring to curse loudly in front of Quan Hanting, I guess you’re the first one.” Shen Wan patted his shoulder, looking like she was saying, “You’re amazing, buddy.”
“Hey, that’s nothing. 1 can fight too!”
Shen Wan chuckled and gave him a thumbs up.
Zhou Chi looked at her inexplicably. “What’s so funny?”
“Nothing… 1 just think you’re very courageous.”
“That guy surnamed Quan, is he really that formidable?” Zhou Chi snorted, unconvinced.
But later, as he came to grasp the significance of the name “Quan Hanting” and reflected on his actions today, which had been marked by bravado and profanity, Zhou Chi realized that this might be the high point of his life.
After laughing, Shen Wan suddenly became serious. “What are your thoughts about the gaming team?”
Zhou Chi pondered for a while and solemnly assured her, “I will do my best.”
“Alright, 1’11 return to Ning City the day after tomorrow. You stay here and handle the handover with Yi Hong. It’s not too late to go back after you’re familiar with the team.”
“But 1 haven’t had a chance to resign from the bar job…”
Shen Wan said, “You can rest assured and stay here. I’ll take care of that side.”
“Take care? How?” Zhou Chi furrowed his brow, feeling more and more irritated. “This has nothing to do with you. 1’11 go back as soon as possible, settle the matter, and then take over the team.”
Shen Wan asked with the same words, “How do you plan to settle it?”
Zhou Chi fell silent.
“Pay the money, or just charge in and fight? They have the contract in their hands, can you win by force?”
“It’s just twenty thousand, can’t 1 compensate them?!”
“And how are you going to get the money?” Shen Wan countered.
Zhou Chi lowered his eyes in embarrassment, “Can you… lend it to me first? 1 promise I’ll pay you back!” He was confident about this; whether the team succeeded or not, this little game in his hands could be sold to any company for that price.
“Do you think this is a problem that money can solve?”
“Then what?” Zhou Chi raised his head.
Shen Wan sighed lightly, something flashed in her eyes too quickly for him to see, and then it disappeared.
“Do you think Night Paris has reached its current scale because its owner is short of your meager twenty thousand?”
“Judging by your tone, it seems like you know more than me?”
Shen Wan continued, “In any case, listen to me. Stay here and focus on your work; you don’t need to worry about anything else.”
“But…”
“No ‘buts’!” In an instant, her tone turned sharp. But in the next moment, a soothing smile graced the lips of the young girl, her voice softening, “All Chi, trust me, okay?”
That utterance of “Ah Chi” left him speechless, and his heart softened, accompanied by a subtle flutter. No one else noticed, except for himself.
“. Alright.” He heard himself sigh in acquiescence.
Next, the two of them discussed matters related to the gaming team for a full two hours.
As the sun set, the sky turned a bright orange hue.
Shen Wan glanced at her watch. “Let’s wrap it up for today. We should focus on addressing the fundamental issues before we have the energy to delve into deeper thinking.”
So, they went out to find food, eventually choosing a nearby private restaurant.
After finishing their meal, it was already dark, and the streetlights lining the streets cast a warm, yellowish glow against the night sky.
Beihai, located on the southeast coast of Huaxia, had a humid atmosphere. As the night fell, accompanied by occasional cool breezes, it tousled Shen Wan’s long hair.
The cheongsam she had worn earlier at “Shang Yuan” had been replaced by a comfortable dress. As the wind blew, the white dress’s hem fluttered freely..
