On the way back home, Luoyang could feel that An Yuying was about to explode.
When a beauty holds a grudge, it can be quite terrifying.
She would vent when the time came.
By then, Luoyang wouldn't know how to appease An Yuying.
Fortunately, although An Yuying was somewhat petty, she was also a gentle beauty.
As long as Luoyang whispered some sweet nothings, he could calm her down.
In this regard, Luoyang was still confident in handling her.
Driving back to the seafood restaurant, Zhu Li and Chen Jie were still there. Luoyang ordered more seafood and planned to return to Zhu Li's bar after supper to enjoy the night.
The reputation of "beauty stream" was quickly established; soon, dealers would come to stock up. Unfortunately, the company had not been established, which would reduce the impression of "beauty stream" in the dealers' minds.
The containers were not yet ready, and a machine was needed to seal one end of the container lids. In such a hurry, it was impossible to complete so much work at once.
"Sister Chen, please hurry up and get the containers ready," Luoyang urged.
"I will look for a factory to make them tomorrow," Chen Jie promised.
"By the way, help me look for a suitable place in the county town. I want to rent it for a martial arts gym," Luoyang said with a smile.
Zhu Li and Chen Jie, hearing that Luoyang really intended to open a martial arts gym, both supported him wholeheartedly. Chen Jie took the charge of finding the venue. As for registering the company, Luoyang asked Zhu Li to handle it.
"Have you thought of a name for the company?" Zhu Li asked.
"I will think of a good name tonight and tell you in the morning," Luoyang replied.
While eating the seafood, An Yuying was silently sulking, clearly displeased.
Hong Jiaxin, on the other hand, was all smiles. She was curious to see how An Yuying and Luoyang would manage the evening after returning home.
After finishing the seafood and settling the bill, Zhu Li invited everyone back to her bar to continue discussing the creation of the WeChat public accounts.
Getting into the car, Luoyang, Hong Jiaxin, and An Yuying all squeezed into Zhu Li's Audi. When Luoyang was driving, Hong Jiaxin fought to sit in the passenger seat, but when Zhu Li drove, she would sit in the back of the car.
Luoyang still sat in the middle, with Hong Jiaxin on his left and An Yuying on his right. Turning his head to glance at Hong Jiaxin, he saw her slyly curling her lips as if to say, "Sister likes it this way. I want to see your drama unfold."
Looking at An Yuying, she was pursing her moist, red lips, brooding alone.
After the car hit the road, Luoyang gently squeezed An Yuying's soft hand with his right hand.
This time, she pushed his hand away, clearly still upset with him.
If it hadn't been for the presence of the other beauties, Luoyang would have appeased An Yuying right away.
Now wasn't the time for sweet talk; he could only give An Yuying a radiant smile.
An Yuying pursed her lips again, clearly still upset with Luoyang.
When a beauty is upset, you have to appease her.
He would only have to wait for a chance to be alone with her, then slowly appease her.
An Yuying wasn't very angry; being quiet for a while wasn't a big issue.
They arrived at Laixi Bar around eleven at night.
The bar closed around one in the morning, so they still had over an hour to enjoy.
Today was Zhu Li's birthday, and upon her return, the bar staff presented her with the prepared gifts, small tokens of their affection.
Zhu Li was delighted and opened a bottle of '82 Lafite to share with Luoyang and the others.
The five of them sat together, sipping wine and chatting casually.
Luoyang originally wanted to create several WeChat public accounts, but after discussing it, An Hong and the second lady didn't want to do live streams as they really didn't have the time. After some deliberation, they decided it was better to focus all their efforts on one public account.
"I have a few hundred followers on my WeChat, and if I really manage it well, I should be able to attract quite a few new followers," Chen Jie swirled her red wine in the goblet.
"Sister Chen, you should show off your wealth a bit. With your beauty, you will quickly become an internet sensation. I'll have Xu Huimin help you with the soft promotion. It won't cost much for the advertisements. Once your WeChat has enough followers, you can promote my skincare products. As long as it kicks off with good reviews, that's all that matters," Luo Yang said with a smile.
When it came to discussing advertisements, Luo Yang named the candidates for the ads, which were Hong Jiaxin, An Yuying, Zhu Li, Chen Jie, Tang Guihua, and Suyun. Having them in the adverts would save a lot of money.
Zhu Li and Chen Jie were eager to try.
After half a glass of red wine, Zhu Li said, "Let's dance."
In the room, only Zhu Li and Chen Jie knew how to dance; Luo Yang, Hong Jiaxin, and An Yuying were all novices.
"I'll teach you to tango. Niu Zai, you go first," Zhu Li moved to a clear space in the private room.
Luo Yang stepped in front of Zhu Li, and under her instruction, he began to learn. As the music started, he followed her steps. Being a novice, he occasionally stepped on her feet.
Soon after, Chen Jie also began teaching An Hong and another girl to dance.
In the midst of their fun, they saw Sister Piao, who worked at the bar, bringing in a fruit platter.
From Sister Piao's longing look, it was clear she also wanted to join the dance.
But she was just a bar server and didn't dare to come over without the owner's permission.
On the way out of the private room, Sister Piao sought Luo Yang's help with her eyes.
In the Hongyun Brigade, Luo Yang would help Sister Piao out of genuine concern.
He wanted Sister Piao to have a happy life and not to live like before, listlessly.
Sister Piao's situation couldn't be explained in just a few words.
Simply put, Sister Piao might just have bad luck that led to a hard fate.
Being from the same village, Luo Yang also thought about asking Sister Piao to join in the fun, but he wasn't sure if she wanted to dance and still needed to ask her.
After she left, Luo Yang said to Zhu Li, "I'm going to talk to her about something."
He found Sister Piao outside the private room.
If Sister Piao wanted to join in with everyone, he still needed to check with Zhu Li,
as Sister Piao was a server at the bar, and Zhu Li was the owner. It would be inappropriate for Luo Yang to suddenly ask Sister Piao to stay. He also noticed the wistfulness in Sister Piao's eyes. He wanted to comfort her and invite her for late-night snacks in the evening.
Sister Piao was still in the hallway, dressed in her server's outfit—waistcoat, blouse, and short skirt, which gave her a unique charm. Luo Yang caught up with her and called out, "Sister Piao."
She turned around and, seeing it was Luo Yang, she pursed her red lips and asked, "What's up?"
In the past, if they were close, her pretty face would light up with a smile, but now there was a light gloom, obviously weighed down with thoughts.
"Sister Piao, you look really nice in that outfit," Luo Yang complimented her.
"Really? I still have to work, let's talk more tonight," Sister Piao replied with a forced smile.
With that, she went off to work.
You can tell when a woman is unhappy.
Luo Yang wasn't mistaken; Sister Piao was feeling very lonely. She wanted to make more friends and change her boring lifestyle.
Her life in the Hongyun Brigade wasn't good. She was all alone, and Luo Yang was her best friend, probably her only one.
Luo Yang quickly followed her, grabbed her hand, and said, "Sister Piao, I want to invite you to join us. Are you interested?"
Upon hearing this, Sister Piao's eyes lit up, and her voice became sweet, "The owner is in the private room, I dare not. If you were the owner, that would be great. Go have fun, make sure to enjoy yourselves."
Hearing her tone, he knew she really wanted to join them. He urged her, "I've spoken to her. Go change your clothes; I'll wait for you in the room. We agreed, we share the good times. Go on."
Sister Piao was moved close to tears, she pursed her lips and nodded sweetly with a smile.
