My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan

Zichen Palace International Club
This newly opened KTV is incredibly popular lately. I heard that a while ago, a big spender was handing out money in the private rooms—everyone who walked in received 5000 yuan. He gave away millions in one night, even the cleaning lady. Unfortunately, only the women received it. Many male models were heartbroken, wondering why there wasn't a female tycoon like that.

It's said that since that day, even more beauties have come to work at Zichen Palace, many of whom consider themselves outstanding and want to stalk that super-rich man. This has resulted in the beauties at Zichen Palace being of a much higher standard than those at other commercial KTVs, making it extremely popular with guests, and private rooms are truly full every day without advance reservations.

However, ever since Chen Xiao came that day, the boss has kept the VIP room, just in case Mr. Chen comes and there is no room available. This room will no longer be open to the public unless Mr. Chen comes.

On the first floor, Gao Lei and Xu Guang entered the lobby together and saw that there were many people queuing up.

"Holy crap, in this environment, there are still KTVs where you have to wait for a table?" Gao Lei was also amazed. In Beijing, many venues were desperately short of customers, and even those that only charged 600 yuan in tips couldn't survive. He heard that the hostesses here charged 2500 yuan or more, yet they were still packed. Chinese people just love to join in the fun; they like to go wherever there are crowds.

"Let's talk to the boss. My brother-in-law will be here in a bit. It's okay for us to wait, but it's not appropriate to make him wait, considering he's such an important person."

Gao Lei quickly replied, "That's right, that's right. It's definitely not okay to keep General Manager Wang waiting. Let me talk to their supervisor."

After saying that, I went to ask where the floor manager was.
The last time he came to Jiangzhou, he was caught by Chen Xiao because of He Qing, and "Abstract Live Talking About Cars" and Xu Guang slapped him, which strained their relationship. But Gao Lei has recently developed a lot of business in Jiangzhou and has deeply realized that doing business requires being able to compromise and be willing to lower oneself when necessary.

Wang Jian of Huadi Group was his most important target, and he still wanted to give it a shot, so he contacted Xu Guang. Unexpectedly, Xu Guang had become quite powerful, and no longer addressed Wang Jian as "President Wang," but as "Brother-in-law." Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that Xu Guang's sister had somehow gotten involved with Wang Jian, which was quite a mess.

However, Gao Lei only called Xu Guang his brother-in-law for fun. He guessed that his sister would never be able to enter the Wang family. At most, she would be a mistress. But with this relationship, he could make another connection through Xu Guang.

Today was a day to invite Xu Guang out for a good time. Xu Guang even chose this place, saying he wanted to call his brother-in-law, Wang Jian, over tonight. This was an unexpected surprise. Gao Lei never expected Wang Jian to arrive in Jiangzhou tonight, let alone that Xu Guang would bring his brother-in-law to Shang K. He probably knew about his sister's relationship with Wang Jian.

Having found the floor manager, Gao Lei asked if he could cut in line, hinting that he could offer a small favor. He cursed inwardly, "What kind of world is this? Usually when I go to KTV, the waitresses or managers beg me to come. Today, to book a private room, I have to beg and give a tip."

The floor manager refused without hesitation, "Boss, look at all these people queuing up. If they all try to cut in line, wouldn't that create chaos? Besides, if I let you cut in line, wouldn't people come after me?"

Gao Lei knew this, but the person who came that night was a big shot—the heir of Huadi Group, the group's vice president. He could do whatever he wanted anywhere—oh, no, he probably wouldn't dare to do so in Jiangzhou, because there was someone here who was even more powerful than his father.

Even if you can't act arrogantly in Jiangzhou, can't you act arrogantly in a business? "Brother, do me a favor, my guest today is a very important person."

A very important person? How important? If it's that Mr. Chen from that night, it's easy to handle; the VIP room is right there.

Noticing the hesitation in the floor manager's expression, Gao Lei's heart skipped a beat. It seemed like he had a chance. He whispered, "Brother, do me a favor, 1000 yuan tip."

The floor manager checked the time; it was already 11:30 PM. If Mr. Chen didn't come by now, he definitely wouldn't. If this important person the guest mentioned was truly distinguished, could they perhaps ask the boss to make an appointment for him?

While he hesitated, two young men who had been watching them closely were also listening to their conversation and observing the floor manager's reaction.

One of them said, "Yulong, look at that director's reaction. It seems like he has a way to coordinate things."

The one called Yulong nodded: "We're first in line. If they don't give us a private room later, I'll definitely complain about the manager."

"Yulong, we're from out of town, shouldn't we keep a low profile?" the young man asked, sounding a little nervous.

The one called Yulong snorted: "Why should outsiders be bullied? Besides, we're not fighting. What's there to be afraid of in reasoning? They're in business. Do you think we'll get beaten up if we reason with them?"

Then he added, "This lousy place, I knew I shouldn't have come. We've been waiting for so long, what time will we finally get some rest? I was planning to visit my sister tomorrow."

"Oh my, you know what, it's been years since I've seen your sister. I usually only see her online. She's getting more and more beautiful. Even though there are so many beautiful women in this shopping mall, compared to your sister, they're not even worthy of carrying her shoes."

The man named Yulong's face suddenly turned cold. "Haozi, do you fucking want to die? Comparing the people here to my sister?"

Haozi quickly said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I didn't mean it that way. You know, I've always been—"

"Shut up, Lin Hao. How could you possibly think of my sister? If it weren't for the fact that we're neighbors, and if it weren't for the fact that you took a hit for me back in middle school, why would I bring you to Jiangzhou and have my sister arrange a job for you?"

Lin Hao quickly apologized. He had no choice; his main purpose in coming was to find a job. As for Yu Long's sister, they were worlds apart, beyond his reach. Fortunately, Yu Long had always been kind to him, not only helping him find a job but also taking him to the most famous place in Jiangzhou.

As they were talking, they saw the floor manager whispering something to Gao Lei. At the end, the manager seemed to say that he had to report and told Gao Lei to wait for news.

"Yulong, it looks like they're really going to succeed in cutting in line!"

“It’s okay, we’ll wait for them to take their guests over, then we’ll follow them and ask them face to face why they allowed others to cut in line when it was already our turn.”

Lin Hao glanced at Gao Lei, then at Xu Guang standing beside him, and felt a surge of confidence. He figured if these two were to fight, they probably wouldn't be a match for the two of them. Especially Yu Long, who was almost 190cm tall; one of him could probably take on both of them.

Xu Guang watched the floor manager's figure gradually disappear and laughed, "That guy's got some sense. But it seems like there's definitely something going on. Did they even reserve a private room?"

Gao Lei laughed and said, "The main reason is that President Wang's identity is too intimidating. They dare not neglect him. The boss might come out in person later. At the very least, he will go to the private room to toast him tonight."

He thought this was normal. Looking across the country, how many people who knew Wang Jian's identity wouldn't want to come and make his acquaintance?

Xu Guang's phone buzzed. He picked it up and glanced at it, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's not just my brother-in-law who's a big shot tonight, there's another one too, General Manager Qin, the head of the large appliance division of the Rice Group."

Gao Lei was overjoyed. The Rice Group! If they could establish a partnership, this would be another super-large client. He had to make sure these two gentlemen were well taken care of tonight, no matter what.

Yu Long said to Lin Hao, "Haozi, I'll go up first. You stay down here and keep watch. If they go with that supervisor, it means they've managed to get a spot, and I'll wait for them upstairs. If they can't get a spot, and it's our turn in line, you can stay down here and avoid missing out."

Lin Hao nodded. People who come to drink at night rarely finish this early; who knows how long the queue will last.

Not long after Yulong went up, the floor manager indeed came down. Lin Hao saw him wave to Gao Lei, and then Gao Lei followed with Xu Guang. Lin Hao quickly sent a message to inform Yulong.

Once inside the elevator, the floor manager said, "You two are lucky today. That private room is reserved by our restaurant for a very important person. It's not usually open to the public. I just went to ask the boss, and it's already 11:30 pm. That person probably won't be able to come over, so we agreed to let you use this private room."

Xu Guang laughed heartily: "The private room was reserved for important figures, but now that we've met an even more important one, of course we have to open it up."

A bigger figure? Not at all! The floor manager didn't know who that Mr. Chen from that day was, but considering the boss's level of attention, the vice president of Huadi, the heir apparent, and the general manager of the home appliance division of Dami Group who were being reported today were indeed valued by the boss, but compared to Mr. Chen from that night, the floor manager felt they were insignificant.

Every time Mr. Chen was mentioned, the boss's expression would become very solemn; he held Mr. Chen in great awe. But today, when Mr. Wang and Mr. Qin from the Rice Group were mentioned, he only nodded slightly, showing respect, but not necessarily a strong one.

The floor manager always thought his boss was quite arrogant, seemingly only making him feel intimidated and subservient like a grandson, Mr. Chen. He always held his head high, as if no one else mattered to him.

Upon arriving at the private room, they said, "Great! This is a VIP room. This must be your most luxurious room. It's perfect for hosting your most distinguished guests."

The floor manager nodded. "Yes, we'll definitely reserve the best private room for that guest."

Xu Guang snorted disdainfully, "Forget about that guest. I already told you who's coming tonight. Your guest doesn't even have the right to sit in front of tonight's guests. No, he probably doesn't even have the right to stand and talk."

The floor manager sneered and remained silent. Whatever you say, as long as you're happy. The other person isn't here anyway. That night, there was this guy named Mr. Liu, all high and mighty, who went to their private room to cause trouble, and ended up with his head cracked open. He was yelling about revenge that night.

Later, after learning the identity of the man named Mr. Ma from that night, Mr. Liu went to apologize the next day with a bandage on his head.

Xu Guang was immediately displeased when he saw Wang Jian's sneer. Recently, with Wang Jian as his brother-in-law, he'd become arrogant again. In Jiangzhou, apart from General Manager Chen, he looked down on everyone else.

"You do not believe?"

The floor manager, who was supposed to avoid offending customers, thought about Mr. Chen that night and said, "I'm sorry, I can't trust a single thing—"

"Damn it," Xu Guang scoffed, "You'll come over here to offer a toast later, giving you a chance to meet some big shots." He used to be so arrogant just by bragging, but now with such a powerful brother-in-law, how could he not be invincible?
The floor manager remained silent. The distinguished guests here were indeed people he looked up to, so offering a toast wouldn't be a bad thing.

Just as Gao Lei and Xu Guang were about to go inside, someone suddenly said, "Wait a minute—"

The group turned around at the same time and saw a young man who was nearly 190cm tall walking over with an angry expression.

"Yulong, Yulong—", another person ran from the elevator lobby towards this side, shouting as they ran.

Gao Lei and Xu Guang could see clearly that the person behind them seemed to be the same person who had just followed them onto the elevator; he was also a guest.

At this moment, the floor manager said to Yulong, "Distinguished guest, is there anything I can help you with?"

Yu Long snorted, "How can a store this big have no rules at all? We were clearly first in line, and you actually arranged for someone to cut in. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm definitely going to file a complaint. I don't believe your boss allows you to operate like this." The floor manager's expression changed. If this customer complaint wasn't handled properly, it would affect the store's reputation. Just as he was thinking about how to resolve it, Xu Guang said, "Brother, this isn't cutting in line. This is a private room reserved for VIPs. Ordinary people aren't allowed in."

After glancing at Xu Guang, the floor manager almost cursed. What kind of bullshit explanation was this? Did the store openly discriminate against customers?

Yu Long glanced at the private room number and asked, "How does the restaurant distinguish customers' identities? What kind of customers are considered VIPs, and are there minimum spending requirements?"

The floor manager really didn't know how to explain it. This concept of "distinguished guest" was something Xu Guang made up. How could he possibly explain it?

Fortunately, he didn't need to speak. Xu Guang continued, "In short, tonight's guest is someone you can never reach in your lifetime. Even if you can meet him, it's all thanks to the good deeds of your ancestors."

Gao Lei glanced at Xu Guang. This guy's gotten so arrogant lately; his mouth was starting to resemble an "abstract live-stream car talker." If he got this cocky, what if he ran into Chen Xiao again? Wouldn't he be in for a world of hurt? But right now, he needed to curry favor with Xu Guang, so he definitely wouldn't speak ill of him.

Yu Long was furious. What kind of nonsense was this? His family wasn't exactly poor either. "Come, come, call your distinguished guest here. Let me see what kind of idiot he is."

The floor manager was really afraid they would start fighting, so he said, "Two distinguished guests, let's go inside and talk—" which immediately attracted a crowd outside.

What a jerk! Daring to call himself the vice president of Huadi Group, the general manager of the large appliance division of Dami Group, he's got some nerve. Xu Guang almost jumped up: "Kid, you've got guts. I hope you don't cry when you see him."

"Cry? In all my life, I've only ever made others cry. I don't even know what tears taste like."

"I hope you're still arrogant later—"

Gao Lei sensed something was wrong. This was a social occasion, and if Xu Guang continued like this, a conflict was bound to break out. But no matter what, he was determined to stand firmly on Xu Guang's side.

Just then, the outer door was pushed open, and a young man entered, followed by several burly men, much stronger than the one named Yulong. Xu Guang immediately stood up and called out, "Brother-in-law—", his voice even a little coquettish, which gave Gao Lei goosebumps.

Wang Jian nodded, looked at Yu Long and Lin Hao, and asked Xu Guang, "Are they all your friends?"

Xu Guang shook his head. "No, they're here to cause trouble."

Looking for trouble? A cold glint flashed in Wang Jian's eyes. Had he been too low-key lately, to the point that anyone dared to defecate or urinate on his head?

Although Yu Long wasn't cowardly, he wasn't reckless either. If a conflict broke out, he knew he would be at a disadvantage. The man before him, with bodyguards, was clearly someone of high status. A thought struck him, and he turned to the floor manager, asking, "How should we handle this?"

The floor manager sighed and said, "VIP, a private room is coming up soon. Can we give it to you as soon as possible? I'll go out and help you coordinate right now."

Yu Long shook his head. "That's definitely not going to work. We were here first. Why weren't we given a private room? Is it because I can't afford it?"

Xu Guang sneered and said to Wang Jian, "Brother-in-law, look at this guy, he's still talking back."

Yu Long glared at him. "Damn it, don't push your luck. I'm going to talk to the floor manager, and you keep causing trouble."

Wang Jian waved his hand, as if shooing away flies, and said to Yu Long and Lin Hao, "Get out of here right now, or I'll have someone throw you out."

"Why don't you give it a try—?" Yu Long didn't want to provoke Wang Jian, but the young man's temper flared up. Didn't he have any pride?
"Oh, you're pretty arrogant. I'll count to three, and if you don't get out of here, you can throw him out—"

Just then, Yulong's phone rang. He took it out, glanced at it, and answered without thinking, while Wang Jian started shouting, "One!"

Yu Long said into the phone, "Ah, sister, I've arrived in Jiangzhou. I'm singing with Lin Hao at Zichen Palace right now. Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow."

"two"

"It's okay, we'll just sing a few songs and then go back to the hotel."

"three"

"Uh, oh crap, what are you doing?"

Pa~!

Yu Long was being dragged out the door by Wang Jian's bodyguard, who had one hand around his neck and the other behind his back, pressing his head down like a dead dog. A cell phone on the floor crackled to life: "Hello, hello—Yu Long, what happened? Yu Long—"

"Let go, you motherfucker!" Yu Long struggled fiercely, but couldn't move an inch. Just as he reached the door, the bodyguard released him. Just as Yu Long was about to turn around, he was kicked hard in the lower back, sending him flying. He slid to his knees and crashed into the opposite wall with a loud thud, startling the floor manager. "Damn, are all big shots this ruthless?"

Wang Jian snorted from inside and said, "This is the price of showing off."

The voice on the ground grew increasingly anxious, "Yulong, Yulong—"

Wang Jian smiled and said, "This young man's sister has a very charming voice."

Xu Guang laughed and said, "Why don't we call him over, have him apologize to you, brother-in-law, and then we'll let her brother go?"

"That's not right. Bullying men and women is not something a decent person like me would do."

Xu Guang knew what he was thinking and also wanted to see what Yu Long's sister looked like. After all, Yu Long was quite handsome, so his sister should be pretty good-looking too.

He stepped forward and picked up the phone. "They were still calling out 'Yulong' on it. At the same time, I seemed to hear the sound of a car engine. It looks like they're heading this way. Perfect, they've walked right into our trap."

"Hey—", Xu Guang called out.

The person on the other end paused for a moment, then asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? Where is my brother?"

Xu Guang laughed and said, "Your brother is fine. We invited him over for a few drinks. When you arrive, we'll leave him with our friends, have a few drinks as a token gesture, and then we can take him away."

"Okay, give me the box number."

Xu Guang readily gave the other party the private room number, and after hanging up the phone, he laughed heartily at Wang Jian: "This woman is quite sensible. I said I was coming over for a drink to give to a friend, and she said okay. She's on her way now."

Wang Jian said to the bodyguard, "Drag those two in."

Yu Long shouted as he fought with the bodyguards, but he was no match for them and was quickly subdued and dragged in like a dead dog.

Wang Jian poured himself a glass of Louis XIII, held it in his hand, looked at the jade dragon glaring at him, and said with a sinister smile, "The way you look at me, I'm so scared—"

"Don't be like that. Your sister will be here soon. We can all get together, have a drink, and maybe we'll become a family, haha."

Yu Long saw his phone in Xu Guang's hand and, upon hearing Wang Jian's words, suddenly realized that his sister knew he was at the Zichen Palace International Club. She must have heard what had just happened and was anxiously coming to find him. Wouldn't that be like walking into a trap? These people clearly weren't good people. What if his beautiful sister got taken advantage of?

Thinking of this, his eyes widened in fury. "You bastards, come at me if you dare! If you dare touch my sister, I swear I'll kill your whole family!"

He struggled to break free, trying to go out and stop his sister from coming over, but he couldn't break free.

Wang Jian stood up, walked over to him, and said, "You're certainly not one to back down with your words. Have a drink to clear your head."

Drinking to clear your head? Just as everyone was puzzled, Wang Jian poured half a glass of Louis XIII directly onto Yu Long's face.

"You bastard—if you have the guts, kill me."

"Kill you? No rush. Wait for your sister to come over, then I'll see if she's pretty enough. If she is, I'll give her a chance to forgive you; if, unfortunately, she doesn't meet my standards, young man, you'll suffer twice over. Haha—"

Wang Jian felt a morbid pleasure. He realized that bullying others was so enjoyable. He recalled being humiliated by Chen Xiao for a while and realized that bullying others could be addictive.

Yu Long was furious, but his eyes were filled with fear. He couldn't even imagine the consequences if his sister came.

*Beep beep*—The doorbell rang twice, and the private room fell silent. Everyone looked towards the door. Yu Long's sister arrived so quickly? (End of Chapter)
