Chapter 538: Meeting an Acquaintance

Tian Shang Ren Jian.

Inside the private room, besides the seven people Wang Sicong brought, there were also a dozen or so "princesses" specifically there to provide services to the honored guests, such as picking songs, pouring drinks, and so on...

Of course, as long as you are willing to spend the money, it is not impossible to take one of these "princesses" away.

"Heh! Wang, you sure know how to party." Shen Yan greeted him with a meaningful tone.

Seeing the main guest, Wang Sicong, who had been busy groping the beautiful, long white legs of the woman beside him, hurriedly stood up and smiled back: "Old Shen, you're here. Let me introduce you. These are all my good friends. Lin Gou, Lin Gengxin—you know him, we often play games together."

"This is Cui XX. His father is the Secretary of the Shanghai Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and he himself is muddling along in the Hangzhou Tax Bureau..."

"This one is..."

After a round of introductions, Shen Yan had a rough understanding of these people's backgrounds; they were either second-generation officials with deep connections or second-generation wealthy heirs with vast fortunes.

If it were in the past, Shen Yan would certainly have been cautious and prudent upon meeting these people, but now...

It would be more appropriate for their fathers to come instead.

One's vision determines one's status.

These days, Shen Yan had been in frequent contact with city and provincial leaders, and he was almost being carried to the heavens by them. After all, Yancheng Technology was a rising star—no, it should be said it was a true dragon soaring above the nine heavens.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yancheng Technology possessed the potential to reach the pinnacle of the internet.

Who knows, maybe one day it would become the richest company.

And the operational status of Yancheng Technology had a decisive influence on the economy of Hangzhou.

The higher-ups had issued strict orders to vigorously support Yancheng Technology, giving money when money was needed and resources when resources were needed; these small fries below would never dare to feign compliance while acting in opposition.

These young masters clearly understood Shen Yan's weight and stood up one after another to greet him: "Hello, Brother Shen. We have long heard of your great reputation, and today we have finally met you in person."

"You're too kind. You all look older than me, just call me Shen Yan." Shen Yan revealed a smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

Lin Gou said: "How could we do that? In society, we don't judge by age. Brother Shen started from scratch and has been stirring up the internet world. Our elders have praised you highly, and we admire you greatly. Calling you Brother Shen is only right."

"Right, right! Brother Shen is my idol."

"Brother Shen, sit down quickly. Pick whichever girl you like to keep you company. If you aren't satisfied, we'll swap them until you are."

"Everyone sit!" Hearing them say this, Shen Yan did not stand on ceremony. Under the expectant gazes of the many "princesses," he sat down directly beside Wang Sicong.

And on the other side was Xiao Chuchu.

Whether at school or outside, Xiao Chuchu was always heavily made up. She did have a certain amount of beauty; no wonder she could get into a nightclub of this caliber.

Seeing this scene, the other "princesses" were incredibly disappointed.

They were naturally no strangers to this legendary figure of great renown. Not only was he rich, but he was also so handsome; he was simply the partner every woman dreamed of.

Even though they were "well-traveled and experienced," they couldn't help but feel a flutter in their hearts, all wanting to get close to Shen Yan.

If they were lucky enough to gain his favor, they couldn't even imagine how happy the rest of their lives would be.

Even if nothing good came of it, a bit of close-contact physical intimacy would be fine.

With that physique and that face, they would be willing even without money; they wouldn't even rule out paying him to be with them.

From the moment Shen Yan entered the door, Xiao Chuchu's mood was like a swaying leaf, unable to land, her expression shifting like the clouds. She had originally thought that working in such a high-end establishment, she wouldn't run into anyone she knew, but man proposes, heaven disposes.

And the person was her own classmate.

Thinking about it, it was perfectly normal for someone of Shen Yan's status to frequent such places.

Although she knew well that Shen Yan wasn't a blabbermouth, it was another matter whether he would keep her secret. If he let it slip or used it as fodder for gossip, how would she be able to stand in school? The spit of others alone could drown her.

Shen Yan could roughly guess her thoughts, but he didn't take them to heart at all, chatting away with Wang Sicong and asking about the recent situation of Wanda Film.

Speaking of this, the smile on the corner of Wang Sicong's mouth could not be suppressed at all.

"Thanks to that press conference, the number of active users for Wanda Film has been climbing recently, and even the box office for movies has generally risen a notch. Old Shen, I'll toast you. The movie *Tai Jiong* earned Wanda a huge sum of money. My dad praised me quite a bit. Thank you!"

Shen Yan raised his glass and clinked it with his.

Then Wang Sicong said that many investment companies were optimistic about Wanda Film and intended to invest, asking for Shen Yan's opinion. Shen Yan naturally had no objections.

Financing is good; the more you finance, the more valuable it becomes!

In fact, Shen Yan hadn't really taken Wanda Film to heart, but an extra windfall was always good.

At this time, Xiao Chuchu finally adjusted her mood and took the initiative to pour wine for Shen Yan: "Brother Shen, what songs do you like to sing? I'll help you order them."

"Let's have 'West Sea Love Song'," Shen Yan replied, his indifferent tone as if he didn't know the person in front of him.

"Alright!" Xiao Chuchu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her little face bloomed with a sweet smile, and her voice became coquettish, intentionally or unintentionally exuding an alluring charm.

Next, led by the "princesses," the atmosphere at the scene gradually heated up. Some were singing, some were playing finger-guessing games. A princess with the stage name Nightingale kept leaning toward Shen Yan, her breath like orchids, her voice like a warbling bird.

With beauty at the level of a school belle, a deep cleavage, and long, fair legs, she was naturally charming in every gesture. She was so alluring that even Shen Yan couldn't help but take a few extra looks.

This made Nightingale feel quite proud.

When Shen Yan lost a game, she even suggestively proposed that they drink a cross-cupped wine.

"Wow!"

The others there kept egging them on.

They were all young people; there weren't many who didn't like to play.

Shen Yan didn't ruin the atmosphere. Since they were out to have fun, it was inevitable to just go through the motions.

When drinking the cross-cupped wine, he was like a veteran of many battles, his tone flippant and his expression ambiguous. In Xiao Chuchu's eyes, this scene left her feeling all sorts of unpleasant emotions.

She had thought Shen Yan was so upright; it turned out he played so wildly when he was out.

But why did he always treat her with such cold disdain? Was she not pretty enough? Was her figure not good enough? Or was he just putting on an act?

Looking at those other men, their hands were almost reaching into the skirts of the "princesses."

Unreconciled, Xiao Chuchu brought out all her skills, posturing and posing in front of Shen Yan. Shen Yan roughly guessed her thoughts, leaned in, and said coldly: "Don't get any ideas you shouldn't have. I told you before that I'm not that kind of person."

Xiao Chuchu, who had been nervous and whose heart had been racing, felt like she had been doused with a basin of cold water at this moment, and her whole body gave a start.

Meeting those indifferent eyes, she blurted out: "I'm sorry, I... I... didn't mean anything else. I just hope you're happy and won't tell anyone about seeing me here."
