Inside the car, Su Mo couldn't help but speak. "Miss Yang, this should count as overtime work, right?"
Yang Qingxi rolled her eyes, then said with an expressionless face. "If you handle it well. Not only the overtime pay, I'll even give you a million as a bonus."
"Deal!" Su Mo spoke with a satisfied laugh.
"So, what are you going to do?" Yang Qingxi asked curiously.
"Just trust me and wait for the show to unfold." Su Mo grinned and didn't satisfy her curiosity.
"Fine." Yang Qingxi wanted to see if he would reveal his plan through his inner thoughts. Unfortunately, all he thought about was what things to buy with that bonus.
Helpless, she could only fold her hands and wait.
Zhang Xulin just sat in the driver's seat with a lost expression, listening to their obscure conversation. She was getting used to their talking about things she didn't understand. Being left out was rather uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do about it. She can only hope and wait for the time when Miss Yang will also share those secrets with her.
The three got out of the car and went inside the bar, then sat down at an empty table.
Su Mo looked around and found familiar faces in the bar.
[Hmm, Yang Zhen is drinking with Dong Xuman... Ye Chen is also here ... And the pair of a brown-haired, spectacled man and a mature woman... Alright, it seems everything is consistent with the plot. Then I can act according to the plan.]
Yang Qingxi had also noticed them. It's just that Su Mo still hasn't revealed his so-called plan, which made her angry.
***
Half an hour later, a white Porsche stopped near the bar.
A fat, middle-aged man with sparse hair on his head, wearing an expensive suit, came out of the car.
His amiable face would make anyone believe him to be a kind and gentle man. That too was the persona he had established in front of the outside world. After all, he is the head of Sunshine Charitable Trust. Director He Xiong.
"Mr He, welcome! Mr Wang is waiting at the VIP box 4."
On his arrival, the man who was waiting for him stepped forward and spoke.
"You are?" He Xiong asked, keeping up a gentle expression.
"I am Mr Wang's assistant, Xiao Wuming." Wuming had a good first impression of Mr He and replied politely.
"Is that so?" He Xiong nodded and said, "Thanks for your hard work."
"That's my job, Mr He."
He Xiong smiled, then asked him to lead the way.
When they entered the bar, his arrival alarmed several people. Which he didn't notice as he left quickly towards the VIP area.

"What's wrong, Brother Dong?" Yang Zhen was having a good time chatting and drinking with Dong Xumao. Suddenly, Dong Xumao stopped talking. Then, an uncomfortable expression appeared on his face.
"Nothing." Dong Xumao shook his head and sighed. "I just noticed an unpleasant person."
Yang Zhen followed his gaze and saw the fat middle-aged man in a suit.
"Who is he?"
Dong Xumao hesitated for a moment, then spoke. "It's the rich man I told you about. Of whom my ex-fiancée became a mistress."
"So, it's that guy, huh?" Yang Zhen's gaze became sharp. "Brother Hua, I want all his details."
"As you say, young master." Hua Cheng stood up and went out to make some calls.
Dong Xumao was a bit startled and looked at Yang Zhen in surprise.
"Young master? Brother Yang, do you have a powerful identity?"
"Only now did you notice?" Yang Zhen asked with a chuckle.
Dong Xumao scratched his head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry I was impolite to you. I won't disturb you anymore."
He was about to stand up and leave, but Yang Zhen stopped him.
"No need, we have shared drinks together. Aren't we friends?"
Dong Xumao could see that Yang Zhen was very serious when he asked this. There was no hint of mockery or superiority in his eyes.
He genuinely wanted to be his friend. This realisation made him feel emotional.
"Brother Yang, from now on, you are my, Dong Xumao's, best buddy. Whenever you need me, I'll stand by your side in the future."
Yang Zhen stared at him for a moment, then teased. "I don't want to hear those cheesy words from a man's mouth."
Dong Xumao looked at him speechlessly and said, "I was making a sincere oath of friendship. You ruined the feeling."
"Don't blame me." Yang Zhen shrugged.
The two started laughing and drinking again.
What Yang Zhen didn't know was that Dong Xumao cherished this friendship much more than he thought. He gave up everything for this oath. Even... his life.
In the original story. The blame for He Xiong's death finally fell on Dong Xumao, who was sentenced to 14 years of imprisonment. Half a year after staying in jail, he made a prison break.
He recruited several criminals under his command, who escaped alongside him, and in just a year, he built his own underground empire in Jiangnan City.
He became a powerful supporter of Yang Zhen when fighting with Ye Chen. Unfortunately, he met the same end that any minor villain of this kind of novel has.
Becoming a stepping stone for Ye Chen to show off, and being killed in the end.

Su Mo's lips curled up. 'Finally!' Now he was just waiting for the drama to unfold.
'Xiao Mu' noticed He Xiong's arrival and set his plan into motion.
With the flick of his finger, he drugged Miss Jing's wine.
Oblivious, Miss Jing picked up that glass to drink. Suddenly, her head started feeling a little dizzy.
"What's wrong, Miss Jing?"
"Nothing... Ugh, just my head."
"It seems you are quite drunk. Let's stop drinking today. I'll take you back."
"Thank you, Xiao Mu~" Miss Jing smiled and said in a slurry voice.
'Xiao Mu' smiled and helped her out of the bar. When they got out, Miss Jing suggested while rubbing her head.
"We are both drunk and can't drive. Let's just stay at the nearby hotel."
'Xiao Mu' seemed to hesitate, which made Miss Jing want to flirt with him even more.
"Do you dislike me?" She asked, pretending to be angry.
"No, not at all." 'Xiao Mu' shook his head, rattled. As if afraid of making her angry.
Seeing this, Miss Jing couldn't help but lick the corner of her lips.
'Hehe~ What a cutie~ I'll eat you tonight!'
