Chapter 774: Chapter 277: Isn’t She the Demon King We Encountered Before?
"Spending millions in one night, wouldn’t that be worth two houses? Isn’t it better to buy a house with that money?"
Hu Xu sucked in a breath of cold air.
It was too extravagant, beyond his understanding.
Lao Wu came from a poor family, usually scrimping and saving, so he couldn’t even dare to think of such a lavish lifestyle.
"Lao Wu, do you think people like that would be without property?"
Hou Yongjin adjusted his glasses.
"Moreover, this money wouldn’t go to waste. Hosting a high-level private party like this attracts high-status guests, and the connections the host makes are invaluable assets. You might spend a million today, but that could lead to tens of millions in business deals in the future."
Old Two still had some wisdom; reading "Thick Black Theory" wasn’t in vain.
"Alright, I truly don’t get the mindset of the wealthy."
Hu Xu shook his head, still unable to understand.
Zeng Kaiping thought to himself that some private clubs seemed to be able to invite actresses and models. If he really had the fortune that Third Brother spoke of, he’d definitely have to try it someday.
The idea of high-end clubbing already started to take root in the future playboy’s heart, as Zeng Kaiping, whose family was relocated in his past life, particularly liked this kind of lifestyle.
After Su Zelin led everyone into the club, he didn’t stay with them for long because other guests arrived soon after.
Tonight, being the main character, he was destined to be busy.
Nobody minded, as they all understood they were there to expand their horizons, so they started to take photos, eat, drink, and enjoy themselves independently.
"Nanaz Senior."
The junior walked over to Ding Linna, standing beside her: "Tonight, you’ll find out who your biggest enemy is, who is also my biggest enemy."
Nanaz felt a shiver in her heart.
Having just met the junior, and on the night when they and the 302 group watched the World Cup qualifier between the national team and Ah Man, Huang Panpan had already noticed her feelings for Su Zelin and said this line back then.
"Nanaz Senior, you are not my enemy. I only have one enemy."
This sentence, Ding Linna still remembered clearly.
It seemed she knew about the class monitor and his childhood sweetheart long ago.
Nanaz became a bit defiant.
Was that girl really that good?
I refuse to believe that I’m not qualified to be Huang Panpan’s enemy!
This further stirred her competitive spirit, eager to see just what kind of person this main rival was.
Guests arrived one after another.
Aside from the people from the Financial Academy, the quickest was Zhang Yuanhang.
Among the business-related guests around Su Zelin, Young Master Zhang was the lowest-ranked, having just opened a few New Era franchises in Lin’an.
But the kid was sensible, always sending special cigarettes to Su Zelin and inviting him to meals at Pinweixuan. Whenever he went out to play at nightlife spots, whether Su Zelin came or not, he’d still give him a shout. Over time, he became Su Zelin’s drinking buddy.
Having a couple of drinking buddies was fine.
Moreover, Zhang Yuanhang was the first franchise investor of New Era, and his dad had some background, so Su Zelin invited him for his birthday.
"President Su, happy birthday, thank you for inviting me tonight, a small gift to show my respect!"
These days, Zhang Yuanhang relied on Su Zelin to make money, and through connections with gangsters, he met quite a few people of high status that he normally wouldn’t have access to. He almost treated Su Zelin like a father in daily life, coming to the party first to show his respect and presenting a gift.
"Boss Zhang, just coming to have fun is enough, no need for gifts, that’s too polite!"
"Not at all, not at all. It’s rare for you to hold a birthday since you’ve been so low-key before, let me show some small token of appreciation."
"Then thanks a lot. With so many people tonight, I might not be able to attend to everyone, Boss Zhang, please feel free."
"You’re too kind, President Su, it’s understandable, you go ahead and take care of things!"
After some small talk, Su Zelin didn’t linger with Zhang Yuanhang for long, as more new guests continued to arrive.
Tonight, Su Zelin’s birthday party had a mix of guests with varying levels of status.
Among the business-related guests, there were franchise investors like Zhang Yuanhang and allies like Old Ma the Gold Digger.
From the company side, it ranged from Gray Wolf, the after-sales manager of the Financial Academy store, to Yang Fen and Kang Baohong.
University students, wealthy businessmen, government officials...
The venue was teeming with guests, yet clearly divided into several distinct circles.
Just then, three more people arrived: Qin Shiqing, Xiaoyanzi, and Lu Haoran.
They were a bit bewildered by the scene in front of them.
"This place is so big, and there are so many people!"
Although Su Zelin had mentioned that he would invite classmates, colleagues, friends, business partners, and some government officials for this birthday, the reality still exceeded the imaginations of Qin Shiqing and the others.
"You’re here."
Su Zelin quickly appeared before them.
"Su Zelin, your birthday is really a grand affair, I feel like we’re not even in the same world anymore!"
Xiaoyanzi couldn’t help but say.
Back in high school, Su Zelin had almost no friends around him, only a few like them, with average relations with other classmates or roommates. Who would have thought he could become so socially adept after entering university?
"It’s alright, I’m fortunate to have friends who appreciate me."
Su Zelin smiled and suggested: "Why don’t you go over there? My roommates and the girls from the partner dorms, along with Panpan, are all over there."
"Alright, you organize it then."
Qin Shiqing didn’t have any objections either.
They belonged to the university student circle, which made it unsuitable to join other circles.
Arriving at the area where their classmates were.
"Haha, let me introduce you."
"This is Qin Shiqing, my neighbor and childhood friend, and my classmate from elementary, middle, and high school. She’s from Zhejiang University and graduated the same year as us."
Upon Su Zelin’s introduction, all eyes turned to Qin Shiqing.
The Five Jokers already knew her, so they weren’t surprised.
But the girls were quite amazed.
A goddess!
With a simple and elegant presence, like an orchid in an empty valley.
A girl with near-perfect looks and temperament, almost flawless, a top student from Zhejiang University, possessing both beauty and brains!
An undisputed goddess.
So beautiful and elegant, a perfect match in talent and beauty with their class monitor, having grown up as neighbors and childhood friends.
The girls seemed to catch on to something.
Right, during a Christmas party, when asked about his plans, the class monitor said he was going to Zhejiang University for the Christmas show and mentioned he had a ’sister’ who was the host, named Su Shiqing.
So, it wasn’t really a sister, but a dear sister!
No wonder the class monitor, being a male god, never dated any girls at the Financial Academy. It seemed the grass was already spoken for long ago.
Luo Xi and Nanaz’s eyes widened.
Wasn’t she the formidable person they had encountered before?
During the second semester of their first year, at the Academy’s May Fourth Arts Gala, Su Zelin took the stage for the first time.
While entering the venue, Luo Xi was chatting with her roommates and wasn’t watching where she was going, accidentally bumping into a girl.
That girl was as pretty as a powerful rival, even making the class beauty, proud of her looks, feel for the first time overwhelmed by another girl’s presence.
Though it was a fleeting moment, the impression was deep, and after a few years, both instantly recalled it.
Nanaz was even more astonished.
Who would have thought that this formidable girl was the class monitor’s real love!
