Which way to go is the road?

Since the "Shuiyunjian" restaurant changed its equipment and was renovated, business has been booming. For a month, it has been packed every day. Some customers who arrive late and can't get a computer would rather wait in the internet waiting area or next to the fish tank than go to another place!

There are several universities nearby, so even if business is booming, it's impossible to attract all customers. Naturally, many customers also end up at "Eden." Qian Luomei doesn't mind. She can't bear to see others doing well when she can't even enjoy her own life. With a peaceful mindset, she lives a happy and fulfilling life.

However, not everyone thinks this way. How could those who come with the initial intention of fighting be content with loneliness and let their opponents develop in an increasingly better direction? In that case, they would lose their meaning of existence.

One morning, Xiang Fei suddenly noticed that the number of customers in his store had dropped by more than half, which was very abnormal. What was even more abnormal was that the "Eden" restaurant across the street was bustling with customers and extremely popular. But with so many people going in, they definitely wouldn't have enough camera seats. So why were those people lingering there and not leaving? A series of questions made Xiang Fei's mind itch.

"Did they get pandas in their shop? Why are these people acting like they're possessed? They're rushing in like madmen, and they're all so excited!" Xiang Fei wondered.

"How about I go over and take a look? The three of us can't just stand here guessing, can we?" Wang Haoming and Xiang Fei's relationship had improved, and he often came to the front desk to hang around when he had nothing to do.

Xiang Fei disagreed: "Forget it, you're a staff member of 'Shuiyunjian,' it's not appropriate for you to go there. Let's avoid causing any direct conflict, that would be even more troublesome!"

"Don't you have a spy? Send Du Xinpeng; he's most enthusiastic about doing this right now!" Zhang Chu reminded him.

"Wait for him? It'll be noon by then, and it's not the weekend, they have classes this afternoon! Students should prioritize their studies," Xiang Fei shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.

The three remained silent, each deep in thought, trying out various ideas in their minds, only to shake their heads and reject one idea after another.

"Forget it, I'll go see for myself. Businesses open their doors to customers, I don't believe he can kick me out. I've heard there's a beautiful female boss inside, I'm going to see if she's even prettier than our Sister Luo Mei?" After thinking it over, Xiang Fei decided to "go to the tiger's den again"!

Zhang Chu objected: "Brother, you shouldn't go. What if something happens? Why don't you tell Sister Luo Mei and hear her opinion?"

"I went there as a customer to use the internet, not to cause trouble. What could possibly happen? Besides, I put them in a tight rein last time, so they wouldn't dare to act recklessly. At worst, I'd call the police. Making a scene like this isn't good for their business. Since this woman can come up with a plan to deal with us, she won't be as reckless as Li Qi!"

"That's right, Fei-ge, I'll go with you! It's just going to take a look, what's there to be afraid of!" Wang Haoming said nonchalantly.

Having made their decision, they didn't hesitate any longer. The two looked in the mirror, straightened their clothes and hairstyles, and, making sure they wouldn't embarrass "Shuiyunjian," pushed open the revolving door and walked out. Just as they were about to reach "Eden," a text message beeped. Xiang Fei saw it was from Qian Luomei—"Don't cause trouble, be careful!"

Upon reaching "Eden," just as they were about to push open the door, they discovered it had opened automatically. The two exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of naiveté, smiled, and went inside.

Upon entering, Xiang Fei felt like he was in a karaoke bar. The words "royal" and "supreme" naturally came to mind. The opulent decor was so dazzling that he had to open and close his eyes several times to feel comfortable.

What's surprising isn't the opulent decor or the packed crowd, but rather the long-legged beauties, scantily clad, bustling about. Some are serving tea and water, while others are keeping customers company while they eat, drink, chat, or surf the internet – it's truly an eye-opener.

Walking down the corridor, beautiful women floated past, bringing with them a delicate fragrance. The ladies accompanying the players chattered sweetly, making it feel like being in a dreamlike realm. One even had the illusion of being Jia Baoyu. No wonder so many people stay here even when they're not online.

"These beauties are all pretty high quality. Xiang Fei, even if I gave you money, could you hire this many beauties to serve you?" Wang Haoming nudged Xiang Fei with his elbow and said in a low voice.

Xiang Fei shook his head: "Forget about beautiful women, I can't even find handsome guys of this caliber. How much money would that cost? Wouldn't they go bankrupt doing this every day?"

"It's not about the money. Didn't Du Xinpeng say that the boss used to manage nightclubs? Maybe the girls are his own, so the cost is negligible! But that's not right either! What will happen to the nightclub if they all come here?"

Xiang Fei saw a sign ahead and walked closer to read the details of an event: Starting today, this internet cafe is holding a member appreciation event. Customers who have spent money at this internet cafe for one consecutive month will receive one hour of internet service with a beautiful lady. The settlement will be made at the beginning of the month!

"What's the date, Haoming?"

"Number 2! What's wrong?"

"We've met our match. Let's go back and think of a solution!"

The two of them retraced their steps, admiring the beautiful women as they walked towards the door. Suddenly, they bumped into someone in front of them. Turning around, they were about to apologize, but realized it was unnecessary. Standing in front of them was a bald, sunglasses-wearing, muscular man. Without the man introducing himself, Xiang Fei knew trouble was brewing.

"Hello, gentlemen, our boss would like to invite you in!"

Seeing the burly man's polite demeanor, Xiang Fei didn't see any danger. He also wanted to meet the beautiful boss, so he didn't refuse: "Okay, please lead the way!"

Turning left at the end of the corridor leads to the main entrance, but they followed the guide and turned right upstairs. They walked to an office, knocked on the door, and were given permission to go inside.

A woman stood by the windowsill, her back to them. She was about as tall as Xiang Fei, with a slender figure and a professional suit, looking capable and poised.

"Boss, Manager Xiang Fei is here!"

The other person turned around, a silvery laugh ringing out: "Hello, I'm He Ping, you've probably heard of me before!"

Upon closer inspection, He Ping was indeed not over 40 years old as Du Xinpeng had described; she looked to be in her early 30s at most. She had short, ear-length hair, willow-leaf eyebrows, and peach-blossom eyes, and wore slightly heavy smoky makeup, giving her a beautiful yet alluring look.

"Hello, Mr. He, I've heard that a beautiful new boss has joined us here. Seeing you today, I can confirm your reputation!" Xiang Fei stepped forward and shook hands with her.

"Xiang Fei, right? I'm sorry, I don't like formalities! Just call me He Ping, or if you think highly of me, call me Sister Ping," He Ping said with a smile, shaking Xiang Fei's hand.

Xiang Fei was startled. What a preemptive strike! With just a few words, he had seized the initiative in the conversation. He seemed casual but was actually very confident. His sweet smile concealed a sharp offensive.
