"Uh... birthday party?" Hao Jian thought maybe Lin Qingxue was feeling better and was planning to invite him out shopping, but instead, he received this kind of news, which made him a little surprised. However, after coming back to his senses, he nodded helplessly and said, "Then in three days, I'll come over to pick you up. This kind of thing is unavoidable." "Hehe, I knew you were the best!" With Hao Jian's agreement, Lin Qingxue was overjoyed. If it weren't through the phone, she would have hugged Hao Jian and given him a big kiss. "Haha, alright, these three days you just rest well at home and recuperate." Hao Jian teased, "If in three days your health isn't up to par, I won't let you attend the birthday party." Lin Qingxue snorted lightly and coldly hung up the phone, which caught Hao Jian a bit off guard. Staring blankly at the disconnected call, Hao Jian finally let out a wry smile and shook his head. "This girl, once this period passes, I'll let her see how formidable I am, hehe, let's see if she dares to treat me again..." Along with Hao Jian's cunning laughter, the room darkened, and soon, snores filled the room. These days not only did he have to accompany his female friends but also take care of things at University Town. It must be said, with Spice Ginger's involvement, the cleanup activities at University Town were like a rocket surge, absolutely smooth, but to put his mind at ease, Hao Jian still went to check it out in person. As for Hao Jian's tagging along, Spice Ginger didn't mind much, but it did make the two sweat profusely. Even with many underlings, they still ran through every corner of University Town within a few days to ensure those gangsters were chased away. "Let's go, let me see this so-called Zhang Gui." On the morning of the same day, Hao Jian arrived early at Lin Qingxue's doorstep. Looking at her graceful figure, Hao Jian sighed at her increasing beauty and waved at her with a smile. "Hey, didn't we always take that Range Rover when going out? How come we're using this car now?" Lin Qingxue walked to the car, looked at Hao Jian's Enzo Car, and her pretty face was filled with confusion. Upon hearing this, Hao Jian shrugged and said, "The Range Rover isn't suitable for the upcoming occasions. Using this car highlights your nobility." "Who needs nobility?" With a playful pout, Lin Qingxue chuckled and got into the car. Although she didn't care about attracting attention or not, since it was Hao Jian who said it, she accepted it. In fact, Hao Jian wanted to drive that Range Rover too, but someone left a bunch of spikes on the road, long spikes at that. He didn't notice and drove right over them, resulting in a disaster with both front tires blown out. After the blowout, Hao Jian had Spice Ginger arrange for it to be towed for repairs, which weren't done yet. So, he had to use his old Enzo Car. Every time Hao Jian went to pick up Lin Qingxue, he used to drive the Enzo Car, which always attracted onlookers. He wasn't a monkey interested in being gawked at. So after a few times, Hao Jian switched to some regular cars to pick up Lin Qingxue, which is the reason why Lin Qingxue said that. "Haha, no need, just tell me, where's the address?" Zhang Gui was someone Lin Qingxue knew, but Hao Jian didn't. He came today merely to be Lin Qingxue's shield and help her deal with those troublemakers. Even if Lin Qingxue didn't ask him to do anything, Hao Jian knew clearly what he should do today. A faint smile formed at the corners of his mouth as he watched the scenery passing by. Hope you, whom I haven't yet met, will have some sense. Otherwise, I can't guarantee you won't lose too much face. "The birthday party is at a bar on the seventh floor of the Hilton Hotel." Lin Qingxue glanced at her phone and told Hao Jian the address. Upon hearing this, Hao Jian nodded, pressed the gas pedal, and the unique engine sound of the Enzo Car once again echoed on the streets of Hua City. There are several Hilton Hotels in Hua City, but only one with a bar, and that particular one is considered the most luxurious hotel in the city. No one who hosts a party there is worth less than a hundred million. And that bar is even more special; you need a net worth of five hundred million to hold a birthday party there. Otherwise, you're better off going back to where you came from. But it's undeniable that this bar is quite famous throughout Huaxia. Holding a party there has high entry barriers, but just going in for a drink doesn't. Or rather, it doesn't set a barrier, but of course, the drinks inside are pricey, with a single small glass of the "Fiery World" cocktail requiring seven to eight hundred yuan. You'd feel embarrassed to say you've been to the Hilton's seventh-floor bar if your expenses for a night don't exceed five thousand yuan, so that could be considered a small barrier. At least the people who can enter are generally white-collar types, most belong to the gold-collar class, of course, many bosses also need to drink inside. No reason, just because this is a high-class place, saying you've been here is prestigious. When Hao Jian stepped into this bar, his eyes suddenly flickered slightly, especially when he saw the array of bottles in the liquor cabinet, his heart moved slightly. The liquor here, many he has seen but not tasted; he used to want to set up his own liquor cabinet, but as things increased, he forgot about it. "Hey, isn't that Qingxue?" When Hao Jian and his companion stepped onto the doorstep of this bar, someone immediately spotted them at the entrance. One heavily made-up woman's eyes suddenly lit up, swaying her hips as she walked over. Upon seeing this woman, Lin Qingxue was momentarily stunned, then smiled while shaking hands with her, saying, "Didn't expect you were invited by Brother Gui too." "Naturally, not just me, many people whose family assets exceed fifty million were invited by Brother Gui. I reckon there should be hundreds here." Jiang Yuzi's tone carried a hint of pride. Her family is in the building materials business and has amassed seven to eight hundred million in assets over the years, comparable to the power of Zhang Gui's family, and much higher than Lin Qingxue's family. However, recently Lin Qingxue's father's company grew rapidly overnight, assets continuously increased. Just last month's turnover surpassed that of the first half of the year. Moreover, this trend is continuously rising, and ultimately might grow into a billion-dollar enterprise, so Jiang Yuzi dares not act recklessly. The beauty in front of her can be said to be the future controller of a billion-dollar company. However, when she looked at Hao Jian beside Lin Qingxue, a trace of disdain inevitably appeared in her eyes. What brand is this clothing? Can't be a random brand, right? My God, these shoes are actually Adidas? How come they're so worn out? This cheap kind of shoe, this person would buy? Oh dear, why is this watch an electronic watch, looks like a garbage watch costing a few hundred bucks! This man might have a problem? Jiang Yuzi gazed at Hao Jian with some skepticism. Does this man not know the situation here today? Everyone here has assets not less than fifty million! Such caliber people rarely buy such branded clothes; they opt for more upscale things. Maybe they wear these on ordinary days, but at such an important occasion, you dare wear these? Isn't that asking to be isolated? Jiang Yuzi became curious about Hao Jian's identity, after all, he was walking in with Lin Qingxue. Call him a bodyguard, but this man isn't very muscular and doesn't look like one. Perhaps seeing the disdain in Jiang Yuzi's eyes, Lin Qingxue didn't offer a good tone. After a bland introduction, she pulled Hao Jian away from there. Although she had anticipated Hao Jian being looked down upon by many today, she didn't expect that just upon entering, they'd be despised by such a woman. After they had moved away from that woman, Hao Jian began to laugh heartily, finding Lin Qingxue's somewhat sulking demeanor increasingly amusing. "Laugh laugh laugh, you still laugh, you've been looked down upon by others..." Lin Qingxue pouted, looking at Hao Jian, her pretty face filled with displeasure. Seeing this, Hao Jian didn't mind. Instead, he reached out to lightly tap Lin Qingxue's forehead, chuckling softly and shook his head, saying, "Today, don't take things too seriously. You'll encounter more infuriating situations later; you just need to keep smiling, and leave the rest to me to handle, promise me, okay?" Having attended these parties multiple times and experienced them multiple times, Hao Jian naturally knew what would happen next, merely some people's boastful activities, and without guessing, Hao Jian will definitely be the one belittled. "Nothing but, just need to promise me." Ultimately, under Hao Jian's intense gaze, Lin Qingxue relented. But after relenting, she quickly recovered, smiling while hooking onto Hao Jian's arm and sticking out her tongue, saying, "I'm your girlfriend." The moment Lin Qingxue linked her arm through his, Hao Jian suddenly felt a surge of coldness behind him, forcing a helpless smile; glancing slightly over his shoulder, he noticed Jiang Yuzi standing beside a handsome man, her finger pointing at him, saying something to the man. But Hao Jian could easily imagine what this woman was saying, merely talking about his relationship with Lin Qingxue, and from the chills, it's clear that this man's emitted coldness is the strongest.
