Chapter 124 - The Male Host Interview

“Hmm... this seems to be the place.”

On a bustling and lively commercial street, Meizhi looked up at the storefront before him.

Hanging high on the shop's sign were the four large, flashing neon words: 'House of Service.' The black, gilded glass door was etched with dark patterns of intertwined thorns and roses, and the door handle shone with a dazzling golden color, as if made of gold.

On both sides of the entrance were posters of handsome men in various styles. Each man in the posters seemed to be looking directly out at every passerby on the street. Below each poster was the man's own signature promotional slogan.

【Only for your, my honey~】

【My life blooms only for you.】

【It's all my fault, for making you fall for me.】

【I am searching for a world with you in it.】

Similar slogans appeared one after another; almost every man on the posters had his own unique slogan and name.

However, although the men on these posters were all handsome and charming, when Meizhi stood in front of the store, all the handsome men in the posters were instantly eclipsed.

The women passing by on the street were no longer drawn to the men in the posters; instead, all their gazes converged on him.

Meizhi ignored the gazes of the surrounding women and stepped directly into the host club.

Inside the host club, dim lighting enveloped the entire space. A cloying, sweet scent of alcohol lingered in the air, and a cozy, languid piano melody echoed in one's ears, as if causing every guest who entered to be unconsciously intoxicated by the relaxed atmosphere and to blend right in.

However, it was still early, so there were no customers in the club, only a few junior hosts leaning against the counter, chatting idly.

Seeing Meizhi enter the club, the men's faces showed their surprise, but they quickly recovered.

“You're here for the interview today, right?”

“Then come with me. Brother Huang is waiting for you.”

The junior host beckoned and led him toward an office in the back.

In the office, a young man with gelled hair and a very refined style of dress was sitting on the sofa.

The moment he saw Meizhi walk into the room, the man was startled and involuntarily stood up from the sofa.

The club was short-staffed. While looking through resumes, he had accidentally seen Meizhi's photo and was instantly captivated.

Although it was highly likely that the photo on the resume had been heavily Photoshopped, he couldn't suppress his curiosity. With the thought of at least meeting him once to see, he had sent him an interview invitation, all the while preparing himself for disappointment.

He never expected that upon meeting, the man himself would be just as handsome as in the photo!

As the owner of this host club, he himself had once been a star attraction who was all the rage. He had seen countless stunningly handsome colleagues, but never had a man's handsomeness shocked him !

Especially that beauty mark under the corner of his right eye—it was simply perfectly placed, adding a touch of a noble lady's elegance and the bewitching charm of a nation-toppling beauty to his handsome face.

As a man, just meeting his gaze for a second made his own heart faintly skip a beat…

If it were a woman, who could possibly resist!

“Brother Huang, I brought the guy. Brother Huang?”

Seeing the manager staring blankly, the junior host waved a hand in front of his face.

Huang Xiang snapped back to his senses, waved the junior host away, and gestured for him to leave.

After the junior host left, he walked a full circle around Meizhi, sizing him up and nodding repeatedly in approval.

“Yes! Your figure is also perfect!”

With that, he enthusiastically beckoned for Meizhi to sit down and extended his hand.

“My name is Huang Xiang, and I'm the owner of this host club. My codename is Huang. You can call me Brother Huang like everyone else, or just Manager.”

Meizhi glanced at the hand Huang Xiang extended toward him and, after a moment's hesitation, shook it in response.

Although he disdained shaking hands with a mere mortal, in order to find a job now and to help ease Lord Demon Sovereign's financial burden, this was a necessary act of forbearance.

“You're Meizhi, right? You should know what kind of work we do here, correct?” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NovєlFіre.net

After the simple greeting, Huang Xiang got down to business.

“I know. It seems to be the job of pleasing women?”

“Correct! As professional hosts, our club's motto is 'The Way of Service'—to offer the ultimate service to every guest who arrives, to satisfy them, to make them happy, so that they can forget all their troubles when they come here!”

“And when necessary, a small sacrifice is also required!”

Huang Xiang spoke with passion, his sharp eyes fixed on Meizhi.

“Since you know the nature of our work, why do you still want to become a host?”

“Because the salary you're offering seems quite high.”

Meizhi said bluntly, without beating around the bush.

Huang Xiang was taken aback by his directness.

“You may have misunderstood. Although the salary I listed online is high, a host's salary is related to his own value.”

“The difference in pay between a famous host and an unknown one is huge.”

“If you can please women, win their affection, and make them willing to spend money on you, you will naturally earn more. But if not...”

“I know. If it's just a matter of making women happy, I should be quite good at it.”

Meizhi's face was calm, his words without a ripple. For a moment, Huang Xiang didn't know if he was joking or being serious.

This guy is so confident!

But with his looks, he certainly has the capital to be confident…

“Let me ask you a presumptuous question. How many girlfriends have you had?”

Meizhi shook his head.

This was completely unexpected for Huang Xiang.

This handsome, and he's never had a girlfriend his whole life?!

As a host, two points are the most important and the most critical.

First is looks. A handsome appearance is what attracts the female patrons and makes them request you.

The other aspect is the ability to communicate with women. Just being handsome isn't enough; you also have to know how to talk, how to win a girl's affection, and be able to provide emotional value.

A person who has never had a girlfriend generally has a hard time understanding how to please women.

Huang Xiang's brow furrowed slightly, feeling troubled over the decision of whether to hire Meizhi.

Meizhi's looks could be described as divinely handsome; he would be the absolute star attraction at any host club he went to!

He had plenty of hosts at his club, but he was missing that one top-tier star to be the main draw, and as a result, business was just lukewarm.

But he was also worried that since Meizhi had never had a girlfriend, he wouldn't know how to interact with women…

Just then, a junior host ran into the office with a panicked expression.

“Brother Huang, that client... she's here again…”

Huang Xiang frowned, his face troubled.

Recently, a new client had been coming to their club. From the way she dressed, she was clearly a wealthy patron.

But she had a difficult and shrewish personality, always making all sorts of unreasonable demands. If she wasn't satisfied, she would fly into a rage on the spot.

Almost every host in the club had taken a turn trying to serve her, but none had been able to satisfy her.

Huang Xiang looked at Meizhi, and a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind. An idea was born.

“Perfect timing. We have a client who just arrived. Why don't you give it a try?”

To know if he's suited to be a host, the best way is to test him in a real situation!
