Chapter 951 Rejection!
Several bottles of wine had been drunk, and the conversation had opened up. For the most part, though, Lawyer An was the one talking while the slightly awkward middle-aged man across from him listened.
After another toast and drink, Lawyer An put his hand on the middle-aged man's shoulder and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet? Alright, I'll go first. I'm Geng, Geng Chen."
"I..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "My surname is Li."
"Good, Little Li. Come, let's have another one!"
"..." The middle-aged man.
Lawyer An was good at reading people. The other man's clothes looked clean, but the combination was awful and the clothes themselves weren't expensive. Plus, sitting at this barbecue stall, if An hadn't joined him, he would have just been eating a few skewers and drinking a bottle of beer. Considering he said that his hometown often had power outages, his financial situation probably wasn't ideal.
But for some reason, Lawyer An took a liking to this guy. It was as if the man had some kind of aura that attracted him. Of course, it wasn't the same kind of attraction as with Gai Gai. For the people at the Late Night Bookstore, if they wanted to "盖," why not just go to Old Xu? What was the point of finding someone outside?
It was a strange attraction, a strange sense of goodwill, a strange desire to be brothers with him!
"What do you do back home?" Lawyer An asked, picking up a stick of grilled meat with a toothpick.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "I manage a group of..."
"Livestock farming, right?"
"Huh?"
"Raising chickens or ducks?"
"Something like that..."
"That's great, a mixed farm! You're a tycoon! Come on, another drink!"
"What about you?"
"Me? I opened a law firm after quitting my government job, and then I partnered with a friend to start a business."
"Must be tough, right?"
"Yeah, it's tough. Running all over the place. I've been traveling for work lately, exhausted. But when the boss says something, you still have to go out and run, right? These days, bosses are all vampires. How do they make money? By squeezing the blood and sweat out of us employees!"
"Yeah."
"Little Li,"
"..." The middle-aged man.
"Are you married?"
"Not yet."
"How old are you?"
The middle-aged man started thinking again. It seemed like he hadn't answered that question in a long time.
So, he's a simple-minded young master from a rich family.
Lawyer An patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder and said, "Don't rush it. Love comes when it's meant to."
"Yeah..."
"When are you going home?"
"Not for a while."
Lawyer An shook his head regretfully and said, "Too bad, I have things to do tomorrow, otherwise I could have hung out with you for a few more days. I don't know why, Little Li, but the first time I saw you, I thought you were really damn likeable!"
"..." The middle-aged man.
Lawyer An looked at the time and said, "Boss, check please."
Lawyer An paid for both of their meals. Then, he put his arm around the middle-aged man's shoulder, and the two of them stood close, like brothers. The middle-aged man frowned slightly. Clearly, he wasn't just unfamiliar with this kind of same-sex intimacy, but he had also become estranged from close physical contact over a long period.
"I can't sleep anyway, so how about I take you out to have some fun?"
"Fun?"
"Yeah, fun. You haven't tried it?"
"Brothels?"
"Are people from your hometown so refined?"
"I..."
"Don't want to say it? Alright, let's find a lively place first, and you can ask for what you want there."
With that, Lawyer An hailed a taxi. Lawyer An got in first, opened the back door, and waved to the other man. "Come on, damn it, I'm paying, what are you afraid of?"
It was their first meeting, their first meal. Since he inexplicably liked the other man, he should make friends with him. They couldn't fight alongside each other yet, but singing together was no problem.
The middle-aged man stood there without moving.
"Are you coming or not?" The taxi driver urged impatiently.
"Coming, just a moment." Lawyer An got out of the car and took the two boxes of batteries that the other man had been carrying with him. He quickly carried them into the taxi.
Now the middle-aged man had no choice but to get in as well.
"Where to?" the taxi driver asked.
"Wanlihui KTV."
"Alright, hehe!" The taxi driver made a knowing laugh and started the car.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a lavishly decorated KTV. As soon as they got out, two young men in uniforms came over and greeted them warmly. "Sir, do you have a reservation?"
Lawyer An handed the two boxes of batteries he was carrying to one of the young men. The young man smiled and reached out to take them. Damn, they were heavy!
"No reservation."
"Sorry, without a reservation, we can't..."
"How much for a gold card on the first deposit?"
The eyes of the two young men lit up, and they instantly became even more enthusiastic than before.
Lawyer An was familiar with these places, like returning to his own home. You see, Lawyer An was a wealthy young master in Guangzhou during the Republican era. Although his family fortunes declined later, he was well-versed in all kinds of vices. Sometimes, Lawyer An felt that he was a very nostalgic person. After all, it wasn't easy for anyone to maintain a hobby for so long, and it required great perseverance.
The middle-aged man looked confused the whole time. Lawyer An pulled him inside and into a private room, where they called in a few girls to sing with them.
"Come on, pick two each." Lawyer An nudged the middle-aged man's arm.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly. The private room was playing vulgar music. He didn't even know what song it was. Coupled with the chattering and noise, he instinctively found it difficult to adapt.
"I... I'd rather not..."
"You two, come sit over here."
"..." The middle-aged man.
Lawyer An also chose two girls. Then, they started singing. Lawyer An asked one of the girls next to him, "Do you guys have 'vacuum' here?"
"No, sorry..."
"Alright, never mind. Come on, let's drink and play dice."
Lawyer An occasionally sang a few songs, but one of the girls sang pretty well, so he had her sing all the time to avoid awkward silences.
After playing for a while, seeing that this old brother wasn't relaxing and seemed very uncomfortable, Lawyer An gestured to the girl next to him, took out two thousand yuan from his wallet, and pointed to the awkward old brother sitting there who didn't even know how to drink or play dice. Then, he pointed to the bathroom.
He said, "Two thousand more after it's done."
"Thank you, Brother." The girl immediately took the middle-aged man's arm and stood up.
The middle-aged man was a little confused and was pulled into the bathroom.
A smile appeared on Lawyer An's face.
"Brother, drink." Lawyer An toasted the girl and drank the wine.
"Brother, why did you buy so many batteries?" The two boxes of batteries of various sizes had also been brought into the private room, and they were very conspicuous there.
"Ah, they're for playing with toys, various types, toys of different sizes and power. My friend is a collector, he plays a lot and often goes to Japan to buy them. Are you interested in trying them?"
"Brother, you're so bad."
...
In the bathroom, there was a large sink. The girl quickly took out a condom and said, "Brother, you have to wear one."
She turned around and prepared to take off her pants.
At this moment, someone was about to make history. It was the mortal girl in front of him. If we use a scene from the end of "Titanic" to describe it, when she was old and telling stories to her granddaughter, she could say, "Your grandma was one step away from taking off the Yama King's pants back then."
At the same time, someone else had already made history. It was unprecedented, and probably would never be repeated.
He actually brought the Yama King to a brothel!
Actually, it wasn't Lawyer An's fault. He had money, and he liked the simple-minded guy for some reason, so he took him out to have some fun. It wasn't a big deal. It wasn't Lawyer An's fault for not being vigilant enough. After all, no matter how imaginative someone was, they wouldn't believe that they could meet a big shot while eating barbecue, and that this big shot would be carrying two big boxes of batteries of various sizes!
"Little Li" shook his head slightly. The girl felt a dizzy spell and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Lawyer An and the other girls in the private room also fell asleep. Under the control of an existence of that level, Lawyer An, who was skilled in mental power, had no chance to struggle.
"Little Li" brought his face close to the mirror in the bathroom and carefully looked at himself. As he looked, a smile appeared on his lips. Perhaps even he found it a little funny.
In the huge private room, everyone was asleep. After the songs they had chosen were finished, the initial music started playing automatically, which was a public service song designated by the Ministry of Public Security for KTV venues:
"La la la la...
Reject pornography, reject drugs, reject gambling;
La la la la...
Reject pornography, reject drugs, reject gambling..."

I didn't update yesterday. I actually set an alarm to wake up after a few hours of sleep to write, but the alarm didn't wake up long, and I vaguely slept until three in the morning. As a result, I couldn't even write a leave note. I apologize to everyone who was waiting for the update yesterday.
