"So, brother, don't hide it. After listening to your words, I know that you must be a veteran who has been in this business for a long time. You must have a little wife, right?"
Bai Wu had no expression on his face. Ming Che continued on the other end of the phone:
"Remember to bring it. This is the rule and also the way you gain recognition."
This so-called wives' gathering was actually a resource sharing and exchange meeting where the opposite sex was treated as commodities. Naturally, there would be no good people there. If Bai Wu wanted to bring a woman, when he made it clear that the nature of the gathering was important, it would be like degrading and belittling this woman in some way.
He doesn't want this.
"There are no exceptions. Can I serve tea and water? Or can I bring a man?"
"You are joking?"
The clear tone of the voice on the other end of the phone changed. After hearing Bai Wu's words, his expression suddenly became strange.
A man? Does he have potential in this area
"Just joking." It was indeed impossible for Bai Wu to bring a man with him.
"If you want to find a guide, you must bring a woman with you, because among the nobles who disappeared before, none of them served tea or water, and none of them were single. You can even say that the more beautiful the woman you bring, the easier it is to attract the attention of the guide."
Mingche's source of information might not be true, but Bai Wu had no other reference, so he had to agree. But at the same time, he also had to ask clearly:
"Come to think of it, if the other person's wife isn't that pretty, I should be able to refuse the exchange, right?"
"Of course, if you bring a beautiful woman, they won't dare to exchange with you for any ugly girl. They usually add money if they can't find a suitable one."
"That's fine, I understand. See you tomorrow."
"Hahahaha... Then I look forward to your performance tomorrow."
Bai Wu hung up the phone.
So don't have any illusions about anyone's moral cleanliness. Mingche is a very good leader. He is generous in his personal conduct, smart and tactful in his work, and he has good abilities as well.
But if you get closer, you will find that this person may be greedy for your wife. When you get close to someone, the dark side of their heart will be magnified.
But this time, Bai Wu really misunderstood Mingche. Mingche is a businessman, and only secondarily a person with all kinds of desires.
He seems to like beautiful women very much, but he can also be very restrained.
Bai Wu actually already had a plan regarding the candidate for the "ticket". He called Liu Chengzi, who picked up the call immediately.
"Hey, I was just thinking about how boring the Survey Corps was and wondering where my soulmate was, and then my brother called me."
"Okay, use this trick on other men. I'm going to attend a high-level ball tomorrow. The attendees are all well-known nobles, but they must bring a female companion."
"Wow, so you thought of me? I didn't expect that I was so important to my brother."
Bai Wu is a little embarrassed:
"Listen to me first. This dance is essentially... a not-so-good dance. Let me think about how to explain it..."
For a moment, it was difficult to speak. Bai Wu always felt that thinking of Liu Chengzi at first sight might be insulting to the other party.
However, Liu Chengzi himself came to his senses during the silence of the white fog:
"Don't say anything yet! Let me guess, the dance you are going to attend is not that kind of... a gathering for old perverts, right? The kind where people exchange partners?"
Liu Chengzi was able to guess it by himself? This surprised Bai Wu:
"Yeah."
"That's so exciting! Are you going to investigate the missing girl case, and you found some clues and thought there might be clues to the missing girl case here?"
It makes sense. Bai Wu does suspect that the so-called Country of Daughters might be related to the missing girl case.
Liu Chengzi has always been upset about this case because her good friend disappeared in this case.
“I guess so.”
"I see. It has to be me! I also want to go and broaden my horizons."
I originally thought this was very offensive to Liu Chengzi, but I didn't expect the girl to agree directly.
Bai Wu suddenly said:
"Aren't you angry that I only think of you on this occasion?"
"This kind of situation? You won't really trade me to someone else. I'm not that stingy."
Liu Chengzi really didn't care, even though the boyfriends she had dated could be lined up from the bargain hunting port to the Eastern Square.
But her views on many things between the sexes are just clear-headed, not self-indulgent and unrespectful.
Especially the men and women at the bottom, aren’t they just pieces of cargo in the eyes of the top
Bai Wu said:
"You can rest assured that I will keep you safe."
There was no response from the other end of the phone, and Bai Wu faintly heard the voice of another woman.
He frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling.
When the voice came from the phone again, it was no longer Liu Chengzi's voice.
"Bai Wu, are you investigating the disappearance of a low-income girl? Have you made any progress? I heard that you need a partner? One is a partner, two are also partners, why not take me with you as well." There was a hint of playfulness in Ruan Qingyun's tone.
Ah this...
The voice of the short sister-in-law came from the other end of the phone, which caught Bai Wu off guard.
He suddenly remembered that after Short Brother became the head of the group, Short Sister-in-law began to intervene in some of Short Brother's affairs and helped Short Brother share some of the work.
Liu Chengzi was essentially recruited by Shorty, and was included in the new organization by Shorty's wife.
"Madam boss... this isn't very appropriate, is it? After all, this place is full of people who don't respect women very much."
"Although Chengzi is still a member of your Team 7, she is also working for me. You also know that the occasion is not appropriate, and I am worried about her." After all, Ruan Qingyun is the big boss of Guituimo Office, and his aura is obviously different.
Bai Wu said:
"I'm afraid the captain will find out..."
"He's busy. What's the matter? Do you think Orange can go but I can't? Are you also classifying people into different levels? Aren't you afraid of hurting the girl's feelings? Or do you think I'm not pretty enough to go?"
Ruan Qingyun and Liu Chengzi are both a few years older than Bai Wu. The two women are of similar age, but based on her experience and aura, Liu Chengzi still calls her Sister Ruan.
"How could that be? Madam Boss, you are the most beautiful woman in the world, and my captain is a perfect match."
Bai Wu frowned even deeper. Liu Chengzi could be considered pretty, but the boss lady was absolutely stunning.
And I'm bringing two with me, so they will probably be the focus of the whole party.
The advantage is that Mingche will definitely treat me better in the future. According to Mingche, I should also be able to attract the attention of the person who is to guide me as soon as possible.
The downside is - if Shorty gets to know about this, wouldn't that be like trying to undermine the deep comradeship between Shorty and me
Taking the short man's future wife to a partner exchange party? What kind of thing is this? Even if the neighbor Wang is the protagonist, the novel would not dare to write like this.
But Ruan Qingyun said:
"That's settled then."
"Then you have to tell the captain yourself and say that you forced me to go."
“Hahahaha…” Ruan Qingyun laughed so hard that her body shook.
"Don't worry, your captain won't make things difficult for you."
"I hope not." Bai Wu hung up the phone.
…
…
The next afternoon, Ruan Qingyun and Liu Chengzi, one on each side, took Bai Wu to the clothing store on the ground floor and spent several thousand dollars to buy him a set of clothes.
These clothes are actually out of season styles from a few years ago, but they are all genuine. If you go to the third floor to buy them, you won’t be able to get them without more than 100,000 taels.
Bai Wu was a little skeptical at first, but the two women were too familiar with this:
"The occasion is the most important disguise. When you show up with me and Orange, the clothes you wear just need to be decent. No one will wonder why you are wearing the style from a few years ago. They will just think that you are a person who doesn't like change and is nostalgic."
Every profession has its own expertise, and in this kind of thing, Bai Wu is indeed no match for the two women. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is true.
Being able to appear in the clear Mingyu Manor has solved some problems in itself.
This was just like some of the famous aid workers in his previous life. They tried hard to appear in certain places because in the eyes of most people, as long as they were there, it could explain a lot of problems.
It doesn’t matter whether the stockings you’re wearing are pieced together, whether the bag is rented, whether the ball skirt is shared, or whether the exquisite drinks can only be posed for photos.
After everything was ready, Bai Wu, Ruan Qingyun and Liu Chengzi went to the third floor.
When he was in the elevator, he already felt that he would probably be very busy at this dance.
Liu Chengzi is petite. Although she used to be a hollow ball, she has a proud waist and legs. She chose a champagne-colored evening dress, which is simple, highlights her waist, and is full of design sense.
In an instant, she became a bargain-hunting beauty at the port, and then a fashionable lady on the third floor of a high tower.
As for Ruan Qingyun, it seemed that she was born to make countless men look up to her head. She was very tall, so much so that sometimes she often wondered whether she had to bend over if she wanted to kiss Gu Qingyu.
Today, she was wearing a long black skirt and black high heels. Her legs were enough to excite many old perverts at the dance, but if they saw her face... I'm afraid other people's "business" would not be very good tonight.
The white fog was the focus all the way. After arriving at the third floor, Mingche quickly sent a special car to pick them up.
He had long felt that Bai Wu was a man who, like himself, knew how to choose women very well.
The moment Mingche saw Ruan Qingyun and Liu Chengzi, he was stunned.
He was not the kind of pervert who couldn't move when seeing a woman, but he simply didn't expect that this Brother Bai could hide so deeply.
"The moment I saw your two wives, I decided to be your brother."
Ruan Qingyun and Liu Chengzi covered their mouths and chuckled. It was just a show for the occasion and they were not that pretentious. They did not feel offended.
Mingche is also very graceful and well-mannered. He has no shortage of women, nor does he lack good women.
On the way to Mingyu Manor, he chatted happily with Bai Wu and never glanced at Liu Chengzi and Ruan Qingyun with any obscene eyes.
He also knew Bai Wu's real purpose this time, and he was afraid that Bai Wu would not give up both the big beauty and the little beauty.
Bai Wu was a little surprised by Mingche's performance, but he found it more pleasing to his eyes.
This kind of person is capable of doing great things. He likes something, but he will stop at just his liking and will never fall for it.
"Brother Bai, you really surprised me today. I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear?"
"bad news."
"You may have a bit too much socializing tonight. Two beautiful ladies, you are sure to attract a lot of attention and interest."
Bai Wu nodded:
"It's not a big problem. I don't believe anyone can use other women to exchange two beautiful women from me. It's not that I have confidence in myself, but I have confidence in them two."
Ruan Qingyun smiled. Bai Wu was quite sweet-mouthed.
Ming Che thought so too. He had attended too many such dances. He really couldn't find anyone who could compare to the tall beauty brought by Bai Wu.
Even though the other one is petite, she is still very pleasing to the eye.
Although he was envious, Mingche didn't care at all. He continued to talk about the business:
"Another good news is that I can assert that the guide will definitely look for you tonight."
"Okay." Bai Wu understood.
Chatting and laughing, the group soon arrived at Mingyu Manor.
Even the proprietress of Guituimo Office, who had seen a lot of the world and handled a lot of business, had to admit that Mingyuzhuang was indeed a building with a very aristocratic atmosphere.
The dance was held on the second floor of the main building of the manor.
There was no white fog here. At first glance, it looked more like a chic restaurant. Everything was very similar to the British upper-class social gatherings in the previous life, except that the food on the table was very unappetizing.
It was as if you had entered a private kitchen that only received a few guests a day, and the first dish placed on the jade table was a plate of fresh shit.
Looking at the artistically presented platter of nutritious meals, Bai Wu no longer had any expectations for the dance.
He arrived neither too early nor too late, as more guests continued to arrive later. Among the guests who had arrived, they were already being entertained by the staff arranged by Mingche and had started to discuss various matters.
The warm yellow light reflected by the crystal chandelier, the upper-class pop music with lazy singing, and the low conversations between men and women have begun to build up the atmosphere of the so-called party.
Mingche said:
"You can choose any girl you like and then talk to her owner. As for what to talk about, you know. Now, go in with everyone's jealousy."
Bai Wu walked into the ballroom surrounded by Ruan Qingyun and Liu Chengzi.
At this moment, many people are still thinking about how to persuade other men and complete the transaction by raising the price to a certain extent.
The moment the white fog came in, they just glanced at it out of habit, and then they couldn't look away.
The warm yellow light and soothing music were instantly diluted by the two women beside Bai Wu.
The old perverts suddenly became excited.
"I suddenly changed my mind. Maybe I should keep my tassel and talk to that little brother over there?" said a fat man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and yellow teeth.
The woman behind him is petite, beautiful and a bit coquettish. The combination of these two is definitely a money-first combination in the orthodox sense.
"Really? Then you still have to talk to me eventually. To be honest, I like you too." The thin middle-aged man looked greedy.
He is more handsome and has more money than this fat guy. If the other party is willing to make a deal, whether it is a woman or a man, they will definitely prefer to do business with him.
Bai Wu's eyes swept across the entire place. These people treated women as commodities, and he had no good feelings towards them.
He was not in a hurry to find a place to sit down because no one liked to talk business while standing. Once he found a place to sit, he would have to be busy dealing with these old perverts.
His purpose was just to find a guide, and he believed that the guide was hiding among this group of people.
However, the speed of finding the guide was much faster than Bai Wu had imagined, and this guide... turned out to be a woman.
The woman's eyes were sharp. There was a man next to her who also looked like a wealthy aristocrat. However, the expressions of the two of them were as if the woman was the master and the man was just a servant.
The ruler from the fifth floor, as the guardian of the Zhong family, she has the same item as you - the traction wheel. Don't be curious about why she, as a woman from the fifth floor, came here. The Zhong family is a very special family. In the eyes of their patriarch, even their own children are just goods. Think about it, you once met the daughter of the Zhong family in a manor. But you'd better wait for her to come to you, instead of you going to her.
