Although she was a little worried about the young, gentle, and rich … bad boy, Bai Qi didn't know if Boss Zhao had let him go. When they found out about the shooting at the entrance of the clubhouse, the police had already arrived. After the shooting, Star Clubhouse only closed for three hours before reopening. It had to be said that the owner behind this clubhouse was a very powerful figure in Linhai.
Bai Qi frowned slightly. She thought of the boy who had watched her dance for two hours and tormented her until she was at a loss like a young girl. She felt a little uneasy when she thought of his sweet face as he fell asleep in her arms. However, she was only a woman who made a living at the bottom of society. Other than asking around, it was impossible for her to have the intention to help him.
She wasn't used to staying in her own lounge. Although it was exclusive to high-class prostitutes like her, she always felt that it was too quiet. It was the lounge where Xu Le had been playing cards all afternoon. Everyone felt a little strange tonight. After the incident in the afternoon, it was expected that the clubhouse's business would be much worse at night. However, it was almost eight o 'clock, and no one had rung Bai Qi's clock yet.
"Qiqi, come to the general manager's office."
A gentle voice came from the communicator. It seemed to be the boss's voice. The girls in the lounge became nervous and glanced at Bai Qi. Bai Qi smiled bitterly. She didn't know what had happened, but she went straight to the third floor.
The third floor was reserved for the boss. Bai Qi had only been there once during the signing of the contract. When she came in tonight, she saw an old man with a head of white hair. The boss, who was usually extremely cold, was now pouring tea for the old man in an extremely humble manner. Bai Qi was slightly stunned. Could it be that he wanted her to serve this old man?
Butler Jin heard footsteps and turned his head. He looked at Bai Qi from head to toe seriously as if he was looking at a piece of art. At some point, the boss of the clubhouse quietly left. Only Bai Qi and Butler Jin were left in the room. Bai Qi had been immersed in the entertainment industry for a long time and had seen countless men. However, when faced with this old man's gaze, she began to feel nervous. She felt that under his calm gaze, she wasn't wearing any clothes at all. She was naked like a baby.
After a long time, Butler Jin nodded in satisfaction and asked gently, "How long have you been in this business?"
"A year and a half," for some reason, Bai Qi answered nervously.
"I've seen your medical report. You're a very meticulous girl." Butler Jin smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to see you. Do you remember that young man from this morning? "
"I remember." Bai Qi became more and more nervous.
"That's my Young Master." Butler Jin took out an envelope from the pocket of his suit and instructed, "So, from today onwards, you don't have to do this anymore. The address on the envelope is for your accommodation from now on. There's also a check inside, it's a token of our family's gratitude."
Bai Qi did not understand the meaning of this sentence and looked at the old man in a daze.
Butler Jin paused for a moment before saying with a smile, "I hope you don't misunderstand. We don't want to control your life. You're free to fall in love. If that's the case, please return this key … If you're willing to wait for Young Master's arrival in that house, please move into that house."
Butler Jin's brows furrowed slightly as he said, "However, I hope that you can make a careful and long-term decision. If you decide not to live in that house, please inform me in advance. I don't want anything unpleasant to happen."
"Trust me." After Butler Jin was done with this matter, he looked at her with a gentle smile and said softly, "You're the luckiest girl in the Federation in the past twenty years."
His words were very gentle, but it made Bai Qi feel endless pressure and nervousness. She didn't even know when Butler Jin left, nor did she hear his last sentence clearly. She walked back to the lounge in a daze. Looking at the chattering sisters who were asking her questions, she finally remembered to look at the envelope.
The first thing she saw was the address on the envelope. She recognized at a glance that this address was the Huayuan District, the most expensive district in Linhai. She couldn't help but gasp. When she opened the envelope, she saw the check. She nervously began to count the zeros behind the number. She counted for a long time until she felt that her eyes must be playing tricks on her.
Every zero was like a small hammer of happiness, hitting Bai Qi's numb heart. Her hands trembled as she held the key and the check. When she thought of the virgin man she had received this morning, her eyes went dark and she fainted happily.
…
…
The problem lay in Area H1.
Xu Le rested his chin on his hand and leaned against the edge of the black mecha's operating cabin. He looked at the high ceiling above his head and thought to himself. It had been so many days. Other than him and Tai Zhiyuan, no other students had entered, at least at night. This phenomenon had long attracted his attention. Even if it was the most advanced laboratory in Ewha University, it was impossible for only him and Tai Zhiyuan to have access to it.
It seemed that Area H1 was not an ordinary place. That kid surnamed Feng was indeed not an ordinary person.
Xu Le subconsciously touched the back of his neck where the chip was planted. Ordinary citizens of the Federation had long treated the chip in their bodies as an organ that accompanied them for the rest of their lives. There was no rejection, no curiosity, and sometimes they couldn't even think about it, let alone touch it … He was different. The back of his neck was planted with a fake chip. Moreover, there were many chips in the metal bracelet on his left hand.
Since the fake chip in his body could enter Area H1, which was not an ordinary place, it meant that the chip's creator, Uncle Feng Yu, had written into the chip. That was why Area H1's identification system gave the chip permission to pass through.
Xu Le scratched his head with a headache. He did not have a coffee cup in his hand. The operating program of the first charter was completely open and transparent. It was impossible for the chip in the human body to be written into. It could only be identified by the three-layer surveillance network and given different permissions. Xu Le knew how Uncle Feng Yu did all this, but he also thought that since he could even make fake chips, anything that went against the common sense or laws of mankind might not be a big deal in front of Uncle Feng Yu.
Tonight, Tai Zhiyuan did not come to Area H1. Xu Le waited for a long time, but the voice on the intercom did not ring. Maybe the other party did not know how to answer his question? Xu Le frowned and smiled helplessly. He was indeed very curious about the identity of the other party, but in fact, he was more worried. He always thought that his boring conflict with the Zou siblings had dragged the weak Tai Zhiyuan into it. He did not know if the other party's family would be in trouble.
After pondering in silence for a long time, Xu Le gave up thinking about the chip behind his neck and Area H1. He began to think about these … friends he had met in Ewha University this year.
He did not know why, but he always had a depressing thought, just like when he was with Zhang Xiaomeng. Maybe from today onwards, that rich boy who liked to eat deep-fried pancakes would disappear from his life. He comforted himself. After all, they were not from the same world. It was not bad to have been together before.
It had to be said that Xu Le, who had grown up in the remote and desolate Donglin District, still had a vague sense of inferiority in his bones. It was especially so after he came to the capital ring. The buildings, the equipment in the laboratories, the people, and the things that happened reminded him that he was actually just a bumpkin. Even though his mechanical engineering practice classes were better than those of the official students, and even though he had few friends, they all seemed to have extraordinary backgrounds.
It was because of this inferiority that he was so strong and stubborn in front of Zhang Xiaomeng. It was completely uncharacteristic of his sharp tongue.
When he thought of Zhang Xiaomeng, the lights in Area H1 dimmed a lot in Xu Le's eyes. He stared listlessly at the soft white light emitted by the ceiling lights. His hands were quickly assembling something beside him. He did not even look at it.
His hands were assembling an antique simulation system. He had spent one million Federation coins to order this from the Shell Motor Company. Thanks to the Federation's smooth logistics channels, this antique system was in his hands in only half a day. The manual and schematic were already engraved in his mind. Relying on the metallic sensation from his fingertips, he quickly assembled the parts together. It was as if he was not worried at all that he would make a mistake.
One million Federation coins was enough to buy a very good apartment in Linhai. When he heard the signal beep three times, Xu Le knew that the assembly was a success. However, he was thinking about this sentence in his mind. This one million was the money in the three Linlin United Bank Card that the uncle had left him. He had originally planned to save it to buy a house for himself and Zhang Xiaomeng in the future. However, it seemed that the female owner of the room had suddenly changed her mind. Therefore, he silently and angrily ordered this system.
He was not one of those women. Spending all the money in his hands did not make his gloomy mood any better. Putting aside the simulation system that was as soft as skin but heavier than a wrestler, he opened his backpack and took out the electronic components that he had prepared for several months. He silently began to assemble another tool.
This time, Xu Le was clearly much more careful. He gently pushed on the metal bracelet. A faint beam of light shot out and projected an extremely detailed and complicated schematic diagram on the smooth inner surface of the mech. He stared at the schematic diagram and seriously assembled the components that were removed from the various common Federation tools in his hands. He did not even blink. He was very serious.
Xu Le was in a bad mood. Fifty percent of it was because of Zhang Xiaomeng, thirty percent was because of what happened today and Tai Zhiyuan, and the remaining twenty percent was because of his fear. He didn't know where he was going to go in the future. There was a fire burning in his heart, but he couldn't find a way to vent it.
Habit became second nature. He seemed to have returned to the operations room in the Donglin District mine pit. He lowered his head and focused on repairing everything that he could. In that microscopic and quiet world where no one could disturb him, he calmed his emotions.
Time gradually passed as he focused on his work. He did not know that the sky outside was almost bright, and he also did not know that in Ewha University's gymnasium, which was only a wall away from Area H1, preparations for the next day's mecha show had already begun. The mecha show by those proud and confident military officers from the Federation's First Military Academy.
