Mei was shocked by Yu Fei's arrangements and looked at me subconsciously while I was somewhat at a loss.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yu Fei said she had other matters to attend to and left first, leaving me to hand over work with Mei.

Mei lit a cigarette on the sofa and casually offered me one. I declined because I don't smoke at all.

Her look of shock deepened, "You don't smoke?"

I nodded, and Mei laughed, "Working here, smoking and drinking are essential skills, can you drink?"

I was stunned; wasn't this a teahouse? Shouldn't just drinking tea be the end of it? What does that have to do with smoking and drinking?

But Mei seemed not inclined to answer my question; instead, she became unsettled, "You can't even smoke or drink, what were you doing in college?"

I felt somewhat embarrassed, "During college, I was just busy earning money for tuition; my family was poor and couldn't afford to support me."

Mei rubbed her eyebrows, "Starting now, you have to learn to smoke and drink. These are all essentials for social networking. Although we're a teahouse that sells tea, we don't rely on that to make money." Saying this, she pushed the cigarette into my hand again, "If you can't smoke, drink, or womanize, how will you make money?"

This time I didn't refuse but imitated Mei in taking a drag, only to find myself choking and coughing repeatedly.

Mei burst into laughter at my comical appearance. Through my exchanges with her, I found out she used to hold the most shares in the Mingqing Teahouse, with the remaining shares in Yu Fei's hands.

Mei said she wanted to start a teahouse years ago but didn't have enough money, so Yu Fei contributed. Even now, with Yu Fei not involved in any of the teahouse's affairs, Mei still transfers her share of the dividends and profits to Yu Fei's account every year.

After the small talk, Mei started to familiarize me with the situation at the teahouse.

The Mingqing Teahouse isn't just a tea room; strictly speaking, it's more of a place for business negotiations.

The first floor is for ordinary customers to drink tea, occasionally selling some tea leaves. The second floor is a social gathering place for various bosses, with a private room for one hour costing at least several hundred to a thousand yuan.

And this third floor is a special place. Here, as long as the customer is willing, almost everything must be fulfilled, including, but not limited to, accompanying the customer.

Therefore, in the teahouse, there are many young and beautiful female tea artists and male tea artists, who must not only know about tea but also know how to drink.

"Working here, you need to have high emotional intelligence to coax customers into happily paying their bills. Otherwise, why would they casually spend thousands or tens of thousands on our tea leaves?" Mei looked at me and glanced at my pants.

"Not bad, looks like you have some assets."

I smiled, "Don't worry, Mei. Although I'm not so good with smoking and drinking, my emotional intelligence is definitely enough. After all, I met all kinds of people during my college years working part-time."

Mei reluctantly relaxed and turned to continue introducing me to the teahouse.

In the end, we agreed that I would first learn how to make tea with the tea artists, and once I was proficient enough to serve customers on my own, I would be transferred to another position.

By the time the work arrangements were settled, it was already afternoon, and I took a taxi home. Tired, I pushed open the door, only to hear some embarrassing sounds coming from Yu Fei's bedroom.

I was stunned, and looking down, I saw a pair of another man's shoes at the entrance.

At that moment, Yu Fei seemed to hear something and opened the door of her bedroom, poking her head out.

Her hair was wet from sweat, sticking to her face, while her cheeks bore an abnormal flush.

Yu Fei was somewhat displeased and said to me, "You finished the arrangements so soon? Go out and have something to eat first, and don't come back until after ten."

It's all for money, nothing to be ashamed of.

I nodded, put on my shoes, and was about to leave when I heard a soft moan from Yu Fei behind me.

It seems that the man inside, in pursuit of excitement, wouldn't even let go of the brief time Yu Fei and I were speaking!

I wandered aimlessly on the streets as my stomach conveniently growled. I sighed and turned into a ramen shop.

I ordered a bowl of tonkotsu ramen and sat waiting for it to arrive.

Because Yu Fei had asked me to return only after ten, I actually played two hours of Genshin Impact after eating before heading back.

In the following days, I left home every day at two in the afternoon to work at the Mingqing Teahouse, returning around midnight.

It made me feel as if I were working in a bath center.

I thought this routine would continue indefinitely until one day, coming home from work, I found Yu Fei sitting in the living room in a silk robe.

Her two white legs were resting on the coffee table, revealing a generous view.

Yu Fei seemed to be waiting for me on purpose, and when I arrived, she beckoned to me. I went over and sat opposite her.

Yu Fei withdrew her legs and cut to the chase, "You remember what we agreed upon last time about your first time, right?"

I was startled. Had she finally noticed my damned and unplaceable charm and was ready to fall for it today?

Yu Fei seemed to read my thoughts, she rolled her eyes, "It's not me, it's someone else."

I was a bit perplexed, "Someone else? What do you mean?"

Yu Fei sighed, her expression serious, "You don't need to know who it is. You just need to make her happy."

Seeing Yu Fei's expression, it seemed this person was very important. I tried to probe, "But I don't know how to please a woman?"

Yu Fei waved her hand dismissively, "That's not an issue. Mei will teach you, you just need to make her happy."

Since this mattered so much to Yu Fei, it meant there was room for negotiation.

I feigned indecision and didn't respond for a long time. Seeing my hesitation, Yu Fei became anxious, "You can state your conditions. We can negotiate."

My inner smirk grew, looks like I had the upper hand. My gaze then fell on Yu Fei, and after thinking for a moment, I spoke, "I want a girlfriend. Just like you."

Yu Fei was a bit confused, "Just like me? What does that mean..." She followed my gaze to her own ample bust and instantly understood.
