“Ayuan, can’t we just drink by ourselves?” Han Linlin hesitated, clearly reluctant to go. It wasn’t that she disliked rich men. It was just that from what she had observed earlier, the A section tonight seemed full of greasy, middle-aged businessmen.
She liked rich men too… but they had to be young and handsome. Simply put, tall, rich, and good-looking.
“Linlin, that’s the A section. It wouldn’t hurt to meet more high-quality men,” Yun Yun said.
“Yeah, maybe they can even introduce you to a good job,” Yun Yun added.
“What job? If you get together with a rich second-generation heir, you’ll just become a young madam directly,” Xiaoxue joked.
Xiao Shao smiled and said, “Ladies, the guest at A06 is a handsome guy… young and very wealthy.”
You only needed to believe half of what promoters said. Even if the client were short and ugly, Xiao Shao would still call him handsome. Even a criminal record could be spun into a government job.
Han Linlin couldn’t resist the persuasion of the three and followed Xiao Shao to A06.
The moment they entered and saw Chen Qi, their hearts bloomed with excitement. He was genuinely handsome… and rich. The four girls’ favorability toward him all increased.
[Han Linlin favorability +5, current: 5]
Chen Qi immediately asked the earlier vibe girls to give up their seats, including Zhenni. That made Zhenni extremely unhappy.
[Which one of these can compare to me?]
[Only that “white lotus” looks decent… don’t tell me the boss likes this type?]
Chen Qi heard Zhenni’s thoughts and wanted to tell her… You’re truly beautiful, no doubt about it. It’s just that you’ve had too many relationships—it doesn’t work for me. It’s not that I prefer white lotus types… I just like anyone who’s good-looking.
Twelve bottles of Ace of Spades Champagne were placed on the table, worth over 250,000 yuan.
Lin Yuan, Yun Yun, and Xiaoxue couldn’t help taking out their phones to snap photos and shoot Douyin videos. How many times in a lifetime would they see a scene like this… unless one of them managed to latch onto a rich heir?
Only Han Linlin sat quietly to the side, looking reserved and slightly uneasy.
“Brother, why did you invite us to drink?” Lin Yuan asked. She had been to bars more often and was clearly bolder than the others. She sat on Chen Qi’s left, with Han Linlin beside her.
“Of course, because you girls are beautiful.”
“Brother, am I not pretty?” Zhenni said coquettishly.
“Pretty. You’re pretty too.”
Zhenni’s charm points were also 91, and everything about her was natural. She had a seductive charm that stirred instinctive desire in men. Han Linlin, on the other hand, was pure and gentle—a completely different style that made people want to protect her.
“Why don’t you introduce yourselves?”
“We all graduated from Donghai Normal University. We just got our diplomas yesterday,” Lin Yuan said. “I’m Lin Yuan, and these three are my roommates—Linlin, Yun Yun, and Xiaoxue.”
Lin Yuan introduced them one by one.
Her three roommates were all fairly attractive, about the same level as the vibe girls nearby. But to Chen Qi, they were just there to make up numbers.
“Linlin, let’s have a drink.”
Han Linlin was still a bit stiff, but when Chen Qi toasted her, she picked up her glass and clinked it with his.
The taste of Ace of Spades Champagne was completely different from what they had at the open seating earlier—rich fruity aroma, smooth and silky on the palate.
[This tastes way better than that watered-down Ace of Spades the fake rich guy treated us to last time.]
Lin Yuan chimed in, “This is Linlin’s first time at a bar. We’ve invited her before, but she never came. She only came out to have fun because we just graduated.”
If it weren’t for the system, Chen Qi might have believed that. There were plenty of girls in bars pretending to be innocent—without some skill, it was impossible to tell.
“What a coincidence. It’s my first time too.”
“Really? Brother has never been to Black Rose before? No wonder we’re only meeting you now,” Zhenni said.
[Seriously? So handsome and so rich… aren’t rich heirs usually very experienced?]
“I’m not a rich second-generation heir.”
“Ah?!” Han Linlin let out a soft cry.
[Can he hear what I’m thinking?]
But to others, Chen Qi’s words sounded completely different.
Zhenni squeezed closer, raising her glass. “Young Master Chen, so you’re a self-made rich first-generation? That’s amazing. Let me toast you.”
Along the southeastern coast, opportunities were everywhere. With luck, starting a company at the right time could lead to massive profits.
“Brother, I’ll toast you too,” Lin Yuan quickly added.
Though she couldn’t compare to Zhenni in looks or figure, she could tell Chen Qi wasn’t very interested in Zhenni. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called the four of them over.
“Let’s drink together,” Chen Qi said.
His alcohol tolerance was average—if they toasted him one by one, he’d be drunk in no time.
Outside A06, girls occasionally tried to come in for a free drink after hearing the client was handsome. But they were all stopped by two men in suits.
“By the way, you just graduated yesterday, right?” Chen Qi asked.
“Yeah! Brother, does your company need people? Take us in,” Lin Yuan said eagerly. She had also misunderstood, thinking Chen Qi was a self-made entrepreneur.
“Then we should celebrate… order another Frozen Supreme Dragon Set.”
Zhenni was stunned. Where exactly had she lost? She had never been ignored like this by other men.
What was so interesting about a few fresh graduates? They weren’t even bold.
Han Linlin and the others were also shocked by how casually Chen Qi spent another 100,000+ yuan.
Within one hour tonight, he had already ordered three Frozen Supreme Dragon Sets, spending over 380,000 yuan.
All four of them had already entered society, doing internships at elementary schools. Their monthly internship salary was 4,000 yuan. They deeply understood how hard it was to earn money.
[Han Linlin favorability +5, current: 10]
[He looks so handsome when he scans the payment code.]
[Handsome and rich… if I can win him over, I could live like a young madam.]
Han Linlin came from a moderately well-off family. Her mother was a middle school teacher, and her father was a high school teacher. She had never lacked food or clothing growing up. Though her parents’ salaries weren’t high, she never lacked anything she needed.
Her parents held traditional views—they believed in a stable, peaceful life. They hoped she would find someone within the system, preferably a civil servant, with stable and decent income.
But Han Linlin didn’t want that kind of ordinary life. She wanted to be a little princess… a young madam.
That’s right—she got that idea from scrolling Douyin.
For ordinary people, a dual-income family with good benefits was already a great life—countless people struggled just to reach that level.
“You really can’t judge a girl by appearances,” Chen Qi thought after hearing her inner voice.
From her looks and temperament, she seemed pure and innocent.
Chen Qi moved over to sit beside her.
“Linlin, do you have a boyfriend?”
“Not yet.”
“What kind do you like?”
“I don’t know… I’ll leave it to fate.”
[This white lotus… ‘leave it to fate’? A tall, rich, handsome guy is right in front of you, and you still pretend you don’t like it?]
Zhenni scoffed inwardly.
As expected, women understood women best. Without the system, Chen Qi wouldn’t have realized Han Linlin was a white lotus.
“How about I be your boyfriend?”
“Brother, if your girlfriend hears you say that, she’ll beat you to death,” Han Linlin replied with a shy smile.
“I don’t have a girlfriend. If you’re willing, you can be.”
