章 93: Chapter 95: Best Friend Huang Tingjun
Wu Zhiming's Bentley was quite a luxurious car, but at Jin Zun, it was just average. Wu Zhiming took a quick glance around and saw Ferraris and Lamborghinis, even an Aston Martin. Most of the license plates were from Tianlu City.
Tianlu City and Haixia City were next to each other. Tianlu City was a first-tier city in the country, while Haixia City was a second-tier city. In terms of infrastructure, Tianlu City was undoubtedly better, but when it came to having fun, Haixia City was far superior.
Because Tianlu City was a first-tier city, it had many strict regulations. For example, nightclubs had to close by 2 AM, and paid companionship was banned. Haixia City had no such restrictions, so many people from Tianlu City would drive to Haixia City to have fun. Therefore, some people jokingly referred to Haixia City as Tianlu City's backyard.
Li Sini parked the car.
Wu Zhiming opened the door and got out, heading towards Jin Zun's entrance. There were dozens of marketing staff in suits standing at the entrance. It was already past 10 PM, and the nightlife was just starting. These marketers were mostly on their phones, calling their clients to come for drinks.
As soon as Wu Zhiming reached the entrance, Wu Yuwei came running up to him.
"Master!" Wu Yuwei greeted respectfully.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to let your friend arrange this?" Wu Zhiming asked.
"It's more appropriate for me to handle this myself. Master, the marketing director will be here shortly," Wu Yuwei replied.
"When we're out having fun, don't call me master, and don't tell others either. Just say I'm from the Wu family," Wu Zhiming said.
"I understand, no one will know about tonight," Wu Yuwei assured.
"Good," Wu Zhiming smiled, satisfied.
At that moment, a greasy-looking young man approached from the side.
"Brother, this is Alai, the marketing director here," Wu Yuwei introduced the young man.
"Hello, Mr. Wu!" Alai greeted with a broad smile.
"Marketing director?" Wu Zhiming glanced at Alai. He might not frequent nightclubs, but he knew that marketing directors were the most common and least valuable staff in such places.
"My friend's influence is limited. He only knows the marketing director," Wu Yuwei whispered.
"It's fine," Wu Zhiming shook his head.
"Brother, who are you waiting for?" Wu Yuwei asked curiously. In Haixia City, there were very few people who could make Wu Zhiming wait.
"A friend of mine," Wu Zhiming replied.
A friend? Wu Yuwei was even more curious. He had never heard of Wu Zhiming having any friends in Haixia City, especially given how he had been treated there for the past twenty years.
He was very curious about this friend of Wu Zhiming's.
After about five minutes, a taxi pulled up next to Wu Zhiming. The back door of the taxi opened, and a fat man jumped out from the back seat, rushing towards Wu Zhiming.
Li Sini instinctively moved to block him, but she stopped when she saw that Wu Zhiming was moving to meet him.
Seeing them hug, Li Sini realized they knew each other and stood down.
The fat man was about 1.75 meters tall, not exactly short but not tall either. He weighed around 250 pounds, looking like a ball, with his hair dyed silver, giving him a non-mainstream look.
"Come on, give me a kiss!" the fat man said and kissed Wu Zhiming on the cheek before he could react.
"Have you changed your orientation after going abroad?" Wu Zhiming kicked him away, laughing and cursing.
"You've changed, Xiao Wuzi. You used to call me 'little cutie' when we watched the stars and the moon together. Now you call me a dog! You heartbreaker!" the fat man said with a hurt look, as if he was about to cry.
Wu Yuwei, watching from the side, was stunned. He didn't know of anyone like this in Haixia City, and the man's accent didn't sound local either.
"Huang Tingjun, when did I ever call you 'little cutie'?" Wu Zhiming said angrily.
"Didn't you? Maybe it was in my dreams then!" Huang Tingjun replied.
"Mr. Wu, we should go inside quickly. Otherwise, the rooms will be full. We usually fill up by 11 PM," Alai said from the side.
"Let's go," Wu Zhiming said, beckoning Huang Tingjun to follow.
"Okay!" Huang Tingjun nodded and started to follow Wu Zhiming when the taxi driver shouted, "Do you want your luggage or not?"
"Oh my God, I forgot my luggage!" Huang Tingjun smacked his forehead and quickly retrieved his suitcase from the backseat.
"You… brought your luggage to a nightclub?" Wu Zhiming asked, puzzled.
"What else? The night is short. I told my dad I have a flight at 9:30 AM tomorrow, so I have to leave Haixia City by 7. Time is tight. We can't waste a single second! Let's go!" Huang Tingjun said, clenching his chubby fist.
"You really are something else!" Wu Zhiming couldn't help but say.
Huang Tingjun was Wu Zhiming's university classmate and also his best friend. Wu Zhiming attended university in Xia Hai City. Due to his reserved nature, Wu Zhiming was very low-key in university and didn't socialize much. Even his relationship with his dorm mates was quite ordinary, except for his close bond with Huang Tingjun. This was mainly because Huang Tingjun was naturally sociable.
On the first day of university, Huang Tingjun patted Wu Zhiming on the chest and declared that they were brothers from then on. Over the next four years, Huang Tingjun truly embodied the meaning of brotherhood, with many stories to tell, but that's for another time.
In short, Wu Zhiming didn't have many friends, and even fewer close friends, but Huang Tingjun was definitely one of them. Moreover, Huang Tingjun was unaware of Wu Zhiming's true background and always believed Wu Zhiming to be an unwanted illegitimate child.
"You go wait in the car. It won't be convenient for you to be here," Wu Zhiming said to Li Sina.
Knowing what they were about to do, Li Sina didn't say much and turned to leave.
Wu Zhiming and Huang Tingjun entered Jin Zun together and went to a small private room. Though the room was small, it was luxuriously decorated, living up to the reputation of the best nightclub in Haixia City.
"Brother, if you need anything, just ask Alai. I'll take my leave now," Wu Yuwei said after escorting Wu Zhiming to the room.
"You stay. Three make a crowd; it's boring with just two people drinking," Wu Zhiming said.
"Would that be appropriate?" Wu Yuwei hesitated.
"If I say stay, then stay," Wu Zhiming ordered.
"Yes!" Wu Yuwei was overjoyed to stay. He had been looking for an opportunity to become Wu Zhiming's confidant, and this was a perfect chance.
"Brother, do you want to drink liquor or beer?" Wu Yuwei asked.
"What do you want to drink?" Wu Zhiming asked Huang Tingjun.
"Liquor, of course. Beer is too low-class for a place like this. Plus, girls lose interest when they see you drinking beer. Liquor gets you drunk faster, and when the girls get drunk, that's when the fun starts, you know?" Huang Tingjun said with a grin.
"Is this knowledge from all your years in nightclubs?" Wu Zhiming asked. Huang Tingjun's greatest hobbies were drinking and clubbing, which had become more important than his work.
"Absolutely. I've got loads of experience. Without it, which girl would want to sleep with a 250-pound guy like me?" Huang Tingjun replied.
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for always thinking about sleeping with young girls?" Wu Zhiming said.
"Afraid of what? I never sleep with virgins, no bloodshed, no retribution! We're just satisfying each other's needs," Huang Tingjun boasted shamelessly.
Wu Zhiming chuckled and said no more. Everyone had different interests, as long as they didn't cross each other's boundaries.
While Wu Zhiming and Huang Tingjun chatted, Wu Yuwei ordered a few bottles of the best liquor in the house and had Alai bring in some girls.
Jin Zun lived up to its reputation, and the girls were of high quality. Any one of them could pass as a street photographer's muse.
Wu Yuwei was dazzled. He had only been to places where tips were five hundred yuan. This place, where tips were two thousand yuan, was a new experience for him.
"Change them out!" Huang Tingjun waved dismissively after a quick glance.
"Alright!" Alai nodded and led the girls out.
"I thought a few of them were quite good, about seven or eight out of ten. I thought you'd like them," Wu Zhiming said.
"You don't understand. The first batch is usually average because they are harder to place, so they go first. The really good ones come later because they don't worry about not getting picked!" Huang Tingjun explained.
"Learning something new!" Wu Zhiming nodded.
A few more groups of girls came in, and as Huang Tingjun had said, each group was better than the last.
The final group was of very high quality, mostly around eight and a half to nine out of ten.
At this level, even Song Siqing standing among them would be just average.
It must be said that there are still many beauties these days, especially with advanced cosmetic surgery.
Song Siqing's only advantage compared to these girls was that she was all-natural, while many of them had minor cosmetic work done.
Huang Tingjun chose a fair-skinned, beautiful girl with big red waves, while Wu Zhiming picked a demure-looking one.
As for Wu Yuwei, although Wu Zhiming told him to choose one, he didn't. He knew his place and understood that if he picked one, it would imply he was on the same level as Wu Zhiming and Huang Tingjun.
Though not very smart, Wu Yuwei knew that in this situation, he was just there to accompany.
"I'm going to get a pack of cigarettes," Huang Tingjun said.
"Let the waiter get it," Wu Zhiming replied.
"I want to see what kinds of cigarettes they have!" Huang Tingjun said as he walked out of the room.
He returned with cigarettes in less than two minutes.
"Alright, let's get started!" Huang Tingjun said, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
