Pedestrians thronged outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Sun Yu withdrew her gaze, gritted her teeth, and said, "Fine, if you try anything funny in front of me, I'll make you..."

Xia Tingwan waved her hand, interrupting her: "Don't worry, boss, my brother works for your brother, and I'll work for you."

"We've been in the same boat as you for a long time."

Sun Yu thought what she said made sense, and pursed her lips: "Okay."

"If you sincerely help me, I will agree to your conditions and stop bothering Lin Jianshen."

Xia Tingwan nodded, picked up the coffee in front of her, and took a small sip.

We finally got Sun Yu under control.

After all, Sun Yu is only eighteen years old and has just graduated from high school.

The feeling of relief lasted only a moment before she began to worry about Lin Jianshen again.

Both were preoccupied with their own thoughts and fell silent.

Fortunately, the soft, soothing jazz music playing in the store filled the void between the two, making the atmosphere less awkward.

Suppressing her emotions, Xia Tingwan asked, "Boss, did you bring bodyguards?"

Sun Yu nodded: "I brought two, they're nearby. I'll make a call, they'll be there in two minutes."

Xia Tingwan smiled and said, "That's good."

Sun Yu asked in confusion, "How is it alright?"

Xia Tingwan said, "In that case, I can take you somewhere with peace of mind."

Sun Yu asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Xia Tingwan laughed and said, "To celebrate the formation of our little team, I'll take you out for team building."

"To be honest, I was quite worried that those people would use other tricks, so I even hired two Meituan delivery riders to escort me here."

"With your bodyguards here, there shouldn't be any problems."

An hour later, Sun Yu sat on the drop tower at Happy Valley, looking down from dozens of meters above, and was so frightened that her face turned pale.

My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.

Xia Tingwan looked at her with a smile, her voice slightly ethereal in the wind: "Boss, how's it going? Exciting, isn't it?"

"Isn't it much more interesting than street racing?"

Sun Yu struggled to clear her tongue and muttered, "I must be crazy to come to a place like this for team building with you."

"Didn't you say that this place wasn't scary at all?"

"Otherwise, why would you come up here?" Xia Tingwan asked. "It might be scary, but it's guaranteed to be exciting."

"Boss, today your chief strategist and number one employee will help you completely relax, and also give you some stimulation desensitization training."

"Stimulus desensitization training?"

Xia Tingwan said, "That's right, your threshold for stimulation is too low. You're prone to acting impulsively and making irrational decisions."

"You have to break through this barrier, otherwise other men will use the same methods to hinder your career."

"I'm counting on you to pay my salary and help me get rich."

Sun Yu said, "Don't worry, since I've already made up my mind... ah..."

The bell rang, and the drop tower suddenly plummeted downwards.

All the blood seemed to rush to the top of my head.

Both of them simultaneously let out a desperate scream.

After the project was completed, both of their legs were shaking.

It was as soft as the noodles in Lin Jianshen's dinner bowl.

They had to help each other get off their seats.

Sun Yu's lips were trembling, but as the boss, she absolutely could not show fear in front of her employees.

She forced herself to remain calm and said, "It's definitely much more exciting than racing."

Xia Tingwan wasn't much better off than her.

After pausing for a moment, he said, "Boss, how about taking on the challenge of the haunted house?"

Sun Yu refused to back down: "If you dare, I dare!"

They arrived a bit late; the night visitors had already entered the park, and the streets were packed with people.

A long, zigzagging queue formed in front of the haunted house.

It looks like it will take almost an hour for them to get a turn.

At the front of the line were two college students. Sun Yu had his bodyguard walk up to them and gave each of them two hundred yuan.

The two of them took the money, gave up their seats to Sun Yu and Xia Tingwan, and then happily went to the back of the queue.

Xia Tingwan gave a thumbs up: "Money power! Impressive!"

Sun Yu was constantly being taken advantage of and criticized and educated by her father, making it difficult for her to obtain emotional value from those around her.

He was immediately charmed by Xia Tingwan and beamed with joy.

The two entered the haunted house.

This is a modified and upgraded version of the "Trendy Play Festival" specially launched by Happy Valley during the summer peak season.

There are four scenes inside.

The first scene is an "alien nest".

Under dim blue-violet lighting, the set features twisted metal pipes and sticky "biological tissue".

Suddenly, the mechanisms on the ground and walls activated.

A group of grotesquely shaped corpse models, resembling those parasitized by alien monsters, wriggle and crawl up and down in bizarre postures.

Pale, deformed, slimy hands almost touched their ankles.

Xia Tingwan screamed in terror, hiding behind Sun Yu and clutching her clothes tightly at her waist: "Aaaaaah...that's so scary!"

Sun Yu also yelled, "Xia Tingwan, you pinched my waist!"

Xia Tingwan quickly relaxed a little: "That's terrifying, boss. You lead the way."

As Sun Yu walked forward, she complained, "There are people who make their bosses lead the way? You're such a coward."

Sun Yu did not see the sly smile in Xia Tingwan's eyes behind her.

"You had people follow me and even went to my house to ambush me. It's not too much for me to pinch your waist a couple of times, is it?"

After a pause, Xia Tingwan praised from behind, "Boss, you're really brave. You're not afraid at all!"

"Then...of course..." Sun Yu tried to control her trembling legs and mechanically took a step forward.

She didn't forget to manage her expression, striking a pose with her head held high and chest puffed out. She stubbornly insisted, "To tell you the truth, I've always been bold since I was a child."

"Don't worry, as long as you do your job well, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Even at this point, they still haven't forgotten to win people's hearts.

Xia Tingwan's shoulders trembled violently.

Sun Yu thought she was scared, so without turning her head, she comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't shake, they're all fake, just props."

She finally felt a sense of superiority again and continued, "This kind of Western-style scene isn't scary at all."

"I'm telling you, only Chinese-style scenes are scary..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sun Yu let out a scream.

Because after turning a corner, we arrived at the second scene.

This scene is truly in a Chinese style.

The narrow passageway only allows two people to pass side by side.

The smoke machine spewed smoke, enveloping the entire scene in a misty haze, making the red lanterns hanging from the ceiling look extremely eerie.

A man-made bamboo grove rustled under the action of machinery.

Many zombies loomed in the bamboo forest.

Coffins were scattered along the passageway, and perhaps NPCs dressed as ghosts were still lying inside.

Sun Yu's heroic image could no longer be maintained; she let out heart-wrenching screams and hesitated to take a step.

If it weren't for the fact that the tourists behind them were quite attractive, they would have started to get impatient.

Sun Yu stammered, "Xia...Xia Tingwan! This time...this time it's your turn to go first!"

Xia Tingwan walked forward in a daze.

In the narrowest part of the passage, a hanged ghost was suspended.

The female ghost was beautiful, sticking out her tongue, and wearing a bright red robe, swaying gently with the rope.

Xia Tingwan looked at the female ghost, tears streaming down her face as she walked forward.

Sun Yu was so frightened she almost collapsed. She gripped Xia Tingwan's clothes tightly.

This scene is said to have terrified countless people, but Xia Tingwan kept walking forward, seemingly unafraid at all.

The next two scenes are a Japanese school ghost story and an abandoned hospital.

Xia Tingwan walked ahead.

In the dim light and amidst eerie sound effects, she remained remarkably calm in the face of suddenly appearing ghosts and a corpse abruptly sitting up on the hospital bed.

Her mother will protect her.

Sun Yu tugged at her clothes, barely managing to keep from crying.

Finally, as the last door was pushed open, a burst of loud music and a cacophony of voices flooded the air—they had come out.

Sun Yu's heart was still pounding, and those frightening scenes kept flashing through her mind.

She supported herself on her knees, panting heavily.

She didn't understand why these scenes, which were supposed to scare men to death, couldn't frighten Xia Tingwan.

"Xia Tingwan, how dare you!"

Her breathing calmed down a bit, and when she looked up, she found Xia Tingwan still staring blankly at the haunted house, tears streaming down her face.

Sun Yu sighed and gestured for the bodyguard to bring over the bag, from which she took out a pack of wet wipes.

Somewhat embarrassed, he said, "Sigh, I didn't get to switch you to the later scenes in the last two."

"But if you're scared, just tell me. We can always go out through the emergency exit. Why scare yourself like this?"

"Okay, okay, stop crying. I'll treat you to a matcha Frappuccino later."

Xia Tingwan wiped away her tears and slowly forced a smile: "Okay, thank you, boss."

Looking at the stars in the sky, Sun Yu suddenly asked softly, "Xia Tingwan, do you think I can really choose my own life?"
