The company of the wealthy is never lacking in beautiful women, let alone those who are proactively so.
There is a saying from later generations about how gold-diggers view the difference between the rich and the poor.
If they stand still, the rich are considered steady, while the poor are seen as dull.
If they approach beautiful women, the rich are called witty and humorous, while the poor are deemed wishful thinkers.
As long as you are rich enough, even if you do something publicly undignified, it can be spun into something marvelous in the eyes of a gold-digger.
Would someone like Xiao Tianyu be short of women? The answer is obviously no.
Because magnates always have beautiful women by their side when they travel, serving both as eye candy and for business networking.
Therefore, using ordinary, common beauties for this "beauty trap" would not work…
People who are accustomed to drinking high-end red wines like ’82 Lafite might occasionally lower their standards and freely drink beer, but only occasionally.
The general trend and lifestyle habits will eventually settle back on high-end red wine.
Thus, the beauty trap must be unique and outstanding.
The facts proved my idea entirely correct!
Through the handbag Mu Haitang placed on the gambling table, with its pinhole camera facing the entrance to the stairs, I saw the target, Xiao Tianyu, successfully drawn by the commotion downstairs.
According to the prior agreement between Mu Haitang and me, as soon as Xiao Tianyu appeared, it wouldn't matter if he was attracted or not; we would directly initiate the next phase of the plan.
That is: searching for suitable male escorts!
In large casinos, male escorts, much like card sharps, roam among the various gambling tables.
On the surface, they appear to be gambling.
In reality, they are methodically searching for wealthy female patrons.
Casinos employ female escorts to fleece male bosses, while male escorts are specifically tasked with finding wealthy women who, despite possessing vast fortunes, have chaotic personal lives, or can even be described as lonely and cold.
These glamorous, well-dressed wealthy women might be the unfulfilled wives of powerful bosses, the unsatisfied mistresses kept in luxurious seclusion, or perhaps formidable businesswomen who built their empires from scratch…
Regardless of their identity, their purpose in appearing in a male-dominated casino is the same.
To put it nicely, they come to alleviate loneliness; to put it bluntly, they come to seek excitement and pleasure!
Wealthy women who dare to frequent casinos for entertainment possess a vision, a scope, and even a courage that ordinary women cannot match.
The average male escorts from KTVs and clubs can generally not ensnare them.
Only professional male escorts, cultivated with significant investment by the casinos, can achieve complete success.
In the second phase of the plan, I only gave Mu Haitang one clear objective: she didn't need to do anything but to lavishly spend her chips at the gambling table!
No matter what fish you're trying to catch, you must cast enough bait!
To be blunt, if it weren't for the need to play it safe, given Mu Haitang's looks and figure alone, she wouldn't have needed to flaunt her wealth to attract certain male escorts.
As expected!
In less than the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, the Blackjack table where Mu Haitang was seated was not only full but also surrounded by people.
Although many people were aware that a beauty of Mu Haitang's caliber was destined to mingle only with certain magnates, still…
Men are boys until they die! Who doesn't love to see a young and beautiful woman?
Even if they can't have her or touch her, who wouldn't want to get close and feast their eyes?
Within a few minutes of sitting down, Mu Haitang only accepted harmless pleasantries and did not rush to engage any man in conversation.
This was not something I taught her; it is a fundamental skill required of every member of the Orchid Sect.
Beautiful women are never short of admirers, nor of those who offer flattery and solicitous attention.
The key difference between Orchid women and ordinary gold-diggers or "green tea" girls is that Orchid women openly accept the praise and solicitous attention from men.
Unlike gold-diggers, who say "no, no, no" with their mouths but act quickly with their hands.
And unlike "green tea" girls, who say "thank you" repeatedly when accepting compliments and solicitous attention from men, only to discard most of it later.
Men with any social standing have almost certainly experienced these subtle differences and can discern them at a glance.
As women who rank at the very top in terms of skill and status, Orchid women would naturally never make such a basic mistake.
Therefore, Mu Haitang handled the men's overtures and solicitations with ease.
However, she consistently maintained one principle: she would never speak first, responding only with nods or smiles.
Mu Haitang gritted her teeth and remained silent, waiting for the casino's male escorts to take the bait and approach her.
Seasoned male escorts possess a unique skill for communicating and interacting with women of all ages, akin to the more popular term "flirting" in later times.
For women of different age groups, casino male escorts have distinct entry points and opening lines.
Once a male escort successfully engages Mu Haitang in conversation, he will undoubtedly be envied by all the other men and immediately become the target of their collective attention.
And all of this stems from that damned competitive spirit within men!
The logic is similar to how a group of brothers might try to pick up the same girl at a bar.
They take turns, using all their skills to flirt with the same woman, and eventually, one of them succeeds.
Ask yourself: Are you jealous? Are you resigned?
………………
Time passed without a sound.
At the gambling table, the Blackjack game proceeded smoothly and orderly. Mu Haitang, adhering to the persona I had established for her beforehand, always took bold risks when her hand was between 16 and 17 points, and the results were as expected.
She never won!
In less than half an hour, Mu Haitang had lost nearly six figures in chips.
Yet, there was no trace of anxiety or frustration on her face. Instead, she continued to play her cards with an unruffled demeanor.
This composure alone, displayed by Mu Haitang, would allow those in the know to infer that she was definitely not a woman driven by greed, like a mistress.
She was either a high-ranking female executive who orchestrated strategies or a woman from a top-tier family with an excellent background.
Such women are the most favored by casino male escorts.
They are the key to escaping the mire and achieving a clean slate!
Everything was in place, waiting for the opportune moment!
Soon, the opportune moment arrived.
A young man in a perfectly tailored suit, with his hair slicked back, pushed through the crowd of onlookers holding chips and took the seat of a gambler who had just lost all his chips and left.
The hunter had appeared, and his target was clear.
Yet, little did he know that the most skilled hunters often appear in the guise of prey…
