Chapter 534: Chapter 334: Digging the Soil on Tai Sui’s Head!

Birds of spring chirping, beads and jade filled the garden.

The young ladies stood in a row, casting furtive glances at Tang Fei and Shen Yan, their eyes full of affection and faces beaming with the joy of spring. Some covered their mouths with their sleeves and whispered secrets to the familiar girls beside them.

"Those brothers sure are handsome."

"I wonder who will be the lucky sisters..."

Such whispers reached Tang Fei’s ears.

He inwardly approved of their taste. After all, these girls had made their choice...

In a place like this, the girls only had the role of being chosen by guests; they never had the privilege to choose their guests.

But everyone longs for beauty, and serving tall and handsome young men certainly made them happier.

Who would want to serve those pot-bellied, fat old men?

Tang Fei gave Shen Yan a signal with his eyes, saying, "You choose first."

Shen Yan, with a serious expression, replied, "You should choose first..."

It was just a broken arm, not a broken brain.

The etiquette in leadership: serve dishes to your boss first, let the boss win in cards, let the boss sip the tea first...

That’s a taboo in the workplace.

Tang Fei was his superior and benefactor. He was very satisfied with his promotion speed and didn’t want to offend such a strong backer.

Though it seemed the leader didn’t care much about these things, what if he secretly held a grudge?

If you chose a girl the leader liked, how could the leader still be in the mood to play?

Oh, they weren’t here to play; they were here on a case.

So, Tang Fei randomly picked the two girls who had just complimented his looks, saying, "Let’s go with these two."

Seeing the boss had chosen, Shen Yan hurriedly picked two girls nearby.

The other girls looked on with regret.

Xiao Yu clapped her hands and cheerfully said, "Then I wish the two bosses a fun evening. The rest of you, follow me out."

Quickly, the girls not chosen were led out by Xiao Yu.

The girl in red wrapped her arms around Tang Fei’s arm and coquettishly asked, "My name is Hong Ni. May I ask how to address you, young master?"

"I’m called Zhong Jiayuan," Tang Fei replied.

"Oh, Brother Zhong." Hong Ni giggled, "You really are handsome, and you look younger than me."

"I am big where it counts, and small where it matters," Tang Fei said.

Not to be outshone, the girl in white, worried that Hong Ni might steal all the attention, giggled behind her hand and asked, "Brother, where do you think should be big and where should be small?"

This was her way of throwing the ball in Tang Fei’s court; if he played along, a shameless joke would be completed, pleasing everyone around.

The atmosphere lively, they could naturally throw themselves into Tang Fei’s arms while scolding him playfully and thinking about how to drain him.

"My background is big, my heart is small," Tang Fei said seriously.

"..."

Shen Yan’s mouth twitched, boss, it seems you’ve really mastered how to play the game here.

Observing the room fall into an awkward silence, Hong Ni quickly changed the subject, "A moment in spring is worth a thousand gold pieces. Gentlemen, let’s drink and play games."

"Drinking and playing games." Tang Fei laughed, "This is my first time at your Winding Water Garden; let me see what this game of floating cups is all about."

Hong Ni led Tang Fei to the water’s edge, explaining, "As you can see, all guests sit around the stream. Staff release swans into the upper stream which floats slowly down. As they pass by or stop and quack in front of someone, that person must compose a poem and drink."

Tang Fei widened his eyes, "Compose a poem?"

No one ever mentioned this kind of game to him; he couldn’t compose poems, only trouble.

Shen Yan probably couldn’t either.

Do wealthy people really play at such a high level?

Hong Ni giggled softly, "That was the old way; now you just need to perform a talent. Some recite poems, some paint, some sing, and some even fence..."

"What if I can’t do any of those?"

"If you can’t do any..." Hong Ni’s eyes twinkled, "then you either give me a kiss or take a drink."

"My tolerance for alcohol is quite alright," Tang Fei said.

The girl in white spoke up, "If young master can’t handle it, kiss me, and I’ll drink for you."

Tang Fei laughed, "With such fine wine, I’d rather drink it myself."

"You’re too stingy, brother, not even willing to give us a kiss."

"That’s right, we wanted to drink for you."

"Without drunken men, where’s the chance for women?"

"Brother, let me toast to you. It’s our first meeting; please look after us."

"Please look after us."

After clinking glasses with them, Tang Fei nonchalantly asked, "Do many guests frequent this place?"

"Yes, our place is the most high-end and popular in Phoenix City. We always have a lot of guests; you can’t get in without a reservation," Hong Ni said proudly.

"There must be many celebrities and dignitaries visiting then?"

Hong Ni looked at Tang Fei and smilingly said, "Youthful master, we can’t answer that, nor dare to... We have rules here not to reveal the guests’ identity."

"That’s true, if we revealed your identity in front of others, you surely wouldn’t feel comfortable, would you?"
