The closed car door blocked the cold wind brought by the snowy night.

Looking at Shen Qiang's disappearing figure inside the Snow Club, Ali, who was sitting next to Ye Xiaolei, said displeasedly, "Xiaolei, you're going to spoil him like this. Men are like dogs, you need to hit them, curse them, and then they'll wag their tails for you. If you keep indulging him, hmph, I don't think you two will last long."

Hearing this, Qian Shanxue frowned.

Ye Xiaolei was stunned, then exclaimed, "Loving someone isn't just about making them happy? Besides, I'm very content now. He has a scent that I've been pursuing for a long time. As long as I can be by his side, everything is fine. As for those things, they're not the entirety of life."

Ali rolled her eyes, "Ha? You're letting yourself relax now, sooner or later you'll end up crying."

"Ali," Qian Shanxue said, "Don't you have something else to do? Should I send you to Doushi Temple to monitor those monks?"

Ali snorted coldly, "I'm just saying the truth, men's behaviors are all written in those tabloids."

Ye Xiaolei slightly frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Senior Ali, if you like Shen Qiang, please be honest with him. If you don't, please stay away. Although you're my senior, Shen Qiang is the most important person in my life. If you continue like this, it will affect our friendship."

Ali raised her eyebrows in displeasure, "Friendship over! You think I care? I'm saying all this for your own good."

Ye Xiaolei was also unhappy, "Senior Ali, it's obvious you're jealous, why must you say it's for my own good?"

"Enough! Both of you, be quiet!" Qian Shanxue said, "I'm very irritated right now. If you continue to argue, I'll transfer both of you away."

Hearing this, Ali and Ye Xiaolei fell silent.

But after a moment of silence, Ali said, "Colonel, I know you're angry because of Wenren Meiqiao's battle declaration, but it has nothing to do with us. We're all trying to help you."

Qian Shanxue looked at Ali coldly and said, "Enough, Ali. Stop talking like that. I can see that Ye Xiaolei and Shen Qiang being together makes you a little frantic, but don't bring your personal emotions into the mission."

"I did not!" Ali loudly retorted.

"Then shut your mouth and stop with the cold remarks. What you're saying might catch Shen Qiang's attention, but believe me, he'll only be disgusted."

Upon hearing Qian Shanxue's words, Ali angrily responded, "Colonel, after this mission, I'll submit my transfer request!"

"You don't need to wait until the mission is over, you can leave now." Qian Shanxue's tone was colder than ever.

Ali was about to cry. She abruptly pushed open the car door, got out, and walked away.

Ye Xiaolei called out twice but couldn't stop her. "Colonel, she..."

"Don't worry about her!" Qian Shanxue said coldly, "If working together leaves her feeling this uncomfortable, it's better to let her leave immediately. Alright, pay attention to the observation."

Soon, the car fell into silence.

Meanwhile, inside the Snow Club on the first floor.

Looking at the luxurious décor and the various cigars displayed in the showcases,

Shen Qiang felt quite helpless.

If it were about medicines or antiques, Shen Qiang would be an absolute expert.

But he felt helpless with these cigars.

If cigars improved with age, then picking the oldest one from hundreds wouldn't be difficult for Shen Qiang, but unfortunately, cigars aren't necessarily better the older they are. Otherwise, adverts would surely boast of century-old cigars.

At the same time.

Shen Qiang extended his Divine Sense, also observing the situation on the club's first floor.

In fact, the entire first floor of the club looked like a high-end cigar shop, with five foreigners dressed in shirts and bowties, seemingly sophisticated, serving as sales clerks, one security guard, and several other customers like Shen Qiang who appeared to be casually browsing, all dressed immaculately.

What caught Shen Qiang's attention more was the presence of three young women casually walking around, seemingly looking at cigars, but Shen Qiang could clearly sense that they were paying more attention to people.

Moreover, a stylishly dressed young woman seemed to intentionally edge closer to Shen Qiang.

She then pretended to accidentally bump into Shen Qiang with her back, acting as if she were about to fall. Shen Qiang naturally and gentlemanly held her to prevent her from falling, but he was genuinely surprised when she adjusted her body to intentionally press her ample chest against his arm.

Thus, when Shen Qiang looked at her in shock, she quickly pulled away from his arm and apologized nervously, "Sorry, thank you."

Shen Qiang chuckled.

The girl before him had a nice figure. If the perfect score for beauty is ten, she would score at least eight in terms of looks.

She is very pretty.

As for her acting, haha, would barely score six.

But in terms of temperament, Shen Qiang wouldn't even look at her, because no need to compare with the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing; even Xin Xiaoting or Su Xiaonuan could outshine her.

Still, Shen Qiang had to figure out what this beauty wanted.

So Shen Qiang slightly smiled, "It's alright."

Seeing Shen Qiang was not as enthusiastic as she expected, the young beauty immediately smiled and said, "Sir, I'm here to choose cigars for my boss. He has a very bad temper, and if I can't choose the right cigar, I'll lose my job. But I know nothing about cigars. Could you help me select one that is dignified, tasteful, and not too expensive..."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang's smile grew. Becoming more certain, he responded calmly, "Why not ask the staff nearby? They are more professional than me."

The young beauty was startled, then quickly covered it up, "Oh, they're club staff, so they'd recommend the not-so-popular ones to me. I noticed your demeanor and taste and thought you could help. If it's really too difficult for you, then forget it. Sorry to bother you."

Seeing the woman appearing to play hard to get, saying she was about to leave but not moving an inch, Shen Qiang couldn't help but smile, "Alright, I'm soft-hearted. As a gentleman, I shouldn't refuse a request from a beautiful lady."

Then he glanced at Bianyi, who had just entered the Snow Club.

Shen Qiang smiled at the woman before him and said, "I'll ask my good friend to help you choose a nice cigar."
