CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 29: HEAVEN AND EARTH

"Why do you run off so quickly after work every day? Where are you going?"

As work time ended, Li Guoqiang helplessly patted Wu Liang’s shoulder and said.

Although this kid’s work efficiency has been ridiculously high since he joined, he is still nowhere to be found all day long, no one knows what he’s busy with.

The editorial department has been pondering over throwing a welcome party for him, but it’s been on hold for a long time now.

"Well, I have something to do at Heaven and Earth tonight. Let’s go out for drinks another day." Wu Liang smiled awkwardly and turned to leave the office.

He left just like that.

The office buzzed with chatter.

"Huh? What did this kid just say? Going to Heaven and Earth?" Li Guoqiang’s voice inadvertently grew louder.

"Really? That place costs at least five digits per person, right? Hasn’t he just graduated?"

"Could it be possible that our previous suspicions of him being a rich second-generation or an official second-generation... are true?"

"..."

Everyone here is in the news industry, and no one doesn’t know the weight of the four words "Heaven and Earth". The renown of this place is no less than some of the city’s iconic buildings.

Extravagance, revelry, a feast of wine and lust.

All sorts of words describing luxurious debauchery are not at all excessive for "Heaven and Earth", this nightclub, the ultimate pleasure within is beyond imagination.

However, this university graduate who smiles brightly and sometimes even gives a shy impression, casually mentions going to a place that has nothing to do with him!

After being escorted by the Official Awakened last time, they can no longer understand Wu Liang.

This kid’s identity is getting more mysterious.

......

"Hello, please show your ID."

Not only were the TV station colleagues suspicious of Wu Liang, but even the security outside Heaven and Earth doubted his spending capability.

They even doubted his age!

After all, Wu Liang’s face is so clean-cut and looks somewhat boyish, if he claimed to be a high school student, some might believe it.

"Bro, I’m 21!"

Wu Liang handed over his ID with a bit of helplessness. After the security checked it, they let him in, but their eyes were still full of disdain.

After all, the security personnel had never seen any VIP coming to spend at Heaven and Earth arrive by bus!

Looking at the entrance and the parking lot, filled with luxury cars, any thrown shoe could hit something worth over a million. This poor kid probably couldn’t even afford a wheel, right?

As expected, he should be thrown out soon by the people inside.

The security person glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and sure enough, the kid was stopped by someone asking about reservations.

This kind of conspicuous clown, he didn’t know how many he’d seen every day!

"Box? I booked something called — Wine Forest? A box by that name, I think."

Once the hesitant voice came out, the security personnel’s eyes suddenly widened like Copper Bells, he turned quickly and took a closer look, the speaker was actually that poor kid!?

The waiter receiving Wu Liang was also shocked, he took Wu Liang’s ID for verification.

Hurriedly said with respect, "Welcome Mr. Wu! Please follow me." Then turned to another female waiter and said, "Xiaoli, go call Ms. Ling."

Along the way, the waiter was incredibly attentive to Wu Liang, as if he were their own son.

After all, the Wine Forest is the most advanced box you can book at Heaven and Earth by appointment.

Any higher level boxes can’t be booked even if you have the money.

After reaching the box, Wu Liang just sat down.

Before he could marvel at the luxurious decor and dazzling entertainment equipment of the place, he saw a short-haired woman in a suit walking in, looking dashing and spirited.

She was followed by a group of women not in the least inferior to current stars in appearance.

"Hello Mr. Wu!"

They greeted Wu Liang in unison, and the woman in the suit said, "Hello Mr. Wu, I am Deputy Manager Xu Qingling at Heaven and Earth. Is this your first time here?"

"Oh? How can you tell?"

"You’re joking. For young guests who can book the Wine Forest, we are quite familiar, you’re relatively new here, and guests who come alone are really rare."

With that, she gave a suggestive look.

All the women behind took a step forward in unison, under the dazzling lights and luxurious decor of the box, it looked like a talent show stage.

"You can choose one to accompany you closely to familiarize yourself with Heaven and Earth entertainment spots, feel free to make any requests to them."

Deputy Manager Xu was no fool, and she didn’t think Wu Liang’s clothes represented his wealth or status.

This box alone cost over ten thousand for a night just for the reservation, not including the drinks and entertainment expenses.

Wu Liang at this age couldn’t possibly have such vast entertainment funds on his own, mostly likely he’s a rich kid or a child of some big figure.

Serving these young masters well would almost certainly make them regular customers at Heaven and Earth.

"Any of them?" Wu Liang suppressed the urge to say "change a batch" and instead studied the women before him without reservation.

Hmm, none of them seemed suspicious.

"Of course, who do you fancy?" Xu Qingling replied with a smile.

But Wu Liang’s next words left her a bit unprepared: "How about you? Can you show me around here?"

"Hm? Me? Sorry Mr. Wu, I still have many management responsibilities, and if other boxes have special situations, as a deputy manager I need to..."

But before she could finish, Wu Liang interrupted.

This young man said puzzledly, "Then if I book the other boxes too, you won’t be busy anymore, right? How about that?"

With these words, everyone present was stunned.

What he said... seems to make sense?

What exactly is this person’s identity?

Looking at the looks of shock in their eyes, Wu Liang didn’t know what they were thinking.

He only knew he could get reimbursed!

"There’s no need to trouble you with the expense, Xiaozhang, go notify Foreman Wang, ask her to cover for me tonight, I’ll accompany this handsome fellow for a tour."

Deputy Manager Xu was not only not a fool but also very smart. She could hear that Wu Liang’s tone was quite calm without any hesitation, and the kind of confidence coming from his bones made her feel like this little guy really could book it all.

This intuition had allowed Xu Qingling to connect with higher-level figures more than once before, and had helped her advance to Deputy Manager in just a few years at Heaven and Earth.

She absolutely trusted her own judgment!

What’s this?

This is a big fish! A golden dragon fish!

Her words not only maintained Wu Liang’s face by giving him a way out, but also agreed to his previous request, which facilitated further contact with him.

To see what his true status is!

"Then let everyone else step out, and you can introduce me to the entertainment here, let’s take a tour."

Honestly, Wu Liang was slightly disappointed.

If possible, he really wanted to book this place and then carefully search for any suspicious points.

But for now, this method didn’t seem feasible, so he could only settle for second best, by gathering information from familiar insiders.

Those close attendants might also know the place well, but after all, they are just hospitality staff, unable to comprehensively understand this place.

But Xu Qingling is different, being able to reach the position of Deputy Manager at Heaven and Earth, she would know everything about this place, not to mention noting any unusual situations.

From her, he would certainly obtain much useful information.

"Let’s go, Manager Xu, let’s check out the dance floor first..."

......

"How much can a university student who hasn’t seen the world spend? At most, he’ll dance, have fun, and maybe find a girl. Why worry!"

At a nearby barbecue stall, the Official Awakened Cannon, Priest, and He Zhan sat eating and chatting, coincidentally discussing Wu Liang’s task for the night.

The Priest shared his opinion on He Zhan’s concern about how much Wu Liang might spend.

"Exactly, we’ve seen this kid’s life records, he hasn’t even been to KTV many times during his four years at university, what can he really understand about big spending!" Cannon chimed in agreement.

But He Zhan, sitting across, was somewhat uneasy, shaking his legs quietly without saying anything.

He constantly felt his left eyelid twitching.

A sense of foreboding...
