Chapter 194 Accompanied by a Wolf
“I’m sorry, Yezi. I shouldn’t have frightened you. Where should we go next?”
Xiao Bing had been having fun with Yezi in the park for over an hour. They took a ride on the roller coaster and the merry-go-round and paid a visit to the haunted house, where Xiao Bing tried to frighten Yezi, but was rewarded with a bruise on his arm after the girl fell into her arms.
“Hmph. That is the price of trying to scare me!”
Xiao Bing smiled with flattery. “Pinching me is okay. But I don’t want you to feel bad about this.”
“What a glib tongue you have.” Yezi could not help laughing. “Brother Bing. Let’s go to the mall.”
“Okay. Let’s go now.”
Xiao Bing then drove Yezi to the car-free street while Liu Kexin and her colleagues went to a club after they left the street.
The club was not so fancy. There were two clubs in Jiang City. One was a fancy place run by Master Hou. The services there required high prices, which normal businessmen could not afford. The people who spent money there were either businessmen with enormous wealth or important politicians.
This club, which was called the Dancing Snakes, was run by the West Heavenly King.
After Master Hou united Jiang City, there were four people who came into his service, namely the East Heaven King, Paint-face; the West Heavenly King, the Snake King; the South Heavenly King, King Kong; and the Peony Fairy, who was the North Heaven Queen.
Among them, the South Heavenly King monopolized the amusement parks and video-game halls, which meant that the video-game hall that Xiao Bing and Yezi had gone to before was run by the South Heavenly King.
The North Heaven Queen owned the only ring in the underground, where Xiao Bing had a death battle with Zhu Mingyu. There were merely two underground rings in the whole Black Province. The other was in H City, the capital of the province.
As for the East Heavenly King, he monopolized the theaters in the city. The profits from them were rather considerable.
As for the Snake King, he only had this club—the Dancing Snakes. Though there was already another club in Jiang City and it was run by Master Hou, which made it seem like the Snake King was competing for business with his boss, the two clubs never had any conflict of interests because their customers were from different groups.
The one that was run by Master Hou was fancier and more expensive than the Dancing Snakes. People with normal wealth couldn’t afford it. Only the billionaires or important political figures could have fun there.
But it was not the same in the Snake King’s club. Though the price was also rather high, it was affordable for the millionaires. And people with more wealth could even come to this place more often. After all, having a pass to this club was a status symbol.
It was the first time Liu Kexin and her friends had come to this place under the invitation of Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang was a frequent visitor to the club. As a millionaire, he could afford the services here. But he didn’t plan to take them all here before he saw Liu Kexin. After all, it was not the same as inviting just one or two friends to have fun here. He felt slightly rueful about the numbers that were about to be showed to him. But he deemed the money worthwhile after he saw the beautiful Liu Kexin.
Zhang Yang originally intended to come here by driving his own car. But there was not enough space for so many people, so he rented a bus. As the characters of the Dancing Snakes got bigger and bigger in her eyes, the young nurse could not help sighing. “Once I heard a classmate boasting that she was invited to this fancy place. It will take several months’ salary to spend one night here.”
The others all cast Zhang Yang a glance of astonishment. Now a nurse’s salary was about 3,000 per month, which meant that the girl’s salary for half a year was 18,000. It would cost 18,000 to spend a night here for just one person? They could not imagine how much would it cost for all of them.
Zhang Yang smiled out of complacency as he noticed the admiration in these people’s eyes. Pretending to not care about the money, Zhang Yang shook his head while smiling. “It doesn’t matter. Just enjoy yourself in this club in anyway. Order whatever you desire. There are few clubs like this in the whole Black Province. It will probably cost hundreds of thousands. But that is nothing to me.”
Most of their mouths twitched, especially the boyfriends of the nurses. They felt uncomfortable when they spotted the envy in their girlfriends’ eyes. But there was little they could do about it. It was impossible for them to spend that much money just to show their generosity.
The bus stopped at the gate of the club. The 13 of them walked into it together and soon were stopped by a good-looking employee. “Good afternoon. Do you all have VIP cards?”
Zhang Yang proudly took out a VIP card and gave it to the employee, who checked the card and told Zhang Yang to wait. He walked to the reception desk with it and gave it to another staff member to check. Then he went back to Zhang Yang and spoke politely, “Mr. Zhang, your balance here is 160,000. According to the regulations of the club, you can bring one of your friends here for free, and the others must buy a temporary card with 20,000 in it. Any excess payment shall be refunded, and any deficiency repaid.”
Zhang Yang bobbed his head and took out his debit card and said, “There are 11 people, not including me and my girlfriend. Give each of them a temporary card and put 20,000 in each card. The money can be transferred from my debit card.”
The staff member took a bow and said, “Mr. Zhang, please follow me to the reception desk to complete the process.”
“OK,” replied Zhang Yang, “All of you, come with me.”
Zhang Yang swiped his card at the front desk and applied for 11 temporary cards. Then he gave one to each of Liu Kexin and her friends. They felt their grips become very heavy because the money on it was worth half a year’s salary.
There were rooms for playing poker, bowling, and billiards, and swimming pools, a gym, restaurants, and karaoke. Everything one could imagine could be found there. They all separated after they went in because they had to spend their time with their lover on Valentine’s Day, but they had set a time when they should meet in a restaurant.
The admiration that Wu Yanhui received was abundant, and she did not feel a thing about the huge sum of money her boyfriend spent. After all, it was not her money and they were not married yet. She could even imagine the way her colleagues would look at her. Her boyfriend invited so many people to such a fancy club, which was a thing she could brag about.
Wu Yanhui intended to have fun with Zhang Yang. However, quite to her surprise, Zhang Yang stood in front of Liu Kexin and the two friends of hers. “Since you all don’t have the company of a boyfriend, why not come with me and my girl. Some services of this club are rather high. I can pay for them if the balance in your account is not enough.”
Zhang Yang seemed to be quite a generous man, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Kexin the whole time.
Liu Kexin and her friends hesitated for a moment. After all, this man had paid all the bills, so it would be impolite if they refused him. Hence, they had to say yes. Though Wu Yanhui felt reluctant, she did not say anything. She had been working hard to hook up with this millionaire and make him happy. She even dreamt of marrying him.
Zhang Yang actually was not a very wealthy man, but it was enough for Liu Yanhui.
Other couples all chose a place to have fun. They all wanted to make the best use of the money given by Zhang Yang. After all, this opportunity was extremely rare for them.
Wu Yanhui was at Zhang Yang’s right side and the three with Liu Kexin were at his left side. Walking next to the cute Liu Kexin, Zhang Yang could not keep his wild eyes on the front. “Kexin, is this job tiring for you?” he asked, smiling.
“It’s not very busy.” Liu Kexin was an innocent girl. She just felt a little embarrassed because she was using someone else’s money. She thought Zhang Yang was just chatting with her. “I like this job. It’s been my dream since childhood,” the girl said shyly.
Zhang Yang grinned. “It’s so kind of you to have such a dream of saving others’ lives. You are a true white-winged angel.”
Wu Yanhui giggled. “Honey, she and her boyfriend put on a beautiful show at a party before. Everyone said that they are meant to be together.”
Wu Yanhui just knew all too well about her boyfriend. She knew what this man was thinking, so she reminded him that Liu Kexin had a boyfriend.
Zhang Yang guffawed. “He does sound like a versatile man. That’s a good thing. However, whoever his wife is will definitely work within a tight budget. The purse she can afford to buy will be much cheaper than my wife’s, and she can’t go to fancy places. And I won’t even allow my wife to work. My wife can just be a housewife and do whatever she desires with my money.”
At this moment, some people spotted Zhang Yang and they greeted him, and Zhang Yang greeted them back one by one. He deliberately cast Liu Kexin a glimpse and said, “Did you see? The ones who are able to get in here are all the upper-class in this city. There’s nearly no one in this city who dares not greet me when he sees me.”
Wu Yanhui held her man’s arm and spoke coquettishly. “Honey, you are the best.”
Zhang Yang smiled triumphantly. Then he whispered in Wu Yanhui’s ears, “Dear, take them to the bowling room. I have something to deal with. I’ll be back soon.”
“What business?” asked his girlfriend in bewilderment.
“I have a surprise for you.”
Wu Yanhui’s eyes brightened instantly. She agreed in all haste and intended to ask the three with Liu Kexin to come with her. However, Zhang Yang suddenly stared at Liu Kexin and said, “Kexin, would you mind coming with me.”
Soon after, the women there all shot him a glance of confusion. Zhang Yang smiled naturally. “I need your help to get something for me. It’s a Valentine’s gift I prepared for Yanhui.”
Although Liu Kexin still didn’t know why Zhang Yang needed her help, she nodded her head with little prudence. However, there was vigilance in Wu Yanhui’s eyes when she watched the two fading out of her sight.
