81: Familiar figure

When Chen Li brought this news back to the Dormitory, Wu Qiang and the others clapped and cheered in excitement.

“Scum like that should have been sent to step on sewing machines long ago,” Zhang Yixi said satisfyingly.

“Brothers, let's go celebrate.”

Chen Li proposed, feeling in high spirits.

“Alright! Where is our local tycoon taking us to live it up?”

Zhang Yixi immediately perked up.

“Let's find a club and experience some high-end club services. I'll get in touch right now.”

As Chen Li spoke, he dialed Liang Siqi's number.

He hadn't had the chance to use this personal lifestyle butler provided by the Bank yet.

“Mr. Chen, it is a pleasure to serve you.”

Liang Siqi's gentle and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.

Having finally received a call from Chen Li, her tone carried a hint of unconcealed joy.

As the Bank's top-tier VIP client and such a young billionaire, she had long been looking forward to serving Chen Li.

“I'm looking for a high-end club that offers dining and massage services, where I can bring three friends. Do you have any recommendations?”

“Please wait a moment, I will look that up for you immediately.”

Not long after, Liang Siqi called back: “Mr. Chen, I recommend the ‘Jade Emperor’ Club.

This is a membership-only club; a membership can be activated with an initial deposit of five hundred thousand yuan.

Members can bring friends; each person's consumption per visit is five thousand yuan, deducted from the deposit, and you enjoy twenty-four-hour service.

Except for massage items which are charged separately, all other dining and entertainment facilities are free.”

“Fine, let's go with that one. Arrange a car to pick us up at the entrance of Qiongzhou University.”

“Certainly, Mr. Chen. I will drive to pick you up personally.”

After hanging up, Chen Li and Zhang Yixi's group quickly requested leave for the next morning, preparing to enjoy themselves thoroughly.

Before long, a black Mercedes-Benz SUV pulled up at the school gate.

Liang Siqi stood by the car and waved with a smile when she saw Chen Li.

She was wearing a standard Bank uniform—a white shirt paired with black trousers—but the well-tailored professional attire couldn't hide her graceful Figure at all.

Her Figure score of 89 points indeed lived up to its reputation; her curvaceous silhouette, slender waist, and exquisite, capable face made her the ultimate beauty of the workplace.

“Who is this?” Zhang Yixi asked curiously.

“The assistant I hired,” Chen Li brushed it off lightly.

But this explanation didn't stop them from admiring the outstandingly elegant beauty before them... The black Mercedes-Benz slowly pulled up in front of a magnificent building. As Chen Li and the others got out of the car, they were stunned by the sight.

The four gilded characters for ‘Jade Emperor Club’ hung high above the grand entrance, shimmering with a low-key yet luxurious light under the lamps.

The entire storefront was designed to be modern and grand, with dark glass curtain walls reflecting the street scene, making it impossible to see inside and adding a touch of mystery and nobility.

Before even stepping inside, it felt as if one could already smell the faint fragrance drifting out and sense that exclusive ‘no unauthorized entry’ atmosphere.

Liang Siqi had clearly done her research in advance.

She led the group through the revolving doors, where the cool air conditioning and soft background music immediately isolated them from the hustle and bustle outside.

At the front desk, several staff members in sophisticated uniforms were already waiting with professional smiles.

Without unnecessary pleasantries, she spoke quietly with the front desk manager for a few moments and then efficiently completed all the procedures.

The entire process was seamless, and in just a few minutes, a heavy gold membership card was respectfully handed to Chen Li.

“Mr. Chen, everything has been arranged. You and your friends can head straight in; there will be dedicated service staff to guide you inside.”

“Good, thank you for your hard work. We'll head in now; you can go about your business.” Chen Li took the card and nodded.

“Very well, Mr. Chen. I wish you and your friends a pleasant time. Please contact me anytime if you have any needs.”

Liang Siqi once again displayed her impeccable professional quality, then turned and walked away with brisk steps.

Chen Li gripped the heavy gold card and turned to smile at Zhang Yixi and the others, who were already dazzled: “Let's go, brothers, let's relax today.”

Chen Li had heard Meng Yu mention the clubs she visited with Li Tingting and the others, but he never had a concrete concept of it.

It wasn't until he walked in personally and received a detailed introduction from the well-trained waiters that he truly understood what a high-end scene was.

The dining area of the entire club was like a museum of top-tier ingredients.

Looking around, from freshly shucked oysters to Australian Lobster, from Japanese wagyu beef to Yunnan Matsutake Mushrooms, and even caviar shimmering with a black pearl-like luster... it was a feast for the eyes.

He couldn't even name many of the ingredients; just looking at the exquisite plating and unique appearance, he knew they were worth a fortune.

The group looked like they had just come from the countryside, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

“Holy crap, Qiangzi, look!”

Guo Zihong tugged hard on Wu Qiang's arm, pointing at the buffet table. “Is that a Black Gold Abalone? It's huge!”

“Brothers, come look at this shrimp!”

On the other side, Zhang Yixi also exclaimed, “It's dark red, almost black. What breed is this? I've never seen it!”

“And this King Crab... these crab legs are almost thicker than my arm!”

Amidst the group's shocked exclamations of admiration, Chen Li had already impatiently picked up a plate and started selecting the food he liked.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit, grabbing their 'eating tools' and preparing to feast with gusto.

They specifically picked the items that looked the most expensive; their posture clearly showed they were determined to eat back the five thousand yuan per person cost.

In a high-end place like the Jade Emperor Club, most of the people coming and going were elegant members of the upper class.

They came here for the mood and atmosphere.

A common scene was a large bone china plate delicately garnished with just a small spoonful of translucent caviar,

paired with thin soda crackers and a slow sip of champagne—this was what they called the ‘art of dining’.

However, Chen Li's table had a completely different style, becoming a literal ‘sight’ in the club.

Their plates were piled as high as small mountains—huge Lobster claws, whole King Crab legs, a full plate of Black Gold Abalone slices... guests at the surrounding tables couldn't help but cast glances, some chuckling behind their hands, others showing blatant surprise and amusement.

But Wu Qiang and the others didn't care about these strange looks at all.

What upper-class rules, what elegant dining etiquette? To them, none of it was as enticing as the actual delicious food in front of them.

Anyway, with a tycoon brother like Chen Li backing them up, they just focused on digging in and eating to their hearts' content!

Thus, under everyone's watchful eyes, a table of delicacies comparable to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast was laid out,

and the young men immediately began devouring it like a whirlwind, eating with absolute gusto.

Chen Li was also unceremoniously picking up a large Cheese-baked Lobster, dipping it in sauce, and enjoying it in large bites.

Just then, his peripheral vision inadvertently caught a familiar Figure walking gracefully past the corridor at the restaurant entrance...
