Chapter 502 281: The Devil's Temptation

She would wait to lay her cards on the table; then, they could become the kind of best friends who share a bed.

But if she did it now, she was afraid Peng Caina would look down on her with contempt.

...

On the tarmac, they got off the shuttle bus.

Seeing the private jet, emblazoned with "Global 7500" and Qi Sheng's exclusive surname.

Even Peng Caina and Davika, two of Thailand's hottest female stars, couldn't help but be utterly stunned.

"OMG, Davika, no wonder you signed with his company."

Peng Caina looked at the Bombardier before her and suddenly began to understand Davika.

No matter how famous they became in Thailand, they would, at the very most, have a net worth of a few tens of millions.

To have a net worth of over a hundred million...

That was impossible unless they were like their senior, Sister Aum, who had stayed at the top for twenty years straight.

But even Sister Aum couldn't afford a private jet like this.

The price for the base model alone was 2.5 billion Thai baht.

And that wasn't even counting the astronomical annual fees for management, maintenance, and crew salaries.

And in all of Thailand, the number of super-rich individuals who owned a private jet of this caliber could be counted on two hands.

...

By the time they arrived at Phuket Airport...

The women on the plane still hadn't come down from their high of excitement.

For them, this was likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ride in such an expensive private jet.

They had taken hundreds of photos alone.

Even Davika and Peng Caina couldn't resist, and they also snapped quite a few pictures.

They now had a new understanding of Qi Sheng's wealth.

The Banyan Tree Hotel on Phuket Island also sent private cars to greet them.

As the birthplace of the Banyan Tree Group...

The Banyan Tree in Phuket was extremely famous among tourists from Europe and America.

Even the most basic pool villa started at 3,000 a night.

Ordinary tourists couldn't afford such a high price.

The convoy arrived at the Banyan Tree Hotel in Bangtao Bay, on the Northwest coast of Phuket Island.

A group of hotel employees, led by General Manager Xu Jun, stood in two lines to welcome them.

"Boss, welcome to the Banyan Tree Hotel in Phuket."

Xu Jun was in his early thirties, with a tan complexion. When he smiled, he revealed a set of bright white teeth, giving him a very approachable air.

"First, arrange for someone to take them to their rooms."

Qi Sheng gave Xu Jun a simple handshake and casually gave the order.

"Of course."

Xu Jun turned back and said a few words in Chinese to several locals who were dressed like butlers, "Take our guests to their rooms."

"This way, sirs."

The butlers behind them gathered around Wang Han and the others.

They led them towards their respective two-bedroom, two-pool villas.

At the Banyan Tree in Phuket, even the most basic room type was a 170-square-meter pool villa.

As for Qi Sheng, the boss...

He would, of course, be staying in the hotel's most luxurious and spacious three-bedroom, two-pool villa.

Originally, Peng Caina had wanted to get the cheapest pool villa for herself.

But Davika had coaxed her into staying in this villa as well.

'I get to stay in such a huge villa without spending my own money.'

Although Peng Caina felt it was improper, she couldn't resist Davika's pulling and dragging, and finally "succumbed."

Qi Sheng and Xu Jun were in the living room, discussing hotel matters.

Meanwhile, Davika and Peng Caina were unpacking in their respective rooms.

Once they were settled, Davika received a phone call and walked out of the villa with a sour look on her face.

Inside the villa, only Qi Sheng and Peng Caina were left.

Xu Jun, who had been reporting on his work earlier, had left at some point without them noticing.

"Mr. Qi, thank you."

Peng Caina vaguely sensed that this Mr. Qi before her...

...probably didn't have such a simple relationship with Davika.

If they were just ordinary friends, Davika wouldn't have so naturally moved into a villa he had booked.

"No need to be so polite. You're Davika's friend, which makes you my friend, too."

Qi Sheng had no intention of being secretive; only Davika seemed to think she could fool Peng Caina.

"You and Davika...?"

Peng Caina's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected Qi Sheng to be so frank.

"It's exactly what you think."

Qi Sheng poured himself a glass of champagne, adding ice cubes to lower its temperature.

"But she has a boyfriend. She shouldn't be doing this."

Peng Caina frowned slightly, a little displeased with her best friend's actions.

"How much do you make a year?"

Qi Sheng asked with a smile, swirling the champagne in his glass.

"Around 50 million Thai baht."

Peng Caina didn't understand why Qi Sheng was asking, but she answered instinctively.

"That's all?"

Qi Sheng did a quick conversion in his head. It was only about ten million RMB.

Back home, that was the equivalent of a single endorsement deal for someone like Reba.

"That's already a lot. Thailand has a small population; it can't compare to your country."

Peng Caina, however, was quite content with it.

At the very least, her standard of living already surpassed 99.99% of the Thai population.

"If you were to sign with my company, I could guarantee you'd earn at least 200 million Thai baht a year. What would you choose then?"

Qi Sheng looked at Peng Caina with an amused expression.

"Two hundred million Thai baht?"

Peng Caina was stunned.

She had worked hard for nearly ten years just to earn 80 million Thai baht.

And now, the man in front of her was telling her...

...that as long as she did the same as Davika, she could earn 200 million Thai baht every year.

Even though Peng Caina was very confident in herself, she didn't think she could ever earn that much money on her own.

Thai actresses rose to fame quickly, but their popularity faded just as fast.

This temptation was practically a deal with the devil.

Peng Caina desperately wanted to say no to Qi Sheng, but the word wouldn't come out.

Two hundred million Thai baht a year... that was one billion in five years!

As long as she wasn't too extravagant, it was enough for her and her family to live a very wealthy life without any worries for the rest of their days.

'Even a woman like Davika, who has a boyfriend, can do it.'

'What's stopping me, a single female celebrity?'

When Davika returned from arguing with her boyfriend, she saw Peng Caina kneeling at the man's knees.

She was convincingly mimicking what Davika had done earlier.

She saw Qi Sheng dotingly stroking Peng Caina's head.

A sense of alarm instantly rose in Davika.

"Make some room for me."

Davika grabbed a cushion and nudged Peng Caina's shoulder.

"Ugh... you have a boyfriend."

Peng Caina was a little ashamed.

But she was even more contemptuous of Davika's behavior behind her boyfriend's back.

"I already broke up with him. I'm single now."

Davika said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

In the face of hundreds of millions of Thai baht...

...any talk of fragile emotions seemed utterly ridiculous.

As for Qi Sheng, he couldn't care less about her relationship history.

'There's no need to get emotionally involved. Simply enjoying the fawning of two female stars is enough.'

'Two of Thailand's top-five hottest female stars, kneeling on the floor, eagerly trying to please me.'

'Isn't this a hundred times more fun than what Wang Han and the others are up to next door?'

If he were back home and made such an offer...

...he wouldn't be able to make stars like Reba yield so easily.

But in Thailand, not a single female star could refuse his temptation.

If it weren't for that Sister Aum being too old...

...Qi Sheng wouldn't have minded experiencing the charms of a veteran star.

But for now, it was better to concentrate his firepower on these two little vixens.
