The wealthy merchants and prominent figures of Shanghai were all eager to join.

Faced with so many requests, Zhang Yang naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, it was just a club; if people wanted to join, what reason did he have to refuse?

Membership status determines the level and prestige of the club.

The addition of these people has instantly made the club's prestige skyrocket. To prevent unscrupulous individuals from joining in the future, it seems the club's admission criteria need to be changed.

"Chairman Zhang, would you like to play one?"

"Just playing around."

Everyone swung their clubs with great enjoyment, and they all laughed and urged Zhang Yang to take a turn as well.

Unable to refuse the warm invitation, Zhang Yang smiled and stepped forward. He glanced at the hole in the distance, felt the wind around him, and then swung his club with an incredibly standard and graceful posture.

The golf ball is hit by the club and flies through the air in a perfect arc.

Then, it landed perfectly in the hole.

Instantly, cheers and disbelief erupted from the surrounding area.

A hole-in-one, a true hole-in-one! It's a miracle in the eyes of golf enthusiasts, and the ultimate dream for everyone.

A professional golfer has a 1 in 2,500 chance of getting a hole-in-one, while for an average amateur, the probability is a mere 1 in 100,000.

"Chairman Zhang is such a master!"

"That's amazing!"

A group of super-rich individuals were all excited and thrilled, their excitement far exceeding that of a surge in the company's stock price.

The surrounding course staff and caddies all came forward to congratulate him.

This was no longer just a simple compliment, but a genuine congratulation. It's fair to say that Zhang Yang's hole-in-one caused the entire golf course to erupt in cheers.

Tiger Woods might not even get a hole-in-one once a year, so you can imagine how rare that is.

"Come here, Luo Zhiqing." Zhang Yang waved to Luo Zhiqing from afar.

Luo Zhiqing snapped out of her daze and quickly ran over.

"Chairman Zhang."

"Go prepare the cash, I want to give out red envelopes," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

The surrounding area instantly erupted in excitement.

After an unknown amount of time, all the caddies and staff on the course lined up in two rows, cheering.

Zhang Yang, holding cash in his hand, handed out red envelopes along the way to celebrate his hole-in-one.

Congratulations, Mr. Zhang, on your hole-in-one!

"Thank you, Chairman Zhang!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. I wish you continued success in your business!"

··

From caddies to security guards to staff, Zhang Yang tipped everyone without hesitation. He especially lavished tips on the caddies who accompanied him throughout the entire process.

From beginning to end, the red envelopes alone amounted to millions.

The entire course echoed with the lavish spending of Chairman Zhang, who scored a hole-in-one and tipped a million-dollar prize. For the course, today was nothing short of a sea of joy.

Zhang Yang now understands why golf is a sport widely loved by the wealthy.

It has strong social attributes and reflects social status.

Zhang Yang's hole-in-one today not only set a new course record and earned him cheers from everyone present, but also won him the undisguised envy of these superstars.

Because they've never gotten a hole-in-one!

It is estimated that for quite some time to come, the legend of Zhang Yang's hole-in-one will circulate among the wealthy and will continue to be talked about with great interest.

That's what saving face is all about.

"Come on, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight and celebrate," Zhang Yang said.

In the circles of the wealthy, a hole-in-one carries a great deal of significance, and a dinner party is always a must.

Everyone laughed and agreed, happy to share in the celebration of this rare moment with Zhang Yang.

After all, this will be something to talk about later!

For example, if we talk about it in the future, saying that on a certain day at the Sheshan Golf Course, Chairman Zhang of the Yangtze Club made a hole-in-one, and that we were also witnesses, then we can consider ourselves to have shared in the glory.

··

For the evening banquet, Zhang Yang specially chose Cloud Sea Club, a club he had invested heavily in building.

Tonight, the Cloud Sea Club is packed with bigwigs.

The name Cloud Sea Club is destined to rise in Magic City's top social circles.

"Jiajun, the club is temporarily closing its membership application process and is not accepting applications right now." Zhang Yang called Su Jiajun in advance. "I'm planning to make memberships invitation-only for now; we'll discuss the details later."

Su Jiajun is a truly wealthy and leisurely person with plenty of time, so he is temporarily in charge of the operational details of the Cloud Sea Club.

"You're not accepting membership applications? Brother Zhang, what happened?" Su Jiajun was still confused.

"What happened?" Zhang Yang smiled. "You'll find out when the time comes."

··

It was evening, downstairs from the office building where the Cloud Sea Club was located.

A diverse array of vehicles belonging to various VIPs were on display.

The car is impressive, but the license plate is even more impressive. Well-informed people can tell you its history just by looking at the car and the license plate, and that it belongs to some big shot.

One after another, the bigwigs, surrounded by their entourage and security assistants, walked in with smiles on their faces.

A crowd of pedestrians around them turned to look.

"Is this... a gathering of super big shots?"

"So many dads, oh my god!"

"What's upstairs? Why are so many big shots here?"

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Soon, people learned that the bigwigs had gathered here today to attend a gathering at a wealthy club called Cloud Sea Club in Genting Cloud Peak.

The origins of this Cloud Sea Club are shrouded in mystery; it is not open to the public and is undoubtedly a top-tier private club.

Many newly rich are racking their brains trying to find out how to join, but they simply don't know where to start.

··

Cloud Peak: Cloud Sea Club

Zhang Yang chatted and strolled around with the many newly joined senior members.

Everyone naturally raved about the club's environment.

Of course, the praise was genuine, but it was mostly flattery, flattery done out of respect for Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang naturally knew that everyone had come in such a grand manner because they wanted to support him.

Su Jiajun was completely terrified.

This...

What's going on?

Not to mention him, even the big shots that his father could only Yangwang were gathered here today, chatting and laughing with his brother Zhang.

Just how powerful and influential is Brother Zhang?

Wouldn't that mean it broke through the atmosphere?

In front of so many big shots, Su Jiajun, a not-so-big-but-not-so-small-time rich kid, could only obediently act as a service staff member.

His face was frozen from smiling the whole time.

The evening banquet was naturally filled with delicacies, and the room was packed with distinguished guests, creating a lively atmosphere.

As for the wine...

What fine wines haven't the big shots here tasted?

Zhang Yang came up with a unique idea: he had a jar of what he claimed to be a treasured vintage wine brewed by Cloud Sea Club.

The wine is a standard health-promoting wine.

However, Zhang Yang had put a Lesser Returning Pill into the large jar of wine.

This pill is very potent, but the dosage matters.

When Zhang Yang took too much, he would feel his blood boiling and his nostrils burning. However, once it was diluted to the extreme, its effect was reduced to simply promoting blood circulation and relieving muscle tension.

If I had to describe it, it would be something like a warm, cozy feeling inside my body.

My energy and spirit seemed to have been replenished instantly.

At the dinner table, the big shots are seated, while their assistants stand by, ready to refill their drinks and pour their tea, or occasionally step aside to give them private space.

"Hiss! This wine..." Amidst the clinking of glasses, a big shot stared wide-eyed at the wine glass, speechless.

"This wine feels so good! It's more comfortable than any wine I've ever drunk in my life. It's warm and comforting, and it feels like my body is getting warmed up." Another person stretched, "And I feel energetic and full of vitality!"

"Chairman Zhang, where did you get this wine?"

"It's our club's prized medicinal wine, brewed on-site," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

He'd thought it through. Since all the big shots were coming to support his club, he had to offer something special, like this wine...

Of course, he had to emphasize the wine's uniqueness and scarcity.

It is not served lightly; it is only offered to distinguished guests.

Everyone sipped their drinks slowly, their faces glowing and full of energy.

This isn't the flushed face you get from being drunk; it's a phenomenon caused by truly abundant qi and blood and excellent blood circulation.

Although the effect is short-lived and transient, it is enough to leave a lasting and unforgettable impression.

Everyone was quite satisfied after the drinking session.

"One drink with Chairman Zhang is worth more than a hundred drinking parties."

"Chairman Zhang, will you still have this wine next time we come?" someone asked jokingly.

Zhang Yang smiled.

"Although the brewing process is difficult and the stored wine is limited, I guarantee we'll have some if you come."

One crudely made Lesser Returning Pill, at this dosage, could easily fill hundreds of jars, and he had three bottles containing a total of thirty pills.

Make whatever you want.

In this way, his Cloud Sea Club can be considered to have become famous far and wide.

After the drinking party, downstairs.

Accompanied by their assistants, the VIPs drove away, shaking hands frequently before leaving, demonstrating their amicable relationship.

"Dad!" A figure came running from afar.

Upon seeing Zhang Yang, he paused for a moment, then immediately called out, "Young Master Zhang."

"You have no manners!" Chairman Ye of Huahai Group chuckled and scolded. "In terms of seniority, Chairman Zhang is your elder, so don't call him that so casually."

Zhang Yang smiled as he looked at Ye Junyi, with whom he had once formed a good relationship.

Ye Junyi was dumbfounded.

He glanced at his father, whose expression was serious and not joking, and then at Zhang Shao, whom he had met a few times before.

Then··

Could it be...?

"Uncle Zhang...?" He stammered for once, which was rare for him.

"No need to be so polite. We're about the same age, so you can call me whatever you like. Don't make me sound old." Zhang Yang smiled. "Little Ye."

"Chairman Zhang, you're just being polite. Don't take it seriously. Do I need to teach you to respect your elders?" Chairman Ye glanced at his son, then pulled Zhang Yang aside, still in high spirits and saying polite things.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Xiao Ye, help Chairman Ye into the car." Zhang Yang looked at Young Master Ye beside him.

Ye Junyi hesitated, then obediently stepped forward to support Chairman Ye.

"I'm leaving, Chairman Zhang." Before getting into the car, Chairman Ye leaned out and bowed in farewell.

Zhang Yang nodded and watched them leave.

The VIPs who came to support the club, in their various vehicles—business cars, luxury cars—finally dispersed, leaving behind countless rumors and legends, adding a significant chapter to the turbulent history of Magic City.

Looking back, Luo Zhiqing was still standing not far away.

Zhang Yang beckoned, Luo Zhiqing obediently stepped forward, looking like she was waiting to be ordered around.

"Chairman Zhang, what are your instructions?"

She seems to be gradually adapting to her new identity.

"It's nothing, it's getting late, I'll take you home," Zhang Yang said casually.

"Thank you, Chairman Zhang," Luo Zhiqing said softly.

"Okay, get in the car." Zhang Yang nodded and walked straight to the car that was waiting not far away.

On the way back, Zhang Yang closed his eyes slightly, vaguely feeling as if something was missing.

He opened his eyes and looked at Luo Zhiqing sitting upright beside him, and he immediately understood.

Usually, Bai Xiaomi would sit next to him. Whenever he closed his eyes, Bai Xiaomi would come over and massage his head, or let him rest his head on her lap.

When it comes to being knowledgeable and tactful, Bai Xiaomi is the best.

The new assistant seemed somewhat reserved.

"Huh?" Zhang Yang looked out the window and suddenly realized, how did we end up passing by Lakeville Regency?

Back in Magic City, but it seems I haven't visited Bei Wei yet.

Should we surprise her?

"Let's stop here," Zhang Yang instructed.

The Phantom slowly came to a stop outside the door.

"Xiao Luo, the driver will take you home. I'll get off here," Zhang Yang instructed Luo Zhiqing.

"Ah? Okay." Luo Zhiqing nodded quickly.

The car door closed, and filled with curiosity, she couldn't help but turn around to look.

"That is..."

Not far behind, a fair-skinned girl carrying fruit cheered and rushed into Mr. Zhang's arms.

Amidst the bustling crowd, the two embraced each other, oblivious to everyone else around them.

"That is..."

Luo Zhiqing couldn't help but wonder about the girl's identity.

··

At this moment, at the main entrance of Lakeville Regency.

Two figures were embracing tightly.

"Am I dreaming?" Bei Wei hugged Zhang Yang, looking up in disbelief. "I was just thinking about you, and the next second, you're standing right in front of me?"

"It was you who summoned it." Zhang Yang gently pinched the sweet girl's nose.

"Do I really have that much power? That I can summon Young Master Zhang with just a thought?" Bei Wei tiptoed up to kiss him. "Then I'll have to try more often in the future."

"Try it, no matter where you are, I'll fly to you if I have to," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

He never makes empty promises.

With an aerial Ferrari Gulfstream capable of traversing continents at his disposal, he could appear before Bei Wei from any corner of the world within a single day, if not in an instant.

The two chatted and laughed, talking about everyday things, and walked home side by side.

"Oh, right, my mom... came to Magic City," Bei Wei suddenly said with a smile.

"Auntie's here?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.

To be honest, he had met Bei Wei's father, but he had never had the chance to meet her mother in all this time.

"I'm worried about you?"

"How could that be?" Bei Wei smiled and said, "You've arranged everything so well for me. I have no worries about food or clothing, a car, a house, and my own business. How could my mother not be at ease? She came here this time to see some old classmates who are developing in Magic City. We haven't seen each other for many years. She just came to see me on the side."

"Oh right, I came in a hurry, so I came empty-handed..." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"Everything I have is from you, and you say I came empty-handed..." Bei Wei laughed. "My mom will be overjoyed whenever she sees you."
