Chapter 262: Chapter 262: You Spend, I Pay

"Shuzhu, I can hardly imagine these words coming from your mouth."

Qi Junya looked astonished, staring at Qi Shuzhu, who, with a face full of admiration, was giving Chen Dashan a thumbs-up. She had grown up with Qi Shuzhu and had never seen her praise someone this much.

And it was a man.

Qi Junya had a look of disbelief, her doubtful gaze fixed on Qi Shuzhu, not missing any detail on her face.

"What Divine Doctor?"

Ke Zhengping, on the side, spoke with a sarcastic tone, continuing, "These days, anyone dares to impersonate a Divine Doctor."

"Aren’t there enough frauds in Hengshui City already? We’re not the type to believe in feudal superstitions, yet you think you can deceive us? Hmph!"

Ke Zhengping snorted disdainfully, his eyes full of contempt as he looked Chen Dashan up and down, his implication crystal clear.

Chen Dashan smiled but did not explain.

The previously amazed Qi Junya’s eyes dimmed after hearing this. Every year in Hengshui City, several families got swindled over Feng Shui and medical treatments.

Moreover, with Chen Dashan in his early twenties, he hardly seemed reliable.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Qi Shuzhu, seeing her good friend’s sudden change in attitude, was anxious, glaring at Ke Zhengping.

As Qi Junya’s stance aligned with his, Ke Zhengping raised his chin and continued, "Being seen with this country bumpkin lowers our social status."

Seeing Qi Shuzhu glare at him, Ke Zhengping felt smug. He wanted to trample Chen Dashan underfoot.

"Enough!"

Qi Shuzhu shouted angrily, grabbing Chen Dashan by the arm, "Ke Zhengping, what status are you talking about? Just because your Ke Family has some money, look at how arrogant you’ve become!"

"Shuzhu..."

Ke Zhengping was about to explain when Qi Junya, standing in the middle and getting a headache from the argument, raised her hand helplessly, "Enough!"

"Both of you, quiet down. Who starts arguing right after meeting? Didn’t you say this Chen... Chen..."

Qi Junya couldn’t remember Chen Dashan’s name, prompting Qi Shuzhu to quickly respond, "Chen Dashan."

"Didn’t you say that this Chen Dashan’s Film and Television City has the famous Zhongtian Nightclub? Take us to see it. Since he’s your business partner, there’s nothing wrong with visiting and gaining some insight, is there?"

Qi Junya suggested.

"Well..."

Qi Shuzhu looked troubled, turning to Chen Dashan because she had only asked him to pretend to be her business partner, not to entertain her friends.

Seeing Chen Dashan remain silent, Qi Shuzhu didn’t dare agree by herself.

The atmosphere was awkward.

No one spoke.

"Heh... scared?"

A cold laugh came from Ke Zhengping’s direction. He looked at Chen Dashan with a mocking gaze, as if confirming his suspicion that Chen Dashan was just a loser.

Ke Zhengping said, "Recently, Zhongtian Nightclub became quite popular for inviting a celebrity. I heard the owner behind it is a billionaire. Otherwise, there’s no way they could be so extravagant."

"Shuzhu, I understand you want to help this guy show off. But couldn’t you mention a different enterprise? Did you have to say Zhongtian Nightclub? By coincidence, the owner is a good buddy of mine. Should I give him a call?"

Ke Zhengping looked at Chen Dashan with a proud and provocative expression.

Chen Dashan sneered silently; a good buddy?

He didn’t have such shameless friends.

With a wicked smile, he said, "Sure, I just so happen to have some time. I’ll take you all for a tour."

Ke Zhengping’s expression changed, feeling a bit panicked inside.

He hadn’t expected Chen Dashan to agree so readily. Could Zhongtian Nightclub in Furong County really be Chen Dashan’s business? That was unlikely!

With Chen Dashan looking so unrefined, if he owned such a huge business, wouldn’t he be surrounded by luxury cars and beautiful women?

Ke Zhengping had boasted about Zhongtian Nightclub’s owner being his buddy to impress Qi Shuzhu and make her think highly of him.

But at this moment, Qi Shuzhu looked disgusted and didn’t even glance at him.

These past days, Qi Shuzhu had been helping Chen Dashan with the opening of his Film and Television City and knew that he owned Zhongtian Nightclub. She didn’t expect Ke Zhengping to boast in front of her.

It was utterly revolting!

"Chen Dashan, are you sure? Then we really will visit Zhongtian Nightclub. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!" Ke Zhengping pretended to be deep and raised his voice, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Chen Dashan couldn’t care less about him, following closely behind Qi Junya and Qi Shuzhu as they got into the Maybach.

During the twenty-minute drive, Ke Zhengping kept speaking sarcastically, trying to bait Chen Dashan.

But Chen Dashan ignored him.

Twenty minutes later, the Maybach stopped in front of Zhongtian Nightclub.

Ke Zhengping looked out the window, raising his head to study Zhongtian Nightclub. It was his first time there, and he was also impressed by the grandeur of the building. The exterior was luxurious and trendy.

It looked very high-end. Even in Hengshui City, Zhongtian Nightclub’s architecture and stature were among the top three.

The owner of Zhongtian Nightclub was undoubtedly powerful.

As Chen Dashan prepared to get out of the car, he glanced at Ke Zhengping, who seemed dazed, and smirked, "Mr. Ke, want to give your good buddy a call to inform him?"

Qi Shuzhu felt speechless.

Chen Dashan was clearly trying to embarrass Ke Zhengping, but she didn’t intervene. Ke Zhengping had brought it upon himself.

"Oh, certainly!"

Ke Zhengping’s eyes flashed as he faked scrolling through his phone.

Qi Junya frowned, gave Chen Dashan a disdainful look, and said harshly, "I knew you were unreliable. I even wanted to give you a chance. Are you now afraid we won’t get in?"

"I didn’t expect you to be unreliable, but Shuzhu, you too?"

Qi Junya shook her head, closed the car door, and waited outside for the others.

Feeling embarrassed, Ke Zhengping looked up to see Chen Dashan giving him a mocking look. He quickly put his phone to his ear, frowned, and said, "What’s there to see? I already sent a message, and my buddy said he’s busy and not at the nightclub right now. He said today’s expenses are on him."

Then, Ke Zhengping got out of the car.

Chen Dashan shook his head speechlessly. As Qi Shuzhu unfastened her seatbelt, she looked back at Chen Dashan with a pleading expression and whispered, "Thank you, boss. I promise to wash your socks diligently for a month."

"Call me master!"

"In your dreams!"

Qi Shuzhu quickly changed her expression and slammed the car door shut.

Chen Dashan smirked and got out of the car quickly.

Ke Zhengping and the others stood at the entrance of Zhongtian Nightclub, looking around at the grand facade. Seeing Chen Dashan step out of the car, Ke Zhengping said, "Hahaha... I told you this guy was bluffing. Now that we’re here, he’s hesitating to come out."

"Such a person is not suitable to be your friend."

Ke Zhengping said sincerely to Qi Shuzhu, but seeing her ignore him, he continued, "But don’t worry, Shuzhu. My buddy said today’s expenses are on him."
