He glanced over at Zhou Jingliang and Zhang Jingjing. They were having a blast, so this was a good chance to pick his treasure.
"Select treasure."
The Veteran Actor Treasure Chest appeared. After opening them one by one, he found three small, transparent vials.
Treasure Chest 1: Basic Nourishing Potion (Reduces chance of illness by 10%, increases cell activity by 10%)
Treasure Chest 2: Mid-Level Nourishing Potion (Reduces chance of illness by 50%, increases cell activity by 50%)
Treasure Chest 3: High-Level Nourishing Potion (Reduces chance of illness by 90%, increases cell activity by 90%)
Lin Jiang: ???
’Is this some kind of advanced gameplay?’
’This is pretty damn awesome!’
’And a little too tempting!’
The rewards were great, but the downside was that he didn’t have any Items on hand, so it would be hard to exploit any bugs.
"Select treasure."
A brilliant light flashed.
[Selection successful: Mid-Level Nourishing Potion (When consumed, reduces chance of illness by 50%; when made into a facial mask, increases cell activity by 50%)]
’Not bad. As long as it’s not the lowest level, I’m good.’
’If these NPCs knew about this effect, wouldn’t they be fighting over it?’
’Especially Qin Yangyang.’
An image of her immediately appeared in Lin Jiang’s mind.
「A little after six in the evening」
The three of them left Disney.
"Liangliang, I have plans with my senior, so I have to go," Zhang Jingjing said.
"Okay, you go ahead."
The two guys were planning to drink and chat tonight, so Zhou Jingliang didn’t really want her to tag along anyway. It would be more relaxed that way.
"Where are you two eating? I can give you a ride."
Lin Jiang was being proactive, which also gave Zhou Jingliang a lot of face.
"No, no, it’s fine. I’ll just grab a cab. You two go get something to eat. I don’t want to trouble you."
With that, Zhang Jingjing walked to the roadside and got into a taxi that was waiting there, as if afraid Lin Jiang would insist on driving her.
"Now it’s just the two of us. Time to get those drinks lined up, right?"
Zhou Jingliang said, stretching his body, ready to battle Lin Jiang until dawn.
"Tonight, I’m gonna show you a real good time."
The two got in the car, and Lin Jiang headed for the clubhouse.
"You still haven’t said where we’re going for this ’good time’."
"Don’t worry about it. I guarantee you’ll have a good time, and that’s all that matters."
The evening traffic was a bit heavy. It took them over forty minutes to reach the clubhouse.
"I fucking knew it. I know you too well. I guessed you’d bring me to a place like this. Let’s go, let’s go! I’m practically dying of thirst."
Lin Jiang parked the car and led Zhou Jingliang into the clubhouse.
The moment Lin Jiang walked in, everyone in the lobby immediately straightened up.
"President Lin."
Zhou Jingliang’s gaze turned suggestive. "Not bad, huh? ’President Lin.’ You’re clearly a regular here."
"It’s not about being a regular. I bought the place."
"Holy shit, you bought a clubhouse?"
"It’s convenient for some after-drinking entertainment. The only drawback is the decor is a little dated. I’m planning to renovate it in a while."
"Seeing you doing so well... I’m so fucking happy for you."
"Easy there, you’re about to grind your back teeth to dust."
"Am I? I’m just happy, that’s all. I’m so fucking happy."
Lin Jiang slung an arm around Zhou Jingliang and said with a laugh:
"Alright, enough of this useless chatter. Later, I’ll set you up with a tall, domineering beauty in black stockings and make sure you have a real good time."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go."
The two of them headed for the second floor, just in time to see Feng Huiying coming down the stairs.
"President Lin, you’re here."
Lin Jiang nodded. "Is everything arranged?"
"Yes, it’s all arranged."
"Alright, you can get back to your work."
He led Zhou Jingliang up to a private KTV room on the second floor, with Feng Huiying following close behind.
The table was laden with alcohol, fruit platters, and other snacks.
Zhou Jingliang plopped down on the sofa and, without a word, popped two 5J cherries into his mouth.
"Man, this is the life. I never would have dared to order this much stuff at a place like this before."
"Take it easy. The even more interesting part is yet to come."
Lin Jiang looked back and gave Feng Huiying a meaningful look. She understood immediately.
A short while later, she led in a dozen or so female attendants.
Lin Jiang gave them a quick scan. Three of them were the female employees he’d received as a reward from Tongzi. The rest must have been busy and couldn’t make it.
Zhou Jingliang’s eyes went wide, and he even put down the 5J cherries in his hand.
"Can I keep all of them?"
Lin Jiang laughed. "Can you handle this many?"
"Even if I can’t, I still want to keep them all. I want to enjoy the treatment of an emperor tonight."
"No problem."
Lin Jiang waved a hand at Feng Huiying, signaling that she didn’t need to stay.
After the private room door was closed, Lin Jiang said to the female attendants:
"Tonight, as long as President Zhou is happy, everyone gets a 2,000 yuan bonus at the end of the month."
"Thank you, President Lin."
The boss had brought a friend over. Even without the bonus, these women would have done everything in their power to entertain him. After all, their livelihoods depended on the boss.
That night, Lin Jiang showed his friend what it truly meant to be lost in pleasure.
He didn’t drink much, just sat off to the side.
Human emotions are strange like that. Seeing a good friend happy can make you genuinely happy too.
A little after ten at night, seeing that Zhou Jingliang had had about enough to drink, Lin Jiang sent the female attendants away.
He took him for a shower, and then they went to a private room where he called in two of the female attendants rewarded by Tongzi for a full-service spa treatment.
"Holy shit, I almost forgot the important thing." Zhou Jingliang suddenly sat up.
"She should be done with dinner by now. I have to go pick her up."
"Just get the address, I’ll have someone pick her up."
"No, that won’t work. Jingjing is timid and doesn’t feel comfortable with strangers. I have to be the one to get her."
As he spoke, Zhou Jingliang sent Zhang Jingjing a video call, but it was hung up after a few rings.
Lin Jiang rested his head on his clasped hands and clicked his tongue. ’This dude really is a simp.’
He checked the time on his phone. Girls usually finish dinner relatively early. It was a bit strange for her not to answer a video call at this hour.
"Why’d she hang up on me? Is she busy?" Zhou Jingliang muttered.
Lin Jiang didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to comment on someone else’s business.
’But it’s so late. What the hell could she be busy with?’
RING RING RING—
Just then, Zhou Jingliang’s phone rang. It was a call from Zhang Jingjing.
"Babe, why didn’t you answer my video call just now?"
"Um, I’m at my senior’s place. She’s wearing some pretty revealing pajamas, so it wouldn’t be good for you to see."
"Oh, I see. It’s getting late, I’ll come pick you up."
"My senior was in a good mood today and had a little to drink. I’m worried she might not feel well later tonight, so I’m planning to stay over with her. You don’t need to come get me."
"Isn’t it a bit much to stay at someone else’s place?"
"It’s not a big deal, we’re really close. Don’t worry about it, ah—"
Zhang Jingjing’s sudden scream startled Zhou Jingliang.
"What’s wrong, babe?"
"I just bumped into the corner of the table. It hurts."
"Quick, rub it."
"Mm, I’m okay, don’t worry. I have to go take care of my senior. I’m hanging up now, talk to you later."
"Okay, then tomorrow—"
Without giving Zhou Jingliang a chance to say more, Zhang Jingjing hung up the phone.
Lin Jiang lay with his hands clasped behind his head, saying nothing.
’Fuck, why does this scene feel so familiar?’
’Back then, when Xu Lin got a call from Zhao Dongyuan, I think she also said she bumped into the corner of a table.’
’Don’t tell me my words are coming true. Is she really busy with... that?’
