Special Effects Pheromone - Chap 10
Hua Yao was somewhat convinced and couldn’t figure out how to refute him. “Fine, you two are indeed a perfect match. I wish you a hundred years of happiness!”
Yu Zhao pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Hua Yao’s words and said, “Okay, I won’t bother you anymore. I have another client to meet later.”
Hua Yao just shook his head and said, “Your ALPHA father is utterly unreliable. He discriminates against OMEGAs and won’t secure your family business. Even if you get married, he won’t pass on the inheritance to you. Why are you working so hard for him?”
“I’m not doing it for him,” Yu Zhao replied indifferently.
In fact, Yu Zhao’s meeting with the client this time was unrelated to the business of “Yu Corp.” He was meeting Gao Bohua. When Yu Zhao met Gao Bohua in the United States, he intended to help Qu Jing with his business through him, and that was still his plan.
Therefore, when Yu Zhao heard that Gao Bohua had returned to China from Feng Tingwei, he immediately contacted him and arranged a dinner meeting. The location was set at a high-end restaurant nearby. Yu Zhao arrived early – he felt it was appropriate because Gao Bohua was a client.
However, Gao Bohua wasn’t pretentious either; he arrived on time. This time, he wasn’t wearing a crystal-studded shirt but a round-neck knitted sweater, striped sports pants, and a pair of bright yellow sock boots. He looked like a fashionable young man but didn’t resemble a big boss.
“Mr. Gao, please have a seat,” Yu Zhao stood up to pull a chair for him.
Gao Bohua smiled, “No, you stand and don’t move!”
Yu Zhao was momentarily surprised but stood still as told.
Gao Bohua then pulled a chair for him, saying, “It should be the ALPHA who pulls out the chair for the OMEGA.”
Yu Zhao replied, “Thank you, Mr. Gao, but I don’t need special treatment.”
“It’s okay,” Gao Bohua said, “I’m used to taking care of OMEGAs, and I’m not treating you specially.”
Yu Zhao also smiled, nodding, “Indeed a gentleman.”
Gao Bohua shrugged, “Alright, tell me, what do you want from me?”
Yu Zhao said, “You are straightforward, so I’ll be direct too. I’m here to discuss the matter of the hedging fund for Jingmen Company.”
“Oh, that,” Gao Bohua nodded, saying, “But aren’t you from Yu Corp? Why are you negotiating business for Jingmen?”
“I and Jingmen’s Mr. Qu are…” Yu Zhao’s heart wavered, and his lips emitted simple syllables, “friends.”
“Oh,” Gao Bohua nodded, “Then you are indeed a very considerate friend.”
Yu Zhao’s tongue tinged with a bit of bitterness, but he smiled on his face, saying, “Of course, there will be kickbacks as well.”
Gao Bohua laughed, clinked glasses with Yu Zhao, and said, “You speak very frankly, Mr. Yu.”
Yu Zhao also clinked glasses with Gao Bohua and had a drink. The two had a pleasant conversation and agreed to meet again with Qu Jing next time to discuss business matters. Yu Zhao felt confident and somewhat happy in his heart. After bidding farewell to Gao Bohua, he didn’t want to go home immediately and went to Hua Yao’s residence first.
Seeing him coming with the smell of alcohol, Hua Yao pinched his nose and said, “Must you drink to do business?”
Yu Zhao took a bath at Hua Yao’s place, washing away the alcohol smell from his body. After the shower, he changed into clean clothes and sat down in the living room. Hua Yao was playing games in the living room. Seeing Yu Zhao coming out, he glanced at him and said, “How did it go?”
“It went well,” Yu Zhao said, “This is a deal worth billions. If successful, it’ll be a big one.”
Hua Yaolaughed, “But that has nothing to do with you.”
Yu Zhao… couldn’t come up with words to refute. Indeed, what does it have to do with him, helping his father negotiate business, which now doesn’t involve him, let alone helping an undisclosed person?
Yu Zhao picked up the message from Qu Jing again: “Riverside Hotel, Room A788.”
He felt a bit distressed and said, “If I go to Riverside A788, will I be reduced to a ‘Cannon fodder’?”
“It depends on how eager you are. Cannon fodders can also rise to the top,” Hua Yao analyzed simply. “Moreover, you two are so compatible; there’s still a chance of success. Many times, ALPHAs are impulsive animals. If you provoke their beastly nature and even mark you impulsively, wouldn’t that be a step towards regularization?”
In this area, Hua Yao was also an expert, and what he said made sense to Yu Zhao. So, he asked, “What do you suggest I do?”
“Go for it!” Hua Yao said heroically. “Go all out!”
Hua Yao thought for a moment, put aside the gaming console, and said, “I’ll recommend you a set of clothes you’ll need!”
Saying that, he took out a brand-new set of lingerie from the bedroom. “I haven’t used this yet. I’ll give it to you first. I hope it helps you unleash your potential.”
Listening to Hua Yao’s extravagant words, Yu Zhao felt curious and opened the package, staring at the lingerie with a furrowed brow. “Isn’t this thing torn?”
Hua Yao clicked his tongue, “That’s the design, don’t you understand?”
“Why is there a protrusion in the buttocks area?” Yu Zhao questioned this design that went against human ergonomics.
Hua Yao said, “That’s called romance!”
Yu Zhao countered, “I think it violates human ergonomics.”
Hua Yao, with no good temper, said, “It’s precisely because you are so rigid that ALPHAs won’t find you irresistible!”
This statement hit Yu Zhao’s sore spot.
You Zhao accepted this set of lingerie.
However, on the next day, after Yu Zhao tried it on, he found the comfort level of this set of “clothes” extremely low, and he began to regret it. He messaged Hua Yao, asking, “Do you think this outfit is really wearable?”
“It’s fine, just endure it. You’ll take it off soon anyway,” Hua Yao reassured him.
Yu Zhao could only follow orders, wearing a suit outside and the weird underwear inside, driving to Riverside Hotel. Although he was sitting on a comfortable and soft chair along the way, he still felt discomfort in the edge of his ass. “Is this supposed to be romantic or a torture device?”
After much difficulty, he finally arrived at Riverside Hotel – it was a members-only place. So, when he entered, the hotel manager smiled and asked, “Have you made a reservation?”
Yu Zhao said, “Yes, Qu Jing, A788.”
“Okay, please follow me,” the hotel manager led him in.
Yu Zhao followed behind the hotel manager, complaining in his heart about the troublesome underwear. He was thinking that once he got into the room, he would immediately take it off. But he didn’t expect – A788 was not a room number; it was a private room.
In A788, Qu Jing was sitting with two elders, a man and a woman, all smiling as they looked at Yu Zhao entering. When Yu Zhao entered, Qu Jing stood up and introduced, “Mom, Dad, this is the person I mentioned to you, Yu Zhao.”
Yu Zhao was stunned, his face expressionless, unable to speak. However, his phone rang.
“Sorry, it might be a message from a client… I need to check,” Yu Zhao awkwardly coughed twice and picked up his phone, seeing a message from Hua Yao: “How is it going? Has it started? Is it exciting?”
