Chapter 21 The First Day of Work

  Today was Zhang Huban's first day of work, and he felt a little nervous for some reason. As a mid-term master of Yuan Yin, Zhang Huban could completely sense his appearance at any time, but it wasn't until after he looked in the mirror that he thoroughly relaxed about his image problem. Of course, our protagonist, Zhang Huban, had the ability to change his appearance through the use of his spiritual power, making himself look more perfect and handsome, but Zhang Huban didn't bother with such things. He believed that one's natural appearance was a gift from their parents, and he wanted to preserve this unique inheritance, even if it wasn't particularly good-looking.

  Zhang Huban's unusual behavior in front of the mirror couldn't help but cause extreme curiosity among Hu Zhiming and the others. If it hadn't been for the fact that over a month had passed since Zhang Huban had last seen Zhao Liya, who was renowned for her beauty and wealth, they would have thought that Zhang Huban was infatuated with her.

  Everyone looked at Zhang Huban's unusual behavior with extremely curious eyes, even threatening to revoke his position as leader. However, no matter what, they couldn't get Zhang Huban to reveal what had made him so meticulous about his appearance. The mysterious smile on Zhang Huban's face before he left made Hu Zhiming and the others grit their teeth in anger, and some of them even had the urge to kill him.

  Actually, Zhang Huban himself didn't know that he had reached his current state, and yet he was nervous about such a small matter. Could it be that he was really feeling anxious about stepping into another completely different life from campus life? Just as Zhang Huban was puzzled by his actions today, suddenly a lazy, charming, and seductive Liu Xijun appeared in his mind, leaving Zhang Huban bewildered.

  Zhang Huban hastily waved away the image of Liu Xijun that appeared in his mind, although Liu Xijun's image had disappeared, but Zhang Huban's Dao heart was stirred up with a ripple. Deep down, he kept asking himself: "Is it because of a woman that I behaved abnormally today?" However, Zhang Huban immediately denied his ridiculous idea. After all, as a high-and-mighty half-immortal being, how could he be moved by an ordinary woman? It must be because he was going to the bar that he naturally thought of Liu Xijun. Zhang Huban was satisfied with this explanation for himself.

  To avoid drawing unnecessary attention and trouble, Zhang Huban rode his bicycle to work. It took him about half an hour from school to the bar, and when he arrived, it was only 5:30. Although it was still early for the bar, it had already opened for business. As soon as Zhang Huban pushed open the door, the first thing that caught his eye was the back of Liu Xijun. Today she wore a pale red cheongsam with embroidery, and the tight-fitting dress accentuated her curvaceous figure to perfection. The slit that extended all the way down to her thighs revealed her snow-white, slender legs, making people's imagination run wild. At least the two male waiters standing in front of Liu Xijun were behaving this way, occasionally glancing sideways at the legs and buttocks tightly wrapped in the cheongsam with their eyes, although they seemed to be listening to Liu Xijun's instructions.

  Jang Ho-bin was also drawn to Yoo Hee-jin's seductive figure, and his heart showed signs of agitation. As Jang Ho-bin entered, the people in the bar flashed a hint of curiosity in their eyes, as it was rare for customers to come so early to drink. And Yoo Hee-jin's next action perfectly answered their doubts.

  When she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, Liu Xiuzhen felt a strange sense of excitement for some reason. It had been a long time since she had dressed up carefully, but for some reason, she had deliberately put on a sexy cheongsam today. Was it to show others that she was still young and had a beautiful figure? Until the sound of the door opening echoed in her ears, Liu Xiuzhen's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Could it be because of him?" However, she immediately dismissed her own ridiculous and absurd thoughts. She was already over 30 years old, with a daughter in tow, while he was just a freshman in college, not to mention his ordinary appearance - how could she possibly have such thoughts?

  After calming down, Yu Xiangzhen turned around elegantly and smiled: "Hupan, you're half an hour early! I won't charge you for this half hour!"

  The lazy and beautiful voice of reproach, the enticing fragrance that rushed into his nostrils, caused Zhang Hu's heart to beat faster uncontrollably. He stood there foolishly staring at Liu Xi Zhen, unsure of how to speak up. Half a moment later, he realized his own rudeness and hastily covered it up by saying: "Xi Zhen sister is really beautiful today, I'm so stunned that I couldn't help but stare!"

  Here is the translation:

  Yu Hui Zhen, a top beauty and single noblewoman, has countless men surrounding her every day, speaking flattering words in hopes of getting close to her. However, Yu Hui Zhen has never been swayed by their flattery and even feels a genuine sense of disgust. If it weren't for the sake of running this bar, she would have chased them away without hesitation. But Zhang Hu Pan's silly and tacky praise made Yu Hui Zhen feel as if she were drinking ice water on a hot summer day - her whole body felt comfortable. With an annoyed expression, she gave Zhang Hu Pan a cold glance, and the resentful look in her eyes, combined with her enchanting demeanor, instantly made all the men present lose their souls! Yu Hui Zhen didn't feel annoyed by Zhang Hu Pan's foolish behavior; instead, she felt a hint of delight. On one hand, it was because although Zhang Hu Pan looked enchanted by her beauty, he didn't reveal any lecherous intentions like other people did. On the other hand, she felt proud that she could still attract Zhang Hu Pan's attention to such an extent.

  "What's wrong with you? Come, let me introduce you to your colleagues!" She scolded, while also giving Zhang Huban a flirtatious glance with her charming eyes. Then she pulled Zhang Huban's hand and brought him in front of everyone.

  When Liu Xizhen pulled Zhang Huban's hand, for the first time holding a beauty's hand, Zhang Huban completely forgot to guard his Taoist heart, and his heartbeat skipped a beat. The touch was soft as if boneless, with smooth and delicate skin, transmitting the unique warmth of a woman from that jade-like hand, making Zhang Huban feel electrified, like sitting on pins and needles, yet unable to help himself.

  At this moment, Liu Xi Zhen was no exception. For the young man who could bring a smile to her daughter's face, she unknowingly regarded him as her own family and friend, rather than just an employee. So she naturally took Zhang Hu Pan's hand. But when she held his hand, the thick palm made her suddenly realize that she had been too intimate. However, she couldn't just let go of his hand immediately after holding it, and the palm felt the man's unique male hormone, which was a hundred-year-old man's hormone, making her heart chaotic and her face flush with a layer of redness. Fortunately, the bar's dim lighting prevented others from noticing. But for a master like Zhang Hu Pan, what difference did day and night make? Liu Xi Zhen's every move, including her inner turmoil, was felt by him without exception. A shy woman is forever the most captivating to men, and at this moment, Zhang Hu Pan was deeply moved.

  "This is our new Zhang Huban, who is currently studying at Zhejiang XX University. Don't bully him just because he's young!" At the same time, Liu Xizhen naturally withdrew her hand, and Zhang Huban couldn't help but feel a little lost.

  The entire process of holding hands was only an instant, but it made the two people feel as if they had gone through a century, as if time had stopped advancing at that moment.

  "This is Shangguan Yun, our bartender! Wang Zheng, Li Da, Guo Xiaolan, Zhou Min..." Liu Xizhen introduced the people in the bar to Zhang Huban. Finally, she handed over Zhang Huban to Zhu Yan, who was responsible for familiarizing him with the environment and service matters.
