Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!

Chapter 499: Chapter 402: The Beauty Trap

Inside the small private room, Cheng Zhu and Zhang Sixing had chatted for another half an hour.

Zhang Sixing said he could pull in three technical backbone members to join the team, and for the rest, ordinary recruitment would do.

The salary would be according to the normal market rate, and he added that he could take less.

From this stance, he looked like someone who would not stay and work here steadily.

It seemed as if he was a firefighting captain, there on an emergency basis.

Of course, it might have seemed to him that this team would not last long, perhaps running through the initial capital and then unable to continue.

To this, Cheng Zhu could understand.

A tech talent who was highly valued in a major internet company, where couldn’t he go?

As a freshman, to have such a person join his team from the outset was also somewhat serendipitous.

It was all thanks to the dazzling green light above his head and this trip to detention.

After discussing the serious matters, Cheng Zhu called in the cheongsam-wearing woman who was waiting outside to make tea.

Each private room in the Tea House came with a tea-serving attendant included in the room’s expense, akin to paying for a "princess" fee when you visited a clubhouse. Some larger clubhouses even required having two "princesses."

In the Tea House, if you didn’t want her to hear something, you could have her wait in the main hall.

These attendants possessed some skills; you could let her play the guzheng in the main hall, just as background music.

Cheng Zhu had been to the Tea House several times and knew there were a total of 24 private rooms, each named after one of the Twenty-four Solar Terms.

The regular service staff within the room would be addressed by the Solar Term corresponding to the room.

Just like the room Cheng Zhu was in now was named "Han Lu," thus the cheongsam woman was also called Han Lu.

And actually, her demeanor did carry a slight cool detachment, the exposed legs visible through the slits of her cheongsam were fair and slender.

This made Cheng Zhu think of a lady with unmatched cool and elegant demeanor, whom he hadn’t contacted in several days.

Indeed, as soon as the cheongsam woman named Han Lu entered the room and sat down, Zhang Sixing appeared somewhat ill at ease.

Unlike Cheng Zhu, who after chatting casually, could see some of the iciness on her face melt away, leaving her eyes subtly smiling.

Clearly, her coolness wasn’t genuine.

Unlike a certain haughty girl whose aloof demeanor and eternally standoffish posture always made Cheng Zhu want to tease her.

Now during the casual chat phase, he asked Zhang Sixing about the countries he had visited and the local customs he had experienced during his global travel.

Turns out this guy was indeed quite dull, not interesting at all in conversation, making his global travels seem rather boring too.

Some people, despite having common sights and experiences, can captivate you with their vibrant descriptions, making everything seem thrilling.

A few probes had given Cheng Zhu a basic understanding of Zhang Sixing.

"Deeply envy the misfortunate."

"Wants to be adventurous."

"But can’t seem to manage it."

Lucky to meet me.

I lack tech talents, and you lack a guide in your life’s path.

— A mutual rush forward!

Cheng Zhu smiled at Zhang Sixing, "Are you free tonight? I can introduce you to a potential future partner."

Zhang Sixing instinctively wanted to refuse.

He was a tech guy, not good at socializing, and quite averse to it.

But then he thought again, as he really couldn’t bear to stay at home.

Dean Zhang recently would pull him for ideological education whenever he had time.

Moreover, both his own home and his parents’ home harbored too many shared memories of that woman and their two children.

So, Zhang Sixing silently nodded.

Cheng Zhu took out his phone and directly sent a WeChat message to Zhu Youwei, the boss of the top internet celebrity company in Hang City.

"Bro Zhu, have you returned from Hainan?"

"Just got back a couple of days ago. What’s up, Mr. Cheng?" Zhu Youwei replied jokingly.

The two got along well in certain respects.

After the New Year’s Eve, Zhu Youwei had taken a few of his internet celebrities to Hainan.

He had them shoot numerous yacht swimsuit photos and even rented a villa with a swimming pool.

Of course, this was the job content for these internet celebrities.

Just that two of these young internet celebrities happened to be his newest flings.

"Got a room tonight, come out for a little get-together, have some drinks, sing some tunes," Cheng Zhu sent the invitation.

"Sure, how many people on your side?" Zhu Youwei asked promptly.

"Just two guys here," Cheng Zhu replied.

He believed Zhu Youwei had gotten the signal and knew how to make arrangements.

"So I’ll bring a few people from the company then? We’ll treat it as a team building in Mr. Cheng’s room, ha ha!" Zhu Youwei was always clever in speech.

It was plainly about having ladies accompany, yet he made it sound elegant.

That was precisely what Cheng Zhu meant, but glancing at the earnest and simple Zhang Sixing, he felt he needed to provide Zhu Youwei with more information to prevent any inappropriate settings.

"Sure, let’s not return till drunk tonight. This friend of mine is nursing some heartbreak," he typed.

Zhu Youwei: Got it!

Heartbroken ones, easy to handle!

Bring a few sensible ladies who know how to have a good time.

Simply speaking, socially smart lively gals.

In Cheng Zhu’s view, what the hell was the use of a solo global journey?

Still have to see my arrangements!

An emotional healing adventure, commence!

As they were leaving the Tea House, Zhang Sixing watched the cheongsam woman named Han Lu actively add Cheng Zhu on WeChat before finally escorting the two to the parking lot and departing.
