Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

The welcoming banquet lasted until late at night.

After a few bottles of Wuliangye, everyone was a little tipsy.

Ma San and Er Gou sang off-key songs with their arms around each other's shoulders, while Da Zhuang lay on the table snoring. Only Monkey was still somewhat awake, tapping his chopsticks on the table.

Shen Zhou's alcohol tolerance was clearly low; his face was as red as a monkey's bottom, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

Chen Feng knew that the fire in this kid's heart had been completely ignited.

"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now."

Chen Feng stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "We have important business to attend to tomorrow, so don't drink too much."

The monkey quickly called the waiter to settle the bill and arranged for the driver to take the drunk people back home.

Chen Feng personally escorted Shen Zhou back to his dormitory at the battlefield.

"Brother Chen, I..." Shen Zhou stood at the dormitory door, hesitant to speak.

"We can talk about it tomorrow."

Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder, "Get a good night's sleep tonight and take care of yourself. We'll have plenty of tough battles to fight later."

Shen Zhou nodded heavily and watched Chen Feng leave.

……

The next morning, Chen Feng was awakened by a series of urgent phone calls.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, reached for his phone on the bedside table, and glanced at the caller ID.

It was an unfamiliar number, but the last four digits "69" indicated that the owner was no ordinary person.

"Feed?"

"Mr. Chen, I am Xiao Ma."

A calm, unwavering voice came from the other end of the phone.

He was Ninth Master's personal bodyguard, the martial arts expert with prominent temples.

"Brother Ma, what a rare guest."

Chen Feng immediately sat up straight, his tone becoming polite, "What instructions do you have?"

"Ninth Master asked me to inform you that there will be a 'Moon Appreciation Party' at the top floor of the Donghai Hotel at 7 PM the day after tomorrow."

"A moon-viewing party?"

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment.

He was a low-level worker, and although he has now risen to a position, he is still completely baffled by this kind of seemingly refined banquet.

Xiao Ma seemed to sense Chen Feng's confusion and, unusually, offered a few more words of explanation:

"This is an annual grand event in Donghai City, held around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. At that time, prominent figures in Donghai City's business community, important political figures, and several 'leaders' from the four districts of the east, west, south, and north will all be present."

Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat.

This is more than just a meal; it's an entry ticket to Donghai City's top social circles!

"Ninth Master said that you've now taken over Mad Dog Qiang's business, which means you're the number one person in Nancheng now. You need to show your face in this kind of situation, get to know people, and let others get to know you. Ninth Master wants you to be prepared and not embarrass Nancheng."

"Understood. Please tell Ninth Master that I will arrive on time."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng lit a cigarette, but his brows gradually furrowed.

Moon-viewing party...

Ninth Master is about to formally introduce him to the bigwigs of Donghai City.

This is both a recognition and a test.

In such situations, his every move would be observed and remembered.

If he performs well, his position in the East China Sea will be more secure; if he performs poorly, he will become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

If you're going, you should go looking your best.

……

10:00 AM, Sand Field Office.

Chen Feng called Da Zhuang over and recounted the events of the moon-viewing party.

A moon-viewing party?

Da Zhuang's eyes lit up. "Brother Feng, this is a big event! Everyone who can attend this gathering is either rich or powerful! Ninth Master is really trying to promote you!"

"I can flatter, but I fucking can't do it."

Chen Feng said with a bitter face, "I'm just a country bumpkin. I'm good at murder and arson, but when it comes to Western food, wine, and philosophical discussions, I'm completely clueless. If I make a fool of myself, it won't just be me who loses face, but also Ninth Master's."

Dazhuang was also in a dilemma.

He also came from humble beginnings and was completely ignorant of the rules and etiquette of high society.

"How about... we ask Sister Hong?"

Dazhuang tentatively said.

"no."

Chen Feng immediately rejected the idea, saying, "Sister Hong's identity is sensitive... If we take her, Ninth Master will lose face."

Chen Feng paced back and forth in his office, mentally going through all the women he knew.

Lin Fang?

Liu Yu?

No, no, these two girls are pretty, but they both come from the countryside and have never seen such a big scene. They'll probably be even more nervous than him if they go.

Just when Chen Feng was at his wit's end, Monkey pushed open the door and came in, holding a newspaper in his hand and humming a little tune.

"Brother Feng, what's trotting your head? Your eyebrows are practically twisted into a knot."

As soon as Chen Feng explained the situation, the monkey's eyes darted around, and he slapped his thigh:

"Isn't that simple? There's a ready-made candidate!"

"Who?"

"Hao Mei!"

The monkey exclaimed excitedly, "Think about it! She's a top reporter and the daughter of the police chief—a true lady of high society! What kind of grand occasions hasn't she seen? What kind of etiquette doesn't she know? Plus, she's beautiful; it's such a status symbol to take her out!"

Chen Feng's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.

"She's a good candidate... but this old lady is angry with me right now."

Thinking back to that night when Hao Mei saw Lin Fang and Liu Yu in their pajamas at home, Chen Feng felt a headache coming on.

He's been busy taking over the territory these past few days and hasn't had time to go and appease them.

Asking for help now is like walking into the line of fire, isn't it?

"Brother Feng, it's up to you now."

The monkey chuckled, "As the saying goes, even a fierce woman can be won over by persistent pursuit. If you can win over this thorny rose, you'll definitely be the most dazzling person at the banquet the day after tomorrow!"

Chen Feng thought it made sense, gritted his teeth, and stubbed out his cigarette.

"Damn it, I'm going all in! I'm going to risk it all!"

This is not just about saving face, but also about gaining a foothold in the top circles of Donghai City.

5:30 p.m., downstairs from the Donghai Daily building.

Chen Feng leaned against the Santana, lit a cigarette, and stared at the newspaper office entrance.

He went to the barbershop to get his hair done, shaved his stubble, and put on a slightly more presentable white shirt.

Leaning against the car door, Chen Feng held a cigarette between his fingers, his eyes fixed on the newspaper office's entrance.

At six o'clock sharp, the flow of people leaving get off work surged out.

Soon, that familiar figure appeared.

Hao Mei was wearing a beige business suit and high heels today. Her burgundy hair was tied into a high ponytail, making her look capable and aloof.

She was holding a stack of documents and talking to her colleague, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was in a bad mood.

"Hao Mei! Reporter Hao!"

Chen Feng strode forward to greet him, his face plastered with his signature roguish grin.

When Hao Mei heard the sound, she turned around and her already unpleasant expression instantly turned cold, as if a layer of frost could be scraped off.

She completely ignored Chen Feng and quickened her pace to walk in the opposite direction.

"Hey! Reporter Hao! Heroine! Wait for me!"

Chen Feng wasn't about to let her get away; he chased after her in two steps and stood in front of her.

"A good dog doesn't block the way."

Hao Mei looked at him coldly, "Get out of my way."

"I won't allow it."

Chen Feng grinned shamelessly, "It's been days! I've missed you so much! Can we chat?"

"What are you talking about? Your 'older sisters' at home?"

Hao Mei crossed her arms, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "What, didn't those two ladies cook for you today? Or has Boss Chen expanded his harem and come here for an interview?"
