Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: The Lute Player Half-Hidden Behind Her Pipa

The lighting in the private room was somewhat dim, but it was warm and comfortable inside. Ning Xingchen leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile, "Sister Jing, what are we waiting for? Bring in those girls!"

"Alright, Ning Shao, please wait a moment!" Sister Jing turned and walked out.

Five minutes later, Sister Jing returned with eight girls dressed in revealing outfits that showed off their shoulders and legs. Each girl was tall, with a beautiful face. It was clear that the club had carefully selected them. They were indeed much better than ordinary girls, and most importantly, they were young.

Lin Hao's eyes were practically glued to them. He silently blamed Sister Jing for not arranging such a setup for him last time, thinking she was really biased.

Sister Jing softly said to the eight beauties, "This is Ning Shao, and this is Lin Shao. Quickly greet the two gentlemen!"

"Hello, Ning Shao, hello, Lin Shao," the girls said in unison.

Sister Jing looked at Ning Xingchen with a smile and said, "Ning Shao, how about it? Are you satisfied? These are our top girls. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have let them come out."

"They're okay," Ning Xingchen replied indifferently. In fact, they still fell short of the beauty he expected and couldn't compare at all to Lin Xun'er and Liu Mingyan.

Sister Jing, having honed her skills in such places for many years, was very perceptive. Seeing Ning Xingchen's calm expression, she guessed that he wasn't inclined to spend money.

"Ning Shao, let me tell you, these girls are all part-timers, all graduates from prestigious universities. We have graduates from Donghai University and Donghai Foreign Languages. High-educated, high-quality professionals!" Sister Jing said proudly.

Ning Xingchen smiled, surprised to find that there were graduates from his alma mater, Donghai University. So, they were his juniors or seniors. How could Donghai University produce such talents? The moral climate really is deteriorating!

"What professions are you all in?" Ning Xingchen suddenly asked.

"I'm a model. I work as a pediatrician in a hospital. I just graduated and haven't found a job yet..." The girls introduced themselves one by one.

"Good, good, all not bad!" Lin Hao's eyes scanned each girl as if he wanted them all.

"Ahem, Lin Hao, show some restraint!" Ning Xingchen coughed lightly and whispered.

"Brother Chen, if you're not choosing, I'll go ahead," Lin Hao said eagerly, rubbing his hands together.

"You go ahead," Ning Xingchen nodded. He had no interest in these girls.

Almost instantly, Lin Hao made his choice without any hesitation, clearly having already made up his mind.

Damn, this guy Lin Hao chose four girls! He's really not afraid of exhausting himself.

"Brother Chen, I'll leave you alone then. See you at noon tomorrow!" Lin Hao laughed, barely able to hold the four girls with both arms.

"Get lost, get out of my sight!" Ning Xingchen pretended to kick Lin Hao.

The remaining girls thought they would be chosen by Ning Xingchen, but he simply started smoking, ignoring them.

Sensing the situation wasn't right, Sister Jing quickly poured a glass of red wine for Ning Xingchen and said obsequiously, "Ning Shao, are you not satisfied with the remaining ones?"

Ning Xingchen didn't reply, but his meaning was clear: these girls didn't catch his eye at all.

"Ning Shao, I know the girls here might not meet your standards. Have you heard of Jiang Zu'er?" Sister Jing hesitated, then brought out her trump card.

"Jiang Zu'er? Never heard of her!" Ning Xingchen shook his head. The name sounded like that of a big star.

...

"Ning Shao, look, this is Jiang Zu'er!" A quick search on Baidu for Jiang Zu'er would bring up many of her photos and news articles.

Ning Xingchen took Sister Jing's phone and glanced at it. Jiang Zu'er seemed to be in her early twenties, looking pure and cute, sweet and charming. She had been a child star, appearing in many popular TV commercials.

"Oh, so it's her!" Ning Xingchen remembered now. A recently aired historical drama, which had been widely discussed on social media, starred her.

"Ning Shao, what do you think?" Sister Jing asked meaningfully.

"Can you contact her?" Ning Xingchen asked.

Seeing Ning Xingchen's interest, Sister Jing's face lit up with a smile. "She's in Donghai for the next few days, promoting her new drama."

Ning Xingchen rarely followed the entertainment industry and wasn't a fan, so he had no impression of Jiang Zu'er. However, the word "star" was like a golden signboard—never tried, always intrigued!

"Sister Jing, please go ahead," Ning Xingchen said, taking out a wad of cash and handing it to Sister Jing.

"No trouble at all. Our service aim is to satisfy the customer. After all, the customer is God, and you are my deity!" Sister Jing said happily. By acting as the middleman, she could also earn a big commission.

"Hahaha, you really know how to do business!" Ning Xingchen chuckled. He realized he had underestimated this club. The boss behind it must be very powerful. He would definitely need to get to know them, as dealing with various people was essential in society.

While Sister Jing went to contact Jiang Zu'er, Ning Xingchen didn't idle. He drank and played drinking games with the remaining girls. The penalty for losing was taking off a piece of clothing. Ning Xingchen, an expert in drinking games, won every time. In no time, the private room was filled with white skin everywhere.

After half an hour, Sister Jing returned, swaying her hips and smiling, indicating success.

"Ning Shao, this way, please!" Sister Jing said respectfully.

Ning Xingchen pushed away the girl clinging to him and followed Sister Jing to another private room.

"Ning Shao, Jiang Zu'er asks for a high price." As they approached the door, Sister Jing whispered in Ning Xingchen's ear.

"How much?"

Sister Jing didn't answer but held up one finger.

"One billion?"

"No, no, ten million per time." Sister Jing's expression changed. She thought, how rich must Ning Shao be to casually mention a billion? She definitely needed to maintain a good relationship with him.

"Haha, that cheap, huh? Seems like she's not doing well in the entertainment industry!" Ning Xingchen sneered, his anticipation diminishing. As the saying goes, cheap things are never good.

Sister Jing forced a laugh, not daring to say more, and continued nodding and bowing. Ning Xingchen's generosity had already left her, a woman of wide experience, a bit shocked.

"Please come in!"

Sister Jing knocked on the door. Inside, a sweet, captivating female voice responded, enough to make countless men swoon!

Sitting on the bed, Jiang Zu'er hurriedly wiped away her tears and smiled, ready to meet the stranger she would soon encounter.
