Golden Scale [EN]: Chapter 172

Jiangshan Beauty (Part 1)

The crises in the open and in the dark had basically been eliminated, and the operations of both the Dongxing Group and the separated Dongxing Entertainment Company had entered the right track.

Hou Longtao spent the most relaxing week since he returned from studying in the United States. He worked four hours a day, and the rest of the time was spent entertaining with his brothers and wives, or enjoying the blessings of having so many women at home. It was truly carefree…

It was Monday again, and Hou Longtao arrived at his huge office in Oriental Plaza. As soon as he sat down, Ru Yan informed him that Gu Quanzhi had come to visit.

Hou Longtao personally went to open the office door. “Uncle Gu, come in, come in. Why announce yourself? Just push the door open and come in.”

“Hehe, that won’t do,” Gu Quanzhi entered the office. “This is the office of the chairman of a listed company. Hey, it’s quite impressive.” The old fox pointed to a rising dragon painting and a tiger descending the mountain painting hanging on the wall, each more than a person tall.

“Oh, right, this is your first time here. They were gifts from a few brothers.”

“How have you been lately? I haven’t contacted you for a while.” Gu Quanzhi put his briefcase on the large desk and sat down.

“Do you want a cigarette? I’m fine. There’s nothing that needs me to worry too much about.” Hou Longtao lit a cigarette himself. He had a feeling that his peaceful days were coming to an end.

“It’s been more than a week. Have you rested enough?”

Hou Longtao took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed. “Tell me what’s on your mind.”

“Xu Ruyun is pregnant?”

“With Third Brother’s?”

“Yes.”

“Yes, three months along.”

“What do you plan to do?”

“Do?” Hou Longtao looked at Gu Quanzhi strangely. “What do you mean ‘do’? Of course, she’ll carry the baby for ten months and give birth.”

“Are you going to sign the birth certificate?”

“Of course,” Hou Longtao’s eyes almost popped out. “The child is mine.”

“That’s not what I meant. You have public relationships with fourteen women. Although I’m not sure, I estimate you have some relationships that aren’t public. With so many women, I’m asking what you plan to do with your relationships with them, not just Xu Ruyun alone.”

“Why are you suddenly bringing this up?”

“It’s not sudden. It’s that the time has come when we can no longer avoid it.”

“Just for once, please, can we get straight to the point?” Hou Longtao suddenly realized that after a week of rest, his state of mind seemed to have changed a bit, and he was no longer as bothered by Gu Quanzhi’s way of speaking as before.

“Okay, everything has a starting point. There should be a spot for you when the next Beijing Municipal People’s Congress is re-elected.”

“Okay?”

“Relationships with women are the biggest killer of a political career. You can have countless mistresses as long as you do a good job of keeping it secret. But China is a monogamous country. If you want to get married, you may have to get married. What I mean is, Zhang Yuqian or Feng Yun. I personally prefer Feng Yun. Is that straight to the point enough?” Gu Quanzhi stared at the young man opposite him, clearly wanting him to give an answer now.

Ever since Qu Yan brought up the issue of marriage, Hou Longtao had thought about it seriously more than once. He felt that marrying any of them would be his blessing, but marrying any one of them would be unfair to the others.

He had never come up with an answer and comforted himself that things hadn’t reached the point where they had to be resolved. But now it seemed that the time had come to make a decision.

Gu Quanzhi shook his head slightly, a little disappointed, when he saw that the other party hadn’t responded for a long time. “How much time do you need? They won’t wait for you indefinitely.”

“Who’s ‘they’?”

“They.” Gu Quanzhi rolled his eyes upward.

“Tomorrow, then.”

“Okay, I’m not putting pressure on you. All decisions must be based on your own free will.”

Gu Quanzhi stood up.

Hou Longtao got up to see him off. After returning to his desk, he sat in his swivel chair and turned to look out the window. He sat there for a whole day, without even eating lunch or going home with Ru Yan.

“Fourth Brother, what are you doing?” Long pushed the door open and poked his head in through the crack.

“Huh?” Hou Longtao came back to his senses. “Weren’t you not coming today?”

“I’m bringing you food.” Long raised the two large McDonald’s takeout bags in his hand.

“What time is it?” Hou Longtao looked at his watch. It was almost seven o’clock. “How did you know I was here?”

“Ru Yan called me and asked me to come see you. She said Uncle Gu visited you this morning, and then you were acting a little strange. She was afraid it was something between us men, so she didn’t rashly ask you, but she was worried about you, so here I am. I’m such a hard worker.”

“Damn, yes, you’re the most hardworking. Let’s go out and eat.”

The two young men left the building and sat down on the steps, smoking and munching on American-recipe junk food. Autumn evenings were perfect for outdoor activities.

“What did Uncle Gu want to see you about?” Long stuffed several fries into his mouth.

“Let me tell you a story.” Hou Longtao took a sip of Coke.

“Tell me.”

“In a city, there was a very loving young couple. Every time they ate together, if there was fish, the man’s first chopstick would definitely be to pick out the fish eyes and put them in the woman’s bowl. The woman didn’t like eating fish eyes at all…”

“Nobody eats fish eyes.”

“Most people don’t eat them, but she insisted for a long time without saying anything. Later, she couldn’t bear it anymore and asked her boyfriend why he gave her the fish eyes. The man said that the person who loved him the most was his grandmother. Every time they ate fish, his grandmother would give him the fish eyes, saying they could nourish the brain and improve eyesight. He subconsciously formed the idea that if you love someone very much, you give them the fish eyes.”

“Okay, what’s the meaning of this story?”

“It’s not over yet. Their incomes weren’t that high, but they were very stable, and they lived a peaceful life. But the woman was very ambitious. She wasn’t content to live a plain life. She wanted to go out and make something of herself. The man was very satisfied with the status quo. He didn’t understand why his lover was so dissatisfied. The man was unwilling and unable to give up everything he had in the place where he grew up, and the woman was unwilling to give up her dreams. Although they loved each other, they couldn’t reach a consensus on this point, and they eventually broke up. The man continued his plain and peaceful life in the city, and the woman went to a distant big city.”

Long put a cigarette in Hou Longtao’s mouth,

“You’re such a woman, you can even tell this kind of story.”

“Get lost.” In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed, and the woman had become a successful businesswoman. Her company could be a leader in the industry in China, and she was finally able to return home in glory. The man invited her to his house for dinner and made a big carp. The woman looked at the fish and suddenly thought of the fish eyes. Over the years, she didn’t know how many banquets and dinners she had attended, didn’t know how many fish she had eaten, but no one had ever given her fish eyes. The man picked a piece of the most tender meat from the fish and put it in the woman’s bowl, then gave the fish eyes to his wife.”

“Damn, he has a wife? Just like you, wanting to have it all.”

“Shut up.” Hou Longtao pushed Long. “The woman burst into tears. She knew that no one would ever give her fish eyes again. She realized in an instant that she had won the whole world but lost the most precious thing in her life.”

“Is it over?”

“It’s over.”

“You can even make up this kind of story?”

“I didn’t make it up. I saw it in ‘Reader’ [a popular Chinese digest magazine]. That’s roughly the meaning. I don’t remember some of the details.”

“What does this have to do with Uncle Gu seeing you?”

“He wants me to run for the next Beijing Municipal People’s Congress representative.”

“Oh,” Long nodded as if he understood. “What did you decide?”

“The world is nothing more than this. If I want to have it, I can have it. I know I have that ability, that opportunity.” Hou Longtao stood up and turned to look at the Oriental Plaza, which was shining golden in the sunset. An autumn wind blew, and the clouds in the sky rolled. It was rush hour, and bustling white-collar workers passed by him…

(P.S. Below is the first ending I envisioned. The second ending is not yet time.)

In a bedroom on the second floor of a two-story building in Los Angeles, Hou Longtao sat in front of the computer, staring blankly at the Word document on the screen. It was really difficult to give himself a brilliant ending after racking his brains for more than four years.

“Knock, knock,” someone knocked on the half-closed door.

“Come in.”

A Chinese woman who was quite good-looking came into the room. She was wearing a short shirt, a black short skirt, and a one-piece white apron. “Don’t stay cooped up in the room. Come downstairs. Dinner will be ready soon.”

“Oh, I know. Are Old Wu and the others back?”

“Soon. They just called back. There’s a traffic jam on the highway, but they’ll be back in a while.”

“I knew it. Tonight is the end of the long weekend. There must be a lot of cars. They should have come back earlier.”

“Yes, yes, you’re smart.”

“Hey…” Hou Longtao suddenly thought of something. “Old Wu and the others took your two kids to Disneyland. Doesn’t that mean it’s just been the two of us at home all along?”

“Yes, did you just figure that out?” The woman smiled lewdly. “I don’t know if you’re stupid or smart.”

“Playing with me?” Hou Longtao pulled his big shorts up his legs.

“Don’t mess around.” The woman turned to leave the room.

“Where are you going?” Hou Longtao jumped up and hugged the woman from behind, grabbing her breasts with both hands.

“Don’t mess around.”

Hou Longtao freed one hand, pulled the woman’s short shirt out of her short skirt, reached in from the hem, grabbed a soft breast, and pinched and kneaded it. His right hand held her plump pussy and rubbed it hard with his palm.

“Really, don’t mess around.”

The woman held the edge of the desk, frowning and complaining, but her slender legs were spread apart to a width suitable for a man to enter.

Hou Longtao pulled the woman’s short shirt out of her short skirt, reached in from the hem with his left hand, grabbed a soft breast, and pinched and kneaded it. His right hand held her plump pussy and rubbed it hard with his palm.

“Really, don’t mess around.”

Hou Longtao raised his right hand in front of the woman. There was a pool of transparent liquid on it.

“This… this is a normal physiological reaction. It doesn’t mean I don’t want you to stop.”

“Stop? You shut up.” Hou Longtao covered the woman’s mouth, took out his hard cock with his left hand, and thrust it into her pussy.

“Ah, ah, ah…” The woman groaned with pleasure, no longer showing any intention of refusing.

Hou Longtao pinched the woman’s waist and fucked her like that. The woman turned her head from time to time to kiss the young man, arching her fat ass against his lower body, making his big cock enter deeper.

Hou Longtao buried his head and worked hard, grabbing the woman’s breasts with both hands, slamming forward violently, enjoying the pussy’s embrace. “I… I want to shoot in your pussy.”

“Ah… ah… no… no… ah… not safe today… ah… ah…” The woman shuddered in fright, and even her uterus spasmed.

“Then I’ll shoot in your mouth.”

“Ah… ah…”

“Answer quickly, quickly.”

“Okay… okay… in my mouth… shoot in my mouth… ah… ah…”

Hou Longtao suddenly pulled his cock out of the woman’s watery, fleshy pussy, and pressed down on her shoulder with his left hand. The woman turned around, squatted against the desk, and opened her mouth. Hou Longtao originally wanted to put his cock, which had swelled to the extreme, into the woman’s mouth and then shoot, but he couldn’t help it when he got in front of her, and he spurted out wildly.

“Ah!” The woman screamed and wanted to dodge, but her head had been held down by the man’s big hand and couldn’t move, so she had to let a large amount of white, turbid sperm spray on her face.

“Oh…” Hou Longtao waited until the last drop of thick sperm had been shot out before putting his half-hard cock into her mouth. “Sister Ailin, clean it up.”

“Um…” The woman carefully cleaned his cock with her mouth and tongue.

“Mommy.”

“Mommy.”

The girl’s voice suddenly came from downstairs. The two men and women who had just been having an affair were shocked. The woman stood up nervously, tidying her clothes. “What are you afraid of?” Hou Longtao mischievously pulled the woman’s panties down to her ankles.

“You really are… you really are…” The woman had to step out of her panties, grabbed a few tissues from the box, and went downstairs to meet them while wiping the sperm off her face.

“Hehehe.” Hou Longtao picked up the panties on the floor with a lewd smile, put them in his pocket, and thought about giving them back to the woman under the table later to see what her expression would be.

Hou Longtao returned to his desk and wanted to close the Word file that had been open all the time, but the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the lottery ticket he had bought the day before yesterday on the table.

“Oh, I forgot to check it. Okay, let’s see.” Hou Longtao opened the official California Lottery website to himself. “What the…”

The page Hou Longtao was facing showed the results of yesterday’s lottery. The $36 million prize had only been sold to one winning ticket in all of California. His eyes moved back and forth between the screen and the piece of paper on the table, and he even found paper and pen to write the set of numbers over and over again.

“Bang,” Hou Longtao slammed his forehead on the table, then sat still with his eyes closed for several minutes. He stood up again and put his lottery ticket in his wallet. “Sister Ailin, come upstairs.”

There was no response.

“Sister Ailin!” Hou Longtao came to the corridor and shouted downstairs, “Come up here!”

“Come down to eat.” The woman’s voice came from the kitchen.

“Come up here.”

“What is it?” The woman walked out, she had taken off her apron.

“Come up here.” Hou Longtao waved his hand.

“What’s wrong?” The woman frowned and walked upstairs.

Hou Longtao entered the room first, hid by the door, and as soon as the woman entered the room, he immediately hugged her waist tightly from behind and kicked the door shut with one foot.

“What are you doing?” The woman twisted her body slightly.

“Of course, I’m fucking you.” Hou Longtao lifted the woman’s feet off the ground, pressed her face down on the bed, lifted her skirt, which was originally empty inside, and her pussy was still watery, so he inserted it again without any effort.

“Ah, ah, ah… you… you… you… ah, ah… what are you doing… what are you doing… ah, ah… so strong…”

Hou Longtao took the woman’s panties out of his pocket and stuffed them into her mouth. “Be honest and take the fucking, don’t talk nonsense.”

“Um, um, um, um…” The woman was somewhat dissatisfied with the man’s attitude, but she was being fucked so well that she couldn’t care about anything else.

Hou Longtao was really working hard, fucking more and more violently. “I want to see your husband.”

“Um, um…” The woman pulled her panties out of her mouth. “What? Ah… ah…”

“I want to see your husband.”

“What… what for… ah… um… ah…”

“Don’t worry, it’s not about us.” Hou Longtao slammed the woman’s upturned ass twice…

Hou Longtao was sent back to China by the company, so IIC bought him a business class ticket. American companies are not allowed to upgrade tickets purchased by the company, so he had to buy a first-class ticket himself. In fact, Hou Longtao is not a wasteful person, and he doesn’t spend money lavishly, but he still bought this ticket, and he doesn’t even know why he did it.

Hou Longtao sat in the chair by the window for a while, and a Chinese girl with dyed blonde hair sat next to him.

The girl’s face was very delicate, she was wearing a short vest, and her exquisite belly button was exposed. Her breasts were not very big, but they were very firm, squeezing out a shallow cleavage in her clothes. She was wearing a very short white skirt, so short that almost even her panties were about to be exposed. Her two slender, white legs were bare, and she was wearing a pair of cute high-heeled sandals.

“Zhang Yuqian?” Hou Longtao asked uncertainly.

“You are…?” The girl turned her head and looked at the man in surprise. “How do you know my name? Do we know each other?”

A wry smile appeared on Hou Longtao’s face… (Golden Scale is Not a Thing in the Pool)
