As the sun set, the golden-red afterglow dyed the sea and the sky in gorgeous hues. As the lanterns were lit, the heat of the day still lingered on. The streets outside the French windows gradually became more crowded.

Cao Su was sitting in front of his newly bought Apple laptop, looking up information about the live broadcast. After the group purchase war, the capital market was basically clear: Mobile Internet! Of course, he chose to stand in the wind first.

He watched female streamers at the forefront of various live broadcast platforms every day and was very familiar with the live broadcast industry.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Cao Su went to open the door and found his personal attendant, Xia Ya, pushing a dining cart to bring him dinner. The dignified and elegant beauty stood at the door and smiled. “Mr. Cao, I brought you dinner.”

He had called fifteen minutes ago to order dinner.

In the afternoon, he and Chang Ya, a partner of Jincheng Enterprise Management Consulting Co. Ltd, a headhunting company, had a meeting downstairs to discuss recruitment matters.

Jincheng was tasked to help him find several administrative assistants. They had to be female, below 30 years of age and had graduated from a first-tier university with an annual salary of 2 million.

They were also required to help him hire a general manager who had live broadcasting experience. The requirement was to have more than five years of experience in the live-streaming industry and be under 45 years old. If there were suitable candidates, the conditions could be negotiated. An annual salary of 90 million would be offered.

These two positions required him to arrive as soon as possible. He would pay 25% of the annual salary of each position to Jincheng as a commission for the headhunter.

Both parties signed the contract on the spot. It was already 7:30 p.m. when they were done. He planned to have a casual dinner before going to the White Maple Bar to talk to Shen Mingze’s friends about Yu Ping.

Cao Su smiled and let Xia Ya, the well-rounded beauty, in. He walked to the sofa and picked up his briefcase. He took out two hundred dollar bills and handed them to her. “Thank you for your hard work.”

Xia Ya hesitated for a moment and accepted the tip from the customer again. She took out the ramen and exquisite dishes for dinner. She placed the sauced oyster on the dining table and said intimately, “President Cao, is your dinner that simple?”

Cao Su sat at the dining table and picked up the bowl of ramen with his chopsticks. He smiled and said, “I have something to do later. Please arrange a car for me as I’m going somewhere.”

“Alright.” Xia Ya agreed quickly. She walked to the living room in her high heels and made arrangements on a walkie-talkie.

Cao Su admired her curves that popped through her suit uniform. He heard that this kind of slightly plump beauty felt very good. Cough, cough. As the saying goes, when one is full and warm, one would think about something. Thinking of this made him feel a little dizzy.

How should he put it? He was a single man. After receiving the Divine Tycoon System, he knew that he was a layman who wanted to live a life of luxury. Confucius said: Food and sex are human nature! Moreover, in peaceful times, didn’t men’s sense of conquest manifest in beautiful women?

However, he did not want to make himself too sleazy and low-class.

‘I’m a tiger that sniffs roses, not a cow that chews on peonies!’

Therefore, when he met Su Qing, a goddess-like beauty, he did not go up to greet her. At this moment, facing the voluptuous beauty Xia Ya, he was tempted, but he would not directly spend money to accompany her.

It had to be a matter of mutual consent, right?

The places where they could spend money and have fun were bars, clubs, and other places!

After dinner, Cao Su took a car to the White Maple Bar.

Shen Mingze and his good friend Tang Run, who went to the bar with him, arrived at the White Maple Bar just after 8:30 p.m. that Friday night.

It was a little early to be at the bar. However, they did not come to drink or watch the show.

He took a table with a bar salesperson he was familiar with and ordered a few bottles of beer. It would cost 688 yuan to meet the low consumption on a Friday. The two of them sat at the table and drank their brew, sizing up the women in the bar and commenting about them together.

On the way here, Shen Mingze had mentioned to Tang Run about Cao Su’s treat tonight. “Brother Run, you know about Brother Cao’s matter.”

Tang Run was a handsome young man. He was 25 years old this year, the same age as Shen Mingze. He smiled and said, “We should have some fun. He doesn’t need to treat us.”

He and Yu Ping had indeed gone on a few dates. And Cao Su wanted dirt on her. How hilarious! How could he sell his friends for benefits? Would he still be able to survive?

Shen Mingze smiled and nodded.

To be honest, he was closer to Tang Run. Tang Run was very handsome, the kind that could debut as a male celebrity. Every time he went to the bar, women would take the initiative to flirt with him. While he ate seafood, he would get to pick up the leftovers.

“Brother Run, that girl in the white dress at nine o’clock is the best. Her fair legs are so sexy.” Shen Mingze found his target. With a restless heart, he took the initiative to attack.

Chatting up to people was nothing after doing it too many times, not to mention in a place like a bar! His most impressive achievement was when he once held a bottle of Perrier mineral water and successfully struck up a conversation with a rich and beautiful woman who drove a Maserati.

Tang Run looked over. About three to five meters away, a tall beauty in a white dress was sitting quietly at the table and scrolling through her phone. Her face was exquisite, and she had light makeup on. The white dress with straps revealed her exquisite collarbones and jade-like shoulders.

Her curves were graceful, her waist was slender, and her long white legs were slanted under her short skirt. They were thin and straight. Who in the bar could resist such a cool outfit and sexy style?

Tang Run was experienced and knew that this was a high-ranking beauty. A beauty of this level would be given a seat and drinks in any bar. The more beautiful women there were, the more customers they would attract.

It was mutually beneficial.

Since she could sit quietly and play with her phone, it meant that she had a lot of influence. She wasn’t something that the bar sales and manager could command.

Shen Mingze definitely wouldn’t be able to seduce her. He probably couldn’t go either. Moreover, his style was to “wait for the rabbit.”

Ignoring the failure of his cowardly friend, Tang Run had just taken a sip of wine when a charming young woman walked towards him.

Tang Run smiled.

The music in the bar pumped, the lasers spun, and the youth and hormones raged.

A silver-gray Bentley slowly stopped at the entrance of the White Maple Bar. Cao Su got out of the car with his newly bought LV handbag.

Inside the handbag was a mobile phone, bank cards, ID cards, and cash.

The entrance of the White Maple Bar was an arched door. The security measures first scanned the bags carried by the guests. Then, a salesperson waiting for the order came to entertain him.

Cao Su had an ordinary appearance. His hair was neat and he was cleanly shaved. He looked calmed and reserved. A 23-year-old salesman came up to him and bowed slightly. He stretched out his hand and said, “Sir, please come in!”

The customers who came to the bar to play would know whether they were rich or not in the eyes of these salesmen. Cao Su’s casual shirt from Connelly and LV bag proved nothing. Many people could afford this luxury item.

However, the Vacheron Constantin on his wrist was not something ordinary middle-class people could afford. The thickness of his wallet was definitely enough to support a night’s worth of alcohol consumption of about 100,000 yuan.

How could a bar salesperson not be attentive?

Cao Su nodded and calmly followed the salesperson into the bar with sound and light effects. His heart no longer had the superficial and uneasy feeling of entering the bar in the past.

Of course, he had come to the bar at his age. However, when he came to the bar and saw the sexy and beautiful girls fighting for the seat of the rich young masters and wealthy guests with burning eyes, he lost interest in the bar.

If you didn’t have money, then you had better speak out.

The environment in the bar would magnify the worship of money in the depths of people’s hearts, and the hierarchy would be strict. With money, you can enjoy freely and comfortably. It was a kind of enjoyment on its own. If you didn’t have money, now that would be another experience.

The salesperson led the way in front and said eagerly, “Sir, what do you fancy tonight? Will it be a private room or a booth?”

“Pick the best booth,” Cao Su casually said.

If he wanted to experience and enjoy the pleasure of being drunk in cash, of course he would go to a booth. Going to a luxurious and super private room on the contrary, had no such atmosphere.

Besides, he still had things to do tonight. Shen Mingze was quite capable. He sent him a WeChat message after arriving at the White Maple Bar. However, Cao Su was not in a hurry to find them!

He had to set up the stage before appearing.

“Alright.” Sir, this way, please. We still have one of our best two booths available tonight.”

In the noisy, lively, crowded bar that was filled with alcohol and excitement, Cao Su walked quietly.

No one recognized him yet.
