Chapter 22: This Young Master is from the Wang Family of Philadelphia

  Yalan Club is not very famous in the capital, compared to Tian Gong International, it's almost as low as dust. However, people in the circle understand that Yalan Club has a special meaning in the capital. This is a private club for the second generation of the capital, and if you want to join their circle without an introduction from an acquaintance or an extremely strong relationship background, you are not qualified to enter Yalan Club.

  The young people in this club, with huge family resources at their disposal, give each other the green light in both politics and business, mutually beneficial and profitable. Of course, they also take advantage of each other's carelessness to deal a ruthless blow, Yalan Club is a miniature of the upper class society in the capital.

  "When is Ming Qi coming?"

  A man wearing a black casual shirt with sleeves rolled up halfway and his tie loosened to his chest, although looking somewhat casual, exudes a sense of elegance.

  This man is quite handsome, with thin lips, a high nose bridge, and those wise eyes that seem to convey a sense of elegance yet also a hint of inapproachability.

  Several young and beautiful girls surrounded the man, constantly chatting with him, while he responded perfunctorily to each sentence. Although his lack of attention was apparent, no one blamed him, because he was the center of this circle.

  This man, named Su Tian Rong, is also a leading figure among young people for the first time.

  "What's wrong? Is Young Master Su still waiting for Miss Ming Qi?" A man wearing a coffee-colored shirt and black-framed glasses stood behind Su Tian Ran, his eyes scanning the surrounding beauties as he seemingly casually said.

  Su Tianran smiled slightly and said: "Chu Shao, I originally had an appointment with Mingqi to discuss some things, but she is already late for almost half an hour."

  To be honest, among this group of people, Su Tianran's status is extraordinary. If it were someone else asking such a question, he wouldn't have to explain himself at all, but Chu Zhaonan was different.

  Chu Shaonan was already famous at the age of 18. At that time, he took over Chu's real estate and sniffed out the trend before the housing market took off. After a series of dizzying financing efforts, Chu Shaonan built high-end residential buildings with Beijing as the center and began to radiate to surrounding cities.

  All provincial capitals have the presence of Chu's real estate, especially that advertisement is well-known to everyone:

  The capital moves southward, and Zhao Nan builds a city for you.

  About four or five years ago, during the peak of the real estate market, Chu Zhao Nan, the owner of Chu's Real Estate, even became the richest man in Huaxia on the surface. Of course, Huaxia has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and true tycoons would never allow themselves to be listed on any Forbes rich list, nor would they care about such fame. However, for young Chu Zhao Nan, this was a great opportunity to make a name for himself.

  Unlike Su Tianran's low-key style, Chu Zhaonan, a golden talent in the business world, made a grand entrance.

  Afterwards, Chu Zhao Nan, the old boss of Chushang Real Estate, keenly sensed the macro-control flavor of the Huaxia government and immediately abandoned all residential properties, turning to develop commercial real estate. Countless business skyscrapers or high-end office buildings hung up the signboard of Chushang, and these important properties were all located in the central urban area, which once again pushed Chu Zhao Nan's reputation to a peak.

  In the subsequent cold winter of the property market, 90% of real estate companies went bankrupt, but only Chus Property continued to advance vigorously. Chu Zhaonan also defeated his brother Chu Zhaoxi with his brilliant performance over the past few years and successfully took over all of Chus industries, becoming the true heir of the Chu family.

  Chu Shaonan gently swirled the red wine in his cup, seemingly casual as he said: "Miss Mingqi is indeed excellent. To be honest, there are hardly any girls in the entire capital who can surpass her, and she really is a good match for Su Dajie."

  Chu Zhaonan's words were undoubtedly not taken seriously by the women around her, saying they were not as good as Zhang Mingqi. These women naturally felt uncomfortable, but they couldn't say anything in disagreement.

  In the capital, Zhang Mingqi's achievements are plain for all to see.

  "Chu Shaohua has overpraised." A faint, almost imperceptible glint of cold light flashed in Su Tianran's eyes.

  Everyone understands that Su Tian Rang has a crush on Zhang Ming Qi, but others keep it in their hearts and don't say it out loud. Only Chu Zhao Nan had to make it so clear, the most important thing is, everyone knows that Zhang Ming Qi doesn't seem to have any feelings for him.

  "Sū Dà Shǎo, I'm just a rough person, don't take my words to heart." Chǔ Zhāo Nán laughed and said: "As soon as you mention Míng Qí, Míng Qí arrives, the Maserati is parked right at the door."

  Looking at Martha, Su Tian Rong put down the wine glass in his hand and revealed a friendly smile on his face, ready to greet her.

  But before a second had passed, Su Tian Ruo's smile froze on his face.

  At the same time, Chu Zhaonan revealed an extremely playful smile, and it could be seen that this young master of the Chu family was now genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.

  The Maserati's door opened, but the first one to get out wasn't the sexy and intelligent Zhang Mingqi, but a strange man! A man who had never appeared in their circle before!

  Right after that, Zhang Mingqi also got off the car, wearing a stunning white short evening dress, but these second-generation rich kids didn't focus their gaze on her sexy and seductive figure, instead... they focused on her arm.

  Her arm as white as a lotus root was naturally placed on Wang Zheng's arm!

  Bringing an outsider to a banquet and making such intimate moves with them, everyone understood the implication!

  At this time, many people's eyes began to secretly drift towards Su Tianran. Tonight's events were quite interesting, and everyone knew that Su had a good impression of Zhang Mingqi. Now it was time to see how he would handle the situation. Would Zhang Mingqi's actions make this famous young master in the capital extremely embarrassed?

  "Keep your arm on mine, don't let go, that's the small request I made yesterday." Wang Zheng said with a warm smile on his face, but in a low voice to Zhang Mingqi beside him.

  "I didn't expect his small request was to put my arm on his, although it's not excessive, but I really don't understand what he's getting at." Zhang Mingqi looked at the man's profile beside her, feeling quite puzzled.

  She understood that being in such a situation with Wang Zhong's arm around her meant something, Zhang Mingqi knew that Su Tianrang was interested in her, but she didn't have any feelings for him. Although she hadn't agreed, she also hadn't openly rejected him, because she knew about Su Tianrang's power in the capital. But Wang Zhong's move had undoubtedly put her on the opposing side of Su Tianrang, this was an open and blatant rejection of Young Master Su!

  The more high-society it is, the more they care about saving face. Wang Zhong's move was absolutely a slap in the face! A slap in Su Da's face!

  What does he mean by this? Is it really just a superficial satisfaction of having a beautiful girlfriend to feed his vanity?

  Zhang Mingqi felt more and more that something was off, and she felt that Wang Zheng's intentions were not so simple. She wanted to pull her arm out, but didn't think that Wang Zheng seemed to have anticipated this move, and with a burst of strength, he clamped his arm even tighter! No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull it out!

  Of course, from the perspective of the people opposite them, the actions of these two people were extremely intimate, at least they couldn't see Wang Zhong's small movements.

  Su Tianran's face still had a faint smile on it, making it impossible for people to discern his expression.

  "Mingqi, you're here. I don't know who this friend is?" Su Tianran's good-looking eyes turned to Wang Zheng, and for some reason, Zhang Mingqi saw a hint of displeasure in his gaze.

  The higher the social class, the more rigid the hierarchy, and the narrower the circle. If a nouveau riche wants to enter this circle, they not only need an extremely strong political and economic background, but also a good family education, and must make everyone convinced, otherwise everyone will think you are a rustic or a parvenu.

  Zhang Mingqi also knew that bringing Wang Zheng to the banquet today was already a breach of the unwritten rules in this circle.

  "My friend, Wang Zhong, the young master of the Wang family." Zhang Mingqi said this with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth. This was the line she had agreed on with Wang Zhong in the car, and it had to be said that this matter had made the usually serious and business-minded Miss Zhang feel quite amused.

  "King's family? The King's family in Hangzhou?" Su Tianran did not extend his hand, but instead looked into Wang Zhong's eyes. Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes.

  "No, American Philadelphia Royals."

  Wang Zheng said with a straight face, this sentence almost made Zhang Mingqi, who knew the truth, spit it out!

  Philadelphia royalty? What is he thinking? It's a bit too ridiculous!

  Zhang Mingqi felt that things were getting more and more interesting, developing in a direction that was increasingly to her liking. She decided not to pull out the arm that was sandwiched between Wang Zheng's shoulders, but instead cooperated with him to continue acting out the play.

  However, at this time, Wang Zhong let go of Zhang Mingqi's arm.

  "I met Mingqi when she was studying in the United States, and it's been several years since we last saw each other."

  It has to be said that Wang Zheng, after dressing up carefully, is extremely outstanding in terms of temperament, and when paired with his delicate face, he also has an extraordinary lethal power, and several flower-crazy girls are already sneaking glances at him.

  Zhang Mingqi really wanted to cover her mouth and laugh, for a rich young lady who had been working hard since childhood to take over the family business and had no youth entertainment to speak of, Wang Zhong's performance undoubtedly brought her great joy.

  "I see." Su Tian Rong nodded and asked another question: "I don't know if Mr. Wang's visit to the capital this time is for sightseeing or something else?"

  Wang Zheng bluntly took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and swirled it gently.

  "Twenty years ago, the Philadelphia Royals bought two diamond mines in South Africa that have yet to be mined." Wang Zheng's face wore an inscrutable smile: "This time I came to the capital just to take a look at the diamond market and do some simple market research analysis. Of course, the most important thing is to see Ming Qi again - it's been many years, and I've missed her dearly."
