Chapter 640: A Call for Help
Chen Fan waited in the upstairs private room for a while, and the others gradually arrived.
Except for Guo Shuai, Ma Xiaoshuai and Wu Di were also sporting big dark circles under their eyes.
Chen Fan was a bit confused.
"Why didn't you all rest well?"
As soon as he said this, Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but curse.
"Damn! You guys got me too drunk last night. You were fine and could sleep right away, but I still had to open my milk tea shop today."
Wu Di smiled bitterly and said, "I had it worse. This morning, Brother Jie called me late, so I was an hour late for work. Not only that, but I also got scolded by that fat female leader for half an hour."
"F**k. One day I'll get my revenge."
Luo Wenjie laughed and suggested, "Does your leader have a daughter? You could date her daughter."
"Good idea."
Wu Di's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head.
"Forget it. I heard her daughter is already studying abroad. Besides, with our leader looking like a T-Rex, I'm really worried I won't be able to stomach her daughter at night."
"What's there to stomach? Turn off the lights at night, and they're all the same."
"That's why Brother Jie is the man. He's never picky about his food."
"I think you guys are really hungry."
After the group joked around for a while, there was a sound of firecrackers downstairs, signaling the official opening.
Since it was a bathhouse, Luo Wenjie didn't plan to make the opening too high-profile.
So there weren't too many guests coming tonight.
But this kind of business is meant to be a steady, long-term one.
Chen Fan had seen the decoration here last night and thought it was quite clever. Combined with Brother Jie's business acumen, Chen Fan felt that even without offering those messy services, making money wouldn't be a problem.
They had drunk too much last night, so tonight the group didn't drink alcohol, but instead drank tea and chatted casually.
Guo Shuai sat next to Chen Fan, seeming hesitant to speak.
"What's up?" Chen Fan found it amusing. "Something on your mind?"
Guo Shuai scratched his head awkwardly.
"Well... there is something."
"Just spit it out!" Chen Fan was a bit exasperated.
"We're brothers, you don't need to be shy."
Guo Shuai grinned, "Actually, it's not about me, it's about Miaomiao."
"Miaomiao?"
"Miaomiao heard from a friend that an entertainment company called Feifan Media is recruiting singers recently. Ahem, she heard that company might be yours."
Guo Shuai looked a bit embarrassed.
"She wants to apply, but she's afraid she won't be selected, so she wanted me to talk to you..."
"Is that all?"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I thought it was something big. You could have just told me directly."
Guo Shuai chuckled, "I was just worried that if she got in through connections and didn't perform well, it might affect your company's reputation."
Chen Fan patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry. It's not a big deal. I'll make a call tomorrow, and Miaomiao can go directly to the company to report."
"Really?" Guo Shuai felt a bit embarrassed. "Brother Fan, please don't just open the back door for her because she's my girlfriend."
Chen Fan smiled, "I might not do it for others, but for Miaomiao, it's fine."
"It has nothing to do with her being your girlfriend. It's purely because I've seen Miaomiao's singing skills before, and her ability is completely sufficient to be a lead singer in a band."
Hearing this, Guo Shuai immediately cupped his fist in gratitude.
"Nothing more to say, thanks, Brother Fan."
"You don't know, this girl actually wanted me to talk to you about it last night, but you were too drunk..."
Chen Fan smiled, "That's my fault. I should have thought of it earlier, I forgot about Miaomiao."
"Hehe..." Guo Shuai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now I can finally sleep in bed tonight."
This comment made everyone laugh.
Since he didn't get to enjoy the services of the top masseuse last night, Wu Di was clamoring for Brother Jie to make it up tonight.
Luo Wenjie was quite generous. He immediately waved over a staff member.
"Brother Di, don't say I'm not giving you a chance. Go with him and pick yourself. Whichever masseuse you choose, you can enjoy the service first, okay?"
Wu Di was tempted, but just as he was about to get up, he noticed Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai still sitting beside him.
"What's this? You guys aren't going?"
Chen Fan shook his head, "I already had a massage last night, don't feel like moving."
"Damn. Such a good opportunity to take advantage of Brother Jie, and you don't want to go?"
"Brothers, we can't just sit here drinking tea and chatting all night, can we?"
Guo Shuai laughed and suggested, "Why don't we try the foot bath here?"
Ma Xiaoshuai's eyes lit up.
"That sounds good."
Seeing this, Wu Di also decided not to go, and waved the staff member away.
They chose a large private room, lay on the big sofas, and enjoyed the foot massage from the masseuses.
"Boss, is your leg injured?"
The girl giving Chen Fan a foot bath looked very young and spoke with the soft accent typical of women from Jiangnan.
Chen Fan nodded, "I had a fracture a while back."
The girl nodded, "Then you need to take good care of it, especially the relaxation and blood circulation of the soles of your feet."
"I'll give you a foot bath first, then a foot massage. If you feel uncomfortable, please let me know."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded, "Thank you."
Beside him, Wu Di looked at Luo Wenjie.
"Not bad. These masseuses aren't newbies, are they?"
Luo Wenjie was quite proud, "Of course not. I spent a lot of money to poach them from other clubs."
Food and snacks were provided here. Since he hadn't eaten all day, Chen Fan didn't hold back. He ate several plates of salmon and sushi alone, and finally ate several pieces of Hami melon.
It was the first time the masseuses had seen someone come to a place like this just to eat. They were amused by Chen Fan and kept laughing.
This made Luo Wenjie quite embarrassed.
"Brother Fan, are you deliberately trying to ruin my business?"
Chen Fan couldn't be bothered with the nonsense from the guys beside him. After eating and drinking his fill, he lay down on the sofa, feeling so comfortable he just wanted to sleep.
It had to be said, this young girl's massage technique was really good.
Soon, Chen Fan dozed off.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Fan was awakened by a shout.
When he opened his eyes, he found Ma Xiaoshuai next to him throwing a piece of watermelon rind at his head.
"Damn. You sleep like the dead. We called you several times and you didn't respond."
"What's up?" Chen Fan looked confused.
"Your phone rang," Ma Xiaoshuai pointed to the tea table next to Chen Fan.
"It's rung several times."
Chen Fan looked over puzzled, reached out to pick up the phone, and was surprised when he saw the caller ID.
Gao Xiaoxi?
Why would this girl suddenly call him?
Making a shushing gesture to the others, Chen Fan answered the call.
"Hello..."
Chen Fan hadn't even finished one word when he heard a girl crying on the other end of the phone.
"Brother-in-law, save me... come quickly and save me..."
Chen Fan was stunned and immediately sat up straight.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Xiaoxi, don't cry first, tell me what's going on?"
Seeing Chen Fan's expression change, Ma Xiaoshuai, Brother Jie, and the others all kept quiet and looked over curiously.
"Who's Xiaoxi?"
