Sitting in the "rooftop garden," Coco and Fatty were unaware of what
had happened in the restroom. They were immersed in their meal when they
noticed CEO Qin had been in the restroom too long.
Fatty frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"
Coco shrugged it off, remarking, "What could possibly happen? That guy
is always focused on sleeping with the Captain."
"COCO!" Fatty exclaimed, putting down his fork and knife while pointing
behind Coco, his expression twitching.
Feeling an unexpected chill creeping in from behind, Coco's voice
climbed an octave as he swiftly shifted the topic. "Consider this—our
captain isn't exactly someone you'd find easy to sleep with! He’s into
girls, not guys!" That was a relief. He successfully kept his concerns
about Captain possibly turning gay to himself. That was a near miss!
Coco wiped the sweat from his brow.
Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged; the atmosphere in the room felt
more frigid than ever, as if the entire space had frozen.
Coco felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar, the intense chill
emanating from CEO Qin making everyone uncomfortable. He glanced at
Fatty, whose eyes seemed to say "Why did Captain change so dramatically after using the restroom? It
looks like he wants to murder someone".
Fatty shook his head, indicating he had no idea. "Don't talk! Don’t let Boss stare at you!"
They both instinctively sat back, feeling their CEO's oppressive aura.
Qin Mo's dark and ominous voice loomed over them. "Ten more lobsters for
him. Big ones.”
Coco and Fatty weren't the only ones surprised; even the nearby waiter
asked, "More?" Yet the CEO's statement was final. The scene was strange
and entirely unlike him! After all, having so many lobsters wouldn't be
easy to digest.
Once the waiter walked out, Fatty pondered aloud, "CEO Qin, do you
really think Fu Jiu is Spade Z? I find him odd."
Coco defended Fu Jiu, saying, "He's gay, and a gay man's world can be
like this. But he’s a bit different from the Fu family black sheep I
used to know. Wasn’t he like that before?"
"Like what?" Fatty asked, as a homebody with little exposure to such
dynamics. Coco counted on his fingers. "A nymphomaniac; ostentatious;
tasteless; a typical nouveau riche. He didn’t harm anyone, but nobody
liked him because of his attitude. Plus, being gay made him a target for
ostracism."
"And he wants to sleep with..." Fatty began but stopped abruptly. Qin
Mo was toying with a lighter, raising an eyebrow coldly.
"He wants to sleep with who? Why did you stop? Hmm?"
"Sleep... sleep... sleep..." Fatty stammered, struggling to find a
better word. "Sleep with... me?"
"You?" Qin Mo twirled the lighter in his fingers, pausing briefly. His
tone turned icy, as sharp as an unsheathed sword poised for
confrontation. "He wouldn't dare; you're not good-looking enough."
Fatty was taken aback. Why is my CEO criticizing my looks even after I tried to defend
him?
To save Fatty from trouble, Coco said, "Captain, should we test Fu
Jiu?"
"No need." Qin Mo tilted his head and replied in a flat, emotionless
voice.
"If it is him," Fatty frowned. "I really can't figure out why Spade Z
would ask you to have a gay meetup. Is he just playing games to get
closer to the Boss? Is that why he wanted to meet up?" Fatty glanced at
their CEO, relieved to see he was being rational and didn't outright
reject his suggestion.
But then Coco thought of something and suddenly sat up straight. "No,
it’s not about getting close to the Captain. If that were the case, he
wouldn’t have declined the Captain's friend request when he sent it.
Isn't our Captain recruiting new contestants? Many companies under us
want to send people to our company. Madam Fu seems to be having issues
with her company; all her contestants have been poached, and she can't
even provide a name list. If this continues, her company will
crash."
"You’re saying Spade Z asked to meet the CEO for this reason?" Fatty
said, looking at Qin Mo. This time, it seemed like the CEO almost
dropped the lighter. However, Qin Mo remained silent. He raised his
jade-like hand slightly and picked up the wine glass on the table,
swirling it several times while his deep eyes turned cold.
So this was the reason Spade Z wanted to meet me...

The conversation suddenly caught Fu Jiu off guard. This guy was clearly
teasing her on purpose, using her own words against her. After playfully
blowing in his ear, he was now getting back at her? She only had 5000
yuan, earned from gaming—enough for just five lobsters. The gay meetup
handbook was a joke! Almighty Qin, if you keep using these revenge
tactics, you won't be able to make any gay friends, let alone find a
girlfriend! stopped when Fu Jiu entered the room. She immediately
noticed that ten more lobsters had been placed on the table. The dinner
table wasn't small; they had reserved a presidential luxury table that
could seat twelve people, but it was now overflowing with lobsters.
Almighty Qin's food only took up a tiny space on the table. He seemed
intent on overfeeding her.
Fu Jiu raised her head in frustration. Did the gay meetup guide not
teach Almighty to be generous and nice to the in-game friend he was
meeting for the first time? You can't waste money like this, no matter
how rich you are! These aren’t cheap ten-yuan miniature lobsters; these
are all Australian lobsters[i]!
The man noticed her murmurs, which seemed to convey her frustration. He
laughed lightly, pulled out a cigarette, and placed it between his lips.
After lighting it, he tilted his chin up and said, "They're all yours,
eat up."
"Fine," Fu Jiu said with a mischievous grin. "Well, I’ll eat then.
Besides, I’m not the one paying." However, she noticed that Almighty Qin
seemed even colder than before. She hadn't overstepped any boundaries
with him, so why was he smirking at her? Did something happen while she
was away? After thinking it over for a moment, she still couldn't figure
out the reason.
Having already eaten several lobsters, Fu Jiu felt quite satisfied.
After this meeting, she wouldn't have to hide her status in the contest
anymore, nor would she have to worry about Qin Mo investigating her. To
be honest, this was her first time dealing with such a formidable
opponent. He had even uncovered that she liked lollipops. If he
continued to investigate her, who knew what he might discover? She
couldn't afford to be scrutinized by Qin Mo—not only because she had
been reborn but, most importantly... she was a girl, not a boy.
