After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 626 If it’s fake, it’s guaranteed to be replaced
Before we knew it, times had changed, and the dance halls began to decline.

Many cheap dance halls have begun to close down.

Fortunately, some high-end dance halls are still very popular and are important venues for socializing.

For many business social occasions, going up to hug and dance with the client—who could be the client himself, his secretary, or even his wife—is far more exciting than going to a nightclub and hiring hostesses.

"It seems like there are fewer dance halls lately."

It took Dong Lan a lot of effort to finally get Zhou Tai to come out.

There was also a female colleague, Jia Qingwen, by my side.

Zhou Haoran nodded. "The main reason is that young people's preferences change quickly. Now there are many new karaoke bars and internet cafes, which have attracted a lot of young people away."

"Disco too. I used to think disco was pretty cool, but now if I see someone dancing disco..." Dong Lan shook her head slightly, also feeling the changes of the times, "I think he's not a decent person."

"Ballroom dancing is still the mainstream."

Zhou Haoran must have come to a business dance hall specializing in ballroom dancing. In the heyday of disco, disco dance halls were just an auxiliary type of dance hall, with low prices and a weak atmosphere, only catering to young people who didn't have much money.

The city with the most trendy dance halls is undoubtedly the harbor.

As early as 84, the first dance hall in the country appeared in the harbor, which once sparked a great social debate. How could men and women hug and kiss in public?
Once we arrived at the dance hall, a waiter came over.

A warm introduction.

They say the VIP booths are great, like having a VIP pass, and that you get an "all-inclusive" price for dancing girls. If there are no VIP booths, the dancers are charged separately, which can add up to a lot of extra cost.

Zhou Haoran would not hire dancers.

However, we still went to the VIP booth area.

"Zhou Tai, I can't dance..."

After Jia Qingwen sat down, she began to feel nervous.

Zhou Haoran said nonchalantly, "It's okay, ballroom dancing is very simple. Just wiggle slowly and don't step on anyone."

Dong Lan smiled and said, "I'll have Zhou Tai show you around in a bit!"

Jia Qingwen bit her red lips and glanced at Zhou Haoran. "Director Zhou, then... then could you take me with you later?"

"can."

Zhou Haoran accepted the other party's suggestion.

Dong Lan joked, "Zhou Tai, Qingwen has been doing an excellent job since becoming the editor-in-chief. The ratings for 'Everyone's Art Up' have increased again. Aren't you going to reward her properly?"

Zhou Haoran asked, "What kind of reward do you want?"

Jia Qingwen immediately felt embarrassed and lowered her eyes, saying, "I'll take whatever Zhou Tai gives me."

"Just say what you want!"

Zhou Haoran has never been a petty person.

"I……"

Jia Qingwen opened her mouth, but the words wouldn't come out.

Seeing that she was useless, Dong Lan helped her out, saying, "Zhou Tai, Qingwen is a single mother raising a daughter, which is not easy for her. She wants to send her daughter to an international school, but it costs too much, and she doesn't have the money."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "Yes, the salary at the company is still too low."

“Zhou Tai, why don’t you give her some money? She’s willing to give anything…” Dong Lan suggested, then added angrily, “Jia Qingwen, say something!”

"I..." Jia Qingwen was embarrassed and dared not meet Zhou Haoran's eyes. "Zhou Tai, if you think I'm alright, then... then let me be your mistress."

"No, we're all colleagues."

Zhou Haoran would not accept such a relationship.

Dong Lan chuckled, "We have a master-servant relationship. At most, you'll be a concubine."

"A maid is fine too."

Jia Qingwen raised her eyelids, her eyes filled with longing.

“I don’t just hire anyone.” Zhou Haoran has his high standards and strict requirements. “Let’s try it out a few times first. If you want to serve me, you have to be good-natured, obedient and sensible.”

"She can do it, I can teach her!"

Dong Lan was very enthusiastic about this.

He became the biggest driving force behind their relationship, and there are several reasons why he was so enthusiastic about it.

First of all, she and Jia Qingwen are best friends.

Jia Qingwen is a single mother, and the tuition fees for her daughter's international school are too high, which she cannot afford. It's incredibly difficult for her to raise a child alone; without a man to rely on, things will only get harder in the future.

Secondly, there's the competition for favor.

She knew that this master was a carefree and pleasure-seeking man, much like Jia Baoyu, with countless first-class, second-class, and third-class maids around him, and vying for favor and securing it was an essential tactic.

And most importantly, there's the complexity of human nature.

Dong Lan knew that this relationship was abnormal.

Being both a master and a maid, constantly having to kneel down to express loyalty and submission, and recently having to cooperate with Lin Guiyan... In the quiet of the night, whenever she thinks about it, she feels a deep sense of shame and feels ashamed to face anyone.

Pull Jia Qingwen into the water.

We're all the same now.

Then I'll have the face to see her again, and my mindset will be balanced.

"Let's go dance first, and see if it's real or not." "Real or not?"

"Who knows if there's a prosthesis implanted in here?"

In this situation, Zhou Haoran made no attempt to hide his feelings, and his eyes naturally fell on Jia Qingwen's chest.

Dong Lan understood immediately and quickly went over to whisper something in Jia Qingwen's ear.

Jia Qingwen blushed slightly and quickly glanced at Zhou Haoran. Sure enough, she met his gaze, and her face turned even redder.

"Alright, go on! Listen to Zhou Tai!"

Dong Lan gave her a push.

Jia Qingwen bit her lip lightly, slowly stood up, and whispered, "Zhou Tai, I can't dance, can you teach me?"

"Well, let's go."

Zhou Haoran didn't stand on ceremony in the dance hall. He put his arm around her waist and they walked together toward the center of the dance floor.

Jia Qingwen was flustered and disoriented by the rotating neon lights above the dance floor, her heart pounding. She knew that once she took this step, there was little chance of turning back.

Is this really necessary?

seem……

I'm so sorry, daughter!
She also wanted to be a good role model for her daughter!
If she knew that her mother was this kind of person, what would she think when she grew up...

When the time came, Jia Qingwen's thoughts became complicated.

My mind went completely blank.

Feeling dizzy, Zhou Tai held her in his arms, gently swaying her body on the stage. The melodious music made her increasingly nervous. Until one moment, the lights went out.

The dark theater has arrived.

This is the real highlight of business entertainment.

The next moment, Jia Qingwen felt Zhou Tai pull her into his arms, the buttons of his trench coat were undone, and a pair of hands slipped into her sweater. Remembering what Dong Lan had said before she went on stage, her body tensed up immediately.

Zhou Haoran noticed her stiffness and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong? Are you nervous?"

"No, I'm not... not used to it." Jia Qingwen's voice trembled as she gently hugged his back. "Zhou Tai, I'm fine with anything, whatever you say."

The dance ended very quickly.

After the performance, the guests left the stage satisfied amidst laughter, eagerly awaiting the next dance.

As she left the stage, Jia Qingwen was no longer nervous as she had been on stage. A smile appeared on her delicate face as she leisurely said, "Standard Zhou, dancing is quite interesting. How about me?"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Not bad, it's really substantial."

“It’s true.” Jia Qingwen responded through her throat, then raised her voice, “Director Zhou, could you take some nude photos of me when you have time?”

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran thought to himself that this woman's change of heart was truly rapid.

Jia Qingwen took his arm and said naturally, "I want to take some photos to remember this while I'm still young. It's a bit late now. If I had known you ten years ago, I could have taken them then. I was in better shape back then."

Zhou Haoran chuckled, "I was ten years old ten years ago, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Jia Qingwen covered her mouth and chuckled.

Can't help laughing.

"Brother! Zhou Haoran!"

Just then, Zhou Haoran heard someone shout.

Looking back, it wasn't a stranger either; it was Jiang Feibiao, who was also with a woman on the dance floor.

When Jiang Feibiao saw that it really was him, he walked over with a beaming smile and said, "It really is you! What a coincidence! Oh my, where did you find such a stunning woman?"

Zhou Haoran cursed inwardly at his poor manners, but maintained a smile and said, "No, this is a colleague from my workplace."

"Have vision!"

Jiang Feibiao was very experienced and could tell at a glance that the two had a close relationship; his eyes were greedy.

Jia Qingwen's face flushed red.

Somewhat embarrassing.

I quickly pulled my trench coat tighter, feeling like a plaything.

Zhou Haoran also disliked Jiang Feibiao's behavior, so he told her to go back to the booth to find Dong Lan.

Jiang Feibiao also sent his female companion away, finally having some space to be alone with her. He whispered, "Brother, I heard you've been working on something big lately?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran only handles important matters; he never gets involved in trivial ones.

Jiang Feibiao asked, "Are you promoting cooperation between universities, enterprises, and local governments?"

“Yes.” Zhou Haoran nodded. “A state-owned enterprise that makes integrated circuits.”

"As expected of a master, you've got skills!" Jiang Feibiao gave a thumbs up. "My dad even praised you! He said he'd invite you over for dinner sometime!"

Zhou Haoran was reluctant to go, "Isn't this inconvenient?"

Jiang Feibiao lowered his voice, "The old man said that this matter is very likely to be implemented! Technological development is the main theme. Your leadership in coordinating the cooperation between Fudan University and the local government is very likely to set a good precedent, allowing local platforms to cooperate more with well-known universities in the port city! A great achievement!"
