Chapter 20: Sponsorship!
1776 Words
Entering the restaurant, Jack was greeted with the laughter of women. These women, all around or above thirty, dripped with jewelry; the glint of precious metals and stones against their throats and wrists betraying their wealth. It was evident they fit the stereotype of rich cougars known for keeping younger men.
Jack was taken aback.
Were these women considering him as someone to provide for?
No, it was absolutely out of the question.
He would rather die than compromise his morals.
"This young man is quite handsome!"
"Soft and tender skin!"
"Diana, did you find him for us to keep? Oh Diana, your taste is as excellent as ever."
The world of the affluent seemed to have its peculiar tastes.
Keep him?
"Diana has found a gem, she won't share with you. Look at the young man, blushing like an apple; such a catch isn’t easily found. How could she pass him to us? She must have devoured him already. Who could withstand such flirtations? Ha-ha!"
The women burst into laughter with each teasing comment.
Jack's face turned red with embarrassment and he felt somewhat bemused.
"Go on, get out of here!"
With a flick of her wrist, Diana interjected, "Keep talking, and I won't allow you to keep this handsome man!"
"Oh, listen to you. Young man, come sit in my arms!"
"Let me touch that cheek!"
"Come here, dear!"
"Let me give you a kiss!"
"Although I'm not as young as Diana, I still have my charms! And, as for skills, Diana is no match for me."
Jack felt like he was being openly flirted with.
No, it was outright harassment.
This—
He may enjoy sneaking looks at beautiful women, but he truly is a respectable man, never one to flirt with women. Even a master flirter, faced with these women's bantering, might likely be soundly defeated. Yet, somehow, the words of these women were tempting.
Jack glanced at the woman who wanted him to sit in her lap. Well—
Sexy.
Although she was older than his usual preference for mature ladies, there was still something appealing there.
"Alright, stop eyeing our Jack!" Diana laughed lightly.
Jack, naive as he may be, knew that she was trying to divert attention from him. However—
Didn't he just come here to have a drink? How did it wind up like this?
The restaurant was bathed in red light.
And the establishment was eerily quiet except for Diana's group, seemingly her personal entourage.
It appeared like a paradise for women; the cooking, pouring of wine, the bartending—all done by women.
Could it be—
These women were lesbians?
No, that couldn't be right.
If they were lesbians, why would they want to keep a man like him?
"Don't underestimate him," Diana spoke.
"How so?"
"He has abundant skills in bed?"
"Diana, did he satisfy you, you siren?"
"How long can he last?"
"Can’t you tell, handsome? You look tender but experienced in action," a woman joked with a naughty smile.
“……”
Jack was thoroughly unsettled by their explicit conversation.
He felt as if they were a group of female hooligans.
"Ah, can he give you several orgasms?" Diana looked at the women playfully, "This little guy totally wore me out the other day. My back hasn't straightened out yet, day and night, you know. These young men, they want it every day."
"-------"
Jack felt a shiver run down his spine.
He—
When had he ever touched this woman?
"Wow, look at that siren's seductive posture!"
"Must be nice!"
"How many orgasms can you have? Let me have a turn with this handsome young man today."
"Alright, let's get down to business!" After a laugh, Diana's expression changed, "He's Lucy's bodyguard! And a close one at that."
"Lucy?"
"The so-called emotionless machine queen?"
"No way, Lucy's quite strict about hiring bodyguards. Her old bodyguard from her childhood is too old to protect her now, but how could she let a soft-skinned pretty boy be her bodyguard? And this young man doesn't look like someone who's highly trained at all!"
"Who says someone who looks tender can't fight? What if he can?"
Diana smoothed her black hair, her bosom plump and inviting, drawing one's gaze involuntarily.
Jack stole a glance.
He looked away.
After a moment, he couldn't help but steal another glance.
"So you're saying, this young brother is a master?"
"No way!"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive!" Diana faced the women.
The women immediately became anxious, an anxiousness mixed with excitement, as if they had discovered a treasure in Jack.
"No way, Diana, you better not compete with me this time. I'll take care of this handsome young man, starting at thirty-thousand a month. A handsome young man who can fight, how exhilarating. Plus, if he's physically fit, he can last a long time. None of you compete with me, thirty-thousand a month, I’ve claimed him! Handsome, follow me, I'll make sure you're well fed and happy!"
"Betty, aren't you being a little stingy? Handsome, come with me, fifty-thousand a month, and I'll raise the price if you serve well!"
They had never had the opportunity to take care of someone so intriguing.
Soft-skinned, yet also Lucy’s bodyguard.
Just the title of Lucy's personal bodyguard was enough to prove how capable this handsome young man was.
Jack didn't say anything.
He felt—
He felt these women were too rowdy.
"The young man is blushing again!"
"Could he still be a virgin?"
"Virgin?
"If he's a virgin, I'll add another ten thousand!"
"Alright, I offer sixty-thousand a month!"
"This is simply a treasure, none of you compete with me, handsome, come with me!"
"No way!"
Jack shook his head. He would never let others support him. If his master knew that he had been so cowardly as to be supported by a group of women, he would have his muscles pulled out. Unfortunately, he could not fight back against the old man because if you fight back, the old man will suppress you by saying he is your master.
As the saying goes, 'Teacher for a day, father for a lifetime.'
"No, he's still a virgin!" Diana giggled, but the next moment, she waved her little hand, saying, "But I don't have time for you to support him. If you could really support him, would I let you? Such a fine young man, young and capable, with soft skin and a blush, might be a good bed warmer, and occasionally say, 'Sister, I want...' Where can you find such a thing?"
"Enough, stop talking!"
"Xiaoqing, get the strongest Maotai, I'm going to get this boy drunk today, and get things done directly!" Jack stepped back, his face wary. He heard that this woman wanted to take him directly. How could he not be on guard?
"Is this handsome guy really worried?"
"Haha..."
These women all laughed and trembled, including Diana.
"Have a few drinks with us!" Diana laughed.
"Can I not drink?" Jack asked tentatively.
Diana replied, "If you don't drink, I won't help you buy jewelry!"
"Alright!" Jack felt helpless.
The next moment, he picked up the red wine on the table and downed it in one gulp. Gulp. One gulp down.
Jack's face was slightly flushed, and he suddenly felt dizzy, but he could still hold on. His alcohol tolerance was very poor.
"Keep drinking!" Several women egged him on.
Jack shook his head.
He was a little drunk.
Thank goodness it was red wine. If it were white wine, he would have passed out after one drink.
Diana looked at Jack in surprise.
Did this man have such a poor tolerance?
It was completely inconsistent with his strength.
"Alright, I still have things to do with this handsome guy!"
"I'll help you buy jewelry!" Diana slammed the table and announced.
With that said, she walked in front leading the way, clicking her high heels.
A woman's most memorable feature is her departing figure.
"Oh, Diana couldn't resist the charm of this handsome guy and decided to take him now!"
"Diana, how much did you spend to keep him? This month I'll let you have him, next month he's mine."
Jack took a deep breath and followed closely.
Jack and Diana together entered the Green Stone Jewelry Building.
As soon as he entered, Jack's eyes lit up.
It was like a gold mine, filled with shiny treasures.
Even the lights seemed gold.
Necklaces, rings, and diamonds placed in different positions dazzled the eyes, this must be a paradise for women, because no woman would want to leave once they came here.
"Manager Ying!"
"Manager Ying!"
The welcoming girls, dressed in qipao, immediately bent over and respectfully greeted Diana upon seeing her.
"Mhm," Diana nodded. Wearing a tight dress and tossing her black hair back, she walked with an air of extraordinary presence.
Jack, however, was startled.
"You, you're the owner here?" he blurted out.
The welcoming women addressed Diana as Manager Ying, and piecing together what Diana had said earlier, even Jack, as clueless as he might be, figured it out.
"What did you think? Otherwise, would I say I'll help you?" Diana licked her lips and said. "How about it? Sister has money to burn. Are you interested in being my secret technique for a day or two? Isn't there a saying, something about secret techniques at work, and when there's nothing to do..."
"-------"
Jack decided not to talk anymore.
…
"Little brother, are you sure you want to buy jewelry for your sister?"
"Yeah!" Jack nodded.
Diana chuckled and said, "Then follow me. There's a lot of nuances to buying jewelry, depending on whether it's for a girlfriend or a relative! But... maybe relatives can turn into girlfriends, right? There's a saying, 'Don't let the water flow into someone else's field.' You should make your move on your sister while you have the chance, hahaha..."
With that, Diana burst into laughter again.
"……"
Why does this woman talk like a hooligan?
While speaking, Diana led Jack to the third floor.
"Manager Ying!"
"Boss!"
"Lead the way to the front!" Diana requested.
…
The two came to a jewelry counter isolated by glass.
Diana pointed her delicate finger at one of the necklaces, a somewhat provocative gesture, her red lips parted slightly as she blinked and asked, "The 'Eight Stars in a Row' necklace, selling price three hundred thousand, do you want it?"
Temptation—
Blatant temptation.
Jack stared at the necklace's tag, which boasted a string of zeros, one, two, three, four, five of them!
Gulp.
He swallowed hard.
"I do!" Jack promptly nodded.
