Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 78: First experience in a nightclub

The "Star Bunker" that Shen Yutong mentioned is located in the Yunfang Commercial District of Mingcheng. The taxi turned into the intersection and moved along the long stream of traffic at a snail's pace for 10 minutes before finally driving smoothly to the vicinity of the bar street.

As soon as he got off the car, the trendy and restless atmosphere mixed with the bustling crowd hit him in the face. Before he even walked in, Zhou Wang could already feel the strong hormones.

As you look, the streets are full of young ladies in cool clothes, showing off their young and beautiful bodies unscrupulously in the summer evening breeze.

Or there are groups of young people, talking and laughing loudly, dressed fashionably, but it is difficult to define whether they are trendy men or rappers.

"Brother Zhou, is it lively?"

Shen Yutong chuckled and said, "It's only a little after 9 o'clock now. It will be peak time here at 12 o'clock. No cars will be able to drive in by then."

Zhou Wang looked around, smiled and nodded: "It looks quite interesting..."

Just by taking a look at the facades of these bars, Zhou Wang could vaguely understand what Shen Yutong meant by the so-called "new bars".

BAR, house, bunker, club, camp...

Different from the pubs Zhou Wang used to go to, all the nightclubs here are trendy from the decoration on the facade. Just looking at the name, they cannot be associated with traditional bars at all.

The colorful neon signs intertwined together created an atmosphere that was enough to scare away any child who had never seen the world.

"Min'er and Duoduo are here too, let's go!"

Shen Yutong glanced at her phone and called Zhou Wang and Su Yajing to move forward.

Five people met at the door of the "Star Bunker". Shen Yutong made a phone call, and soon a salesperson came out to lead everyone in.

After passing security and putting on a fluorescent bracelet, they walked through the narrow corridor and lifted the heavy door curtain. The eardrum-bursting music instantly engulfed everyone.

Bizarre.

This was Zhou Wang’s first impression of the nightclub.

The space was much narrower than he had imagined, but there were a large number of high tables placed at very low intervals. Apart from a circle of booths around it and a bar in the middle, there were almost no stools to be seen.

This should obviously be an extremely uncomfortable environment with a lot of people around, but on the contrary, it is now packed with people.

Everyone was swaying their bodies happily, holding their glasses and having fun to the music.

Zhou Wang was really surprised that this bar, which didn't look very high-end in terms of decoration, had such a good atmosphere.

He saw a huge number of young ladies, which was unimaginable in the bars he had been to before.

On the one hand, they all look very young, and some of them wearing cosplay costumes even look like they are not yet adults. But the key point is that at first glance, they all look pretty good.

The DJ on the stage was not playing traditional electronic music, but instead a black band was singing "Love Story".

Faintly, Zhou Wang heard a "ding" sound, but before he had time to check, Yu Duo's urging voice came from the side.

"Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang... Let's go!"

The aisle was a bit crowded, so Yu Duo took Zhou Wang's hand, and Zhou Wang held Su Yajing in his arms. Then they followed the salesperson inside.

It's really a drill.

During this process, Zhou Wang vaguely understood the significance of this crowded indoor space...

If you are not particularly careful, it is really difficult to avoid physical friction with others. If you are a little more vulgar, it would be very easy to "accidentally" take advantage of a young lady.

All we can say is that the designers really understand the psychology of consumers, and it is no wonder that all kinds of chaotic stories are prone to happen in nightclubs.

"My girlfriend can't come to a place like this... Well, no one is allowed to come."

Zhou Wang was thinking this, and when they finally arrived at the place, Yu Duo in his other arms couldn't help but push him.

"You rascal... have you hugged me enough?"

"Oh, sorry, I got distracted."

Zhou Wang let go of Yu Duo without changing his expression. On the other side, Su Yajing just laughed and looked unconcerned.

Looking at the table in front of him, Zhou Wang couldn't help but frown.

It was just an ordinary high table in the hall. Five people could only stand around the table. Zhou Wang was not intolerant because everyone was like this. But the problem was...

This table is right next to the aisle leading to the toilet. In addition to the normal congestion, people often pass by them. Zhou Wang, who was standing outside close to the aisle, was bumped several times in just a short while.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but someone touched his butt…

We don’t even know whether it’s a boy or a girl, how the hell is this?

He stopped Shen Yutong who was placing an order on a pad and asked the salesperson next to him, "Are there any booths left?"

"Sorry, handsome guy, the booth is full. Not only the booth, but also the other small tables are empty."

"Can't we add more money?"

Zhou Wang asked, "I can order your most expensive drinks!"

"Pfft!"

Before the salesperson could say anything, Cui Min'er, who had put her ear close to him, laughed out loud.

"Hey, Oppa, can you stop being so pretentious at this time? Their most expensive drink is only over a thousand dollars. Besides, who would be short of money to sit in a booth?"

Zhou Wang was stunned by Cui Min'er's sarcasm. He took the pad and took a look, only to find that, as Cui Min'er said, the consumption in this bar was really not expensive.

The cheapest beer is 300 yuan a dozen, and the most expensive foreign liquor is no more than 3000 yuan.

There is no such thing as a magic suit to trick fools, nor is there any "domestic" Louis XIII...

Zhou Wang felt somewhat helpless. No wonder his business was so good. It turned out that he took a people-friendly approach.

"I didn't see you wanting to pay the bill when we were eating before, but now you're so eager..."

Cui Min'er muttered something again, but her voice was so soft that no one else heard it.

Zhou Wang was too lazy to pay attention to her and just looked at Shen Yutong who was waiting obediently for him to negotiate with the salesperson.

"Yutong, I'm sorry, how about letting me arrange this one?"

"It's okay, it's okay. We can do it."

Shen Yutong quickly waved her hands, and felt a little warm in her heart.

Cui Min'er and Yu Duo definitely didn't know, and Shen Yutong wasn't sure if Su Yajing was aware of it, but she could feel it...

Zhou Wang's presence was very weak today because he had always been respecting the tacit understanding between his girlfriends when they hung out together.

It was Su Yajing who bought the game coins at the arcade, and it was Yu Duo who paid the bill at mealtime. So the drinking party was actually Shen Yutong's "responsibility", after all, it was she who booked the table.

Shen Yutong didn't expect that her position would be so bad this time. When she saw Zhou Wang showing dissatisfaction, she felt uneasy. Unexpectedly, Zhou Wang not only didn't blame her, but apologized to her for wanting to intervene...

At this moment, Shen Yutong was almost jealous of Su Yajing to death.

Because he knew that all the self-restraint Zhou Wang displayed was rooted in his concern for Su Yajing's feelings.

To put it bluntly, with their financial resources and status, why should we consider their feelings?

"Wait a minute and I'll make a call."

Zhou Wang waved his hand, went to the bathroom area alone, found a quiet corner and unplugged the phone.

"Hey, Dog Brother?"

The call was quickly connected, and the sound of mahjong being rubbed could be heard on the other end, but it soon became quiet again, and Zhou Yiqun's loud laughter rang out.

"You're calling me at this hour. Are you finally going to ask me out for a drink?"

"That's what I mean, but I still need your help." Zhou Wang smiled, explained his situation, and finally asked:
"I heard you say before that you are a shareholder of Oscar. Can you help me arrange a booth over there?"

"That's no problem, just go ahead... But, you just said you were in the Star Bunker, right?"

Zhou Yiquan smiled and said, "If you don't want to bother, I can actually arrange the Star Bunker."

"Booth?"

Zhou Wang was stunned.

"Nonsense, what's the point of having a table like that? Can I let you squeeze into a small table?"

Zhou Yiquan said this in a feigned anger, then he chuckled, "I am not talented, but I actually own a small stake in the Star Bunker."

"You also have shares in this store?"

Zhou Wang was really surprised this time.

"You may not know much about the bar scene in Mingcheng, but let me tell you, no matter whether it was 10 years ago or 10 years later, the signs of a certain group of bars may change, but some things are always fixed..."

Zhou Yiquan laughed and said, "No one plays it alone nowadays. Well... you can think of this as 'cross-holding'."

What the hell is “cross-holding”!
Zhou Yiquan's words were vague, so Zhou Wang did not ask further questions. He just said thank you.

"That's troublesome, do you want to come over and have a couple of drinks with me?"

"Stop it, stop it! I hate fake politeness the most!"

Zhou Yiquan said with a chuckle, "You said you brought four girls with you, it's obviously a sex game, why should I come here to join in the fun?"

"If you really want to drink it, why don't I arrange a proper Ka Yan party for you some other day? Don't make excuses and say you can't come then!"

"If you tell me in advance, I will definitely come."

The honest man Zhou Wang didn't understand what "point cannon game" and "kayan game" meant, but he knew that face was given to each other, so he readily agreed.

"That's it, Brother Gou. Just wait at your original table. I'll have someone come and serve you!"

Zhou Yiquan laughed.

……

When Zhou Wang went back, Su Yajing and Shen Yutong were biting their ears, Yu Duo was holding her phone and pouting to find the angle to take a selfie, only Cui Min'er was standing by the small table with an uncomfortable look on her face.

The salesperson was still waiting, but an expression of impatience was clearly visible on his face.

"Zhou Wang, because of you, we have been standing here in disgrace. You are simply the most unreliable Chinese man I have ever met, stingy and rude!"

Cui Min'er's accumulated dissatisfaction with Zhou Wang finally reached a critical point, and she shouted it out regardless of the consequences.

Su Yajing, who was originally chatting and laughing with Shen Yutong, suddenly became very angry, but before she wanted to argue with Cui Miner, Zhou Wang stopped her.

After taking a calm glance at Cui Min'er, Zhou Wang answered the incoming call.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhou?"

The bar manager, who was already holding a phone and walking nearby, saw this and hurried over.

"Boss Zhou has already told me, everyone please follow me."

After seeing Zhou Wang nod, the bar manager waved his hand and asked the confused salesperson to go away, and he personally led the way.

"It's troublesome."

Zhou Wang pulled Su Yajing beside him and followed. Su Yajing, who was the least surprised by this scene, snorted coldly at Cui Min'er who was stunned for a moment with a proud look on her face.

Shen Yutong patted Yu Duo, who was still confused about the situation, and motioned for her to go and pull Cui Min'er, and she quickly followed.

The booth that had been vacated and even cleaned was the best location in the entire bar, enough to seat five or six people without feeling crowded.

Zhou Wang didn’t know where the previous guests had gone, and he was too lazy to care.

Zhou Wang sat down in the C position, Su Yajing sat next to him on the right, and after a slight hesitation, Shen Yutong sat on Zhou Wang's left as if nothing had happened.

Almost as soon as they sat down, two waiters brought drinks and glasses.

"These are all the wines that Mr. Zhou had stored before. The snack kitchen is already preparing them. If you need anything else, call me anytime."

The manager said with a smile.

Zhou Wang glanced at the table and saw two dozen Budweiser cans, two bottles of Chivas 18, a bottle of Spade Ace Gold and a lot of soft drinks.

These wines are not expensive, but they are not cheap either.

Thinking about how to repay Zhou Yiquan's favor, Zhou Wang thanked the manager again.

After the manager left, Yu Duo also pulled Cui Min'er, who was walking slowly, over.

"Wow, is this the legendary Ace of Spades? I want to drink it!"

Yu Duo rushed over with shining eyes and sat next to Su Yajing.

Cui Min'er stood beside the table with a somewhat stiff expression.

Shen Yutong glanced at Zhou Wang secretly, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she pulled Cui Min'er over.

"Min'er, what you just said was indeed a bit too much. Go apologize to Brother Zhou and Ranran."

"Why should I apologize?"

Cui Min'er was still not convinced. "Even if he was lucky enough to find a booth, it doesn't mean that what I just said was wrong. He is obviously a stingy man."

"Zhou Wang is stingy?"

Shen Yutong couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Cui Min'er with eyes full of pity, "A man who transferred 188,000 yuan to his girlfriend when they just started dating, you say he is stingy?"

"What do you mean by 188,000? Who are you talking about?"

Cui Min'er was stunned.

"Who else could it be? Of course it was Zhou Wang who transferred 188,000 yuan to Su Yajing, and it was on the second day after they established their relationship... The number I'm talking about is RMB!"

"impossible!"

Cui Miner sat up straight as if she had received an electric shock, her face full of disbelief, "Then why didn't she tell me?"

"Why is she showing off this to you for no reason?"

Shen Yutong said, but silently added in her heart, "She really wanted to show off. Who made you so pitiful when you were in Cartier? How could she be so embarrassed?"

"I don't believe it. You are lying to me on purpose. Did Su Yajing tell you this to dispel my opinion of Zhou Wang?"

Cui Min'er still looked suspicious.

"Do we have to lie to you?"

Shen Yutong groaned, "Aren't you wondering why Su Yajing suddenly bought an Hermès? Let me tell you, that was also given by Zhou Wang, and he gave her three at once, but Su Yajing didn't want all of them."

"Ha, are you really crazy, or do you think I'm crazy? Do you think I will believe it? Three Hermès bags... How can there be such a generous man? Do you think Zhou Wang is the heir to our domestic consortium?"

If Cui Min'er was still half-believing and half-doubting just now, she now found it completely ridiculous.

Looking at Cui Min'er with a ridiculous expression on her face, Shen Yutong was completely speechless and could only curse in her heart.

What those netizens said is absolutely right... You people from Korea, what you should really apply for World Heritage status is this stubborn mouth!
While Shen Yutong was trying to persuade Cui Min'er, Zhou Wang, who finally had some free time, checked the system prompts that he had missed before.
