Chapter 594: 499 Qin Garden_2

Luo Peng leaned his elbow on the balcony railing, "With thick thighs like yours available for hugging, I’m running home to beg for money, as if I really enjoy being belittled."

"Good to know you understand that."

"Jiang Chen, I really admire you,"

Luo Peng suddenly said.

"What do you admire?"

"Just don’t tell Li Shuru, okay?"

Luo Peng whispered, "I used to think she was just a gold-digger who was also very good at pretending, but now I realize I was wrong."

Jiang Chen laughed.

"You’re not afraid I’ll take offense with you talking about her like that?"

Luo Peng glanced at him, "If I were afraid of your opinion, I wouldn’t say it."

"So, you have to learn to see the essence through the appearance."

Jiang Chen boasted shamelessly, as if really having the wisdom to see the true worth.

Luo Peng, naturally unaware of the specifics, exclaimed, "You really understand women."

Jiang Chen remained composed.

"Zheng Jingjing is also not too bad..."

Luo Peng hurriedly interrupted with a wry smile, "Stop, don’t say anymore. Why do you all want to play matchmaker? There’s really no spark between that girl and me."

Jiang Chen laughed.

"Quit finding excuses. You’re worried that if you were with Zheng Jingjing, you’d have a hard time getting away because of Li Shuru, right?"

Luo Peng put on an expression of earnest respect, "Jiang Chen, you really get me."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"What are you two talking about?"

Li Shao walked over.

"Shao, tell me, what kind of woman would it take to tame a rake like Luo Peng?"

Jiang Chen turned and asked.

"Hasn’t he come across one recently? He says she’s made his heart race like never before," Li Shao said, looking at Luo Peng.

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen was surprised, "Who?"

Li Shao’s expression turned somewhat strange, "You ask him yourself."

Jiang Chen elbowed Luo Peng, who was looking up at the night sky at a forty-five-degree angle, pretending to be profound, "Any new developments?"

Considering Luo Peng’s colorful past with emotions, such a lengthy period of being single was indeed quite rare.

"Ah, it’s a long story."

Jiang Chen became interested, "Stop beating around the bush, what exactly happened?"

"I’ve never met a woman who’s so captivating. She’s like the moon in the sky, the dandelions on the ground, so pure yet so pitiable."

Jiang Chen glanced at Li Shao.

Li Shao looked helpless.

"Since when did you start writing poetry?" Jiang Chen asked with a laugh.

"How is it? Does it have some merit?"

"Not bad, probably better than Professor Jia."

Jiang Chen gave high praise.

Luo Peng, dissatisfied, said, "Comparing me with her is an insult to me."

"Get to the point. How far have you and that girl gone?"

"What do you mean how far? We’ve met just once."

Jiang Chen was momentarily at a loss for words, then teased, "Love at first sight again?"

"What’s wrong with that?"

Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, "No problem, what does that girl do?"

"Let me tell you, she’s genuinely talented and learned. Singing, dancing, playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she excels in everything."

"That talented?"

Jiang Chen was skeptical.

"Do you think I’m bragging? If you don’t believe me, ask Shao."

Jiang Chen looked to Li Shao.

Li Shao slowly nodded his head, but his expression became even more bizarre.

"Shao, have you seen that girl?"

"Yeah, I met her at a social event."

"What’s the girl’s name?"

Jiang Chen hadn’t yet realized the key point.

"Nan Xu."

Luo Peng murmured, seemingly recalling her voice and smile, his look one of infatuation,

Jiang Chen was no longer surprised; previously, he, too, had been obsessed when pursuing Luo Li’er, smitten with Koda Kaoru, almost exactly like Luo Peng was now.

"Nan Xu? Her last name is Nan?"

Jiang Chen felt there was something odd about the name.

"That’s her stage name."

Luo Peng had the look of someone unaccustomed to the world.

"Stage name?"

Jiang Chen was astonished, then laughed, "That girl isn’t a star, is she?"

"Pretty much," Luo Peng said lazily.

Li Shao couldn’t hold back anymore.

"She’s not a celebrity, she’s a...,"

He hesitated for a long time but still didn’t know how to describe her.

Jiang Chen was becoming increasingly perplexed.

"What’s going on? What exactly does this girl do?"

"Let me put it this way, if you have any social engagements, she can help you lighten the mood, and if you’re feeling down about something, she can help you ease your spirits..."

Looking at Luo Peng, who was explaining with utmost seriousness, Jiang Chen’s expression became increasingly bizarre.

"Don’t tell me she’s a bar girl."

Li Shao kept silent.

"Vulgar!"

Luo Peng quickly retorted, "She’s not a bar girl, she’s an employee at Qin Garden. Everyone in East Sea knows that the girls of Qin Garden sell their talent, not their bodies."

What’s Qin Garden?

Jiang Chen was genuinely confused now.

"You don’t know Qin Garden?"

Luo Peng asked, surprised.

"Should I know it?"

"Jiang Chen, you really are ignorant. Qin Garden is one of the top high-end reception venues in East Sea, and you don’t even know it. The girls there are all talented and as beautiful and well-shaped as celebrities."

Luo Peng said earnestly, "And don’t get the wrong idea; Qin Garden isn’t that kind of pleasure place. They have a fundamental rule, which is that guests are absolutely not allowed to touch the girls of Qin Garden."

"There’s such a place?"

"Indeed, there is."

Jiang Chen had never heard of Qin Garden before; it sounded truly elegant, and the rule of selling talent but not their bodies also sounded very proper. However, such places often involve some unsavory transactions, hidden from sight.

The so-called selling talent but not their bodies, doesn’t it sound just like protesting too much?

Jiang Chen now understood why Li Shao’s expression was so odd.

No matter how extravagantly it was praised, the girl named Nan Xu, no, to be precise, the girl with the stage name Nan Xu, wasn’t she just a "bar girl"?

"Don’t tell me you’re serious."

"Jiang Chen, you know I’ve always been very serious about relationships," Luo Peng stated solemnly.

Jiang Chen was silent, then couldn’t help but laugh a little.

"Are you crazy? Working in such a place, she’s accompanied more men than the number of women you’ve met."

"I asked; she’s been there for less than three months."

Jiang Chen bit back his words.

"Moreover, in just three months, she became the top card of Qin Garden. Not just anyone can hire her company. To have a drink with her costs at least this amount," Luo Peng held up five fingers.

"Five million?"

"Five million? Do you think she’s Pei Yunxi? And even if it were Pei Yunxi, it surely wouldn’t be that expensive just to have a drink? Five hundred thousand," Luo Peng said with a proud air.

Jiang Chen really didn’t know what Luo Peng was so proud of.

But speaking of which, five hundred thousand just for accompanying someone to drinks indeed wasn’t cheap—that price might be what some third or fourth-tier celebrities would charge.

Luo Peng wasn’t completely talking big when he compared the girls of Qin Garden to celebrities.

"You’ve certainly never seen such a scene, a woman dressed in traditional lady’s attire, hair pinned up, sitting in front of a guzheng, playing a tune of ’High Mountain and Flowing Water’ for you. That feeling is simply indescribable."

Jiang Chen indeed hadn’t seen it, but hearing Luo Peng’s description, it seemed the five hundred thousand might actually be worth it.

"Shu Rui, is that girl beautiful?"

He asked Li Shao.

"Not bad," Li Shao nodded quickly.

If someone can get a positive review from Li Shao, there’s no doubt about the girl’s looks.

"Then did you look for her again afterward?"

Luo Peng shook his head and sighed, "To see her once costs five hundred thousand—I’m not a printing press."

Jiang Chen was caught between laughter and tears.

"Didn’t you get her contact information?"

"You only ordered her company once; do you think she’d give it to you?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Makes sense."

"Besides, if she were so easygoing, how could she command such a high price? Qin Garden wouldn’t be so sought after either."

Hit the nail on the head.

Sometimes Master Luo just plays the fool.

It’s just a version of hunger marketing.

"Ding ling ling..."

A ringtone sounded.

"It’s your phone," Luo Peng said to Jiang Chen.

"It’s yours."

Jiang Chen gestured toward his pocket.

Luo Peng took out his phone.

"It’s that manager from Qin Garden who hosted us."

Luo Peng seemed surprised and then answered the call.

"Hello?"

As the voice on the other end spoke, Luo Peng’s face changed from curiosity to shock.

Jiang Chen and Li Shao exchanged glances, both somewhat puzzled.
