"What's wrong?"
Seeing both of his good brothers reject his kindness, Xu Wenjun was a bit stunned.
This wasn't just polite talk; he truly wanted to give those close to him a leg up.
"Don't go into business with good friends; human nature can't withstand the test of profit."
Zhang Yang said seriously.
So many friends have ended up as enemies because of business partnerships.
No matter how good the relationship is, conflicts will arise over long-term profit distribution.
"That's right. The way of friendship is the opposite of the way of business."
Lin Mo echoed.
What friends should do is treat each other with sincerity, support one another, and live their own lives well.
As for business, there's a saying: no merchant is not deceitful.
A merchant with a conscience can't make money; without one, they can make much more.
Although helping Xu Wenjun wouldn't be a partnership model, it would essentially be sucking his blood, which could easily lead to friction.
"Then I wish for all of us to live the lives we want."
Xu Wenjun smiled and didn't push further.
It was precisely because they shared the same values that they could be good brothers.
"Let's go, time for a drink!"
Xu Wenjun waved to his other friends, and they entered the Venus Bar together.
Compared to those neon-lit Bars, this place felt more like a luxury showroom.
Young, beautiful, and sexy Salespersons moved through the crowd.
Under the catalysis of alcohol and beauty, spending money became natural.
"Old Xu, you wouldn't spend money to book girls, would you?"
Lin Mo suddenly teased.
Xu Wenjun was a playboy who was always surrounded by beauties; he wouldn't be here today paying for professional staff, would he?
These scantily clad girls didn't fit their taste.
In Lin Mo's dictionary, picking up girls yourself was the only way.
"Bullshit. When have you ever seen me spend money? These are all students from local prestigious universities."
Xu Wenjun reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling.
Sharing the same philosophy as Lin Mo, he also pursued the sense of achievement that came from picking up girls.
Paying for these common beauties would be too classless.
"Old Xu, when are you going to teach us some pick-up skills?"
Another boy wearing glasses asked while rubbing his hands together.
Xu Wenjun was never short of beauties, which made him so envious he was nearly grinding his teeth to dust.
"There's only one core to picking up girls: being handsome."
This was said by Zhang Yang.
From Lin Mo to Xu Wenjun, and even Zhang Yang, the three of them were typical handsome guys.
Therefore, their gatherings never lacked high-quality girls.
"Being handsome is just the entry level; you won't need the deeper stuff that comes after."
Lin Mo walked forward with a smile and patted the glasses-wearing guy on the shoulder.
This glasses-wearing guy was named Wang Peng. He loved studying beauties on a daily basis, but unfortunately, he had average looks and no money in his pockets, leaving him with nothing but theories.
"Go on, beauties like people with inner substance. You guys are too shallow."
Wang Peng argued righteously.
Only looking at appearances was entirely without depth.
However, he also knew this was just self-consolation.
This world was far too partial to those who looked good.
Less than five minutes after Lin Mo and the others sat down, seven or eight young and beautiful girls walked over.
"Brother Jun, happy birthday!"
One of the tall, short-haired girls presented a bouquet of flowers to Xu Wenjun.
Regardless, today was his birthday.
Wang Peng, who had just been talking about shallowness, stared wide-eyed at this group of beauties.
Given the number, he should be able to match with one, right?
Looking at this group of so-called college students, Lin Mo somewhat admired Xu Wenjun, though his own taste was relatively more mature.
Compared to these naive college students, Lin Mo preferred those with mature charm.
Of course, for dating, it had to be an eighteen-year-old.
Besides, now that he knew Jiang Wanli, these moderately attractive girls immediately lost their appeal.
Having seen the vast ocean, other waters no longer seem like water; it was probably something like that.
"Come, come, everyone get to know each other."
Xu Wenjun put his arm around the short-haired beauty and then gestured for the others to sit together in male-female pairs.
Inviting so many girls out was naturally not for him to keep all to himself.
Although she wasn't as pretty as Jiang Wanli, Lin Mo wasn't going to play the prude and immediately matched up with a girl wearing a slip dress.
Matching with Lin Mo, the girl was clearly very happy.
Among the boys present, Lin Mo and Xu Wenjun were the handsomest.
"Come, let's wish President Xu a happy birthday."
Lin Mo opened a beer with one hand and then laughed while putting his arm around the girl beside him.
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses in response.
With girls acting as a lubricant, the atmosphere instantly heated up.
Before long, some were already hugging and kissing.
During this time, Lin Mo spotted a familiar figure.
"Han You?"
A tall young man was surrounded by a group of sexy women.
This person was exactly the Han You he had encountered at the cinema entrance yesterday.
At the same time, he was also Jiang Wanli's senior.
However, Han You was currently dead drunk, seemingly in a bad mood.
"Holy crap, guess what I just saw?"
Xu Wenjun, returning from the restroom, looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of shock.
Zhang Yang looked at him with disdain. What could one possibly see in a Bar?
Alcohol and women, nothing more.
Xu Wenjun didn't have time to explain much; he immediately turned sideways and pointed his hand in a certain direction.
There was the central Bar counter of the venue.
The circular table area was a riot of colors.
A young and beautiful girl was sitting there all alone.
The girl had a lithe figure and seductive curves. Just her profile alone was enough to stun everyone. Her light-colored denim miniskirt perfectly showcased her well-proportioned, fair, long legs.
Lin Mo and the others couldn't take their eyes off her after just one look.
In the Venus Bar, the one thing that was never lacking was beauties.
However, although this girl was sexy and graceful, she carried an ethereal aura.
It was as if she were bathed in radiance, blooming quietly.
"Wanli?"
Lin Mo's first reaction was that it was Jiang Wanli.
Even though he only saw her profile, it was nearly a 99% match with Jiang Wanli.
However, his intuition told him something was off.
And so, the system made its appearance.
[Name] Jiang Yuen
[Age] 18 years old
[Trust Level] -
[Identity] Jiang Wanli's younger sister; Song Xi's younger daughter
[Personal Secret] Chose to run away from home after being lectured by her mother.
[Current Thought] Irritable and angry; will scold anyone who tries to hit on her.
...Lin Mo smiled faintly. Well, well, well.
Earlier in the evening, Jiang Wanli had mentioned that her twin sister had run away from home.
And here he was, running into her.
This really was 'coincidence's mother opening the door for coincidence'—it was coincidence to the extreme.
With such identical divine looks, they truly were twins.
Lin Mo quickly took out his phone and snapped a photo of Jiang Yuen in the distance.
He sent it to Jiang Wanli to let her know she was safe.
Jiang Wanli replied instantly, asking Lin Mo to help look after her.
To this, Lin Mo naturally felt it was his duty.
This might be his future sister-in-law, after all.
In a place like a Bar, many degenerate fellows might do stupid things driven by alcohol; he had to be on guard.
"Old Xu, given your style, you're not going to go over and strike up a conversation?"
Zhang Yang snapped out of it and asked back while clicking his tongue.
