Chapter 152: Chapter 152: The Sinister Human Heart

"Huh?"

"You’re not trying to scam us, are you, Boss? Or do you have some kind of special fetish?"

At Jiang Fan’s words, all the women looked skeptical. After all, society was full of scammers these days, with endless schemes promising high returns for low investment.

Some people were scammed out of everything, down to their last pair of underwear.

"Here, take a look. This is our company."

Without another word, Jiang Fan pulled up his company’s work chat and Xuerong Group’s various credentials.

The girls took Jiang Fan’s phone and passed it around, each one taking a look.

"Oh, so you’re from Xuerong Group."

"I’ve heard of this company. They’re very influential, and their products are all high-end."

"I bought two sets before. They really are pretty good."

"But as a senior executive at Xuerong Group, what are you doing here looking for us?"

And so, the next logical question arose.

"Our company needs to hold an event soon. The event requires a group of young, beautiful girls with great figures to wear our new products and attend."

"It’s really that simple, and the job won’t take long either."

"The only real requirement is that you have to be articulate and quick-witted."

"And all of you have top-notch looks and figures. Since you work here, I’m sure your eloquence won’t disappoint either."

When Jiang Fan finished his explanation, Sun Yanzi understood most of it.

’So that’s what this guy was planning.’

’Even though these girls work in nightlife, their figures and looks are excellent. Most importantly, every one of them is perceptive and can read a room. Otherwise, they’d never survive in a place like this.’

’They’re perfect for the event he’s planning.’

’And the most important thing is, they’re cheap.’

’A thousand yuan a day, three thousand per person for the whole event. What does that even add up to?’

’It’s not even a fraction of what it would cost to hire a celebrity or a famous model.’

’Xuerong Group once held an event where they hired a popular celebrity. Her asking price was seven million yuan.’

’Although the event was a huge success and made a name for them, most of the money they earned went straight into that celebrity’s pocket.’

"Alright, I’ll give you ten minutes to think about it. If any of you feel uncomfortable about wearing lingerie, then forget it. You’re free to go."

"If you’re willing, stay. Discuss it among yourselves. I’ll be back in ten minutes."

With that, Jiang Fan pulled Sun Yanzi out of the private room.

"I’ve really got to say, I have no idea how your brain works sometimes."

Sun Yanzi looked Jiang Fan up and down, her face full of admiration.

"I had no choice. I was backed into a corner, so I had to take a risk."

"After all, they even hired international models. What was I supposed to do?"

"I couldn’t just hire one too, could I? The effect of our event would definitely be worse than theirs."

"But they’re going for high-end, so we’ll go for eye-catching."

"With their figures, the moment they show up in a mall wearing our lingerie, it’ll cause a massive sensation."

"You have to understand something. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman, people like beautiful things."

"Especially big... well-proportioned ones."

Jiang Fan gestured with his hands in front of his chest.

"Get away, you pervert!"

Sun Yanzi scolded him, her pretty face flushing slightly.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. When Jiang Fan pushed the door open and walked in, not a single girl had left.

"Looks like you’ve all made your decision?"

As he spoke, Jiang Fan smiled and pulled out a wad of cash he had prepared earlier from his back pocket.

Jiang Fan went to each girl and handed her two red bills from the cash in his hand.

"This isn’t a deposit or anything, don’t get the wrong idea. It’s just a little something for you to buy snacks and milk tea."

"Don’t worry. As long as you work with me, I’ll definitely treat you well."

"Besides, our company is huge. It’s a large, well-established enterprise, as you all can see."

After settling the matter, Jiang Fan exchanged contact information with them, then left with Sun Yanzi.

Before he left, he also slipped the lobby manager a thick red envelope.

In the car, Sun Yanzi kept staring at him.

"Is there something on my face? Why do you keep staring at me like that?"

Her gaze was giving him the creeps.

"There’s nothing on your face, but I’ve discovered that you’re very thorough when you handle things now."

"You even thought to give the lobby manager a red envelope."

Hearing Sun Yanzi’s words, Jiang Fan let out a soft chuckle.

"Do you know what I used to fear most when I was a delivery driver?"

Jiang Fan asked in return.

"What?"

"The thing we feared most wasn’t the customers, but the security guards at all the different residential complexes."

"The four-word saying ’Little devils, big trouble’ described them perfectly."

"I don’t know what’s wrong with them. They always like to use what little power they have to make things as difficult as possible for others."

"This lobby manager is the same. But since he took the red envelope, he’ll know to play ball."

"If he doesn’t play ball..."

Jiang Fan took out his phone and played a recording.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it for you."

"You recorded it on your phone?"

This time, Sun Yanzi was genuinely surprised.

"Yes. I just don’t want any accidents. I’m nipping any potential trouble in the bud."

"Only those who have struggled their way up from the bottom know just how treacherous human nature can be."

Jiang Fan sighed, thinking back to those earlier times.

...

It was already very late when the two of them got home. The next day, Jiang Fan was buried in work from the moment he arrived at the office. He was so busy all day he didn’t even stop for a bite to eat.

Finally, at the end of the workday, Yin Ruxue asked him to go pick up Mengmeng.

First, he called Sun Yanzi to tell her he had something to do and wouldn’t be coming home tonight.

Then he hurried to the school, where he saw Mengmeng with a pitiful little pout on her face, looking like she was about to burst into tears.

The moment she saw Jiang Fan, she couldn’t hold back her grievances any longer. She threw herself into his arms and started sobbing.

"What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?"

"You tell Daddy, and Daddy will go teach them a lesson!"

Jiang Fan gently patted her on the back to help calm her down.

After a long while, Mengmeng finally answered between sobs, "No, nobody bullied me."

"Daddy, don’t be angry."

"If nobody bullied you, why are you crying so much? You’ve cried your little face into a mess."
