Chapter 94#
The private room was on the top floor, overlooking the entire city. It was the most expensive hotel in the capital, with a nightly rate starting at six figures.
Cheng Jian called to say he would be late due to traffic. Lu Muchi was secretly annoyed, knowing that Cheng Jian was putting on airs.
The two weren’t very familiar with each other. They had met a few times at cocktail parties and events. Both played hard and were open-minded, having swapped bed partners once or twice, or maybe two or three times.
But playing was one thing; when it came to interests, that was another matter.
The Lu Group suddenly intervened, and the landscape of the electronics sector was bound to change significantly in the future. With his uncle’s tough and sharp style, Cheng Jian, from an old-brand electronics company like the Cheng family, was clearly more anxious to seek cooperation than he was, yet he insisted on putting on a leisurely posture.
Lu Muchi’s face didn’t look good. Yan Heqing knew the reason but didn’t ask. Under his calm appearance, he recalled the magnificent lobby of the Five Lakes Hotel in his mind.
People came and went, and many were checking in.
When he and Lu Muchi entered the elevator, several internet celebrities were taking photos at the crystal tree in the lobby, which cost tens of millions.
“Try the black tea.” Lu Muchi looked at him, “The quality of the black tea in this hotel is good.”
Yan Heqing didn’t move. At this moment, the door opened, and the waiter led Cheng Jian and a young man in.
Cheng Jian looked at Yan Heqing first, revealing a smile as if he had expected it.
The young man beside him looked at Lu Muchi calmly.
The young man was one of the bed partners Cheng Jian and Lu Muchi had swapped, and had a one-night stand with Lu Muchi.
Cheng Jian’s meaning in bringing him was clear: things are easier to discuss in bed.
Lu Muchi didn’t care about the young man at all. The way Cheng Jian looked at Yan Heqing made him very unhappy. He suppressed his anger and said indifferently, “President Cheng’s traffic jam was really timely.”
Cheng Jian smiled and walked over while talking, “Can’t help it, bad luck, ran into a car accident.” He called a name, “Xiao Zhou, don’t you think so?”
The young man was Xiao Zhou. He had red lips and white teeth, and his smile had a non-greasy sweetness, “Yes, President Lu, but it’s really wrong to keep you waiting for a long time. I’ll punish myself with three cups for our boss!”
There was a bottle of red wine on the table. Xiao Zhou poured three glasses directly and drank them all, revealing a beautiful neck line.
Lu Muchi waited for Xiao Zhou to finish drinking before saying slowly, “Not at all, we just arrived not long ago too.”
Cheng Jian’s gaze turned to Yan Heqing again.
Cheng Jian was open to both men and women and never forgot a beauty. Last time he visited Lu Muchi in the hospital, he remembered Yan Heqing. Cold and noble, the more like this, the more flavorful in bed.
He was secretly delighted. It seemed that Lu Muchi and he had thought of the same thing again, using the honey trap. He had to say that the bed partner Lu Muchi brought this time suited his taste very well. He asked quite gentlemanly, “This is?”
“My company intern.” Lu Muchi laughed, “Bringing him to see the world.”
Cheng Jian only thought Lu Muchi was playing hard to get, which was indeed effective. He was already imagining what kind of ecstatic moans this cold beauty would make in bed.
But no rush, the night was still long.
He lifted his foot and suggestively extended it towards Yan Heqing. After extending for a long time without touching anything, he was puzzled. He deliberately knocked something over and lowered his head. Just as he bent down, he heard the sound of a chair being pulled back, followed by a clear voice, “I’m going to the restroom.”
Cheng Jian’s breath hitched instantly.
The voice was even more seductive than he imagined.
He calmly picked up the napkin and got up, just in time to see Yan Heqing’s profile leaving.
Pouring a glass of wine, Cheng Jian winked at Xiao Zhou. Xiao Zhou picked up the wine glass, got up and walked to Lu Muchi, bending over to offer the wine, “President Lu, I drank three glasses, this one is for you.”
At the same time, Cheng Jian got up, “You guys chat, I’ll go take a call.”
Leaving the private room, Cheng Jian walked quickly towards the restroom.
At the other end of the corridor, Yan Heqing stood at the corner, calmly watching Cheng Jian walk away, and then followed.
Cheng Jian couldn’t wait to chase to the restroom. In the quiet restroom full of perfume smell, the doors of the four compartments were ajar. He went over suspiciously, checking one by one. Reaching the fourth compartment, a voice sounded behind him, “What are you doing?”
Cheng Jian turned around abruptly and saw Yan Heqing walking into the restroom and washing his hands at the sink.
The lights in the restroom were also expensive crystal lamps. The orange light fell on Yan Heqing’s side face. Cheng Jian’s heart itched. He smiled and walked over, “Coming to the restroom, naturally to solve physiological problems, you…”
Reaching the sink, he supported himself on the counter with one hand, looking at Yan Heqing with a naked gaze, “Haven’t asked yet, what’s your name?”
Yan Heqing looked calm, “A nobody, you don’t need to know.”
“Modest.” Cheng Jian made a pun, “Anyone who can catch President Lu’s eye is a dragon or phoenix among people.”
Time was about right. Yan Heqing withdrew his hand, and the automatic sensor faucet stopped. In the quiet space, footsteps were faintly approaching. Yan Heqing pulled out a paper towel to wipe his hands. Almost the next second, Lu Muchi entered the restroom.
Lu Muchi was suspicious. Yan Heqing went to the restroom, and Cheng Jian went to take a call. He always felt something was wrong. Plus, with the look Cheng Jian gave Yan Heqing when entering the private room, he was worried and came to the restroom to check.
Sure enough—
Cheng Jian was in the restroom.
“President Cheng took a call all the way to the restroom.” Lu Muchi frowned, already very displeased.
Cheng Jian didn’t know yet. He wished he could carry Yan Heqing to the guest room immediately. But it was inconvenient to speak too bluntly. He didn’t want Lu Muchi to take advantage of him on the contract, so he hinted: “Can’t help it. After the call, I needed to go. Didn’t expect to run into President Lu’s intern, so I wanted to chat with him a bit more.”
Just as Lu Muchi was about to speak, a man came in. Yan Heqing also dried his hands and walked out. Lu Muchi clenched his hands, temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction, turned around and followed.
Cheng Jian looked at Yan Heqing’s back and went out after a few seconds.
As soon as they left, the man who entered the restroom made a call and reported the situation just now to Lu Lin, “Rest assured, the young man is in a very safe situation.”
Lu Lin lowered the car window and looked at the highest floor of the Five Lakes Hotel.
…
Yan Heqing returned to the private room first, followed by Lu Muchi and Cheng Jian.
The dishes had already been served. The table was full of delicacies from land and sea. The waiter poured the wine. Cheng Jian raised his glass to toast Yan Heqing, smiling cynically, “Intern, for every glass of wine you drink, I agree to change one word in the contract.”
As soon as he said this, Lu Muchi’s anger just now burst out. Just as he was about to explode, he saw Yan Heqing waving his hand at him under the table.
Then, Yan Heqing took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Lu Muchi was dumbfounded. His heart pounded, and he had mixed feelings for a moment. He never expected that Yan Heqing would go to this extent for him…
Being coveted by trash like Cheng Jian, Yan Heqing must be disgusted, yet he was willing to compromise for him and endure such humiliation.
Lu Muchi’s mood was extremely complicated.
After a glass of wine, Yan Heqing’s face was already flushed. Cheng Jian was overjoyed and poured another glass.
Knock knock.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, and a waiter came in with a fruit platter.
Xiao Zhou had been invisible, and only spoke now, “The fruit platter has been served.”
The waiter carried the fruit platter towards Yan Heqing and placed it in front of him. It was a plate of large and fresh blueberries. She explained with a smile, “It’s a free gift from the hotel, hoping the VIP enjoys the meal.”
The waiter retreated again, closed the private room door, ran quickly to the fire escape, took out her phone and made a call, “That young gentleman seems to be drunk.”
Lu Lin asked: “What kind of wine?”
“Red wine.”
Lu Lin was relieved. Yan Heqing’s diversion. He asked another thing, “Was the fruit platter placed in front of him?”
“Yes, the best blueberry kings were selected.”
…
Yan Heqing didn’t touch the table full of delicacies, only eating the blueberries in front of him.
He kept stopping Lu Muchi from exploding and accepted all of Cheng Jian’s toasts.
A glass of red wine in two or three sips, plus the low alcohol content, the redder his face became, the calmer his mind became.
By the end of the meal, 8 words in the contract were changed. Cheng Jian’s face was particularly ugly. Although he wanted to hug the beauty, changing 8 words in the contract meant the Cheng family would earn tens of billions less.
Cheng Jian quickly pretended to be drunk and left first.
Lu Muchi didn’t care about the contract at all now. Fuck the contract! He looked deeply at Yan Heqing, “Why did you stop me?”
Yan Heqing looked up. His face was flushed, but his eyes were clear as water, “Isn’t this your purpose?”
Lu Muchi was stunned, “My purpose?”
“You and that thing.” Yan Heqing said calmly, “Don’t you often trade people like this? But this time you failed. He couldn’t afford to lose and ran away.”
Lu Muchi’s face turned black, and he turned and left.
Tens of billions are nothing!
He wanted to beat Cheng Jian in the restroom, and now even more so. He wanted to make Cheng Jian regret being born with those two hands that dared to pour eight glasses of wine!
Lu Muchi took another elevator to chase down. Just as Cheng Jian arrived at the lobby, he was kicked to the ground.
Cheng Jian fell to the ground in a dog-crawling posture, making a heavy thud. Blood immediately flowed from his nose. People around were frightened by this sudden scene.
Xiao Zhou looked back first. Seeing it was Lu Muchi, he immediately took back his words of accusation and cleverly ran to the side to hide.
The lobby manager hurried forward. Lu Muchi said coldly, “Whoever dares to stop me will end up like him.”
The lobby manager knew these two rich kids, stopped abruptly, put his hands behind his back, and asked the receptionist to call the police quickly.
Lu Muchi still had difficulty moving one hand and one foot, but he was unambiguous in grabbing Cheng Jian and beating him up, directly dislocating Cheng Jian’s hands first.
Yan Heqing came out of the elevator and just heard Cheng Jian’s extremely miserable scream.
Many people in the lobby were holding up their phones to film.
Yan Heqing looked calm and left from behind the crowd.
Walking out of the revolving door, isolating the noise in the lobby, Yan Heqing didn’t take a taxi but walked slowly.
Outside, the traffic was heavy, a scene of ordinary yet extraordinary human life.
Yan Heqing walked forward along the sidewalk, not noticing a tall figure following him not far behind.
Passing an intersection, there was a roasted sweet potato stall.
The tempting sweetness wafted in the air. Yan Heqing’s nose twitched slightly. He changed direction and bought a roasted sweet potato.
Peeling it open with expectation and taking a bite, the texture was dry and full of fibers.
Much worse than the sweet potato roasted by Lu Lin.
Yan Heqing finished the sweet potato and threw the skin into the trash can. He stopped and looked at the flashing neon lights on the street for a while. He revealed a relaxed smile, took out his phone, and called Lu Lin.
The call was connected quickly, and the man’s voice carried a smile.
“Things are handled.”
Yan Heqing walked slowly, the corners of his mouth always curved, “Mn.”
Yan Heqing slowed down, and Lu Lin also slowed down, his eyes full of smiles, “So happy, seems like it was handled very well.”
“Mn.” Yan Heqing stopped suddenly.
Lu Lin stopped with him.
“Lu Lin.” Yan Heqing called him.
“What?” Lu Lin smiled.
“I just bought a roasted sweet potato, it wasn’t very tasty.” Yan Heqing thought he might still be a little drunk, “Come and roast a good one for me.”
