He Zongfu, around 30 years old, was wearing a black leather jacket with a simple white vest underneath. Inside the Black Swan Club, there was a large central heating system, plus the lively atmosphere of thousands of people. Naturally, it didn't feel cold, but Gu Bai really couldn't understand the purpose of this outfit in the Capital City winter with temperatures below ten degrees Celsius.

Gu Bai didn't know He Zongfu, but Principal Wang clearly had dealings with him, and both of them tacitly decided to let Principal Wang handle it.

Principal Wang had kept a straight face until he reached the booth, where a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Young Master He, I invited you to have some fun when Black Swan Club was preparing to open, but you said you were busy. Look at you, how could you come without a word of notice? Do you have any issues with a brother like me?"

Although He Zongfu previously showed disdain for Principal Wang and Gu Bai, he wasn't a fool. Now that the main player was here, he dropped his arrogance, instead smiling agreeably, "Haha, the Capital City is so small, with such a big fuss from your Black Swan Club, if I don't come to support, people in the circle will say I'm stingy. But honestly, Principal, your Black Swan Club is first-class. I guess from now on, this small patch of nightlife in the Capital City will be dominated by your club, and we'll just have to make do with what's left."

"Isn't it all just for some convenient fun? Who's really looking to make big money? Let's not chat here, give me some face and come over to my booth, let's have a drink, consider it my way of apologizing to you."

Principal Wang kept a low profile. They were among the top echelon of the second generation inside the circle. If things got ugly, it would be hard to clean up, especially on the first day Black Swan Club opened. No matter what, there wouldn't be any benefits for them.

He Zongfu curled his lips into a smile with an uncertain meaning.

"Principal, I will certainly give you face, but my face isn't worthless either. I'm not asking for much, just let Di Li Ruo Ba have a drink with me, and let's put today's matter behind us. You know, I've brought so many bros to boost the atmosphere, can't let this big celebrity not cheer us up at all, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several second generations behind He Zongfu also stirred up the noise.

Principal Wang's face turned slightly awkward. He had already swallowed his pride enough, aiming to turn big matters into small ones and make small matters disappear, but He Zongfu was still relentless.

Di Li Ruo Ba stood behind Du Jun, looking a bit pale. Since Yang Function signed her under his banner years ago, she understood the twists and turns of the entertainment circle. She knew that, although the focal point of the conflict was on her, it was beyond her control now.

It had become a battle of face between those big figures.

For a moment, Di Li Ruo Ba, holding her assistant, was at a loss.

"Young Master He, must it end with both sides looking bad?"

He Zongfu merely smiled without explicitly denying it.

He had come looking for trouble; the bigger the scene, the more he would enjoy it. After all, he wouldn't bear any loss, regardless of whether Principal Wang backed down or not.

He Zongfu had already gauged that Principal Wang wouldn't dare to break ties with him.

Principal Wang considered for a moment, then walked over to Di Li Ruo Ba's side, speaking with a bit of apology, "I'll compensate you with an extra red packet later, just have a drink with him."

It wasn't that Principal Wang was being timid, but in such a setting, going head-to-head with He Zongfu was inappropriate. However, it was clear the grudge between both sides was already set.

Di Li Ruo Ba wasn't familiar with Principal Wang, but she had some understanding of the chief second-generation status. Even Principal Wang had caved, and she had no chance of coming out on top if she persisted. Speaking grandly, it might directly ruin her career prospects, not exaggerating. Countless predecessors had ended their careers on a whim of those big figures in the circle.

At this time, the aura of being worshipped by thousands seemed so powerless.

Di Li Ruo Ba, with a tragic smile on her face, prepared to step forward.

Seeing Principal Wang give in, He Zongfu turned to his fellow second generations who came with him, smiling broadly. Although it was a faint smile, the arrogance within it was palpable to everyone.

Gu Bai, who had been silent at the side, finally moved.

He reached out and stopped Di Li Ruo Ba from stepping forward, softly saying, "Just go back to your booth."

Di Li Ruo Ba, wearing a plain white dress that even covered her wrists tightly, looked very conservative. Upon hearing Gu Bai speak, she raised her head to glance at him. Her slender, smooth neck slightly crooked, combined with her unique exotic features, made for another strikingly beautiful view.

Noticing Di Li Ruo Ba looking at him, Gu Bai slightly bowed his head and gave her a gentle smile.

"Sister Mi brought you to support the promotion of Black Swan Club, not to be subjected to humiliation."

Looking at the calm smiling face of Gu Bai in front of her, Di Li Ruo Ba couldn't help a slight tremble in her heart.

Seeing this scene, He Zongfu laughed and said, "Oh? Leader Gu! Young leader! Are you planning to play a hero saving the beauty act? Then you ought to thank me. Am I not playing a cameo as the villain, then?"

Listening to He Zongfu's mocking tone, Gu Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.
