Chapter 97

Always wanting to do something, but always at the last moment, when someone shouts, Xiao Daoguan would lose his nerve! A typical case of having the desire but not the courage! After being kicked out by Chen Shuyuan, although Xiao Sheng had a playful smile on his face, he had already despised himself hundreds of times. When a woman says no, should he be a bit bolder? Maybe the effect would be surprisingly good, or maybe the result would add a 'Five-Finger Mountain' to Xiao Sheng's face.

Perhaps influenced by Xiao Sheng's 'lecherous' behavior, during the subsequent beauty treatment, Chen Shuyuan was no longer as calm as at the beginning, and she kept urging the beautician to hurry up! Xiao Sheng, who had been lying on the sofa and peeking through the door, always had that unsettling smile on his face!

Arriving at the beauty salon around 10:30, they didn't come out until around 2:00 PM, even with Chen Shuyuan's constant urging! Although he ate some snacks at noon, the amount was pitifully small. Although the VIPs and their companions could eat freely, Xiao Sheng, being a man of dignity, felt a bit embarrassed after the third time when the front desk girl gave him a 'suspicious' look. If it weren't for Chen Shuyuan, Xiao Sheng wouldn't have cared about such looks, but now it was different; he had to consider her feelings!

When it came to paying the bill, Xiao Sheng realized what it meant for money to be time. Several thousand yuan in just a few hours, and that was after a discount! Wasn't this like being bled dry?

Due to Xiao Sheng's despicable behavior earlier, Chen Shuyuan didn't speak to him at all while he was driving to the Crystal Palace Club, reverting to her usual cold and beautiful demeanor. However, the occasional eye contact between them revealed something to Xiao Sheng, but he didn't point it out. Some things, if the 'employer' doesn't speak up, it's not good for a subordinate to take the initiative. Being 'half-reluctant, half-willing' is more comfortable for everyone. The same action, whether initiated or requested, has a very different meaning.

As Xiao Sheng observed, the reason Chen Shuyuan was cold-faced was also because she was still thinking about the opening of Chengran International, which was causing her a lot of distress! She wanted to discuss it with Xiao Sheng several times, but thinking of his behavior today, she suppressed the impulse.

The Crystal Palace Club, located in the western suburbs of Harbor City, is a top-tier private club in Harbor City, not open to the public. Only those with a club membership card, usually big shots, are eligible to enter, and all expenses here are free! Such a generous gesture is something ordinary people can't afford, but those who can enter here are all big shots who can shake Harbor City or even Jiangsu Province with a single step.

The owner of this club is the legendary Bai family of Harbor City! Starting with the rich crystal mines in the eastern county of Harbor City, the Bai family, after two generations of joint development, has become one of the most prestigious families in Harbor City and even Jiangsu Province, with their family businesses spread across various cities in Jiangsu Province, involving multiple industries! With the recent national regulation of crystal mines, the Bai family has shifted their focus to southern Jiangsu, while the main family in Harbor City is managed by a second-generation strong woman, Bai Jing, who has excellent social skills! The ladies' tea party Chen Shuyuan attended today was at her invitation!

When Xiao Sheng drove Chen Shuyuan to the Crystal Palace Club, it was already around 3:00 PM! After parking the car, the doorman at the entrance immediately ran down the steps to open the car door for Chen Shuyuan! Chen Shuyuan seemed to be a regular here. After she got out of the car, a middle-aged woman who looked like a manager came forward to greet her. When she saw Chen Shuyuan entering the club with Xiao Sheng, her face showed a slight surprise, but it quickly disappeared, and she still smiled professionally, bowing to lead the two inside.

The club, with its mountain and water surroundings and modern European-style decor, looked grand and elegant. As soon as the two entered the hall, Xiao Sheng, who was following Chen Shuyuan, saw a woman in her early thirties, still charming, walking towards Chen Shuyuan. Her smile was extremely alluring, exuding the charm of a mature woman! Especially her chest, which was half-covered, rose and fell with her graceful steps, making Xiao Sheng worry that it might pop out. Her seductive red lips, high nose, and captivating phoenix eyes made her a magnet for all the 'unshaven beasts' wherever she went!

"Hey, Shuyuan? The sun must be rising in the west today. Who is this young man? Could it be..." As soon as they met, this alluring woman gave Chen Shuyuan a 'welcome challenge,' staring at her with a warm, suggestive smile, occasionally glancing at Xiao Sheng, who stood there calmly.

Chen Shuyuan's expression became a bit unnatural, and she replied softly:

"Sister Bai, this is my assistant..."

No need to say, this straightforward, alluring woman is the second-generation strong woman of the Bai family, known as 'Second Sister Bai' among the upper echelons, Bai Jing!

"Oh, everyone is into 'god brothers' and 'god sisters' these days. President Chen, you are really ahead of the fashion! Assistant, close, all the time, right..."

Faced with such blatant teasing, Chen Shuyuan's cheeks couldn't help but turn a bit red. The redness caught Bai Jing's eye, making her quite surprised.

"Girl, you can't be serious. Look at you, you look like a young girl in love..."

The more she talked, the more outrageous it became, leaving Chen Shuyuan at a loss for words.

"I wish, but my boss doesn't give me such an opportunity. Let me introduce myself, Xiao Sheng, the personal bodyguard and assistant of Chairman Chen Shuyuan, just close, not for warmth..."

"Ah? Hehe..." Upon hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Bai Jing, standing opposite Chen Shuyuan, laughed heartily, her laughter making her even more charming. At this moment, Chen Shuyuan turned to glare at the 'unrestrained' Xiao Sheng, wishing she could tear him apart!

Bai Jing's soft hand lightly shook Xiao Sheng's outstretched right hand, and she replied gently:

"Little brother, you are the first man Sister Shuyuan has brought out. Facing such a beautiful woman every day, you must be smiling in your sleep at night! Hehe, call me Sister Bai, you won't lose anything..."

No wonder the Bai family left her in Harbor City; her 'natural familiarity' alone is enough to make her stand out in the upper echelons of Harbor City.

"Alright, Sister Bai, can we drop the 'little' when we address each other? I'm actually quite big. Really..."

His double entendre answer made even the 'good girl' Chen Shuyuan understand the deeper meaning, let alone the alluring Bai Jing.
