Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Between Heaven and Earth
Sun Yutong looked at Li Feng. The Heavenly Palace was no stranger to the entertainment industry; it was an upscale social venue, but entry to the Heavenly Palace was by recommendation only. It was not like the typical membership clubs.
"Have you been there?"
Li Feng turned his head to look at Sun Yutong.
Sun Yutong shook her head, "No, I’m just a third-tier little star. I don’t have much fame. Even if I wanted to go, I wouldn’t have the chance. It’s the popular starlets like Tong Qian who get invited."
"Invited?"
Li Feng looked at Sun Yutong, who pouted, "It’s different. You don’t know the Heavenly Palace. This clubhouse is very famous in Sea City, especially in the entertainment industry because the people who come and go are VIPs from Sea City’s upper circles."
"This clubhouse is also different from general ones, adopting a referral system rather than the sort where money buys membership and enjoyment. If you don’t have a recommendation, even if you’re wealthy, the clubhouse won’t let you in."
"A lot of actresses in the industry are dying to get into this clubhouse because once you’re there, you might get the chance to meet nobility you usually can’t. If you can latch onto someone influential, you secure a backer. You know, in the entertainment industry, being connected and disconnected is the difference between two worlds."
Sun Yutong glanced at Li Feng.
"In short, it’s nearly impossible for you to get into Heavenly Palace."
Sun Yutong shook her head. There were two ways into the Heavenly Palace. One was a referral from a member of the Heavenly Palace, but every member of this club was out of reach.
Although Li Feng had one foot in the wealthy Wang Family’s door, he was just a son-in-law. With his status, why would any powerful and influential person willingly associate with him? They would probably want to avoid him as much as possible.
As for the other way...
That was to be invited. Not just actresses, but the Heavenly Palace also invited popular male actors and young hunks. But what they did there was something left unsaid.
Even with this method, Li Feng was not eligible, because the Heavenly Palace sought those in the entertainment circle who were both famous and good-looking. For a little star like her with average popularity, it was very difficult to secure an invitation.
She had a friend who said there was a guy named Rabbit Brother who had the connections and specialized in brokering deals, but it would cost quite a bit of money and might even involve letting someone take advantage.
Li Feng just chuckled at Sun Yutong’s dismissal, stood up, and walked out of the private room. Sun Yutong quickly followed.
"Where are you going?"
Li Feng turned to look at Sun Yutong, "Don’t you already know? Obviously, to the Heavenly Palace."
Sun Yutong was speechless. So her words had fallen on deaf ears: "Didn’t I just say that the Heavenly Palace isn’t somewhere just anyone can enter? You won’t be able to get in if you go."
Li Feng finished paying the bill at the internet café, got out, and hailed a taxi by the roadside. Just as he was about to leave, Sun Yutong opened the door and squeezed in.
"Didn’t I tell you to go back?"
"I’m not going back. Why can’t you understand plain speech? I said it’s impossible, impossible, yet you refuse to believe it."
Sun Yutong looked at Li Feng, speechless. Couldn’t the guy have a bit of self-awareness? He really thought he was Master Li.
She decided to follow and see how he planned to get into the Heavenly Palace.
Li Feng couldn’t be bothered with Sun Yutong’s chattering and simply closed his eyes. It was sunset, and the traffic on the road was getting heavier but thankfully cleared up after a short while.
The Heavenly Palace was located in the western suburbs of Sea City, near the fourth ring, in a quiet spot. Although the surrounding area was not as bustling as the city center, it was far from desolate.
The cab stopped by the road and let them out.
"Humph."
Sun Yutong hummed, looking at Li Feng, who was stubbornly trying his luck, and followed him towards a diversionary path.
Heavenly Palace was hidden behind a stretch of greenery.
Just at that moment,
suddenly a sports car came speeding along, barely slowing down before swerving into the deceleration lane, its dazzling high beams shining so brightly that the two could hardly open their eyes.
Screech.
The sports car traveled about ten meters before it suddenly braked and reversed back, the car window slid down, and a young man wearing a name-brand watch and designer suit poked out his head, reaching to adjust the rearview mirror, his gaze sizing up Sun Yutong.
He whistled loudly and said flirtatiously, "Beauty, are you going out to have fun? Want a ride?"
Although Sun Yutong wasn’t the type of stunning beauty that took your breath away, she possessed the quality of a delicate and lovely household beauty; and as an actress, naturally, she kept her figure in very good shape, which was always Sun Yutong’s most prideful asset.
Sun Yutong didn’t expect to be hit on, but her eyes quickly swept to the woman sitting beside the playboy in the passenger seat.
She stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Li Feng’s, "Sorry, I already have a partner."
The playboy shifted his gaze and took a glance at Li Feng, speaking bluntly, "Heh, never seen someone get dropped off by a taxi at Heavenly Palace before."
"I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the club."
Having said that, the playboy slammed the gas pedal, arrogantly and wildly driving into the deceleration lane.
Sun Yutong watched the rear lights of the sports car and turned to look at Li Feng.
"Do you see? This is the bare minimum to get into Heavenly Palace: a luxury sports car, a gorgeous woman. Do you know who that woman on his passenger side was just now?"
"Oh?"
Sun Yutong huffed and said directly, "Liu Yifei, she’s a top-notch actress like Tong Qian. Rumor has it she grew up as a child star and has a ’godfather’ backing her."
"Now she just sits beside her man, watching him flirt with other women and doesn’t even make a sound."
"We can still turn back now; otherwise, it won’t be just about facing rejection later." Sun Yutong wasn’t trying to bring down Li Feng, but these upper-class circles loved to compare, and if you weren’t one of them, they would trample you mercilessly.
This circle is even more ruthless than you can imagine.
"Having heard you say that, now I really want to see how hard it is to enter Heavenly Palace’s gates."
Li Feng didn’t back down but instead walked forward, leaving Sun Yutong stomping her feet in frustration behind him.
Why so stubborn, like a donkey.
Crossing this several dozen meter-decay lane, they beheld a fountain plaza, and right in front was the resplendent Heavenly Palace.
The playboy who had driven the sports car earlier leaned against it, beside him stood a long-haired beauty in a white dress, a sought-after blossoming actress who could rival Tong Qian in fame, naturally graced with striking beauty, and moreover, her long legs at over 1.7 meters tall were particularly eye-catching.
In contrast, the playboy’s height of just 1.7 meters seemed somewhat lacking.
"Heh, you really had the guts to show up."
The playboy watched Li Feng and Sun Yutong approach on foot, his eyes pausing on Li Feng for only a moment before settling on Sun Yutong.
"Hey, beauty, I really like your type, girl. First time here? With this loser, you won’t even be able to get through the door before security chases you out."
"How embarrassing that would be. Better to stick with me; tonight I’ll take you flying."
