Chapter 152: This Counts as a Shag Arena Too!

Luo Yan was scared out of her wits.
Could someone be here to check the water meter?
She wasn't someone who had never watched television dramas; how could she not know what checking the water meter implied?
Besides, hadn't Momo told her to drink rat-tail soup, meaning that matter was already put to rest?
Why was this happening?
Her assistant was naturally not stupid either and knew what this was about, but she didn't dare refuse to open the door.
The door swung open.
Several property management staff walked in, and one of them said, "Excuse us, ladies. We're just going to check the water meter and then we'll be on our way."
With that, he actually began to seriously inspect the water meter and record the numbers.
Luo Yan was already in a foul mood, and seeing that the person was still talking back, she immediately snapped, "I don't care what your working hours are, you are disturbing me."
"This girl has a pretty good voice," Huang Bin smiled and remarked after the girl finished singing.
Evidently, these were actual water meter readers.
...
The video had already gone viral.
After all, since the Starry Night Bar was aiming for high-end clientele in the future, the quality of its singers absolutely had to be top-tier.
Once they were seated, Zhao Mo habitually took the seat right beside Chu Lin.
Then, her gaze fell upon the Bentley car keys Luo Yan had left behind on the table. Driven by a sudden impulse, she grabbed the keys, snapped a photo, and sent it via WeChat to a newly added contact: "Handsome, my newly bought Bentley. Want to go for a ride?"
She had added this handsome guy at a coffee shop. He was extremely good-looking, so she had been posing as a wealthy second-generation female heir to him, and he seemed quite interested.
Zhao Mo, Zhuli, and the other girls were full of curiosity.
"Alright," Chu Lin responded with a smile, and then shared the matter with Huang Bin and Zhao Mo.
"None of your damn business, as if I don't know the law—" Luo Yan turned her head almost instinctively, intending to lecture the person who had just disciplined her.
Even if a woman isn't pretty, she needs money to pick up guys.
"..." Cai Yao felt deeply pierced by those words.
Because many internet influencers had posted about it, it generated massive traffic. Furthermore, when many people saw the video of Luo Yan being taken away by the police and went to check Luo Yan's account, they discovered that her account had already been banned by TikTok.
Ultimately, after comprehensive consideration, the Starry Night Bar decided to initially recruit only one female singer who had a great figure, attractive looks, and a wonderful voice.
"Stop pretending! You're best at saying one thing and meaning another," Liu Ling gave her a side-eye.
Chu Lin also received a call from Cai Yao, hearing her excited voice come through: "President Chu, you've seen the news online, right? That Luo Yan is finished. Now our cooking wine has exploded in popularity. Not only Yonghui Supermarket, but other retail channels have also actively contacted us, and quite a few distributors have reached out as well."
Almost instantly.
On the stage, a slender young woman was singing a song titled "Begging for Salvation," her voice truly pleasant to the ear.
Zhuli and the others finally understood why Lunyao Restaurant was so expensive; the oysters were genuinely delicious, and the tiger prawns and other dishes were equally exceptional.
After all, the vast majority of people had never dined at such high-end establishments.
Having said that, she also turned to Chu Lin and said, "President Chu, you should say a few words too."
"..." Luo Yan's mouth dropped open instantly, her previous overbearing demeanor vanishing and turning utterly ghastly.
As the group was listening to songs, Li Xue from the media team suddenly ran over and said excitedly, "You guys need to check the internet! That Luo Yan has been taken away by the police."
Although it was something they had anticipated long ago, upon hearing the news, Chu Lin and the others immediately pulled up the videos on TikTok.
In the supreme VIP booth, Chu Lin and Huang Bin were present, along with Zhuli, the planner from the media team, while Zhao Mo leaned intimately against Chu Lin's chest.
Tonight, apart from inviting Wu Ying, Cai Yao had also brought along her best friend, Liu Ling.
Just then, a voice came from the doorway, explaining, "Madam, although property management staff are professionals serving the residents of the community, when it comes to accidents, crises, and similar events within the community, residents also have a duty to cooperate. Failing to do so can result in losses or hazards, which carries legal liability."
What on earth?
Cai Yao hurriedly explained, "President Chu contacted her to shoot the cooking wine advertisement! They just met recently!"
What was going on with this woman?
The property staff were left speechless. Had this woman eaten gunpowder?
After finishing her drink with Liu Ling, she poured another glass and said to Zhao Mo, "Momo, let's have a drink too."
In addition, there was Chu Yan, who had tagged along to join the fun.
She turned her head and froze in her tracks.
Liu Ling, however, reminded her, "Just meeting recently doesn't mean nothing can happen. Didn't you and President Chu meet not long ago, and now you're together? It doesn't matter; why else would she sit right next to President Chu the moment she sat down? People say she's being backed by someone—chances are it's President Chu."
She walked straight over to a computer and opened up a monitoring backend.
Chu Lin could tell that President Cai was extremely happy, so he smiled and said, "President Cai, you can make the decision on this."
Naturally, this also brought Zhao Mo another wave of fans. Therefore, back at the bar, Zhao Mo, having watched the video, couldn't help planting a kiss on Chu Lin's cheek.
"I don't have much to say. Everyone has worked hard," Chu Lin replied perfunctorily. He then poured a glass of wine, intending to toast Cai Yao, but the moment he picked up the glass, he remembered that the young mistress of the Cai family had just declared she wouldn't share any drinks with him.
She was currently the retained lawyer handling the case for Zhao Mo and Lunyao Cooking Wine. With her law firm assigning a team to assist her with the case, she could leave the other matters to those lawyers and just handle the handover here.
Huang Bin looked at Chu Lin with puzzlement; he could distinctly sense that the atmosphere was rather strange. Could it be that this brother of his had a scandal blow up?
He was well aware that both this young mistress of the Cai family and Zhao Mo had romantic entanglements with him.
"Thank you, President Chu," Zhao Mo smiled sweetly. The fact that President Chu thought of her first still made her very happy.
"If there's a big feast, I'm definitely going," Huang Bin immediately accepted.
Without hesitation, she clipped the video and sent it to those internet influencers.
She figured that since even Momo had forgiven her, there was no way anyone would still come to check her water meter.
As the meal was drawing to a close, Zhao Mo couldn't help inviting Chu Lin: "President Chu, Zhuli is planning to help me start a live broadcast at the bar tonight. Can you come and watch?"
The moment those words left her mouth, Liu Ling chimed in, "President Chu, Yaoyao is drunk, and I have things to take care of. Could you please send her home?"
"I've never ridden in a Bentley," the handsome guy immediately replied.
As night fell, Cai Yao witnessed this scene. Initially, she didn't think much of it, but her best friend Liu Ling suddenly whispered, "Does President Chu have something going on with this female influencer?"
The property staff wore expressions of utter bewilderment.
Afterwards, they proceeded to toast Zhuli and the others one by one, including Huang Bin, but completely omitted Chu Lin, ignoring him entirely.
They had naturally heard of Lunyao Restaurant. It was currently the top high-end restaurant in Min City, and while the food was rumored to be exceptionally delicious, it was also exorbitant—a single good meal for a few people could cost ten to twenty thousand yuan.
She received a transfer notification; the smaller ones were two thousand, while the larger ones reached tens of thousands.
Seeing this, the assistant standing nearby didn't dare to make a single move, terrified of implicating herself.
"Therefore, I plan to expand our production capacity, using all remaining funds to purchase production lines and materials, and hire more staff for a three-shift rotation."
Luo Yan was hauled away. It took a moment for her assistant to snap out of her daze, and suddenly she hurriedly pulled up the contact information of numerous internet influencers, sending each of them a message: "I have breaking news regarding Luo Yan, but it's not free."
After eating some food, Cai Yao raised her glass to deliver a few remarks, expressing her gratitude and so on.
Soon the dishes were served, and everyone had an oyster, enjoying it immensely.
As several police officers were leading Luo Yan out the door, the property staff stepped forward and said, "Officers, could you please have her sign our inspection sheet? We are required to get signatures for every household when checking water meters."
The singer on stage was naturally someone who had come to audition for the resident singer position—one of the artists who had responded to the group message sent out by Zhao Mo.
It could be said that this matter had finally settled.
Without hesitation, she accepted the payments. She knew Luo Yan was finished this time, so she had to look out for herself.
Two police officers immediately stepped forward and hoisted her to her feet.
This time, she slumped straight down onto the floor.
Seeing this, the assistant smiled.
Now that they knew Lunyao Restaurant belonged to their own boss, they naturally looked forward to dining there for free. Snapping a photo and posting it on WeChat Moments would surely catch the eyes of friends and relatives.
What on earth was wrong with this woman?
The property staff were left speechless. Had this woman lost her mind?
Luo Yan felt an overwhelming sense of despair. Tremblingly, she took the pen and signed her name on the form, scribbling characters that looked like tadpoles.
One of the officers frowned and said, "Miss, this is our job, and moreover, this is our working hours."
She poured a glass for herself and said to Liu Ling, "Let's drink."
After that girl stepped down, an imperial sister-type woman dressed in a spicy outfit took the stage, auditioning with the song "Itch."
The police officer glanced at Luo Yan and said, "Ms. Luo, please cooperate with their work."
Only then did Luo Yan heave a sigh of relief, patting her chest.
If a man isn't handsome, he needs money to pick up women.
The person who had spoken earlier was one of the property staff. Recognizing Luo Yan as the internet celebrity, he said indifferently, "Ms. Luo, it seems you really don't understand the law. You have been placed under formal investigation by the police. Now, please come with us."
People always say that it's easy for rich men to pick up women, but in reality, it's just as easy for rich women to pick up guys.
Several figures clad in police uniforms appeared at the doorway.
Seeing the property staff seriously checking the water meter, Luo Yan grew furious and burst into a tirade: "Are you out of your minds? Why are you checking water meters at a time like this?"
Fortunately, she was just a hired hand.
Cai Yao smiled again and said, "Let's put together a table tonight to celebrate. Make sure to call Zhao Mo, Zhuli, and the others, and Huang Bin too!"
Therefore, such a place was not something they would normally consider for dining.
Yet, thinking about how hard she had been working on all these matters, and how this fellow wasn't even going to toast her?
She then remembered that she had explicitly stated she wouldn't drink with him.
Luo Yan's doorway was equipped with security cameras, and sure enough, they captured the video of Luo Yan being escorted away by the police.
Upon witnessing this, Liu Ling whispered her reminder to Cai Yao once more: "Look at that! President Chu didn't even offer his first toast to you; instead, he went over to drink with that female influencer. Isn't it obvious? President Chu is completely ignoring you."
Chu Lin brought Zhao Mo and the others to the bar, where Cai Yao had already reserved a large private room inside.
The singer auditions concluded by dusk.
For some inexplicable reason, a trace of displeasure suddenly welled up inside her. Unsure of why she felt this way, she could only mutter to her best friend, "That's none of my business."
"..." Cai Yao knew the underlying reason, but for some reason, that tiny bit of displeasure only grew larger.
It would be agonizing if her toast were rejected, so he immediately pivoted toward Zhao Mo and said, "Momo, let's have a drink. Congratulations on becoming a major internet influencer."
The atmosphere remained strange throughout. During this time, Cai Yao seemed extremely eager to drink, downing quite a bit with Liu Ling.
Hearing this, Cai Yao subconsciously glanced at Chu Lin and Momo, finding it genuinely suspicious.
The Starry Night Bar was not open during the day, yet the sound of singing drifted from within.
Cai Yao had indeed consumed a fair amount and was now leaning against Liu Ling's embrace.
Chu Lin's mouth twitched slightly. Was this considered a scene from a Shura field?
