At five o'clock in the afternoon, Michelle led Shen Lang out of the campus: "Boss, I recently discovered a really delicious Chinese restaurant. How about I treat you to that?"

"When did you learn to eat Chinese food?" Shen Lang asked curiously.

The last time I ate a rice bowl with Michelle at school, this mixed-race girl was still eating with a spoon.

"Hehe! It's a secret~"

Michelle smiled mischievously, then hopped and skipped along, clinging to Shen Lang's arm.

Fortunately, Shen Lang had undergone a marrow cleansing and training, as well as practicing ancient martial arts and cultivating Qi, and was already about 1.85 meters tall. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to handle this beautiful woman who was over 1.78 meters tall.

After leaving the campus, Shen Lang took Michelle and drove the Bugatti towards the 'Jinxiu Yunju' that Michelle had mentioned.

Jinxiu Yunju is another newly established Yanhuang traditional restaurant in X city, following Baiyun Restaurant.

Compared to the seclusion and low-key nature of Baiyun Mountain Villa, Jinxiu Yunju is somewhat more luxurious.

It occupies a full 30 acres in the eastern suburbs of X city.

Part of it was used to plan a parking lot, and another part was used as side rooms.

Moreover, the food here is no less delicious than that of Baiyun Restaurant.

As soon as the vehicle arrived at the entrance, a doorman dressed in a Tang suit led the way, taking Shen Lang into the exclusive parking lot for luxury cars.

After parking his car, Shen Lang realized that even the parking lots at Jinxiu Yunju were divided into different tiers.

A doorman in a Tang suit stepped forward and respectfully said to the two, "Sir and Madam, welcome to Jinxiu Yunju. Please follow me."

Then the doorman led the way, taking the two of them to the innermost room.

After looking around Jinxiu Yunju, Shen Lang also noticed that the dining places here were of different classes, and not everyone was treated equally.

"Tsk~ Reality is reality after all. So-called equality for all is just a cheap slogan!"

"Boss, what does this mean?" Michelle asked, puzzled, after hearing Shen Lang's remark.

Shen Lang smiled and shook his head, offering no explanation.

Having experienced the ups and downs of her identity, Michelle probably has a clearer understanding of reality than I do.

The doorman didn't lead Shen Lang directly to the dining room, but instead took him to the entrance of a registration desk and asked, "Sir, it's like this, our Jinxiu Yunju operates on a membership system. Would you be interested in becoming a member?"

At this moment, Michelle stepped forward and took out a silver membership card from her limited edition Gucci packaging, showing it to the waiter: "Hello, I am your silver member."

Upon seeing the membership card in Michelle's hand and then looking at Michelle's appearance, the doorman immediately spoke to Michelle in a very fluent London accent, saying something that Shen Lang couldn't understand.

After hearing this, Michelle's face turned somewhat grim as she explained to Shen Lang, "Boss, he said my membership card doesn't qualify me to eat in the private rooms; I can only go to the outdoor area."

"Oh? Is that so?" Shen Lang's lips curled into a smile.

He then asked the doorman, "Does your restaurant have different tiers for members?"

The doorman nodded and politely explained, "Yes, sir, non-members are not allowed to enter our Jinxiu Yunju. Bronze and silver members can only dine in our outdoor service area, while only gold members and above can dine in the private rooms."

The doorman then put on his standard smile and continued to Shen Lang, "Moreover, I can tell that you, sir, have an extraordinary air about you and would certainly disdain dining with ordinary people. So, would you consider becoming a VIP member of our Jinxiu Yunju?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang immediately became interested. He looked at the waiter and asked with a smile, "Could you please explain to me the difference between a so-called premium member and a basic member?"

At this point, the doorman's face immediately showed an arrogant expression. He explained to Shen Lang, "Sir, a low-level membership is merely the threshold for dining at our Jinxiu Yunju restaurant."

Premium members can enjoy advance booking services, access to private dining rooms, and one-on-one butler service.

We also have a VIP membership program. Once you join as a VIP member, you become a member of our Jinxiu Yunju VIP Club and enjoy special services tailored just for you.

"Can you explain what your so-called private customized special services include?" Shen Lang pressed.

"I'm sorry, sir, you are only qualified to know this after joining the Supreme Club."

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Okay, good! Then please take me to apply for your so-called VIP membership. I'd like to know just how special the so-called VIP special services are."

Upon hearing this, the doorman's eyes lit up, and he completely changed from his previous humble attitude to a servile lackey: "Yes, sir, please come with me, I will take you to apply for a VIP membership."

Upon entering the registration area, Shen Lang learned that the so-called VIP membership required an annual fee of ten million yuan and a deposit of one hundred million yuan in the Jinxiu Restaurant in order to qualify for VIP membership.

Furthermore, to join the members' club, one must undergo identity verification and obtain approval from the Jinxiu Yunju verification department.

After thinking about it, Shen Lang decided to register the membership under Michelle's name.

Because his identity is somewhat too sensitive within S Province.

He also wanted to see what made this so-called VIP membership different.

He then dialed Xia Bingyan's number and asked her to transfer money to his bank account.

When Canglang Group was first established, Shen Lang handed over all his liquid assets and the purple business talent he had acquired from Zhou Xianshan to Xia Bingyan.

On the one hand, he is not particularly interested in money now, and on the other hand, his identity is quite sensitive, so it is not appropriate for him to have too many assets under his name.

Just like the Zhao family case, even if the task force suspected him, he was clean, so what could anyone do to him?

So he is now penniless, and whenever money is involved, he goes directly to Xia Bingyan.

After learning that Shen Lang needed money, Xia Bingyan did not hesitate at all and directly dialed the finance department, asking them to transfer 110 million RMB to Shen Lang's bank card.

Three minutes later, Shen Lang received a text message notification that the membership card had been credited to his account. He then said to Michelle beside him, "Michelle, this membership card is for you."

"Boss, really?" Michelle covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Shen Lang in disbelief.

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Consider this my recognition and reward for your recent work."

"Wow! Boss, you're so great!" Michelle excitedly hugged Shen Lang, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a big kiss on the lips: "Michelle likes you so much!"
