Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 587 - 408: Clever Women (Part 2)

Then President Li made a joke, asking her to serve you as a waitress. President Li, am I right?"

After hearing Huang Qin's answer, Li Jing was surprised.

He had to admit, Huang Qin indeed was a very clever woman; just with one glance at Zhao Ming, she guessed what happened earlier with high accuracy.

Zhao Ming, as Huang Qin described, was indeed a bit overconfident.

With Huang Qin's intelligence and emotional quotient, if she were to be deceived, Zhao Ming probably wouldn't be of much help either.

Immediately, Li Jing couldn't help but admire and praise: "President Huang truly is smart and formidable."

Huang Qin heard that and gently smiled: "In front of President Li, I wouldn't dare to claim formidable. How could I be considered smart and outstanding? President Li is so young and promising, far more exceptional than I am."

Saying this, she reached for a piece of sliced fruit, smoothly changed the topic: "I wonder if President Li liked the song I sang just now?"

Li Jing recalled Huang Qin's performance singing folk songs on stage, nodded in admiration:

"Once President Huang stepped onto the stage, the charm was boundless. The entire bar's attention was drawn to you; I imagine even a real female celebrity being present wouldn't have a better effect."

Receiving Li Jing's approval, Huang Qin's eyes curved into crescent moons, her smile became even more radiant:

"Since President Li likes it, I'm relieved, knowing the effort wasn't wasted."

Li Jing was somewhat surprised, pursued: "Could it be that President Huang knew I liked listening to folk songs beforehand?"

Huang Qin shook her head: "Not really, just that I have various styles prepared, President Li can choose any type, and I can sing one or two songs.

Heard that President Li is leaving Hai Province tomorrow; there was no chance to sing for you during the music festival, so I have to sing a few songs for you tonight."

This statement slightly moved Li Jing's heart, realizing the other party indeed prepared diligently, he quickly expressed thanks: "Thank you, President Huang, for your thoughtfulness."

Huang Qin waved her hand with a smile.

At this moment, laughter echoed nearby, several young girls surrounded a middle-aged man, talking and laughing loudly, the vibrant atmosphere easily felt across the booth.

Seeing Li Jing attracted by the noise, turning to look over, Huang Qin softly explained: "Like other upscale places, besides the drinks service, there are pretty girls arranged to provide escort services for male customers."

Li Jing nodded, such arrangements in nightlife venues were not surprising.

Then Huang Qin continued: "Since Zhao Ming tested you earlier, with her personality, she probably will also arrange girls to come over, right?"

Unexpected that even this was seen through, Li Jing again admired: "President Huang indeed is remarkable, this insight is undeniable. Boss Zhao indeed called four girls over."

"Oh?" Huang Qin raised her eyebrow, the smile at the corner of her eyes had a touch of playfulness, "Then why didn't I see them when I came back? Could it be that President Li doesn't like them?"

Li Jing responded frankly: "It's not about liking or not liking, just no particular interest."

Hearing this, Huang Qin flashed a slightly intriguing gaze: "The girls in Zhao Ming's bar are all carefully selected by her. Plus knowing you're a guest I specially brought, she definitely called the most beautiful ones.

Unexpectedly, President Li is so virtuous, even such beauties couldn't move you."

Li Jing heard the probing in the words and smiled meaningfully:

"I'm not exactly a man of virtue. Truthfully, I am very interested in women.

It's just that no matter how pretty the girls here are, their gestures carry a touch of dust, and compared to President Huang, they fall far short.

If one truly captivates my heart..."

His gaze subtly glanced in the direction Zhao Ming left, "At least she would have to be like Boss Zhao."

This straightforward, almost blatant remark startled Huang Qin.

Originally assuming he might put up a facade, yet he unabashedly displayed his "playboy" nature, even joking about his own friend.

She pretended to wrinkle her eyebrows in feigned annoyance: "President Li says such things unafraid of me getting angry?"

"I'm merely speaking the truth." Li Jing swirled his wine glass, the amber liquid twirled under the light, "Lying to coax you, President Huang would likely feel disdain."

"I'm just like this, being secretive is dull. It's best if we click, but if not..." He shrugged, "no point in forcing it."

Huang Qin gazed at his sharply contoured profile, her eyes showing unpredictable changes.

After a while, she raised her glass and gently clanked it against Li Jing's, a smile of interested curiosity appearing at the corner of her mouth: "President Li indeed is a unique person."

"So does President Huang like someone as unique as me?" Li Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Or maybe, President Huang doesn't mind a man being amorous?"

"What woman wouldn't mind?" Huang Qin lightly shook her head, her gaze shifting to the stage, "But what's the use in minding? Most men in this world are hard to escape the word 'affection'. You're the first who admits it so openly."

She paused, her smile deepened, "After all, compared to lies, truth, though piercing, is more comforting."

Li Jing lifted his head and drained his glass, without further words.

At this moment, the stage lights suddenly brightened, a simply clad woman ascended the stage with a guitar.

Huang Qin looked at the stage and softly began: "This girl isn't an ordinary resident singer, Zhao Ming specially invited her.

She was originally a regular singer at another bar, a local young rich kid bullied her some time ago, happened to be seen by Zhao Ming..."

"Zhao Ming found her truly pitiful, plus her solid singing skills and unique voice, so she kept her at her own bar as a resident performer."

Huang Qin explained calmly, her eyes never leaving the center of the stage, sipping her drink while gently tapping the rhythm.

On stage, the girl in a simple white cotton dress embraced her guitar, as the strings were plucked, a soothing love song began to flow.

Her voice carried a unique husky quality; though her face was youthful, she sang with a sense of sorrow seasoned by time.

At first, it sounded just novel, but as the melody gradually penetrated, that slightly fractured voice wrapped around the heart like a thread, the longer one listened, the richer the taste.

Li Jing couldn't deny, though Zhao Ming was somewhat naive in worldly affairs, her eye for talent was quite keen.

The girl's voice was lazy yet affectionate, blending perfectly with the bar's dim and suggestive lighting, the clinking glasses, elevating the atmosphere just right. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He unknowingly set his glass down, his gaze fixed on the figure on stage, wholly absorbed in this melody filled with stories.

The night deepened, the stage's volunteer singers gradually dwindled.

According to Huang Qin, at this time, all who took the stage were professional resident singers hired by the bar, mainly performing during intervals when guests were departing.

Unlike earlier amateur performances, once the professional singers began, their melodious voices echoed throughout the bar.

Huang Qin watched the stage, gently swirling her glass.

Li Jing's gaze unintentionally scanned her profile, suddenly discovering under the bar's lights, the usually soft and delicate brows were now covered in a layer of hazy drunkenness, even more eye-catching than the stage's spotlights.

"Why is President Li staring at me?" Huang Qin suddenly turned her head, "The singers on stage don't sound nice?"

She deliberately tilted her head, "Or..." her trailing voice lingered, full of teasing, "In President Li's eyes, they're not as attractive as I am?"

Li Jing took a sip from his glass, looking at the smile at the corner of her eyes, suddenly feeling the person in front of him indeed was more captivating than the stage.

"President Huang truly is more worth savoring than any scene here." Li Jing swirled the ice in his glass, his gaze swept over envious eyes cast not far away, "Right now, probably many in the bar are covetous of my place."

"However, I'm curious," Li Jing intentionally lowered his voice, carrying a hint of probing, "With President Huang's prowess, managing such a large enterprise must be arduous. Why not find a man to share the burden?"

He paused hoping to discern some clue from Huang Qin's eyes, "With your capability and image, those aspiring to climb up, likely could queue from this bar to the seashore?"
