She hadn't expected to encounter him here and, startled, she quickly lowered her head, her trembling fingers dancing erratically across the piano keys, even jumbling a few notes.
Luckily, everyone's attention was drawn to Si Ye; no one noticed her lapse in composure.
However, the man surrounded by the crowd cast a fleeting glance in her direction, subtle yet discernible.
Chen Zhi thought that Si Ye probably hadn't seen her. And even if he had, it wouldn't matter.
Wealthy men had many women, and one-night stands were common; they certainly didn't have the energy to remember every woman's face.
She feared recognition from him, maybe he wouldn't be pleased to recognize her either.
Thinking so, Chen Zhi relaxed considerably. After playing the piano for two hours, feeling somewhat tired, she stepped away to rest.
No sooner had she walked into the restroom than a figure, large as a mountain, followed her in.
Chen Zhi turned to see who it was and jumped, "Sir, you've made a mistake, this is the ladies' restroom!"
The man, a little over forty, with a chubby face and lecherous eyes, stared at her with bad intentions, reeking of alcohol.
He pulled out a wallet from his coat, took out a stack of cash, and tried to hand it to her.
Chen Zhi stepped back, and the money fell to the ground, a bright red spread.
The man pulled out another stack of cash and waved it in front of Chen Zhi, "Sleep with me tonight, and all this money is yours."
Chen Zhi's head felt like it was about to burst, trembling with rage; there was crap everywhere!
She sidestepped him, attempting to leave.
Her arm was grabbed by the man, and like touching something filthy, she hurriedly shook off his hand.
"Sir, please have some self-respect!"
The man still grinned lewdly, "I'm serious, if you spend the night with me, I'll give you a hundred thousand, how about that?"
As he spoke, his sleazy eyes roamed over Chen Zhi's exquisite figure.
Chen Zhi glanced at him with disgust, not wanting to entangle with such a person any longer, and quickly headed for the door.
But who would have thought that the man was so audacious, he actually ran over and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Chen Zhi immediately struggled fiercely, letting out a shrill scream, "Let go of me!"
"Sweetheart, spend the night with me, just one night. A hundred thousand is enough to cover your performances for half a year. Do you know who I am? I'm the Chairman of Jin Enterprises. Stick with me, and I promise you the good life," the man said, trying to subdue her struggling while revealing his identity to tempt her.
