Chapter 8

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Wei Yuhuan gradually forgot about the little crab’s matter, although sometimes he still felt a bit regretful when he was alone at night, but he was no longer as angry and unwilling as when it first happened.

Just as Wei Yuhuan was about to completely forget about this person, Shao Yongyang called him –

“Hey hey, do you still remember the little thief who secretly lived in your house and ran away before? I think I saw him yesterday!”

“Oh?” Wei Yuhuan was a bit surprised, but he didn’t show too much excitement. Instead, he calmly asked, “Where did you see him?”

Shao Yongyang: “At ‘Han Bao Yu Fang’!”

Wei Yuhuan was stunned. This “Han Bao Yu Fang” sounded like a bad place. Yes, it is a night club that mainly provides services such as singing, accompanying drinks, bathing and massage, and health care.

Wei Yuhuan doesn’t play with women, but he usually communicates with all kinds of business partners and knows something about it.

The girls working in “Han Bao Yu Fang” have low comprehensive quality, and many of them are good-looking foreign workers, but they are young and beautiful, and are liked by some nouveau riche and local tyrants.

Although there are countless nightclubs in S City, “Han Bao Yu Fang” is not as high-end as “Linglong Ge” and “Ju Jin Club”, but it also has some fame.

Wei Yuhuan was just wondering. That little crab is a man. How could he appear in such a place? Could it be that he went there to find a prostitute?

He frowned and asked Shao Yongyang, “Are you sure? Are you not mistaken?”

Shao Yongyang hurriedly said, “Damn, I even asked Qi Muying for a photo to compare it. The nose is the nose, the eyes are the eyes, exactly the same, absolutely not wrong!”

When Wei Yuhuan thought of the cute and innocent appearance of that little thing going to prostitute, his impression of him was greatly reduced!

But Shao Yongyang was still waiting for his reply. Wei Yuhuan inexplicably felt annoyed, “What is he doing there?” He asked this question to confirm. If it was really as he thought, then he was not interested at all.

Shao Yongyang laughed, “He’s working as a ‘greeter’ there!”

Wei Yuhuan: “……”

The “door greeter” is simply a person who stands at the door to greet guests. The ladies cannot gather at the door to receive guests, as it would be improper. With such a large store, even if the boss had three heads and six arms, they still wouldn’t be able to receive all the customers, so they need door greeters.

They are usually young and clever-looking guys who can talk and smile, understand how to flatter customers, and then guide them to the desired area or room according to their needs.

When Wei Yuhuan thought about it, the little crab looked so harmless and innocent, with a smiling face, so he was quite suitable for this job!

Shao Yongyang said again: “I also inquired for you. He works on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Do you want to go and see?”

Well, being persuaded by Shao Yongyang like this, Wei Yuhuan was a little bit tempted again.

“So he’s working tomorrow, right? Okay, I have nothing to do tomorrow evening, let’s go take a look.”

The next day, Shao Yongyang also called Qi Muying, and the three of them ate together before going to see the show.

At 7 p.m. when the lights were just turning on, flowers were entwined around the “bud-like” gilded door, neon lights flickered, and there was a sense of intoxication in the air.

That night, they drove Shao Yongyang’s flashy blue Porsche. As soon as the car slid into the entrance of the parking lot, the door greeter trotted out to greet them, and coincidentally, the person who came out to greet them was the one that Shao Yongyang had mentioned.

Wei Yuhuan sat in the passenger seat, lowered the car window, and leaned his elbow on the window sill, looking straight at the young man running towards them.

As he approached, the person’s eyebrows, eyes, and facial features gradually became clear, like a layer of gray memories that Wei Yuhuan had wiped clean in an instant, and they were restored to their original state.

“Boss, come here, park here…back up a bit…” The other person’s Mandarin had a special accent from the northern part of Jiangsu, but fortunately, his voice was clear and natural, with a unique youthful flavor.

This was the first time Wei Yuhuan had heard the voice of the little crab. He didn’t have a good impression of people who spoke with accents before, but the other person’s speech immediately entered his ears, bringing sunshine and warmth, making him feel comfortable all over.

As soon as the car stopped, the door greeter was very courteous and went to open the door for the person in the back seat first, and then greeted Qi Muying who came out, before circling back to open the door for Wei Yuhuan in the passenger seat. “Boss, it’s your first time here, right? I haven’t seen you before!” The little crab greeted Wei Yuhuan warmly, noticing that he was a stranger.

“Um-hmm.” Wei Yuhuan gave a light hum, this was also the first time he had seen the little crab in real life. He was 187 cm tall, while the other person was only at his nose height, looking thin and small, as if he could be easily caught.

At this moment, Wei Yuhuan felt an inexplicable sense of excitement all over his body, as if the prey that had disappeared had entered his field of vision again, close at hand, making the lazy hunter involuntarily concentrate his attention.

Shao Yongyang noticed Wei Yuhuan’s changing expression and teased Qiu Muying by winking at him.

“This boss has never been to this place before, so you better introduce it properly,” Shao Yongyang said to the doorman.

It’s not that he had never been here before, but it had been a long time.

Wei Yuhuan’s company had a dedicated PR department to handle reception for business partners. Only if the partner’s scale and status were on par with the Huan Yu Group’s level and if a high-level executive was involved, would Wei Yuhuan personally receive them. But such people were not the type to come to “Hankao,” but rather to more upscale venues.

After hearing Shao Yongyang’s instructions, the doorman nodded and bowed, “Of course, what kind of activities do you like? We have plenty here. Do you want to eat, take a bath, or play cards?”

“Will you serve me for a bath?” Wei Yuhuan asked with a smile.

Shao Yongyang almost spit out his drink. He gave his friend a scornful look, thinking, ‘He hasn’t even entered yet, and he’s already making dirty jokes? How shameless.’

Qiu Muying also turned his head and chuckled.

The doorman was taken aback by Wei Yuhuan’s question, but he didn’t realize the hidden meaning behind his words and thought he was just joking. “I won’t serve you, it’s not my place to do so. We have girls here, and they are all beautiful. Their massages are also very comfortable. Boss, you can try it out and see for yourself,” he said, lowering his head and looking embarrassed.

If it were a straight guy, he would have been aroused by those words and would want to rush in and see how beautiful the “girls” were and how comfortable the massage was. But Wei Yuhuan was gay.

During the journey, his attention was focused entirely on the little guy beside him. When he heard the other party shyly saying those few words just now, his long-dormant heart was stirred up and became lively again.

How long had it been since he had felt this way? Wei Yuhuan couldn’t remember. All he wanted to do now was laugh out loud at the sky.

It was like a gift from heaven, and today he was going to settle the score with this little guy!

As they walked from the parking lot to the main entrance, the young man beside them chattered away, introducing everything he could. Wei Yuhuan didn’t respond until they reached the entrance, where he finally asked, “What’s your name?”

The greeter immediately replied, “My name is Xie Xiaojiang. You can call me Xiao Xie or Xiao Jiang, sir!”

Some regular customers who had come here often would occasionally ask the greeters for their names, but it was the first time Xiao Xie had been asked for his name by a customer on their first visit.

Curious, he looked up at Wei Yuhuan. The lighting at the parking lot had been dim, and the customer was tall, so he hadn’t paid much attention before. But now that he looked closely, he realized that this customer was quite handsome and refined. He couldn’t believe that such a person would come here to solicit services. Looks really can be deceiving!

Just then, Wei Yuhuan suddenly lowered his head and met Xiao Xie’s gaze. His sharp scrutinizing gaze and the slightly suggestive smile he gave him startled Xiao Xie.

Being good at reading people’s expressions and body language was an essential skill for any greeter. If they said or did something that offended a customer, they could end up in serious trouble.

Xiao Xie was a bit flustered and quickly averted his gaze. He wondered if this customer had never seen him before. Why did he give him such a strange look just now?

As they entered the main entrance, the lobby manager spotted Shao Yongyang and hurried over. “Oh, President Shao , welcome! Welcome!” Shao was a valued customer of “Han Bao Yu Fang,” with lots of money, few requests, and a wide network of connections. When they met a VIP like him, the lobby manager wouldn’t hesitate to come up and flatter him personally.

“President Shao, you brought friends again. It’s such an honor. Let me introduce these two gentlemen. I want to get to know them too!” The lobby manager took a quick glance at the three of them and quickly figured out which one was the real wealthy customer. He immediately took out a good cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Wei Yuhuan.

Wei Yuhuan took the cigarette and nodded, remaining silent and letting Shao Yongyang do the talking.

Shao Yongyang said, “Manager Wang, don’t be so polite. This is my friend from childhood. His surname is Wei, Mr. Wei. And this gentleman next to him is a friend I’ve known for years, Mr. Qi. We just came here today to relax and chat over some tea. Can you arrange a private room and have a waitress serve us?”

“Sure!” The manager called out for a server to pick the best private room.

“Wait a minute,” Wei Yuhuan looked around and pointed to Xiao Xie, who had unconsciously taken a few steps back. “This young man who greeted us earlier, I think he has a good look. Let him come in and serve us tea.”

Xiao Xie was about to slip away quietly, but he froze in place when he heard Wei Yuhuan’s words.

“Um, you said Xiao Xie?” The manager scratched his head, thinking that Wei Yuhuan might not be familiar with their situation and explained somewhat awkwardly, “Mr. Wei, Xiao Jiang works as a receptionist outside and doesn’t know how to make tea. Don’t worry, I will find a smart girl for you later!”

Xiao Jiang also nodded vigorously, instinctively feeling that the surname Wei was a bit suspicious, so he subconsciously wanted to stay away from this person.

Wei Yuhuan raised one eyebrow and put on a posture of “if you can’t even meet this request, why bother running a shop.”

Without a word, Shao Yongyang took out his wallet from his pocket and pulled out a stack of money. The thickness was at least one or two thousand. He handed it directly to Manager Wang and then lifted his chin in Xiao Jiang’s direction.

Manager Wang was experienced and immediately understood!

It is estimated that Mr. Wei is attracted to handsome men, and Xiao Xie is indeed cute. People only asked him to make tea and did not make any other excessive demands. Moreover, Mr. Wei knew that they do not provide that kind of service, so he should not deliberately make things difficult.

These thoughts only happened in a second, and Manager Wang walked towards Xiao Jiang, shielding Shao Yongyang and the others. He took half of the money from the stack and stuffed it into Xiao Jiang’s hand, giving him a hint with his eyes: “You go in and chat with Mr. Wei.”

Xiao Jiang was still a little stunned, with his two eyes wide open and his face seemed to say “I don’t receive guests.” He had never encountered such a thing since he started working here!

Wei Yuhuan turned to him with a smiling face, “I don’t need you to make tea. Come in and chat.”

Xiao Jiang: “…”

Manager Wang glared at him, and it seemed that Xiao Jiang would have nothing good to eat if he didn’t agree.

Xiao Jiang clenched the thick wad of money and gritted his teeth. He thought to himself, “Okay, you have money, you are the boss! I am not a woman, why be afraid? Let’s go!”
