Bang! The heavy ashtray slammed down onto the coffee table.
With a crash, the tempered glass shattered into countless irregular, coin-sized pieces.
The hotel staff, dressed as doormen, and security guards in black suits with walkie-talkies.
Over a dozen people appeared from nowhere, instantly surrounding Qin Xiao.
"What's going on?"
A man in a black suit, at least one meter eighty-five tall and over thirty-five years old, pushed through the crowd and questioned the waiter who had led Qin Xiao in.
"Brother Liu!"
The waiter lowered his head in greeting upon seeing the man approach.
Then, she approached the man's ear and quickly recounted what had happened.
As he listened to the waiter's account, the man sized Qin Xiao up and down.
Qin Xiao was dressed in luxury brands, and his expression was unruffled.
The man didn't dare to dismiss the situation outright.
Instead, he waved his hand, dismissing the crowd.
He sat down on a single sofa nearby.
"Brother, I don't know what service we provided that upset you. If our people didn't satisfy you, come to me. Whatever you want to do here today, it's on me!"
Earlier, Uncle Wang had told Qin Xiao in the car that this place was owned by a so-called "big brother" of the society.
Although this wasn't the city center of Modu, this six-story building housed numerous entertainment facilities, including a KTV, bathhouses, and nightclubs.
Whether they built this building themselves or rented it, it wasn't something ordinary thugs or average people could manage.
At this level of influence, ordinary fights wouldn't even warrant a glance. If you stepped on someone's foot, they might apologize to you first.
Moreover, Qin Xiao's attire implied considerable wealth, and he presented himself with an air of confidence.
Therefore, the man who appeared to be the head of security started with polite words, trying to gauge Qin Xiao's background.
Qin Xiao didn't bother with idle chatter.
He directly slapped a bank card onto the table with a thwack.
"This card contains 2 million. The password is six zeros. I don't care who your boss or big brother is. I want to discuss a small business deal. Whether it works out or not, this money is a token of goodwill."
Two million to open the way, this man wouldn't dare make the decision lightly now.
He said, "Please wait a moment," and got up to make a phone call.
In less than two minutes, the man came back in and said to Qin Xiao respectfully,
"Our boss has something to take care of right now. If you don't mind, I can arrange for you to go upstairs and take a bath to relax. He'll be back soon to meet with you!"
"Alright!"
Qin Xiao didn't stand on ceremony either, and got up to follow the man upstairs.
After arranging Qin Xiao, the man dashed to the lobby and quickly swiped his card to check the balance.
After confirming that the numbers were correct, he picked up the phone again and called his boss.
...
June 27th, 2021, the eighteenth day of the fifth lunar month!
The year of Xin Chou, the month of Jia Wu, the day of Bing Wu.
Avoid: Opening a business, felling trees, building a ridgepole! Suitable for: Engagement, betrothal, travel, moving house!
This date wasn't considered particularly auspicious for weddings in Huaxia, just ordinary.
But Guo Xinliang still chose this date. Nothing else, the 518 in the lunar calendar, taking its homophone, which means "I want to prosper."
The landline phone on the bedside table rang at precisely 4:30.
This was the wake-up call Guo Xinliang had specifically arranged with the hotel the previous night.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the naked, graceful figure beside him, half-covered by the quilt.
Pulling back the curtains, the sky outside was already beginning to lighten.
Looking down from the luxurious hotel room on the thirtieth-something floor, one could vaguely see the early risers beginning to trickle out onto the streets.
He was staying in a luxurious hotel suite, and lying on the bed was a long-legged model he'd once only dreamed of.
Guo Xinliang was very satisfied with his current life, extremely satisfied.
Even if it meant betraying his childhood friend and his marriage, he didn't care.
Standing on the balcony, breathing in the fresh air, he lit a cigarette and picked up his phone to call the person listed as "Wife."
"Hello!"
A voice, still groggy and slightly angry, came from the phone.
Guo Xinliang's lips twitched, a voice effectively ruining his good mood.
"Still not awake? What time is it? Do you even know what day it is? The makeup artist will be here soon, you know? What were you doing last night? Did you go to a nightclub and drink for half the night again?!"
Guo Xinliang lowered his voice, trying not to sound so angry, but the tone of reproach was impossible to hide.
"What's with you, Guo? We agreed to do our own thing. Back when you dragged me into taking over Qin Xiao's company shares, you were like a lapdog in front of me."
"What? Now that the company is about to go public, you're getting cocky? Are you trying to deny it? I'm telling you, according to the agreement, the company's management rights are in both of our hands. Without me, you're just a small shareholder, and you'll be kicked out by the venture capital companies sooner or later!"
The woman's voice suddenly rose several decibels, seemingly very dissatisfied with Guo Xinliang's scolding tone.
"Shut up! It was you who was greedy, don't put the blame on me. I don't care how you usually play around, but today is our wedding day, and you brought a gigolo back to the hotel from a nightclub last night!"
Guo Xinliang clenched his fist with one hand and slammed it hard against the railing on the balcony.
"Guo, you're really something. Don't tell me you don't have any women around, stop putting on that act. After the company successfully goes public for a year, when the shares can be traded, I'm done with you. I'm warning you, don't bother me, if you piss me off, I'll just transfer my shares to someone else!"
The woman on the other end said viciously and then hung up the phone.
"Qu Fang, you bitch!"
Guo Xinliang nearly couldn't resist smashing his phone.
