Chapter 4: Chapter 4 The Still of the Night
"I'll go," another waitress grabbed the keys, gave Xiang Yu a mysterious smile, and then walked ahead. Meanwhile, the other one stomped her foot in frustration without saying a word.
Working as waitresses in this hotel, they had seen many important figures, but someone as handsome, young, and wealthy as the young man ahead was rare. And these waitresses also wanted to take the opportunity to connect with such people.
"Give me the bag, kid, you don't need to go up," Xiang Yu patted the security captain's chest and then, taking the bag, followed the waitress upstairs.
"This way, sir," the waitress said with a brilliant smile, leading the way and sneaking glances at Xiang Yu from time to time. Ever since she saw the numbers on the bank card, she found Xiang Yu even more attractive, even his clothes seemed perfectly fitted.
Xiang Yu could naturally feel the burning gaze of the waitress. He couldn't help but take a few more looks, only to see the waitress wearing a dark red dress slit up to the thigh, her walk very flashy and attention-grabbing.
But Xiang Yu had no interest in such frivolous people, although he did find her buttocks appealing, he couldn't be bothered to pay much attention.
As he watched the waitress pretend to be shy with exaggerated, insincere expressions, Xiang Yu couldn't muster any interest at all.
The waitress was excessively enthusiastic, and after showing Xiang Yu into the room and checking the room's amenities, she introduced everything to him. Xiang Yu didn't want to listen, then sat on the bed, hoping she would leave quickly.
The waitress, seemingly oblivious, continued to talk nonstop. Finally, having finished, she respectfully stood by the side of Xiang Yu's bed, as if waiting for something.
"Are you done?" Xiang Yu looked up and asked.
"That's everything, if you need anything else, just call me," the waitress said bashfully, lowering her head.
"Then you can go out, I'm going to take a bath," Xiang Yu said and then started to undress.
"Okay, sir, you rest first. If you need anything at all, just let me know, we can satisfy your needs," the waitress said, her eyes shining as she looked at Xiang Yu. Seeing no expression on Xiang Yu's face, she left with a hint of disappointment. She had hoped Xiang Yu would give her a tip or ask her to stay longer, but was disappointed when he showed no such interest.
Relieved to see her go, Xiang Yu then stripped completely and stepped into the bathroom for a bath. Later, he returned to bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how long he slept, but when he woke, everything was pitch dark, and his stomach was growling. Feeling too lazy to get up, he picked up the phone and dialed the number the waitress had left.
"I'm hungry now, get me something to eat," Xiang Yu said and then hung up the phone.
Surprisingly, the service was quick, and someone knocked on the door in no time. Too lazy to get up, Xiang Yu simply pressed a button by the bed to open the door.
"Mr. Xiang, it's so dark, why didn't you turn on the light?" the waitress asked, then turned on the light.
As the light came on, the waitress looked at Xiang Yu a bit surprised, but her expression soon turned to one of excitement. Seeing her bring in the food and preparing to get up, Xiang Yu suddenly realized, from the way she looked at him, what she was thinking.
"Mr. Xiang, do you need any other services?" It was the same waitress as before, but now the tone of her voice in this context unavoidably gave rise to certain ideas.
Xiang Yu quickly covered his body with a bath towel, reevaluated the waitress from head to toe. Indeed, she had a slender figure and was a true beauty. Recalling the smooth touch from earlier, he couldn't help but think of making a move again, though the makeup on the waitress's face was a bit off-putting.
"Okay, I'll look for you later. You can go now," Xiang Yu suddenly changed his tone and then pushed the waiter away.
The waiter was startled at first, thinking she had already won Xiang Yu over. "Did I do something wrong?" the waiter asked worriedly.
"You did nothing wrong. It's just that I'm too hungry now, I'll find you later," Xiang Yu smirked, having already issued an eviction order. He had originally planned to make further moves, but the sudden smell of strong perfume almost made him throw up, immediately losing all interest.
Besides, don't be fooled by the delicate appearance of the waiter; it's all an act. For all he knew, she might have been with countless men. If she were sick, it could ruin his prime years.
The waiter was speechless after hearing this. She couldn't believe that the person in front of her could resist her charms. After all, many wealthy and high-ranking officials had fallen under her skirt, yet he remained unmoved.
Fearing that Xiang Yu might not have understood her intentions, she took a small step forward and said, "Mr. Xiang, aren't you lonely here by yourself? How about I keep you company?" Her words blatantly revealed her intentions.
"Men and women should not touch," Xiang Yu equally blatantly stated his stance, which completely differed from his demeanor moments earlier.
Seeing this, the waiter cursed inwardly, thinking that despite his handsome looks, he was just a useless wimp, then turned and left unhappily.
Xiang Yu paid her no mind and began to enjoy his meal. After eating, he revisited his plans. Three years was a tight schedule, but he must achieve his goals. And the method he decided on was to fight fire with fire.
Lying on the bed, he checked his watch; it was already midnight. Since he was well-rested, he decided to take a walk outside.
Before arriving, he had done a rough investigation of this city. The reason he started from this city was that it was the most corrupt in the province. If he could resolve issues here, the other cities would be easier to deal with.
He aimlessly walked on the street. It was now the early morning, and there were much fewer vehicles on the road. Up ahead, a group of youths, still holding their drinks, staggered toward him.
"Look, guys, a beggar ahead," one of the youths slurred.
"He doesn't look like a beggar to me. Let's go ask him," the group said and walked toward Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu saw that they were just a group of youths and didn't want to bother with them, planning to walk around them. But the youths were very interested in Xiang Yu and blocked his way.
"Are you begging, boy? Are you a beggar?" one of them pointed at Xiang Yu and asked.
"I am not a beggar," Xiang Yu replied, not wanting to deal with them.
"If you're not a beggar, why do you look like one? Since you're not a beggar, give us money. We brothers are out of cash," the youths said as they started to reach for Xiang Yu's pockets.
Xiang Yu had initially not wanted to deal with them, but seeing that the youths didn't seem like good people, he felt that if he didn't teach them a lesson, they would continue to cause harm to others.
"What are you glaring at, boy? Are your eyes big or what? I'll gouge them out for you," one of the blond youths said as he reached for Xiang Yu's eyes, not at all in a playful manner. If he had actually got his fingers in, Xiang Yu might have been blinded.
Seeing this, a wave of anger surged within Xiang Yu.
