The great philanthropist left with a smile.
Only Miss Qin, Yangyang, and two bodyguards remained in the private room.
Yangyang got up and came to Qin Ze, raising her hand to gently stroke his face.
You look a lot like my sister.
"You must behave tonight, okay?"
"You must do everything perfectly, absolutely."
After saying that, Yangyang followed one of the bodyguards away.
Qin Ze was left completely bewildered.
"This way."
Another bodyguard at the door spoke up.
Miss Qin was curious about what had happened.
He nodded obediently and followed the bodyguard with small steps.
Outside the private room, Sister Hong loudly berated Yangyang.
What's wrong with your brain?
"I've thrown myself into this for someone I've only met once, someone whose name I don't even know."
Is it worth it?
Yangyang smiled rather nonchalantly, " Sister Hong, I've really been quite tired these past few years."
I want to get some rest.
Sister Hong was exasperated. "You only have six months left on your contract, can't you just hold on a little longer?"
Yangyang said in a deep voice, "My dear sister, you've been here longer than I have."
Even if the contract expires, will I really be free?
Upon hearing this, Sister Hong fell into a long silence.
"That's fine then." Yangyang walked in another direction along the corridor, parting ways with Miss Qin.
Sister Hong pleaded with the bodyguard, "She's been working here for years, she won't say anything."
The bodyguard, devoid of emotion, said, "These are the rules, move aside."
Sister Hong was pushed so hard she landed on her bottom, and she gave Miss Qin a complicated look.
" President Chen is still waiting, hurry up," the bodyguard urged.
After several twists and turns, Qin Ze was led to a dressing room.
There was a male Tony with an afro and red lipstick inside.
"Hurry up, President Chen is still waiting." After giving the instructions, the bodyguard closed the door and stood guard outside.
Tony nodded. "Understood."
This is a separate dressing room.
It has a considerable area.
There are only three mirrors.
However, there were quite a few bottles and jars on the dressing table.
Qin Ze felt they could open a specialty store there.
"My younger sister is so beautiful; she looks like someone I used to know."
Teacher Tony pressed Qin Ze's shoulder and made him sit in the chair.
"You're new here, aren't you, little sister? I've never seen you before."
Miss Qin squeezed her fingers tightly and said, "The first day."
Tony, who was styling the hair, paused for a moment. "Your voice... is quite unique."
Qin Ze then explained, "I injured my vocal cords when I was a child."
Tony suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
I must say, Tony's skills are superb.
After simply styling his hair up in a bun, Qin Ze felt like he had undergone a complete transformation.
She transformed from a shy, innocent girl next door into a mature, older sister in an instant.
Next, Tony began applying makeup to Qin Ze.
"I know a little bit about President Chen's preferences."
Tonight I guarantee he won't be able to take his eyes off you.
Qin Ze started chatting with Tony: "How many years have you been working here?"
Tony replied, "This is the fourth year."
Qin Ze sighed, "Then you're considered a long-time employee, your salary must be quite high, right?"
Tony gave an unnatural smile. "I'm definitely one of the longer employees here."
Qin Ze said casually, "It's good that Sister Yangyang wasn't chosen today."
"I don't want to hang out with those old geezers either."
Tony, who was applying powder to Qin Ze's face, froze. "Which Yangyang?"
Qin Ze blinked innocently. "It's Yangyang, who's next to Sister Hong."
Thump--
Tony sat down on the floor with a thud.
"How... how could this happen?"
Qin Ze turned around in surprise and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Go back and go to bed early; staying up late is bad for your skin."
Tony shook his head dejectedly. "No, you don't understand."
Qin Ze rested his arms on the back of the chair, his chin on them.
Is there anything I don't know?
Tony whispered, "Those who aren't chosen will die."
Qin Ze frowned. "Why?"
Tony looked up at him. "You went into the private room, right?"
"Right."
"The conversation between the bigwigs must not be leaked; everyone present must die."
Qin Ze couldn't understand. "Why didn't you wait until we finished talking before calling us in?"
Tony smiled. "Perhaps this is a quirk unique to those in positions of power."
"Ordinary people are just disposable to them, no different from cats and dogs."
"In some ways, they're even inferior to cats and dogs."
"The rule here is that anyone who enters a private room will be executed that very night."
Qin Ze curled a strand of hair with his right index finger. "I've been chosen, so am I going to die too?"
Tony replied, "At least you'll survive tonight."
"If your performance surprises and satisfies Boss Chen, you might be able to continue living."
Hearing this, Qin Ze finally understood what Yangyang meant when they parted ways in the private room.
She wanted to live.
Unlike the treacherous Chen Zhong, Yangyang is a truly good person.
They actually gave him the chance to live.
It's worth noting that Chen Zhong initially chose Yangyang.
Wang Gang had a bye.
thump thump thump--
The impatient bodyguard knocked on the door. "Hurry up, President Chen can't wait that long."
Tony stood up from the ground. "Almost done."
He lit a cigarette with trembling hands and then placed it on the table.
" Yangyang, may you rest in peace. Let's be friends again in the next life."
After a pause, Tony added, "Forget it, let's not have an afterlife. This world isn't worth it."
After finishing all that, Tony continued applying makeup to Qin Ze.
But his eyes had lost all their luster.
Qin Ze could sense the heavy, gloomy aura emanating from the other person.
The loss of his friend was a great blow to him.
Qin Ze also realized what Tony meant by "veteran employee".
The people here are treated like disposable tools.
If someone can endure three or four years, they are indeed a veteran employee.
Qin Ze asked, "Why didn't you run away?"
Tony gave a bitter laugh, "Where do you think you're going?"
"From the moment we were sold here, we were already shackled."
"We signed a contract with the club that could last anywhere from a few years to several decades, and we can't leave until the contract is fulfilled."
"And they're under surveillance 24/7; there's no escaping it."
In this environment, let alone escape, even death is a luxury.
"This is really troublesome." Qin Ze suddenly sighed.
He had originally planned to have a thorough yet accessible discussion with President Chen tonight.
Because Xu Feng will most likely make a move tonight.
He simply waited in the room, ready to meet Brother Feng in person.
However, he now has to change his plans.
Yangyang took the blame for him tonight and even died for him, and at one point she even wrongly accused him.
She was a good person; she shouldn't have died here.
Let's leave it at that.
Qin Ze removed the hair ties from his head, feeling much more comfortable now.
"Where are you going?" Tony called out to Qin Ze. "You haven't finished your makeup yet, you can't leave, that's the rule."
Qin Ze's lips curled up. "Rules?"
My rules are the only rules.
Bang!
The door to the dressing room was kicked open by him in the next second.
