Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 153: At the Banquet Venue

The brilliant neon lights rendered the coastal metropolis of Yang City vibrant and colorful.

Wang Feng had just parked his car in front of a high-end bathhouse when an enthusiastic security guard came up to help with the door. He casually tossed the car keys to the guard, slipped him a few hundred in tips, and then led Sun Zhe up the light-strip-adorned steps with a grin plastered across his face.

A group of young women in stockings, high heels, and short skirts stood neatly on both sides of the steps. Upon seeing Sun Zhe, they bowed and greeted him almost in unison, like a well-rehearsed performance.

"Good evening, President Sun!"

"We wish you a pleasant time tonight, President Sun!"

Startled, Sun Zhe shot a questioning look at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng chuckled, leaned close to Sun Zhe’s ear, and whispered, "We knew you were coming tonight, President Sun, so we prepared in advance." He added, "How does it feel, climbing these steps? Doesn’t it feel like an emperor ascending the throne?"

Sun Zhe wore an odd expression. "You know, it really does feel a bit like that. No wonder I see so many guys online who love coming to places like this."

Wang Feng laughed. "Once you change into your robe, you’ll be the Emperor of the Baths!"

Sun Zhe was left speechless.

Shortly thereafter, a young woman in black stockings and high heels led the two into a luxurious private room. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"President Sun, would you like something to drink? Coffee or lemon tea?"

"Just plain water, please."

"Alright, President Sun, please wait a moment. The technician assigned to you will be here shortly."

Lying on the massage couch, Sun Zhe reflected on everything he had seen on the way here. He had to silently admit that the quality of the technicians was truly top-tier; each one was young, beautiful, and had a stunning figure. There were even a number of foreign women.

You could say this place is a paradise for men!

"By the way, Wang Feng, is this place legit?"

"President Sun, from now on, just call me Fengzi." Wang Feng patted his chest and said with utter conviction, "Rest assured, President Sun, our establishment is absolutely legitimate, without even a hint of crossing the line!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhe’s face fell.

If it’s legit, what the hell is the point?!

Wang Feng smiled wryly and hastily explained, "President Sun, this is one of our own businesses! President Leng gave strict orders that we absolutely cannot engage in any shady activities."

"This really is just a proper bathhouse and wellness center!"

"Of course, if you’re interested in something not so legitimate... I can take you to a different kind of place later. But you must not tell President Leng about it. If she finds out I took you to a place like that, she’ll skin me alive!"

Sun Zhe just waved his hand with a smile. "Forget it. There’s no need."

"But Fengzi, I have to say, the quality of the technicians here really is top-notch."

"Of course!" Wang Feng beamed with pride. "They’re all little fairies."

He seemed to grow sentimental as he continued, "When I was a kid, I thought fairies didn’t live in the mortal world. It wasn’t until I grew up that I realized they were all in the private rooms."

Sun Zhe couldn’t help but laugh. "True enough!"

"President Sun, don’t underestimate this branch of our Lieyang Group. It’s very lucrative!" Wang Feng said, warming up to his topic. "As the saying goes, ’Love springs forth with the timer’s chime, but when time is up, the longing is hard to leave behind.’"

"A girl says, ’Spring isn’t over yet,’ so a man takes out a loan that very night. He flew into a rage for a beautiful face, and he’s still paying off that loan to this day."

Sun Zhe shot him a sideways glance and couldn’t help but quip, "Are you reciting jingles for me? You might as well go take the graduate school entrance exam."

"Hehe, don’t be mad, President Sun. What I’m really trying to say is... these technicians are our cash cows!" Wang Feng explained. "Those men, whether they’re rich or poor, single or not, they all get completely mesmerized by the technicians once they come here. They get to the point where they’d sell their houses just to lavish money on them."

"This place has only been open for two months. Do you know how much its net profit is?"

Sun Zhe asked curiously, "How much?"

With a serious expression, Wang Feng stated, "In two months, the net profit from this single venue was nine million, seven hundred and thirty thousand!"

Sun Zhe fell silent.

Wang Feng continued, "The reason I brought you here today isn’t really for you to experience the technicians and the service. It’s mainly so you can familiarize yourself with the venue. After all, all of this will be under your management from now on."

"President Leng is busy with major affairs every day and rarely gets involved in the business side of things. Now that you’re her special assistant, all of this naturally falls under your supervision."

Sun Zhe listened quietly, not saying a word. He was finding it harder and harder to understand what Leng Yueshuang was really up to.

We only just met—slept together once at most—and she’s already trusting me to run the entire group.

Leng Yueshuang, what do I really mean to you...? Could it be that you know the authorities are onto you and you’re planning to skip town, so you’re just dumping this all on me? Then you’ll take the money, find a new place, assume a new identity, and continue to live above the law with your shady business, while I’m stuck here doing hard time for you?

As he was lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang.

Sun Zhe took it out and saw the call was from Ye Qiao.

"What’s up, Qiaoqiao?"

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Uh, I’m... talking business with a friend. Is something wrong?"

Ye Qiao suddenly lowered her voice. "Brother, I know where Mom is now. That bitch Yan and I have left and are about to sneak into the banquet to drag that man out. Do you want to come?"

Without a second thought, Sun Zhe said, "Send me the address. I’m coming right away."

"Then come quickly! You have to turn in your phone to enter the banquet hall, so we won’t be able to contact you. Find a way to sneak in, and we’ll meet inside."

Sun Zhe hung up and looked at Wang Feng. "Fengzi, you need to take me somewhere."

"But President Sun... after the foot wash, I was still going to take you to the other..."

"Next time. I have something important to do."

"Okay, whatever you say. I’m your man now, after all!"

Shortly thereafter, Wang Feng followed the address and drove Sun Zhe to a place called Shengshi Court. This was where Zhu Yan was attending the banquet tonight.

Wang Feng parked the car, looked at the rows of luxury cars nearby, and marveled, "Wow, Shengshi Court is pretty lively tonight!"

Sun Zhe asked, "You know this place?"

"Of course. This is where the rich of Yang City hold their parties," Wang Feng replied. "I guess it’s some big boss’s birthday celebration or something. President Sun, look at these luxury cars. Even a Cullinan is considered bottom-tier here."

Sun Zhe opened the car door, got out, and walked straight toward the entrance.

Wang Feng quickly chased after him. "President Sun, you want to go in?"

Sun Zhe stopped and took out his phone to call Ye Qiao, but her phone was already off. He then remembered what she’d said about having to turn in their phones to enter the banquet.

"Fengzi, it’s not that easy to get into a place like this, right?"

"Of course not. You need an invitation. But don’t worry, President Sun, I have connections. President Leng has rented this place for a few banquets before, after all."
