Watching Shen Leman's shy expression, Wang Xuan gently licked her earlobe again.
"Ah!" Shen Leman cried out, feeling her whole body go numb. She instinctively dodged to the side. "Y-you're still teasing me? I-I still need to apply medicine for you!"
Standing up from Wang Xuan, Shen Leman looked at her clothes with flushed cheeks. "You're so annoying. You've wrinkled my clothes. What if someone sees me like this?"
Wang Xuan savored the moment, intoxicated. "So fragrant!"
"You're still saying that!" Shen Leman stomped her foot coquettishly.
"It's not my fault. Who told you to be so beautiful, gentle, and adorable? You make people unable to resist being captivated by you and sinking into it."
"What a smooth talker!"
Wang Xuan reached out and took Shen Leman's soft, tender hand, stroking her jade-like fingers. "Don't work as a nurse at the hospital anymore. Come with me. Be my girlfriend and stay by my side, all right?"
"No way!" Though she said no, she didn't pull her hand back. She rolled her beautiful eyes at Wang Xuan. "You have so many fox spirits over there, not to mention all those uniform temptations and nurse uniforms. Hmph!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She suddenly pulled her hand back and turned around. "Go date them, then! Why are you still looking for me?"
Wang Xuan rose with a smile and tightly embraced her slender waist from behind, placing both hands over her smooth lower abdomen. Lowering his head beside her ear, he said, "In my eyes, they're all just employees. They perform labor and receive payment. Although I won't look down on them, I absolutely won't touch them. That's both professional ethics and a matter of spiritual cleanliness."
"My girlfriend must be a pure, spotless girl, like a lotus flower. She'll stay by my side. When I'm trapped in the mud, surrounded by filth, she'll give me strength and provide my heart with a harbor. It'll be a pure land that allows me to preserve my true nature, a lighthouse that keeps me from losing my way in the darkness."
The string of sweet nothings nearly made Shen Leman lose herself!
Her little temper from earlier vanished in an instant. They said women were creatures of hearing, and it was completely true.
"But... but... I don't want to go to that kind of place!"
"It doesn't matter. For your sake, I'll immediately arrange some legitimate businesses and gradually withdraw from this line of work!"
Shen Leman turned around at once, her face filled with delight as she looked at Wang Xuan. "Really? You're not lying to me?"
"Of course it's true. For you, and for our tomorrow!"
"Smack!" Shen Leman kissed Wang Xuan, her face glowing with happiness. "Once you've arranged everything, I'll resign and leave with you immediately!"
"Mm, it's a deal. Now, shouldn't you take a look at my injuries?" Wang Xuan playfully scratched the tip of Shen Leman's nose.
"It's all your fault!"
While he was applying the medicine, passionate lovers inevitably engaged in a few intimate acts.
After they finished, they went out for a grand meal. During it, Wang Xuan told several jokes from his previous life, making Shen Leman giggle coquettishly.
Only after seeing off his reluctant new girlfriend did Wang Xuan get into the car and return to the nightclub.
He certainly had to fulfill his promise to the beauty. Besides, after two days of implementation, some problems needed to be resolved as well.
In the top-floor office, Wang Xuan summoned several of his subordinates.
"The shop has been running well. You all deserve credit. Take twenty thousand each and spend it."
Looking at the stacks of banknotes on the table, the men felt a surge of excitement. Twenty thousand yuan was a considerable sum. They hurriedly picked up the money and stuffed it into their pockets, immediately feeling as if their backs had straightened.
"The shop has been operating for two days. There are many things I need you to handle."
Wang Xuan raised several issues.
First: the income of the hostesses at the establishment.
At present, the place was supported entirely by these hostesses. They worked very hard, but there had to be a reason for raising their wages. Wang Xuan understood the principle that excessive kindness could breed resentment.
Second: insufficient reception capacity.
Although Star Brilliance Nightclub was not small, its capacity was ultimately limited. Insufficient reception capacity was a major problem. Another issue was that the expenses were too high, leaving many men from Hong Kong Island unable to afford them. This caused customers to be lost without anyone noticing and made it easy for other nightclubs to seize the opportunity.
Third: the problem of uniform consumption.
Not a single uniform could be worn intact through an entire night. Many hostesses had to change several sets in one evening, all because those wicked old men tore them to pieces. In two days, over a thousand sets of clothing had been used, making it a considerable expense. At the same time, Wang Xuan felt that these uniforms would gradually become popular throughout Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and even Japan. The clothing business was also a legitimate business, after all.
Shen Leman was still waiting for him.
Sexual happiness was important!
The first matter could be handled by holding a meeting for the hostesses before opening that evening and explaining it to them.
The latter two matters were more troublesome.
"Ah Ying, Ah Wai, Ah Sen, the three establishments you're overseeing must also be renovated. Follow Star Brilliance's model. Of course, those places aren't as large, so their quality naturally won't be as high. Still, differentiation is a good thing. Many people who can't afford Star Brilliance will go to your places. In the future, Portland Street will become the most famous red-light district in Hong Kong Island and even Southeast Asia."
"Big Brother, understood!"
The three men spoke in unison. Not to mention outsiders, even Wang Xuan's own men were envious when they looked at Star Brilliance.
"From now on, including Star Brilliance, you can take a commission from the monthly profits of each establishment. Three percent. As long as you follow me, I won't mistreat you. Within a year, I'll make all of you millionaires."
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
The men became extremely excited. Millionaires! Not long ago, they had all been the lowest-level thugs in Hong Kong, the kind who weren't even sure they'd have food for the next meal. When they thought about their lives now, and then imagined where they'd be a year later—
They were thrilled. So damn thrilled!
"But if you follow me, you also have to obey the rules. Remember what I'm about to say." Wang Xuan suddenly became extremely solemn, his voice low as he said, "No one is allowed to touch drugs, whether using or selling them. Anyone who breaks the rules, I absolutely don't want to see a second time. Understood? Whoever wants to sell drugs at the establishments can do so; we won't get involved!"
The men's expressions turned serious. They understood what Wang Xuan meant. Not wanting to see someone a second time meant that person would be dead—that was the only way to ensure he absolutely couldn't see them again.
"All right, that's all. Ah Wai, find more hostesses. Remember, everyone here must come voluntarily. No one is to be forced. The same goes for all of you."
"Understood, Big Brother."
"All right, go and get to work."
