School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert Chapter 693

Chapter 693: Chapter 696: The Mysterious Place Chapter 693: Chapter 696: The Mysterious Place This woman is indeed not bad.

As Xiao Han entered the hall, he witnessed what could only be described as opulence.

The thousands of square feet of the Red Building were floored with tiles made of microcrystalline jade worth hundreds of dollars each. Walking there was like treading on pieces of jade stone. Advancing along the corridor, the walls were adorned with ancient paintings that were all genuine. Among them, Xiao Han recognized at a glance, a bamboo painting by Mr. Zheng Banqiao. That painting alone was worth at least tens of millions at auction.

Yet, here in the Red Building, it was casually hung on the wall, simply as a piece of art to appreciate.

Xiao Han couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Soon, they entered a room with just the right lighting. A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. There was a set of Italian leather sofas, and an expensive television mounted on the wall, complete with a home theater system.

Upon entering the room, Mo Shaocong took a seat on the sofa.

“Young Master Mo, which girl would you like to keep you company lately?” Holding onto Mo Shaocong's arm, the girl asked with a smiling gaze.

“Xiao Han, do you want to take a look?” Mo Shaocong waved his hand.

Xiao Han shook his head, “Forget it, I am not interested in such things.”

“Heh heh, you'll be interested once you see it.” Mo Shaocong's lips curled into a smile, “You've helped me a great deal this time. I've brought you here to relax, and you're surely going to open your eyes wide.”

“Oh?” Xiao Han was somewhat curious. The place that could bring such joy to Mo Shaocong must be more than ordinary, right?

Xiao Han leaned over and took just one glance. He was stunned on the spot.

The roster was filled with the names of top and second-tier domestic celebrities; only when he flipped further back did the third-tier stars appear. Xiao Han was astounded, his eyes wide and speechless, “What… what's going on here? Could it be… these are all real people?”

“Of course!” Mo Shaocong nodded, “They're all the real deal, and no, you're not seeing things.”

“My God!” Xiao Han almost collapsed. He was holding a roster that didn't just have a list of names but also an album. The people in the album corresponded to the names on the list. The goddesses who were untouchable on TV shows and television… turned out to be entertainers in the Red Building. This revelation left him flabbergasted, including both unmarried and even some married women.

However, as Xiao Han flipped through a few pages, he noticed one name crossed out.

“This one has been crossed out?” Xiao Han asked curiously, “What's the deal here?”

“That star had a car accident last month and passed away.” The girl beside him chuckled, “So we had to cross off her name.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han immediately asked, “If I pick anyone at random, they will definitely come?”

“Of course!” The girl nodded, “They'll fly to Beijing as soon as possible to join you.”

Sss…

Xiao Han sharply inhaled a breath of cold air, so he decided to give it a try. Whether it was as they said,, just pointing would make them fly over immediately. It wasn't that Xiao Han was lecherous, but rather he was genuinely curious, which made him want to experiment.

“Who do you want to choose?” The girl asked curiously, “However, if you book in advance now, they might only be able to arrive tonight or tomorrow.”

“Let me see…” Xiao Han quickly flipped through a few pages.

Very quickly, Xiao Han settled on someone.

He knew this person, often seeing her on TV. She used to be just a third-tier small model, but nowadays, having hooked up with a certain big star, her value soared. Not only did her appearance fees become expensive, but also her popularity skyrocketed, despite her complete lack of any significant works or fame, solely because she was hooked up with a well-known male star.

“Is she possible?” Xiao Han inquired curiously.

“Of course!” The girl nodded, “If you require, I can contact her right now!”

“Okay!” Xiao Han immediately affirmed.

“Tsk tsk, you really know how to pick.” Mo Shaocong grinned, “She's not only a popular actress but also another man's… wife!”

“I… I'm just curious,” Xiao Han said awkwardly.

“There's nothing to be curious about.” Mo Shaocong smiled and said, “The female stars who appear in this roster all have their own reasons for doing so. Let me tell you something. The influence of the people who can step through these doors in China is immense. For these stars, getting involved with these powerful individuals can be life-changing. Even if they can't get close to them, merely befriending them is highly beneficial for their career. Take the woman you've selected, for example.”

“What about her?” Xiao Han quickly asked.

“Do you really think it's her husband's fame that she relies on?” Mo Shaocong said with a scornful laugh, “Now her fame has surpassed her husband's. What's it down to?”

“Could it be…” Xiao Han looked at Mo Shaocong in astonishment.

“Exactly!” Mo Shaocong nodded and said, “It's all thanks to the Red Building.”

The Red Building had connections and relationships.

As long as a female star was willing to be associated with the Red Building and gained its endorsement, it would find a way to boost her fame.

Because promoting a star was also very beneficial to the Red Building. Besides, the Red Building's network was so extensive it was almost uncountable. For them, elevating a group of female stars posed no great difficulty. Once a female star became famous, her value at the Red Building naturally went up, and hence, so did their profits.

A girl made a phone call and then said with a smile, “Just got in touch, and it turns out they've just finished filming. They were planning on returning to Shanghai, but now the assistant is arranging for them to fly to Beijing. You can meet her tonight.”

“Seriously?” Xiao Han had never witnessed such a miraculous thing.

Xiao Han couldn't help but flip through the roster again–from so-called international superstars to some second-tier female celebrities. It really was full of surprises, leaving one astounded. What Xiao Han didn't expect was that these female celebrities, who seemed as pure as jade maidens on television, all belonged to the Red Building. It was unbelievable.

“By the way, arrange dinner for us,” Mo Shaocong said, “and then book a couple of rooms. I'm tired and need to rest.”

“Of course!” The girl nodded immediately.

She then promptly took them upstairs; all the rooms there were for guests. However, the number of rooms wasn't vast, with probably only a little over twenty, which had never been fully occupied.

The range of facilities in the guest rooms was nothing short of astonishing.

And there were even themed rooms.

Xiao Han chose a typical hotel-style room. The environment was good, a notch above a five-star hotel. The room was also spacious. In Beijing, such a large room with such luxurious equipment would cost at least three to four thousand a night.

“How's the room?” Mo Shaocong asked.

“Not bad!” Xiao Han nodded.

The room was spacious and the decor was very cozy, without any of the usual hotel chilliness. There were even several dolls placed in the corner of the room, adding to the homey warmth.

Sitting down on the couch, Xiao Han asked, “Big brother, why are these female stars willing to work with the Red Building even after they get famous?”

“A female star's popularity is only temporary,” Mo Shaocong, with a cigarette in his mouth, sat down opposite Xiao Han and said, “Without enduring exposure, they'll be replaced sooner or later. Once they've become famous, they're even more willing to collaborate with the Red Building because they've gotten used to the fame, the status, and the popularity; they don't want to return to a life of obscurity.”

“It's quite an eye-opener,” Xiao Han said with a laugh.

“They'd rather not be at the mercy of all sorts of directors, assistant directors, or even producers, who might exploit them. It's better to work with the Red Building. At least the Red Building's clients are clean and are people with status and position. Not only are they free from any contagious diseases, but they also guarantee fame,” Mo Shaocong said with a chuckle, “The most important thing is that working with the Red Building not only brings fame, but it also brings heaps of money. Why wouldn't they go for it?”

“That does make sense,” Xiao Han said, seeming to understand after Mo Shaocong put it that way.

“Let me tell you about the most successful case,” Mo Shaocong laughed and said, “In Beijing, there used to be a third-tier little model, Zhang Yan, who only worked in nightclubs, sitting with customers and going out with them. Then she happened to meet a minister's son, Young Master Liu, who introduced her to the owner of the Red Building through his connections. After being listed in the roster, her value skyrocketed, she soared high into the clouds, and also starred in several TV series. Now she has shot up to become one of the top-tier female stars in the country.”

“That's quite a counterattack,” Xiao Han commented with a laugh.

“Yeah!” Mo Shaocong nodded and said, “Before, Zhang Yan charged only eight hundred for a date, but now her appearance fee is at least eight million at a time. Her value has skyrocketed by tens of thousands of times. Who wouldn't want that?”

“So what you're saying is, not just anyone can get into the Red Building's roster?” Xiao Han asked, puzzled.

“Of course!” Mo Shaocong sneered and said, “The Red Building's roster isn't something just anyone can get into. You need to have connections first and foremost, and you have to be pretty with a good figure; there are strict standards for that, and there is a professional team dedicated to crafting and maintaining these standards. Don't think the Red Building is simple; the power behind it is very complex.”

“That makes sense,” Xiao Han nodded and said, “Being able to elevate a nightclub hostess to a top-tier celebrity really is an unmatched ability.”

“Have a good rest and later we'll have dinner,” Mo Shaocong smiled and said, “By the way, the female star you ordered will join you for dinner.”

“And what about you?” Xiao Han asked nervously.

“We'll be together,” Mo Shaocong said with a mysterious smile.

“Okay, great!” Xiao Han felt much more at ease.

That afternoon, Xiao Han didn't sleep at all, his mind occupied with thoughts of the Red Building. The idea of being able to sleep with a popular female star was indeed impressive. The thought alone was thrilling. All of this occupied his mind until six in the evening.
