Chapter 18: Chapter 018: Creating Your Own Girl Group
Liu Yumu and Zhao Xiaoya were both juniors at the nearby University of Science and Technology. Both were fairly playful, outgoing, and, as regulars in bars and karaoke venues, often sang and danced.
Although there were many nightclubs nearby, for safety and comfort, this one nebulous spot pleased them the most.
However, their ordinary backgrounds meant that a monthly living allowance of fifteen hundred yuan could not even begin to cover their expenses.
Of course, the bar also needed high-quality girls like them to attract customers and heat up the atmosphere, so there were substantial discounts for these female students.
For instance, there was no cover charge when they came to play and they were even occasionally given a small private booth with some beer and snacks on the house.
They enjoyed the free clubbing, carefree indulgence in food and drink, but they also had to give something in return, like entertaining wealthy clients who came by with drinks.
The bar emphasized they were "college students" who came "to play occasionally," meaning they were not professional escorts, a fact which provided a different pleasure for many clients!
What would be more satisfying: drinking with a seasoned escort who could hold her liquor, or with a delicate college girl?
Except for a few clients deliberately getting wasted, more people would undoubtedly choose the latter first and foremost!
With their natural good looks scoring an eighty out of a hundred, and with the help of dim lighting, meticulous makeup, and seductive outfits, the two girls quickly became popular in the bar.
Of course, they were generally only brought out for major clients, and besides, both were genuinely college students, so they wouldn\'t do anything too outrageous.
A sip and a shared drink with clients, a stealthy touch of the hand—this was all within acceptable limits, but to think they would easily acquiesce to anything more serious would hugely misunderestimate these girls, sharper than monkeys!
Today, however, was markedly different from usual.
First, Chu Mo was not just a big spender; he was a top-tier rich second generation who drove a nearly fifty million yuan luxury car and was young, completely different from those greasy, pot-bellied middle-aged men.
Furthermore, Chu Mo was unlike the men who squandered their wealth in bars; Liu Yumu, who came here often, had seen Chu Mo a dozen times or more.
Each time, Chu Mo would sit quietly in the most secluded spot, ordering just a juice, sometimes merely sitting in silence, other times busily typing on a laptop!
For students, a well-mannered and mildly handsome guy like Chu Mo was captivating, and Liu Yumu had sneakily watched him from the shadows on numerous occasions!
If it weren\'t for him ordering just a juice each time, along with a "do not disturb" vibe, Liu Yumu might have already greeted him long ago.
The two bottles of Romanee-Conti were just a pretense. Those wines combined were worth only tens of thousands of yuan, and Liu Yumu herself would only get a few thousand in commission. What can that amount of money do?
A few thousand yuan to buy Liu Yumu? That would be a joke.
The reason she approached him proactively was ultimately both the luxury car at the door and a genuine interest in Chu Mo himself.
Landing such a top-tier rich second generation would mean…!
"Chu, how about we play a game? If you lose, just a little token will do, and if Xiaoya and I lose, we each take a drink. How does that sound?"
With a seductive smile and leaning half her body on Chu Mo\'s shoulder like a cat, Liu Yumu\'s beautiful eyes watched his expressions keenly, ready to adjust her posture at any sign of Chu Mo\'s displeasure or dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Chu Mo\'s face reddened slightly but showed no signs of discontent, Liu Yumu\'s little maneuvers became even more frequent.
Honestly, the women called Xiao Mo and Xiaoya didn\'t have the bewitching beauty to catch one\'s eye at first glance, nor did they rival the Patek Philippe girl, Linda, in terms of looks; however, both were brimming with youthful vibrance.
The heat of their breath washed over him, especially with the constant fidgeting of the girl with long, straight, black hair to his right, giving Chu Mo a sense of being almost overwhelmed.
As a man, and a thoroughly genuine one at that, Chu Mo did not refuse the addictive pleasure, as the booming music and dim environment further fueled his inner desires.
With a slight gesture, the always attentive waiter immediately came over obsequiously, and enjoying what only those at the top could, Chu Mo was utterly engrossed.
"Two bottles of Romanee-Conti, please!"
"Certainly, sir, one moment please!"
As the waiter departed with all due respect, Liu Yumu\'s hands, full of surprise and joy, were already on Chu Mo\'s shoulders, her voice softer than ever:
"Thank you, Chu. By the way, I\'ve often seen you typing here before. Is that your laptop in the bag? May I see what you usually write?"
Glancing at the black bag before him and enjoying the light massage of her hands, Chu Mo said casually:
"I didn\'t bring my laptop today; the bag contains some contract documents. I just bought a house; it\'s the deed and the contract terms. Maybe another time, I can show you what I write. There\'s no secret in it!"
Early that morning, Chu Mo had been to the Tianxia Real Estate agency to handle the property transfer and only got the deed to Emperor\'s Mansion Villa Number One in the afternoon. After driving around till evening, he hadn\'t even had time to put the documents back in the community.
"Oh, I must read your great work someday!"
Flattering him, Liu Yumu didn\'t say much else, her touch growing even gentler.
The cost of housing in the megacity was no secret: tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands per square meter. For girls like Liu Yumu and Su Xiaoya, by ordinary means, they would struggle their entire lives just for a modest-sized apartment, and that too in a less desirable location. What\'s more, it might not exceed seventy square meters!
This Chu Mo just casually bought a house, costing tens of millions at least.
People can\'t be compared...
The waiter brought up two bottles of Romanee-Conti, and now there were five bottles of wine on the not so large square table.
Two bottles priced at over ten thousand, what ordinary people would consider top-tier Ace of Spades at the bar, two bottles of Romanee-Conti priced at forty thousand each, and then there was the two hundred thousand grand Lafite.
On this small square table, the wine was worth over three hundred thousand!
"Chu Mo, how about we play Finger-Guessing Game? The loser drinks?"
Seeing the girls next to him, one with big wavy hair, the other with long straight black hair, both looking excited, Chu Mo, despite being troubled by temptation, wasn\'t downhearted and nodded slightly before joining the two girls in the game.
It was Chu Mo\'s first time playing such a flirtatious game with girls. At first, when he lost, he just had a sip, but as he watched the girls down their drinks every time, he gradually got carried away and ended up drinking two full glasses!
After a while, beginning to feel light-headed, Chu Mo gestured with a slight wave of his hand that he would no longer participate.
The two girls were mainly following Chu Mo\'s lead, so when they saw him bow out of the game, they naturally stopped as well.
"Chu Mo, I want to go to the restroom to touch up my makeup. Would you like to come with me?"
With her face flushed from the alcohol, Liu Yumu looked at him with her bright and watery eyes. Chu Mo could almost see what she was suggesting would happen next.
The restroom?
Are we going that wild?
His breathing grew noticeably quicker, and just as he was about to nod in agreement, Chu Mo seemed to remember something and casually asked:
"Xiao Mo, have you ever had a boyfriend before?"
The girl with the long straight black hair, whose eyes were nearly overflowing with water, was taken aback for a moment. After opening and closing her mouth a few times, she finally just nodded silently and said softly:
"I dated someone in my freshman year, but we broke up after only two months!"
Turning his gaze to the curly-haired girl beside him, Chu Mo asked in the same manner:
"What about you?"
Seeing her nod, Chu Mo, whose inner restlessness was instantly quenched by a good amount, took a deep breath and said casually:
"I came out today just to relax a little bit, and I\'m glad to meet both of you! Enjoy yourselves, I\'ll take care of the bill today!"
The desire in his eyes visibly settled down, and as he leaned back on the sofa of the booth, Chu Mo had already decided to pay and head home.
After stretching lazily for a moment, the two girls beside him tactfully shifted away. Just as he was about to signal the waiter to get the bill, the previously silent, cold beauty across from him suddenly spoke:
"Chu Mo, do you often come to our bar? I don\'t seem to have noticed you before?"
Glancing at the not-so-simple woman opposite him, Chu Mo replied indifferently:
"I come to the bar to watch the band perform, and usually leave right after."
"Does Chu Mo really like our bar\'s band?"
Seeing Chu Mo nod, Bai Lu, who showed a hint of a smile in her cold eyes for the first time, said gently:
"Having such a distinguished young master like Chu Mo pay attention is a blessing for Xiao Shan and the others. Could you wait a moment? I\'ll have Xiao Shan and her band come over and toast to you."
This elegant and cold woman was certainly no ordinary person.
Chu Mo wasn\'t in a rush to leave anymore, and nodded gently. He watched her give a few instructions to the waiter. Once the waiter had gone backstage, Chu Mo once again felt a flicker of excitement.
The Moonlight Beauty Band was the bar\'s gem, performing once every Sunday to a packed crowd, and Chu Mo nearly always came to see the three girls perform on stage every weekend. In fact, it had been two and a half years.
Chu Mo had witnessed the three girls grow from their initial shy nervousness to their now bursting popularity.
But before, he would only order a fruit juice and appreciate them from the darkest corner of the room. Now, it seemed, he was about to have a face-to-face conversation.
These three hundred thousand were not spent in vain!
"Xiao Shan and the others have grown up under my watch, clean, pure, and also students from the Music Academy. They\'re only performing here as practice. Since Chu Mo, you like the three of them so much, have you ever thought about promoting them?"
The woman named Bai Lu spoke evenly, her bright eyes shining with an enigmatic light.
At her words, Chu Mo was momentarily taken aback. Previously, he didn\'t have the capability, so he never thought of such a thing, but now, if he wanted to, he could simply pour money into it, which didn\'t seem to be a difficult task at all.
To create a girl group of his own?
Without affecting his carefree life of luxury?
That actually sounds quite interesting!
