A Night in Beijing

"Huh?" Zhuo Jing suddenly looked at a bruised and swollen pig's head not far away with a surprised expression.

This person seems vaguely familiar.

She stepped forward and bent down to get a better look.

The person covered their face, turned their head away, and seemed somewhat ashamed.

"You are... no way, you're Ouyang Kai? My god, what happened to your face?" Zhuo Jing looked at the person in front of her. Wasn't this none other than Ouyang Kai, the school's heartthrob?

Ouyang Kai, who used to be so glamorous and charming, now looks like this?

"Zhuo... Zhuo Jing, I'm sorry, it was my fault," Ouyang Kai said, his voice still trembling slightly.

What just happened has left him with a very deep psychological scar.

"You didn't expect that, Ouyang Kai? You just stood me up, and now you've fallen into my hands." Zhuo Jing smiled strangely and took out her phone.

"Move your hand."

Ouyang Kai covered his face with his hands, covering it even tighter.

"Excuse me..." Zhuo Jing drawled, her tone commanding.

She was only somewhat of an innocent and carefree younger sister in front of Li Xingyu, but having been pampered since childhood, her personality was actually quite arrogant at heart.

Ouyang Kai stopped letting go.

Without a second thought, Zhuo Jing simply pried open his hands, then picked up her phone and started snapping photos.

In the blink of an eye, the miserable state of the former school heartthrob, now a pig-headed fool, appeared on my phone.

"Keep this in mind. If I find out you're a player at school again, messing with girls, you'll be sorry!" Zhuo Jing said, staring at Ouyang Kai.

Ouyang Kai nodded hurriedly, he was terrified.

"Come on, Young Master Zhang, let them handle things here. Let's go continue our drinks," Li Xingyu said with a smile, putting his arm around Zhang's shoulder. "Don't spoil our good mood."

Zhang Yang nodded and left the alley with the group.

I sat back down in the booth. Although the atmosphere seemed the same as before, it was obvious that, besides the enthusiasm, there were some subtle changes.

Previously, many arrogant young masters were warm and polite, but most of them were only doing so because of Li Xingyu. Of course, Zhang Yang himself was indeed worthy of being befriended.

But now, everyone is incredibly enthusiastic, genuinely captivated by Zhang Yang's personal charm and eager to befriend him.

"Young Master Zhang, it's fortunate you're strong enough in combat, otherwise if something happened here at my nightclub, I would truly be guilty of a thousand deaths." Young Master Li, who owns the nightclub, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Young Master Li's real name is Li Chen. Although he also shares the surname Li, he is not related to Li Xingyu at all; they are simply friends.

"My bad, I've troubled everyone with this." Zhang Yang smiled and clinked glasses.

"Not at all, this is a small matter, and everyone is more than willing to help." Zhou Shao, whose family is in the construction business, patted his chest confidently. "I heard that Brother Zhang is planning to build a central kitchen in the suburbs of Beijing. I happen to own a construction company, and if we have the opportunity to cooperate with Brother Zhang, we can definitely get it at cost price."

Next, Soup King Hotpot will indeed build a new central kitchen base to meet the needs of Soup King Hotpot's further expansion.

"No problem." Zhang Yang glanced at Li Xingyu beside him.

"This is a test from Zhou Shao's family, so they specifically gave him a construction company to test his abilities. I know the company; its qualifications are all in order," Li Xingyu said with a smile. "Everything is difficult at the beginning. He just wants to get off to a good start; he doesn't care how much he earns."

"Young Master Zhou, my project isn't very big; it certainly can't compare to those large projects." Zhang Yang raised his glass and clinked it with Young Master Zhou's.

He expects the investment for a central kitchen to be between one and two hundred million.

It certainly can't compare to those projects that cost hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan.

"Brother Zhang, you're like a brother to me. The size of the project doesn't really matter. Besides, this project is just the right size for me right now." Young Master Zhou quickly raised his wine glass with both hands.

"If it's a project worth billions, I don't have the capability right now."

"Okay, I'll have someone connect with you later." Zhang Yang nodded readily.

Immediately, Zhou Shao was overjoyed.

The two clinked glasses, and that was the end of it.

Zhang Yang also knew that the family business behind this young master Zhou was a huge enterprise in the construction industry, and had participated in many well-known large projects. Now, it was certainly worthwhile to further build ties through this small project.

After all, no matter how deep the friendship, the most unbreakable bond is still one of shared interests.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and lively atmosphere, Zhang Yang finally realized that he had completely integrated into Li Xingyu's little circle.

The Beijing is full of talented people, with countless individuals possessing both background and influence.

However, this small circle is not weak either. Some families, like Zhou Shao, are deeply involved in the construction and real estate industry, some are engaged in film, entertainment, and model brokerage, and some, like Li Xingyu, have family assets spanning multiple industries, have been deeply rooted in Beijing for many years, and have both deep and wide connections.

Making good connections with these people would be very beneficial for expanding my network in Beijing.

Shi Xuan sat obediently next to Zhang Yang, constantly pouring him wine, saying little and listening more, becoming increasingly alarmed as she listened.

What kind of circles are these?

I had heard that Zhuo Jing had an extraordinary background, but it turns out that her brother's circle is full of such powerful people.

Today, the focus of this group of people is undoubtedly the person next to them.

She secretly glanced at Zhang Yang beside her, watching his handsome profile, which looked almost unreal under the nightclub lights. Her eyes couldn't help but sparkle with admiration, and her heart was completely captivated by Zhang Yang.

"You're building a central kitchen? Are you in the catering business?" Shi Xuan asked curiously in a low voice.

From the few words she'd just heard, she only knew that Zhang Yang seemed to be working in the catering industry in Beijing, but she really didn't know what exactly he did.

However, the ability to chat and laugh with this group of people suggests that one's business is by no means weak.

"I guess so," Zhang Yang nodded.

Of course, his businesses are not limited to catering. He also owns five-star hotels, shopping malls, office buildings, and even his own venture capital firm, among other assets.

In terms of assets, it can be considered to be worth tens of billions, spanning multiple industries.

"Senior, Zhang Yang hasn't told you yet, has he?" Zhuo Jing couldn't help but laugh. "Soup King Hotpot is Zhang Yang's company. But now, my brother's venture capital firm just invested 600 million, so Zhang Yang's Soup King Hotpot is now valued at 6 billion."

These things will be made public sooner or later; they're not exactly secrets.

Shi Xuan was startled, her mind filled with excitement and shock.

It turns out that the perfect male god I met by chance was someone I didn't even know existed.

He has enormous wealth, an unbeatable physique, and most importantly, an overwhelming amount of boyfriend material. He's incredibly strong in combat, and his most essential masculine sexual tension is absolutely unmatched.

If this isn't a male god, then what is?

Faced with such a perfect male god, she naturally could only fall for him.

Under the influence of alcohol and the dazzling lights and sounds of the nightclub, Shi Xuan's cheeks flushed even more, and she couldn't help but whisper sweet nothings to Zhang Yang.

"It's getting late, everyone, don't keep Brother Zhang from having a good time," the group joked with a laugh.

"You guys, there's a limit to your jokes, isn't there?" Zhang Yang said with a smile. "You guys continue, I'll take them home."

He got up and checked the time.

It's just past midnight, but for nightclubs, the nightlife is just beginning.

Shi Xuan subconsciously stood up as well. Under the light, her slender waist and long, fair legs made her look both ethereal and alluring.

"Let's go." Zhang Yang looked at Shi Xuan and extended his hand.

Shi Xuan shyly offered her hand.

Outside the nightclub, the night was cool and refreshing.

Zhang Yang casually hailed a designated driver to get the car, while he and Shi Xuan waited where they were.

"It's not convenient to go back to the dorm at this time, is it?"

"It's too late... it's certainly inconvenient." Shi Xuan gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, deliberately concealing her inner turmoil. "I can make do outside for the night..."

"How about you come to my place for the night?" Zhang Yang said, kneading Shi Xuan's hand.

Shi Xuan gave a soft "hmm," her face glowing with beauty.

Zhang Yang immediately smiled.

A short while later, the designated driver arrived in his Ghost.

Zhang Yang opened the car door and let Shi Xuan get in first, then he got in himself.

As soon as she sat down, Shi Xuan obediently nestled into his arms.

"Beijing Manor," Zhang Yang said to the chauffeur who was trying to keep his eyes straight ahead, while holding Wen Ruan in his arms.

··

In the early morning, Ghost quietly drove into the underground garage of the small penthouse in the Beijing Manor that Zhang Yang had just bought.

The driver was clearly shocked, having never been to such a place before, and barely dared to breathe.

A moment later, the person left.

Zhang Yang put his arm around the soft and cuddly Shi Xuan, and together they walked directly from the underground parking garage to the second basement level.

"Zhang Yang, over here..."

Before her eyes, the shimmering blue pool stretching for tens of meters, the ornately decorated pool walls, and the vast expanse that seemed to stretch endlessly, all broadened Shi Xuan's horizons and deeply impressed her.

"Want to swim?" Zhang Yang asked, glancing at her.

It was the middle of the night, and I was still in the alcohol after leaving a nightclub, so I wasn't sleepy at all.

Shi Xuan was somewhat tempted, and then obediently bent over, her long hair cascading down, and began to undress.

Not long after.

Her shoes were kicked aside, her short skirt slipped to the ground, and her clothes became increasingly revealing, her long, white legs standing out under the light.

"Does it look good?" She covered her chest, boldly showing herself off in front of Zhang Yang.

No one answered her; all she could hear was a rustling sound.

She looked up curiously, then suddenly her eyes widened and she froze.

Zhang Yang stood shirtless, his tall figure bathed in soft, hazy light. Every inch of his muscles was perfectly defined, making him look as flawless as a statue from Greek mythology.

"Good, so perfect." Shi Xuan, who was just proud of her figure, couldn't help but murmur.

With a splash, water sprayed everywhere.

That perfect figure had already leaped into the water, splashing water everywhere.

A moment later, a figure emerged from the water, beckoning from afar.

"Are you coming down or not?"

Shi Xuan glanced at the perfect body with water droplets rolling down it, calmed her surging emotions, and walked over, clutching her chest.

Then, he jumped into the water, and just as he jumped into a wide embrace.

In the early hours of the morning, in the private underground swimming pool on the second basement level of the thousands of square meter Beijing Manor, amidst the splashing water, people naturally indulged in unrestrained revelry.

Zhang Yang's Beijing Manor spans three floors above ground and two floors below ground. The facilities are so complete that it's outrageous. For example, the second basement level has a spa, a media room, a lounge, and everything else you could want.

With the atmosphere perfectly set, Zhang Yang swept Shi Xuan up in his arms and carried her straight out of the water to the nearest rest room.

··

When Zhang Yang woke up, he was not in a deep sleep. He could not see the time or the sky outside.

This is the lounge on the second basement level.

On the bed, Shi Xuan was covered with a thin blanket, revealing her fair shoulders and slender collarbone. Between her brows, there was still a trace of pleasure and pain.

Standing up, Zhang Yang felt refreshed. The scene from last night lingered in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile.

You actually got a Facebook account, not bad at all...

In terms of user experience, Facebook may be less than satisfactory, but in terms of a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, it is undoubtedly superior.

"Are you awake?"

Zhang Yang looked at the girl's trembling eyelashes, clearly indicating she was pretending to be asleep, and asked with a smile.

The pretense couldn't be maintained any longer.

Shi Xuan sat up, her face flushed, and immediately the blanket slipped off her body.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but take another look.

"Still looking?" Shi Xuan said gently, then pulled the blanket up to cover her chest.

"Can you still walk?" Zhang Yang asked with a casual smile.

"I... I'll try." Shi Xuan hesitated for a moment, then tentatively got up and got out of bed. She had just touched the ground with her bare feet and was about to stand up when she hissed as Zhang Yang held her firmly in his arms.

"Let's go, let's go up." Zhang Yang effortlessly picked up the girl and headed straight for the elevator.

From the second basement level, go straight up to the master bedroom on the top floor.

Having arrived late last night, Shi Xuan only deduced the sheer size of the place from the appearance of the second basement level.

However, once she actually left the two underground floors and went up to the top floor, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as soon as she stepped out of the elevator.

It's too big.

Is this what a luxury mansion looks like?

A corridor that seems to stretch on forever, with a functional area every few steps, making luxurious use of the space, and... the master bedroom.

As Zhang Yang gently laid her down on the master bedroom's terrace, she stood there, the rising sun overhead casting its rays, and overlooking a vast garden spanning several thousand square meters.

The grandeur of the mansion immediately struck me.

"Bought for 300 million, not bad, right?" Zhang Yang asked casually.

"Three hundred million?" Shi Xuan's mouth gaped open, a sight that sparked the imagination. "A mansion worth three hundred million? That's more than just 'good'! It's absolutely incredible! I wouldn't even dare to dream of it."

Although I had imagined Zhang Yang's wealth many times, seeing this 300 million yuan mansion now, all my previous guesses could be overturned. Well, he's not just rich, he's incredibly rich.

"The restaurant business is so profitable?" she couldn't help but ask.

"What are you thinking? I'm not just in the restaurant business," Zhang Yang said casually.

Shi Xuan was speechless for a moment, then immediately shut up.

Yes, an ordinary restaurant owner certainly can't afford to live in such a luxury house, unless they have many large businesses.

"Do you have to go to class today?" Zhang Yang asked, looking at Shi Xuan's long legs that she could barely lift.

"What do you think?" Shi Xuan rolled her eyes at Zhang Yang and said reproachfully, "I'm a dancer, do you want me to die...?"
