"Yu Qing, you can't talk like this, I've said it before, the Jiang Family's bloodline is noble, but if a person is inherently lowly, then even the most noble bloodline can't prop him up!" Yan Wutian looked at Jiang Chen with disdain.

They still didn't dare to directly challenge the Jiang Family, but they were certainly bold enough to provoke Jiang Chen.

In their eyes, Jiang Chen was nothing but a country bumpkin who had jumped onto the Jiang Family's big ship. He had no real ability at all. When he first encountered Wang Shichong, he relied on Hua Zhiqiang and Lu Chengfeng's power.

What abilities could such a person have?

Jiang Yuling didn't speak, but stared unwaveringly at Jiang Chen, curious to see how he would handle the situation.

"Those four from Jincheng are clearly targeting that Jiang Chen! Looks like he's got himself into trouble! If those four catch on to him, that could spell big trouble!"

"Yeah, that Jiang Chen is just unlucky, running into those four right as he arrived in Jincheng, stepping on Shichong's foot, now that's a real slap in the face!"

"Indeed, let's see what he can do about it. If he can't get a membership card, those four will surely use the rule that non-members can't enter the clubhouse to force others to kick him out. If that happens, he's going to lose a lot of face."

"Not just that; relying on the properties allocated to them by their families, Wang Shichong and the others have all gotten gold membership cards. If Jiang Chen's membership card is at a lower level than theirs, that will provide ample material for them to ridicule him."

"That...I'm afraid he can't get a higher level card, right? It's questionable whether he can even meet the standards of the clubhouse. After all, the clubhouse is interested in the actual businesses under one's name, not the amount of money in their bank account. If it were a matter of money, the Jiang Family could just temporarily transfer a billion to him in a pinch!"

Guests in the banquet hall whispered among themselves when they saw the situation at the door, none of them optimistic about Jiang Chen's prospects.

However, Yu Jiaming, who had earlier uttered mocking words, now wore a wry smile on his face, his expression changed.

He knew that Jiang Chen owned a business, and it was not a small-scale one at that.

Wang Youwei frowned slightly and glanced at Wang Shichong, his eyes shifting cunningly as he formed a slight grin.

Fight, you two fight, I'll be happy regardless of who loses.

At this moment, Jiang Chen started to chuckle, "Yu Qing, Yu Feng, remember this, if a dog barks at you, you don't bark back, just ignore it. But, when it tries to bite you, then you need to smack it dead immediately, with no room for it to even catch its breath—smack it utterly dead!"

"Right, right, smack it dead!"

Jiang Yufeng's eyes lit up, he repeated the words excitedly, and with a triumphant expression, glanced at the footprint that was still faintly visible on Wang Shichong's clothes.

Wang Shichong's face changed, he covered his shirt with his coat, and glared menacingly at Jiang Yufeng.

Jiang Yuqing, however, looked at Jiang Chen with some surprise, understanding the message in Jiang Chen's words. At the same time, Yuqing also grasped something – this was how Jiang Chen conducted himself, and a glimmer of enlightenment flickered in his heart.

"What are you saying?" Wang Shichong looked up at Jiang Chen, his complexion turning the color of iron as he spoke.

Yan Wutian and the others also looked at Jiang Chen with ill intent; in all the years they'd been rampant in Jincheng, no one had dared to call them dogs to their faces.

Jiang Chen once again ignored Wang Shichong and the others, and turned his head towards Li Changjin, asking softly, "There must be some level requirements for processing membership cards here, right? Different levels require different qualifications; there must be some standards, correct?"

Li Changjin quickly replied, "Mr. Jiang, our silver membership starts with a business worth one billion. Gold membership requires a business worth ten billion, platinum membership requires a business of a hundred billion, diamond membership is for businesses worth a thousand billion, and supreme membership is for enterprises worth a trillion. Additionally, supreme members not only need substantial business and capital but also certain international business influence!"

"Is that so," Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

"Oh, someone is getting a membership card, huh? Hey, I wonder what level of membership card they're going for? If someone gets just a silver membership, that's going to be pretty embarrassing!" Wang Shichong's eyes shifted, as he pulled out his own membership card and flicked it nonchalantly.

Yan Wutian and the others also took out their membership cards, brandishing them proudly, almost shoving them in Jiang Chen's face. Each card was a golden card made of real gold.

"This is my ID card. However, I need to remind you that there are some things that you shouldn't access. You only need to look up the Yi Chen Group under my name," Jiang Chen said as he handed over his ID card to Li Changjin.

The fact that Jinhuan Clubhouse would check the properties owned under an individual's name based on their ID was somewhat invasive of privacy. However, when applying for membership, everyone was aware of this and tacitly agreed the clubhouse could access their property information. Jiang Chen's reminder was to limit them to only accessing his Yi Chen Group.

In reality, as soon as Jiang Chen mentioned the four words "Yi Chen Group", there was no need for any verification.

"Yi Chen Group?! Is that the business giant in Dingjing and Jinhai?"

"That company...it's said to have assets worth hundreds of billions!"

"Your information is outdated, Yi Chen Group has already reached an asset scale of over 100 billion when it acquired the construction project in Xincheng half a year ago; with the development over the past six months, I'm afraid it has become even more terrifying!"

"Is this Jiang Chen related to Yi Chen Group?"

"Judging by his tone, could it be that Yi Chen Group belongs to him?"

"Was it given to him by the Jiang Family?"

"No, the Yi Chen Group is privately owned, not part of the Jiang Family's assets. If it were, the major families of Jincheng wouldn't be in the dark about it!"

Jiang Chen's words sparked a fierce reaction among the guests in the banquet hall.

Wang Shichong and his three companions' expressions changed. They had naturally heard of Yi Chen Group, the rising star in the business world of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, but they never imagined that Jiang Chen, whom they had regarded as a nouveau riche son-in-law with sudden wealth, was related to Yi Chen Group.

Li Changjin was also shocked. He looked at Jiang Chen with astonished eyes and took his ID card.

"There's no need to pull up the records, just process Mr. Jiang's Supreme membership card directly!" a crisp voice sounded, leaving everyone in the banquet hall momentarily dumbfounded.

"Supreme membership card?"

"What's happening? Who's speaking?"

"Even if he's the legitimate great-grandson of the Jiang Family, he wouldn't qualify for a Supreme membership card, would he?"

"Is there... something we don't know?"

The banquet hall erupted into a buzz as everyone turned their attention to the entrance, where the voice had come from.

Tap tap tap!

A clear sound of footsteps followed, and an attractive figure entered the banquet hall.

She was dressed in a light blue gown that fell to her knees, revealing her delicately shaped calves, and wore a pair of dazzling diamond-studded high heels. The sparkle of the diamonds made one question whether they were real. Her hair was neatly pinned up behind her head, and with her elegant and noble features, she exuded a regal presence that seemed untouchable and purely for admiration!

"Miss Song?" Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, but when he saw Sun Tianlin following behind her, a sense of understanding flashed through his mind.

So this Jinhuan Clubhouse was established by Old Master Song's granddaughter; no wonder it's considered one of the top three clubhouses in Jincheng!

"Hello Mr. Jiang, my name is Song Wanqiu. Please don't misunderstand, this clubhouse has nothing to do with my grandfather," Miss Song introduced herself and quickly clarified, as she didn't wish her grandfather's status to be lessened in Jiang Chen's eyes due to her ownership of the clubhouse.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, his expression changed, and he glanced at a middle-aged man standing next to Sun Tianlin outside the door, nodding slightly to him.

Innate Grandmaster?!

It seemed the clubhouse really had nothing to do with Old Master Song, given his status, he wouldn't assign an Innate Grandmaster to protect his granddaughter.

A Profound Martial Artist with an Innate Grandmaster escort—this Miss Song... was quite interesting!

"Miss Song, on what basis can he apply for a Supreme card?" Wang Shichong asked with an ugly expression.

Song Wanqiu gave Wang Shichong a faint glance and spoke softly, "The criterion for the Supreme membership card is to possess assets of over a trillion. Yi Chen Group's current assets have reached the scale of 300 billion, and this Mr. Jiang owns 30% of the Jiang Family's Longteng Group shares. Together, they have reached a trillion."

"What? He's obtained 30% of Longteng Group's shares?!"

"This... This confirms his status as the direct great-grandson!"

"I see more than that, I'm afraid this is Elder Master Jiang demonstrating to the Jiang Family that he fully supports Jiang Chen as the successor Family Head!"

"But the Family Head of the Jiang Family..."

"The Jiang Family is in for some excitement now!"

Shocked exclamations came from the people in the banquet hall. They were all aware of the Jiang Family's situation, and their gaze towards Jiang Chen changed completely.
