My cousin-in-law helped me achieve my ambitions.

He quickly shook his head, his attitude firm: "Forget it, it's too embarrassing to talk about this stuff."

That's the truth. What will my cousin's wife think when she finds out?

Upon hearing this, the two young women simultaneously rolled their eyes in disdain.

The red-haired girl, in particular, scoffed and crossed her arms, saying sarcastically, "What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? I don't believe you wouldn't be tempted by a woman in front of you."

Su Ming was both amused and exasperated, and could only explain, "It also depends on whether I like it or not."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired girl sneered, a sly glint in her eyes.

"Really?" She raised an eyebrow. "Then I'll have to give it a try."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stood up, lifted her leg, and sat down directly on Su Ming's lap.

Before Su Ming could react, she had already wrapped her arms around his neck face to face, pressing her entire body tightly against him.

Her heavily made-up face loomed close to his, so close he could see the mascara on her eyelashes. Her warm breath brushed against his face, carrying the scent of alcohol and cheap perfume.

"Ming-ge..." she asked in a sweet, cloying voice, "Do you feel anything now?"

Su Ming never expected this woman to be so wild. He was so frightened that he froze, not knowing where to put his hands. He could only raise them in the air as if surrendering.

"No, don't do this..." he stammered, his voice trembling.

But despite saying that, my body reacted uncontrollably.

This is a man's instinct, it has nothing to do with whether he likes it or not. If a living woman is sitting on your lap, close to your body, and you don't react, that's when something's wrong.

The red-haired girl sensed something and giggled, her smile full of smugness.

Bao Yazhong, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh. He quickly patted the red-haired girl on the back and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around, come down."

The red-haired girl reluctantly got off Su Ming's lap and sat back down. She winked at Su Ming and said with a mischievous smile, "Brother Ming, you were definitely interested in me just now. I could feel it."

Upon hearing this, a burst of laughter erupted in the private room.

Bao Yazhong laughed so hard he slapped his thigh, and the two energetic young women also laughed so hard they were doubled over.

Su Ming was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground; his face turned red to the roots of his neck.

After laughing his fill, Bao Yazhong exhaled a smoke ring, patted Su Ming on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Dude, we're out here to make money. This is consensual, nothing shameful. We're helping the girls find jobs, you know. Who doesn't want to earn some easy money? Right?"

The two energetic young women immediately chimed in, "Exactly!"

The red-haired girl was even more direct, leaning in and saying in a sweet voice, "Brother Ming, if you take care of me, even if you only give me two thousand a month, I promise I'll serve you comfortably every day and often do fancy things for you."

Su Ming quickly made a stop gesture, both amused and exasperated.

Bao Yazhong's joking expression vanished, and he stared seriously at Su Ming: "Dude, think about it carefully. I know you have connections. As long as you're willing to make the connections, I'll immediately open another Wenzhou City in the Snake Hill Industrial Zone."

He began to analyze seriously: "I've done my research. In the Sheshan Industrial Zone, there are many hardware factories, unlike electronics factories where there are more women. Most of the workers in hardware factories are men, doing all the hard labor. These men have high wages, but they can't find women to satisfy their needs. If I opened a Wenzhou City here, I guarantee I'd make a fortune."

He paused, looking at Su Ming with expectant eyes: "You just need to help me build connections. If someone from above comes to investigate, you help me handle it; if someone causes trouble, you help me handle it. I'll take care of the rest. I'll find the girls, and I'll pay the rent and utilities. If we make a profit, we'll split it 50/50."

After listening, Su Ming remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he decisively shook his head, his tone firm: "Dude, let's forget about this. Do you see any other options?"

Seeing his resolute attitude, Bao Yazhong didn't press him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yes, that is, to open an arcade and put up a few slot machines."

He changed the subject and sighed, "However, someone has already opened an arcade in the Snake Hill Industrial Zone, controlled by the Hunan gang. If we open another one, we'll be taking their livelihood away. There are only so many people in this area; it can only support one arcade at most. Any more and it won't be profitable."

He earnestly advised Su Ming: "Although Pegasus is afraid of you, you don't need to completely destroy him. If you really ruin his livelihood, things could get complicated. Maybe one day he won't be able to survive, he'll kill you, and then start living on the run. It's not impossible that something like that could happen."

Su Ming nodded, indicating his understanding. He thought for a moment, then asked, "What about other places?"

Bao Yazhong's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "You can do it elsewhere. But the prerequisite is that you need connections."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, we can still open another one in the Snake Hill Industrial Zone in Wenzhou City. Although there's already one, the girls there aren't very attractive, and there aren't many of them. Opening another one won't make any difference."

Su Ming couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Then why don't you just open one?"

Bao Yazhong gave a wry smile and shook his head: "To run this kind of thing, first you need to have some connections at the top, and second you need to be able to find girls. That's difficult too. Why didn't Pegasus open a branch in Wenzhou City? It's because they weren't good at finding girls. There's a method to this kind of thing."

Su Ming became even more curious and pressed, "What kind of trick?"

Bao Yazhong chuckled, exhaled a smoke ring, and said slowly, "To tell you the truth, basically all the girls who fall into this trap are brought in by their boyfriends. I have two girlfriends in this line of work, and they were both tricked by me."

Upon hearing this, the two young women simultaneously glared at Bao Ya Zhong and cursed in unison, "Scumbag!"

Bao Yazhong wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he burst into laughter. He reached out and grabbed both girls, saying with a grin, "Even a scumbag like me is the one who led you to wealth. Without me, would you be where you are today? Would you be making so much money?"

As he spoke, he gently stroked the two men's thighs with practiced ease.

Su Ming was speechless, not knowing where to look.

Bao Yazhong seemed to realize Su Ming's embarrassment, smiled, released the two girls, turned his head and winked at him: "Dude, think it over carefully."

Su Ming shook his head, his tone firm: "I definitely won't consider that. However, I am interested in opening an arcade."

Bao Yazhong's eyes lit up. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Dude, an arcade is easy. With your status, just find an undeveloped industrial area and open one."

He paused, then suddenly lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Ming, tell me the truth. That Leopard-sized car last time, it must belong to some big shot, right?"

Su Ming felt a slight tremor in his heart.

He thought to himself, "This is my trump card; I absolutely cannot reveal it to anyone."

Thinking of this, he deliberately put on a mysterious air, a cryptic smile playing on his lips, and said calmly, "I can't just tell you that."

Upon hearing this, Bao Yazhong's eyes lit up even more. He stared at Su Ming for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter, nodding repeatedly, "Understood, understood!"

He suspected that Su Ming must have incredibly powerful connections. That Audi with the Leopard badge—even Pegasus would kneel before it; just how powerful must its backing be?

Thinking of this, he excitedly slapped his thigh and said, "Look, the arcade thing has a chance! Let's find an industrial park sometime, set up a few machines, and test the waters. If this thing is run well for a month, making a few hundred thousand yuan shouldn't be a problem."

Upon hearing that he could earn over 100,000 yuan, Su Ming immediately perked up.
