"How could it be possible? I...I'm old now, opportunities like this should be left to you younger ones... heh heh!"
Qiao Zhenfei seemed like he was about to brag quite impressively, but quickly pretended to be profound and adopted a "I see potential in you, young man" attitude as he spoke.
"Little Brother Qin, I've brought the booze, so why haven't you made a move yet? I noticed just now that there are a few girls over there who are not bad, hurry up and go for it..."
Almost immediately after Qiao Zhenfei finished speaking, Qin Fang heard Lan Yue's voice, and just like Qiao Zhenfei, she too was egging Qin Fang on to chat up the girls.
Qin Fang now understood why Qiao Zhenfei had suddenly changed his tune; turned out Lan Yue had come over, so he had quickly changed his speech.
Regarding this, Qin Fang could only smile. With both of them present, he couldn't use this to tease Qiao Zhenfei.
"Lan Yue, you've come just in time. I was just persuading Qin Fang to pick up girls, look at those few over there..."
Lan Yue naturally took a seat next to Qiao Zhenfei, with Hennessy, Lafite, and so on, each bottle quite valuable. It's presumed this was why Qiao Zhenfei brought him along; if it were other customers ordering these wines, it would probably be difficult to serve them the real deal.
"Those few... I know them, they're from the nearby Normal University, and the prettiest one is called Li Yuerong, height of 172 cm, weight of 90, measurements... uh, let's skip that, the most important point is, she's single..."
As Qiao Zhenfei pointed this out, Lan Yue looked over and immediately noticed the group of girls, smiling and carefully detailing the attributes of this girl named Li Yuerong.
"Uh... how do you know all this so well?"
This time, it was Qin Fang and Qiao Zhenfei who were surprised, able to know so much with just a glance? Wasn't that even better than Qin Fang's Scouting Skill?
"Of course I'm clear about it, they perform here every Wednesday and Saturday, and technically, they're my employees..."
At this point, Lan Yue also giggled, realising that's why she knew so much.
Most bars have resident singers, and Moonlight Bar is no exception... but instead of finding bar singers, Lan Yue recruited university students from nearby campuses to perform dances, sing... bringing these students a considerable income every month, and in a way, this was indirectly supporting the educational cause.
Of course, she wasn't just picking anyone; generally, she opted for girls from relatively poor families who were also quite virtuous.
Li Yuerong and five other girls were chosen by Lan Yue as a carefully selected singing group for the bar, performing every Wednesday and Saturday, earning a handsome income, which allowed them to smoothly finish their studies in Capital City, a city with considerable living expenses...
"Sister Lan, no more nonsense; Little Brother here toasts to you..."
Qin Fang hadn't expected Sister Lan to be such an admirable person and immediately poured himself a drink, offering a toast to her.
Qiao Zhenfei couldn't imagine how hard it was for students from poor families who still wanted to continue studying, but Qin Fang, having been through those times himself, understood the difficulty.
Sister Lan and Li Yuerong and the others were not related by blood, but she was capable of doing so much for them, which truly earned Qin Fang's admiration.
"Don't put Sister Lan on too high a pedestal, I'm just a regular person... come on, let's have a drink!"
Sister Lan was somewhat surprised by Qin Fang's emotions, but as someone who had been through a lot and as a mature woman, she understood very well which things could be asked about and which should not.
So she pretended to know nothing and happily drank a glass with Qin Fang...
Of course, with their commotion, the initial pressure from Qiao Zhenfei and Lan Yue for Qin Fang to go chat up girls had significantly faded, and the three of them just sat down, happily drinking away, not bothering to pay attention to Li Yuerong and the others anymore.
...
About five meters from Qin Fang, Li Yuerong and the other six women sat talking in pairs; their performances had a time limit, and since the show hadn't started yet, they could rest for a bit.
When girls get together, they naturally have their own topics of conversation, like handsome guys...
"Sister Lan actually came out to drink with customers herself, that's rare... Who are those two handsome guys? Could they be some important young masters from Capital City?"
"Very likely! The one sitting next to Sister Lan might be the Qiao Sanshao, a very impressive young master... If only I could catch the eye of Qiao Sanshao, that would be great..."
"Ah, Lili is being silly again..."
"Actually, the handsome guy opposite Sister Lan isn't bad either, he looks quite serious, probably another impressive young master..."
"Sister Lan already has Qiao Sanshao, that handsome guy is mine, none of you are allowed to fight with me for him..."
"Here we go again..."
While Qin Fang and his group were drinking, they were unaware that they were the topic of conversation among the girls nearby. One of the girls, who was quite pretty, seemed to have a bout of infatuation, setting her sights first on Qiao Zhenfei and then on Qin Fang, causing the other girls to burst into uncontrollable laughter.
In contrast, Li Yuerong was much quieter or perhaps appeared a bit anxious; her hand under the table was tightly clutching a phone, as if waiting for a call or hesitating to make one...
"Rongrong, what's wrong with you? You've been acting off these past few days..."
The girl sitting next to her, who had the closest relationship with Li Yuerong, being dormitory sisters and best friends who usually shared everything, noticed Li Yuerong's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"I... I'm fine... You're overthinking it..."
Li Yuerong's expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly brightened into a smile, suppressing the anxiety on her face... yet her hand under the table gripped the phone even tighter, the sweat from her palm fogging up the screen.
