495: Chapter 495: Dancing is Fine, Missing a Dance Partner 495: Chapter 495: Dancing is Fine, Missing a Dance Partner Night was approaching nine o’clock.

In Zhonghai, at the slightly famous Dream Heaven KTV,

inside the luxury private room where Lin Fei and his friends were.

“Big Brother Lin, just pick whatever song you want to hear.

Today, we’ll sing just for you!”

Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, who had secured Lin Fei’s nod of agreement to put in a good word for them after their internship, thus enabling them to stay and work at Mu Group, each toasted Lin Fei and declared with a bit of boldness,

“There’s really no need for that.”

Grateful for Gu Xiaolei’s and Ye Wenwen’s warm kisses and toasts, and seeking some peace, Lin Fei intended to tactfully decline the women’s offer to dedicate songs to him.

Even though it was Lin Fei who had actively suggested coming to Dream Heaven KTV, it didn’t mean he really enjoyed singing or listening to songs that much.

In fact, Lin Fei was rather indifferent to music.

The reason he brought Meng Xue’er and the others to Dream Heaven KTV was merely to symbolically acknowledge Ning Qi’s benefits and to accompany Meng Xue’er and the others for some fun.

Compared to singing or listening to songs, Lin Fei undoubtedly preferred to enjoy a few drinks.

However, Lin Fei clearly underestimated Gu Xiaolei’s and Ye Wenwen’s gratitude towards him.

At the same time, he also underestimated the girls’ intense enthusiasm to dedicate songs to him, or perhaps their passion for singing out loud.

After Lin Fei spoke, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen immediately dismissed his attempt to politely decline.

“No way, just toasting is no longer enough to express our gratitude to you, Big Brother Lin.

Today, we must sing for you.”

“Xiaolei is right, Big Brother Lin, just pick a song quickly.

If you don’t, we might think you don’t like our singing.”

“Are you sure you want me to pick?!”

“Of course.”

“Definitely.”

Having received a definite response from Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, Lin Fei’s gaze casually glanced over to Ning Qi, who sat on his other side, occasionally casting sidelong glances his way with an apparent air of dissatisfaction.

“If it’s just singing, don’t you find it a bit monotonous?”

“But, we only know how to sing.”

“Yeah, Big Brother Lin, this is KTV, what else could we do if not sing?”

Somewhat puzzled by Lin Fei’s intentions, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen exchanged glances, both their questioning eyes returning to Lin Fei.

“As far as I know, we have someone here who can dance, but I’m not sure if your duet is worth having her come out to accompany you with a dance.”

“Here?

Sister Ning, you can dance?!”

“It must be true, Xue’er can’t dance, neither Xiaolei nor I can.

Sister Ning, I had no idea you could dance.

Please, do show us.”

Although Lin Fei had not explicitly stated that Ning Qi, the unemployed flight attendant, could dance, there were a total of only five people in the luxurious private room.

Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen had been classmates for over three years, and they knew each other too well.

They were well aware that Meng Xue’er wasn’t adept at dance.

Thus, although they had slightly indulged in a few cocktails, it didn’t hinder Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen from deducing by the process of elimination that Ning Qi, the unemployed flight attendant, could dance.

Immediately, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, as if they had stumbled upon a new world, one after the other pounced on Ning Qi, who was whispering with Meng Xue’er, whose candor was clear as crystal.

“Ning Qi, you’ve really been keeping us in the dark.

You know how to dance and didn’t even tell us!

That’s just not cool!

Nope, you must show us a dance today!”

“Xiaolei is right, if you don’t dance for us today, Ning Qi, we’ll stop Lin Fei from helping you look for a job.”

Somewhat tipsy, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen were in no mood to listen to Ning Qi’s defense.

After pouncing in front of Ning Qi, this jobless flight attendant, they took turns speaking, begging and threatening to get Ning Qi to perform a dance.

“Whatever he says, you just believe it?

Have you lost your minds?!”

Originally, Ning Qi had merely been whispering to Meng Xue’er, the girl pure and clear to her core, wanting to understand more about Lin Fei’s work situation at Mu Group.

All of a sudden, she was surrounded by Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen.

Already slightly resentful of Lin Fei for making her spend over two thousand yuan, Ning Qi, this unemployed flight attendant, was not in the mood to be nice to the two women demanding a dance.

Moreover, Ning Qi, frustrated by Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, who should have been on her side, felt like she was dealing with the blind leading the blind as they had been easily duped by Lin Fei’s words.

With a sense of tough love, the jobless flight attendant flicked at them both with her fingers.

“How many of a man’s words can you trust?

Only you two with waterlogged brains would believe anything you’re told.

You’d be sold and still have no clue!”

Initially brimming with excitement, as if they’d discovered something new, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen looked a bit deflated after hearing the sharp words and feeling the flick from Ning Qi, the jobless flight attendant.

Just as the two women were debating whether to press Ning Qi for answers or to turn around and accuse Lin Fei of spouting nonsense,

Meng Xue’er, who had entered the posh private room and remained quiet until now, stuttered meekly,

“But, but, Ning Qi, you can dance.”

Although Meng Xue’er’s voice was timid due to her innate purity, this did not prevent Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen nearby from hearing her loud and clear.

“So it turns out you really can dance, Ning Qi!”

“We were almost fooled by you!”

Knowing Meng Xue’er’s nature, always innocent and unaware of deceit, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen could not help but realize they had been tricked by Ning Qi.

“Wenwen, I remember our company doesn’t hire dishonest employees, right?”

“Yeah, so if Ning Qi wants to work at our company, isn’t that risky?!”

“Xiaolei, how can you say that?

Ning Qi just concealed the fact that she can dance; how does that count as dishonesty?!”

“But, she just hit us, didn’t she?!”

…

“Fine, I’ll dance for you!

But I have one condition!”

Fed up with Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen’s veiled discussions, Ning Qi knew that unless she made some sort of gesture, they wouldn’t let it go.

So she took the initiative to speak.

“What condition?”

Seeing that Ning Qi agreed to dance, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen felt a rush of excitement and hurriedly asked in response.

“The dance I learned is a partner dance; I can’t do it alone.

I need someone to dance with me.”

Saying this, Ning Qi, the jobless flight attendant, cast a somewhat challenging gaze towards Lin Fei, who had been sitting on the sidelines enjoying the show…
