176: Chapter 175: Aggressively Overbearing 176: Chapter 175: Aggressively Overbearing Tenglong Club seemed to be a club under Xie Xing’s management.
Last time they met, Xie Xing had even stuffed a card into his hand, which was said to be the most awesome VIP card.
Anyway, you could consume there without paying, so Song Yun just threw it carelessly into his wallet.
“How come we’re going there?” Song Yun asked with a smile.
“Isn’t the owner that kid Xie Xing?”
“I don’t know, a few rich tycoons came out of our old classmates, probably wanting to show off their social value,” Li Shishi said with a shrug.
“It’s an evening gathering; should we dress up or something?”
Song Yun shrugged indifferently.
Time flew by quickly, and before long it was past six o’clock in the evening.
Xiao Qing and her friends called to say they wouldn’t be coming home for dinner and planned to eat something outside, then go see the nighttime view at the Bund before heading back.
Driving over with a dressed-up Li Shishi, they reached Tenglong Club, which was said to be favored by the top figures in Sunan City.
Just as they were about to enter, the security at the door stopped the car.
“Sorry, sir, this is a private club.
Do you have a membership card?” the security asked very politely.
Song Yun took out the VIP card from his wallet, and the security’s expression changed slightly after taking a look.
Then, with even more respectful attitude, he asked Song Yun and Li Shishi to wait a moment.
After swiping the card to verify their identities, the security returned the VIP card to Song Yun with both hands and said, “Wish you a pleasant evening.”
Look at that, the security at high-end clubs really do have quality and culture; the way they talk is so slick, way more polite than the owners of those street food stalls outside.
At the club’s entrance, Song Yun tossed the car keys to the valet and planned to walk in with Li Shishi.
Just as Song Yun was being escorted by Li Shishi’s arm, a young and beautiful woman approached Song Yun with a smile, “Hello, I am the front desk manager here.
Are you Mr.
Song by any chance?”
“Yes, I am.
Is there something you need?” Song Yun replied.
“Oh, nothing at all, you are one of our VIP guests, and we provide a dedicated set of services for you.
Please allow me to introduce you to the services of Tenglong Club…”
Before the manager could finish, Song Yun interrupted her.
He waved his hand and said, “I already have an appointment here, something about the Taihang private room.
Please take us there.”
The manager nodded and led the way.
Li Shishi whispered to Song Yun, “I didn’t expect you to be so influential outside, even having people accompany you when you go out.”
“It’s my first time here too.
It’s all thanks to this card Xie Xing gave me; he said I should come by when I can to support his business,” Song Yun said with a wry smile.
“Here is the Taihang private room.
I hope you enjoy your evening,” the manager said with a bow as she retreated.
Looking at Li Shishi, Song Yun asked with a smile, “Are you feeling nervous?”
“Nervous about what?
They were a bunch of losers back in school, and they are still a bunch of losers now, just covered in a layer of gold paint,” Li Shishi shrugged dismissively.
Song Yun pushed open the door of the Taihang room with a smile.
The chatter inside came to an abrupt halt, and a dozen or so people sitting in the room now had their eyes fixed on Song Yun and Li Shishi.
“President Li, you’ve arrived.
We, your old classmates, have been waiting for you for quite a while,” a man came forward with a sycophantic smile.
“I’ve always said I hate attending these reunions.
Everyone’s so fake, pretending to be good citizens when they are nothing but peacocks.
And did you hear the honorifics they used on me, huh?
This is definitely not just a simple get-together,” Li Shishi muttered to Song Yun.
“Come take a seat, President Li.
To show respect for you, we haven’t even ordered the dishes yet.”
“Hello, everyone.
The company was a bit busy today, which is why I’m late,” Li Shishi said with a professional smile.
“This is my boyfriend, Song Yun.”
“My, who would have thought President Li would have a boyfriend?
I wonder where Mr.
Song is employed?” A man with slicked-back hair said with a laugh.
Although the man hid it well, Song Yun still detected a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
Damn, this guy is mocking me.
Song Yun was angry but behaved rationally, “I’m just an unemployed bum, nowhere near as impressive as you pillars of the nation.”
Yet the man pressed on with a taunting tone, “President Li, I never knew you had such a taste for not-so-fresh grass.”
Upon hearing this, Song Yun was incensed.
Am I not fresh?
Don’t you see my youthful, dewy face?
Song Yun even felt like plastering his face over the other man’s eyes for a good look.
Li Shishi was even angrier.
Damn it, aren’t you indirectly calling me an old cow?
Am I old?
Joking apart, do you think those ten-dollar facemasks from abroad are just for show?
“I like him; what about it?
I think Song Yun is a hundred times better than you, you little weasel.
You even think you can chase after me?
Dream on for a hundred years,” Li Shishi said without even a glance at the man.
“You…
you shrew,” the man stuttered, pointing at Li Shishi.
Seeing this, Li Shishi leaned against Song Yun and said lazily, “With your little tricks, you’d better go cultivate for a few hundred years.
Don’t think you’re something special just because you run some shell company outside and can’t wait to show the world you’re rich.
For such people, I only have three words: nouveau riche.”
“I am indeed nouveau riche, true, but I have built everything on my own.
Unlike the Li Family who covers the sky with one hand in Sunan City,” the man sneered after taking a sip of tea.
“Looks like the Li Family plans to dominate Sunan City alone, quite impressive indeed.”
“Alright, let’s everyone calm down a bit.
We’re here for a reunion of old classmates; there’s no need for it to get this tense,” a man with spectacles stood up and said, “Nice to meet you, Song Yun.
I’m Li Shishi’s former class monitor.
It’s really amusing today.”
“No worries,” Song Yun felt a good impression towards this reasonable class monitor and was very curious about what kind of status he had to be able to shut up the bastard from earlier.
After everyone had taken their seats, the aforementioned man grabbed the menu, ordered a few dishes, and then turned to the class monitor with a smile, “So where are you making a fortune now, old class monitor?
Have some time to help us out?”
Adjusting his glasses, the class monitor replied, “It’s tough to make money and eat in society today.
If you want to make money, you have to learn to compete.
I have a decent project in hand, are you interested in trying it out?”
