"So you don't even know such a beautiful girl? That's unfair," Pi Xiaoqian said as Xu Xiaoyu walked away.
"Did you mess with her?"
"How would I dare?" Guo Xuyang replied.
"You managed to win over both sisters, the Xiao Xi sisters. What is there you wouldn't dare?"
"What kind of person do you think I am?"
"A scumbag, a one-in-a-million scumbag," Pi Xiaoqian chuckled.
"Get lost," Guo Xuyang kicked him in the backside. "Where's your wife? Why isn't she here?"
"Didn't she agree to go shopping with Jiang Wuxi? Why did you bring her? And why didn't the others come?"
"She didn't want to come either. I thought she'd be lonely at home, so I brought her along."
"Why didn't you let her stay at your hotel?"
"Lin Ziqi is there, it wouldn't be appropriate."
"More than that? I heard you're getting more adventurous these days."
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm not trying to say anything. I just want to ask what kind of charm you have that makes these women so devoted to you?"
"It's personal charisma, something that can only be understood, not explained."
"The other day, Wang Yu found out I had a young girl on the side. She threatened to kill herself, and I was so scared I immediately sent the girl away."
"Why are you so soft? That's your fault."
"Then teach me what to do."
"Bring the girl home, tell her you're pregnant, and let Wang Yu handle it."
"What if she really jumps off the building?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Do you have that much charm?"
"Really. If I hadn't caught her, she would have jumped. It would have been two lives lost."
"She was just trying to scare you."
"I wouldn't dare anymore. Even if she scared me, I'd accept it. It would mean she still cares about me."
"With your attitude, how can you talk about chasing women on the side? You can only have fun at a nightclub for one night."
"A quick meal isn't bad either," Pi Xiaoqian said dejectedly.
"With women, you need to be willing to spend money but also be ruthless. You can't let women control you. Once you're controlled by a woman, your life is over. In this society, everyone can live without anyone else, it's just a matter of how well they live."
"That's true, but I'm not that heartless."
"Do you know why Xu Dahai only got married so late?"
"He couldn't find a suitable one?"
"Wrong. He simply refused to be controlled by a woman, so he'd rather not get married than be controlled. You spent some time with him, you must have noticed how much he enjoyed playing the field, right?"
"Compared to him, I'm just a beginner," Pi Xiaoqian said.
"Exactly. Why tie yourself down with marriage when playing the field is so much better?"
"But he's married now, isn't he?"
"He wanted a child and was spurred on by me. Besides, they also fell for each other. Xu Lili is a very capable woman, she's excellent at understanding people's psychology. She was the sales champion at my store back then."
"She's that capable?"
"Indeed. She wouldn't be impressed by ordinary people."
"No wonder Xu Dahai is so smitten. Xu Lili insisted on having the wedding ceremony from home. I think having it from a hotel would have been much more convenient."
"Just like Wang Yu holds onto you, Xu Lili is Xu Dahai's Golden Sun Flower Point Hand."
"Once they're married, it won't be as easy to go out and play anymore."
"That's hard to say. Xu Dahai's family isn't too fond of Xu Lili."
"What's the situation?"
"Xu Lili comes from a less privileged background."
"So what do we do?"
"She'll take over the management of the hotel. Her status will gradually rise."
"And what about Lin Ziqi?"
"She's going back to the provincial capital to have her baby."
"You're entrusting such a large enterprise to a woman?"
"If you don't trust someone, don't use them. Don't underestimate women. Xu Lili might not be worse than you."
"How did this turn to me?"
"If you can entrust your business in Kyoto to others, why can't I entrust it to Xu Lili? Besides, Xu Lili is an old employee of ours. She's capable, and she's Xu Dahai's wife. Would he stand by and do nothing?"
"You mean to tie the hotel together with the Xu family's assets?"
"It's a mutually beneficial arrangement."
"Clever. Does Old Xu know?"
"I told him that Xu Lili would come to the hotel to be the general manager. Whether he fully understands the implications, I don't know."
"He's not stupid. He must know what's going on. He's probably thrilled."
"How so?"
"He's got your strong support. He can elevate his wife's status and rely on your powerful backing. He's probably dreaming about it."
"You think too highly of me."
"It's not that I think highly of you; it's that you're genuinely amazing. If nothing else, when it comes to women, I admit defeat."
"Get lost."
While the two were bantering, Wang Yu and Jiang Wuxi were strolling along the sidewalk, their bellies protruding.
"How is Yangzi treating you?" Wang Yu asked.
"Very well. Why do you ask?"
"Did you go to his place?"
"Yes."
"How are your sisters treating you?"
"They're nice. What's wrong?"
"Yesterday, that fatty actually wanted to learn from Guo Xuyang and took a young girl on the side. I lectured, scolded, cried, and scared her away."
"What happened?"
"I've been in Kyoto for a while. He actually took up with a young girl here."
"It's normal for men to have wandering eyes."
"You can't indulge him. If he had one, he'll dare to have a second."
"Mm. I had several at the time."
"So, this must be controlled at the source."
