Looking at the dashing and unrestrained Zhang Long, Hu Xinxin, sitting in the passenger seat, had a smile in her eyes.

Today, she dressed Zhang Long in a black and white casual outfit that matched his hair color perfectly. She herself was also wearing the same women's suit.

"Hmm, matching outfits again!"

With a roar from the bull, we arrived at our destination.

Principal Wang, showing great courtesy, came out to greet us with a group of people, including several others.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Long gave Principal Wang a big hug.

Then I looked at the people next to Principal Wang, and they were all acquaintances.

The first is Gengxin Lin, the second is Chen He, and the third is the domineering CEO Huang Xiaoming!

Looks like today's event is all about the entertainment industry.

These people all behaved quite discreetly in this setting, wearing masks and sunglasses.

However, given their fame, if they didn't wear these things, they would probably be carried away by their fans.

Principal Wang introduced Zhang Long to everyone, as well as Hu Xinxin who was standing next to him.

Just by saying "the eldest daughter of the Hu family in Beijing," Huang Xiaoming and Chen Hechi took it very seriously.

After all, these two are destined to become big names in the entertainment industry, so they're both quite shrewd.

As for Lin Gengxin, he's just a minor character, basically a small accessory to Principal Wang, and a friend who gets along well with Principal Wang.

It seems everyone says he's Principal Wang's cousin, but he doesn't bother to check if it's true or not.

You know what, Principal Wang really likes this kind of thing. He probably thinks that hanging out with people in the entertainment industry will generate more traffic.

Just like his startup Panda TV, it was already widely known even before it was officially launched!

He really knows how to use traffic!

The group stopped chatting outside and went straight through the green channel, without having to queue outside to get in.

That's right, right now Principal Wang's fame is off the charts. Just with that face, he can get around any nightclub without any problems.

When Zhang Long and his group entered the venue, they happened to run into Qin Fen, who is currently very popular online.

However, Principal Wang seemed not to recognize him at all, and walked in without even saying hello.

Zhang Long, with a mocking expression, nudged him with his shoulder: "Young Master Wang, isn't that your good friend?"

"Why didn't you even greet me when we met?"

He emphasized the words "good friend" so much that he practically pressed his face against it.

Faced with Zhang Long's teasing, Principal Wang was at a loss for words. He had explained it many times online, but no one believed him.

If Zhang Long weren't someone he couldn't afford to offend, he would have already lost his temper.

Seeing that Young Master Wang was a little unhappy, Zhang Long understood. After all, he would feel the same way if he were the one being scammed.

However, he changed the subject: "When I make friends, I don't care whether they have money or not, because none of them have as much money as me."

Here I'd like to ask Young Master Wang, "And what about me!"

Principal Wang was utterly helpless. "This joke isn't going to go away, is it?"

"Fine, fine, I'm not as rich as you, okay?"

Seeing Zhang Long teasing Principal Wang like this, the big stars in the entertainment industry behind him were all speechless with astonishment.

Fortunately, they were all wearing masks and sunglasses, so others couldn't see their expressions clearly.

This Zhang Long, whose name is not widely known, must be from a prominent family. Otherwise, how could he dare to joke with Principal Wang like that and still keep him from getting angry?

Once they arrived at the booth, Principal Wang introduced Zhang Long to a few people, followed by a round of toasts.

He was incredibly generous, accepting everything offered and emptying every glass.

Judging from the way he was drinking, the scene suddenly became lively.

When you're out having fun, the worst thing is running into people who are reserved and aloof.

After a few rounds of drinks, Principal Wang revealed the purpose of calling Zhang Long out.

It turns out that Chen Chichi's uncle is about to have his birthday, and he wants to give him an antique as a birthday gift to his powerful backer in the entertainment industry.

Even if they are uncle and nephew, they still need to maintain a good relationship. Chen Chichi has extremely high emotional intelligence; he acts immediately on his ideas.

Unfortunately, his own judgment was really poor; he spent nearly a million yuan in total, and both antiques turned out to be fake.

There was no way to reason with him, but luckily he was quick-witted enough to have the gift appraised at a specialized appraisal center before giving it to him.

Even the experienced craftsmen there almost mistook it for a fake; it was only after carbon-14 dating that it was confirmed to be a counterfeit.

After a lot of trouble, I just complained about this to Principal Wang.

Principal Wang immediately thought of his good friend Zhang Long. Although Zhang Long was not short of money, it would be good if he could help out.

To say that Principal Wang doesn't have any antiques at home would be a huge joke.

However, he didn't like it, and it would be too undignified for him to have to go to his father's house to help his friend.

Upon hearing about this matter, Zhang Long readily agreed to the request.

He pulled Chen Chichi aside and whispered a few words to him, telling him to come to his company tomorrow. He said he still had a lot of silver dollars on hand, so many that he could crash the existing silver dollar market.

There are even hundreds of rare, privately minted gold coins, which are extremely popular among collectors.

Since such a large coin has never appeared on the market before, its market price is very uncertain and depends entirely on the collector's preferences.

Huang, who had overheard some things, seized the opportunity to step forward and toast Zhang Long.

I took the opportunity to ask if I could also go and admire Mr. Zhang's collection tomorrow.

Zhang Long nodded happily in agreement. After all, although Huang Xiaoming was a bit slick in his acting, he was indeed very good at handling things.

She greets everyone with a smile, so it's hard for most people to dislike her.

Zhang Long took out a pack of white cigarettes from his pocket and handed them out to everyone present. Seeing the cigarettes in their hands, everyone's smiles became even brighter.

(While I don't know if such special supplies exist in reality, let's assume they do in the novel!)

Putting aside the fan filter, celebrities are just like ordinary people, like these few people here, who like to brag after drinking.

Zhang Long took the opportunity to whisper to his girlfriend, after all, he couldn't neglect her while they were out having fun.

In particular, Hu Xinxin gave him a lot of face when there were outsiders present, and always put Zhang Long first.

This also touched him deeply!

Principal Wang's face was already flushed red. When the others were besieging Zhang Long, they found they couldn't out-drink him, so they turned their attention to Principal Wang, picking on the weak!

Principal Wang was the easy target; sure enough, he was already red-faced and visibly upset after only a couple of rounds.

He yelled that he would make them pay, and then got up and went to the bathroom.

"Mr. Zhang, I have some spare cash recently and I'd like to invest in something, but I'm not sure how to time the market. Could you give me some advice?"

Master Huang leaned over and sat to Zhang Long's left, saying...
