My Nightclub Landlady

Jiang Xiaowen was not happy about this at all. It seemed to her that even being a manager in a major nightclub was a step down for the hero that saved her.

"Can I ask why you"re not in the military anymore? Why are you working in a place like this?" Jiang Xiaowen said with some sadness, "I do not look down on this industry. On the contrary, the reputation of the Free Man Bar is the best in the city. You can be proud of being a manager here. But still… you used to be a warrior, a hero. What have you been doing in the last few years? Did you quit after saving me?"

Qin Feng decided to give her a generic answer. "Oh, you"re right. I was just getting old. I didn"t have a chance to develop there anymore, so I changed careers. It"s not easy being the a.s.sistant manager of the Free Man, but I"m satisfied with this."

Jiang Xiaowen felt bad about saying anything. Although her heart was sorry for him, to each their own. There was nothing for her to do about it.

At that point, Xiao Jinhua came out of her office and joined them at the bar. "Jiang Xiaowen, you"re early, hehe. We have freshly imported fruit for night, come taste it! Tonight"s going to be great, just you wait. You girls have been working with the Free Man Bar for so long, and we"ve never had a chance to show our appreciation. Tonight we"re taking the opportunity to thank you all for your hard work."

"Sister Flower, you are too kind! We should be thanking you. We wouldn"t be here if you didn"t provide such a reputable and safe platform," Jiang Xiaowen said modestly.

"Come see what we have prepared for tonight!" Sister Flower grabbed Jiang Xiaowen"s hand and dragged her off to the dining table set up in the middle of the hall. Qin Feng quickly took the opportunity to go outside for some peace and quiet.

Leaning against the façade of the building, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "What the h.e.l.l was that? She"s hot, but a total prude. What am I supposed to do with her?"

Qin Feng wasn"t some kind of Liu Xiahui, but he had his principles. He had no qualms about enjoying a woman"s company to vent his physiological needs, as long as after putting their pants back on, everybody walked their separate ways in peace. But some women, Qin Feng would not easily get involved with. He could leave at any time, but what about them? Isn"t it immoral to toy with someone"s emotions without having any intention of going all the way?

Around six o"clock in the evening, the Free Man Bar"s part-time dancers began trickling in. About a dozen long-term part-time dancers for a time formed a delightful vista at the entrance to the building, where they stopped to chat and take the evening"s first set of group photos. A few vehicles coming down the street almost crashed because their drivers got too distracted by the view.

Qin Feng and Sister Flower got pulled in for a group photo, and Jiang Xiaowen took Qin Feng"s arm. He tried to gently wriggle out, but to no avail. Sister Flower watched this from the side with a vague sense of loss in her heart, but the atmosphere was very lively at the time and she did not think much of it. Qin Feng was so outstanding that there would inevitably be young girls chasing him. Compared with them, Sister Flower felt like a middle-aged aunt. She couldn"t help readjusting her hair and looking down at herself. Being surrounded by young girls made her feel more mature than she really was, but there was nothing to feel insecure about. Each age had its own special charm. Everyone grows old, so there is no point being overly worried about gains and losses.

However, Xiao Jinhua had some puzzling thoughts. Why was she suddenly so concerned about Qin Feng?

Because they were attending a dance party, the part-time girls, who usually wore s.e.xy clothes, were even bolder than usual, except for Jiang Xiaowen in her long bohemian dress. The others were almost all clad in chippie skirts, ultrshort hot pants, sling dresses, vests, lace blouses, semi-transparent tunics, navel dresses, and all kinds of flamboyant outfits. Those who didn"t know any better could really misunderstand the nature of the event.

Of course, Sister Flower and Qin Feng were not worried. These were normal dancing girls, just wearing their most stunning costumes. There wasn"t going to be any transgression against laws or morals. There was nothing to hide.

But suddenly, the sound of a sharp siren came from the intersection down the street, and a police car ran a red light at top speed, heading straight to the Free Man.

A few of the dancing girls screamed. Although they had little to do with what went on in the venue, some of them did sell their bodies in other places, and some were using drugs. Naturally, seeing the police caused a panic.

Some girls even wanted to turn around and run.

Sister Flower quickly stepped up to calm things down. "Hey, what"s all the fuss about? Calm down! We didn"t do anything wrong. Why so scared of the cops? For all you know, they might be here just to greet us!"

Even so, Sister Flower could guess what this was about.

As expected, it was Li Faxian, who had been insulted by Qin Feng that morning. Now he was out for revenge, and he was very good at seizing opportunities, arriving just as a crowd of suspiciously s.e.xy young women gathered at the Free Man Bar. Obviously, he had left informants to keep an eye on the place.

Qin Feng understood what Li Faxian was up to. He quickly found Sister Flower and said, "I"ll go deal with him. Get everyone inside."

"Qin Feng, what did you promise me earlier today? You"re my younger brother, you have to listen to me. If you deal with this yourself, you"ll only escalate things further. They don"t have any evidence of wrongdoing, right? It"s a not a big deal. I"ll just throw money at this until it goes away," Sister Flower spoke very fast and walked off toward Li Faxian before Qin Feng could say anything.

By then, three police cars had parked in front of the nightclub and a dozen cops got out screaming, "On your knees! Don"t make a sound! Hands on your head!!!"

They held truncheons and imperiously surrounded the door of the Free Man Bar. By making a show of force here, they could almost predict that there would be no business for the Free Man for at least a few days.

Who"d want to come there? Who would want to drink there and pick up girls with the cops watching? Even if no arrests were made, even if there was nothing at all, the mere presence of the police would send the guests off to the compet.i.tion in droves.

Qin Feng knew that Li Faxian was provoking him.

Sister Flower waltzed over to the chief of police"s side, gently putting a hand on his shoulder. "Oh, Director Li, what brings you here? What a show, you really gave us a bit of a scare!"

Li Faxian slapped Sister Flower"s hand aside and snapped, "Back the h.e.l.l off! I am here to enforce the law! What are you doing on the street with so many bad girls? Street girls? Blatant prost.i.tution? What is the meaning of this?! You have no morals and no respect for the law! I think the Free Man Bar should be shut down."
