“Your mouth is so sharp, you’ve made Hu Chang Heng’s face turn green.”
Zhou Xiao Bai covered her mouth and laughed. She hadn’t seen her husband so brazenly confront someone in a long time.
…
“I just can’t stand his pretentious act.”
Zhong Yue Min, always outspoken, scoffed and sneered as he watched Hu Chang Heng’s retreating figure.
“Yue Min, what expression do you think he will have when he sees Bao Yu?”
Zhong Yue Min recalled how Hu Chang Heng had once suffered defeat at the hands of Sha Bao Yu, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.
These two had a bit of a history.
Sha Zhen Jiang, a man of routine, was already in bed by eight o’clock.
After making sure he was asleep, Sha Bao Yu, with nothing better to do, decided to head to the Yanjing Club.
It was less than five kilometers away, and he wasn't eager to drive. He figured it would be a good after-dinner exercise, so he strolled over.
After passing Chengtian Gate, he could already see the brightly lit Yanjing Club Tower.
He couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment. The Yanjing Club, which he had casually founded years ago, had grown to this scale.
As he approached the club’s entrance, he noticed two unfamiliar security guards. He immediately dialed Zhong Yue Min’s number.
The Yanjing Club operated on a membership basis, and he had no proof of membership. He was unlikely to get in by simply flashing his face.
He wasn’t fond of playing the “pretend to be ordinary” game.
“Yue Min ge, I'm at the door. Come out and let me in.”
“Bao Yu is at the door.”
Zhong Yue Min, upon receiving the call, didn't bother with explanations. He immediately grabbed Zhou Xiao Bai and rushed out.
“Huh, what are Boss Zhong and his wife up to?”
“They seem to be in a hurry. Did something happen?”
“Are they doing a surprise inspection?”
One of the fellows who had been brought in at the last minute blurted out this question, which immediately sparked a round of laughter.
“The one next to you, his old man is in the Beijing Public Security Bureau.”
“That one's family is in the Beijing Industrial and Commercial Bureau.”
“And that one's family is in the Health Bureau.”
The Yanjing Club, a gathering place for all the privileged children of Beijing, had never faced an inspection in all its years of operation.
Even Hu Chang Heng, who was always trying to put on airs, shook his head.
What a joke. It really lowered the club’s standards.
“Boss Zhong is in such a rush to go out. Could he be expecting some bigwig?”
…
“Boss Zhong is a bigwig himself. Who would be important enough to have him personally greet them?”
Zhong Yue Min’s position in Beijing’s second-generation circle was somewhat detached. As the owner of the Yanjing Club, he had a casual, indifferent attitude towards everyone.
Entertainment options were limited in this era. Many of these idle rich gathered here simply for fun.
For a moment, many of them pressed their heads against the windows, eager to see what was happening.
“Bao Yu, I tell you, what’s the deal? You have to have me escort you into your own property?”
Zhong Yue Min grumbled as he put his arm around Sha Bao Yu’s neck.
“Yue Min ge, we're not class enemies. Don't hit me with the hands of someone who's killed an enemy.”
“Xiao Bai jie, hurry and control your husband.”
“Xiao Bai, this kid took me to watch you take a bath when he was eight years old.
I held him back, giving you a chance to get revenge.”
“Oh, so the two of you are no good either.”
Zhou Xiao Bai soon joined in the playful banter.
As Sha Bao Yu chased and played with these friends he’d known since childhood, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had been transported back to the past.
However, this scene caused a stir within the Yanjing Club.
“Holy crap, did I see that right?”
“My jaw just dropped. Who is that, and how are they so close to Boss Zhong?”
“Damn, Boss Zhong usually ignores me, and now he's playing around with someone?”
“Whoa, even Boss Zhou has joined the fray.”
At this point, it was clear that Zhong Yue Min and Zhou Xiao Bai had gone out to greet someone.
But who could this person be?
How could they be so close to Zhong Yue Min and his wife?
“Is it Li Yuan Chao back?”
“No, Li Yuan Chao is overseas. It can’t be him.”
“Yuan Jun?”
“You’re an idiot, Yuan Jun’s in the army.”
“Then who could it be?”
They ran through the names of all the possible candidates, only to rule them out.
Then, someone suddenly uttered a name.
“Sha Bao Yu. It must be Lao Sha’s Bao Yu back.”
The moment this name was mentioned, the Yanjing Club fell silent.
Everyone couldn't help but sneak glances at Hu Chang Heng, who was sitting in the middle.
Only a few of the new second-generation members were clueless.
“Sha Bao Yu, who is he? Is he famous?”
A name that could cause such a stir.
“Sha Bao Yu, the top young man in Beijing. Who do you think he is? Do you think he’s famous?”
