chapter 2: Because I Have Money

Lanting Club is the biggest money - burning den in Jincheng.

In the lobby filled with an atmosphere of debauchery and luxury, a young man and a young woman were sitting in the most desirable booth.

The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They looked like a perfect couple, but the atmosphere between them was rather tense.

"I'm going to have him tonight!" Wu Pengpeng stepped on a stool with one foot, looking confident and determined.

Xu Xingchen looked at the annoying look of the woman opposite him. He was so angry that he even wanted to scratch her pretty face.

He used to be the most honored customer of the club. But three days ago, this woman who claimed to be Fairy came. She was even more generous than him and quickly replaced him to become the club's number - one VIP.

What annoyed him the most was that whatever he took a fancy to, this woman would compete with him for it.

In the past, he let her have what she wanted. But tonight, he would never give up this man!

He had seen countless men, but he had never seen a man with such perfect looks and charm.

Even when he casually sat in a corner, he could instantly catch everyone's attention.

His facial features seemed to be carved by the most delicate hands in the world. A little more would make him overly gorgeous, and a little less would make him plain. Everything about him was just right.

Xu Xingchen was instantly smitten at first sight.

"I saw him first!"

In this place full of gay men, he had no "1" to rely on. He finally found a man he liked, and now this stinky woman wanted to compete with him for him!

Wu Pengpeng took out a checkbook from her bag and threw it in front of him. "Give him to me. Name your price."

She had a small goal today: to squander one hundred million yuan first.

In this mission of squandering money, talents, beauty, and kindness would all be valued.

Once her bid was more than twice the actual value of the "commodity", the transaction would be invalid, and she would receive a penalty equal to twice the original price.

So, in the past week, not only had she failed to squander a single cent, but she had actually earned one hundred million yuan.

And that man's good looks were enough to fuel her ambition to squander money!

Xu Xingchen scoffed. "On what grounds?"

Wu Pengpeng played with her wine glass, with a glint of amusement in her eyes. "Because I'm rich!"

Xu Xingchen was so angry that he was speechless. This damned reason was really irrefutable!

"You'll never succeed!" Today, for this man of peerless beauty, he was willing to spend all his fortune just to make him smile.

Seeing that he was not willing to give up, Wu Pengpeng didn't waste any more words.

She slammed her wine glass on the table. Her alluring fox - like eyes were full of provocation. "Then stop talking nonsense. Let's compete with our strength."

Not far away in another booth, He Qianshan had no idea that he had already been used as a bet.

He looked at Li Cheng opposite him who was chattering non - stop. There was a hint of impatience in his beautiful peach - blossom eyes.

"Qianshan, Sister Lan really likes you. This project was tailored for you at a high cost. You know that same - sex themes have been very popular in recent years. Once the drama is broadcast, you'll be able to make it to the first - tier."

Li Cheng talked himself hoarse, but He Qianshan was unmoved. "I've read the role. It has no appeal to me."

He had indeed read the script. To cater to the market, the producers had created a story of two men in a sticky relationship with no spiritual core.

He didn't want to waste his time and energy on such trash.

Seeing his firm attitude, Li Cheng felt a headache coming on.

Since Sister Lan, a capital tycoon, caught a glimpse of He Qianshan at an award ceremony half a year ago, she had been crazy about him. She had made several veiled attempts, but He Qianshan remained unmoved.

Li Cheng had a bit of a connection with He Qianshan, so Sister Lan asked him to be a persuader and promised to invest in several of his movies if he succeeded.

Li Cheng was reluctant to give up. He tried to persuade He Qianshan earnestly. "Qianshan, acting is an industry that relies on youth. The golden period is only a few years. You should seize the opportunity. Don't you want to be famous?"

He Qianshan flicked at the non - existent dust on his cuffs. His tone was emotionless. "Of course I want to be famous. But..."

He looked up at Li Cheng expressionlessly. "I hope I'll be remembered for my works, not for being kept as a mistress. I hope you, Director Li, feel the same way."

His words were like a slap in Li Cheng's face. Li Cheng's face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

But He Qianshan didn't give him any face at all. He immediately issued a declaration of breaking off their relationship. "By the way, Director Li, don't look for me again in the future. I don't want to have anything to do with a pimp."

Seeing that He Qianshan was so ungrateful, Li Cheng was so angry that his face turned green.

"If you dare to offend Lantian Entertainment, you'll be waiting to be blacklisted!" After leaving this harsh threat, he picked up his wallet and walked away without even paying the bill.

Finally, He Qianshan could enjoy some peace and quiet. He was about to get up and pay the bill when his phone vibrated.

He took out his phone and saw a message from his assistant, Fu Heng.

"Boss, are you still busy? Both Yunxiu and Qinghe companies want the right to host your debut. The representatives of the two companies are tearing each other down at the meeting. Now they've even started fighting. Do you want to come and take a look?"

They could even start fighting over this?

He Qianshan frowned slightly and typed a reply. "Got it."

Then he sent another message. "Investigate Lantian Entertainment. Whether it's through acquisition or suppression, make it disappear within three days."

After replying to the messages, he stuffed his phone into his bag and was about to get up and leave when a pair of slender hands grabbed his collar.

Before he could react, a graceful figure leaned over and straddled him.

Then his lips were covered by two soft ones. A strong smell of alcohol and a faint rose fragrance filled his nostrils.

He Qianshan only felt a tingling sensation on his lips. It was as if an electric current had passed through his whole body, causing a slight tremor in his heart.

His body seemed to be under a spell and he stood there stiffly.

Seeing that the man beneath her didn't resist, Wu Pengpeng boldly stuck out her tongue and gently licked his soft lips.

The little bit of clarity that He Qianshan had just regained instantly vanished.

He had been... molested?!

Wu Pengpeng happily let go of He Qianshan and showed off to Xu Xingchen not far away.

Her look seemed to say "He's mine now".

Xu Xingchen never expected that he would lose not only in terms of financial strength but also in terms of alcohol tolerance to this stinky woman!

He glanced at the god - like man under Wu Pengpeng and left, covering his face in anger.

Seeing that the potential threat was eliminated, Wu Pengpeng silently let out a sigh of relief.

She grabbed He Qianshan's collar with one hand and took out an unlimited - credit black card from her handbag with the other, then handed it to the manager standing beside them.

The manager understood and took the card, then announced loudly, "All consumption tonight will be paid by Miss Fairy!"

The whole place erupted into cheers and was extremely lively.

The cheers startled He Qianshan, and his consciousness returned.

He looked at the excited woman on him and narrowed his star - like eyes slightly.

This woman must be crazy!

Seeing that he didn't object, the manager winked at the staff beside him.

Two burly men immediately stepped forward. They pressed something on the wall, and four walls rose around the booth.

In an instant, the booth became a closed room, and the colorful lights turned into incandescent lights.

Wu Pengpeng was caught off - guard by the man beneath her looking at her. Her mind "boomed" as if countless fireworks had exploded at once. Each one was written with the words "There are stars in his eyes".

"Tonight you'll be..." Those familiar and flirtatious lines suddenly got stuck in her throat.

He Qianshan looked at her expressionlessly, waiting for her to continue.

Wu Pengpeng felt her scalp go numb under his gaze. She instinctively wanted to escape.

When she got up, she accidentally pressed a button. The backrest of the sofa suddenly fell backward and turned into a big bed.

She also fell backward with the inertia and landed on a strong chest. She could clearly hear the man's heartbeat in her ear.

He Qianshan was caught off - guard by the soft and fragrant figure falling on him. There was a soft and fragrant mass in his arms.

Thinking of what she had just done, he inexplicably felt a little hot.

"Miss, don't tell me you're so reluctant to get up from me?"
