The lights flickered, dim and ambiguous. As soon as she entered, a wave of gaudy fragrances and strange alcohol smells rushed towards her face.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Wen Ling covered her nose, trembling as she stood there. "The air here is so bad."
"Miss, please follow me. I'll arrange your work," a man said.
"Oh, okay! I'm coming!" Wen Ling eagerly followed the man, trotting through the winding corridors until they reached a door marked "Manager's Office."
The middle-aged man entered first and exchanged a glance with a heavily made-up older woman inside. "Manager, this is the part-time worker I introduced, here to deliver drinks. Please arrange something for her."
The older woman looked Wen Ling up and down, then grinned, revealing her bright red lips. "Hehe, sure, if she's a beauty you brought, I'll definitely assign her the easiest tasks."
Wen Ling glanced around the manager's office and noticed a poster of Michael Jackson on the wall. She muttered to herself, "I've seen the DVD of that concert; it was really good. Do you like Michael Jackson too, Auntie?"
Bang!
The manager's face fell. "Cough, cough, am I that old? Calling me Auntie?"
How annoying! It made her feel uncomfortable.
Wen Ling then looked at the wrinkled manager and blinked. "Oh, then... Big Auntie?"
"Big Auntie?!" The manager gritted her teeth.
"..." Wen Ling was confused. If she didn't call her Big Auntie, should she call her Grandma?
The middle-aged man suppressed his laughter and nudged Wen Ling. "Call her Sister."
Sister?!
Sweat.
Isn't that a bit too far off?
Wen Ling felt goosebumps all over and reluctantly called out, "Sister..."
"Cough, cough! Newcomer, you need to work obediently. If you don't do well and the customers are not satisfied, don't say you won't earn money; you might even have to pay us back, got it?"
What? This girl really is quite pretty. No wonder the boss of the ghost python wants to get her. Those eyes really are like a little deer, quite alluring.
If she were to accompany customers or be taken out, oh my, wouldn't the price skyrocket?
Pay back?
Wen Ling raised an eyebrow. "What circumstances would count as the customers being unsatisfied? Paying back? Isn't that a bit pointless?"
The middle-aged manager smirked. "Little sister, no need to worry. As long as you behave and don't have too much of an attitude, you'll make a lot of money."
"Oh..." Wen Ling nodded, somewhat understanding. She scratched her head and impatiently asked, "So, um... Big Auntie Sister, when can I start working?"
Goodness, she just wanted to get to work, finish an hour, and then settle her pay and leave.
The manager was very displeased with Wen Ling calling her "Big Auntie Sister." She pouted and snapped her fingers, and immediately a similarly made-up woman walked in. "Chunlan, take her to change into a work uniform. Remember, don't let her wear something too big; it won't look good."
Wearing a tight work uniform would highlight a woman's S-curve figure, enticing men to spend money for fun.
"Hehe..." Wen Ling smiled at Chunlan, following her. She then asked, "Sister, is your name Chunlan? Like Chunlan Air Conditioning?"
Bang!
Chunlan fell over.
She glared at Wen Ling. "Hmph, that's a stage name, got it? You're so outdated!"
Outdated?
Wen Ling was astonished.
She was called outdated by someone named Chunlan?
She poked Chunlan's shoulder. "By the way, Chunlan Sister, do you have any names like Xiahe, Qiujun, or Dongmei here?"
If so, she might as well go bang her head against the wall.
Chunlan nodded. "Sure, how do you know about our Four Heavenly Kings?"
Four Heavenly Kings?
Oh, haha...
Wen Ling couldn't hold back her laughter, clutching her stomach and rolling on the floor. "Hahaha, Chunlan, Xiahe, Qiujun, Dongmei are the Four Heavenly Kings here? Hahaha... Are they women?"
Did these four weirdos not know that the Four Heavenly Kings referred to men?
Once, she learned that a kindergarten also had Four Heavenly Kings, and later found out that these four kids were the bedwetting champions of the kindergarten, abbreviated as the Four Heavenly Kings.
"Our Four Heavenly Kings here are the biggest female kings who hit women every day. You better watch out; if I get angry, I'll crush your little ones."
"Little ones? Do I even have those?"
Chunlan was flustered. She rummaged through a cabinet and pulled out the smallest work uniform, tossing it onto Wen Ling's head. "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and change into the work uniform; we're going to start working right away!"
"Hehe, the work efficiency here is really high. I just arrived and can start working right away. What great efficiency!" Wen Ling thought to herself. High efficiency is good; this way, she could earn money in the shortest time.
After taking off her clothes and changing into the 'work uniform,' Wen Ling stood in front of the dressing mirror, stunned.
"Chunlan Sister, did you make a mistake? This... this can't possibly be my work uniform!"
The top was a bra, and the bottom was a very short skirt.
There were also a pair of black fishnet stockings, the kind that looked like they would tear easily...
Chunlan peeked at Wen Ling and widened her eyes.
Oh, who would have thought? The girl who just wore student-like clothes suddenly transformed into such a seductive figure?
That full, perky chest, and that perfectly curved, lifted bottom, those long legs...
Even women would drool, let alone men!
"Oh my..." Chunlan couldn't help but exclaim.
"What? What did you say?"
Wen Ling scratched her ear.
"You have a bright future ahead; you will become a god in our establishment!"
Oh?
There are gods among drink deliverers?
A woman shouted, "Chunlan! The manager wants the newcomer to deliver drinks to Room 6!"
Chunlan immediately replied, "Okay, let her go there right away!"
Then she patted Wen Ling on the shoulder. "Stop being dazed; hurry up and go deliver drinks to Room 6!"
"Ah?" Wen Ling retreated instead of advancing. "You want me to deliver drinks dressed like this? I can't go like this! This isn't even clothing!"
Especially that black bra, with its thin straps on her back; if someone shameless yanked it, she'd be left exposed.
No way! She didn't want to be embarrassed like that.
"No! I won't go!"
Chunlan got anxious, turned around, and pulled out a cattle prod from the cabinet, flicking it on. "Are you going or not? If not, I'll zap you! I'll make you fall apart! Hurry up, don't dawdle!"
Wen Ling saw that it was a real cattle prod and was so scared her hair stood on end. "Chunlan Sister, please don't be impulsive! Impulsiveness is the devil. Let's talk this out. I'm here to deliver drinks, not to do anything else. Please don't get it wrong!"
Chunlan sneered. "Hehe, you really are naive. What do you think this place is?"
"What place?"
"This is Wumei! The most famous night entertainment venue in Singapore! In our establishment, the women who are taken out and kept are the most! Even if you're just a drink deliverer, you have to dress like this; it's our Wumei's signature work uniform!"
Oh...
A night entertainment venue...
Oh no, oh no... How did I get tricked into such a place?
What to do...
Wen Ling panicked, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Hurry up and go to Room 6!"
"I don't want to be a drink deliverer anymore! I quit! I'm leaving!"
"Leave? Are you dreaming?" Chunlan laughed coldly. "Let me tell you, since you've come to Wumei, you can't leave! You think you can just quit? You think you can just not work? That's not up to you! Someone! Take this girl to Room 6!"
"Okay, Chunlan!"
Two big men walked in, completely indifferent to her plight, each grabbing one of Wen Ling's arms and dragging her away.
Wen Ling was terrified, crying out, "Let me go! I don't want to go! I don't want to work! Let me go... You're violating human rights! This is illegal! Let me go..."
They passed through many corridors, like walking through a maze. Wen Ling saw many women dressed like her, exposing their young bodies without dignity, yet still smiling in the arms of men.
Ugh...
She absolutely did not want to be an escort!
Bang!
Room 6 opened, and the two men threw Wen Ling onto the floor and left, closing the door behind them.
Wen Ling raised her head from the carpet and gasped. What was going on?
This was nothing like the Golden Emperor Nightclub; here, all the rooms were private, with TVs for karaoke, and many sofas. The better rooms even had bedrooms for sleeping.
A group of men and women sat mixed together on the sofas, with men hugging women in their arms, and those women looked like prostitutes!
"Hey? Why is this woman lying on the floor? Hey, what are you doing?"
A drunken man shouted at Wen Ling.
Wen Ling forced a smile. "Sorry, I think I'm in the wrong room. You all continue having fun."
Just as she was about to run out, a man, already drunk, rushed over, grabbing her and cheerfully shouting, "I want this one! This pretty one! Wow, this little chest is just perfect! Come on, let me touch it..."
As he reached out his hand towards Wen Ling's chest, she pushed him away, sending him tumbling to the ground.
"Get away! You pervert!"
Lian Kang watched the surveillance footage, drinking and laughing heartily. "Good, good, this is so entertaining. Wen Ling is really something; she even dares to push customers away. Haha, let her taste a little lesson, and then I'll go play the hero."
One of his subordinates nodded and spoke into the intercom, "Let the newcomer have a little taste of hardship."
Luo Yuan was on the verge of tears.
Walking through the sea of people, he realized how terrifying it was.
"Sister, my great-grandmother, if you appear before me now and ask me to bark like a dog, or if you want me to strip and be your model, I would agree! Please, just show up! I don't want to die!"
"Luo Yuan, is that woman up ahead?"
"Which one?"
Luo Yuan hurriedly looked, and just one glance made him frown again. "What kind of eyes do you have? How could that aunt be our sister? Our sister is short with shoulder-length hair!"
The other guys didn't dare to speak out and continued searching!
After finishing several meetings and signing a few major contracts, Bai Haonan revealed a satisfied smile.
A regional manager from the Asia-Pacific region grabbed Bai Haonan's arm enthusiastically. "Come on, Bai, let's go have a drink. Let's celebrate!"
