He won 900 million in the lottery.

There are always two gatherings whenever we have a meal together.

What is a second round? It means that if you're not satisfied with the first round, you want to drink again. Where do you drink? At a karaoke bar.

The eldest brother just bought a Volvo EM90 and spent over 3 yuan on modifications. Rich people are just rich.

Led by Haitao, we went to a mysterious KTV... well, actually, it was one we'd never been to before. Haitao is a womanizer; after graduating from university, I spent my time back in my hometown trying out all sorts of entertainment venues, so I had to bring him along for both of our outings!

Me: "Holy crap, bro, how did you find this place?"

I patted Haitao on the shoulder and looked at a small road ahead of the car. The car followed into the road and found a courtyard.

Before I even got out of the car, I saw a group of girls walking through the KTV lobby, all dressed in matching high-slit white tulle dresses...

Zhang Luode: "Haitao, it has to be you again!"

Zhao Chu: "Awesome, bro!"

The private rooms on the third floor have their own restrooms, and there is a fire elevator at the back door.

I went in and glanced around: "Hey bro, grabbing Haitao's shoulder, not bad, why didn't you mention this place before?"

Haitao: "I heard from Liu Yiting that she used to work here, so I came to experience it for myself."

I gave him another thumbs up: "You're really something. By the way, what's going on between you and Liu Yiting? Is it just a physical relationship or something more serious?"

Haitao: "Needless to say, it's definitely about sex. However, she also wants to learn how to get out of this situation, so I gave her a way, and the rest is up to her."

Me: "Okay then, we were actually short of a PR person."

Haitao: "What do you mean?"

Me: "I'm planning to set up a construction company and do it regularly, so the company is missing a female pillar."

Haitao: "Let her come!"

Me: "Didn't you say she was going to go ashore?"

Haitao: "Being a housewife is also a way to get out of poverty; she even has sisters."

Me: "Okay, you go and communicate with them. If it doesn't work, we'll have to train someone else."

Haitao nodded.

The reason I talk to Haitao so much is because we have a good relationship, and when it comes to investments, I always give the orders I want. Although I didn't make money following him before, I keep clear accounts, and I'm willing to accept losses. We're brothers, so we should keep track of profits and losses.

Haitao called the manager over, and in less than 20 minutes, the private room was transformed into a scene of revelry and debauchery.

At that moment, Dongling called.

broken!

I quickly ran out to another available room to connect to the video call.

Dong Ling: "What are you doing?"

Me: "I had dinner with some friends, and then we went to karaoke."

Dong Ling: "Hmph, he hasn't called me these past two days."

Me: "I was worried you'd be too busy. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I was planning to go to Beijing to see you."

Dong Ling: "Hmph, at least you have a conscience."

Me: "I'm planning to set up a construction company."

He explained the plan to her in just three minutes of the video, and Dong Ling frowned: "Is this in such a hurry?"

Me: "He's anxious, but I'm not. After all, it's a battle of wits."

Dongling: "There's too much money involved. If you don't handle it properly, you'll collapse. Let's talk about it after we come to Beijing."

Me: "Okay, there's still a lot I haven't told you."

Dong Ling: "I called to tell you that I'm coming to Beijing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'll be bringing my mom, uncles, and aunts over. This is the first traditional festival after our engagement."

Understood, we must make it a big event!

Me: "I know, I know what I'm doing, the car has already been borrowed."

Dong Ling: "Take the high-speed rail, driving is too tiring. I'll pick you up at the station."

Me: "It's not impossible."

The call ended.

I was in such a hurry to leave that I bumped into someone. That person wasn't very strong, and I knocked them to the ground.

The other person: "Ouch, that hurts!"

I glanced down and said, "What a coincidence, it's an acquaintance, Sun Ce from the Discipline Inspection Commission."

I could clearly see the evasive look in his eyes: "Brother Sun, what a coincidence!"

Sun Ce was a little embarrassed: "President Shen, what a coincidence."

After the last time he rescued the damsel in distress, the bar project fell through, and they lost contact. I never expected to have such a chance encounter here. They say you should get up wherever you fall, and Sun Ce really listened to the old sayings.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, so I tried to start a conversation: "Which room are you in?"

Sun Ce gritted his teeth; he didn't want to be the only one to suffer: "The White House, Jiehui and the others are here too!"

Okay, so you betrayed your brothers so quickly, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have leverage over the four of them. And Sun Ce is quick-witted. The fact that I was able to pull all four of them out proves that we have some connection. All he needs to do is keep Zhang Jiehui, Zhou Youji, and Wang Weiping firmly together, which will definitely be useful to me.

Me: "Are there any other people?"

Sun Ce: "There are only the four of us."

I nodded: "Let's go, I'll go offer a toast."

Since we intend to use them, we should first be courteous and then resort to force; we must give them enough face!

Sun Ce led me into the private room. As soon as we entered, Zhang Jiehui stood up immediately when he saw me. It was a kind of stress response. He already had ulterior motives towards Qiuya, and he was even more afraid of me.

Zhou Youji and Wang Weiping realized that Sun Ce was following behind me and immediately stood up. When the four beauties in the room saw this, they wanted to stand up and run away.

Me: "Don't panic, I'm here to offer a toast."

To Zhang Jiehui's astonishment, I picked up a bottle of wine and opened it myself: "Brothers, it's fate that we met here. Come on, let's have a drink."

After saying that, he drank the whole bottle of wine in one gulp.

The four of them inexplicably drank a bottle as well.

After finishing my drinks, I made eye contact with each of the four men until no one was looking at me. Then I asked, "Is your phone still working okay?"

"good."

"Can."

"That's good."

Me: "I just got some new tea leaves; I'll pick them up tomorrow when I have time."

The four people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Me: "It's free. Have fun."

After leaving, I returned to the private room.

Zhang Luode: "Why did it take you so long? What happened?"

Me: "It's okay. Come on, keep drinking. By the way, we don't need the car that day."

Zhang Luode: "Understood."

Four hours later.

Me: "How are you feeling now that you're sober?"

Why drink beer after drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor)? Because the alcohol in KTVs is diluted with water, making you more and more sober.

Me: "The third match?"

Haitao was the first to jump up: "Boss Shen, you were amazing today! The arrangements were absolutely perfect!"

In our circle, the rule is that to have a good time, the first thing we do is drink and eat.

I'll go to karaoke again to find my sister.

The last game, let's take a shower and play cards!

We play all sorts of games. When there are few of us, we play Sichuan Mahjong and Tuibing; when there are many, we play Texas Hold'em. Among us, Haitao is the most enthusiastic. He's the kind of person who's bad at games but loves to play, and we all know him well.

Me: "I'm leaving!"

I used Haitao's card today.

The cost of drinks and the cost of the princess are settled separately.

Receptionist: "Boss, the cost of the drinks will be deducted directly from your card."

Haitao: "Okay, girl, give him the money back."

I took out cash from my pocket. It was 400 per coin, 1600 for four people. I have a quirk: I just love using cash.

At that moment, someone from the front desk came over and handed me a card.

"Hello, you are a friend of the boss. This VIP card is a gift from the boss."

Holy crap.

"Boss Shen, where did you go just now?!"

That was some serious showing off, I'm absolutely thrilled!

Me: "Put it at the front desk."
