Chapter 306 The First Secret

Old Du opened his mouth in surprise, trotted over to catch up with Lu Xiangrong and said, "What's going on? This young man seems to have a very powerful background. Having such a backer will be a good thing for you and Wanqi in the future!"

In fact, Lao Du's thinking is more in line with common sense. Just based on this guild hall, Tang Shuo is already fully worthy of being a young and promising son-in-law. What else can be dissatisfied with such a son-in-law?

"It's because he has such a powerful background that I'm afraid Wanqi will be bullied." Lu Xiangrong replied helplessly.

Lao Du thought about it, then nodded in agreement.

People like them who have been struggling in society for half their lives know a lot of horrifying things, so they understand what Lu Xiangrong said.

"I think Wanqi seems..." Lao Du said hesitantly.

"Sigh..." Lu Xiangrong sighed and shook his head, "This is what's bothering me. I can't control it anymore. Let them mess around with their own affairs. Anyway, I don't think Tang Shuo is a good person. Wait until Wanqi suffers a little, and then maybe she'll understand."

Lao Du patted Lu Xiangrong on the shoulder and stopped talking about this topic.

…

Gu Gaoyun and Qiao Dongliang, who were sitting in the box, were even more depressed than Lu Xiangrong.

Their original plan was to cause trouble, but when they arrived, they heard that Yao Xiangjun was here with his friends, and seemed to be very close to Tang Shuo.

This makes them estimate things more deeply.

One Wang Qiuchen is not enough. When did Yao Xiangjun also know Tang Shuo?

Boom boom boom…

There was a knock on the door of the box, and Gu Gaoyun said dissatisfiedly, "Come in."

The man in the cotton coat and Pang Xing walked in with smiles on their faces. The man in the cotton coat said with a smile, "Gao Yun, Dong Liang, let's have a couple of drinks together."

"Qiao Fan?" Gu Gaoyun was obviously a little surprised, then pursed her lips and said, "Why is the First Secretary here? Sit down."

The man in the cotton-padded jacket is called Qiao Fan, and he is a recognized weirdo in their circle.

Because he was pursuing a career in government, he seldom mingled with people like them, and he only came into contact with Pang Xing because Pang Xing's father was his immediate superior.

As for the title of "No. 1 Secretary", it was just because he was currently working as a secretary, and it was just a joke among people in the circle.

Pang Xing consciously picked a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet in the box, took a few high-heeled glasses, and walked over to pour them for everyone.

The man in the cotton coat, Qiao Fan, shook his wine glass and said to Gu Gaoyun and the others with a smile, "Are you still planning on Tang Shuo?"

Gu Gaoyun frowned, exchanged glances with Qiao Dongliang beside him, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Let go." Qiao Fan said with a smile.

"Hmm?" Gu Gaoyun frowned and asked, "Are you his lobbyist?"

"Of course not, we don't know each other yet. No. I should say we've met once, but we haven't spoken." Qiao Fan said with a smile: "Yao Xiangjun is also here, you know."

Seeing that Gu Gaoyun and the other two were silent, Qiao Fan added, "Xiang Jun seems to be just a follower. This dragon crossing the river is too powerful, and you two local snakes may not be able to suppress it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Fan drank the wine in his glass and walked out of the box.

Pang Xing hurriedly finished the drink that had just been poured for him and followed the other party out.

Gu Gaoyun and Qiao Dongliang remained silent for a long time. They really couldn't accept the information revealed in Qiao Fan's words.

Yao Xiangjun was considered the most successful person in the Mingzhu circle and the military, and his background was not weak at all. How could such a person be just a follower?

"What should we do?" Qiao Dongliang asked hesitantly.

"Let's see what happens tonight." Gu Gaoyun stood up, cursed, and then said, "Let's go out and spend some money first. The drinks are free today, so let's drink some first!"

"Yeah." Dou Jujieba.

…

"Brother Fan, why are you still helping Tang Shuo?" Pang Xing caught up with Qiao Fan and asked.

"I'm planning to get to know this Tang Shuo." Qiao Fan smiled and said, "Please introduce him to me later."

Pang Xing immediately shook his head and said directly: "I don't care if you know him, but it is definitely not possible for me to introduce him."

Qiao Fan didn't explain anything further and just smiled faintly at Pang Xing.

"Brother Fan, I really can't help you." Pang Xing shuddered at the sight of the other party's smile and said hurriedly, "How can I survive in Mingzhu if this gets out?"

"Knowing him will only benefit you. I'm only saying this on the premise that you become friends," Qiao Fan said.

Pang Xing hesitated for a moment, then immediately said, "I'll just take you there, but you'll have to introduce yourself."

"Um."

----

For the entire afternoon, the guild hall remained calm, even more so than Tang Shuo had expected.

He originally thought that there would definitely be some ignorant people who would come to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that not only did nothing happen, but the development of the guild was unusually smooth!

From the opening in the morning till now, in addition to the dozens of membership cards given out, more than 200 membership cards have been issued.

However, this was mainly due to the leadership of Wang Qiuchen and the friends brought by Shen Yuqi, but this was already far beyond Tang Shuo's expectations.

Although everything seemed normal on the surface, Tang Shuo himself became more cautious. He warned Jesus and Wu Lingyun who were hiding in the box, and also notified Shi Da and others who were hiding in the dark to be careful.

The office door opened, and Fang Shirou walked in and said to Tang Shuo and Lu Wanqi, who was leaning on the sofa playing games, "The cocktail party has begun. Let's get ready and go downstairs."

Tang Shuo nodded, straightened his clothes, and then the three of them walked towards the meeting room on the third floor of the club.

It was announced when the club opened that a cocktail party would be held in the evening to celebrate the opening of the club.

When Tang Shuo and the other two went over, there were already quite a few people chatting together, and most of the members were already there.

There is almost no need to distinguish them, as everyone can be distinguished just by their respective positions.

Tang Shuo greeted Wang Qiuchen, Tan Zhuojun and others who had come over, and then signaled to Zheng Xiaowan, who then walked to the stage in the hall and introduced herself to the guests.

Afterwards, she briefly introduced the guild hall’s systems, most of which were similar to those of other guild halls, but the Southern Guild Hall had two new systems.

First, members who renew their membership will be reviewed after one year. If they do not meet the requirements, they will be prohibited from renewing their membership and their membership will be revoked.

Second, the Nanhui Club will only accept 500 members, and will no longer accept applications after the number of members is reached.

Qiao Fan, who was sitting at a table in the hall, nodded in appreciation. Judging from the layout and facilities of the clubhouse, the total cost was at least around 10 billion.

If the club really follows through on its promise to issue only 500 membership cards, it will not be able to make a profit in the short term, and the membership fees can only barely break even.

But this will undoubtedly improve the level of the guild hall, which is naturally beneficial to development in the long run.

After Zheng Xiaowan finished her introduction, she pointed to the bartenders mixing cocktails around the hall and said with a smile, "Tonight we have invited the international cocktail master Masahiro Urushido and his team. Please enjoy them."

Amidst the applause of the crowd, the cocktail party officially began.

Tang Shuo felt a little relieved at this time, but he didn't expect that Gu Gaoyun and Qiao Dongliang had such good forbearance and had never caused trouble.

At this time, Pang Xing was seen walking towards Tang Shuo with a glass of wine.

After arriving next to Tang Shuo, Pang Xing looked back at Qiao Fan who was following behind him and introduced him to Tang Shuo, "My friend wants to meet you."

After saying that, he stepped aside.

Qiao Fan smiled helplessly, stood up and extended his hand, saying: "Hello, my name is Qiao Fan."

"Tang Shuo." Tang Shuo also stretched out his hand.

"I am currently working in the Mingzhu system and will probably be transferred to Yanjing after the new year." Qiao Fan said with a smile.

"Oh?" Tang Shuo smiled and asked, "You must have been promoted. Congratulations in advance."

"I guess so!" Qiao Fan nodded and said, "You should be very busy tonight. We will definitely have the opportunity to meet again in the future. Then I can have a good chat with Brother Tang."

"Sure." Tang Shuo agreed.
