On the way to the Golden Classic Business Club, the two of them discussed the role Chu Ge needed to play, positioning him as a very low-key wealthy heir. This seemingly coincidental event was actually an important part of He Qing's plan.
Over ten minutes later, Chu Ge drove the car to the entrance of the Golden Classic Business Club. Just as he stepped into the lobby, he saw a familiar face.
The person was momentarily stunned by He Qing's beauty but quickly snapped back to reality, focusing his gaze on Chu Ge and respectfully called out, "Young Master Chu."
Looking at this person in front of her and then at Chu Ge, He Qing couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
She really hadn't expected that appearing with Chu Ge, he would actually attract even more attention than she did. And from the person's attitude, it was clear that he was showing a high degree of respect to Chu Ge.
This person was none other than Shen Houfu, the owner of the Roman Holiday Nightclub, which was also his business, like the Golden Classic Business Club.
"Young Master Chu, your distinguished presence here truly brings glory to my humble place. I am really grateful for what you did before, and I don't even know how to express my gratitude."
Originally, Shen Houfu was sitting on the sofa in the lobby. As soon as he saw Chu Ge, he immediately stood up to greet him, speaking humbly while secretly glancing at He Qing beside Chu Ge, amazed by her beauty and admiring Chu Ge's skills in attracting women.
Though he himself ran a nightclub and had seen countless beautiful women, none could compare to He Qing beside Chu Ge.
Looking at Shen Houfu's extremely humble and grateful demeanor, Chu Ge felt speechless, thinking, I basically didn't help you with anything, but instead scammed you out of fifty thousand yuan, right?
However, since Shen Houfu was showing such an attitude, Chu Ge didn't need much thought to know that his previous troubles must have been resolved, hence the assumption that he had helped.
Of course, while Chu Ge knew perfectly well what was going on, he couldn't say it out loud. He just gave a light smile and nodded with an air of authority, "You're too kind, Boss Shen, it was just a trivial matter."
Seeing Chu Ge speak so lightly, Shen Houfu admired him even more. This is indeed a great figure. What was a huge problem for him was just a trivial matter for Young Master Chu.
"Young Master Chu, unspoken gratitude is the best kind. For you to grace my place with your presence is my greatest honor. Please accept these two Supreme Diamond Cards."
As he spoke, Shen Houfu pulled out two Supreme Diamond Cards from his bag, one for the Roman Holiday Nightclub and one for the Golden Classic Business Club.
The so-called Supreme Diamond Card is essentially the top-tier membership card, allowing one to eat, drink, and entertain for free without spending a penny.
It must be said that these two cards are incredibly high in value, things that money can't procure, only available from the proprietor, Shen Houfu. He only hands them out to whom he considers the most distinguished guests.
The consumption level at the Roman Holiday Nightclub is already high, but it doesn't operate on a membership system. In other words, as long as you have money, you can play there whether or not you're a member. However, unlike Roman Holiday, only members can enter the Golden Classic Business Club, and the threshold is high.
At the Golden Classic Business Club, just the annual fee for an ordinary Golden Card is half a million, and the identity of the members is very strictly defined. The annual fees for the platinum card and diamond card above the golden card skyrocket to a staggering one million and two million, respectively. The expenses inside make the average person wince just thinking about the figures.
In the whole of Lidu City, the number of members holding the Supreme Diamond Card of the Golden Classic Business Club can be counted on two hands.
Seeing Shen Houfu handing the two Supreme Diamond Cards to Chu Ge with both hands, He Qing couldn't help but find it amusing. In her hand, she only had one diamond card, yet Chu Ge received two permanently valid free admission tickets from the owner without a problem.
Moreover, Chu Ge's acting skills were commendable, adept at whatever role he played. The demeanor he exhibited now was even more convincing than a real rich second generation.
"Miss He?"
Just as Chu Ge, feeling helpless, accepted the two Supreme Diamond Cards, pondering how Shen Houfu would react if he knew that his troubles being resolved had nothing to do with him, a woman's voice sounded from behind.
Turning around, he saw two tall, fashionably dressed young women removing their sunglasses.
By the looks of it, these two women must be the celebrities He Qing had invited.
As Chu Ge glanced sidelong, the two women were staring blankly at the two Supreme Diamond Cards in his hand. They were from Lidu City, and although they weren't always in Lidu due to work commitments, they knew what these two Supreme Diamond Cards represented.
He Qing nodded slightly at the two women to greet them and felt very satisfied as she noticed their gaze.
She had intended to introduce Chu Ge to them today, and now it was perfect timing. Just those two Supreme Diamond Cards had already left the two celebrities somewhat stunned. Such a scene was far more convincing than her simply introducing Chu Ge as a wealthy young man.
"You two... aren't you Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan?"
At this moment, Shen Houfu also turned his gaze toward the two women, asking with a bit of astonishment.
Although, given Shen Houfu's age and financial status, he had long lost any interest in idol worship, seeing these two, whom he had only seen on TV before—not exactly A-list but also considered second-tier actors—still felt quite refreshing.
He Qing nodded slightly, and Shen Houfu's voice and tone also confirmed the identities of these two people. Chu Ge lightly coughed and said to Shen Houfu, "Boss Shen, these two are my guests; could you please arrange a private room for us?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Houfu immediately came to his senses, realizing he had somewhat lost composure in front of Chu Ge. He quickly nodded apologetically to Chu Ge, "Young Master Chu, please follow me upstairs."
After speaking, the boss himself accompanied Chu Ge, He Qing, and the two second-tier actresses Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan up the elevator to arrange one of the most luxurious private rooms there, ordering the highest standard of reception. Some fruits and snacks, as well as some appetizers, were sent into the room.
The private room was lavish, with all sorts of entertainment facilities featuring top-notch equipment. It looked modern and exuded a sense of simple yet grand business style.
Once the four entered the room, He Qing introduced each person.
"Ladies, let me introduce you to my cousin, Chu Ge. Cousin, this is Chen Jiatong, and this is Xu Jingyuan, both online sensations from last year with quite a fan following online."
Being an online sensation, with many fans, may sound glamorous, but in reality, once offline, there's nothing particularly special about it. So both Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan took advantage of the internet's momentum to embark on a path towards the entertainment industry.
However, after entering this industry, they discovered that matters were more complicated than they had heard. To become famous, they had to make many sacrifices.
The two of them found the industry somewhat unsettling but were reluctant to abandon this path. At this awkward moment, He Qing found them, and they couldn't have been happier.
Not to mention, the little they learned of He Qing's financial prowess, and knowing the involvement of big names like Fa Ge and Xing Ye, filled them with immense hope.
That is why they were willing to come to Lidu City this time, to become exclusive artists under Tianjiao Film and Television and serve as image ambassadors for He Qing's upcoming company.
Originally, they were fretting over one thing—though their looks were undoubtedly very good, compared to He Qing, they paled in comparison. Meaning they couldn't leverage their feminine charm, and likely couldn't gain as much favor from He Qing.
Until now, with the appearance of Chu Ge, they immediately began to see possibilities. Their appearance might not work on He Qing, but it was much easier to make an impression on a man.
Since Chu Ge was He Qing's cousin and respected by the boss here to such an extent, even giving him a Supreme Diamond Card voluntarily, it evidently signified Young Master Chu's extraordinary status.
Controlling their excited thoughts, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan proactively approached Chu Ge and shook hands with him in turn.
Though they each had some intentions, they did not take any overt actions. After shaking hands appropriately, they sat on the sofa next to Chu Ge and He Qing once they settled down.
He Qing, sitting with Chu Ge, handed him a drink with a straw and said, "Cousin, I remember you mentioning that you often surf the internet in your spare time. But from the looks of it, you don't seem familiar with these two online beauties who transitioned to the screen?"
Chu Ge thought to himself, what nonsense. I've only just returned to the city; it's good enough that I remember veterans like Fa Ge and Xing Ye. How would I know about last year's internet sensations?
Though those were his thoughts, Chu Ge smiled slightly as he accepted the drink, "Of course I recognize them. It's just that I'm a bit shy, so ladies, please don't be offended. Actually, I'm also your fan, considering how to ask for your autographs."
Upon hearing Chu Ge, the three women in the room chuckled. This opening remark was evidently quite fitting for the subsequent conversation.
Chen Jiatong lightly laughed and then spoke, "Mr. Chu, you're being too modest. To give you an autograph would already be a great honor for us. You really flatter us."
Xu Jingyuan also nodded, "Yes, meeting Ms. He and Mr. Chu today is already our privilege. If you say so, we really would be too embarrassed."
Seeing the stance of these two women, Chu Ge knew they were already thoroughly convinced of his status as a wealthy scion.
Although they didn't show it explicitly, he could definitely tell that they had already entertained some different thoughts.
