191: Chapter 191 She caught Qian Xiuwen's eye

Qian Xiuwen adjusted his sunglasses with a finger and continued walking into the bar on his own.

Seeing the commotion at the bar's entrance, Cheng Hong hurried out to greet him.

After all, Qian Xiuwen was a Black Gold Card client at her establishment.

Cheng Hong certainly had to make sure his reception was top-notch.

"Young Master Qian, long time no see!"

"I happen to have two Black Gold Card private rooms available today."

Hearing this, Qian Xiuwen was displeased.

"Every time I come here, don't I book the entire floor of rooms?"

"Are you telling me to squeeze in and play with others this time?"

The young master of the Qian Family naturally had his own unique style.

The Black Gold Card private rooms in Cheng Hong's bar were on a separate floor.

In the past, whenever Qian Xiuwen came to have fun, no matter how many people he brought, he would book the entire floor.

He would also clear out all unrelated personnel, including staff, sending them downstairs.

Someone of Qian Xiuwen's status and position was especially particular about his privacy.

What if, while he was enjoying himself with a girl on each arm, some busybody took a picture?

And then posted it online?

Then his painstakingly cultivated image as an ascetic, domineering CEO would be ruined in an instant.

Although the Qian Family had the power to quell public opinion, it would ultimately require a considerable cost.

Therefore, Qian Xiuwen had grown accustomed to booking the entire place every time.

It made him feel more secure.

Moreover, previously, Cheng Hong's bar only had Qian Xiuwen as its Black Gold Card member.

So no one competed with him for these exclusive Black Gold Card member rooms.

They were essentially his private rooms.

But Qian Xiuwen hadn't expected that today, Cheng Hong would tell him only two Black Gold Card member rooms were left.

Was she asking him, the young master of the Qian Family, to share a venue with others? Seeing Qian Xiuwen's darkening expression, Cheng Hong offered an apologetic smile and explained.

"Young Master Qian, here's the situation."

"Two rooms were booked by another Black Gold Card member today."

"He reserved them with me this morning."

"I didn't know you were coming tonight at the time."

"Now, some of their group have already arrived."

"What do you think..."

Qian Xiuwen ignored Cheng Hong's explanation.

His gaze, filled with ill intent, swept harshly over Cheng Hong's impressive curves.

"Since when did you have another Black Gold Card member here?"

"Which family's young master is it?"

"Tell me."

"Let me see if he's worthy of being your Black Gold Card member."

If someone else had said this, it might have sounded a bit too pretentious.

But coming from Qian Xiuwen's mouth, it simply sounded like a statement of fact.

Throughout the entire city of Nanjing, probably no one was qualified to share the same title as the young master of the Qian Family.

Many bars were aware of this, which was why they specifically created exclusive membership tiers for Qian Xiuwen.

The Black Gold Card membership here at Cheng Hong's place was originally set up solely for Qian Xiuwen.

But after Cheng Hong had interacted with Lin Yi, she concluded that Lin Yi's financial resources were definitely no less than Qian Xiuwen's.

Moreover, that day, Lin Yi had stepped in to help Cheng Hong, teaching a lesson to a few Koreans who were trying to take advantage.

This naturally made Cheng Hong feel more favorably disposed towards Lin Yi.

Add to that the fact that Cheng Hong now harbored feelings of admiration for Lin Yi, so today, there was no way she would make Lin Yi and his group cancel their reservation just because of a few words from Qian Xiuwen.

"Young Master Qian, today's situation is entirely my fault."

"I should have asked in advance if you were coming tonight."

"How about this, another day I'll make it up to you properly!"

"And from now on, all your consumption here will be 50% off!"

Qian Xiuwen narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.

"Do you think I care about a little money like that?"

"Do I need you to give me a discount to afford playing at a bar?"

"Hmph."

"So you're saying you're unwilling to help me clear out those two rooms, is that it!"

"Fine, I want to see who has such a big reputation."

"That you'd rather offend me than stop protecting him."

After saying this, Qian Xiuwen headed towards the private room where Su Ming and the others were.

Cheng Hong hurried forward, trying to block his way.

"Young Master Qian!"

"Young Master Qian, please don't go over there!"

"Everyone's here to have fun, harmony brings prosperity!"

"Today's matter was my mishandling."

"How about this, calm down. Today, I'll drink with you! I'll stay as long as you drink!"

Seeing Cheng Hong blocking his path with her arm, Qian Xiuwen frowned deeply and roughly pushed her arm aside.

The implication in Cheng Hong's words was clear.

She would rather personally accompany Qian Xiuwen for a few drinks herself than offend the other Black Gold Card client.

This made Qian Xiuwen even more furious.

Cheng Hong's looks were widely acknowledged as top-tier among the circle of wealthy young masters in Nanjing.

Many young masters came to the Starry Night Bar specifically because of this beautiful proprietress.

But Cheng Hong, including for Qian Xiuwen, generally wouldn't accompany clients for the entire duration of their drinking.

At most, out of courtesy, she might drop by briefly, offer a few toasts, and then leave.

But now, Cheng Hong had actually volunteered to stay and drink with Qian Xiuwen for as long as he wanted tonight.

This would have been utterly unthinkable in the past.

Therefore, Cheng Hong's words completely ignited Qian Xiuwen's competitive spirit.

He was determined to see just who could make Cheng Hong so steadfastly protective.

Once Qian Xiuwen got angry, Cheng Hong was absolutely powerless to stop him.

She could only watch helplessly as Qian Xiuwen angrily pushed open the private room door.

*Bang!*

The door slammed heavily against the wall.

The girls in the room, who had been chatting and laughing, were instantly startled.

They had initially thought it was Lin Yi arriving.

But upon closer look, they realized it was a strange man.

And the aggressive way he pushed the door open clearly signaled he meant trouble.

"You are... Qian Xiuwen?"

Su Ming stood up, carefully studying the newcomer.

She had seen Qian Xiuwen a few times from a distance before, when attending business banquets with her father.

However, at most, they could only be considered acquaintances who had seen each other, with no other interaction.

"Did you book this room?"

Qian Xiuwen didn't recognize Su Ming.

Su Ming shook her head.

"Not me, it was booked by my... friend."

"What's the matter?"

Qian Xiuwen scanned the room under the dim lighting.

Nine girls were sitting neatly in the room.

And whether it was their looks or figures, they were all quite exceptional.

Far superior to the minor internet celebrities and streamers he usually played with.

A new idea suddenly occurred to Qian Xiuwen.

"This floor is booked by me tonight."

"Pack up your things and go play downstairs."

"Or... if you don't want to leave, that's fine too..."

"Alright, let's not say I'm bullying you or not giving you face."

"I'll give you an opportunity."

"Tonight, you girls can drink with me."

"As long as you make me happy, all of this is yours!"

Qian Xiuwen clapped his hands.

Two of his underlings opened the briefcases they were carrying and placed them on the table.

Everyone's gaze followed.

Inside the briefcases were stacks upon stacks of cash.

When Qian Xiuwen went out to have fun, he loved to create these kinds of stakes.

What he loved most was watching girls vie for his rewards, flattering him with all sorts of coquettish and fawning gestures.
