Chapter 114 Zhang Yiqing's Story (1)
In the entertainment circle, how many people were suppressed and how many of them were blacklisted in private? The public might not know, but Ran Xueyi was very clear about this.
As someone who grew up in the entertainment circle, Ran Xueyi knew that Zhang Yiqing must have been repressed by someone. It was unknown if he purposely offended them or they merely didn't want him to succeed in the industry.
Nevertheless, it still was an ugly sight of corruption and manipulation that Ran Xueyi loathed the most.
Hence, she didn't waste time and left the other candidates on the list aside and directly went to look for Zhang Yiqing's whereabouts. And thankfully, Wu Qi's skill in locating a person's location was quite good. He contacted several people who could find out where the young idol was and finally, they found him in Heaven's club, an opulent place where the wealthy and powerful loved to hang out in the middle of the night.
But Wu Qi mentioned that it would be too hard to get in there. One must have at least a member's recommendation to get in the club and in order for one to get to the upper floors, the two common and rare cards were needed.
Thankfully, Song Yu Han, who was a shareholder of the club, possessed a gold card that was considered as a unique or legendary card. Obtaining it from him was also quite easy. She only needed to give him a kiss and he surrendered the card to her.
Zhang Yiqing stared at the car between her fingers and was awestruck by it. Similarly to him, the others were flabbergasted at the sight of it. And even Wen Tao, who was about to take out his bronze membership card to flaunt it to everyone and Ran Xueyi, froze and could no longer do it!
Between bronze and gold... a child could even tell which was better from the two!
Ran Xueyi smiled knowingly. Although she didn't know what kind of card Wen Tao has, was it any better than her hubby's gold car?
After getting the effect she wanted from everyone, Ran Xueyi pulled Zhang Yiqing to the bouncers, who quickly led them to the second floor. But instead of using the stairs they were guarding leading up to the second floor, the two of them were guided to the elevator, showing just how important the golden card was.
The bouncer who rejected Zhang Yiqing from earlier felt choked up. If he had known that the young man knew someone who held the gold card, he wouldn't be so ruthless to him and tried to talk to him in a warm tone. But what is done is done. There was no need to cry over spilt milk. He could only hope that the beautiful lady next to the young man wouldn't ask the management to fire him.
As soon as they entered the elevator under everyone's eyes, Ran Xueyi even had the guts to wave her hand to Wen Tao, whose eyes were glaring at them. If someone were to add an animation to his eyes, laser beams would come out of them.
Finally, the doors of the elevator closed, blocking out the outside world, and it quickly rose up.
Inside the elevator, Zhang Yiqing finally felt nervous. He had just realized that he followed a complete stranger to the second floor and was even influenced by the woman's confidence that he shot Wen Tao with a smug smile.
Looking at the delicate and straight back of the woman, Zhang Yiqing's hands started to sweat. This lady... she couldn't have mistaken him for someone else right? She didn't take him to the second floor to do the unspeakable and turn him into a sugar baby right?
"Uhm..." Zhang Yiqing's voice croaked. After a second, his voice flowed instantly, "I can't thank you enough for your help... But I don't want to be a sugar baby."
Ran Xueyi turned her head and looked him up and down before she said, "You certainly don't look like a baby to me. What made you think of that?"
Zhang Yiqing: "..."
Ran Xueyi then added: "I didn't help you because I want to be your sugar mommy. I'm too young to take care of someone as old and big as you. If anything, I'd rather have someone spoil me instead than me spoil someone else."
Zhang Yiqing felt relieved after hearing her words. "Then... Why did you help me? We're strangers yet you helped me."
Feeling his doubtful eyes on her body, Ran Xueyi shrugged and didn't hide anything either. "Well... I certainly didn't help you because I was being a saint. Naturally, I have something I want from you."
Zhang Yiqing's hands twitched. She said she didn't want him to be her sugar baby... but she wanted something from him... Older sister, are you sure we're speaking the same language?
As if reading through his thoughts, Ran Xueyi released an exasperated sigh. However, she didn't say anything to him as the door of the elevator finally opened.
"Let's go find your group members." Ran Xueyi told him as she stepped out of the elevator.
Zhang Yiqing also tossed the topic out of his mind. He needed to get to his members first before worrying about anything else.
The walls of the long corridor on the second floor was painted gold and silver. It was very gaudy and dazzling. It was quite tasteless to Ran Xueyi. But she didn't voice out her dislike of the paint.
In front of the elevator was a counter where a staff member of the club was standing behind it. He saw them get off the elevator and almost had a fright. The only people who could use that elevator was either one of the two gold card owners after all!
"Good evening!" The man behind the counter greeted them excitedly.
Ran Xueyi gave him a polite smile and said to Zhang Yiqing, "Tell him the description and names of your group members. He should know what room they're in."
