Xu Rui was wearing a finely tailored suit that was perfectly pressed without a single wrinkle. His straight and upright posture, like a flagpole, made him look exceptionally energetic.
His black hair had been meticulously styled and held perfectly in place with pomade.
Every strand lay neatly against his scalp, exuding an air of competence and professionalism that was hard to ignore.
With his well-defined features and proper attire, he truly had the demeanor of a high-end hotel manager.
When Xu Rui heard Jiang Cheng's words, his previously serious face instantly broke into a gentle smile, like the warm sunshine of spring.
His medium-sized eyes narrowed slightly as he replied cheerfully.
"Isn't that the truth? My son got married last week, and my wife kept nagging that my white hair made me look too old, forcing me to dye it black. Ah, I couldn't win against her, so I just had to obey!"
After speaking, he shook his head helplessly, yet the smile at the corner of his mouth was impossible to hide.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng congratulated Xu Rui, saying, "Haha, that truly is wonderful news! Congratulations!"
"Hahaha, thank you for the kind words, Young Master Jiang! Stop standing here talking, please come in, come in." Xu Rui said with a beaming smile, extending his right hand enthusiastically in a standard welcoming gesture.
Si Qing moved inside, her gaze drawn by the antique charm of the club's lobby.
The wooden structure of the lobby exuded a rustic atmosphere.
Exquisite murals hung on the walls, and soft light spilled onto the floor, making it feel as if one had stepped into a world filled with artistic ambiance.
Si Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, I can't believe a place like this exists in Modu! It looks huge. Is it a mountain villa?"
Hearing this question, Jiang Cheng made a fist with his right hand, placed it near his mouth, and gave a light cough. He said, "You could consider it a mountain villa. The chefs here can make delicacies from all over, and they have fun activities like archery, horseback riding, bowling, and golf, plus hot springs, sauna, spa, and everything else."
After he finished speaking, the excitement in Si Qing's eyes intensified.
"Wow, that sounds like so much fun! It seems much more entertaining than a regular mountain villa."
Xu Rui, who was walking ahead, paused slightly when he heard Si Qing's words.
He had originally assumed that Si Qing, coming with Jiang Cheng, would know something about this place.
But judging from Si Qing's tone and reaction, she seemed completely unaware of what this club was.
Xu Rui couldn't help but sigh internally, "Young people nowadays sure know how to have fun."
"It's certainly good. Their food is also top-notch, not inferior at all to professional restaurants outside."
Hearing this, Xu Rui echoed Jiang Cheng's words: "Young Master Jiang is right. We... our main focus here is high-end occasions, so the chefs we hire are famous culinary masters from all over."
After speaking, Xu Rui added, "Young Master Jiang, Young Master Qin and Young Master Wang are already waiting for you upstairs."
After saying this, Xu Rui glanced at Si Qing before looking back at Jiang Cheng.
Understanding Xu Rui's implication, Jiang Cheng said seriously, "Old Xu, why are you making that face? I'm different from those guys. I came here just for a proper meal. Can't you see I even brought my girlfriend? You can arrange things for them later; don't bother with that superficial stuff for me."
Hearing this, Xu Rui's expression showed no flaw whatsoever.
He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I understand. As usual, as usual."
Hearing this, Si Qing asked curiously, "What does'superficial stuff' mean?"
Before Xu Rui could finish his sentence, a middle-aged woman wearing black fur came storming out toward them.
Seeing Xu Rui walking toward her with Jiang Cheng, the woman quickly approached Xu Rui.
After glancing at Jiang Cheng, she quietly asked Xu Rui, "Xu Rui, where is Xie Kang? Where is he?"
He replied helplessly, "Madam Xie, I don't know either."
"Hmph, you said the same thing last time. And what happened? I waited at the entrance for three hours, and he walked out hugging one of your club girls..."
