Diary of Getting Rich Quick in the South

She was wearing a fitted black long dress with a slit.

The high slit on the side extends all the way to the thigh, subtly revealing long, fair legs as she walks, making her exceptionally eye-catching.

The neckline was very low, revealing her delicate collarbones.

She casually draped a light black cardigan over her clothes, partially concealing her body and creating a sophisticated atmosphere.

My heart sank, and my mind went completely blank.

Sister Wan?

Su Wan saw me too, and her professional smile instantly froze, her face turning deathly pale.

She instinctively pulled her cardigan tighter, desperately trying to cover her revealing skirt, and kept her head down, not daring to look me in the eye, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

I stared at her in disbelief, my voice trembling.

"Sister Wan, what... what are you doing here?"

Su Wan trembled even more violently, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Mr. Wang, who was slightly tipsy, squinted at Su Wan and me, and asked with a hint of alcohol in his voice, "Xiao Chen, do you two know each other?"

I was speechless on the spot and couldn't say a word.

What can I say?

Tell him this is my cousin-in-law, and she works as an escort at the club.

Once I said those words, I would be completely unable to hold my head up in front of Mr. Wang, and the deal would be completely off.

Fortunately, Supervisor Sun was quick-witted and immediately noticed the awkward atmosphere, so he stepped forward to smooth things over.

He even deliberately put on a stern face and scolded Su Wan: "Why are you running around like this? This private room isn't your responsibility. What are you doing here? Get out right now!"

Su Wan knew in her heart that Supervisor Sun was trying to help her out of a predicament.

But when she bumped into me, her mind went blank, and she panicked so much that her hands and feet wouldn't obey her commands, and she stood there motionless.

In the end, it was the foreman, Sun, who went up to her and forcibly pulled her out of the private room.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I watched the door to the private room close.

That was a close call. If President Wang had taken a liking to Su Wan and specifically asked her to stay, I would have been in a real dilemma.

If we don't give in, it means we're openly competing with major clients for customers, and the deal will fall through.

If I were to tell the truth that she is my cousin-in-law, I would only become a laughing stock.

I really wanted to chase after them and find out the truth, but in front of Mr. Wang, I could only suppress all my emotions, pretend to be calm, and wave the remaining girls to sit down and drink with him.

Mr. Wang was having a great time, singing with one woman in each arm, and his stockings were even touching the balls of his breasts.

I was extremely uncomfortable and had absolutely no interest in talking to Mr. Wang. He spoke to me several times, but I was so distracted that I didn't hear him.

Fortunately, Mr. Wang was quite drunk and had girls with him, so he didn't notice my unusual behavior.

Finally, after enduring until Mr. Wang completely relaxed, I made an excuse to go to the restroom and quickly left the private room.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw Supervisor Sun pacing back and forth in the corridor.

As soon as he saw me come out, he immediately came to greet me.

"Brother Chen, I've already arranged for Su Wan to stay in the lounge and haven't let her see any other guests, so don't worry."

Hearing this, I finally felt much relieved.

I patted Supervisor Sun on the shoulder and casually took out a thousand yuan in cash from my pocket and handed it to him.

"Thank you so much for helping me out of that situation today. I'll remember this favor. I'll ask you to take care of me when I bring clients over in the future."

Supervisor Sun smiled and declined a couple of times, but eventually accepted the money and led me to the lounge.

Pushing open the door to the lounge, I immediately saw Su Wan sitting on the sofa.

She wore an oversized coat, which covered her impressive figure and made her look much more pleasing to the eye.

Upon seeing me, a look of panic crossed her face, and she instinctively shrank back.

I got really angry, grabbed her wrist, and ignoring her cries of pain, roughly pulled her off the sofa.

"Sister Wan, you told me you found a stable, good job, but your so-called job is just working as a hostess at a club? Do you even know what kind of place this is?"

Su Wan kept her head down, avoiding eye contact with me: "Chen An, I had no choice."

Seeing her disheveled and haggard appearance, I felt both angry and heartbroken.

"Sister Wan, I know you're short of money to pay off your debts, but even if you're short of money, you shouldn't ruin yourself. Is Zhao Hongqi pressuring you to pay back the money again?"

Su Wan quickly shook her head, her eyes reddening: "No, he never pressured me, but that debt of several million is due in three months! I could never earn that much money in my entire life working a regular job. Although I have to drink and sing with people here, the income is high, and I want to pay off the debt as soon as possible."

After saying that, she couldn't hold back any longer, squatted down, covered her face, and cried softly.

Looking at her slender back, I felt a heavy weight in my heart, making it hard to breathe.

When my cousin had his accident, I patted my chest and promised that I would take good care of Su Wan and not let her suffer any grievances.

But now?

I actually made her wear revealing clothes and sing and drink with men in this kind of mixed-race place.

I felt like slapping myself twice.

I took a deep breath, suppressed all my anger, and said in a low voice, "Sister Wan, you should quit your job here later."

"Resign? What about the millions in debt?" Su Wan raised her tear-streaked face and looked at me blankly.

I interrupted her impatiently: "I'll pay you back, but you can't keep working here. You just need to stay home obediently, and I'll support you."

The moment Su Wan uttered the words "I'll take care of you," she stopped crying, and I was stunned myself.

A moment later, Su Wan came to her senses, gently wiped away her tears, and looked at me with a complicated expression.

"Chen An, I understand your intentions and thank you for wanting to help me, but this debt was incurred by your cousin. He and I were husband and wife. Although he is no longer here, it is still my responsibility, and I shouldn't let you bear it for me."

I was about to retort when she gently covered my mouth, her eyes looking extremely serious.

"I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. I won't sell my body for money by drinking and singing with customers. I'll always stand on the stage; I won't sit next to the customers and let them take advantage of me."

Supervisor Sun, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in to support him.

"That's right, Brother Chen. Su Wan is telling the truth. She usually works at the upstairs bar, but tonight a big customer came in, and we were short-staffed, so we temporarily brought her down to help out."

I then noticed that Supervisor Sun was still standing next to me, which made me feel a little awkward.

I often bring clients here for business entertainment, and in front of Supervisor Sun, I always have the image of a half-boss.

Now that the other party knows my cousin-in-law works here, this is really...

However, after learning that Su Wan usually hangs out in bars, the last weight on my mind was finally lifted.

That kind of green space where you can just sing is completely different from the business private rooms downstairs.

Unless you want to sneak out on a date, no one will force you. Even if a customer throws a tantrum, security guards will stop them.

As before, Su Wan gently raised her hand to smooth out my wrinkled collar, a hint of helpless smile in her eyes.

"Alright, stop yelling at me like that. I'm still your cousin-in-law, and you're treating me like a child!"

Just then, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open.

A man in a black suit rushed in, and his eyes lit up when he saw Su Wan.

Without saying a word, he grabbed Su Wan's wrist and pulled her towards the door.
