To verify this conjecture, I immediately called Xu Peiyu in Xingjia.
When I sent Xu Peiyu back to Xingjia earlier, I clearly remembered that when I asked her about her future plans, she told me she intended to return to work at the Yun Jin Club.
After all, ordinary jobs would only pay so much at best.
Although working as a waitress at the club made one susceptible to harassment from lecherous old men, there were commissions to be earned from recommending drinks to guests.
Therefore, for Xu Peiyu, who was accustomed to high earnings, returning to her former employer was the best option…
When the call connected, after some pleasantries, I began to subtly probe Xu Peiyu, asking about her recent situation.
She replied that she had returned to work as a waitress at the Yun Jin Club, just getting by for now.
After receiving an affirmative answer, I asked her if she had seen Yun Jin at the club recently.
After a slight pause, Xu Peiyu replied, "She came to the club once a while ago, but only stayed for a short time!"
Regarding Yun Jin's brief stay at the club, I did not immediately draw a conclusion.
Because the current so-called conclusion was merely speculation without evidence, and drawing it was futile.
The only way to obtain the truth was to approach the truth myself.
So, after a few more casual remarks, I jokingly told Xu Peiyu that I planned to visit her tonight to show my support and asked her to prepare more drinks.
As I said this, although Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun's earphones were not removed, their faces showed distinctly different reactions.
Cheng Minglang looked indifferent, as if he had no interest in going to the club.
As for Han Jinlun, he was excited.
Theoretically speaking, taking Cheng Minglang on an outing would be more reliable, but…
This trip to the Yun Jin Club was for a purpose, and it would inevitably involve discreetly questioning the hostesses and waitresses to gather information.
And when it came to dealing with women, Han Jinlun was clearly more skilled.
Every man to his own trade.
Given Cheng Minglang's taciturn nature, even if I let him act freely, he would likely not say a word.
Therefore, I decided to take only Han Jinlun with me that night and leave Cheng Minglang behind.
After arranging a time with Xu Peiyu and chatting for a few more minutes, I hung up the phone.
………………
That evening, before Ying Baolin's call came, I took Han Jinlun to Xingjia.
Returning to the old place, as soon as the car stopped in front of the club, I saw Xu Peiyu, dressed in an OL uniform and with light makeup, looking out from the entrance of the club.
Frankly speaking, among the many women I had seen, Xu Peiyu's appearance was only slightly above average.
However, her figure was definitely among the top three.
Especially when wearing those tight, work-style uniforms, they perfectly showcased her voluptuous and shapely figure.
The so-called slightly above average was due to the points added for her figure.
To quote Han Jinlun, the "human pile driver," for someone with Xu Peiyu's figure, whether her face was pretty or not was irrelevant.
Because if her face was covered… she could still be ridden with great vigor!
So, as soon as he got out of the car and saw that Xu Peiyu's uniform collar was slightly low, with the pendant on her neck hanging exactly between her breasts, Han Jinlun froze in place as if under a spell!
To be honest, the thing I feared most when we were out was Han Jinlun displaying that lecherous look.
Just as I was about to remind Han Jinlun to curb his eagerness, this guy suddenly uttered something astonishing: "If you can't see your toes when you bend over, that's the ultimate beauty!"
"Sister Peiyu, it's only been a short time since we last met, and you've not only become more beautiful, but it seems… you've also grown a lot!"
Hearing this, I couldn't hold back, feeling so awkward that I wished I could distance myself from Han Jinlun by three feet.
Fortunately, Xu Peiyu had interacted with Han Jinlun before when she worked with me, so she didn't take his words to heart.
As if sensing my awkwardness, the tactful Xu Peiyu quickly walked up to us and, with great generosity, gave both Han Jinlun and me a perfunctory hug.
After hugging Han Jinlun, Xu Peiyu opened her arms and leaned towards me.
I thought this hug would also be perfunctory, but to my surprise, when Xu Peiyu embraced me, she pressed herself tightly against my chest.
Even the hands that rested on my waist tightened their grip.
A soft embrace filled with warmth, spring arrives, and flowers bloom in vibrant colors!
Just as these two phrases flashed through my mind, I saw Xu Peiyu tiptoe slightly and whisper into my ear, "It's been a long time, I've missed you so much!"
To avoid Han Jinlun noticing anything unusual, Xu Peiyu released me the moment she spoke and stood still.
These simple eight words were filled with boundless affection and tenderness.
It was a pity that I could not enjoy it.
Seeing me stunned and unresponsive, a barely perceptible hint of sadness flickered in Xu Peiyu's eyes.
After a self-deprecating smile, Xu Peiyu, her expression restored to its original state, enthusiastically led Han Jinlun and me into the club…
The private room Xu Peiyu reserved for me was very large. As soon as I entered, I saw that the table inside was already laden with drinks.
Without any perfunctory or unnecessary words, as soon as I sat down on the sofa, Xu Peiyu called the floor manager and asked them to bring the public relations manager.
After the call, in less than three minutes, two hostesses with exquisite makeup and tall figures knocked and entered.
If I remembered correctly, these two hostesses seemed to be friends of Xu Peiyu, and it appeared she had spoken to them in advance.
This was the tactful Xu Peiyu, considering and taking care of everything.
Although I was here to support Xu Peiyu and help her increase her income through drink sales, what kind of place was a club?
It was a place where women gathered, gossip flourished, and schemes and conflicts were rife!
Friendships within such an environment needed to be constantly maintained and strengthened with benefits.
Xu Peiyu knew my background and understood that a gambler was never short of money, so she used this opportunity to show her support as a way to do a favor.
The biggest beneficiaries of this favor seemed to be Xu Peiyu's two friends, but in reality… it was the "dog" Han Jinlun!
As soon as the public relations manager had just settled onto the sofa, Han Jinlun had already filled the wine glasses in front of both women, immediately setting the mood.
With Han Jinlun, the lively character, around, I could converse more freely with Xu Peiyu.
I don't know if my expression was too obvious, or if women's sixth sense was inherently accurate, but before I could even formulate my words…
Xu Peiyu took out a cigarette, placed it in my mouth, then pressed the wheel of her Zippo lighter to ignite it.
As the cigarette was lit, Xu Peiyu's bright eyes stared intently at me, then she asked with a light laugh, "Is there something you need me for?"
