At the same time.

Li Lulu was standing on the subway, talking and laughing with a few girls she'd met off campus.

She'd gotten to know them in a bar back when she was still with Zheng Guotao. They had a group chat, too, called Shanghai Rich Ladies' Club.

The people in that group had nothing better to do all day but post pictures of their lives, and the backgrounds were usually afternoon tea, desserts, a pool at some mansion, a designer bag.

"Listen up, all of you. Somebody's bought out Earl No. 1 tonight and it's nothing but second-generation rich kids in there. Anyone looking to land a rich guy had better make a good impression tonight."

"Ying-jie, how do you even know them?"

"Somebody invited me too. Anyway, once we get there, if a guy comes over and starts talking to you, you'd better not ignore him. Otherwise I won't be taking you along next time."

"Haha. Obviously."

"Lulu, why do you keep hanging on to your skirt like that?"

"This skirt's too short. I'm scared of flashing everyone."

"Then why did you wear it out?"

"Weren't you the ones who said there was a very high-end event tonight?"

"So once we get there, are you still going to be holding on to it like that?"

"Obviously not. What do you take me for?"

"Haha~"

…… Inside the club.

"Cheng Xiang, how come there aren't any girls here yet?"

"What the hell are you in such a rush for? I said nine o'clock, and it's only just past eight."

"It'll be very entertaining if nobody shows up."

"Not a chance. The numbers only ever go up, never down." Cheng Xiang sounded thoroughly confident. "Last time I invited two and seven or eight showed up. I asked them who the others were and they said they were all close friends."

"You're buying their nonsense."

Zheng Bin spoke with the weight of long experience. "I'm telling you, women like that are regulars at these places. You've probably been through fewer women than they have men."

"Hahahaha."

That got another round…
