Night Paris had always been a unique presence in Ning City.
No one knew who the owner was, nor did it have any obvious backing. At first glance, it seemed no different from other nightclubs, yet it occupied the most chaotic area of Ning City, attracting all sorts of patrons.
Logically, such a place should have been hard to manage, with the slightest carelessness leading to trouble. However, in reality, brawls were rare there.
Shen Wan had been employed at Night Paris for four years, frequently having drinks poured for her, yet no one dared to exploit her. This was partly because of her own carefulness, and partly because Night Paris was known as a place where troublemakers were not tolerated.
The only exception was when she was selling beer to a man from out of town. It was his first visit, unaware of the rules, he sneakily drugged her drink. Sensing something was off, Shen Wan reacted by smashing a bottle on his head and, in a panic, escaped through the back door to the residential area of Qingtong Street, where she encountered Zhou Chi in his wheelchair.
Later, the bodyguards of Night Paris took several days to find her. They didn’t harm her but instead dealt with the outsider, for he had broken the unspoken rules of the place – an unforgivable offense!
That was when Shen Wan truly realized the “unusual” nature of this nightclub!
Speaking of which, when Akai mentioned the high-level manager, Shen Wan naturally didn’t regard this “manager” as an ordinary one.
With the boss rarely showing up, the day-to-day affairs of the place were almost entirely managed by several managers. In other words, in this place, the managers held significant decision-making power.
“Is that so?” Shen Wan responded skeptically after hearing this, “If what you say is true, and this top girl was a favorite of some high-level executive, then she shouldn’t have been entertaining clients anymore. In fact, someone else should have taken her place as the top girl. Unless, of course, your managers enjoy being treated poorly, but that’s a different story.”
Akai scratched his head. “I wasn’t sure about the specifics, this was just what I had heard, but there’s one thing I didn’t lie about.”
“What’s that?”
“All Tan won’t entertain just any client. She had bodyguards assigned by the higher-ups, and if she was unwilling, no one dared to force her.”
Shen Wan smiled, her fingertips brushing over the surface of the banknotes: “I see…”
Money as bait, though cliche, was undeniably effective. She had enough patience to wait for the fish to bite.
“Continue with the rest.”
The three women, previously anxious, instantly became overjoyed.
Shen Wan quickly handled the situation with the first two, leaving her with little money. The final girl inhaled deeply, stepped forward, and introduced herself, “My name is Liu Liu…”
It was the “Little Tiger Teeth,” the same person who had inquired about age earlier. Shen Wan vaguely remembered her. While she was introducing herself, Shen Wan’s attention shifted towards the dance floor, coming to the realization that she might not be successful in her endeavors tonight.
“Alright, it’ll be you then.” Shen Wan pointed casually, her interest waning.
Liu Liu was delightfully taken aback, as she was ready to leave, but was unexpectedly met with a sudden stroke of good fortune.
“You… choose me?”
“Yes, cutie.” Shen Wan patted her cheek, “Follow me.” With that, she strode away.
Liu Liu hurried after her, her steps light and bouncy.
Meanwhile, at the corner near the bar, right beside the dance floor, the changing lights momentarily illuminated the two women.
Red and green flickered, interchanging with blue and yellow, accompanied by the heavy bass of a fast-paced dance track. More and more patrons began to join in, swaying their bodies to the rhythm.
“What a pity, in the end, it’s that brat Liu Liu who gets the windfall,” a woman in a leather skirt scoffed with her arms crossed, shaking her head in mock lament, “I’m not lacking of money, unlike some people who’re desperate for it. Hmm… I’m tired, time for a nap.”
The woman, swaying her hips, turned and walked away.
The other woman, beautiful with a slightly aloof air, remained standing there, motionless for a long time.
Then, slowly, she clenched her fists….
