Chapter 122: Hongyi Private Club

Translator: _Min_Editor: Yukira_

The main colors of the building were gold and light gray, an elegant bronze chandelier was hanging in the central dome, and on both sides of the aisle were lined with exquisite European-style marble columns. Under his feet was a soft, red carpet and above his head were star-spangled crystals.

This was just the lobby on the first floor.

Those who occasionally passed by were very quiet as the decoration naturally made people slow down their footsteps. Sitting at the front reception was a gorgeous receptionist, wearing a light makeup on and smiling gracefully at the two of them.

”The spa here is not bad. You should try it. Hehe, but I recommend the activity on the third floor.” Wang Zhiyong laughingly winked at him.

Based on his expression, Jiang Chen knew what type of service to expect on the third floor.

It was obvious that he was a regular at this place since the receptionist appeared to be familiar with him. Without even looking at the card, she started asking what kind of service he would avail.

”The usual for me. What about you?” Wang Zhiyong turned to Jiang Chen.

Feeling awkward, Jiang Chen looked at the list of services a few times. He hadn't been to this kind place before so he could not understand the types of service they were offering.

Spa should be about bathing, right?

But what in the world were the goddess spreading flowers and lotus coming out of the water?

Only the acupuncture and massage sounded normal.

However, since he was already here, it would be rude to just turn around and walk away.

As Jiang Chen pondered on this matter, he decided to go for something light. Truthfully, he already had a beautiful ”wife” back home, so he had little interest in other flowers. He subconsciously thought this would be that kind of place.

But just as he was about to speak, he heard an unfamiliar voice.

”Brother Yong, why didn't you tell me that you'll be here to play. Haha, are you done with your training?” A young man wearing a pair of glasses walked over with a smile on his face and warmly greeted Wang Zhiyong.

Jiang Chen couldn't tell the price of his suit, but from the aura that the man gave off, he felt that he was not a simple character. He didn't look anything special, and the only thing that left an impression on him was a pair of squinting eyes.

Whether he was laughing or not, his eyes appeared to be perpetually squinting.

”Nope. I played hooky. Haha, let's not talk about this. Let me introduce you to someone.”

Wang Zhiyong put his arm around Jiang Chen's shoulder. ”This is the chairman of Future Technology. Jiang Chen, this is Zhou Zihao, a major shareholder of this private club.”

”What major shareholder, only a bunch of friends making some pocket money.” Zhou Zihao modestly smiled and then looked at Jiang Chen. ”I am nowhere comparable to Mr. Jiang. Accomplished at a young age, the Future Technology even made it in Wallstreet Journal. This is truly giving our country glory.”

”I don't deserve such praise, I just got lucky,” Jiang Chen said while smiling; however, in his mind, he was secretly thinking.

Zhou Zihao was not someone who was easy to deal with.

He never thought these second generations of politicians were easy to fool, but rather himself was always at a disadvantage in terms of foresight and shrewdness.

Take Wang Zhiyong for example, Jiang Chen always thought that he was just a little blockhead, but the words he said in the car completely altered his perception of him in his mind. Wang Zhiyong knew too much but he was simply not interested in politics, and that's why he always acted in a straightforward manner.

On the other hand, Jiang Chen couldn't see through Zhou Zihao.

[His name is Zhou? Could it be the Zhou family?]

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen started to become more cautious.

”No, no.” Zhou Zihao offered his hand and shook hand with Jiang Chen. ”Compared to my not-so-accomplished brother, Mr. Jiang's corporation achieve far greater things in the tech industry.”

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Chen's mind turned quickly.

Brother? Does that mean his brother is in charge of military artificial intelligence? But what does this statement mean? A friendly gesture? What kind of relationship does he have with his brother? Competitive or close? He only knew that Wang Family and Zhou Family were cut from the same cloth, but he didn't know the intricacies of these political dynasties.

After all, only a few months ago, he was a nobody.

Wang Zhiyong suddenly laughed and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder, which interrupted his train of thought and said, ”That's enough. Why are you being serious about when we're having fun? Zihao always pretends to be poetic. Don't you feel tired speaking like this?”

”Ahem, this is not a serious talk but only casual greetings.” Zhou Zihao squinted his eyes and smiled

.

”Future Technology is only a start-up company so it doesn't deserve such praise.” Jiang Chen laughed and let his hands go.

”Oh yeah, Zihao, one of your younger brothers, Liu Changlong, seemed to be embroiled in a conflict with Jiang Chen, you take care of it.” Wang Zhiyong chuckled as he looked at Zhou Zihao.

”Liu Changlong?” Zhou Zihao frowned, thought for a moment before his eyebrows relaxed. ”Oh, him. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I'll give you an account of this.”

Jiang Chen waved his hands. ”It's really nothing. Although he did plot against me, now he knew better, so don't worry about it.”

”That won't do.” Zhou Zihao shook his head in seriousness. ”Today will be on me as a token of apology.”

”Pshh, I already said it's on me.” Wang Zhiyong slapped the table with a grin.

Zhou Zihao squinted at him, ”You? The card says that it is only free for you. How many people did you treat with it?”

Wang Zhiyong shamelessly laughed and waive his hand nonchalantly. ”Don't worry about it. Just pretend I used it twice.”

”Is it the first time for Mr. Jiang?” Zhou Zihao glanced at him.

Jiang Chen nodded, slightly embarrassed, ”Hmm.”

Zhou Zihao glanced at the reception, beckoned and whispered a few words to the receptionist.

He then turned around to Jiang Chen, with a smile, ”Sincet this is your first time, then let's start with something light. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?”

[What's something light?]

Jiang Chen was still confused but politely smiled. ”Then I'll listen to the host.”

”What about brother Yong?” Zhi Zihao looked at Wang Zhiyong.

”Haha, I don't play with rookies, you know.” Wang Zhiyong waggled his eyebrows and smiled devilishly.
