Chu Qiao entered the lounge. There was nobody there, but she was searching for Lulu. 

Amei was smoking a cigarette when she noticed Chu Qiao, so she extinguished it.

“Did Lulu show up for work today?” Chu Qiao enquired.

“She did.”

“With how money-grubbing and stingy she is, she’d crawl here to work if she had to,” Amei mockingly commented with a bitter laugh.

Even though Lulu’s arm injury wasn’t completely healed, she had returned to work. 

She drank herself nearly to death every night, and she had reclaimed the top sales position once more. 

Amei was once again the perpetual runner-up, and it was difficult to hide her resentment.

Chu Qiao smiled but didn’t explain that Lulu was earning money to pay for her daughter’s treatment. 

Lulu didn’t want to inform anyone, and Chu Qiao had even less reason to do so as an outsider.

“Are you really giving up?” Abruptly, Amei questioned.

“Yes, I have already submitted my resignation.” Chu Qiao gave a nod.

Amei looked a little regretful. 

“You can play piano, and you can play drums too. You can earn clean money, and quite a lot of it. So why quit?”

“I want to open a shop.” Chu Qiao explained.

“What kind of shop?” 

“I haven’t decided yet. But once I open it, you all have to come support me!” 

Chu Qiao smiled with complete sincerity.

She really did intend to open a shop. 

She would still have enough time to manage a shop because working with Lin Baiwei on the business wouldn’t take up too much of her time. 

She simply wasn’t in a rush and hadn’t decided what sort yet. Later, she could give it some thought.

“You don’t think people like us are bad luck?” Amei said with an astonished expression.

It was also difficult for women in their field to rent accommodations. She had relocated multiple times herself. 

The landlords had first been courteous enough, but eventually the neighbors discovered that she worked this kind of job at night and slept during the day. 

The landlords believed she was immoral, rumors began to circulate, and no one was willing to rent for her.

Chu Qiao started laughing. 

“When it comes to poor luck, what is there to discuss? You will be spending money if you visit my shop, right? Should I believe that money has an unpleasant smell? Money smells better than everything else in the world.”

“Haha, you really are funny!”

Amei laughed so hard tears came out.

She had never heard someone say anything like that before. After her father recovered, he somehow found out about what she had done in Shanghai and firmly refused to accept any more of the money she had sent home for his medical care. 

He claimed that her money was dirty. He would sooner die of disease than spend that type of dirty money.

Even her own father said she was dirty, yet from Chu Qiao, an outsider, she had heard a completely different way of putting it. 

Money smelled good, even though she was filthy. And that was absolutely true.

“I’ll surely bring the girls over to support you once your shop opens because you don’t think less of me!” 

Amei’s smile became more sincere.

“Don’t worry, I want to earn your money. When the time arrives, I’ll inform everyone!”

Chu Qiao agreed readily.

She truly didn’t mind. She wasn’t especially close with Amei, Lulu, and the other bar girls. They mostly just chatted a little in the lounge. 

Though they were all women who had fallen into the nightlife trade, Chu Qiao felt that Amei and the others were actually fairly loyal and not cold-blooded people. 

At the very least, they were far better than someone like Zheng Wei, the kind of white lotus who acted virtuously, though behaved like a prostitute.

“Alright, we’ll be waiting!”  

Amei laughed a few times, touched up her lipstick, and swayed off to work. 

She had just opened the door when Lulu came in. 

The strong smell of alcohol mixed with perfume was so overpowering that Amei covered her nose and cursed irritably. 

“You care more about money than your life. Haven’t you ever seen cash before?”

“Hic……”

Lulu let out a huge drunken hiccup, filling the room with the smell of alcohol. 

However, she could see a little better now. Chu Qiao moved forward to assist her as she stumbled toward her seat, ignoring Amei. 

Amei’s gaze flitted around the doorway. She stayed put, clinging to the doorframe. She was curious why Chu Qiao sought Lulu.

“No matter how much you need money, you can’t make it this way, so you should cut back on your drinking. Your well-being is important. What will happen to An’an if you collapse?”

Gently, Chu Qiao poured her a cup of warm water and gave her advice. 

“It’s… fine. I’m strong. I won’t die!”

Lulu appeared slightly more alert and drained the water in a single gulp, but it was clear that she hadn’t taken the comments seriously.
