The opposite approach?

After Li Xian and his group showered, they changed into their steam room outfits and took the elevator to the third floor.

The attendants waiting in the third-floor lobby enthusiastically greeted them and introduced the various services offered by the establishment. Afterward, they led the group to a corridor at the corner of the lobby to select technicians.

Two rows of technicians sat on either side of the corridor. As Li Xian and his companions approached, they all stood up in unison to welcome them.

For a moment, the corridor was filled with a vibrant scene of women of all shapes and sizes, a lively spectacle that dazzled Li Xian and the others.

They all wore the same uniform, a short skirt, and their fair legs were a feast for the eyes. Their ages ranged from 20 to 30, and as for their appearance, Li Xian had to admit he was a bit disappointed.

Perhaps it was peak hours, and the best ones had already been chosen. Among the remaining twenty to thirty women, a few had an appearance rating that barely passed 70, but they were older, and Li Xian wasn't interested.

Damn it, so the receptionists at the entrance were the peak of beauty, Li Xian thought to himself.

He shot a glance at Wang Meng, who had been zoning out beside him, and said, "Mengzi, don't mess this up today!"

"Brother... I don't have any experience," Wang Meng replied with a wry smile. He had always been single and rarely frequented entertainment venues. He was completely out of his element and felt a bit lost.

Sigh, this is too embarrassing.

Li Xian lightly touched his forehead and called out to Jiji, the experienced one, "You, kid, take care of your buddies. Don't just focus on yourself."

"Got it... got it... Don't worry, leave him to me," Sui Jiji turned his head, beckoned Wang Meng over, and said, "Don't just stand there, come here... If you hesitate any longer, you'll end up picking from the leftovers."

As they spoke, another group of customers emerged from the elevator. Wang Meng was still dithering. Li Xian couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a kick in the backside.

Wang Meng lost his balance and stumbled forward a couple of steps, only to be grabbed by Sui Jiji's arm, sending him tumbling into the crowd of women.

"Brother Xian... You don't need to consider my feelings. Just have fun," Sun Wei, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. He had a dejected look on his face, as if life had lost all meaning.

Just then, Yan Hanbing had called at a crucial moment, completely extinguishing his desire.

Play is play, and fooling around is fooling around, but never joke about your wife. At the critical moment, Sun Wei still backed down.

Li Xian completely disregarded his childhood friend's feelings and grinned, laughing unreservedly, "You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in any of the women here."

He didn't ask for an appearance rating of 80 or above, but at the very least, they shouldn't be too far off. That was Li Xian's minimum standard.

As he spoke, he slung an arm around Sun Wei's shoulder. "Just calm down. You've been getting by like this for the past two years anyway."

"You bastard... I really want to beat you up," Sun Wei clutched his chest. Those words were truly heartbreaking.

Sui Jiji had already sorted things out. He and Mengzi had picked two tall, leggy women. Before heading to the private room, he shamelessly taunted Sun Wei, saying, "Wei Shao, don't say I'm not a good friend. When I'm done, I'll have a good chat with you about the details."

"Get lost! ... Look at my lips... F-U-C-K Y-O-U..." Sun Wei glared at him fiercely, then pulled Li Xian towards the elevator. He really couldn't stand to stay any longer.

Among their group of friends, he was the only one with a girlfriend, which felt like a lock on his restless heart. When he wanted to let loose, he had to think twice.

Sun Wei was naturally a playful person. To have been tied down by Yan Hanbing for two years despite their frequent arguments was a testament to their relationship. The most important thing was that he could still hold onto his principles, which was truly not easy.

"Let's go to the lounge on the second floor," Li Xian said, patting Sun Wei's shoulder. "Want some snacks, tea, or a Red Bull?"

"What Red Bull? Get me some herbal tea to cool down."

As the two were about to enter the elevator, the attendant who had initially greeted them rushed over and asked, "Gentlemen, are you not satisfied with our service?"

"We're very satisfied... We just didn't find anyone we liked."

"Uh... Sir, could you please wait a moment? I'll make some arrangements..."

"Never mind, we don't have time..."

Li Xian pressed the button for the second floor. The elevator doors slowly closed, leaving the somewhat awkward attendant. He took a deep breath and spoke into his walkie-talkie, "Second floor, second floor, we have two VIP guests heading down, please attend to them."

Upon arriving at the second-floor lounge, Li Xian found a sofa in a corner and lay down. He ordered a 78 yuan snack platter, a can of Red Bull, and a pot of herbal tea.

The entire lounge was spacious and quiet, with dim lighting making it difficult to see the surroundings. There weren't many people in his area. In front of him, couples lay around, both male and female, likely lovers.

At the end of each aisle, a few tall figures were wandering around, presumably foot massage technicians looking for clients.

Li Xian withdrew his gaze. Just then, the items he had ordered were brought by the attendant.

Sun Wei dejectedly poured himself a cup of tea. Li Xian opened his Red Bull, took a sip, lit a cigarette, and couldn't help but chuckle again, "How about I drive you home? You look so miserable..."

"No... Let me be alone for a while."

"Okay..." Li Xian boredly took out his phone and glanced at it a couple of times, then couldn't resist asking, "What are you really thinking? You and Yan Hanbing arguing like this all the time isn't going to work."

"I... I don't know either..." Sun Wei said, sounding a bit dejected. "She's two years older than me and a bit anxious to get married. She's hinted at it before, but I'm not ready yet."

"Oh~~ Whether you're ready or not isn't really the point. The main thing is, what does your family say?"

"My family? My mom is coming to look at apartments..."

"Then that settles it... You're already buying a wedding house, so just bite the bullet and accept your fate," Li Xian shamelessly urged.

"You bastard, it's easy for you to say when it's not your problem," Sun Wei retorted, playfully slapping Li Xian's arm. He changed the subject, "Enough about me, let's talk about you. I heard about what happened with Zhang Ning... At first, I didn't want Zhao Rang that bastard to set you up, I knew it wouldn't work out, and I was right."

Zhao Rang was Sun Wei's colleague, and he was the one who had initiated the matchmaking between Li Xian and Zhang Ning.

"It's okay, it's not your fault. I was blinded at the time and didn't listen to your advice," Li Xian said, no longer bothered. He had money now, his anger had subsided, so what else could he do?

He could only say that he learned from his mistakes and would be more discerning in the future.

"Sigh, how can I not blame myself..." Sun Wei still felt a bit guilty. He patted Li Xian's shoulder and said, "How about... I introduce you to my supervisor..."

"Stop joking..."

"I'm telling you, my supervisor is gorgeous. Great figure, highly educated, and comes from a good family. Many people are pursuing her. She's just a bit picky, but with your current status, you're definitely good enough," Sun Wei said, winking.

"Damn... do you have a grudge against your boss?" Li Xian joked, saying, "Forget it, forget it, don't drag me down with you. Matters of the heart are too troublesome, it's best to let nature take its course."

Li Xian didn't want to get caught up in the whirlwind of romance right now. Firstly, he didn't want to expend too much mental energy, and secondly, he was genuinely bad at charming girls.

Of course, sometimes you didn't need to use your words; you could just use your wallet. Since that was the case, he might as well wait for someone else to pursue him.

"Really don't need it? You've met my supervisor, right? It's Guo Yajing. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also quite capable. If you win her over, she can be your helper in the future." Sun Wei continued to push his boss.

Hearing Sun Wei mention the name, a slender figure appeared in Li Xian's mind. She was a little over 1.7 meters tall, with a captivating figure, a standard oval face, delicate features, and eyes that could spark.

In Li Xian's heart, her Appearance scored an 85, making her even prettier than Dong Linlin he had met before.

"Is she very capable at work?" Li Xian mumbled, his focus seemingly drifting. He asked Sun Wei, "Can you poach her from your company? We can discuss salary and benefits..."

"You..." Sun Wei was speechless. After a long pause, he pointed at Li Xian and said, "No wonder you're... single!"

"Stop messing around, I'm talking business!"

"I... I'll ask." Sun Wei felt exhausted, unable to understand what his good friend was thinking.

Li Xian's idea was simple. Since the other person was a talented individual, he'd poach her first. If he developed feelings for her later, it would be more convenient to avoid any awkward situations.

In short, he was just reversing the steps, which didn't affect the outcome.

Only Li Xian could come up with such a bizarre line of thinking.

"Bro... need a foot massage?" a soft voice sounded in his ear.

Something soft pressed down on his head, and a pair of soft hands rested on his shoulders. Li Xian tilted his head slightly, his vision obscured by a shadow, unable to see the other person's face clearly.

"Sis, your feet are down there, you're pressing on my head."
