Chapter 111: Don’t Tell Me the Cost

Imperial Club.

Even during the daytime, with few people around, there were no fewer than ten luxury cars in the parking lot.

After parking, Long San and Long Si stayed in the car while Xu Shaochen led Mei Liangxin and the others into the club.

“Welcome, gentlemen. Please, come inside.”

As soon as they walked in, more than ten women in cheongsams standing by the sides smiled and welcomed them.

These women were all of similar height, with good figures. The pink cheongsams made them look even more alluring, and their smiles were just the right amount of welcoming.

“It’s my first time here. Show me around.”

Xu Shaochen casually pulled one of the women into his arms, shamelessly sniffing the faint scent of her perfume at her neck.

“Sir, we don’t provide that kind of service.”

The woman’s body stiffened. She leaned into Xu Shaochen’s embrace but dared not move, offering a slightly apologetic smile, clearly feeling uneasy.

“Mr. Xu, these ladies are all part-timers. They don’t entertain guests.”

Zhang Wei leaned in and quietly explained to Xu Shaochen. These women were all students from prestigious universities or white-collar workers who came here to earn a bit of extra money on weekends.

“Oh? Is that so?”

Xu Shaochen chuckled nonchalantly and casually pulled out a wad of cash, stuffing it into the woman’s hands. “Is this enough?”

“Yes, yes, thank you, sir. Thank you!”

Holding the money, the woman’s previously troubled expression instantly dissolved into excitement. Her face flushed with joy.

They earned a thousand a day just for standing here. That’s not bad.

But Xu Shaochen had given her way more than that!

Besides, Xu Shaochen only wanted her to show him around, not to sleep with him. It was totally acceptable.

Mei Liangxin and the others were speechless. Once again, they witnessed the sheer power of cold, hard cash.

The other women, seeing this, were filled with envy. After all, weren’t they here for the money too? Plus, it was just hugging and holding; as long as they didn’t have to sleep with someone, they were fine with it! “Sir, you’re here at an off-time. There aren’t many events during the day. Most are held at night.”

Now that she had been paid, the woman naturally became more professional, introducing Xu Shaochen to everything inside the Imperial Club as they walked.

“Oh? What sort of events?” As Xu Shaochen asked, his hand naturally rested on her waist.

The woman blushed, biting her lip as she said, “There are many. If you’re interested, you can come play at night.”

“Get us a private room and call some ladies to join us for a few drinks.”

Xu Shaochen said casually, guessing it must be something like the legendary ‘Haitian Banquet’.

“What kind of private room would you prefer, sir?” The woman tried to ignore Xu Shaochen’s wandering hand, her entire body trembling slightly.

“The best one.”

Xu Shaochen smiled at her and then released his grip.

“Sir, the best is the Diamond Room, but it has certain spending requirements…”

“Don’t tell me the cost. I’m not interested in hearing a bunch of numbers, OK?”

Before she could finish, Xu Shaochen impatiently cut her off. Talking about money was too low-class; after all, he prided himself on being a gentleman.

Mei Liangxin and the others were dumbfounded. Damn, this was some next-level finesse!

“Understood, sir… Please wait a moment. I’ll handle it right away.”

The woman stared at Xu Shaochen with slightly parted lips, her face full of shock. Xu Shaochen was wealthier than she expected because the cost of the Diamond Room, not counting drinks, already exceeded six figures.

A few minutes later, the woman returned with a keycard, looking at Xu Shaochen as she said, “This way, sir.”

Xu Shaochen and the others followed her to a private room at the end of the corridor. When they opened the door, they were greeted by an incredibly luxurious space.

The room was vast, probably enough to accommodate dozens of people having a good time. An entire wall was filled with various expensive wines.

Even the carpet was made from some sort of animal fur that Xu Shaochen couldn’t identify, and the custom-made chandelier overhead sparkled like a canopy of stars.

Though this was their first time in such a place, none of the four showed any surprise. After all, keeping up appearances was essential.

“I’ve heard a lot about the Diamond Room at the Imperial Club. It looks pretty nice.”

Zhang Wei said nonchalantly, maintaining a calm tone.

“It’s alright. Not as good as I imagined.”

Mei Liangxin agreed, sounding indifferent, as if this wasn’t his first time at such a high-end place.

The waiter had no doubts that they were just putting on a show. After all, Xu Shaochen’s generosity had instantly elevated everyone’s status.

The four of them went in and sat down on the sofa, the soft leather instantly relaxing their limbs.

“Massage my shoulders.”

Xu Shaochen closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, speaking casually to the cheongsam-clad woman.

“Yes, sir.”

Without any hesitation, the woman smiled and stood up, moving behind Xu Shaochen to start massaging his shoulders.

Soon, the door to the private room opened again, and a middle-aged man in a black suit entered first, followed by a line of over ten women.

Some of these women wore cheongsams, others wore short skirts, jeans, and even a few dressed in traditional belly bands.

But they all shared one thing in common: they were gorgeous, with outstanding figures and temperaments.

Any one of them would be a goddess in the outside world, yet here they were, just serving drinks and entertaining guests.

“Esteemed guests, I am the manager of the Imperial Club. Are these ladies to your satisfaction? If not, we can switch them out.”

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Shaochen and the others with a polite smile. After all, in business, peace was paramount, and the customer was king.

For every Diamond Room guest, he, as the manager, would personally come to greet them. It was a sign of respect.

“No need, just keep them all.”

Xu Shaochen shook his head and replied. He was quite satisfied with the quality of the women before him, so there was no need to switch.

“All… all of them?”

The manager was stunned. He hadn’t expected Xu Shaochen to have such a big appetite. After all, each of these women came with a hefty price tag.

Each of them had a top-tier figure, stunning looks, and hailed from prestigious universities, with impeccable talents. Training these women had cost a fortune, so the price for their company was sky-high.

“Yes, keep them all, and bring us some food. Also, replace the wines on the rack with Pinot Noir.”

Xu Shaochen said calmly. Money was just paper, and the point of coming out to play was to have fun. Wasn’t it worth spending a little to enjoy oneself?

“Understood… Please wait a moment.”

The manager swallowed nervously as he looked at Xu Shaochen. He was now convinced that this guy was certainly some big shot from a notable group, likely wealthier than he initially thought.

After all, the Pinot Noir Xu Shaochen requested cost nearly 250,000 per bottle, and he used the word ‘batch’, which meant at least ten bottles.

What a lavish spender. The manager felt a wave of opulence crash over him, almost blinding him with its intensity.
