CH 78.1

At the beginning of June, the temperature gradually increased. Almost all the people walking on the streets changed out of their spring clothes and only put on a thin jacket over their summer clothes. However, because Shen Zhen had to go to work, he still wore his usual shirt and pants but now without the suit jacket.

Probably because of the effect of working out, when Shen Zhen stood in front of the mirror, he felt that his figure was much better than before, and his six-pack abs were also back, just not very obvious.

On a rare day off, Shen Zhen also had a haircut specially done by a hairstylist named Tony. His hair was highlighted and dyed blonde. He was young, in his early twenties, thin and with a slender waist.

When Shen Zhen entered the door, the receptionist was originally supposed to ask the questions but Tony squeezed the receptionist away and asked Shen Zhen: “Is Mr. Handsome here to wash the hair or cut the hair or do both?”

Shen Zhen thought for a while: “Shampoo, and do styling as well.”

Tony washed his hair personally. After washing, he wiped his hair and asked, “What hairstyle does Mr. Handsome like?”

Shen Zhen thought about it, and didn’t have any special requirements, so he said, “You can choose.”

Tony touched Shen Zhen’s hair and said, “Mr. Handsome, your hair quality is very good, do you want to consider changing your hair color?”

Shen Zhen: “No need.”

If he changed his hair color, it would be inappropriate for him to attend some formal occasions.

Tony sighed regretfully, and could only work on his hairstyle: “I will definitely cut it very handsomely for you, the kind that stands out and dazzles people blind.”

Shen Zhen thought he was quite interesting. He nodded and smiled, “Then I will trouble you.”

Tony looked at the smile on the corner of Shen Zhen’s mouth and felt his heart beating a little faster.

When getting his hair cut, Shen Zhen closed his eyes and rested his mind. He didn’t have any requirements for the hairstyle, so long as it was clean and tidy.

Of course, it was better not to be too short.

“It’s finished, take a look.” Tony said.

Shen Zhen opened his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror.

Was this a haircut?!

This was like transforming into an entirely different person!

Shen Zhen used to have a very ordinary hairstyle, and he was always too lazy to take care of it himself. Every time he went to the barber shop, he found it troublesome and simply asked the other to cut it short. But this time, Tony gave him the most popular hairstyle that was the current trend.

The hair on both sides was flattened, leaving only short stubble, but the scalp was not visible while the hair on top was combed back.

If it was on a man in his thirties, this hairstyle would be considered mature and steady.

But when this hairstyle appeared on Shen Zhen, it gave him a proud and untamed aura, especially when Shen Zhen was expressionless.

In the past, his aura could be said to be cold and aloof, but now he looked even more arrogant and condescending.

Shen Zhen: “…..”

Tony was very excited: “I have cut hair for so many people, but you are the most suitable for this hairstyle, super handsome! So handsome that anyone who sees you won’t be able to close their legs!”

Shen Zhen glanced at Tony.

Tony didn’t know why, but subconsciously clamped his legs.

Shen Zhen couldn’t ask him to glue back the hair that had been cut, so he could only say, “Pay the bill.”

Tony led Shen Zhen to the front desk and handed over his business card after agreeing on the price: “If you come next time, remember to come to me again. I am No. 16.”

Shen Zhen asked: “Should I just say that I want to find Tony?”

Tony sighed, shook his head and said, “We have four Tonys and three Ivans here.”

“See you next time!”

Tony saw Shen Zhen out the door, still waving excitedly.

The receptionist at the front desk said, “Brother Guang Ming, don’t look anymore, he’s gone.”

Tony glared at him, and sat on the sofa next to him with a twist of his buttocks.

A colleague asked him: “He’s so handsome, did you ask for a phone number just now?”

Tony: “No, but I gave him my business card, I don’t know if he will add me.”

Colleague: “He will definitely add you. Brother Guang Ming, you are so handsome, as long as he is not a straight man…..No, he will still add you if he is a straight man.”

Tony snorted: “Little novice, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Do you want to wait until he adds me so you can poach him away?”

Though the colleague was exposed, his face did not blush and his heart remained calm: “Brother Guang Ming, each depends on his own ability. It’s not like you haven’t seen the watch on his wrist. Just the price of that watch, I may not even earn that much money in my entire life.”

Tony: “I saw it too. He is handsome, rich, and polite. I don’t know who will be the lucky one in the end. Just thinking about it makes me envious.”

Shen Zhen, who was walking on the road, kept feeling chilly around his ears. For some reason, he also felt that many people were secretly staring at him.

Although there were not a lack of people who stared at him in the past, it seemed that more people were staring at him today, and they didn’t bother to hide it either.

Several times, Shen Zhen was stopped by female students and asked for his mobile phone number and contact information. At first, he politely refused, but then after several times he quickly accelerated his pace whenever he saw someone walking towards him.

Shen Zhen couldn’t figure it out, was there such a big difference in changing the hairstyle? It was not like his facial features had changed.

Just when he was about to go to Qin Xing’s company to surprise Qin Xing, his cell phone rang at an inopportune time.

The name Liu Huan appeared on the caller ID. Shen Zhen connected the call and asked in annoyance, “What is it?”

Liu Huan’s side was very quiet: “Tonight, there is a party, will you come?”

Just as Shen Zhen wanted to refuse, Liu Huan said again: “It’s not a serious occasion, Feng Anyan will go too, he’s the host, and when he heard that I know you, he asked me to let you know by the way, and said that if you don’t go, the you don’t treat him as friend.”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

Liu Huan laughed: “Are you thinking that you indeed don’t consider him a friend?”

Shen Zhen: “Yes.”

Liu Huan got serious: “We still need to adhere to social niceties. You also have business cooperation with him, and it’s normal to contact each other occasionally, isn’t it?”

Shen Zhen refused on the surface, but indeed he still had to go: “What time?”

Liu Huan: “It starts at five o’clock, shall I come pick you up?”

It was half past four now.

Shen Zhen refused: “No, I’ll take a taxi so just send me the address.”

Liu Huan: “Okay.”

Fortunately, he didn’t tell Qin Xing that he was going to find him, otherwise it would not be good to go back on his word, even though he knew that Qin Xing would not be angry with him.

Feng Anyan’s party was scheduled to be held in a top-notch private club, in the outskirts of the city. It took more than 40 minutes by taxi, and it was already half past five when Shen Zhen arrived, even without traffic jams to worry about.

It was called a private club, but it was actually a relatively large villa with a swimming pool and entertainment facilities, and enough alcohol.

After he was welcomed in, the first thing he saw were all kinds of beauties in bikinis. He carefully identified them and found that several of them were young actors and singers, not only women, but also men.

None were ugly or average.

As for those with pot bellies and thinning hair, no need to even think about it, they were all bosses.

What party?

This was a venue for pimping, right?

Shen Zhen turned around and wanted to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Liu Huan coming over with a bottle of wine, and the two almost bumped into each other.

“I just haven’t seen you for a while, and you suddenly became so enthusiastic?” Liu Huan joked.

Shen Zhen: “I’m not very interested in this kind of gathering.”

Liu Huan smiled and said, “I’m not interested either.”

Liu Huan: “But we’re here, so let’s sit down for a while, it’s just a matter of a few minutes.”

Shen Zhen had a headache: “I’ll wait for Feng Anyan to come and say hello to him before leaving.”

“Have you changed your hairstyle?” Liu Huan seemed to have just noticed Shen Zhen’s new hairstyle.

Shen Zhen nodded.

Liu Huan: “Very handsome, very suitable for you, makes you look quite fierce.”

Shen Zhen choked speechlessly: “Do you know how to speak?”

Liu Huan said with a smile: “I’m praising you, really, you look good.”

So good it makes one feel an itch in the heart.

The original sharp and delicate features when matched with this hairstyle, now had some wildness to the flavor.

It made people involuntarily want to get close and conquer.

Shen Zhen and Liu Huan entered the villa together. He saw a bald middle-aged man put his hand on the waist of a beautiful woman in a bikini, smiling while rubbing his fingers against her skin, which made Shen Zhen turn his head away in disdain.

Probably because of all the alluring beauties, no one paid attention to the arrival of Shen Zhen and Liu Huan. There was music playing in the villa, which was so loud and lively that it could shatter people’s eardrums.

The two of them just sat down when Shen Zhen said, “Why is Feng Anyan, as the host, late to his own party.”

Liu Huan: “Probably delayed on the way.”

“CEO Liu.” A bald man with a beer belly walked in with a wine glass in his hand, and stopped in front of Liu Huan respectfully, “It’s rare to see you come out, it seems that this time I must thank Young Master Feng.”

Liu Huan also picked up a wine glass from the table, and the bald man hurriedly poured  wine for Liu Huan from the side. Liu Huan also smiled: “CEO Zhang too. I haven’t seen you for so long but you still look as vigorous as before.”

Bald man: “No, no, I have been so busy recently. Look, hasn’t my head gone bald from all the pressure?”

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Shen Zhen: “This is?”

Before anyone could speak, the bald man said again: “It’s okay, I understand, I understand, I will first make a toast.”

Drinking foreign wine with the air of drinking Chinese white wine, the bald man threw back the glass of Rémy Martin.

Liu Huan wasn’t as straightforward as him, and just took a sip.

Shen Zhen was thinking about something, and didn’t hear what they were discussing.

He just wanted to wait for them to finish drinking, say a few words, and introduce himself.

As a result, as soon as they finished drinking, the bald man left with his empty glass.

Shen Zhen who was waiting to speak: “…..”

Was he an invisible person? His presence so non-existent?

Shen Zhen sat on the sofa and looked at his mobile phone. The people Feng Anyan invited were basically from the entertainment industry. After all, he was in charge of an entertainment company. Most of these people were not from this city, they were just invited to attend the party, and few of them knew Shen Zhen, so on the contrary it saved Shen Zhen from being too busy with socializing.

Liu Huan poured Shen Zhen a glass of wine: “Don’t you want a drink?”

Shen Zhen sat up straight, picked up the glass and said, “My tolerance isn’t very strong.”

As he spoke, he just took a sip.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Feng Anyan still didn’t come. Shen Zhen couldn’t wait any longer. He said to Liu Huan, “I’m going to the restroom. If Feng Anyan still doesn’t come then I’ll be leaving.”

Liu Huan didn’t force him to stay: “Okay, I’ll tell him when he comes.”
