Chapter 29: How much do you charge for a night?

Liu Weidong looked at her with an awkward expression.

"Let go." Lin Huiyin ordered again, mercilessly.

Liu Weidong's anger rose, and he couldn't help but want to slap her.

What does this woman think I am? A goddess?

To dare make me lose face in front of so many people, she really has no sense of self-preservation.

But after seeing her piercing gaze, he wisely let go of her hand.

Bai Su, worried about the awkward atmosphere, quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Young Master Liu, you know, Huiyin doesn't like physical contact. If I hold her hand for more than a minute, she'll give me a cold shoulder."

"Haha. This shows that Miss Huiyin is very particular about herself. It's a good habit." Liu Weidong found a way to save face, and his expression improved.

"That's true. Young Master Liu, why don't you greet Tang Xin?" Bai Su, thinking of changing the topic, pushed Tang Zhong, who was standing silently behind her, forward.

"Miss Tang Xin," the man walked up to Tang Zhong, shook his hand, and said, "To be honest, I don't think you suit the androgynous style. If you wear women's clothes, you would be the most charming woman. I think Manager Bai should consider my suggestion."

"I can't make that decision." Bai Su replied evasively.

"Why isn't Miss Tang Xin speaking? She doesn't look well." Liu Weidong looked at Tang Zhong with a puzzled expression.

"Young Master Liu, Tang Xin strained her vocal cords while practicing. Speaking causes her throat to hurt. The doctor said the best way for her to recover quickly is to not speak for now." Bai Su explained why Tang Zhong couldn't speak.

"Strained vocal cords?" Liu Weidong looked at Tang Zhong with concern. "Is it serious? I know some internationally renowned rehabilitation doctors. Would you like them to come and take a look?"

"No need." Bai Su declined Liu Weidong's offer. "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Liu. Tang Xin has already seen a doctor, who said it's not serious and just needs some rest. The only regret is that you won't be able to hear Tang Xin sing for a while."

"That's good to hear." Liu Weidong said. "Please come in. Standing here with such beautiful women at the hotel entrance is too much pressure. I'm afraid the reporters will come to take photos in a few minutes."

"Maybe they'll use a headline like 'Tang Xin's Mysterious Boyfriend Exposed, Turns Out to Be MIFU Group Heir'" Bai Su deliberately tried to annoy Tang Zhong, speaking in a joking tone.

Sure enough, Tang Zhong, upon hearing this, wanted to pull down her underwear and spank her.

"Since that's the case," Liu Weidong looked at Tang Zhong and said with a smile, "I'd be happy to stand here for a few more minutes."

Liu Weidong was an extremely skilled socialite, smooth and charming, making people feel at ease when interacting with him.

If not for the fleeting glimpse of his violent nature, Tang Zhong would have liked him.

Under Liu Weidong's guidance, they arrived at the 'Queen Hall' that Liu Mingwei had reserved in advance.

Seeing Bai Su bring the Butterfly Group in, Liu Mingwei quickly stood up to greet them, shaking Bai Su's hand with a smile and saying, "Thank you, Manager Bai, for coming. I couldn't come down to greet you personally, so please bear with me."

"Mr. Liu, you're too polite. Young Master Liu standing at the hotel entrance to greet us is already a great honor." Bai Su handled such situations with ease.

Liu Mingwei then shook hands with Lin Huiyin and Zhang Heben, saying some auspicious words.

When he shook Tang Zhong's hand, he said with a smile, "Miss Tang Xin, it's nice to see you again. I'm very sorry about what happened last time. We didn't expect it to happen and caused you so much trouble. I feel very guilty. Today, I called Manager Bai and insisted on inviting you to have a meal to express my apologies."

"Mr. Liu, Tang Xin's voice hasn't recovered yet, as you know." Bai Su said with a smile.

"Oh." Liu Mingwei nodded in understanding. "A singer's voice is their second life. It must be well protected. Well protected."

After they were seated, Liu Mingwei pointed to Liu Weidong sitting next to him and said, "You've already met my son, right? He studied in the U.S. for a few years and found a job there, saying he wanted to learn advanced management practices from Western countries. A few days ago, I called him back. Now, he will help me at MIFU. You are all young, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. Please take good care of him."

Liu Weidong, being very quick-witted, stood up and raised his wine glass, saying, "I toast to Manager Bai and the three beautiful butterflies."

After saying this, he tilted his head back and drank the red wine in his glass in one go.

Halfway through the meal, Liu Mingwei received a call. He then apologized to Bai Su, saying, "Manager Bai, I have a good friend dining in the next room. I need to go and toast him. Weidong will take care of you for a while. I'll be back soon."

Bai Su, Lin Huiyin, Zhang Heben, and Tang Zhong all stood up to see him off. Bai Su said, "Mr. Liu, you're too polite. Go ahead and take care of your business. We have Weidong to take care of us."

Once Liu Mingwei left, Liu Weidong, like a monkey freed from a spell, relaxed and became more outgoing.

He kept urging the women to drink and telling jokes to amuse them.

"Manager Bai," Liu Weidong, with a hiccup and a bit tipsy, said, "You don't know. I fell in love with Miss Lin Huiyin at first sight. Unfortunately, she's too cold. I've invited her to dinner several times, but she always refused. The gifts I sent were all returned."

Bai Su glanced at Lin Huiyin and said with a smile, "Young Master Liu, I can't help you with this. I'm just their agent and have no right to interfere in their personal lives. I hope they all find good partners. Whether you can win their hearts depends on your own abilities. My stance is neither supportive nor opposed."

Of course, an agent doesn't want her artists to be busy with love, marriage, and children, as it affects their careers. But in front of outsiders, she had to say such polite words.

"That's good." Liu Weidong nodded in satisfaction. "Two months ago, on Huiyin's birthday, I sent a pair of bracelets through someone. They weren't returned."

"Returned." Lin Huiyin said.

"Returned?" Liu Weidong looked at Lin Huiyin. "Where were they returned?"

"To Li Lu." Lin Huiyin said.

Li Lu was also a minor celebrity in the industry and was familiar with the three members of the Butterfly Group.

She was entrusted by Liu Weidong to deliver a pair of valuable jade bracelets to Lin Huiyin on her birthday.

Lin Huiyin didn't accept them and had Li Lu take them back.

Unexpectedly, Liu Weidong hadn't received the returned bracelets until now.

Liu Weidong's face turned red with embarrassment. He immediately took out his phone and called Li Lu, asking, "Did my gift not get delivered? What? No time to return it? Are you crazy? If you didn't have time to return it, why didn't you call me? Idiot."

After hanging up, Liu Weidong looked at Lin Huiyin and said, "I thought you had accepted them and was secretly rejoicing. I didn't expect to be rejected again by Miss Huiyin. Today, in front of so many people, I have to ask Miss Huiyin: What do I need to do for you to accept my feelings?"

Lin Huiyin's face was cold, and she had no interest in answering the question.

Why are these men so boring?

"Why?" Liu Weidong's face turned ugly, and he growled in a low voice.

"Young Master Liu, Huiyin has had quite a bit to drink today. Why don't you wait until she's sober to talk?" Bai Su used the 'delay' tactic again. Lin Huiyin was the only one who hadn't drunk any alcohol today. The Liu family father and son toasted, and Zhang Heben and Tang Zhong at least pretended to drink. Lin Huiyin simply refused to drink, no matter what others said.

"Shut up." Liu Weidong shouted at Bai Su. "What are you? Just because I call you 'manager,' you think you're someone? You're just a madam in the entertainment industry."

"Liu Weidong, you've gone too far." Bai Su, furious, pointed at Liu Weidong and shouted, "You must apologize to me."

"Apologize? Dream on." Rejected by Lin Huiyin, Liu Weidong completely lost his composure.

He walked to the chair next to Lin Huiyin, staring at her with a burning gaze, and said, "Why do you refuse? Do you think my wealth is too low?"

"Or, let's change the way we communicate," he said with a cold smile. "How much do you charge for a night?"

Slap.

Lin Huiyin picked up the wine glass in front of her and splashed the half-glass of red wine on Liu Weidong's face.

PS: Reader: How much do you charge for a night? Old Liu: A red ticket will do. What? You have seven? Then it can be for seven nights.
