After Conglomerate's headquarters were sealed, the situation in China gradually became clear.
Listening to Jiang Cheng and the others talk about Conglomerate, Si Qing felt a little curious.
But she didn't interrupt—she simply listened quietly from the side.
When she finished eating and set down her chopsticks, Jiang Cheng tilted his head, looked at her with gentle eyes, and asked softly, "There's a spa downstairs that offers aromatherapy massages and beauty treatments. Want to get one done?"
As the saying goes, a full stomach makes you drowsy.
Add a professional aromatherapy massage and you'll probably fall asleep in no time.
Hearing this, Si Qing assumed Jiang Cheng was about to discuss important business—things she wasn't meant to hear.
She quickly glanced at her phone: 8 p.m. on the dot.
After a quick mental calculation of the time needed to get back to campus, she gave a small nod.
She lifted her head, her clear eyes meeting his, and asked hesitantly, "It's… safe there, right?"
Jiang Cheng chuckled. "Of course it's safe. Worried? Relax, it's a legitimate club. Not just anyone can reach the top floor. Downstairs you'll find beauty treatments, cigar tasting, hot springs, archery, bowling—even a private art exhibit. Totally legit. Go ahead, I'll have someone accompany you."
Si Qing smiled. "Great. I've never tried a beauty spa before—people say it's wonderful. I'll give it a shot."
As the Waitress led Si Qing out of the private room, the group burst into teasing.
Wang Zheng grinned at Jiang Cheng. "Bro Cheng, my acting was spot-on just now, right? Haha, perfect teamwork."
Jiang Cheng waved a hand. "Haha, solid work, not bad at all."
Then he motioned toward the door where Xu Rui was standing.
When Xu Rui stepped inside, Jiang Cheng instructed, "Book her the most expensive beauty package—full massage-and-spa deal. If she falls asleep midway, don't wake her; let her rest. Got it?"
Xu Rui answered at once, "Yes, Young Master Jiang. I'll arrange it perfectly."
Everyone instantly caught the drift, trading knowing smiles.
Qin Fen quipped, "Bro Cheng, you're a real scumbag. I almost believed you two hadn't sealed the deal—didn't see that move coming. Impressive."
Chen Hao laughed. "Haha, thanks, Bro Cheng. Picked up a new trick for my playbook."
Qi Yuan chimed in, "In the art of scheming, I declare Bro Cheng unbeatable—haha."
Jiang Cheng waved them off. "You guys are overthinking it. Unlike you, I'm just worried she's too tired. Quit the nonsense."
Qin Fen joked, "So tonight, want me to book a room for you and sis-in-law?"
Wang Congcong added, "Why even ask a question like that?"
Wang Zheng piled on, "Old Qin's drunk—he actually believes Bro Cheng isn't a seasoned scumbag."
"Exactly. Only sis-in-law would buy that line," Chen Hao teased.
Qin Fen grinned. "So, is the room for you two together, or do you take her home first and then come back? Haha."
