As high as its 49 floors, the Long’s Dining Hall’s shape resembled two Golden Dragons, whereas the middle arch was used for the anteroom with a sphere-like shape, which was the manifestation of two dragons playing with a bead. From afar, its majesty and grandiosity gave everyone who looked at it a sense of oppression. Four security guards stood straight as spears outside the entrance, whereas a welcoming lady in formal attire kept smiling while checking out the guests’ VIP membership cards.
At the entrance, a limousine stopped and left again. However, when a taxi stopped before the entrance, eyes were immediately attracted to it, with despise and contempt within them.
Tang Xiu got off the car along with Chen Wei, who looked somewhat unnatural. As he came to the welcoming lady, he said calmly, “I’m sorry Miss, I forgot to bring my membership card.”
The welcoming lady showed an apologetic expression as she said, “Sir, Long’s Dining Hall needs a membership card to enter. Unless you’re a regular patron here. You’ve to look…”
Chen Wei’s expression instantly turned a bit ugly. After hesitating for a moment, she repressed the urge to turn around and leave.
It was a disgrace. Shameful! Because she found that Tang Xiu basically had no membership card here, whereas he was acting as though he was someone who had the rights to enter, wanting to join in.
Tang Xiu’s brow rose. His vision shifted toward the four securities and found one he saw previously. He faced the security guard as he waved and said, “Hey you. Come here.”
The four security guards looked at Tang Xiu. The one who Tang Xiu knew and was called, immediately approached with a respectful expression, saying, “Hello, Mr. Tang, is there anything I can do for you?”
“Can you tell her that I’m a regular patron here?” Tang Xiu said.
The security guard then spoke to the welcoming lady, “Mr. Tang has been here many times and he’s also VIP, as well as Young Master Zhengyu’s friend.”
The welcoming lady’s eyes flickered. Her face turned respectful as she said with a nod, “I’m really sorry for just now, Mr. Tang. Please come inside.”
Tang Xiu nodded and turned around, looking at Chen Wei’s surprised expression as he then walked through the entrance.
Even in her dreams, Chen Wei had never thought that everything would turn 180 degrees. Looking astonished, she hurriedly followed Tang Xiu through the entrance.
“Oh my God! This place is way too luxurious, isn’t it? Much more than those foreign 5-star hotels.” Chen Wei looked around for a while and asked with a dropped jaw, “Tang Xiu, are you really a member here?”
“Do you think we would be able to enter if I was not a member?” Tang Xiu asked back.
“B-But, the taxi driver said that only the wealthy and powerful can dine here.” Chen Wei replied and asked curiously, “How did you…”
“You don’t think I’m a big shot, do you?” Tang Xiu sneered.
“Hmph. What big shot, eh?!” Chen Wei snapped and said. “At the most, you’re just only a smart high school graduate, nothing else!”
Tang Xiu shook his head and sighed, “Just forget it. You also have a backward IQ, it seems!” Then, he continued, “Aside from your fierce mouth, I really have no expectation from your brain. Let’s just go. And please, less nonsense and less asking, will you? Just fill your belly with whatever you want.”
Chen Wei angrily glared at Tang Xiu. But finding him headed inside directly, she swallowed her anger and followed him inside.
Tang Xiu didn’t want to take the presidential box because he thought that there was no need for him to expend much on entertaining Chen Wei. After all, the presidential box was astronomical and he didn’t want to waste his money, even if he could afford it. Therefore, he took the standard box and walked behind the attendant.
“WOW! It’s really luxurious!” Chen Wei was just like Granny Liu who visits the Grand View Garden, with a dropped jaw, she said, “We can also see half of Star City from here.”
Tang shook his head. Whilst glancing at the attendant who was chuckling and covering her mouth, he said, “Get us a few of your specialties, four meat dishes, and two staples. Ah, a pot of soup also.”
“OK, please wait!” The waiter quickly complied, and soon, another one came to serve tea.
Chen Wei stood before the window, looking at the outside city landscape, exclaiming, “Damn! The rich really have a good life! This great aunt—I, socialize well, I’ll simply find a wealthy second generation nouveau-riche and marry him. Spending my time drinking and seeking pleasure and partying every night.”
“And I dare say you’ll be beaten by your man, since you don’t do your responsibilities to take care of him,” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
“In life one gotta have the ability to take care of themselves, no?!” Chen Wei talked back, and then asked, “Ah, right, where’s the restroom? I need to fix my makeup and then wait for the grand meal.”
“Go out and ask the attendants, they’ll take you there.” Tang Xiu said.
“Alright!” Chen Wei complied loudly, walking lively out of the box.
4-5 minutes later.
The cell phone in Tang Xiu’s pocket rang. When he took it out and saw the caller ID, he suddenly frowned, since the one calling was Chen Wei.
