Chapter 158: Chapter 150: This Makes Me Even More Excited
After hearing Gu Bai’s request, Cao Rui’s heart skipped a beat.
With Gu Bai’s casual remark, tens of thousands were spent, and as a sales agent, just the commission from this single transaction was enough to keep him excited and sleepless tonight.
Carefully calculating in his heart, Cao Rui spoke again, but his tone was three times more respectful than before.
"Young Master Gu, the Great Dragon set is 88,888, a bottle of Louis XIII Cognac is 58,888, a single Black Gold Edition Ace of Spades is 38,000, the total price is 379,000, and with snacks and fruit platters, the total is 380,000."
As soon as Cao Rui finished speaking, Gu Bai directly handed over his Black Gold Card from the Construction Bank.
"There’s no password, swipe it yourself, and hurry up."
Respectfully taking Gu Bai’s Black Gold Card, Cao Rui hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, Young Master Gu, I’ll bring the drinks to you as fast as I can."
Gu Bai waved his hand at him, indicating that he could leave.
Holding Gu Bai’s Black Gold Card, Cao Rui quickened his pace and ran towards the backstage.
He’s only seen Black Gold Cards like this twice in his life, the first time was when a wealthy heir from Kyoto rented the venue. As an errand runner, he could only see this legendary bank card up close, but this time, it’s in his hands. Thinking of this, Cao Rui couldn’t help but sweat a bit. Someone who can take out such a card is definitely no ordinary person. If he serves well, he might just develop into his major client.
After Cao Rui left, Gu Bai invited Shen Qiu and the others into the private booth, while the four bodyguards dutifully stood guard at the door.
When Gu Bai was paying just now, the girls were standing beside him. Watching Gu Bai spend 380,000 like it was just 3.80, they couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. When they come to nightclubs, if they spend by themselves, it’s at most a few thousand. Even if they occasionally encounter a sucker or a rich fool, the most they’ve seen spent was tens of thousands. This kind of situation where even hundreds of thousands are spent directly, it’s the first time they’ve come across.
As for Shen Qiu, she knows Gu Bai’s identity from the manager.
A billionaire mogul, to him, 380,000—even 3.8 million—is unlikely to cause him to furrow his brow.
However, people have selfish desires. Although she invited these so-called sisters to join in the fun, Shen Qiu didn’t reveal Gu Bai’s identity to them. If they knew who Gu Bai really is, the supposed sisterly friendship would instantly collapse. Ancient concubines had tens of thousands of schemes vying for favor, not to mention these battle-hardened women in today’s society.
As for Zeng Yaning, ever since entering MIX, she had been hiding non-stop, always lowering her head, as if afraid someone might recognize her, also seating herself in the least conspicuous spot in the booth.
Ever since being in the car, Zeng Yaning had appeared unsettled, greatly resisting coming to MIX. After entering MIX, her actions further confirmed there might be a backstory. So, Gu Bai directly sat next to Zeng Yaning.
Gu Bai silently sat beside her, startling Zeng Yating, who had been tense the whole time. Only after realizing it was Gu Bai did she breathe a sigh of relief, instinctively touching her voluptuous chest.
Gu Bai saw her action and wanted to try the feel, but things will come when they come; there’s no need to rush.
"Why don’t you talk?"
Gu Bai lit a cigarette, leaned back on the sofa, and unpromptedly spoke a baffling sentence to Zeng Yaning.
"Talk about what?"
Smiling slyly, Gu Bai said, "Why not talk about what unsavory memories you have in MIX?"
As soon as he said this, Zeng Yaning instantly showed a look of surprise, then quickly concealed it, speaking softly, "There’s nothing unsavory, just not accustomed to the nightclub atmosphere."
Zeng Yaning clearly wasn’t someone who could lie.
She kept her head down while speaking, anyone could see she wasn’t being truthful.
The less Zeng Yaning said, the more Gu Bai wanted to know. He leaned towards her ear and whispered, "If you honestly tell me, maybe we can move to another nightclub."
Feeling the warmth of Gu Bai’s breath on her neck, a long-lost feeling surged in her heart. However, her willpower was good, quickly suppressing the turmoil inside.
From afar, Shen Qiu saw Gu Bai and Zeng Yaning getting close, gritting her teeth, eyes full of jealousy.
Her sisters noticed her gaze and teased, "Jealous, huh?"
"Jealous of that nearly over-the-hill woman?"
Shen Qiu smiled disdainfully, feigning indifference.
"Over-the-hill? People call that charm, this is the type men are into now!"
"Just because she has a bit more meat in the front than us? Enough to make men reel? And that Zeng Yaning, acting all innocent at the company, but when the moment arrives, she’s way better at ensnaring men than us."
Her tone was full of discontent.
"Zeng Yaning is different. You may not know, but she used to be a billionaire, only to be swindled by her ex-husband and not getting a cent. Otherwise, how could a lady of leisure like her be working as a caddie with us?"
"Just a divorced woman, lady of leisure? Pft!"
Shen Qiu spat again.
Meanwhile, Zeng Yaning lifted her head, gazing for a few seconds before slowly saying, "You’ve spent 380,000 here, you wouldn’t change just for me, would you?"
Looking at Zeng Yaning, Gu Bai couldn’t help but laugh.
Seeing Gu Bai laugh inexplicably, Zeng Yaning couldn’t help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"
Not answering her question, he instead asked, "Do you think 380,000 is a lot to me? Not to mention 38,000, even 3.8 million—if your answer satisfies me, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid to take you to another place."
Once, 3.8 million might not have been a huge sum to Zeng Yaning, but now, it was an astronomical figure.
"Do you second-generation types really not think money is money?"
"I don’t know about others, but in my eyes, tens and hundreds of thousands really aren’t much.
Besides, why are you so sure I’m a second-generation?"
"A self-made billionaire in his twenties? That kind of person doesn’t exist in this world."
"Why can’t I be the first?"
No matter how much she tried, Zeng Yaning couldn’t come up with a retort. She only knew from the manager that Gu Bai had billions; she knew nothing else about him.
"Can you tell me now?"
"Do you really want to know?"
Raising an eyebrow, Gu Bai made no comment.
After hesitating for a while, like she was making up her mind, Zeng Yaning finally said lightly, "This bar is run by my husband."
"Ex-husband?"
"Not ex-husband, husband."
"Didn’t you say you were divorced?"
"Is it impossible for me to lie to you?"
Hearing this, Gu Bai fell silent.
"What now? Disappointed? I’m not divorced yet, so drop those thoughts. If you want to complain to my company, go ahead. Telling you the truth means I’m ready to be fired."
Regaining her icy demeanor, she prepared to leave after speaking.
Seeing this, Gu Bai pulled her back, causing Zeng Yaning to lose her balance and fall into Gu Bai’s embrace.
"What are you doing!"
Applying a bit of force, keeping Zeng Yaning from escaping, Gu Bai lowered his head, locked eyes with her, and said slowly, "Disappointed?
Why would I be disappointed? Does your marital status make such a big difference to me? If there’s indeed a difference, I’d say it only makes you.
more exciting to me now."
"You’re shameless!"
With anger, Zeng Yaning spewed the words, which only brought a cocky laugh from Gu Bai.
