546th Street in the Federation's Second District was a mixed bag.
Those who ca to Jinxi Entertainnt City included young people seeking thrills and businessn eting for negotiations.
The vacant tea room where Shen Han sat had been ticulously decorated.
Though not spacious, it exuded a sense of serene simplicity throughout.
It was a stark contrast to the style of the dance floor and private rooms outside.
When Yan Ni and the others entered the tea room, the previously tea-scented atmosphere imdiately changed.
All six Ogas wore revealing outfits, with bare shoulders and legs peeking out from under their skirts.
To be fair, while Jinxi Entertainnt City's location was a bit remote, the looks and figures of its Ogas were quite good.
Combined with exquisite makeup and bold dress styles, they all appeared to be beauties.
"What did you want to see
about?"
Shen Han only glanced at them before looking away, asking as she poured herself so tea.
The six Ogas nudged each other subtly before Yan Ni finally stepped forward as their representative.
"Manager Shen, we also bear responsibility for angering the VIP guests in the private room tonight."
"We ca to ask if there's anything we can do to make up for our mistake."
Hearing this, Shen Han imdiately understood.
She knew perfectly well what had happened in the private room tonight, and these Ogas weren't at fault at all.
The reason they approached her, taking on a posture of wrongdoing, was probably out of fear that the aftermath of this incident would affect them.
It made sense, really. Except for a few top earners, the vast majority of Ogas working here were in very vulnerable positions.
It was understandable that they feared Wei Hai taking out his anger on them.
Shen Han took a sip of tea before speaking: "Indeed, tonight's incident isn't solely Manager Wei's responsibility."
"Each of you go write a self-criticism, reflect deeply, and co back to work the day after tomorrow. You can hand them to Mu Ze then."
When they first heard the beginning of her statent, Yan Ni and the others were quite anxious.
But after hearing the full sentence, they were all dumbfounded.
'What's going on? Is she giving us a day off?'
'How are we supposed to write a self-criticism? I didn't even finish elentary school, I can't do this!'
'Why does Manager Shen think so differently from others?'
Seeing no reaction from the six Ogas, Shen Han thought she hadn't explained clearly.
She poured out the tea leaves from her small cup and looked up to ask them: "Do I need to repeat myself?"
The six hurriedly responded: "No need, we understand."
After that, the tea room suddenly fell silent.
Yan Ni bent slightly and bowed to Shen Han: "Thank you, Manager Shen. Do you have any other instructions?"
Shen Han: "No, you can go about your business."
"Oh, and if anyone gives you trouble over tonight's incident, tell them to co find
directly."
After this small episode, Shen Han changed clothes, gave Mu Ze so instructions, and then left the entertainnt center.
She knew Wei Hai would complain to his superiors once he woke up.
The next workday probably wouldn't be peaceful, which is why she gave Yan Ni and the others a day off.
As long as she got through this hurdle, she wouldn't be treated as a re figurehead in the entertainnt center anymore.
Now, she needed to hurry back for a nap, and after waking up, she had quite a bit of preparation work to do.
Shen Han could leave work on ti, but service staff like Yan Ni couldn't.
At this mont, the six Ogas were having a quiet eting in the break room.
"After we get off work, co to my rented room. Let's write the self-criticisms together."
"Sure, sure, I was just worrying about that. I can barely write my own na. Manager Shen is really making things difficult for ."
"Psh, you should be grateful. Manager Shen even gave you a day off. How can you not appreciate her kindness at all?"
The Oga who was teased flipped her hair and leaned close to her friend, joking: "Right, right, Manager Shen is great. She's tall and has a clean aura."
Saying this, she then whispered in the other's ear with a giggle: "Earlier in the corridor, did she make your legs go weak?"
The Oga being questioned chuckled and reached out to pinch the other's waist.
The two quickly dissolved into playful laughter.
......
1 PM.
After washing up, Shen Han made a video call to Gu Junwan.
On the screen, Shen Han pouted: "Wife, I miss you so much. If I'd known I'd be staying here long-term, I should have found a way to fail the interview!"
Gu Junwan was in her office, smiling gently: "It's a bit late for regrets now, Manager Shen."
Shen Han had grown accustod to her new title over the past week.
But hearing it from Gu Junwan's lips now made her ears and heart tingle.
After so playful banter, Gu Junwan moved on to serious matters.
"The latest news from the special team is that Ren Hui, who holds the title of Deputy Director of the entertainnt center, will be coming to your location soon. He's quite level-headed and has been drawn into the power struggle between the two factions of the Zhou K Group. He's soone Zhou Nuoman is actively trying to win over."
"You can test the waters, see how he reacts. Even if he chooses to turn a blind eye, don't let your guard down. Be wary of being set up."
After a pause, Gu Junwan added solemnly: "Several undercover officers from the special team were sacrificed after falling into traps set by others."
Discussing such matters, Shen Han also sobered up.
"Junwan, I've been thinking about sothing. If I can help the special team gather enough evidence of the Zhou K Group's illegal activities, would you be able to uproot them directly?"
Gu Junwan shook her head: "For a behemoth like the Zhou financial group, even with irrefutable evidence, a direct heavy blow would hurt us almost as much as it hurts them."
"And that's assuming other major financial groups don't take advantage of the situation."
"So, we can only adopt a divide-and-conquer approach. That's why I'm cooperating with Zhou Nuoman's father."
"The vast Zhou K Group doesn't operate entirely rotten businesses. Removing the chaff and keeping the grain would be more beneficial for future developnt in various aspects."
Hearing Gu Junwan say this, Shen Han asked: "Isn't Zhou Nuoman's father also a vice chairman? Why do I feel like many people in the group don't really respect her?"
"Generally, in a struggle between two factions, the side that's more unscrupulous often occupies more resources. The new guard faction represented by Zhou Nuoman is in a state of being suppressed by their opponents. She has ambition, but her strength is far weaker than her opponents. So, we need to put the knife in her hand."
They chatted for a while longer before reluctantly ending the call.
Just as Gu Junwan was about to continue working, Xu Zhao knocked and entered.
Seeing her Empress in a good mood, she knew it must be because Shen the dog had just called.
It had been like this every day recently.
After talking with Shen Han, the Empress's state would change sowhat.
It was as if she had recharged her energy, filled with vitality.
Others might not notice, but how could Xu Zhao, who had been by the Empress's side for years, not sense it?
She thought to herself: Shen the dog better behave properly in that nightclub. If you dare make Her Majesty sad, see how I'll tattle on you and drain all your savings!
Composing herself, Xu Zhao quickly began reporting: "Your Majesty, Deputy Director Ren Hui of Jinxi Entertainnt City will be going there in three days."
"According to our information, he'll be hosting a party then. Several criminal bosses will be coming from out of town to attend. Shen Han should be on the invite list as well."
Gu Junwan gently caressed the fountain pen Shen Han had given her, pondered briefly, then began giving instructions.
"Shen Han can end her role as a lone commander now. The two undercover agents from the special team who infiltrated the entertainnt center can be more active in the next few days."
"Keep close surveillance on Vice Chairman Zhou Ming. His only daughter nearly fell victim to his rival's sche. If he truly shows no retaliation as he appears, then we'll have to change our cooperation target."
......
Shen Han wasn't punished for the incident with Wei Hai.
On the contrary, her decisive handling that saved the entertainnt center from compensating VIP guests millions earned praise from higher-ups.
Of course, the jade pendant Ning Xi and Ma Haoyu used as a prop wasn't actually valuable.
The serial number and price they pulled up online were temporarily attached using their resources.
Now, although Shen Han still only had one lackey following her, her status in the entertainnt center had changed dramatically.
Wherever she passed, the vast majority of staff would actively greet her respectfully, rather than ignoring her as before.
On this day, Shen Han again found an empty tea room to entertain herself.
Before long, seven or eight lackeys cheerfully squeezed in.
These were low-level underlings without backing, often ordered around by others.
Since they discovered that Manager Shen was capable and approachable, they liked to gather around her.
Shen Han never put on airs with those who remained polite to her.
The lackeys who ca to this room had all been investigated by the intelligence group. They had no criminal records and were the type who lacked the courage for evil but also weren't very ambitious.
The lackeys even brought their own sunflower seeds and dried fruits, eating while chatting around Shen Han.
Getting excited, one lackey looked at Shen Han curiously and asked: "Manager Shen, what did you do before? I always feel that with your aura, you should be sitting in a high-tech building, smoking cigars and overlooking the street, making lots of money with just a few keystrokes on the computer!"
Shen Han was amused by this person and replied: "I'm not as impressive as you imagine. If I had those skills, I wouldn't have co here from Central Street."
Another lackey thought he'd caught the key point and quickly asked: "Oh? Manager Shen, you used to hang around Central Street? I heard it's very expensive there, and life is tough for ordinary people trying to make it."
Just then, a few Ogas who had business with Shen Han arrived outside the tea room.
Hearing the conversation inside, they beca curious and didn't rush to enter.
They all pricked up their ears, listening to the voices coming through the door crack.
They heard Manager Shen speak calmly: "In the past, I always had Ogas transferring money to my account monthly, so I didn't really have a tough ti."
Shen Han wasn't lying. Her salary was indeed paid by Gu Junwan, and her life really had nothing to do with hardship.
But due to the difference in expression, this sentence sounded completely different to those inside and outside the room.
After a mont of silence, another lackey asked: "Manager Shen, did your sugar momm- ahem, your boss pay you a lot?"
Shen Han: "Quite a lot. I was just short of being able to buy an apartnt on Central Street."
Hearing this, the lackeys were imdiately filled with respect!
Then they heard Shen Han sigh and say: "But later I lost it all in the stock market and ended up with a pile of debt."
At this point, she changed the subject and asked the lackeys in front of her: "By the way, are there any ways to make money quickly in this entertainnt center? Do the other managers take on extra business besides their regular work?"
The lackeys exchanged glances, then gently reminded her: "The rich ladies who co here to spend money play really hard. Before, a brother wanted to make quick money and took on so special services. He ended up ruining his body."
Shen Han: "......"
Alright, say no more. I now know you guys don't know any inside information at all!
