Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

Han Che looked down at the bunch of metal keys on the table, with a plastic number tag hanging on it, and an address printed on the tag.

"This is……"

"My dad said your studio is too small, and it's on the top floor of an office building, so it won't be very convenient for carrying out various activities in the future. This building was also developed by our family, but we don't need it for the time being, so we're giving it to you as a donation."

He paused and then added, "The location isn't actually that great; it's a few kilometers from the city center. My dad said it's for you to use temporarily, and if you need it later, he'll try to find a suitable office building in the city center."

"No, no! This is too expensive!" Xiaobai stared wide-eyed and waved her hands repeatedly. Is this some kind of gift that delivers an entire building?

Xiaobai is very familiar with the city's housing prices. She knows how expensive office buildings are near the city center. Even if they are a few kilometers away, it's not a place where their club can easily cause trouble.

Even if Xiaobai's family is rich, they couldn't possibly support her spending so extravagantly.

"No one accepts a reward without merit," and this is an extravagant offer—a whole building! Xiaobai would never dare to accept it.

"Young Master Qi, we appreciate your kindness, but we really can't accept this! Besides, our club doesn't have that many people right now, we don't need an entire building at all!"

Qi Shao blinked and laughed, "Sister Xiaobai, you misunderstood. This isn't one of those big office buildings like the Dragon Club. This is just a three-story building. There used to be a gym upstairs, but it closed down and has been vacant ever since."

"We chose this place mainly because it's not far from the city center, and it's a standalone building so we don't have to share it with other businesses. It's perfect for you to use temporarily."

Han Che looked at Qi Yuhao as he spoke and felt a little emotional. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old student seemed to have changed completely when talking about business; he was much more confident than before.

Xiao Bai opened his mouth as if to say something, but Han Che spoke first: "So what does President Qi need our 78 Club to do?" This time his tone was much more serious, without the casual politeness of before.

"My dad didn't say anything else. After we came back from Tide Prison together last time, he somehow found out about this and got really angry. He scolded me on the phone, saying I was disobedient and making a mess of things."

"But when I contacted him again a few days later, his attitude had changed quite a bit." Qi Shao paused for a moment at this point.

"They didn't mention me going into the dangerous area again, they just wanted me to get to know you guys better. Then yesterday they called again and asked me to send over the sponsorship, and said I should maintain a good relationship with you guys and avoid causing trouble..."

Qi Yuhao is an honest man who doesn't lie; he tells you everything.

"Did President Qi finally agree to go to the dangerous area?" Han Che asked.

Qi Yuhao shook his head: "He still disagrees. But he didn't get angry like before when I brought it up. He just told me, 'You should hang out with Han Che and the others for a while first.'"

"I don't know what my dad is trying to do."

Han Che's expression darkened. Was he simply after the recent popularity of Club 78?

Han Che disagreed. What President Qi and his family definitely didn't lack was just a little bit of traffic. Their business didn't rely on traffic to make a living, and besides, his cooperation request didn't involve promoting them.

Mr. Qi will provide sponsorship, but we don't want any publicity.

He wanted his son to come to the club, but didn't want him to go into dangerous areas.

This contradictory request didn't seem like a simple business cooperation logic at all, and Han Che couldn't understand it.

"Young Master Qi, you're welcome to come to our club anytime you want, and we'll always be happy to have you." Xiao Bai placed the keys on the table and pushed them back towards Qi Yuhao, his tone serious. "But we really can't take this sponsorship."

Qi Yuhao stared at the keys being pushed back for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly. "Sister Xiaobai, this is my father's idea. And to be honest, this building is just sitting empty anyway, it's not a big investment, no need to be so formal."

"Yuhao, how about this?" With the two sides still deadlocked, Han Che spoke up at this moment, "Take the key back first. Even if we really accept it today, we won't be moving there anytime soon. The club is very busy right now, and there are still many things to deal with. It's not like we can just move to a different place and things will be sorted out immediately."

Qi Yuhao opened his mouth as if to say something, but Han Che raised his hand to stop him from speaking. Then he took the business card from the drawer and handed it to Qi Yuhao: "You have my contact information, right? Here, take this one too."

He pointed to the number printed on the business card, "This is Xiaobai's phone number, keep it safe. Also, please give me President Qi's contact information."

Qi Yuhao took the business card and looked at it. Han Che continued, "Let's put it another way. This house was sponsored by President Qi. We need to communicate with him in person to understand his intentions. Otherwise, we really wouldn't dare to accept it."

"We need to know what your dad is really thinking before we can accept this sponsorship with peace of mind."

Otherwise, if something goes wrong or we get caught in a major scandal, we'll have nowhere to turn for help. Of course, Han Che wouldn't say this out loud.

Qi Yuhao stood there for a while, clutching the key and business card in his hand, and finally nodded after a long pause.

"Alright then, it's really hard to get through to my dad on the phone. He's usually very busy. I'll tell him and have him call you later."

"Okay!" Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded at Qi Yuhao, "Just call me, I'm free anytime."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Qi Yuhao was still standing there, holding the keys and business card in his hands, looking hesitant. "What's wrong, Young Master Qi? Is there anything else?"

Qi Yuhao hesitated for a moment, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Han Che and Xiao Bai. "Um... Brother Han, could I ask you for an autographed photo?"

"But Sister Xiaobai just said you're closed today, so I can come another day."

Xiao Bai and Han Che were both taken aback. Xiao Bai reacted first, turning to look at Han Che with a smile on her face: "Brother Han? Aren't you going to take the initiative?"

Han Che snapped out of his daze, waved his hand, stood up from his chair, and patted the seat next to him: "Come on! Take a picture! You're a friend, not a fan, what's wrong with that?"

He beckoned Qi Yuhao to come to his side, and the two of them stood in front of the white wall in the conference room.

When Qi Yuhao stood next to him, he was still a little reserved, unsure of where to put his hands. Han Che put an arm around his shoulder and turned his head to say, "Relax, it's not like we're meeting for the first time."

The two stood side by side. Han Che smiled at the phone that Xiao Bai was holding, and Qi Yuhao grinned back, but it was obvious that he looked a little stiff.

Xiao Bai shouted "Ready!", pressed the shutter, and then had them take a few more pictures from different angles.

After Qi Yuhao took the photos, his smile became much more natural.

After taking all the photos, he looked at them on his phone several times, nodding in extreme satisfaction.
