The One You Invited Yourself

Feng Jun had to admit that he thoroughly enjoyed the envious gazes of Li Qiang and Zhang Wei.

Back at the restaurant, the two of them had acted like they were the kings of the world, but now, weren't they still looking at him with pathetic, longing eyes?

However, having said that, even if his energy points were relatively abundant now, he couldn't just waste them like this, right?

With that, he bared his teeth in a grin. "My sixth sense only works for me. As for you guys... heh, I'm afraid I can't help you there."

Li Qiang, however, was a sharp-eyed man; he could tell just from the tone of voice that the other party was being insincere.

He kept cupping his hands in a gesture of pleading. "Brother Feng, please, do me a favor. I've never been one to beg... How about this? The goods you asked Da Wei for earlier, I'll help you track them down, how about that?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Wei chimed in, shouting. "I lost the bet fair and square. Qiangzi, are you looking down on me by saying that? If you ask me, you should just keep betting with Brother Feng."

The other hostesses, hearing this, all chimed in to stir the pot. "That's right, handsome, you should bet with Brother Feng."

To be honest, they rarely saw such interesting games, so they were naturally happy to join in the fun.

"Alright then," Li Qiang steeled himself and laid out the stakes. "Brother Feng, if you can use my phone to add a beauty too, I'll treat you to Mingjuehui ten times... no, I'll treat you to the bar ten times."

Feng Jun rolled his eyes at this. "Going to the bar that often, what's the point? Brother Qiang, if you can pay me in cash, I might consider it."

At Li Qiang's level, talking about money directly in a bet felt a bit beneath his status.

However, since the other party had already set the terms, he nodded without hesitation. "Fine, cash it is. I'll count it as thirty thousand... oh no, fifty thousand, how about that?"

Given his status, spending five thousand on a single trip to the bar was quite a significant gesture.

However, since he had placed his bet, he naturally had to consider the possibility of winning. "If you lose, you pay the bill for tonight. What do you say?"

The bill for tonight wouldn't be too expensive; everyone was just drinking beer and hadn't ordered any hard liquor. The bulk of the cost was in the tips for the hostesses and the girls, which would basically cap out at five thousand.

Li Qiang was afraid that if he set the stakes too high, he would scare Feng Jun off, which was why he proposed such an asymmetrical bet.

Feng Jun, hearing this, felt a bit tempted—fifty thousand, it seemed worth a shot?

If he had encountered this bet before he sold the jade, he would have agreed without hesitation. But now, he was only slightly tempted and didn't nod immediately.

The hostess sitting beside him noticed this and intentionally changed the subject. "Brother Feng, this on the back of your hand... is it a tattoo?"

As she asked, she reached out with her slender fingers and gently stroked his wrist. "Oh, it really is tattooed on."

Feng Jun sobered up in an instant: his fortuitous encounter was for a greater purpose; it couldn't become a tool for picking up girls.

Moreover, if this mark caught someone's eye and the color changed, there was no guarantee it wouldn't be noticed.

It was better to keep such strange occurrences to a minimum.

Another hostess heard this, leaned over to look, and smiled slightly. "Heh, this tattoo of Brother Feng's is really unique... does it have any meaning?"

"Just got it done randomly," Feng Jun replied nonchalantly, then looked at Li Qiang with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Brother Qiang, do you really want to bet?"

"Absolutely," Li Qiang replied with a smile. "But the standard has to be about the same as that Hao Fengjing of yours."

"That's a tall order," Feng Jun shook his head and replied with a smile. "As you said earlier, beauties are a scarce resource."

Zhang Wei laughed out loud at this. "Brother Feng is teasing us again. To others, beauties are a scarce resource, but for you, is that even a problem? You can just snap your fingers and have them."

He had the same thoughts as Li Qiang, and now that Qiangzi had brought it up, he was naturally going to egg him on.

In fact, that Hao Fengjing from earlier had left him quite tempted—not only was she a top-tier beauty, but she was also someone met through the 'People Nearby' feature, which usually meant she wouldn't be too pretentious and should be easy to get.

However, she was already in Feng Jun's pocket, so he naturally wouldn't try to steal someone else's prize.

Feng Jun nodded, speaking with a straight face. "It really is a problem... I can't just snap my fingers and have them."

Then he looked at Li Qiang again. "Brother Qiang, it's not that I can't help you add people, but I have to state in advance that if my sixth sense helps you pick someone, there are two possibilities..."

He couldn't refuse the other party outright because his method of adding people had already been seen.

Come to think of it, he had been inspired to use this method by the girls who accepted his red packets—since sending red packets could help him reject others' harassment, sending them was definitely a justified way to harass others.

Using this method to add people really wasn't difficult; as long as you were willing to spend money, it was easy. And if you wanted to be even more sleazy, you could do as Zhang Wei said—if it turned out to be an ugly woman, you could just block her immediately, saving the red packet money.

In short, there was no technical skill involved. He could add people this way, and so could Li Qiang. All he had to do was tap the phone a couple of times for Li Qiang.

It was just a couple of taps; could he really refuse such a simple request? That would be too pretentious, wouldn't it?

Therefore, he had to find another way to refuse. "The first possibility is that I might add a beauty, but the second possibility is that I might add an ugly woman!"

"Huh?" Before Li Qiang could even speak, the hostess beside Feng Jun curled her lip. "An ugly woman?"

"That's right, an ugly woman," Feng Jun nodded, stating it very firmly. "I can guarantee, she'll be ugly beyond belief."

"Uh," Li Qiang bared his teeth in distress upon hearing this. He was willing to bet fifty thousand because he was chasing a romantic encounter; spending money to find an ugly woman... wasn't that just being sick?

Besides, listen to how he put it—ugly beyond belief!

Seeing his expression, the hostesses burst into laughter, and the private room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"What's so funny about that?" Zhang Wei was a bit unhappy. Like most people, although he came to nightlife venues to have fun and sometimes took a decent-looking hostess out, deep down, he looked down on these people.

Therefore, he couldn't quite accept his friend being laughed at by a group of nightlife workers.

However, he wasn't a killjoy. A moment later, he tilted his head to look at Feng Jun and asked very seriously, "Two possibilities... meaning, both extremely beautiful and extremely ugly are possible?"

"That goes without saying," Feng Jun nodded, thinking to himself that in reality, there was only the possibility of them being extremely ugly.

He wasn't stupid; he could clearly sense that Zhang Wei was also a bit tempted. If he showed off and helped Li Qiang add a beauty, then Zhang Wei would immediately hand over his phone next.

Zhang Wei looked at Li Qiang thoughtfully, "Qiangzi... don't you want to give it a try? It might even be a beauty."

Broadly speaking, a bet of fifty thousand yuan was really just a bit of fun, though the amount of money was a bit high—even for someone with their net worth, it wasn't a small sum.

Li Qiang shook his head with a bitter expression, "Pay money to find an ugly woman? Da Wei, if you want to try it, then you go ahead."

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes, "How about this, if you lose, I'll cover twenty-five thousand for you... how's that?"

"Not great," Li Qiang glared and said loudly, "Da Wei, if you want to try, I can cover twenty-five thousand for you too... no, I'll cover thirty thousand, you want to try?"

Zhang Wei laughed upon hearing this, "I'll try it then, but Qiangzi... if it turns out to be a beauty, she's mine, don't even think about getting a piece of the action."

Li Qiang felt a headache coming on; if you add a beauty... damn it, I put up thirty thousand, and I get nothing?

This feeling was truly agonizing.

Just as he was hesitating, the hostess beside him chimed in to egg him on, "Handsome, Brother Qiang... why not just give it a try? If you end up drawing someone ugly, aren't I right here beside you?"

She was dead set on watching the drama; it was just too entertaining.

"Exactly," Zhang Wei slapped his thigh and laughed out loud, "You've got a beauty here to cleanse your eyes, what are you afraid of?"

Li Qiang steeled himself and handed his phone to Feng Jun, "Fine, let's try it then. Da Wei, you've committed to twenty-five thousand, remember that."

When playing in this scene, the point was not to lose face even if you lost the game; it was just money, right? What of it? It wasn't like they couldn't afford it.

Seeing this, Feng Jun felt a bit of mischievousness rise in his heart. He said with a straight face, "Brother Qiang, let's be clear: if you add someone, you have to go through with it... otherwise, not only will I have leaked heavenly secrets, but I'll also be defying the will of heaven, which will cost me years of my life."

"No problem," Zhang Wei nodded decisively, "I support what President Feng says."

Li Qiang turned his head to glare at him: Damn it, is this the legendary "stabbing your brother in the back for a woman"?

Zhang Wei winked at him, the movement so slight it was almost imperceptible: How would he know whether you actually met up or not?

As for whether little Feng would lose years of his life, setting aside whether that was true or not, there was one thing: it was little Feng losing his life, not their problem.

Li Qiang understood his meaning in an instant, but after a brief pause, he still expressed appropriate indignation, "President Feng, if you add an ugly woman, I will definitely send her your business card... I spent fifty thousand, we have to share the burden."

The hostesses laughed until they were doubled over, shaking like a flock of hens that had just laid eggs.

Feng Jun refused to back down, glancing at him sideways, "I'm telling you, Brother Qiang, it was you who asked me to help add someone, I'm not the one desperate to use you as a test subject."

Li Qiang rolled his eyes, rendered speechless, "Fine, fine, say no more, just get on with it."

Feng Jun looked at him, pushed his phone back, and then raised his own phone, "I have to use my phone, your phone... really won't work!"

Li Qiang lit a cigarette and downed the beer in front of him in one gulp, thinking to himself that this guy was really getting carried away.

Zhang Wei watched Feng Jun swiping on his phone, his eyes flickering as he wondered what he was thinking.

The hostesses really wanted to lean in and see how President Feng was choosing the person, but since someone had already been rebuffed earlier, they could only watch longingly from afar.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Feng Jun casually swiped his phone a couple of times, paused for a moment, then raised his phone and flashed a grin at Li Qiang, "Na Shi Hua Kai... the one within two kilometers."
