Inside Tianhong.
"So it was Xue Jian’s wife, that’s a relief, she’s still alive." After listening to Lin Li’s explanation, Bai Bufan felt like he’d narrowly escaped death, and let out a long breath. "I really thought I witnessed a cri scene just now and was about to be killed to silence ."
"It’s not that serious. And don’t worry, my phone was recording the whole ti. Even if you really die, the murderer will be found. No need to worry about dying with regrets," Lin Li reassured him.
"... Thank you for that."
But Lin Li didn’t expect to run into Xue Jian here.
This is great, if the Demon Suppression Bureau looks for him again next week, they’ll be ntally prepared.
The two of them had arrived at Room 107.
The double room was spacious, making Lin Li realize even more that Qing Jue couldn’t be considered a conscientious company.
It was because he had limited experience and preconceived notions.
Massage robes hung on both sides of the room, with a privacy curtain that could be pulled between two lounge chairs.
Since Lin Li planned to get a foot massage today, he lay down directly on the chair, waiting for the madam to provide the nu.
Bai Bufan was staring intently at Lin Li, mirroring his every action.
A few minutes later.
The door to Room 107 was knocked on, and a female voice called, "Can I co in?"
Bai Bufan was a bit nervous, not daring to answer, and looked at Lin Li. Facing his gaze, Lin Li responded with slightly mocking eyes.
"Co in!"
The door opened, and Bai Bufan witnessed an unforgettable scene.
One by one, won dressed in Tianhong technicians’ uniforms entered and stood in line in front of the projection screen, instantly making the once spacious room crowded.
Could this be... the legendary selection of concubines?
"Welco to Tianhong Club~~!" Once everyone had entered, they all bowed in unison and shouted welco.
The sound wasn’t loud, but in the small double room, there was a faint echo, loud enough to be terd as deafening.
It brought a significant shock to the spirit.
Seeing this scene, Bai Bufan lost control of his facial expressions, his mouth subconsciously agape in amazent.
A few seconds later, coming to his senses, Bai Bufan was sowhat disdainful of his own lack of composure, thinking he must have embarrassed Lin Li with his foolish look.
So Bai Bufan turned his head. The task at hand was to see how the experienced Lin Li would handle this situation and to learn deeply from him.
——Lin Li’s eyes were wide open, and his mouth hadn’t closed, his face full of shock.
Bai Bufan: "?"
Don’t you have experience? Why are you shocked like you’re at a farr’s market?!
The disdainful gaze from the side was too intense, and Lin Li ca back to his senses.
He really was shocked.
Not because he was intimidated by the scene, but he looked at the madam with a slightly more sophisticated attire than the others and asked in confusion:
"Did Sister Xiaowen get it wrong? We only planned to order a consultation package, and now this is..."
Lin Li, well-versed in the encyclopedia left by Song Luping, naturally knew a lot.
At Tianhong, to select technicians like this, the premise must be that the package is premium, to choose face-to-face, ensuring authenticity. His consultation package absolutely did not include this, so he suspected Sister Xiaowen misrembered what he just said.
"We know," the madam replied with a polite smile, shaking her head. "But because you two guests were introduced by Boss Song, you are esteed guests in our establishnt. Besides giving sufficient discounts, this basic respect naturally needs to be arranged first."
"Oh, oh."
Thank you, Song Luping.
Turns out I’m benefiting from your connections.
"Please, choose." The madam said.
Perhaps because it’s the era of the Great Qing Cleanse, regular custors are fewer, resulting in quite a few free technicians.
Depending on their years of experience, the technicians’ requirents for consultancy rates differed, and their work attitudes varied, showcasing different deanors. So looked at the two with anticipation and hope, while others had fake smiles, with wandering eyes, clearly unwilling to be chosen.
Probably because they thought the pay was too low, or felt Bai Bufan was too unattractive.
Lin Li had already made his decision.
"I’ll pick Xiaojing."
When he saw this na on the na tag in front of each person, Lin Li’s answer was clear.
Though she wasn’t the best-looking in this lineup.
Xiaojing, I’ll commorate you in this way, where you are, can you feel the connection?
"Thank you, boss."
Xiaojing probably didn’t expect to be chosen, and stepped forward to express her gratitude.
"Lin Li, you pick one for ..." The extrely constrained Bai Bufan nearby wasn’t as natural, turning his head to solicit advice.
"You want to choose? Alright, then let’s..."
Lin Li first showed disbelief, pointed to himself, then nodded.
"Wait!! I’ll pick myself!"
Bai Bufan suddenly realized, what if he let Lin Li choose?
If Lin Li chose the madam who seed in her forties to serve him, Bai Bufan believed he would really do such a thing.
Better pick himself.
His gaze road, avoiding the eyes of the remaining technicians.
"I’ll pick her."
Bai Bufan shyly raised his hand, lightly pointed, and imdiately turned his head.
There was even a faint blush on his face.
Lin Li: "..."
Bai Bufan, why are you acting all innocent and shy, like it’s a lodrama.
The technicians couldn’t hold back their laughter when they saw this.
"Xiaojing and Feifei, stay. The others, out. Have a good ti, boss," nodded the madam.
"Have a good ti, boss!" everyone chorused their blessings and then filed out.
When the door closed, only four people remained in the room.
"My friend is a bit nervous, let’s start with a regular foot massage to relax," Lin Li said naturally with his wealth of experience and having ntally rehearsed this.
"Alright, boss."
Upon hearing this, Xiaojing and Feifei squatted down, started putting hygienic bags on the foot buckets, and began adjusting the warm water.
Lin Li pulled out his phone.
"Lin Li: I’m in position, starting the foot massage, feeling good."
"Yangliang: Taking a detour, seventeen minutes away, manage your ti."
"Lin Li: Seventeen minutes? That’s enough, gotta go, sothing urgent."
"Yangliang: ?"
"Yangliang: Wait, Lin Li, what are you doing! I didn’t an manage ti for that!"
"Lin Li: Just kidding, uncle, ssage when you’re close."
"Yangliang: Alright."
The warm water was soon adjusted, and at Xiaojing’s prompting, Lin Li placed his legs into the footbath.
The bottom of the basin wasn’t smooth, with a layer to ensure hygiene, and the sensation was novel and comfortable.
"How’s the water temperature, boss, need it higher or lower?"
"No need, it’s just right." Lin Li was already comfortably leaning back in the chair, enjoying the soothing warmth of the water.
He would enjoy for a few minutes, waiting for Yangliang to ssage him.
The nearby Bai Bufan was clearly not as at ease as Lin Li.
He seed like a student being reprimanded by a teacher, at a loss, with nowhere to put his limbs.
Whatever the technician said, he stiffly responded and then followed the instructions stiffly.
Lin Li had just closed his eyes for a few seconds when a crisp splash sounded nearby.
Bai Bufan nearly kicked over the foot basin.
"Sis, could you be gentler, I’m quite sensitive, I just got a reflex," Bai Bufan said sheepishly.
Feifei in front of him was dumbfounded, who has knees on their ankles?
