Under Zhang Yang's direction, the high-end private club project, with a total investment of 100 million yuan, is progressing rapidly.

Two days later, the project was finalized. He personally invested 60 million, and the other members of the car club invested 40 million. In terms of investment share, he was naturally the largest shareholder.

Zhang Yang didn't bother with the subsequent preparations and details, leaving them to Xiang Xiaotian.

This incident has solidified Zhang Yang's influence and status within the car club.

After all, how many people can afford to spend 60 million with a wave of their hand?

To have achieved such a prominent position within the Rolls-Royce Car Club, a community teeming with wealthy individuals and powerful figures, is a considerable accomplishment.

It's located downstairs in an office building near Huaihai Middle Road in the HP district.

Zhang Yang stood at the bottom of the building, looking up at the office building in front of him.

Choosing a location for the private club took quite a while.

If you want something with character and style, an old villa is the perfect choice. However, there's very little room for renovation, and the rent is quite expensive.

It would be better to look for somewhere else.

After some searching, everyone reached a consensus and decided on the 3,000-square-meter cloud space at the top of this office building.

Actually, in China, many top-tier private clubs are also located on the top floors of buildings, because some people enjoy the feeling of standing at a high place and looking down. So this location choice is perfectly fine.

The other minor shareholders from the car club were also present.

It's quite a coincidence that, including Zhang Yang, they now make up the top ten shareholders.

The top ten shareholders each own a Rolex.

Ten Rolls-Royces parked together would be quite a sight, even in Magic City.

"Brother Zhang." Xiang Xiaotian jogged over, looking up at the handsome profile before her with admiration in her eyes, "Do you think the location here is alright?"

Zhang Yang nodded.

"That's great. I'll leave the rest of the details to you."

As he spoke, he didn't think much of it and casually stroked Xiang Xiaotian's hair, just like an older brother would pat his younger sister's hair.

Immediately, Xiang Xiaotian's eyes turned shy and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Not far behind, this scene naturally caught everyone's attention.

Jin Yanchao was very upset.

"Young Master Jin, don't be sad. You are very outstanding, but you know that you can't compare to Brother Zhang, right?" Su Jiajun put his arm around Jin Yanchao's shoulder and comforted him gently.

"I know, I'm just feeling a bit down." Jin Yanchao took a deep breath, his eyes filled with melancholy. "Haven't you seen it these past two days? Xiao Tian hasn't mentioned her arranged marriage anymore, and she's even threatening us, telling us not to mention it in front of Brother Zhang. Tell me, what kind of nonsense is this..."

"No way, you don't know how long Xiaotian has been using the excuse of a Xiao Tian?" Su Jiajun, somewhat surprised.

"You think I'm serious?" Jin Yanchao looked up at the sky, not daring to look down.

I'm so afraid that if I lower my head, my eyes will betray me.

A moment later, the group entered the office building together, headed straight to the top floor, and prepared to check out the environment.

"By the way, have you decided on a name for the club?" Zhang Yang asked casually.

"Brother, Brother Zhang, I have an idea." Jin Yanchao raised his right arm, eager to show off.

"Oh? What's your name?" Zhang Yang asked, a little curious.

"Hehe, how about we call it 'Cloud Sea Club'? What do you think?" Jin Yanchao followed Zhang Yang around like a sycophant.

Su Jiajun covered his face, feeling somewhat ashamed.

This is Jin Yanchao.

He was the most sour just now, and now he's the most licking.

Cloud Sea Club?

Does it have to be so obvious? Isn't this just the name of Cloud Sea Capital, the company under Brother Zhang's name? Does it have to be so blatantly obsequious?

"Cloud Sea Club?" Zhang Yang blinked, then looked at Jin Yanchao, who was showing off his treasure.

To be honest, this name is actually quite good.

It possesses both grandeur and aesthetic appeal.

If this club gains a reputation and scale within the industry in the future, and truly becomes a top-tier establishment, then this name will not disgrace its status in the industry.

"It's fine." Zhang Yang nodded.

As soon as Zhang Yang agreed, Jin Yanchao's face lit up. He seized the opportunity to show off his wit and literary skills in front of Zhang Yang.

"Upon entering, set up an artificial hill and water feature, place a Podocarpus macrophyllus tree on each side, and inscribe the four large characters 'Viewing the Sea of Clouds' in the middle!"

"We must have art and antiques. Although we didn't rent an old house, we can still create a sense of heritage. From large items like tables and chairs to small ornaments, we need to be able to tell the story behind each one."

"The interior design must be a blend of Chinese and Western styles, because the members we accept in the future must be inclusive and diverse!"

"Regarding the participation method, in addition to our initial members, subsequent participation must be by invitation only, or by referral from existing members. Having sufficient entry requirements is essential to maintain the level and positioning of our club."

"We only operate top-tier, high-end clubs."

Zhang Yang stared intently at Jin Yanchao without saying a word.

However, the other minority shareholders of the car club had something to say.

"Young Master Jin, if you keep doing this, you'll make at least several times more than a hundred million, let alone a hundred million!"

"Young Master Jin wants our club to be among the top clubs in the country! I can't even imagine it. Let's take it one step at a time."

Jin Yanchao stiffened his neck.

What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh it off.

"Take it slow. What you've mentioned later isn't impossible to achieve step by step. Let's focus on doing the first step well first."

This castle in the air is still in its infancy, its location has only just been confirmed, and everything is still too early to tell.

The group thoroughly explored the several thousand square meters of space on the top floor and exchanged their opinions.

Zhang Yang's phone rang.

He glanced at it; it was a message from Bei Wei, saying she would be downstairs in a bit.

"I have something to do, I'll go downstairs first," Zhang Yang said casually.

"Perfect timing, we've seen enough, Brother Zhang, shall we go together?" Su Jiajun said from the side.

"We are too."

Zhang Yang nodded and walked towards the elevator with the others.

"Brother Zhang, you... have plans again tonight?" Xiang Xiaotian followed beside him, glancing quietly at Zhang Yang's phone screen, and asked tentatively, "You're definitely not lonely at all."

"No, she's my girlfriend," Zhang Yang blurted out.

Xiang Xiaotian paused, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Brother Zhang, you... you still have a girlfriend?"

"What are you saying? Can't I have a girlfriend?" Zhang Yang was speechless and amused at the same time, as if it were something strange that he had a girlfriend.

"No, no." Xiang Xiaotian blushed, her eyes filled with disappointment and melancholy. "Of course you have no shortage of girls who like you. I'm just surprised that you have such a girl."

"Possess me? That sounds cheesy and a bit weird." Zhang Yang shook his head and walked towards the elevator.

Xiang Xiaotian gently pulled Zhang Yang, looked up and asked, "How do I compare to her?"

Faced with such a direct yet passionate initiative, Zhang Yang sighed softly.

No, there are so many people here. Besides, Bei Wei will be here soon. How is he supposed to answer Xiang Xiaotian's question?

Why not change the time and place?

Behind me, a series of coughs rose and fell. The other members of the car club entered the elevator one after another.

Xiang Xiaotian blushed and pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Downstairs in the office building.

Zhang Yang stood still and waited.

"Why aren't you going back?" Zhang Yang asked, amused, looking at Xiang Xiaotian standing beside him.

"I'm just curious, I want to see Brother Zhang's girlfriend," Xiang Xiaotian said with a smile.

"What's so interesting about this? You want to compete?" Zhang Yang joked. "There's really no need to compete. You might have misunderstood something."

It's not that Zhang Yang's girlfriend has to be more stunning than anyone else, or more beautiful or outstanding.

Frankly speaking, Xiang Xiaotian's figure, appearance, and family background, it's an exaggeration to say that the number of men pursuing her would stretch from Pudong to Puxi, but at least a whole street would be a reasonable estimate.

She is definitely a genuine rich, beautiful, and successful woman.

Every word is of high quality.

But the reason Bei Wei is his girlfriend is simply because she is Bei Wei; there is no other Bei Wei in the world.

"Then can I take it as meaning that I arrived a little late?" Xiang Xiaotian looked into Zhang Yang's eyes, her gaze smiling.

Just then, the sound of a car horn came from not far away.

Everyone looked over.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!"

The window of Panamera not far away rolled down, and Bei Jiajia waved from afar.

"You have a sister-in-law?" Xiang Xiaotian asked in surprise.

"Just listen to it." Zhang Yang smiled helplessly.

This sister-in-law isn't very valuable, after all, she's not Bei Wei's real biological sister.

However, Bei Jiajia always called him that, and in such an affectionate way, that he eventually accepted it.

In the distance, the driver's side door of the car in the Pamei car opened, and a figure with radiant white skin stepped out—it was Bei Wei.

"Is that your girlfriend, Young Master Zhang? She's really beautiful." Xiang Xiaotian said softly, looking at the pale-skinned girl who had just gotten out of the car.

Zhang Yang didn't say anything, but simply smiled and opened his arms to welcome Bei Wei.

In the blink of an eye, a warm and soft woman was in his arms.

"Husband." Bei Wei tiptoed and offered a sweet, passionate kiss to her pretty face.

Xiang Xiaotian stood by, smiling but saying nothing, simply watching the scene unfold before her.

Nearby, several wealthy second-generation members of a car club saw this and immediately reacted, quickly coming over to greet them with smiles.

"Brother Zhang, this is... your wife! Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello, sister-in-law! You're so beautiful!"

Amidst a chorus of greetings, Bei Wei finally noticed the young people standing to the side.

"Who are they?"

"They're all friends I hang out with," Zhang Yang introduced them one by one.

When Xiang Xiaotian introduced, she stepped forward gently with a smile, "I've always been curious about what Brother Zhang's girlfriend looks like. Today I finally see her in person. She's very beautiful."

"Thank you, you're very pretty too." Bei Wei smiled at the girl in front of her.

The girl in front of me had a Wen Wan appearance and an air of pampered elegance that came from being raised in a wealthy family.

It's just a feeling...

A woman's intuition made her sense something different.

Bei Wei just blinked, not taking it to heart.

"Brother-in-law, I'm going to... your friends..." Bei Jiajia stepped forward and immediately noticed the cars of several rich kids.

Everyone should have a Rolls-Royce.

She was immediately speechless.

But then I thought about it again, and it seemed like the guys and girls who worked at the bar all treated Zhang Yang with a lot of respect.

"Hey, is there anyone you like? I can introduce you to someone." Zhang Yang joked.

Bei Jiajia glanced at it.

Some are of average appearance, while others are quite handsome.

He's handsome and should be incredibly popular. If she says she doesn't like him, she's taking herself too seriously and not knowing her own limitations.

But looking at Zhang Yang in front of her, and at her cheap brother-in-law, she couldn't muster any interest in the boys in front of her at all.

"I'm doomed, am I really going to end up alone?" she lamented to herself, then stepped forward and took Zhang Yang's arm.

"Brother-in-law, stop joking with me."

Before anyone else could make a move, Su Jiajun, a handsome young man with fair skin, exchanged a glance with Bei Jiajia, and the grown man's face suddenly turned red.

He mustered his courage and stepped forward.

"Hello, my name is Su Jiajun." He extended his hand to Bei Jiajia.

Bei Jiajia took a step back and hugged Zhang Yang's arm tightly.

"Huh?" Su Jiajun's expression immediately turned a little awkward.

"Alright, Chairman Su, it seems my sister-in-law isn't interested yet. We'll talk about it later." Zhang Yang looked at Bei Jiajia, then at Su Jiajun, and could only apologize.

Su Jiajun scratched his head, somewhat disappointed.

"Alright, President Su, we should go now. We shouldn't keep Brother Zhang from going on his date with his girlfriend." Xiang Xiaotian walked up to Zhang Yang, waved her hand lightly, and then turned to walk towards her Rolls-Royce Wraith.

The pink Wraith smells of money.

Bei Wei watched Xiang Xiaotian's departing figure from afar, then turned her head to look at Zhang Yang.

"She's the epitome of a rich, beautiful, and successful woman."

"Aren't you a rich, beautiful, and successful woman yourself?" Zhang Yang chuckled and playfully pinched Bei Wei's nose before pulling her into his arms again.

In the evening, at a nearby restaurant.

Zhang Yang and Bei Wei, along with their sister-in-law Bei Jiajia, had a rare get-together.

"You have such high standards! There were so many guys here today, wasn't there anyone you liked?" Bei Wei joked, looking at Bei Jiajia.

"I... I'm currently focused on my career," Bei Jiajia stammered.

"Especially that last young man, he was so proactive..." Bei Wei continued.

"Hmph... By the way, brother-in-law, that girl standing next to you today, the one driving the pink Wraith, she's so gentle and beautiful, a super rich and beautiful girl, and she seems to admire you quite a bit." Bei Jiajia changed her tone and looked at Zhang Yang.

"How did you figure out that he admires me?" Zhang Yang asked, amused.

"Look at her eyes," Bei Jiajia said, observing Bei Wei's expression. "When she looks at you, brother-in-law, there's a clear light in her eyes. As a fellow woman, I can't be wrong, right, sister?"

Bei Wei remained calm and composed, completely unaffected by Bei Jiajia's words.

"Honey, eat some vegetables." She simply looked to the side and personally fed Zhang Yang a piece of vegetables with her chopsticks.

Seeing this, Bei Jiajia snorted.

Zhang Yang ate his food while enjoying the banter between the two sisters, which was a regular part of their entertainment.

The system's latest task has already been completed.

The experience points, plus the company's annual operating capital of 100 million yuan, can also be considered as income.

According to the system instructions, if 100 million is not used up in a given year, it will be cleared to zero the following year and will not carry over to the next year.

So, why not take advantage of it?
