Alcohol can sometimes lead to mistakes, but it can also make things happen. It can numb the senses, lower people's guard, bring them closer, and temporarily make them drop their pretenses and reveal a bit of their true selves... Of course, revealing too much is not good. (www.vm)
No matter how upright a gentleman you are, how exemplary a teacher you are, how innocent a young girl you are, how reserved a young woman you are, or even how cold and strong a woman you are, you will all reveal the side of yourself you have been pretending to be when you are drunk.
Many people are willing to go to bars to drown their sorrows, especially at night.
It's simply because they want to see themselves more authentically, and to see others more authentically. Humans are sometimes pitiful; more often than not, they want to understand others, but they don't yet understand themselves…
...
Chen Chu's breathing became rapid. He wasn't a novice, but people are different, and his nature was hard to change. He liked beautiful women, just like many men. He had the courage to put his true feelings into practice, but most men only fantasized in their hearts, at most finding a secluded place to masturbate and imagine how to have sex with the beautiful women at work or school.
Every woman—like a different flower—has her own unique fragrance, her own unique beauty, and her own unique temperament.
Wang Yanan's beauty is a cold and aloof beauty, unlike Liu Bingbing's; she has a more mature and glamorous charm.
Her temperament was more wild and arrogant than Liu Bingbing's, but her figure was fuller than Liu Cui's, and her buttocks were more perky than those of the women in the small shop.
Chen Chu didn't know that these white-collar beauties from big cities, although Wang Yanan now works in Hancheng, used to work in a major southern metropolis, and usually spent her free time traveling and dressing up.
The cosmetics she received were not the kind that cost ten or twenty yuan a bottle for ordinary young girls; they ranged from several hundred to over a thousand yuan. Moreover, the foreign brand cosmetics that her high-ranking boyfriend always brought her were even more expensive.
You get what you pay for. Such expensive cosmetics are not just for show. They moisturize the skin, making Wang Yanan, who is already twenty-seven years old, look like a twenty-two or twenty-three-year-old college graduate.
Standing next to Shao Xiaohua, if Shao Xiaohua hadn't been calling her "Sister Wang" repeatedly, it would have been impossible to tell who was older. Moreover, the sophisticated air of this white-collar woman was even more attractive to Chen Chu.
She was like a proud queen, but she was slightly drunk at the moment. Like a phoenix falling into the plains, Chen Chu wondered if his big bird could ride on this noble phoenix!
Chen Chu pondered this in his heart and went over to help her up. He saw that Wang Yanan had delicate hands and fair skin. Her short hair was permed with an ionic perm, slightly reddish, and with a hint of coffee color.
Her hair color was unlike those hastily permed haircuts in the county town; there wasn't a single messy strand. From her sexy and captivating hairstyle, Chen Chu's lower body was already rock hard.
His whole heart was tied to Wang Yanan. "President Wang, are you alright..." Chen Chu asked with concern.
"It's okay!" Wang Yanan hadn't drunk too much; she vomited a couple of times and recovered, and Chen Chu didn't try to take advantage of her.
He wanted to possess the woman's entire body, not just a casual touch of hands; that was meaningless.
But if you want to possess someone else's body, you have to pretend to be virtuous and respectable, even if you are burning with desire inside, you can't show it.
Adapting to local conditions and individual circumstances is also about treating people differently depending on their background. When dealing with such arrogant women, you can't just pull them along like you would with Wang Xia and Xu Hong. If you do that, they might slap you across the face and accuse you of indecent assault and call the police.
Chen Chu didn't make any rash moves. He was an experienced man now, not some virgin who had never seen a woman before and would blush and have his heart race at the sight of one. He had gradually matured and was even exuding a slight masculine charm.
"Mr. Wang, let me make you a cup of sugar water. It's good for sobering up..." Chen Chu said as he went to get busy. A little while later, the sugar water was ready and handed over.
Wang Yanan glanced at him and saw that Chen Chu was well-behaved and did not have the impetuousness or shifty look that people his age usually have.
Young men in the company, usually around eighteen, nineteen, or twenty years old, can't help but stare at her chest or buttocks when they see a beauty like her, which she finds extremely annoying.
Chen Chu's smile remained unchanged, but he never glanced sideways, appearing like a virtuous gentleman... or rather, a hypocritical virtuous gentleman, like Yue Buqun.
Old Zhang had also told him that the highest level of stealing women was to conquer them with your eyes. Even if you couldn't reach that level, you still had to pretend. Relying on brute force and violence wasn't stealing women; it was low-class and had no skill involved at all.
If you want to sleep with this woman, you first need to make her like you. In other words, don't act too lewd. Leave her with a good impression first. That's the first step.
Wang Yanan drank the sugar water and felt better after a while. She looked at Chen Chu coldly and asked, "You...are you really twenty?"
"Yes! Maybe I'm not growing any faster than expected."
"Okay, you... I think your couplets are pretty good, they show some cultural depth, it's just that your educational background is a bit low, only high school..."
Chen Chu chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "I haven't even graduated from junior high yet, so this high school thing is just a lie!"
At this moment, Shao Xiaohua said, "Sister Wang, our company is short-staffed! Should we...?"
"This… Chen Chu, I think you're quite clever." Wang Yanan's big eyes swept over Chen Chu again. Her eyes weren't long and narrow like Liu Bingbing's, but rather round and large like Lu Xiaoqiao's, with clear black and white, and long eyelashes that blinked.
"Phew… Staying cooped up in the countryside all the time isn't going to work. What I mean is, you can only see the outside world if you leave this poor village. The outside world is vast, but the village is tiny. If you stay here, you'll never amount to anything in your life…"
Chen Chu was stunned. He hadn't thought about what would happen to him in the future. He felt that he was doing quite well, stealing women every day. The village wasn't big, but he was living a very comfortable life. He was also doing well at school, although the teacher had told him to be rough.
He's already slept with two female classmates, isn't life pretty good? His concept of big cities is still very vague.
Shao Xiaohua then said, "Sister Wang, I think you need an assistant. Chen Chu is quite clever, so it would be good to have him as an assistant to run errands. I think it's a good idea!"
Wang Yanan chuckled: "Come on, the company has a rule that you can't get in without a university degree. Sigh... Chen Chu, I just looked at your school too. It's really run-down, and I heard there aren't many students... How much do you make a month?"
"Hehe, they said they'd give me three hundred, but they haven't opened it yet." Chen Chu didn't know what she meant, so he just told the truth.
"Oh, I see. You're from the countryside, so you must be familiar with grains. Hmm... We still have 800,000 jin of mung beans to purchase this time. You're quite familiar with the villages in Hancheng, aren't you..."
Chen Chu only really understood the small area of the county town, but what they were implying was that they wanted him to handle these kinds of business. Chen Chu had seen it too; doing business was quite lucrative—free food, drinks, and entertainment, plus kickbacks…
He had just seen the kickback thing, and it wasn't easy to deal with.
At this moment, Zhang Cai came over, wrapped two red envelopes, handed the thicker one to Wang Yanan, and the thinner one to Shao Xiaohua.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Shao, these are just some New Year pictures, painted by ordinary people in their spare time as souvenirs..."
Wang Yanan laughed: "Village Chief Zhang, what does this mean?"
Zhang Cai was taken aback and quickly explained, "I absolutely didn't mean anything by it. It's just a little souvenir, some paper-cuttings made by the young wives in the village. I feel like the city has everything, but this kind of thing is probably not available, so... I just gave you a little bit. Please don't misunderstand."
Shao Xiaohua laughed: "What misunderstanding? I'm just looking to see what kind of paper cutting it is. I really like paper cutting."
Zhang Cai immediately said, "Mr. Shao, you should go back and check. This paper-cutting will be blown away by the wind. It's windy in the countryside..."
Wang Yanan smiled, put the red envelope into her bag, and Shao Xiaohua put it in as well.
Zhang Cai then drove the group to the county, found a larger karaoke bar, and booked a private room.
Zhang Cai then sang two songs as a formality before pulling Xu Guozhong away. Once outside, Xu Guozhong grumbled, "Village chief, I was having a great time singing, why did you drag me out here?"
"What are you doing? You're so clueless! If you don't come out now, people will get annoyed with you! You're so old, don't you have any sense of propriety at all!"
Xu Guozhong muttered, "Chen Chu is still inside!"
"Chen Chu is eloquent and shrewd, he's got eyes for all the tricks of the trade, and he's much more cunning than you. Besides, he's a young man, how can you, an old fellow, compare? Stop making things worse!"
Zhang Cai drove Xu Guozhong back to the village. On the way, he called Wang Yanan to say that the bill had been settled and that they should have a good time.
...
Chen Chu was there to accompany people singing, so he couldn't let the atmosphere die down. Shao Xiaohua found him quite mysterious, wondering if this was her best friend Wang Xia's little man and if his penis was really that big.
Wang Yanan wasn't interested in Chen Chu. She thought he was just a little kid, a country bumpkin. Since she'd already paid for the singing, she decided to sit there a little longer. Since no one was singing, Chen Chu went to the dance floor and sang a few songs by Andy Lau.
With a deep and resonant tone, Chen Chu's jade thumb ring shimmered on his chest. His singing also became very low, as low notes are not easier to sing than high notes, but Chen Chu unconsciously mastered them very well.
In the song, I felt like I wasn't singing with my throat, but rather exhaling with my breath.
After Chen Chu finished singing several songs, Wang Yanan and Shao Xiaohua were both a little dazed, as if they were immersed in the singing. When the song ended, Chen Chu's phone rang.
Actually, several calls had already been made, but Chen Chu was so engrossed in the song that he hadn't noticed.
"Excuse me, I need to take this call..." Chen Chu smiled at Wang Yanan.
"Okay, go ahead…" Wang Yanan frowned, maintaining her aloof demeanor as she did in the office. Seeing Chen Chu go to the side to make a phone call, she quickly took out the envelope and handed it to Shao Xiaohua, saying, "Go over there and open it to see how much they gave me. Judging by the thickness of the envelope, I feel it should be ten thousand for me and five thousand for you…"
"Huh?" Shao Xiaohua was stunned: "President Wang, you... this..."
Wang Yanan laughed: "Little Shao, you don't understand yet. No wonder you've only been with the company for a month, and now the kickbacks aren't in the contract anymore, but given separately. They naturally know that we're buying at above-market prices. This Village Chief Zhang Cai isn't stupid..."
Shao Xiaohua seemed to understand and nodded. The contract stated that the purchase price of mung beans was four yuan, while the market price was at most three yuan and eighty cents. These two cents were, in essence, a way to give back to the people, but in reality, it also left room for him to make a kickback.
Those who understand will naturally slip in the money; those who don't will find a thousand reasons to refuse when it's time to buy the mung beans in the fall according to the contract, such as saying your mung beans are no good.
Just now was just now, and now is now. Being moved by the people just now doesn't mean I'll always be moved in the future. People are inherently fickle; even an emperor's edict can be changed overnight, let alone in the business world, where things can change in an instant.
Less than a minute after going to the restroom, Shao Xiaohua returned and whispered, "Sister Wang, it's 15,000..." As she spoke, she handed over her own 5,000.
Wang Yanan pushed her hand and said, "Little girl, just keep the five thousand! Work hard with me from now on. There's plenty of money to be made in this business!" Wang Yanan smiled and picked up the microphone to sing.
...
Chen Chu didn't receive the call, so he dialed the missed number. After a few rings, the other party answered.
"Hello, handsome young doctor, what are you busy with?"
"Oh, Sister Xiaoyan, no... nothing much..." Chen Chu knew it was the young lady from last time, the one who gave him two hundred yuan for acupuncture.
"Damn! You weren't busy, but I got fucked to death. Last night some guy came and insisted on paying a thousand yuan for the whole night. I thought, fine, I've been paid before, but he fucking fucked me six times! That money was well spent, he fucking ruined my life... Where are you? Come over here and give me some acupuncture, I'll cover your taxi fare..."
