Chapter Eleven: The Intractable Enemy of Corruption

  The white Audi car door opened, Wang Jinhua smiled and walked down to pull over Sang Hong's hand and patted it, taking out a card from her bag and putting it in her hand:

  "Alright, there's 200,000 yuan in this card. The password is six 8s. If you take it, then you'll have to listen to Auntie from now on."

  Xiang Hong took it over, politely thanked: "Wang Auntie, I don't know how much trouble I've caused you all these years. This kindness I remember, you tell me what to do and I'll listen to you. However, this college entrance exam is something I must participate in."

  Wang Jinhua burst out laughing: "How come you two have such expressions, Auntie won't bear to harm you."

  "That's good, that's good. Honghong, you must listen to me. Daddy will take out the money and send Mom to the hospital for surgery. I will take care of Mom."

  Sang Dawei accompanied Sang Hong with a bitter smile like an empty shell.

  Xiang Hong put the card in her hand into her father's hand and said: "Dad, take Mom to the hospital now, the sooner the better."

  ……

  "Auntie will take you to a place, what you do there is up to you. There are many girls there, it's not a place where just anyone can go. You have to behave well, and if you're selected, I'll send the 100,000 yuan to your dad as soon as possible."

  "Being chosen, is it to participate in a talent show? I'm afraid I won't be good at it." San Hong was somewhat worried, after all the 100,000 yuan that followed was too important.

  "It's almost the same, haha, you need to think more. Wang Jinhua didn't say anything else, but gave her a few more hundred yuan notes, "That place is far away, and it may take a taxi to get there, so take this first."

  Xiang Hong didn't decline either, and accepted it: "Aunt Wang, I will work hard. However, whether or not I get selected, the money you lent to my family will be paid back one way or another."

  "Auntie knows that we value loyalty and keep our promises, don't worry, I left a message for your father earlier, my words are always reliable." Wang Jin Hua had an ulterior motive.

  Xiang Hong understood her meaning and secretly made up her mind to strive for being selected, no matter what the consequences were. Mom's surgery fee was more important than anything else.

  The car stopped halfway, and Wang Ayi took her to a specialty store next door to buy a pink and blue floral skirt, and also paired it with a pair of white low-heeled princess shoes. Only then did she nod in satisfaction, and handed her a large bread: "Although there will be delicious food later, but first fill up the bottom, don't get hungry and lose your composure."

  They rushed all the way to a mountain villa with bright lights in the suburbs - Flowing Light Fragrance, Sang Hong followed Wang Jinhua. Along the way, they saw small bridges and flowing water, ancient colors and fragrances, and the sound of guqin playing, the melody was as ethereal as the immortal mountains and pavilions.

  At the entrance of the restaurant, Zhang Pangzi had been waiting there for a while.

  Wang Jinhua looked from afar and patted Sang Hong's hand, solemnly saying: "Hong, to be honest with you, Auntie may seem like a wealthy person, but her social status can't even get an invitation to enter. Inside are all the high-level people in our city's business circle. This time, they're selecting a few girls to entertain a high-ranking official who is coming from above. It's said that this person has a prestigious background and is extremely young, not yet thirty years old, and still single. Auntie has put in a lot of effort to help you get this opportunity, the rest depends on you."

  Xiang Hong's head was dizzy for a moment, entertaining an official who came from above, how to entertain?

  These doubts had never been expressed when Wang Jinhua had already sent her to Zhang Baozi's side, waving his hand and leaving.

  Zhang Pangzi hurriedly urged her to quicken her pace, and she followed him in a daze.

  Many people were already dining in the restaurant, all of whom were young girls in uniform, accompanied by pot-bellied bosses.

  Qin Luoshui sat in a large, luxurious semi-open room directly opposite the main hall, surrounded by a group of charming beauties, offering wine and cigarettes, serving dishes and pouring water, left and right embracing, enjoying himself to the envy of others.

  No one noticed the dimness that couldn't be hidden in his eyes, and his gaze would occasionally drift towards the restaurant door, with disappointment after disappointment, he couldn't express what was in his heart.

  Disheartened or relieved.

  Is he thinking of that girl?

  Damn it's so eerie, if you think about it then just think about it, why expect her to appear here too.

  As expected, seeing the familiar fat Zhang next to that slender figure, he felt a thrill in his heart, and puzzled, he raised his hand to touch his pounding heart room. Could it be that these days of being busy without time to relieve himself had caused an overactive secretion of hormones in his body? Was this kind of firewood girl really able to excite him?

  Zhang Pangzi came in with a gaze like radar, scanning Qin Luoshui everywhere. When he saw him looking over here, he immediately opened his big mouth and led Sang Hong to run over and greet him.

  Xiang Hong looked at the young girls in the hall, all wearing extremely cool dresses or skirts. She then lowered her head to look at her own inconspicuous but durable floral skirt. The girls were all vain, and this casual maintenance made her feel touched by Wang Yi's thoughtfulness.

  "Older brother, we just arrived, come over and say hello." Zhang Baozi nodded and bowed.

  Qin Luoshui glanced at them lightly, seeming to smile but not quite, and flicked a glance at Sang Hong's slightly tense face. He casually pointed to the elegant seats beside him: "You all sit over there, have something to eat first, then we'll talk."

  Xiang Hong glanced around at the people constantly coming over to greet them, and realized that this was obviously Qin Luoshui's domain. She forced a smile and gave him a sweet smile, then followed Zhang Baozi to take a seat.

  Sitting at the table, under Zhang Baozi's enthusiastic blowing, Sang Hong finally understood what it meant to enjoy oneself. Although her face seemed careless, in fact, she was secretly sighing with emotion.

  My eyes aren't enough to take it all in, this place is built too luxuriously; the exquisite plates are actually top-quality Qinghua porcelain worth hundreds of yuan per set; a place where you need to make an appointment a week in advance just to get a seat, and they've suspended business for ten days for this event. Good heavens, the key point is that such a large enterprise is actually Qin Luoshui's asset.

  In the semi-open private room, two classical beauties wearing improved cheongsam dresses in cyan color were serving dishes and standing by her side, washing and wiping her hands, putting plates and picking dishes, and the excitement mixed with guilt suddenly arose.

  "How's this place, it's good, right? You'll be having specialized training here for ten days, with good food and accommodations, without spending a single penny. Tsk, tsk, if you can show your face, from now on, there will be plenty of people to support your luxurious lifestyle."

  Zhang Pangzi naturally saw San Hong's complicated emotions and repeatedly comforted her.

  Xiang Hong didn't know whether to despise him or herself, with complicated emotions, and was too lazy to respond.

  After dinner, Qin Luoshui said a few words and the men all dispersed, leaving the girls to be divided into groups to receive their room numbers, and of course there were special service personnel to arrange for them.

  The training content is extremely extensive, covering all the skills of professional service personnel, from small actions such as serving tea and water, to big ones like golf, table tennis, Go, synchronized swimming, dancing, etc. Whatever they learn, it's a competition every day, and there are girls who cry and leave after being eliminated every day.

  Although Shang Hong is very enthusiastic about learning and has a natural talent for it, she is also extremely busy.

  She also took time off to visit her mother and brought back some college entrance examination prediction papers, which she did in the evening, making her even more tired.

  Fortunately, her mother's surgery went smoothly. She had never had an easy life before, but now she was being well taken care of, eating and drinking well, with no worries in her mind. Her little face looked more radiant and lovely than ever.

  Tonight, Sang Hong washed away the sweat and carefully looked in the mirror, couldn't help but sigh - corrupted, this corrupt taste is quite hard to resist.
