“But the fact that you’ve chosen me right now means I have value, doesn’t it?” Li Xiaotan said as she put her clothes back on, her movements deliberate and unhurried.

As she fastened the last button, she turned to face Shen Wan. “Judging by your willingness to spend lavishly, I’m sure you mind an extra fifty thousand.”

“Not minding it doesn’t mean I’ll let you take the advantage.”

Li Xiaotan frowned. “Don’t you find yourself acting strangely? You sought me out, yet you’re also being critical and sharp in your words. I’m certain I haven’t offended you before today, so why?”

Even though Shen Wan concealed it well, Li Xiaotan could still see a hint of disdain in her eyes.

She didn’t like that look.

Not at all.

Shen Wan didn’t show any embarrassment at being exposed. “Maybe we had some unresolved grudge in a past life?” She smiled ambiguously, her words carrying a mixture of truth and jest.

Li Xiaotan heard this but remained composed.

Her aim was not to engage in an argument but to secure more money. So, in the face of Shen Wan’s unexplained hostility, she endured it willingly.

“Let’s stick to the same point—anything less than a hundred and fifty thousand is not up for discussion.”

Shen Wan found it somewhat amusing to see Li Xiaotan so sure of herself. She even laughed, “You’re haggling over the price without even knowing what I want you to do. Isn’t that a bit hasty?”

“Rest assured, now that I’ve taken the money, I’ll definitely get the job done.”

“Can you guarantee that it will be done for sure?”

The woman hesitated.

Shen Wan spoke nonchalantly, “I have a friend who used to work here as a waiter, and signed a six-month contract. Now, he wants to terminate it, but Night Paris doesn’t seem willing to let him go.”

Li Xiaotan replied, “If I remember correctly, the penalty for breaking a six-month contract is two hundred thousand. Since you’re not short on money, why don’t you just pay it and be done with it? What can I do for you?”

“Can everything really be solved once I pay the penalty?” Shen Wan’s jet-black pupils bore into her, crystal clear as if they could reflect all the dirt and deception, piercing through like a watchful observer.

She continued, “If money could solve everything, do you think I would come to you?”

The woman frowned.

Shen Wan continued, “I’m aware that Night Paris keeps the personal information of all their waitstaff indefinitely. I don’t want any potential threats to my friend’s security to be in the hands of someone else down the line. I’ll sweeten the deal with an extra hundred thousand, bringing the total to two hundred and fifty thousand. Your task isn’t just to help with the contract termination; it’s also to make sure my friend’s personal information is wiped from their records permanently. I’ll emphasize again that I want everything permanently gone.”

Li Xiaotan squinted her eyes, quietly on guard. “Who are you, exactly?” She found it astonishing that someone would know such internal information about the retention of employee identity data.

You see, even employees who have worked here for over five years may not be aware of this, yet she could speak of it so freely.

Shen Wan replied, “Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is that when it’s done, you’ll get two hundred and fifty thousand in cash. If you calculate, that should cover your hosting fees for almost half a year, right?”

The woman’s gaze flickered. “Since you know so much about these internal details, you should also be aware that these identity documents are kept by the higher-level managers. It’s a significant risk for a woman like me to help you with this. So..” She paused, not the least bit shy about showing her greed. “Two hundred and fifty thousand won’t cut it; I want five hundred thousand..”
