Chapter 583: Chapter 583: The Eldest Young Master in Beijing

"Jiangning is really just a small, insignificant place, and this scene is just too shabby. I’m thinking about going back to Beijing now," said a man clad in branded attire, legs crossed arrogantly, sitting inside a luxurious nightclub VIP room.

Surrounded by women on either side, he still looked disdainfully at Mr. Cai.

"And you, instead of staying in Modu, why come to such a god-forsaken place?"

"I... My grandfather asked me to handle some matters, so I came to check things out," replied Mr. Cai, hurriedly flashing a smile.

After all, the man before him was Xu Shiyong from the Xu Family of Beijing.

As one of the Four Young Masters of the capital’s circle, perhaps the Xu Family’s wealth couldn’t match that of the Cai Family.

But the connections and channels they possessed were indeed unique to Beijing.

In front of power, money is as good as nothing.

So Mr. Cai was extremely careful around Xu Shiyong.

But he couldn’t say that he had come chasing a woman.

After all, since being caught that night, he had never seen Jiang Yuting again.

"Do you also have business in Jiangning? Your Cai Family really does own a big door and household, just wondering what kind of business would compel you, the great young master of the Cai Family, to come personally?"

Xu Shiyong looked at Mr. Cai curiously.

Jiangning’s industry isn’t much, and his stature in the family is quite solid.

As the eldest son and grandson, his future was immeasurable.

Why would he come to such a third-tier city to handle business?

"Actually, the business isn’t that big, it’s just that my grandfather has some concerns here, so he had me come to take a look," replied Mr. Cai, lowering his voice urgently.

He didn’t want too many people to know about this.

"Oh, so you came to take care of some outside affair? Old man is not bad either, to have thrown it all the way here and still not forget, he is quite a man of passion," Xu Shiyong remarked with a knowing attitude, smiling ambiguously.

"Ah, it was originally just a small matter, but after arriving I realized I might be a dragon that doesn’t suppress the local snakes. There’s a local tyrant who’s quite arrogant, not only squeezing the business my grandfather favors but also strutting around too proudly, relying on his local connections to do as he pleases. I’ve been thinking these past few days about finding someone to take care of him," sighed Mr. Cai.

Xu Shiyong listened but did not utter a word.

Being a wealthy young man from Beijing, he naturally understood what Mr. Cai implied.

It was clear he was no match for his rival and wanted to borrow his strength for help.

However, accustomed to seeing big scenes, he was not about to do someone else’s bidding just for a dinner and a few girls.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, let me introduce someone to you," said Mr. Cai, having noticed Xu Shiyong’s silence.

He also couldn’t bring himself to speak first.

After all, once rejected, there’d be no more opportunities in the future.

As a wily man, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Soon, the door to the VIP room was pushed open.

Qiao Lulu, heavily made-up and wearing a micro-mini skirt, walked in.

Her slender figure and exquisite beauty stood out among the roomful of gorgeous women.

Plus, her years of experience mingling on the streets taught her exactly how to entice men.

"This must be Mr. Xu. I’ve heard Mr. Cai mention your great name several times. Meeting you today is truly my fortune," she said.

Noticing Mr. Xu’s eyes stealthily glancing at her micro-mini skirt, Qiao Lulu couldn’t help feeling particularly pleased.

He walked up to Xu Shiyong and bowed slightly.

With a wine glass in hand, it seemed as though she was toasting.

But in reality, she allowed him a glimpse of the scenery through her neckline.

"Who is this beauty?"

Xu Shiyong licked his lips.

He grinned at Qiao Lulu.

The merchandise that presented itself was indeed fine.

"I am Qiao Lulu. I used to scrape a living under the Cai Family, but now I guess I’m a vagabond. Mr. Xu, since you’re so kind, I’ll drink this first as a sign of respect, and then how about I sing a song for you?"

Qiao Lulu was neither coy nor pleading.

She simply smiled faintly and drank her wine in one gulp.

She then picked up the microphone and began humming into the large screen.

It must be said, to climb up in a place like Modu, Qiao Lulu had some skills.

Her singing was delicate, a pleasure to the ears.

And with each sway to the music, she was as flawless as a jade sculpture.

Xu Shiyong couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

"Not bad, not bad, come sit, let’s have a good chat," he said.

As the song ended, Xu Shiyong hurriedly beckoned Qiao Lulu to sit beside him.

He stretched his arm around her fragrant shoulders, his face full of frivolous desire.

"Mr. Xu, this time you condescended to visit Jiangning, do you have any investment projects? If there’s a chance, could I perhaps partake in them? I’m quite used to hardships," she said.

Qiao Lulu leaned against Xu Shiyong.

With a glass in hand, she inquired with a beaming smile.

"Such a pretty face should not endure hardships; you can eat something else," Xu Shiyong said greedily.

Xu Shiyong laughed greedily, "I’m not Mr. Cai. My family is affluent, naturally inclined to business. This trip to Jiangning is partly official business and partly personal."

"Mr. Xu is a man of big incidents; I, being just a vagabond, obviously can’t help with official matters. But if you don’t mind, I could assist you with your personal matters, run errands, be your steed—consider it sharing your worries," she said.

Qiao Lulu, laughing, picked up a grape and pushed it into Xu Shiyong’s mouth.

Everyone understood the double entendre of her words.

"It’s a personal matter that I’m afraid you can’t assist with," he said.

Xu Shiyong naturally knew what Qiao Lulu meant.

With a grape in his mouth, he smiled and said, "It’s not that my family wants to form a marriage alliance. The person supposed to marry has come to Jiangning, so in addition to my business trip, I am here to propose. However, before the wedding, a bachelor party is something you might help me with."

"No problem, as long as it’s within my capabilities, I will do my utmost. I am rather curious, though, about the kind of exceptional woman who could capture Mr. Xu’s favor, to travel such distance to propose to her; she must be quite remarkable," she said.

Qiao Lulu certainly understood the implication of a bachelor party.

Thus, she continued the conversation.

"Whether she’s exceptional is not important; the purpose of the alliance is to strengthen ties between two families. Her background is indeed not bad, coming from a military family; it matches well with my family’s status," he spoke nonchalantly as he discussed this matter.

Xu Shiyong showed only more interest in Qiao Lulu at this point.

However, he knew she was also clever, so while the bait was appetizing, the price was surely not insignificant.

Thus, he still had to figure out how he could eat this fish without smelling of it.

"Few in Beijing could match Mr. Xu; I wonder, which family’s daughter has captured Mr. Xu’s heart?" Mr. Cai asked curiously.

Being an equal match to his family background meant that the other party must be from an impressive line.

Unexpectedly, such a character had come to Jiangning.

Xu Shiyong no longer played coy, and said frankly, "You wouldn’t know her even if I told you; her name is Zhao Jiaqi!"
