Days in Hong Kong variety shows

Central, Wyndham Street.

'ROSE' is a large bar with an area of ​​about 9000 square feet. The bar is spread over two floors and has been favored by foreign executives working in office buildings in Central since its opening. In turn, it has attracted many local gold-collar workers and senior white-collar workers to dine there.

At midnight, the nightlife is just beginning.

Although most of the customers at 'ROSE' bar are high-level executives or white-collar workers, under the influence of alcohol, they all basically reveal their true nature.

Jessie and her group of young women were now surrounded at the bar by several patrons who were intoxicated and lusting after the women.

Two men, seeing that the women were trying their best to avoid them, were so emboldened that they actually tried to reach out and touch the girls.

Jessie, in particular, was the most beautiful among the group of girls. One of them even tried to put his arm around her shoulder, but instead got a glass of cold wine splashed in his face.

A soft "Get lost" escaped from the girl's red lips.

The surrounding patrons immediately started making a fuss. The man who had been splashed with wine became enraged and tried to grab Jesse's hand.

"Slap!" The person who reached out felt dizzy and staggered two steps before barely managing to stand. One side of their face visibly swelled up.

"Didn't you hear me? I told you to get lost." Cao Tai looked at him coldly.

One of the men with him reached out to push Mr. Cao, but Cao Tai grabbed his hand halfway through and gently twisted it backward.

A scream suddenly pierced the music in the bar.

"Sir, please don't cause trouble here!" Several bar security guards in uniform, holding walkie-talkies, squeezed in, and the burly man in the lead shouted at Cao Tai.

"Troublemaking?" Cao Tai coldly uttered two words, then turned to the bartender behind the bar. "These ladies were being harassed, and you didn't say anything. When I came out to stop them, you called for backup?"

Then he turned to the head security guard and asked, "Who exactly is trying to cause trouble right now?"

The head security guard and the bartender exchanged a glance. The bartender said in a harsh tone, "These customers just came to chat with some ladies, but you start hitting them as soon as you arrive..."

"Chatting? If your eyesight is bad, you should donate them. Keeping them is a waste." This time, Mr. Cao said this calmly.

"Sir, if you continue like this, don't blame us for being impolite." The head security guard was probably a bit agitated, and his tone became harsh.

"The Grand Palace isn't far away. Should we call the police and ask a few officers to come and check it out?" Cao Tai looked down at the security chief, who was half a head shorter than him.

"Haha, hello sir. My name is Lin Huan, and I am the manager of 'ROSE'. My subordinates are ignorant and have offended you. Please forgive them."

Looking at the twenty-something Sanfen Hua with a slightly fawning smile, who was bending over and extending his hands, Cao Tai finally reached out and gently shook hands with him after a moment.

"Amai, take these guests back to their seats." Manager Huan first instructed the head of security to take away the several drunk and disorderly guests.

Then he said to the bartender behind the bar, "Tao, you can pack your things and go home now. Come back tomorrow to settle your wages."

Then, regardless of the bartender named Atao's pale face after hearing his words, he reached out and beckoned another bartender not far away to come over.

"Ah Quan, bring out the Macallan I've been hiding," Manager Huan instructed as the bartender approached.

"Brother Huan, isn't that bottle of wine one of your treasured possessions? It's worth over ten thousand now!" The bartender, named Quan, whispered in Manager Huan's ear.

"Go get it quickly, don't worry about anything else." Lin Huan patted A-Quan's arm.

"Okay!" Seeing that Li Huan seemed to have made up his mind, Ah Quan went into the bar and opened a small door to go inside.

Lin Huan then chatted with Cao Tai.

A short while later, Ah Quan came out carrying a bottle of wine with a rather plain bottle and packaging.

"Brother Huan."

Lin Huan took the bottle with both hands and then said to Cao Tai, "Mr. Cao, this bottle of Macallan isn't a top-tier spirit, but it's still among the best in the world of spirits."

This time, the bar disturbed Mr. Cao's friends' enjoyment. Consider this a small apology from our bar. We hope you will be magnanimous and forgive us!

Cao Tai reached out and took the wine that was handed to him, glanced at it casually, and then put it back into Lin Huan's hand.

"I appreciate your sincerity, but there's no need to send the wine." Manager Lin Huan was quite polite, and I'm not the type to hold a grudge, so I forgave him.

After all, the first thing he did upon arrival was to have a few bedbugs taken away, and then he fired the bartender Ah Tao, who was clearly a pimp, right in front of everyone. This showed his sincerity.

"Then I'll keep it for now. If Mr. Cao has time to visit our bar, you can have someone bring it out for him to try anytime." Since Lin Huan wanted to show his sincerity, he certainly wouldn't give up halfway.

Cao Tai nodded noncommittally before approaching Jesse, whose eyes were already somewhat glazed over.

"Jesse, that's enough, it's time to go back."

"I...I can still...drink...drink..." A breath of alcohol wafted from her small mouth.

Cao Tai had no choice but to help her up first before asking Lin Huan, "How much did they spend?"

Lin Huan said with a smile, "Mr. Cao, are you making fun of me? I can pay for the ladies' bill tonight. I'm so sorry for offending you."

Lin Huan bowed and apologized to the girls at the end.

The girls who were still sober quickly said they were fine; after all, it was not something most people would dare to accept being apologized to in person by a big bar manager.

In this day and age, to open such a large bar, regardless of whether it's a legitimate or criminal operation, the owner must have considerable influence. And anyone who becomes the bar manager is definitely not to be underestimated.

Jesse, who was being held by Cao Tai with one arm, hiccuped and mumbled a few words, but unfortunately, he was too drunk to speak clearly.

Outside the bar, the valet drove Cao Tai's Mercedes 126 over, and Cao Tai first settled Jesse into the passenger seat.

Then he turned to Jesse and his colleagues and asked, "Where are you going? I'll see you off."

"No need, we're sharing an apartment now, we can just take a taxi back, so we won't trouble you, Mr. Cao. You should hurry and take Jessie home, she's drunk after all," a short-haired girl spoke up first.

"Alright, be careful on the road," Cao Tai said before getting into his car and driving away.

"Jesse, wake up! Where do you live?" Not far from where they started driving, the girl in the passenger seat, who had her head down, began to snore softly.

"Hmm..." The girl subconsciously reached out and pushed away Cao Tai's hand that was gently pushing her away.

Seeing that the girl looked nauseous and about to vomit, Mr. Cao quickly found a spot to park on the side of the road, then got out of the car and helped the girl out.

Standing next to the trash can, Jesse finally couldn't hold back and vomited under the pungent smell of the garbage inside.

After a bout of vomiting, Jesse's eyes regained some focus. After Mr. Cao gave her a bottle of water to rinse her mouth and wash her face, she was about 60-70% awake.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home first." Cao Tai gently helped her up.

"You men are all bad people...uh...uh..." Jesse stammered, hiccuping twice before she could finish her sentence. She looked up at Mr. Cao, tears streaming down her face.

"Uh..." Mr. Cao was speechless. After all, he had kissed the girl without thinking during the exhibition, which might have caused her some harm.

"He always says he's busy with work. We've only been in a relationship for less than two months, and we've only met and gone on dates less than ten times. I don't even dare to introduce him to my friends." The girl became more and more agitated as she spoke, and tears streamed down her face.

"He started pursuing me when I was a sophomore in college. After I started working, I agreed to date him because he had pursued me for three years without giving up. However, he was busy with work and often stood me up."

Cao Tai had no choice but to pull the heartbroken woman into his arms and listen as she buried her head in his chest and mumbled, "I'll never date him again."
