Chapter 105: Listen to My Explanation
"What are you trying to do? Don't come any closer!" Seeing that look in their eyes as if they were going to devour her, Zhang Menglong didn't feel seduced at all, instead, a hint of panic set in.
"President Zhang, actually, our demands are not high, we just want two roles with some decent screen time," Half Moon Forest already started to undo her skirt.
"President Zhang, being young and wealthy, even if we sisters aren't fortunate enough, we hope to become friends with you in the future, to mingle more often, and we hope to have that honor."
"Talk about it later?" Zhang Menglong heard this ambiguous phrase but looking into their eyes, it had clearly strayed from its original meaning.
"This is forcing me to commit a crime!" Zhang Menglong had never encountered such a situation before, this wasn't the circle of internet celebrities, this was practically a brothel!
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when deeply practicing prajna-paramita, perceives that all five aggregates are empty and is saved from all suffering and distress, Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form, form is emptiness, and emptiness is form, feeling, thought, and choice, consciousness itself, is also like this..."
Out of sight, out of mind, Zhang Menglong simply closed his eyes and started to chant.
The two girls, who had already stripped halfway, glanced at each other, starting to doubt their own charm for the first time. Normally, such tactics were foolproof; just a little trickery and those photographers and trust-fund kids would be utterly enchanted by them.
Zhang Menglong, truly an oddity!
As a trust-fund kid who couldn't even compare with Wang Ling, shouldn't he have grown up surrounded by women? It would not have been surprising if someone like him had experiences at the age of eleven or twelve, right?
But looking at Zhang Menglong's behavior, it was definitely that of a person who had stayed solo for 20 years straight from birth. Could there really be such a modest and self-disciplined trust-fund kid in the world? That's not scientific!
"Wang Ling, this guy is totally unreliable, knowing that something like this might happen, he didn't even stick around to arrange a few bodyguards for me!" Zhang Menglong vented his frustration on Wang Ling.
Never mind guarding against women, but for safety's sake, shouldn't he have arranged a few people for him?
"No way, Wang Ling is unreliable, from now on, I'll have to ask Hong Yi to arrange some security guards for me!" Before, Zhang Menglong didn't need bodyguards because not many knew him, but now that he's become the cream of the crop among the rich second generation, considering his safety a little bit is definitely necessary.
After all, Zhang Menglong did not wish to perish young over a few dollars.
"President Zhang, if you're not willing to cooperate with us, it's going to be bad if someone finds out later!" Seeing Zhang Menglong remaining nonchalant, the two girls' attitudes also began to shift subtly.
"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Menglong's tone suddenly became a bit colder.
Not only is he being begged to sleep with them, but if he refuses, he still faces threats? What kind of world is this?
"How could we dare to threaten President Zhang," Half Moon Forest said with a tea-like airiness, "We're just afraid others might see and get the wrong idea, which could negatively impact your reputation. After all, you're wealthy and powerful—if you really wanted to do something to us, we wouldn't have the means to resist."
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The knocking sounded again, and Zhang Menglong leaped up from the sofa like a startled bird, "This is effing great, there isn't another one, is there?"
Peering through the peephole, Zhang Menglong took a brief look outside, and sure enough, another woman was there, extravagantly dressed to kill; with that face shape, it was another cookie-cutter internet celebrity.
"This is almost like they're lining up with love tickets," Zhang Menglong was utterly unconcerned about the threats from the two women, even if people knew, so what? If he, Zhang Menglong, wished for it, even a European royal princess would gladly bathe and lie in his bed, let alone two internet celebrities; he really didn't need such low tactics.
Even if it hit the trending searches, it was unlikely anyone would believe such groundless claims.
Clearly, showing up in an investor's room late at night, the intent was obvious to anyone with a brain, and people weren't fools; at most, they would just watch the drama unfold and talk some trash.
"Click!" Zhang Menglong world opened the door.
"Come in and have a seat!" Zhang Menglong flung the door open and sat down on the sofa as if everything was natural and he had been through it countless times before.
"What's going on here?" The new internet celebrity who had just arrived had a whole story prepared, but she had not even begun to speak when Zhang Menglong's reaction left her utterly baffled.
"Looks like he really is a clueless rich kid!" The internet celebrity revealed a contemptuous smile, dealing with rich kids like him, they were all battle-hardened, knowing the easiest methods to use.
"No! Another one!" Zhang Menglong nudged his chin.
"Is someone already here?" The female internet celebrity showed a hint of surprise. No wonder Zhang Menglong seemed so nonchalant—it turned out he had hidden beauty in his golden house.
After a moment of surprise, she regained her composure. Of course, considering who Zhang Menglong was, even the world's richest man would treat him with respect.
Moreover, this time he was the investor for "Three-Body", to put it bluntly, he could completely have the final say on the movie's casting if he wished. As long as someone was bold enough to offer themselves, many would probably try to find a way into his room tonight, so it wasn't strange at all for there to be someone in there.
But looking at Zhang Menglong's demeanor, it didn't seem like he wanted to pick one of them. Could it be that he was planning a group activity?
Going for broke! If she could just get this opportunity, what did it matter if it was a group sport?" So many wanted this chance and didn't get it. If it weren't for everyone staying in this Wanda Hotel tonight, they probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to come over.
"Knock knock!" A moment later, there was another round of knocking.
"Crap, enough to make up a mahjong table now!" Zhang Menglong opened the door again, "Twins? That's some fun!" Discover hidden stories at empire
"Mr. Zhang, we..."
"The younger sister has arrived?"
...
"Knock knock knock..."
"Yo, another one! A few more and we could play a murder mystery game."
...
"Knock knock knock!"
"Contestant number eight."
...
"Knock knock knock!"
"We could even play Werewolf with a full table now..."
...
"Knock knock knock!"
"Has my place become a hotspot for internet celebrities today?"
...
"Knock knock knock!"
"Crap! Why is there a guy too? Not into that... Damn... why is it you!"
There were already a dozen people gathered in the room, and unexpectedly, standing at the door was Wang Ling when he opened it this time.
"Sorry... sorry to disturb!" Wang Ling was startled by the spectacular scene. He might have gone a little over the top, but he had never experienced so many people at once—if someone took a photo of this, it would be huge news!
"Crap! Can your frame handle this many people?" Wang Ling exclaimed in astonishment. "Go on, I'll find someone to stand guard for you. You actually like it this exciting?"
"I..." Zhang Menglong was immediately at a loss for words, "they weren't called by me... listen to me explain!"
