Chapter 233 Going on Stage
Little Crown underground parking lot.
The lights emitted a dim, yellowish glow, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
No sooner had Bai Li left than Jing Ye quietly appeared from the stairwell.
His deep blue eyes were calm and still, fixed on the direction Bai Li had left in.
His face didn't show many obvious expressions, but a hint of doubt was visible in his eyes.
He could not hide the fact that the young lady had left work early today.
He thought Bai Li must have something important to do, which was why she followed him to take a look.
But upon seeing Jiang Mingfei, Jingye's mood instantly lightened, yet remained indescribably complex.
The reason she was relaxed was that the young lady had gone out with friends and there was nothing urgent.
But this realization did not dispel his doubts; instead, it made him even more volatile.
Since it was just a regular get-together with friends, why didn't you tell him?
Jingye knew better than anyone else that demanding that her mistress report everything to her was a bit presumptuous, even excessive.
A young lady needs her own independent space and life, and has no obligation to tell herself about every action she takes.
But Bai Li was clearly deliberately avoiding him this time.
This is the first time this has ever happened.
This has never happened before. What kind of itinerary would make Bai Li choose to hide it?
A strange and unfamiliar feeling, like vines, grew and spread from the depths of his heart, gradually entangling his entire being and making him feel a strange unease.
This is also why he chose to hide in the shadows and silently watch Bai Li leave.
A voice inside me kept telling me not to overthink it or ask any more questions, or I would regret it.
Ah Hu had already noticed Jing Ye.
Despite his burly appearance, Ah Hu is actually quite thoughtful.
He was always by Bai Li's side, so he knew her relationship status very well.
There are many men who are close to Bai Li, but this is the only one who has entered into the inner circle and occupies a pivotal position in Bai Li's life.
Ah Hu held great respect for this person who was very likely to accompany Bai Li for a long time in the future and become an important pillar in her life.
At this moment, when Ah Hu saw Jing Ye appear, he bowed slightly and greeted her in a respectful yet measured manner.
He had to catch up with the young lady afterward, and didn't have time to say anything more to Jingye.
Jingye simply nodded quietly.
Upon seeing Ah Hu, his heart sank even further.
When Bai Li went out this time, she didn't even take Ah Hu with her.
Ah Hu, a person whom the young lady trusted implicitly, was excluded. What could be the special and secretive reason behind this?
Jingye couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Despite his desperate attempts to restrain himself and his constant reminders not to overthink, the deep-seated unease within him was still irresistible, driving him to keep thinking about it.

the other side.
"In simple terms, a catwalk is where we choose suitable clothes for the models according to our own preferences. Then, the models will wear these clothes and walk the runway in a specific venue, just like a fashion show."
After hearing Jiang Mingfei's explanation, Bai Li understood, and a look of realization flashed in her eyes: "That sounds quite interesting."
City people know how to have fun.
If Jiang Mingfei had told her earlier that the club was like this, this "lustful lazybones" might have come much sooner.
"Isn't it interesting?" Jiang Mingfei smiled and said softly, "I won't lie to you, the quality here is very high. Although it can't compare to your male friends, it's just that each one has its own unique charm."
Upon hearing Jiang Mingfei mention "male confidant," Bai Li inexplicably felt a pang of guilt.
After all, she hadn't told anyone about coming to the club today, not even Jingye.
Even if Jingye were told, he probably wouldn't say anything.
But Bai Li was still a little scared and didn't dare to say anything.
Jingye rarely reveals his emotions, but once he has a thought in his mind, it will definitely be reflected in his actions.
If Jingye found out she went to a club, she couldn't imagine how Jingye would "retaliate" against her in a much more intense way.
Bai Li quickly put her finger to her lips and made a "shh" gesture.
Seeing Bai Li's actions, Jiang Mingfei instantly understood, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes. She provoked, "What? You didn't tell them?"
Bai Li's cheeks flushed slightly as she truthfully replied, "I didn't say."
How do I put it?
Jiang Mingfei clicked her tongue twice, dismissively saying, "What's there to be afraid of? My family doesn't dare utter a sound if they know I'm here."
Bai Li sighed helplessly and retorted, "I'm not like you!"
Jiang Mingfei and the others are all obedient and adorable.
Those around her were either ferocious beasts like tigers and wolves or clever and cunning foxes, none of whom were easy to mess with.
If they find out, even just one of them will cause a scene.
As they spoke, the two were led by staff into a spacious and grand hall.
Inside the hall, the lights were dazzling, as if stars had fallen to earth.
The T-shaped stage in the center of the hall was gently surrounded by layers of blue hydrangeas. The flowers were full, delicate and round, with petals unfolding and overlapping, creating a breathtaking sight.
The rich floral fragrance, like a soft ribbon, drifted gently throughout the space.
Intense lights shone down on the runway without reservation, draping it in a layer of golden silk, holy and radiant.
The booths under the runway were also uniquely designed.
The semi-transparent railings and lush greenery intertwine, cleverly separating the various booths and creating a private yet elegant atmosphere.
The booths feature comfortable sofas, and the coffee table is laden with delicate snacks and drinks.
The lighting off the stage was softer compared to the runway, and the railings further limited the view.
Even so, one could still vaguely see that several tables of guests had already been seated. Their figures appeared and disappeared in the light and shadow, their clothes were exquisite, and their every move exuded an extraordinary temperament, making it clear at a glance that they were either rich or noble.
With a smile, Manager Liao led Bai Li and Jiang Mingfei to their designated booth.
Considering that this was Bai Li's first visit, after Bai Li was seated, Manager Liao carefully handed her a PAD.
Then, in a very proper posture, he respectfully knelt down beside Bai Li's legs, maintaining a just-right distance from her, so that he could meticulously teach her how to operate the equipment without making her feel uncomfortable in the slightest.
This PAD is very versatile, covering almost all possible functions. You can order food and drinks, choose clothes for the models, and even directly select models you are interested in to sit in a booth.
However, all the prices are quite touching.
Take the cheapest drink, Coca-Cola, for example; a can costs 55 yuan.
And the selection of alcoholic beverages, costing thousands or even tens of thousands, is dazzling.
Among them, the most expensive wine has an opening price of one million yuan.
Having spent so much time in Wuhai, Bai Li has gained some understanding of the quality and price of the liquor.
Bai Li recognized this bottle of wine; at market price, it would be just over 100,000 yuan, far from such an outrageous price.
The person who can command such a high price is clearly not buying the wine itself, and the purpose of opening this bottle is definitely not simply for drinking.
If she guessed correctly, this bottle of wine wasn't opened for herself, but for the people here.
The focus is on the people; the wine is secondary. The key is the subsequent actions that follow after the wine is opened.
The interface for selecting models to sit in booths is even more outrageous.
In auctions without a fixed price, the highest bidder wins.
Although the auction hasn't started yet, Bai Li can already foresee how outrageous the bidding prices will be based on her intuition.
Manager Liao patiently explained the various functions of the PAD, trying his best to explain each function perfectly.
Finally, she gently tapped a button on the PAD and said softly, "This button is for calling. If you have any other questions, just press this button."
Finally, he nodded slightly, a perfectly timed smile playing on his lips. The smile was gentle and subtle, revealing not a single tooth. He blinked and added softly, "Also, I'm one of the models, Mr. Bai. You're very welcome to choose me."
Jiang Mingfei watched quietly as Manager Liao conducted his instruction, her expression subtle.
She knows how to use PAD well. It doesn't matter if Bai Li doesn't know how to use it; she'll take care of it.
Why is this guy surnamed Liao working so hard today, personally teaching so diligently? Does he have nothing better to do?
Jiang Mingfei and Manager Liao had known each other for a long time and knew his thoughts very well.
Manager Liao's intentions at this moment are as clear as day.
Upon hearing Manager Liao's last words, Jiang Mingfei finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Perhaps everything before was just a setup?
That last sentence is the key point.
She chuckled lightly and said with a hint of teasing, "Manager Liao, you seem to have a lot of free time today?"
Manager Liao naturally understood the underlying meaning in Jiang Mingfei's words. Even though he was being teased, he remained calm, only slightly raising his eyes and glancing subtly at Bai Li before explaining:
"I'm so sorry to bother you. It's just that this is Mr. Bai's first visit, and I was afraid that I might not be able to provide adequate service. I hope you can forgive my rudeness."
After saying that, Manager Liao winked at Bai Li, looking innocent, and with a perfectly timed smile, he was very charming.
Looking at Manager Liao's smile, Bai Li thought to herself that this smile must have been rigorously trained. It was just right, with no teeth visible, yet it made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, which was very comfortable.
Moreover, Manager Liao maintained a half-kneeling posture throughout, which meant that Bai Li's gaze was always above his.
Every time he looked at Bai Li, he had to tilt his head slightly upwards.
For the person doing this action, holding it for a long time is really uncomfortable.
However, for Bai Li, who enjoys the service, this difference in status brings an invisible sense of control that is unique to those in a superior position.
Fortunately, Bai Li had seen too many stunningly beautiful faces and was immune to ordinary good looks, otherwise she would have been completely swayed by Manager Liao's tactics.
Bai Li nodded slightly: "Thank you."
Manager Liao knew when to stop, and seeing Bai Li's lukewarm reaction, he knew he shouldn't force her to stay any longer.
He felt regretful, but showed it on his face, and could only leave respectfully, saying, "I wish you both a pleasant time."
After Manager Liao left, Jiang Mingfei began to whisper with Bai Li, saying, "That Liao guy is a shrewd one. He likes to tailor his approach to different situations. He was so enthusiastic today, he must have recognized you."
Bai Li knew that Jiang Mingfei was right.
This was the first time I had met Manager Liao, but he had an initial 10 points of goodwill towards me.
It's probably because of that interview video again...
The interview video seems to have spread more widely than I imagined.
Even the staff here recognized me at a glance...
Actually, it's not surprising that Manager Liao could recognize Bai Li.
His job is to deal with wealthy people.
So I usually try to remember what rich people look like.
He had memorized Bai Li's appearance the moment he stumbled upon her video.
The fact that someone can hold a managerial position in such a place speaks volumes about their abilities.
Almost instantly upon meeting her today, Manager Liao recognized Bai Li, and after hearing Jiang Mingfei's introduction, he was even more certain of his suspicions.
—Bai Li, CEO of Day and Night Entertainment.
A rising star in the entertainment industry, enjoying unparalleled popularity.
They are definitely among their top customers.
Not to mention that she is actually really that beautiful.
He didn't even need to think to know how fiercely his group of "bastards" would fight for Bai Li's favor.
Let alone those "bastards," even he himself couldn't help but be "tempted." If Bai Li took a liking to him, it would be worth it to be kept by her for a month or two.
Unfortunately, they probably didn't fancy me.
On the other side, while Jiang Mingfei was still explaining the specific gameplay to Bai Li, the lights in the hall flickered and became even dimmer, while the lights on the stage became increasingly dazzling.
Bai Li and Jiang Mingfei both looked towards the catwalk.
The music started slowly, and the lights focused on the entrance to the catwalk; the walk was about to begin.
Jiang Mingfei is absolutely right.
It's really no different from a model walking the runway.
It's even more sophisticated and better suited to the general public's aesthetic.
Every model who walked out scored over 80 points in terms of appearance.
While watching the show, Jiang Mingfei provided explanations to Bai Li:
"The person who came out now is Aether. He's very funny, but unfortunately, after lifting weights, he became a tough guy and is now an 'ex'."
"I don't know this person very well. Who picked out this outfit for him today? It's a bit ugly."
"This is Noir. Don't be fooled by his cold face and cool demeanor; he's a mixed-race sweetheart."
……
Jiang Mingfei's explanation was very interesting, and Bai Li listened and laughed.
The mixed-race sweetheart on stage seemed to notice the gazes here. When she saw Jiang Mingfei, her eyes lit up, and as she passed by them, she made a heart shape with her hands.
Seeing this, Jiang Mingfei remained calm and returned a small heart gesture.
Bai Li stared in disbelief, exclaiming in awe: "Sister, you're so skilled!"
Jiang Mingfei waved her hand: "Basic operation, how about it? Which one do you like? I'll help you decide, and we can invite you over to play together later."
