Chapter 56: Cry, Throw A Tantrum, Hang Myself
“Master, please forgive me,” the procuress said with a forced smile, “It’s not that I’m not giving you face, it’s that I really don’t dare to make this decision.”
“The news of the delay in debuting has already been released, many old customers are waiting, if I handle things like this, I won’t be able to explain.”
Before she could finish, Cao Weida waved his hand to interrupt, smiling slyly: “So, procuress, your meaning is that you disagree?”
The procuress gave a dry laugh, not knowing how to respond for a moment, agreeing was bad, disagreeing was also bad, it really made her anxious.
She couldn’t help cursing inwardly, why did things have to coincide like this, why did they choose today to debut!
Damn it, who the hell picked such a good day!!
I’ll fire him later!!
“Master, please don’t make things hard for a weak woman like me, I can’t make decisions on such matters, right?”
“Like this, consider it as giving me some face, sister will immediately arrange two of the best at serving people, you come next time, sister will entertain you properly, guaranteed to make you comfortable, how about it?”
Cao Weida narrowed his eyes, shook his arms comfortably, feeling the cotton-like tactile sensation, and chuckled:
“Alright, since you’ve given so much face, if I still disagree, I’d be too unreasonable.”
Taking the top courtesan’s first night wasn’t his main purpose here anyway, Cao Weida took the opportunity to back down, sighed, and said in a tone full of regret:
“Looks like I can’t pick the tender bud today, fine, since the new top courtesan can’t do the first night, then call the current top courtesan to accompany, rest assured, I’ll pay you every cent, Master isn’t short on this money.”
The procuress’s face stiffened for a moment, Cao Weida’s smile slowly faded, and he said in a voice that sounded flat but was unusually cold:
“What’s wrong, is there some difficulty?”
“Or are you toying with me, playing with me?”
“Oh my, Master, how would I dare!” The procuress hurriedly protested, although her backing was strong, she didn’t dare offend people easily, especially those who looked like big shots, and explained with a troubled face:
“Master, it’s not that I’m not helping you arrange, mainly our Yingchun has been booked by someone these past two days, she’s serving right now, we can’t just drag the person out by force, right?”
“Like this, I’ll find Feng Lan for you, let me tell you, although Feng Lan isn’t a top courtesan, she’s favored by various big shots, not much worse than Yingchun.”
“Stop, I say procuress, do you think I’m too easy to talk to, giving you some wrong illusion?” The smile on Cao Weida’s face had completely disappeared, replaced by a cold stern face,
In reality, he was laughing inwardly.
He hadn’t come for the so-called top courtesan anyway, that was just an excuse,
“Today Master came to your Xiaguang Garden, straight for Xinghong, now I haven’t seen Xinghong, and I’ve already given you face by settling for second best, yet you’re negotiating terms with me here.”
“Remember, once is fine, twice is okay, but not three times!”
“What’s this, do you think I look stupid, or does my forehead say ‘easy to bully’ , making you brush me off repeatedly?!”
The procuress felt extremely bitter inside, truly having bitterness she couldn’t voice.
Who did she provoke, why so coincidental?!
The key was she was in the wrong, she wanted to let people freeload but they wouldn’t, what more could she say?
“Master, I’m really not deceiving you, we Xiaguang Garden open for business, we can’t refuse money, but girl Yingchun really has been booked, we can’t take double payment from one person, girl Yingchun can’t handle it either.”
Cao Weida naturally knew the other party wasn’t lying, it matched his guess perfectly.
A traitor, suddenly turning traitor, naturally had to enjoy something good, if he was really hiding in Xiaguang Garden, then Xinghong and Yingchun would inevitably be the top choices.
Now it seems Xinghong is impossible, and Yingchun happens to be booked these two days.
There aren’t that many coincidences in the world, anyway Cao Weida didn’t believe it, so many suspicions together, and still a coincidence.
The one on the third floor, even if not Zhu Tianxi, must inevitably be a despised traitor!
Having gotten the clue he wanted, Cao Weida lost interest in continuing to find fault, and waved his hand impatiently:
“Enough, no more excuses, just tell me when Xinghong will debut.”
“This…” The procuress forced a smile, “Master, this depends on when the Imperial Army lifts the curfew, probably just these few days, rest assured, once there’s news, I’ll notify Master Lian first thing, alright?”
“Damn it so unlucky!” Cao Weida cursed, “We’ll talk later, you Xiaguang Garden really know how to do business!”
The procuress dry laughed, not knowing what to say, could only keep apologizing.
Just as Cao Weida was about to leave, he heard faint crying and shouting from upstairs, the sound came from the second floor.
Cao Weida paused, glanced at the second floor, and saw a bare-chested, full-faced burly man cursing as he came down.
“Lu sis…”
The procuress’s face looked a bit ugly, already upset from the earlier matter, now another issue, her mood was even worse,
“What’s going on, crying and making a scene, if you disturb the guests, see how I deal with you!”
The burly man wiped his mouth, cursing: “Lu sis, it’s not that little woman Xinghong, these two days she’s been crying, making a scene, even threatening suicide, insisting that when we signed the contract back then, it wasn’t for selling her body.”
“She’s making a scene again now, I had the brothers pin her down and tie her up, I figure since the debut is delayed, how about starving her for two days to grind her temper?”
The procuress’s face turned cold, couldn’t help snorting coldly.
To sit in the procuress position, being versatile is a must, but having means is also necessary.
Running places of pleasure, inevitably dealing with stubborn girls, she had plenty of experience handling them.
Not compliant?
First coax, commonly known as PUA, some naive girls fall for it.
If coaxing doesn’t work, intimidate, some girls may not fall for PUA, but the timid ones get scared.
If intimidation fails, beat!
Directly use violence, through beating, binding and other violent means to force submission, breaking through mental and physical defenses, making her dare not resist.
Still not compliant, then threaten with family members, force her to yield.
If still not, starve her, slowly wear down her willpower.
If she still resists to the death, the procuress has a last resort, directly not selling the first night, directly find a man to rape her!
Once a woman’s chastity is gone, most cases she just gives up entirely.
Of course, the last move isn’t used unless absolutely necessary, after all, running places of pleasure is about making money.
And the most profitable time is precisely the first time.
However, she couldn’t worry about that dead girl Xinghong now, there were still guests beside.
“Master”
“The one just crying and making a scene was the Qing Guan Ren top courtesan Xinghong?” Cao Weida smiled without smiling at the procuress,
“I just heard, Xinghong doesn’t seem willing to debut, are you forcing good into prostitution?”
Although the dark side, forcing good into prostitution never stops despite bans, but such things can’t be said openly.
The procuress’s face was embarrassed, the burly man instantly changed color, his fleshy face twitching, pointing at Cao Weida’s nose and cursing: “Damn it, who the hell are you, a stinking foot patrol, is this your place to speak!”
The procuress was stunned at that moment, wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
She sneaked a glance at Cao Weida, but saw he wasn’t angry at all, instead smiling even more happily, making her heart jolt in shock.
If Cao Weida had raged on the spot, she could handle it, but with Cao Weida smiling, she knew it was bad, this was a sign of making an enemy!
She rushed up and slapped the burly man across the face, glared at the stunned burly man with killing intent, then quickly switched to a fawning smile, apologizing to Cao Weida:
“Master, really sorry, the people under me are ignorant, all brawn no brains, speak without thinking, please don’t take it to heart.”
“No no no, I don’t think so, Xiaguang Garden truly lives up to being the top brothel, such bold temperament.” Cao Weida clapped his hands, smiling slyly, but looking chillingly cold no matter what, stopped Little Ear who wanted to rush up and kill the burly man, and said in a calm tone: “Precisely because simple-minded, it better shows Xiaguang Garden’s attitude.”
“He’s right, I’m just a stinking foot patrol, insignificant little person, how can I accept Lu sis your apology.”
“I’ll withdraw first today, you wait, I’ll properly ‘thank’ Xiaguang Garden for the reminder.”
“Little Ear, let’s go.”
“Don’t, Master, talk it out nicely, talk it out nicely…” The procuress hurriedly tried to keep him, if Cao Weida really left, wouldn’t that create an enemy of unknown background?
With Cao Weida’s money-not-an-issue look, his backing couldn’t be too bad!
She hated the burly man to death inside, wished she could turn back and slap him dozens or hundreds of times!
Damn it no eyesight, Mother was accompanying right beside, and you dare insult to my face?! How many heads do you have!
If not for his loyal and devoted, daring to fight attitude, she’d really want to stab him dead!!
“What’s left to say? Your brother said it very clearly.” Cao Weida was truly angry inside, when he first came he was nothing, though people poked his backbone behind his back, no one insulted him to his face.
Now, with Little Ear and a bunch of brothers under him, and little devils like Ono Shiota backing him above, yet insulted to his face pointing at his nose. Truly living worse and worse.
Think I Cao Weida have no temper?!
Think having East Asia Academic Research Association backing means I won’t touch you?
If he could swallow this anger, others would really think he’s a soft persimmon!!
“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, giving you time to find your backer, see if he can protect your Xiaguang Garden! Let’s go!”
Saying that, he impatiently pushed aside the procuress, lifted his leg and walked out, giving absolutely no face.
