“Liu Liu, I heard you landed a big deal last night?”

Upon hearing this, the young girl’s face flushed with embarrassment. Her lipstick application paused as she nodded with a shy laugh. “Yeah.”

The woman suddenly leaned in, eyes sparkling with curiosity. “How much?”

“This…”

It was an unspoken rule among the ladies not to inquire about each other’s earnings. The woman’s question was clearly overstepping.

“Tsk, looks like it was a hefty sum, you’re all tight-lipped about it.”

“Sister Lili, 1 didn’t mean…”

“Come on, spill it. It’s not just me who’s curious.”

In the spacious dressing room, many had already stopped what they were doing, all ears.

After a night’s gossip, almost all the ladies at Night Paris knew about the “paying for companionship.” It was said that even those not chosen could get a thousand, let alone the one who was selected. Surely, her earnings were even more!

Liu Liu pursed her lips, her complexion turning slightly pale.

“Right, Liu Liu, this is called… what’s the phrase… to break new ground! Share with your sisters!”

H ii

One question followed another, increasingly bold, leaving Liu Liu red-cheeked and embarrassed under their shameless interrogation. She bit her lip, tears stubbornly swirling in her eyes, threatening to fall at any moment.

Clang-

Just when she was at a loss, the door was pushed open and slammed against the wall, creating a loud noise.

Accompanied by the sound of high heels clicking on the floor, a slender figure entered slowly, her eyes and brows exuding a cool detachment. She swept a glance over everyone: “Manager Gao has called everyone to the first-floor bar for an announcement.”

Soon, the crowd left the dressing room.

Liu Liu, head bowed, hurriedly wiped away her tears, when suddenly a delicate hand appeared in her view, offering a tissue. “Use this.”

“Thank you, Sister Tan.”

“Don’t mind what those people say. They’re just sour because they can’t have what you have.”

“Yeah.” The young girl nodded, sniffing, “If 1 were them, I’d be curious too. Aren’t you curious, Sister Tan?”

“I’m curious, but I wouldn’t force it out of someone.”

“It’s not really forcing. 1 just don’t like their way of looking at me with such aggression. If it were you, Sister Tan, who wanted to know, I’d tell you everything!”

“Really?” All Tan raised an eyebrow, seemingly uninterested and not taking it seriously.

“Of course! Actually, there wasn’t much between that female client and me…”

“Oh?”

“But.” Liu Liu grinned like a mischievous little mouse, lowering her voice to a secretive whisper, “That client was really generous, a whole thirty thousand!”

The woman’s eyelids twitched.

“Sister Tan, let’s go down. Manager Gao doesn’t like it when people are late.”

Ah Tan concealed the depth in her eyes and nodded. “Okay.”

Mingya, President’s Office.

“That fast?” Shen Wan looked up, surprised, at Miao Miao across from her.

The latter handed over a folder with well-organized documents. “This is Tian Shui’s decision-making trends for the past six months, arranged chronologically from earliest to latest. The last three pages are from the past month, most of which are still in the planning stages.”

As Miao Miao summarized, Shen Wan briefly skimmed through the first half, not finding anything suspicious. The further she read, the slower she went, until suddenly her gaze paused.

“The Huihai Group’s high-end residential development project at No. 12 Qionghua Road in Huzhou?”

Miao Miao replied, “It seems Tian Shui is currently negotiating this. There are several other strong developers competing, so the success rate isn’t high. But what’s strange is that Tian Shui seems very confident, investing a lot of manpower in planning the implementation details..”
