Gambling

  Lin Qiang ignored him, pushed the door out, and found his mother chatting with the waiter in the hall. He took out a business card and looked at it, on which was written "Fang Qing". Lin Qiang didn't care whether it was true or false, and went forward to strike up a conversation.

  "Boss Fang, business is good, huh?"

  "Ah?" Mimi was taken aback for a moment before breaking into a smile. "Boss, just call me Xiao Qing, are you satisfied, miss?"

  "Hmm, I'm satisfied. There's something I want to discuss with you," Lin Qiang said, pulling Fang Qing towards a less crowded corner, avoiding the service staff.

  Fang Qingyi smiled and roughly guessed what he was going to ask.

  "Want me to take Lele away?" Lin Qiang pretended to be a lecherous look.

  "This is...," Fang Qing said with difficulty, "Le Le won't go on stage, you're making things difficult for me."

  "Hey, how much?"

  Fang Qing was really in a difficult situation this time: "There were guests who mentioned it before, and I also told Lele about it, but it seems like she only planned to make some small tips, not to go on stage."

  "Is it 2000 lines?"

  "Ah..." Fang Qing slapped her thigh and laughed, "I'm telling you, this Lele is so clueless. We have plenty of sensible girls here. You're so young and spirited, everyone's fighting over you. Why don't I introduce two more to you?"

  "No way, I want her." Lin Qiang was very persistent.

  "This...," Fang Qing shook her head, "it depends on your own luck, I said she doesn't listen, this child is very stubborn."

  Lin Qiang finally felt at ease, it seemed that Ling Lele had not suffered a big loss yet.

  "How old is she this year?" Lin Qiang asked, changing the subject.

  "This one, 18." Fang Qing's expression also slightly froze.

  "No, she's 16, a high school student from the girls' school next door." Lin Qiang suddenly raised his tone and asked, "Your company still has rules, right? Isn't this age a bit too young?"

  "Huh? High school student, I don't know anyway." Fang Qing spread her hands and said, "We're all fake in this line of work, no one will reveal their true identity, so stop guessing randomly."

  "I've seen her at school." Lin Qiang stepped closer to Fang Qing, "To be honest with you, I know her parents. If you don't want this matter to blow up, you'd better go in and fire her now. I'll pretend I didn't see anything."

  "What do you mean?" Fang Qing also furrowed her brow, "Threatening me?"

  "Yes, it's a threat." Lin Qiang nodded.

  "Heh, don't joke around." Fang Qing's face also fell, knowing that this guy was looking for trouble. "With such threats, we're really not afraid. Nowadays, who doesn't have a backer?"

  "I'm not playing dumb with you, I know more about what's going on inside than anyone else." Lin Qiang stared at Fang Qing, saying word by word, "I'm telling you, this girl is sneaking out behind her family's back, and her father isn't easy to deal with either. If something happens, it'll be bad luck for all of you."

  "Wow, you're really good at talking." Fang Qing said with a disdainful expression, having seen many people who liked to brag. "One mouthful after another 'her father isn't soft', if her father wasn't soft would the girl be able to do this? Would the young lady be able to do this? Don't tease me."

  "Don't understand the situation." Lin Qiang waved his arm and said impatiently, "Is the boss in? I'll talk to him."

  "Unfortunately, I'm the boss." Fang Qing smiled playfully and pinched Lin Qiang's shoulder. "Young man, I advise you to just have fun and not try to be a hero. If you don't want to play, then don't come. If you keep bothering me, I'll call security."

  Lin Qiang knew that the "security guards" in such places mostly had some local background, to put it bluntly, they were just thugs. Confronting them here without knowing any kung fu would definitely end in defeat.

  Fang Qing saw Lin Qiang somewhat softened, and then leaned into his ear and whispered: "Not to mention that I didn't deceive you, the student sisters who come to our place are not just Lele alone. If you want to, I can introduce more to you, some of whom can even stay overnight."

  Then she patted Lin Qiang again and advised, "Let's go our separate ways, make our own money, looking for trouble will trouble everyone."

  "You're making money like this is courting death, I've given you a chance to discuss it." Lin Qiang shook his head, knowing that talking to her again was useless, turned around and left, silently pressing the end recording button on his phone.

  Back in the room, Ling Lele was already lying on the sofa, drunk, and because her skirt was too short, it was even a bit revealing.

  Zheng Shuai stared blankly at Lin Qiang: "Lin Lao Da, tonight I can give you a place to stay, in the next room..."

  Lin Qiang couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. It seemed that Zheng Shuai and the others hadn't recognized Ling Lele after all, which was a blessing in disguise. The fewer people who knew about this matter, the better; otherwise, Xia Xin would really go crazy.

  "I'm not going with you..." Ling Lele waved her hands vigorously, "I want... to go back to the dormitory..."

  Lin Qiang sighed, it seemed that her heart was still kind, but he didn't know why she had become like this, maybe because her family was too strict, or maybe her parents were too busy.

  He waved his hand and said to Xiao Xiao: "You help Xiaozao send her back to Longyuan Girls' School."

  "What?!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "She's a student?!"

  "Ah, I just asked about it."

  "How can this be? It's still so young!"

  "Yes." Lin Qiang instructed, "Don't tell others about this, and don't let the school people find out. A girl's reputation is important."

  "Uh-huh." Xiao Xiao walked over to Lele's side and nudged her. "Let's go, little sister, I'll see you home."

  "Hmm... I'm so tired..." Ling Lele struggled to get up, stumbled, and fell into Lin Qiang's arms again. "You're bad... tricking me into drinking."

  Lin Qiang reluctantly hugged her, with one hand picking up her handbag and secretly dialing a number on her phone for himself, remembering her number: "Rest well today, I'll find you next time."

  "Next time... no next time... I'm going back to the dorm." Ling Lele drunkenly patted Lin Qiang.

  A group of people hastily ended their joyful trip and escorted Ling Lele out.

  In the hall, Fang Qing saw this and hurried over, frowning at Lin Qiang and saying: "What do you mean? Kidnapping someone."

  "It's really not necessary, my friend will send her back to the dormitory." Lin Qiang nodded at Xiao Xiao.

  Fang Qing turned to look at Ling Le and asked: "Are we going back?"

  "Uh... I'm going back..."

  Since it was her own decision to leave, Fang Qing didn't say anything else and just gave Lin Qiang a fierce stare: "Welcome next time."

  "It will come." Lin Qiang pushed Fang Qing away and walked out.

  ……

  That night, Lin Qiang pondered for a long time and still came alone to the balcony, dialing Xia Xian's phone number.

  He decided to take a gamble.

  Lost, will suffer Xiaoxin's resentment and guard against.

  Winning will once again open the door to promotion and regain its former glory.

  The stakes are just Ling Lele.

  Although it was already 11 o'clock at night, Xia Xing answered the phone very quickly.
