Chapter 1288
Let's dance some disco
For dinner, Han Xiaomin invited not only Wang An and his two companions, but also the owners of other shops.
Of these six people, four were couples who owned shops, just like Han Xiaomin, while the other two were women, both married young women around the same age as Han Xiaomin.
Wang An wasn't sure whether they were young women or not, but in this day and age, women of Han Xiaomin's age should generally be married.
Of course, Wang An didn't care whether they were married or not. The only thing he noticed was that the two young women were quite attractive, well, you could say they were really good-looking.
To be honest, their faces weren't particularly beautiful, just pleasing to the eye. But like Han Xiaomin, they were both women with curvaceous figures and a lot of charm.
To put it bluntly, it's about making any man with a bit of ulterior motives want to have something wonderful happen with them, and most importantly, to... you know... you know.
I wonder what Han Xiaomin's purpose was in bringing these two women over for dinner.
During the meal, Han Xiaomin gave a formal introduction to both parties.
When the six people Han Xiaomin invited heard that Wang An and his two companions were from a pharmaceutical factory in Northeast China and had come to purchase medicinal herbs, they were incredibly enthusiastic towards them, clinking glasses with them repeatedly.
The wine everyone was drinking was the famous Wuhejiao wine from BD City in Yi Province. To be honest, it was a really good wine, absolutely comparable to the black soil wine from Heilongjiang Province.
During their casual conversation, Wang An learned that the two couples were medicinal herb wholesalers with whom Han Xiaomin's family had good relations. Han Xiaomin planned to get the medicinal herbs she needed from these two companies.
The two young women were named Yuan Hongmei and Tao Wenjing, respectively.
They were educated youths who went to the countryside with Han Xiaomin. Two years ago, they both became single again because they had to return to the city. Fortunately, they were among the last batch of educated youths and stayed in the countryside for a relatively short time. So, although they got married, they did not have children in the countryside.
However, after returning to the city, for some reason, they have not yet remarried, or to be precise, they have not yet started dating.
As for Han Xiaomin, she didn't have a boyfriend when she was sent to the countryside. The boyfriend she had after returning to the city broke up with her recently for some unknown reason.
Anyway, these three women are now living a carefree and unrestrained life.
After a drinking session, Wang An and Wang Li were fine due to their physical condition, while Mu Xueli, who had a good alcohol tolerance, didn't drink too much but didn't become unconscious.
However, the two older men that Han Xiaomin invited drank themselves into oblivion, and even Han Xiaomin and the other four women had flushed faces from drinking.
In particular, Wang An felt that Yuan Hongmei and Tao Wenjing were radiating a signal that was essentially saying, "Come and play with me!"
That's right, it's this kind of signal, and the signal strength is extremely high. Based on Wang An's experience with women in both his past and present lives, he absolutely cannot be mistaken.
After the dinner ended, everyone was in a good mood. After the two older men's wives helped them home, Tao Wenjing suddenly said to Han Xiaomin, Wang An, and the others:
"It's still early, how about we go dance some disco?"
Tao Wenjing's suggestion was immediately echoed by Yuan Hongmei, who said excitedly:
"Great! It's been a while since I went. If I don't go soon, I'll fall behind them."
After the two finished speaking, Han Xiaomin looked at Wang An.
It was obvious that Han Xiaomin was seeking Wang An's opinion, since Wang An was Han Xiaomin's most important guest at the moment.
The disco of that era was actually the precursor to the dance hall. You would put a tape recorder there, play dance music or songs, and then a bunch of people would just stand there and wildly twist their bodies.
So to be honest, Wang An wasn't really interested in disco at this point. However, not wanting to spoil the fun, and also to broaden Wang Li and Mu Xue's horizons, Wang An still smiled and nodded, saying:
"Okay, let's go dance for a while then."
After Wang An finished speaking, Han Xiaomin immediately showed a happy expression, stepped forward, grabbed Wang An's arm, and walked ahead.
To be honest, alcohol is definitely a catalyst for quickly bringing people closer together, especially when the effects of the alcohol haven't worn off and you're still in a semi-dazed, semi-excited state.
Because of this drinking session, everyone has become good friends and buddies. If those two guys hadn't blacked out, Wang An and the other two might have knelt down and sworn brotherhood with them by now.
This is how it is between men, and it's pretty much the same between men and women.
Anyway, Wang Li and Mu Xueli, these two young people who had never experienced that kind of thing, had already lost themselves a bit. They kept calling Yuan Hongmei and Tao Wenjing "sister" and would put their arms around each other's shoulders from time to time.
As the saying goes, "alcohol emboldens even bears," and Mu Xueli and Wang Li, who usually wouldn't dare to look at a woman twice, have now forgotten what shyness is.
Almost everyone who comes to the medicinal herb wholesale market is either there to sell medicinal herbs or, like Wang An, to buy them. And whether they are selling or buying medicinal herbs, they all share one major characteristic: many of them are wealthy.
Therefore, the area surrounding the entire medicinal herb wholesale market can definitely be described as extremely prosperous, much more so than the urban area of BD City.
There's no way around it; it's impossible for a place where rich people gather not to be prosperous.
Therefore, the area around the entire medicinal herb wholesale market can be described as a vibrant and bustling place.
Soon, Wang An and his group of six arrived at a disco with colorful lights at the entrance.
It has to be said that this kind of place is definitely not for ordinary people to enter; to be precise, it is not for ordinary people to afford to enter.
If you want to go in and play, the entrance fee alone is 16 yuan per person, which is about a month's salary for a temporary worker at this time.
Although Han Xiaomin had just received 4150 yuan in payment for goods, she still looked very distressed when buying tickets.
It costs 16 yuan per person, so it would cost 96 yuan for 6 people. In this day and age, that's an extremely high price.
Besides, she had already spent a lot at the restaurant, with the food and drinks costing her more than 60 yuan.
After buying tickets, we walked through the lobby and entered the dance hall. Inside, a large group of men and women were wildly twisting their arms, legs, and waists to the beat of loud music, which looked quite comical.
Meanwhile, in the dimly lit cubicles around them, couples were already embracing and kissing, but due to the dim lighting, it was impossible to see the crucial details.
However, even through the hazy light, one could see many shirtless men and half-shirtless women.
Of course, many people were already lying on the sofa in a daze, staring blankly at the sky with their mouths half open, as if they were about to ascend to heaven at any moment.
It's obvious these people are playing the "sugar powder" game; they're all doomed sooner or later.
In short, the entire dance hall had now descended into complete chaos.
Led by the staff, Wang An and Han Xiaomin, along with three others, were led into a very small cubicle. (End of Chapter)
