Chapter 55: Chapter 55: The Exclusive Circle

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings immediately erupted into commotion, and everyone looked at Su Yang in shock.

This Su Yang, was he actually one of the shareholders of Qingyun Clubhouse?

Lin Qingru’s mind thundered, and she was completely dumbfounded. The Qingyun Clubhouse that even her father couldn’t enter was Su Yang’s property? How was that possible? She simply couldn’t accept this!

But wasn’t Qingyun Clubhouse Ling Zi’s private property? Even if someone invested behind the scenes, that would have been an investment by the Hou Family, wouldn’t it? When did an outsider come into the picture?

In fact, this matter was already decided last night by Hou Shilin. He knew it wouldn’t be easy to win over Su Yang, so he had Ling Zi make arrangements to gift some of the important industries under his control to Su Yang.

Not only to win over Su Yang but also to tie him to their side. In the future, these industries were to be considered Su Yang’s as well, and if anything happened, Su Yang could not possibly ignore it!

Qingyun Clubhouse was one of these industries.

Ding Runze was stunned for a long moment, his voice trembling, "You... you’re talking nonsense, since when did Qingyun Clubhouse have a new shareholder?"

"Ding Runze, do I need to report the affairs of my Qingyun Clubhouse to you?" Ling Zi said aloud, "Young Master Su is one of the shareholders of our Qingyun Clubhouse, controlling twenty percent of the shares."

"Therefore, Young Master Su is also one of the bosses of Qingyun Clubhouse, and doesn’t need a membership card to enter or exit. The friends he invites will automatically become members of Qingyun Clubhouse!"

At these words, the entire place was once again stunned. Didn’t this mean Zhao Qiupeng and Xie Wei had become members of Qingyun Clubhouse from that point on?

Membership in Qingyun Clubhouse was very difficult to obtain, even for young masters like Liao Yuxuan.

Lin Qingru’s father, Lin Ze Ping, also a well-known wealthy businessman in Nanluo City, lacked the qualifications to enter Qingyun Clubhouse.

Among all the rich heirs present, less than twenty percent were members of Qingyun Clubhouse; most had entered with invitation cards.

And now, Zhao Qiupeng and Xie Wei, two ordinary students, had actually become members of Qingyun Clubhouse?

"Ding Runze, the people you brought caused trouble in Qingyun Clubhouse and attempted to assault a shareholder and members of Qingyun Clubhouse, violating the rules of our club," Ling Zi paused, then spoke loudly, "As their inviter, you must also share the responsibility."

Ding Runze exploded in rage, "Ling Zi, in other words, you’re bullying a member of the Ding Family, is that it?"

"There’s no bullying or not bullying, I am just following the rules!" Ling Zi waved his hand and said coldly, "Remove all the people brought by Ding Runze, break their arms and legs, and throw them outside the clubhouse. As for Ding Runze, cancel his membership card, and from now on, Qingyun Clubhouse will no longer receive them!"

"Ling Zi, if you dare to do this to me, my Ding Family will not let this rest..." Ding Runze shouted angrily, but he was still picked up and thrown out by Ling Zi’s men.

"Throw out Zhou Yue and his people as well!" Ling Zi shouted loudly.

Zhou Yue and his group were also thrown out, and all the people on the scene were as stunned as wooden chickens. With this, Ling Zi had offended both the Zhou and Ding families, two colossal entities.

And all of this for a Su Yang - was it worth it?

Ling Zi walked over to Su Yang, his face adopting a flattering smile, "Young Master Su, are you satisfied with this outcome?"

The crowd was once again shocked by the extent of the situation. After having offended two major families and disregarding his own losses, Ling Zi was still considering whether Su Yang was satisfied? Was Su Yang really that important?

"Hmm!" Su Yang slowly nodded, his voice cold, "You dealt with it well, but there is still one thing."

"Whatever you command, Young Master Su!" Ling Zi quickly said.

Su Yang swept his gaze over the people present, his voice cold, "I don’t want to be in the same hall with these people!"

Ling Zi was momentarily stunned before immediately saying, "Go, get the people on the top floor ready, Young Master Su and his friends are going up to rest!"

"Ah?" The subordinate beside him was taken aback, the top floor was where very important people were received. Even the Family Heads of the four great families, when they came here, spent most of their time only on the sixth floor and rarely went to the top floor.

"What ’ah’? Can’t you understand what I’m saying!" Ling Zi said angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes..." The subordinate hurriedly ran off to make arrangements.

Everyone around was stunned once again, as anyone who could come here was certainly aware of the rules within the Qingyun Clubhouse. Inside the Qingyun Clubhouse, each floor represented a different status and identity. The higher one went, the higher the status signified, and the top floor represented the highest status of all.

Today, everyone came here to attend the banquet of the richest man’s daughter in Nanluo City. And the daughter of the richest man in Nanluo City could only hold her banquet on the third floor, showing how difficult it was to reach the top floor.

Even the young people present, despite holding membership cards, their parents could at most go to the fourth or fifth floor, and it was difficult even for them to reach the sixth floor.

And now, Su Yang was taking Zhao Qiupeng and Xie Wei to the top floor? What kind of status did one need to enjoy such treatment?

Now everyone finally understood the sentence Su Yang had said earlier, it wasn’t that Su Yang couldn’t squeeze into their circle, but that they weren’t qualified to enter Su Yang’s circle!

Ling Zi said with a flattering smile, "Young Master Su, the room on the top floor is ready, let’s go up."

"Okay!" Su Yang nodded, leading Zhao Qiupeng and Xie Wei away, without giving the others a glance from beginning to end.

It was only after Su Yang had walked away that the hall started to buzz again, with everyone asking about Su Yang’s background, inquiring about his identity. The events of tonight were truly shocking for these second-generation descendants!

Lin Qingru was sitting in her chair, disoriented and unable to snap out of her shock.

She had grown up with Su Yang and knew his family’s situation well. In her eyes, Su Yang was the epitome of poverty, so she had never taken him seriously from the start.

But now, she suddenly realized that she actually didn’t understand Su Yang at all.

What had happened to Su Yang in the three years he had been away in the military?

Not only had he become strong, but what was most key, even someone as influential as Ling Zi was kowtowing to him, how powerful must he be to achieve that?

Lin Qingru didn’t know what Su Yang’s situation was now, but she was very clear about Su Yang’s current power. If she were to get engaged to Su Yang, it would certainly not be him climbing up the social ladder, but her reaching for a higher branch!

Liao Yuxuan’s hands and feet were cold. It was only after Ling Zi appeared that he finally realized how little he knew about Su Yang.

It wasn’t that Su Yang hadn’t dared to stand up to him before, but that he disdained to pay him any attention. If Su Yang wished, with just one word, Ling Zi would definitely chop him down without hesitation!

What infuriated Liao Yuxuan the most was Lin Qingru’s expression; he knew that Lin Qingru’s thoughts were beginning to change.

This vain woman would not be moved by how well Liao Yuxuan treated her; she was always fixated on his background.

Now, with Su Yang’s background clearly above Liao Yuxuan’s, to which side would Lin Qingru’s heart lean?

Grinding his teeth, Liao Yuxuan clenched his fists and roared inwardly, "Lin Qingru, you can’t shake me off. Su Yang, no matter how strong you are, I have decided on your woman!"

Liao Yuxuan was unaware that in his eyes, Lin Qingru was Su Yang’s woman, but in Su Yang’s eyes, Lin Qingru was nothing!

Unfortunately, Lin Qingru herself didn’t know this.
