Go home from university. In her boarding house, Siu Sean couldn't take her eyes off the internet page that displayed information about The Scuttes. It was as noisy as Edward Rich described it. Full of men stealing money. In the middle is Mei Mei who dances lithely on the stage before she is proposed to by her lover.
Mei Mei.
Siu Sean stroked the photo of the dimpled girl on the phone screen. If she could, she wanted to ask her directly.
How could she survive there?
How could she find true love after that?
And there are many other how-tos.
The Scuttes is not far from the Siu Sean campus. She should be able to find Mei Mei directly, meet her, and ask her everything. But this time not. Because on the internet there is confirmation that the former Queen of the Bar has moved to Toronto, Canada. Carried by her future husband. Immediately after being proposed.
If it's like this, then well...
Siu Sean had no choice but to call Celine's number on her cell phone.
"Hello, Celine?"
"Yes? Oh... Siu Sean!" Celine called from the other side. "Finally you called me too... So, how was it?"
"I..." Siu Sean stared blankly at the ceiling. "I doubt it, but it wouldn't be bad if I tried it either."
"Very nice!"
"But, Celine..." said Siu Sean. "Do you think I'm suitable to replace Mei Mei? I mean... She did study ballet. So she understands about dance. If I... How can I? Just sing songs that I like."
Celine chuckled. "Sure! Why not? The requirement to be Queen of the Bar is to be beautiful and I think a lot of people will like you! Nothing more... I've also contacted the Boss of The Scuttles to leak a photo of your face. She likes it!"
Hearing this, Siu Sean's heart stopped beating.
Siu Sean stammered. "Y-Yes? Ah, thank goodness..."
Celine asked once more. "So you want?"
Siu Sean was pounding. "I shouldn't, but... I need to," her voice trailed off at the end. "What about Zhu Fei Long himself? I-I mean the boss who will hire me first. Mn, I didn't expect you to have such a cool friend."
"Cool friend?"
"Well... Edward said a few things about him," said Siu Sean. "He's a businessman, isn't he. He's still young. But... is he good?"
"Oh . . . Edward's right then," Celine said. "Zhu Fei Long is indeed young. I thought you already knew. Isn't your country of origin China too?"
"Yes but..."
"Master Zhu Fei Long is good," Celine said. "...unfortunately bad luck. He adores beauty. But because his family is a business person, a damn marriage with a geeky girl was done a week ago."
"So, what should I do?" asked Siu Sean. "Are you sure he won't overdo me? I mean . . . Usually, guys who are in a bad mood can be unpredictable."
"Oh, take it easy. He's not a barbarian ..." Celine said. "Anyway, you'll see for yourself how he is."
Siu Sean took a deep breath. "Okay..."
Celine asked once more. "So, yes?"
"...Yes."
Celine screamed. "Yash!" to the point that her voice made Siu Sean put the phone away from her ear.
Siu Sean frowned. "You sound so happy..." On the other end, Celine cleared her throat. "Why? Nice to see me playing with a married man?"
"It's not that... It's not that..." Celine said. "It's good to see Mr. Zhu Fei Long who will take your virgin. Hahaha... At least he's handsome, you're beautiful! He's rich, you... Yeah... Need him. You guys can be a perfect couple like in the novels petty!!"
Siu Sean bit her lip. "Whatever, Cel..." she said. I suddenly wanted to cry alone. "May I hang up now? I still have homework to do."
Reason. Sean didn't care if Celine sensed her lie.
"Okay," Celine said. "I'll tell you the details about Feilong tomorrow at college. We'll also go over the ins and outs of The Scuttes before you work on it. At least that way you know what you can and can't do."
"Mn."
"Good. Good job, dear Sean..." Celine said. "Good luck, yo!"
After the call was disconnected, Siu Sean threw herself on the bed. Her cell phone was thrown to the side of the pillow. Her long breath hitched.
"Ah..."
By the way, how does it feel to be a unvirgin?
.
.
.
Zhu Fei Long. Coal entrepreneur. Born in Henan, but settled in California at the age of 7 because he followed the business flow of his father who was widowed since he was born.
The people around Zhu Fei Long were of various strata. From low to high. He is known to be flat-faced when attending to opposing businessmen but can smile the most charmingly when giving a speech on the stage of awards for his success.
Zhu Fei Long. The mature man aged 26. Attractive face, an unpredictable personality, and has a well-known family background among the accomplished businessmen of the New York area.
Yeah... he's crazy about almost every virgin or not, but only pays attention to who he likes.
"Siu Sean has accepted," Celine said. Zhu Fei Long picked up the phone while staring out the glass window of his office in his office. His eyes stared straight at the blue sky that hung outside. "So how about your promise?"
Zhu Fei Long snorted in annoyance, "Anne is at my apartment," he said. "If you like her, just come. The keys are in my desk locker at my house."
"Hoo! All right!" Celine exclaimed happily.
"Good luck getting Sean, Mr. Zhu."
"Hmm..."
The phone line was cut off.
Zhu Fei Long then opened the gallery. There is stored a photo of Siu Sean. Attractive girl. Zhu Fei Long had seen her run after the bus on the edge of the fluttering defiantly.
At that time he was just about to leave for work. His black Audi pulled up behind a red light. Waiting for green, Zhu Fei Long couldn't blink when he saw the girl parting the thin bangs that touched her bandana-encrusted forehead.
Blue butterfly-shaped cloth bandana. It should be the usual style for a girl's size. She also didn't seem like a career-savvy or high-class girl. However, Zhu Fei Long was already unable to see the gaze anymore.
"What's her name..." Zhu Fei Long muttered at that time. He didn't even hear a horn from behind his car. The traffic light had turned green, but he was still standing.
