"Did you do something wrong, kid?" Luo Guoqing was anxious.

"No such thing." Lin Chuan replied, then turned around and walked away.

Luo Guoqing, with all his years, has seen all sorts of things. One look at Lin Chuan and he knew this guy must be hiding something. He pointed at Lin Chuan, feeling a sort of frustration that comes from disappointment, grinding his teeth: "You... you..."

Xiao Xue was also quite puzzled, just as they were leaving, Tang Yumeng suddenly changed her mind and asked Xiao Xue to notify Luo Guoqing to drive, which left Xiao Xue somewhat confused. Could it be that Lin Chuan made some mistake? So much so that Secretary Tang had forsaken her personal driver, Lin Chuan.

After this incident, Lin Chuan realized a fact – Tang Yumeng had already abandoned him.

Lin Chuan took a fierce drag on the cigarette filter, only to find that the cigarette had gone out. With a flick of his finger, he accurately tossed the filter into the trash can, then Lin Chuan turned to leave the City Committee. And turned back from the City Committee to Changlin Community.

Being forsaken for no good reason, it was she who initially brought him in, and now she has given him the cold shoulder, an indescribable feeling.

Back to Changlin Community.

Zhou Kai and the others were bustling non-stop, this bunch of guys, since getting their paychecks, each had erupted with surprising potential. As if they could work endlessly day and night. Because they were busy preparing for the year-end Staff Celebration Meeting. These guys started to contact the former Changlin Factory Cultural Troupe. However, the once glorious cultural troupe are mostly aged now. But their solid foundation is something that can never be forgotten for a lifetime.

"Brother Chuan, you're back?" Zhou Kai, biting a banana, smiled and said, "These past two days, we've already contacted the former head of the cultural troupe, he has agreed to help us contact the former members, and is willing to perform."

"Mhm." Lin Chuan was distracted.

"Also, I'm planning to build a big stage at the factory gate, just like before, and post posters in the style of the old big-character posters..." Zhou Kai didn't notice Lin Chuan's distraction, excitedly sharing his thoughts and insights.

"Alright, you decide." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Brother Chuan, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Kai finally realized something was off with Lin Chuan: "Did something happen to you?"

"It's nothing." Lin Chuan smiled faintly, saying, "I'll leave the Staff Celebration Meeting to you; remember to notify the former employees of Changlin Factory."

"Sure." Zhou Kai nodded.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Kai, Lin Chuan decided to simply return home. He slept throughout the day at home and was refreshed by the evening.

Lin Chuan decided to go to a bar to distract himself.

Extraordinary Bar, too expensive, Lin Chuan couldn't afford to go there. He simply picked a random bar on the bar street. The roaring music, the wild rock, almost made the whole ground tremble. Inside, various men and women swayed in the dance floor. With crazy music, they rhythmically nodded their heads, women flinging their hair.

The red lights and the wine, the neon lights were somewhat dazzling.

In such a chaotic place, under the stimulation of alcohol, human nature is inevitably revealed. Fights and brawls in bars are common occurrences. Therefore, any bar has sufficient security forces, tall and burly security guards, wearing thick bulletproof vests, carrying batons on their backs, and strapped with short knives, ready to be on guard at all times. Such bars generally have some backing and connections. Gang fights often start at the frontlines of bars.

Lin Chuan walked in, scanning the interior of the bar with his eyes.

This one movement immediately attracted the attention of many people. For someone like Lin Chuan, who was clueless about bars, he became an object of contention for quite a few people. Secretly, a man and a woman exchanged glances, each revealing a provocative look.

The man took the initiative to approach Lin Chuan and smiled, "Hey, little brother, want to skate?"

"No need." Lin Chuan waved his hand.

Lin Chuan was somewhat familiar with the industry lingo. "Skating" was just jargon for doing drugs, specifically ice or meth. Seeing Lin Chuan's resolute refusal, the man left feeling embarrassed. Not far away, that woman looked at the man with a smug expression. She hopped off the high stool in the bar.

She stepped in her high heels, walking slowly towards Lin Chuan.

"Handsome, drinking alone?" The woman showed an ambiguous smile, as if telling Lin Chuan that if he invited her for a drink, she would be his for the night.

"Yeah." Lin Chuan glanced at her, the woman had good looks, wearing a red gauze dress, with a very low-cut neckline. The two squeezed-together mounds of flesh, under the stimulus of light and alcohol, were incredibly tempting.

The woman flirted in front of Lin Chuan, then smiled and said, "Looks like you're not in a good mood?"

"Mhm." Lin Chuan nodded, and bypassing the woman, walked further inside.

The woman was taken aback, cursing furiously inside. Motherfucker, with a 36E bra size, I've taken down countless enemies and stormed thousands of forts. Yet today, I've been beaten by a hot-blooded young punk. This irritated her. The woman was named Fang Yuan, the most experienced 'alcohol pusher' in the bar, and many men were willing to be tricked by her. She earned over a hundred thousand a month. The bar owner had mixed feelings for her. He loved her because she brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue each month, but he hated that he had always wanted a piece of her, yet he could never get it.

Fang Yuan's face turned blue with anger.

"Hehe, so there's a woman even Miss Fang can't handle?" The drug-dealing runner who had just approached was grinning, his eyes fixed on Fang Yuan's almost-revealed cleavage. He said, "Looks like you're going to hit a snag today."

"Nonsense." Fang Yuan glared at him and cursed: "Get the hell out of my way, and watch how I deal with this milk-snot punk today."

Having said that, Fang Yuan immediately withdrew her smile, tugged at her clothes, revealing more than an inch of her chest. She smiled ambiguously once again and followed Lin Chuan to the bar, sitting down next to him.

"What's your name?" Fang Yuan skillfully lit a cigarette.

Lin Chuan glanced at her, took the cigarette from her mouth, took a deep drag, and said, "My name is Lin Chuan. Let's say this cigarette is a trade for my name."

Fang Yuan was dumbfounded, then she chuckled and said, "Alright."

Lin Chuan took another drag: "What's your name?"

"My name is Fang Yuan, not the 'yuan' as in 'circle', but the 'yuan' as in 'distinguished beauty'." Fang Yuan lit another cigarette for herself.

"As a woman, wearing such revealing clothes and flaunting yourself in a bar, do you really think that's okay?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"What's wrong with that?" Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Everyone has their own way of life and doesn't tolerate criticism from anyone."

"That's true." Lin Chuan shouted to the bartender: "Pal, get me a beer."

"Sure thing." The waiter immediately nodded.

"Aren't you going to buy me a drink?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Why should I buy you a drink?" Lin Chuan smiled indifferently.

Fang Yuan frowned, cursing inwardly. Am I really going to be let down today? My invincible figure is actually encountering such an ignorant punk. Could this kid be impotent from the start?

Collecting her feelings, Fang Yuan put on a seductive smile and said, "If you buy me a drink today, you can make any request tonight, any request, and I'll satisfy you—guaranteed to satisfy."

Her tone was blatantly flirtatious, not just her tone, but even her gaze was soul-stirring and heart-captivating. Most men would have agreed on the spot by now. Lin Chuan turned to look at her. Seeing this, Fang Yuan quickly thrust out her chest, the white crevice, like undulating mountain peaks—just short of revealing the blood-red 'snow lotuses' at the top of the mountains.

Seduction, this was brazen seduction.

Lin Chuan almost fell for it too. He took a deep breath and smiled, "Really?"

"Of course it's real." Fang Yuan leaned closer, her snow-white, lotus-like arm hooking around Lin Chuan's neck. Her sexy red lips blew a tempting breath on Lin Chuan's face. Lin Chuan hurriedly closed his eyes and said, "Alright, alright, I'll buy you a drink."

"Really?" Fang Yuan feigned 'surprise'. In fact, at this stage of setting a trap, the prey would usually have been hooked already. Lin Chuan was a tougher target, needing her to go to this extent. Normally, as soon as she stood in front of the prey, they would immediately take the initiative to drink with her. Fang Yuan innocently said, "Brother Lin, you have to be gentle with me tonight."

Fang Yuan's flirtatiousness seemed natural, but in Lin Chuan's heart, it couldn't have been more artificial. Inside, Lin Chuan had a million "fuck yous" running wild.

"Order whatever you want to drink," Lin Chuan responded.

"Let's start with a bottle of Charming Blue on ice," Fang Yuan quickly gestured.

"Okay." The bartender nodded and took a bottle of alcohol from the top shelf behind him, placing it on the bar.

Fang Yuan opened the bottle proficiently and said, "This Charming Blue is mixed by the top bartender here. It's said that this mysterious bartender only comes once a month, mixes ten drinks each time, and each batch gets snatched up in a flash. If you want to drink it, you have to buy this Charming Blue. They say this Charming Blue is a drink with a story."

"Is it really that magical?" Lin Chuan inquired.

"Of course." Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Don't believe me? Just try it."

After that, Fang Yuan immediately poured Lin Chuan a glass. Lin Chuan first savored a sip. The drink was stimulating at first, but soon became smooth. Lin Chuan downed the small half-glass. The choking sensation passed in an instant, and then the liquor became very mellow, like a ray of spring sunlight, lying on the lawn, basking in the light filtering through the leaves, warm and cheerful.

Lin Chuan thoroughly enjoyed the sensation, believing that this feeling was Charming Blue's charm. However, as soon as the alcohol reached his stomach, a tumultuous wave erupted, as if bursting with a pure vitality. The whole process felt like being reborn from the dead.
