”Hello, is this Miss Su Wanqing?”
Su Wanqing’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked worriedly, “Has something happened to my sister?”
”Miss Su Wanhong is fine, it’s just…” She paused for a moment before continuing, “It’s just that your hospitalization fees expire next week. Could you come over and settle the full payment whenever you have the time?”
Hearing that her sister was okay, Su Wanqing finally felt relieved, but the mention of the fees brought back her anxiety.
”I understand. As soon as I raise the money, I’ll head over immediately!”
After hanging up, Su Wanqing knew she had no time for moping. Her sister needed money for treatment. Just the thought of her sister, at such a blooming age, only being able to lie in a cold hospital bed made her heart twist with pain.
After a busy day, Su Wanqing finally landed a job as a waitress in a bar.
During the interview, she mentioned her past as the top star of Meise. The interviewer’s expression flickered, looking somewhat surprised.
The wait for the result felt like an eternity. She was still worried that this bar might also kick her out because of the Jian Group’s power.
But the result was unexpected—the manager said she could stay.
Presumably, the owner here had some status and actually dared to stand up against Jian Ou. She didn’t think too much of it, though; right now, she just wanted to earn money for her sister’s medical bills.
Unlike a quiet lounge, this place was a bit of a mixed bag with all sorts of characters, but it was quite famous in Luocheng.
Su Wanqing had been a bit concerned at first, but since the owner offered a high salary, she hesitated for a while before finally agreeing.
Currently, she needed money, and she had long ceased to be the high-and-mighty eldest miss of the Su family.
Su Wanqing went to work at the bar the very next day. Much to her helplessness, the female work uniform was a bunny girl outfit.
There was basically nothing underneath, just fishnet stockings covering her sexy, long legs. Between those and the bunny ears, she felt incredibly awkward, and the top felt like she was wearing almost nothing at all.
Su Wanqing was naturally alluring to begin with, and now, dressed in this outfit, she drew even more male gazes toward her.
She wasn’t used to it. Although she had worn similar things at Meise, this was the first time she had worn something quite this revealing.
The bar manager froze for a second when he saw Su Wanqing. He could tell she was a beauty, but he hadn’t expected her to be this stunning.
Then again, as the top star of Meise, she ought to be a real head-turner.
Being stared at made Su Wanqing a bit embarrassed, and her face flushed instantly. This look only made the men even more restless.
The manager snapped out of it, surprised that after years in the nightlife scene, he was actually captivated by such a young girl.
”Alright, we have an important guest at the bar today.” His gaze wandered over the waitresses’ faces before finally landing on Su Wanqing.
”Su Wanqing, you go and serve them today!”
A woman standing nearby immediately frowned. “Manager, she’s still a newcomer. If she upsets the client, who’s going to take responsibility?!”
The manager pondered for a moment, then, as if having made up his mind, patted her shoulder and said, “You were the top star of Meise; you should be able to handle this kind of scene.”
The woman bit her lip, gave Su Wanqing a look of disgust, and said coldly, “Follow me!”
Su Wanqing could tell the woman disliked her, but for the sake of the job, she had to keep her head down.
On the way to the private booth, the woman kept lecturing her, telling her to be careful and that if something went wrong, she wouldn’t protect her.
Su Wanqing was very well-behaved along the way. It seemed the person in the booth was truly someone not to be trifled with.
She pushed the door open gently. The immediate smell of mixed tobacco and alcohol made Su Wanqing’s stomach churn. She suppressed the urge to gag and followed the woman inside.
”President Jian, it is truly our company’s honor that you fancy our designs. Please drink to your heart’s content today—the drinks are on me!” A middle-aged man’s flattering voice rang out in the booth.
Upon hearing “President Jian,” alarm bells immediately went off in Su Wanqing’s head. It couldn’t be Jian Ou, right? There were so many people with the surname Jian in this world.
But when Su Wanqing lifted her head and saw that sharp, chiseled face, she froze instantly.
In the dimly lit booth, Jian Ou sat with his legs crossed, leaning lazily against the sofa. His tie was slightly loosened, revealing his sexy collarbones. Sitting there, he looked like an emperor looking down on the world.
Several women in heavy makeup were nestled in his arms. Su Wanqing’s heart ached, and she silently tried to hide herself.
Jian Ou hadn’t noticed Su Wanqing yet, as he was still exchanging pleasantries with the middle-aged man.
Su Wanqing kept her head low, trying to minimize her presence, hoping Jian Ou wouldn’t notice her.
But no matter how low-profile she tried to be, she was still spotted. The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Su Wanqing.
”This one looks quite unfamiliar. A newcomer?”
As soon as those words landed, Su Wanqing felt an intense pressure crashing down on her. She knew—Jian Ou had spotted her.
She nodded. “Yes, I am new!”
”She’s quite good-looking, don’t you think, President Jian?”
From the moment he discovered her, Jian Ou’s face turned so dark it looked like it could drip ink, and his voice was icy enough to form frost. “Lift your head. Let me see!”
Su Wanqing clenched her hands, but she didn’t move.
The woman standing beside her nudged her hand and warned in a low voice, “He’s talking to you! I’m telling you, you’d better not pull any stunts, or even the manager won’t be able to help you!”
