Another hour passed. After finishing his business, Jiang Cheng sat on the bed, holding his phone and replying to messages.
Seeing Jiang Cheng leaning against the bedside, Jiang Man hesitated for a moment before sitting up as well.
"Mr. Jiang, may I ask if you are satisfied with my service?" Jiang Man mustered up the courage to ask.
Jiang Cheng hadn't expected Jiang Man to ask such a thing. He nodded naturally, "I'm quite satisfied. Don't worry, I'll give you a tip before I leave."
"That's not what I meant. I don't want a tip," Jiang Man said, hurriedly waving her hands.
"No tip? What do you mean then?"
"If you are satisfied with me, could you let me follow you? I will serve you well."
Hearing Jiang Man's words, Jiang Cheng gave her a searching look. "Why do you want to follow me?"
Mario had said earlier that those Girls were all here voluntarily.
Jiang Cheng knew there were many women in Thailand in this line of work, just like in Japan.
Wasn't it all just to make money?
Furthermore, someone like Jiang Man had likely undergone rigorous training.
Not only were her movements skilled, but she also seemed very invested and appeared to enjoy the process.
If she were truly forced into selling herself, Jiang Cheng might have felt some pity for her.
But since it was voluntary, there wasn't much to say. It was a mutual agreement, a simple financial transaction.
It was just like a 'full-service' massage. In his past life, when he went for massages, he had heard many tragic backstories from the Girls.
"If you let me stay by your side, I won't stay here anymore. I don't want to receive other guests."
Jiang Cheng shook his head. This Jiang Man was clearly trying to use him as a stepping stone.
When Jiang Cheng had made his move earlier, her expressions and physical reactions had been very intense.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng knew that even if it had been someone else today, Jiang Man would likely have asked the same thing.
The reason was simple: anyone who could afford them had significant financial power.
Following someone like that was definitely better than receiving guests here.
"I'll have someone give you five hundred thousand chinese yuan. Converted to Thai Baht, that's enough for you to do a lot of things. You can arrange the rest yourself."
Five hundred thousand chinese yuan could go a long way in Thailand. As long as she was content, it was basically enough to live without worries about food or clothing.
If she wanted more, that was beyond Jiang Cheng's concern.
After greeting Mario, Jiang Cheng left.
Just as Jiang Cheng expected, Jiang Man wasn't sad after he left. Instead, she was very happy and jogged all the way to the supervisor.
She asked excitedly, "The guest left me five hundred thousand chinese yuan?"
"Yes, you are truly lucky! Are you planning to retire?"
Hearing this, Jiang Man picked up a cigarette from the table and took a practiced puff. "How is that possible? I'm staying here. Where else can I make money faster than this?"
..."I haven't really seen Thailand yet. Take me out for a walk," Jiang Cheng said to Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng looked at Jiang Cheng, hesitated, and said, "Young Master, isn't leaving five hundred thousand chinese yuan a bit much? Thailand isn't like back home; the Girls here are quite open."
Jiang Cheng replied, "They are also struggling to survive in the cracks, earning a living under the 'rod.' It's not easy. They have to cooperate with shouts in the middle, and in the end, they're forced to foam at the mouth and swallow it down. Help them if we can."
After processing this for a few seconds, Wang Sheng couldn't help but silently give Jiang Cheng a thumbs up.
"Alright, Young Master. If you want to walk around at this hour, you can go to the local night market. There are many shops and snacks with local characteristics," Wang Sheng suggested.
"Fine, let's go then."
Jiang Cheng strolled around casually. The night market here was mostly filled with various seafood and tropical fruits.
Raw octopus, coconut shrimp... Just as Jiang Cheng was about finished and ready to head back to the hotel, he suddenly heard the sound of a Little Girl crying and throwing a tantrum.
"Mama, Mama, let go of me!" Jiang Cheng's hearing was excellent. He scanned the surroundings and quickly saw two men covering the mouth of a Girl about seven years old, preparing to drag her away.
Jiang Cheng walked over quickly and gave Wang Sheng a meaningful look.
The two of them arrived quickly and subdued the two men in just a few moves.
Seeing that Wang Sheng and Qing Zhong had guns, the men immediately raised their hands, too terrified to move.
Leaving the crowded night market for a quieter corner, Jiang Cheng asked the Little Girl, "What's your name? Why are you alone?"
"My name is Annie. Big Brother, thank you for saving me. I came with my mama. Just now... I wanted to try that raw marinated octopus. While waiting in line, there were too many people. I don't know what happened, but I got pushed and couldn't see Mama anymore."
Jiang Cheng looked at the pitiful sight of the soft and cute Little Girl in front of him, her eyes red from crying.
He picked her up in his arms.
"Do you know your mama's phone number?"
Annie nodded and recited the number to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng dialed the number, and the other party answered quickly.
"Hello, is this Annie's mother?"
..."
