Quick Transmigration: I'm Almost Dead Volume 1 Chapter 2

As soon as he entered, Chen You was. .h.i.t full on with a thick sense of elegance. He looked around strangely, if it were not for the original owner's memory, from this sight alone, he thought it was a place for literati to recite poems.

Chen You composed himself and pressed the elevator to hurry to his destination - the fourth floor.

Each floor of Gold had different ways of playing. The higher you went up, the more distinguished the status of those who came to play, and the conditions of those being played were getting better and better.

As for the top floor, it was used by the boss to entertain distinguished guests. Those who could get in there, if not Gold's number one, was surely to become the next number one.

The original owner first served on the third floor, then when his business improved, the manager b.u.mped him up a floor. Afterwards his business was poor so he was kicked back.

However, the original owner's fellow townsman was still on the fourth floor. Each person has their unique skills, there's nothing to be envious about.

Coincidentally, Chen You saw a man coming out of a private room from some distance away. His leather pants wrapped around his b.u.t.t, and he twisted his hips in every step, very s.l.u.tty.

"Little Hong."

Hearing the shout from his back, Xia Hong's face immediately turned green and red immediately. He rushed forward without looking back.

Chen You raised his eyebrows, "Hey, aren't you quite well off? Can you lend me some money?"

Xia Hong's figure stopped, he turned around and stared at Chen You incredulously.

"You want to borrow money from me?"

Chen You walked towards him, "Yes ah."

Xia Hong was startled. He hated Zhou Yi and disliked the fact that even though he (ZY) was not a young master but still behaved like one and looked down on his kind.

Unexpectedly now he was asking to borrow money from him, how strange.

"How much do you want?"
　
Chen You quoted 10,000. Who knows where the mission target is and how long he has to stay in this world.

Xia Hong frowned. "So much?" He asked doubtfully, "You aren't looking to contract a pretty boy right?"

Chen You's mouth twitched.

Xia Hong thought he had a guilty conscience. He snorted and ridiculed him, "No money still want to fool around, don't you have a lot of energy? Why don't you just be self-sufficient."

Chen You held a cigarette with his mouth, lighted it and took a drag, "Let me borrow your 10,000 and I'll give you 12,000 back later."

Xia Hong was just about to speak when a man dressed like a manager came over, raising up an orchid finger* and saying, "Lulu, you are so naughty, how did you get here?"
*joined thumb and middle finger, the rest extended.

Chen You choked then coughed, "Lulu?"

Xia Hong glared at him in anger and embarra.s.sment and gnashed his teeth, "Are you nuts? What's the fuss? At least Lulu sounds better than your Xiang Xiang*!"
*fragrant/savory.

Xiang Xiang? WTF! Chen You's body swayed and the back of his head knocked the wall.

The original owner's memory was chaotic so he didn't dig up everything. He didn't know there was such a thing, he nearly sprayed blood just now.

Chen You wiped away the tears that came out of the cough and didn't listen carefully to Xia Hong's conversation with this man called Brother Qiang, looks like some big shot had just arrived.

Gold sent people inside tier upon tier but so far, no one had been kept behind. Xia Hong was a minor celebrity on the fourth floor and was qualified to try.

Chen You swept his eyes over Xia Hong, the other's small moist face was flushed with excitement.

He flicked the cigarette ash, lost in thought. Is it possible that the big shot at the top is the mission target?

It's no use thinking here all day, Chen You decided he must go and see.

If he's not, then it doesn't matter. At worst, he would be thrown out like everyone else.

If yes, then the progress of his task will have a breakthrough.

Chen You went over. Xia Hong already gripped Guo Qiang's hands, his eyes moist, lips trembling, as if speaking to a benefactor, "Brother Qiang, you're so good to me..."

"Fighting." Guo Qiang patted his b.u.t.t, "You have to work hard, if you're successful, after tonight, you'll be the number one."

Xia Hong continuously nodded, "Yes yes yes!"

Suddenly there was a voice, "Brother Qiang, can I also go?"

Only then did Guo Qiang see someone beside him. He snorted with disgust, "You?"

Chen You pinched off the cigarette behind his back. "Yes, me."

"The young master likes a small body like Lulu, with thin waist that seems to break in one fold, and fall as soon as the wind blows." Guo Qiang glanced at him lazily. "Why don't you look at yourself, which part do you fit?"

Chen You said, "I'm thin to almost skin and bones."

Xia Hong said from the side, "You have a big skeleton."

"..."

Chen You turned to Guo Qiang and said in an absolutely sincere tone, "Brother Qiang, I have to pay the rent tomorrow. I'm nearing 30 years old, for all these years I've worked for Gold, can you give me a chance?"

Not only Xia Hong, but even Guo Qiang was surprised. In the past, he (ZY) always gave the cold shoulder to everyone he saw. Today, he was so humble, looks like he was really going to sleep on the street.
　
Guo Qiang finally looked at Chen You with eyes of evaluating the goods. The more he looked, the more he shook his head. His words were straightforward and harsh, "Every single one that can go up there is so tender you can pinch water out. You're dry like an old tree bark."

Chen You smiled, "More chewy."

The muscles on Guo Qiang's face trembled, "I'm afraid they'll see you and have toothache."

"Let me give it a go, if it doesn't work I'll quickly come out."

Chen You pulled Xia Hong and carried him aside like a chick, while saying some good words, "Brother Qiang, please help me once. I'll remember this favour. If there's a need for me in the future, I won't s.h.i.+rk from it."

Guo Qiang touched his chin, clearly shaken.

The most expensive thing in the world is a favour.

There was no news of anyone being fancied yet, it meant that everyone still has a chance.

It's not impossible to let him follow Xia Hong's batch to enter, only...

"With your sickly ghost appearance, you'll frighten the VIPs. When the blame comes down from the top, I can't afford to bear it." Guo Qiang waved his hand, "No, no, you'd better roll back to the third floor."

Guo Qiang was about to leave after finished speaking when Chen You's eyes flashed and he suddenly exclaimed, "It's strange!"

Guo Qiang was very concerned about his appearance, "What?"

Chen You asked curiously, "Brother Qiang, what have you been eating recently, how has your skin become so good?"

Guo Qiang touched his face when he heard it, "Really?"

He looked happy and smug, "Oh let me tell you, my new facial mask is especially good. After using it, I felt eighteen years old, my face becomes very moist and smooth."

"I think it's because Brother Qiang has good foundation." Chen You bent and leaned closer, "What perfume does Brother Qiang use? It's really fragrant, the smell is really out of the ordinary."

Guo Qiang started laughing. Who was he? At the bottom floor he crawled and rolled countless of times before he rose up. How could he not know these tricks? But listening to the praises still felt good.

Guo Qiang poked Chen You in the chest with his index finger and did a twirl, "Your mouth is getting sweeter."

Chen You grasped the wall silently, chanting in his mind 'I'm numb, I'm already dead'.

He grinned and said, "Isn't it because of Brother Qiang's good leaders.h.i.+p."

Guo Qiang changed his stance, "If you were as clever as you are now, how could you muddle along so badly."

Chen You only smiled.

"All right then," Quo Qiang patted his shoulder. "Tidy yourself up and a.s.semble at the top floor with Lulu."

"Thank you, Brother Qiang."

After sending off Guo Qiang, Chen You dropped his smiling face, turned around and found Xia Hong staring at him like he saw a ghost, expression horrified, like he didn't know him anymore.
