Chapter Fifty: A Woman's Ambition

  When Li Sansheng returned to the room opened by Yu'er at the Shangri-La Hotel, this demon was wearing a bathrobe lying on the sofa watching TV and had fallen asleep. Her chest was slightly exposed, and her legs were exposed in the air, making Li Sansheng feel a little embarrassed. Li Sansheng picked up the demon and hugged her around the waist. Yu'er slept very soundly, like a child, and pushed Li Sansheng gently without worrying about who the man entering the room was. Li Sansheng couldn't help but laugh at this girl who didn't even know who had sold her. He went online to read the news, then took a cold shower, a habit he had cultivated for over ten years. At first, taking a cold shower was uncomfortable, but who could imagine a child of only a few years old washing in cold water on a winter day with temperatures below zero? It wasn't that he didn't want to take a hot shower, it's just that his grandfather and he couldn't afford coal. Over time, he got used to it, and now it had been over ten years.

  After drinking more than half a pot of tea, Li Sansheng woke up from his drunkenness, but his head still hurt a bit. As drowsiness came over him, he spent the night on the sofa in his pajamas.

  In the morning, it was Yu'er who woke up Li San Sheng. This little demon was kneeling on the carpet with her bare feet, leaning against the sofa and holding something to disturb Li San Sheng. Li San Sheng slept relatively lightly, so Yu'er only needed a few movements to wake him up. When Li San Sheng opened his eyes, he saw that it was already after 6 o'clock. Yu'er had an 8 o'clock flight and wanted to get up, but she pressed down on Li San Sheng with a slight anger, not letting him get up. She interrogated Li San Sheng about what time he came back last night, whether he had been fooling around with women, under the pretext of taking care of his future sister-in-law's household. Li San Sheng responded vaguely and casually, seven parts true and three parts false. After all, there was still a beautiful woman in the next room who he had brought back himself last night and could dispose of at will. If Yu'er found out, this woman would definitely not give him a good face when she left today.

  Yu'er, refreshed and rejuvenated, started to tidy herself up with a spring in her step. Li San Sheng put on his clothes and practiced a set of Yang-style Tai Chi and authentic Bajiquan in the room, combining hardness and softness in perfect harmony.

  It wasn't until Yu had finished packing that half an hour had passed, which gave Li Sansheng a headache. After finishing packing his things, Yu hooked her arm around Li Sansheng's and they left the hotel. At the hotel entrance, Li Sansheng happened to run into the front desk receptionist who was on duty last night. The receptionist stood there in stunned silence, watching as Li Sansheng completed the check-out procedures and left the Shangri-La.

  Two people ate a little breakfast not far away, a bowl of meatball hot and sour soup with three fried dough sticks, this is the favorite set meal for these people who have been in Xi'an for three years.

  Last night, Aunt Zhao had already made arrangements. Originally, Aunt Zhao was going to take Yu'er herself, but something came up at the last minute and she couldn't make it, so she let her driver come over to take Li Sansheng and Yu'er to the airport. It just so happened that Aunt Zhao had some things to discuss with Li Sansheng, and on the way back, they could also drop him off.

  At the hotel entrance, they had already seen Zhao's Range Rover with a license plate ending in 1819, which was the birthday of Mingyue and Yuanshan. The driver had finished his breakfast and waited for Lisan and Yuer to finish theirs before heading straight to the airport.

  At the airport, Yu'er was reluctant to bid farewell to Li San Sheng. She had been holding back her tears and refused to cry in front of him. She said many things like "Third Brother, don't be too hard on yourself, don't suffer losses, don't let others bully you. We know that Third Brother has never cared about these things, but we do."

  Finally mustered up the courage to kiss Li San Sheng and then quickly turned around to enter the crowd, Li San Sheng saw this girl turn around and fiercely wipe away tears, his heart felt a bit unwell.

  Mr. Wang, Zhao's driver, naturally had a familiar relationship with Li Sansheng. Li Sansheng never treated Mr. Wang as just a driver, but instead showed him respect and humility without any arrogance. To be honest, Li Sansheng admired Mr. Wang for putting aside his own future to become Zhao's driver, something that Li Sansheng himself couldn't do at this level.

  Wang Shu used to be the driver of Deputy Director Guan, who was the husband of Aunt Zhao and the Executive Vice Director of the Provincial Department. As a result of his relationship with Aunt Zhao's family, he had a strong background and real power. At that time, there were rumors that Deputy Director Guan might be transferred to another province as the Secretary of the Provincial Politics and Law Committee, but something happened during this critical period, and in the end, he even lost his life.

  Wang Shu used to be a special forces soldier from the Lanzhou Military Region. After retiring, he became a driver for Deputy Director Guan. Deputy Director Guan had taken good care of Wang Shu's family back then. So when Deputy Director Guan got into trouble, Wang Shu left his job in the system despite everyone's objections and continued to work as a driver for the Guan family. This kind of spirit is admirable. Moreover, given Wang Shu's special forces background, Li Sansheng didn't dare look down on him at all.

  "Uncle Wang, have a cigarette." After getting out of the airport and into the car, Li Sansheng tossed Uncle Wang a cigarette, still as nimble as a monkey climbing a tree, incredibly powerful.

  "You still know my taste." Wang Shu smiled and took over the cigarette, Li San Sheng took out a lighter to light it for him.

  Wang Shu is now in his thirties, still with the most common short hair in the army, wearing tight camouflage, and his explosive muscles are still hard to hide. Li San Sheng had once sparred with Wang Shu before, Wang Shu didn't have any fancy moves, but he was a master of genuine killing techniques, having mastered General Body Fist and grappling skills to perfection. Li San Sheng was naturally no match for him.

  "He eats meat in big mouthfuls, drinks liquor in big gulps, and smokes cigarettes in big puffs," Li Sansheng said with a laugh, revealing Uncle Wang's hobbies.

  "Hey, kiddo! It's been ages since I've seen you, where have you been?" The two of them were cruising with the sunroof open in the Range Rover, spewing out clouds of smoke. In fact, most of the time Aunt Zhao didn't need Uncle Wang to drive her around; she had a very ordinary orange Beetle that she drove herself most of the time, and the Range Rover was rarely used, mostly just for Uncle Wang to pick up Mingyue and Yuanshan from school every day.

  "Went to Shennongjia as a savage, almost died there" Li Sansheng laughed and patted his thigh, this is the truth, although he didn't go to Shennongjia but lost in northern Shaanxi, it's really almost died there.

  "Scram, you little brat still haven't told me the truth!" Wang Shu scolded with a smile.

  Aunt Zhao was actually quite good to Uncle Wang, the house that Uncle Wang lived in was allocated by the Public Security Bureau when Deputy Director Guan was in office. Every month, Aunt Zhao would give Uncle Wang a salary of 8,000 yuan, not too much or too little. During holidays and festivals, she would also give him some gifts. It was also Aunt Zhao who helped find a job for Uncle Wang's wife at China Mobile in Xi'an, where life is still quite enjoyable in this first-tier city.

  After finishing the cigarette, Li San Sheng and Wang Shu went back home, Zhao Yi had called to wait for Li San Sheng in the clubhouse.

  After arriving at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square, Li Sansheng entered the club alone. The beautiful girl at the entrance saw him and showed a look of admiration. Li Sansheng couldn't help but scratch his head, wondering if he had suddenly become popular. Because outside, the sky started to drizzle with fine rain, there were not many people inside the club, only a few young women chatting and drinking coffee on the first floor.

  The first floor is decorated in a European style, suitable for young professionals like Li Sansheng. The relationship between the girls on the first floor and Li Sansheng is quite good. In comparison to the elegant and refined atmosphere of the second floor, where Qingmei, Zhulan, Guyue, and Jingling reside, the girls on the first floor have a more petit-bourgeois feel. Lin Qingya, Gu Yue, Zhao Jing, and Zhao Ling are always chattering away, creating a stark contrast to the elegant atmosphere of the second floor. Zhao Jing and Zhao Ling are sisters, but they have different styles despite both being beautiful.

  "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Third Brother, that's not very nice of you. Last time at the club, you avoided us on purpose. If it wasn't for Yuan Shan telling us later, we really wouldn't have known. Is it because we're not as pretty as Qingmei and Zhulan?" Li San Sheng had just arrived on the first floor when he was caught by Lin Qing Ya, who was reading a book at the entrance. Lin Qing Ya pulled Li San Sheng to one side and began scolding him with a resentful expression.

  It's actually hard for outsiders to guess Li Sansheng's age, except for those who are relatively familiar with him. Outsiders really can't guess it. Li Sansheng doesn't look old, he just has a lot of experiences. When the years have worn away the sharp edges on his face and in his heart, he naturally becomes more mature. This maturity is not based on time.

  What makes a person mature and weathered is experience, not age. So, although Li San Sheng is only 20 years old, he gives the impression of being a 24 or 25-year-old man. This was also the case when Bingbing found out about Li San Sheng's age at Su He and was shocked. Ma Zi Qiang and the others didn't know that Li San Sheng was a university student, so they couldn't be sure either. It has to be said that this gave Li San Sheng a natural mask. The beautiful women and handsome men in the club also didn't know about Li San Sheng's age. However, if Zhao Yi weren't there, then Li San Sheng would have been the absolute master of the club.

  Li Sansheng scolded Guan Yushan thousands of times in his heart, the fortress is always breached from the inside.

  "Beautiful, this dress makes you shine in front of everyone's eyes!" Li Sansheng could only coax Lin Qingya. Women rely on coaxing, this is the truth.

  "Really?" Lin Qingya asked, turning around.

  "More precious than pearls", Li Sansheng nodded without hesitation and replied affirmatively.

  Gu Yu was grinding coffee at the bar, Zhao Jing and Zhao Ling, two beautiful women, were greeting customers. There was also a boy who seemed to be new, and when he saw Li San Sheng, his face showed hostility. In the entire clubhouse, including Li San Sheng, there were only four men. Previously, it was Xiao Guo and another boy, as well as the kitchen staff. Li San Sheng didn't notice last time, but now he realized that the other boy had left, and Xiao Guo, also known as Guozi, was still here, but had found this new boy.

  Li Sansheng greeted a few girls on the first floor and then went up to the third floor, where Aunt Zhao was waiting for him.

  After arriving at the Tianzi Hao private room, Li San Sheng saw Zhao Yi with a look of intoxication holding an erhu, and on the table in front of her was a pot of Tieguanyin tea, which Li San Sheng could smell.

  Aunt Zhao saw Li San Sheng come in, her eyes suddenly opened wide, and she looked at Li San Sheng and said, "San Sheng, what do you think if I build a top-notch private club in the northwest?"

  Women also have ambition, it's just that they know how to hide it and it's hard to detect.
