48 MY Help (2/2)
The TV had a paused movie displayed on its screen.
Ren Daiyu quickly took her place next to Li Xiuying, covered herself with her blanket and took the bowl of ice cream in her hands.
Li Xiuying pressed play.

Down town in the Bar - Face
Xǔ Junjie was with a group of his friends in a private room.
He reclined back on the plush couch. In one hand Xǔ Junjie swirled his drink in a glass, the ice cubes making clinking sounds as they hit the sides of the glass.
The boisterous banter of his friends filled the room, with the accompanying feminine laughter of women who somehow managed to get invited to what was meant to be a men's only gathering.
Xǔ Junjie had two women on either side of him vying for his attention. Both women displayed seductive looks on their faces and hunger burned in their eyes as they looked at Xǔ Junjie.
The woman on his right wore a little black dress with a long pearl necklace; she had 6 inch black stilettos. She was whispering sweet nothing's into Xǔ Junjie's ear whilst twirling his hair around her slender fingers.
The woman on Xǔ Junjie's left wore a mink halter neck dress that came down to mid-thigh; she wore peach colored 6 inch heels. She was using the index finger of her left hand to lightly trace along Xǔ Junjie's collar bone.
Xǔ Junjie just sat leisurely, looking every bit the GQ model and let the women continue with their ministrations.
Wu Cheng: ”Hey Junjie, what's up with you tonight? You've barely said a word since you've arrived, all you've done is swirl that drink for the past hour.”
Xǔ Junjie looked at Wu Cheng: ”I'm just thinking about the company. I've had to restructure it from the bottom to the top. Staff changes, policy changes, implementation of extra security for customers etc; it's been endless.”
Wu Cheng: ”Why would you need to restructure? Clearly what you've been doing until now is yielding results. Orchid is one of the biggest credit agencies in the country. You could just sleep and you'd make money.”
Xǔ Junjie just smiled and didn't answer.
Wu Cheng called over to one of group, who was currently leaning over a giggling woman off to one side: ”Huojin, get your tongue out of her ear and help me cheer up our brother Xǔ. He's got two beauties on his lap, a drink in his hand and his best friends around him and all he can think about is work.”
Wan Houjin whispered something in the giggling girls ear before strolling over and sitting down next to Wu Cheng.
Wan Houjin said with confidence: ”Junjie, my brother, you just need to get laid.”
That was Wan Houjin's solutions to everything. Stressful day at work; get laid. Good day at work; get laid. It's raining and you forget your umbrella; get laid.
Xǔ Junjie's phone started vibrating in his pocket, he pulled it out and looked at the caller. It was Xǔ Enlai, just when he was about to answer his phone, it stopped vibrating.
He was about to call Xǔ Enlai back, when he saw that he had received a message from a number he didn't recognise.
He opened the message and read: ”Hello Xǔ Junjie, its Ren Daiyu. Dr Li Xiuying asked if you could help find these men for her.”
He froze in shock and stared at the screen. The words ”Dr. Li Xiuying needs help” circled around his mind. He broke from his daze. His mind shouting in celebration; She needs my help! My help!
He abruptly stood up almost causing the two women to topple on to the floor.
Wu Cheng and Wan Houjin looked up at him with confused expressions.
Wu Cheng: ”Where are you going so suddenly?”
Xǔ Junjie looked down at him and said with a smile on his face: ”She needs MY help. MY help.” He put extra emphasis on the word my.
With that said Xǔ Junjie quickly hurried to leave the room.
Wu Cheng shouted after him: ”She who? Who needs your help?”
Wu Cheng looked over to Houjin, his facial expression saying do you know what's going on?
Wan Houjin shrugged: ”Probably gone to get laid.”
Wu Cheng face palmed.
