"This...,"

Upon hearing Zheng Shaofeng cut straight to the chase and ask for the top-tier private room, the lobby manager immediately started to stammer.

It wasn't that he doubted Zheng Shaofeng's financial ability to pay for such an exclusive room.

He had some understanding of this second-generation rich guy's identity and knew that money wasn't an issue for him, but the problem was that someone had already booked the top-tier room early this morning.

"Uh, Mr. Zheng, I'm truly sorry, but the top-tier private room was booked this morning. You see, why don't you consider changing to a grand private room...,"

"What? It's already been booked?"

The moment Zheng Shaofeng heard this, his face darkened. If the top-tier private room was taken by someone else, what was the point of bringing all these people here for fun?

"Shaofeng! I don't care; I just want to celebrate my birthday in the top-tier private room. It's my birthday today and you promised me!"

As he was hesitating about how to deal with the situation, Shanshan clung to Zheng Shaofeng's arm and started to throw a tantrum coquettishly.

This only made Zheng Shaofeng furrow his brows even more.

He had invited all his friends from his social circle today, and now he couldn't even satisfy his girlfriend's request. How would he face everyone in Jinling if this got out?

"Manager, is the person who reserved the private room inside? How about you call him out, and I'll have a talk with him?"

Zheng Shaofeng asked the lobby manager.

He thought to himself, he could offer double the price later on! No matter what, he couldn't lose face today!

"Uh, this, he... he hasn't arrived yet...,"

The lobby manager explained hesitantly. He was puzzled; the person said they would come in the morning, but they were still not here. Could it be they wouldn't come at all?

"Then why didn't you say so earlier? If it's empty, then it's empty. Okay! I, Zheng Shaofeng, am taking the top-tier private room now!"

Upon hearing that no one was in the top-tier private room at the moment, Zheng Shaofeng couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking this whole conversation was a waste of his saliva.

He then led his group towards the third floor of the Prosperous Dynasty.

"Eh! Mr. Zheng, please, wait! We have rules here. If a private room is booked, we can't let other guests in. Please understand!"

At that moment, the lobby manager rushed over, pleading earnestly.

Zheng Shaofeng saw this and, irritated, furrowed his brow and huffed, "You dare block me? Don't you know who I am?"

"Hmph, you just want more money, right? Today, I'll pay you ten times the amount later, satisfied?"

"This..."

Upon hearing the offer of ten times the price, the lobby manager immediately became tempted, thinking that it was better to let out the empty room and make some money.

After all, the price offered by Zheng Shaofeng was tenfold!

"Hey, why are you standing there like an idiot? You're not worried my boyfriend doesn't have the money, are you?"

At that moment, Shanshan, with her arm around Zheng Shaofeng, urged the manager again. Snapping back to reality, the lobby manager quickly nodded his head.

"Eh! Don't you worry! I'll have someone arrange it right now!"

"Eh! Shaofeng! You're so handsome! I love you to death!"

After the lobby manager left, Shanshan hugged Zheng Shaofeng and excitedly kissed his face while their friends also cheered enthusiastically.

Zheng Shaofeng gestured modestly, smiling, "Heh, why the excitement? It's just money. If there's one thing our family never lacks, it's money."

"Heh, unlike some nouveau riches who have never seen money before, they get a luxury car and go around showing off!"

Zheng Shaofeng said lightly, his gaze casually drifting over to Xu Fan.

"You!"

It was clear to anyone with eyes that he was mocking someone intentionally. Seeing this, Xia Xiaodie couldn't help feeling furious.

It wasn't that she was taking Xu Fan's side—it was just that she couldn't stand people who belittled others to show off themselves.

In her view, Zheng Shaofeng had previously insulted Xu Fan, and Xu Fan's retaliation was totally justified.

"Okay, Xiaodie, stop talking, today is Shanshan's birthday..."

Guan Shimeng hurried out and blocked Xia Xiaodie, who was about to confront Zheng Shaofeng.

She didn't have a good impression of Zheng Shaofeng either, but after all, Zheng Shaofeng was Shanshan's boyfriend.

Today was Shanshan's birthday, and starting a quarrel with Zheng Shaofeng would probably ruin her birthday.

The only one to pity was Xu Fan...

Guan Shimeng pursed her red lips and looked towards Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, silly girl, do you think I can be that petty?"

Seeing Guan Shimeng's guilty face, Xu Fan quickly consoled her.

Although this social gathering arose because of Guan Shimeng, the group's targeting of him had nothing to do with her.

He certainly wouldn't be petty enough to hold a grudge against her.

"Alright, they've all gone inside, let's not just stand out here for no reason."

Seeing Shanshan waving at the entrance to the top-grade private room, Xu Fan immediately urged them on.

He had faced countless dangers on the battlefield! Now, just a few sneers from milk-scented rich kids couldn't possibly defeat him.

"Xiaodie! Shimeng! Hurry up, come here, I've already picked our favorite song!"

Now leading Guan Shimeng and Xia Xiaodie into the top-grade private room, Shanshan seized the microphone and whisked the two girls away, inviting them to sing together.

Xu Fan smiled and gave them a look, signaling them to go ahead, and then found a corner to sit down in.

With different paths, there's no planning together, and he wasn't in the least bit interested in gambling and drinking with Zheng Shaofeng and his group.

Instead of joining them, he'd rather listen to Guan Shimeng and Xia Xiaodie sing.

Speaking of which, Shimeng really sang quite well.

Her clear voice was like a refreshing spring, lucid and lively in the middle, which made listening extremely comfortable, as if one were in an idyllic paradise~

At that moment, Xu Fan watched the girl who had grown into her potential and couldn't help but think to himself.

If she were to debut, it likely wouldn't take long for her to become explosively popular! She would become one of Huaxia's top idol stars!

"Hehe! Got lost in the music there, didn't you?"

While engrossed in the music, suddenly a petite figure jumped next to Xu Fan and slapped him!

"Hm? Why did you stop singing?"

Obviously, it was Xia Xiaodie who had come over and was questioned by him. Pouting her lips, she said, "Psh, it's boring. I'm not like Shimeng. She has always dreamed of becoming a singing star since she was young."

"Hmm?"

Xu Fan raised an eyebrow, surprised that his wild guess was actually right.

No wonder her singing was so sharp, she obviously had put a lot of secret effort into it.

"With her background, getting into the entertainment industry wouldn't be a problem, right?"

Xu Fan said casually, thinking that just having Elder Guan as a powerful figurehead would be enough to protect and support her, right?

"Ah, it's actually just like that. Except, her family doesn't agree with her taking that path, so Shimeng only studies by herself in secret normally."
