I was completely dumbfounded when I heard that; I was totally stumped and didn't know what to say.
"Where in Beijing have I signed up for memberships over the past few years?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Weimin burst into laughter. It was truly hard to imagine that Wu Mingcheng, a top-tier young master from Beijing, would receive such treatment.
He laughed and said,
"Hahahaha, I find it hilarious just listening to it, it's so funny!"
If people in our circle found out that our esteemed young master of the Wu family had been turned away,
I couldn't even reserve a table at the restaurant, and in the end, I was kicked out.
I reckon this whole thing will make all the rich and powerful young men in Beijing laugh themselves to death.”
Wu Mingcheng said helplessly.
"To be honest, I've never encountered anything like this in the capital before, not even once in my life."
You know, I can't argue with a mere customer service representative about these things.
Didn't you lead the way when we went before? You and that boss seem to have a good relationship, don't you?
So I had no choice but to contact you. Besides, who else am I supposed to talk to about this?
Fan Weimin thought about it and realized that the people they got along well with were either the children of various ministries or from military compounds.
He then said,
"Alright, I'll take care of it for you right away. I need to tell the brothers about this."
Just you wait, next time we meet, the brothers will have plenty of ways to tease you.”
Wu Mingcheng spoke up,
"Well done, you're a true brother, never missing a chance to humiliate me."
Fan Weimin then seemed to realize something and said,
"By the way, our Huaxing Club has been open for so long, don't you even care about it?"
Then, Wu Mingcheng continued,
"What's there to worry about? There are dedicated people to run the business, and you guys and my brothers can handle everything else. Who would dare to cause trouble for Huaxing Society?"
Okay, let's get together properly when I have summer vacation.
I still have a lot of things to finish during this short holiday, so I won't be able to see you all.
Fan Weimin nodded and said,
"Okay, whatever you say. Focus on your important business first. We brothers can get together anytime."
Also, my dad has been talking about you every day lately.
Whenever he had a spare moment, he would say to me, "Look at Mingcheng, he's academically successful and excellent in every way."
"Look at yourself again, you're a typical spoiled brat, a complete failure."
Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng burst into laughter and said,
"Hahahaha, I must say, Uncle Fan's assessment of you is quite accurate,"
Fan Weimin was speechless at this point.
"I can't refute that; you are indeed superior to me in every way."
Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,
"If that's the case, then I definitely need to visit Uncle Fan during my summer vacation this year,"
Fan Weimin then quickly said,
"Please don't come! You're not welcome in our house. Please stop messing with me."
Since you came, my father has been nagging me for two weeks straight; I haven't had a moment's peace.
Upon hearing this, the people nearby were immediately alarmed.
It's important to know that Fan Weimin's father, Fan Zhong, was the Party Secretary of Beijing.
Moreover, he was a key general in the military faction within the court, destined to enter the center of power.
The person on the other end of the phone was surprisingly close to Fan Weimin's father, Fan Zhong.
At this moment, Wu Mingcheng said...
"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. You go about your business, I won't bother you."
I'll rest for a bit at noon; I need to go to the library to study this afternoon.
Once you've reserved the table, just send me a message when the time comes.
Fan Weimin nodded and said,
"Okay, I'll send you a message after I've made the arrangements."
After saying that, Wu Mingcheng hung up the phone.
Chapter 37 The Person the Elders Were Talking About
Meanwhile, Fan Weimin, after hanging up the phone at the dinner party, was also filled with apprehension.
Fortunately, he understood his good brother Wu Mingcheng's personality; he wasn't the competitive type.
Otherwise, if Wu Mingcheng wanted to organize the Mei family banquet, he really wouldn't have been able to stop him.
After all, his relationship with Wu Mingcheng was definitely closer than that with Lao Du; he could only plead for Lao Du at the last minute.
He couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
"You rascal, Lao Du! That was close! You almost offended someone you shouldn't have."
Fortunately, my brother is an open-minded person, not the petty kind.”
At the dinner table, a businessman, upon hearing the name Lao Du, asked,
"Young Master Fan, Old Du? Which Old Du are you talking about?"
Fan Weimin said directly,
"Who else could it be? Old Du from the Mei family banquet, of course."
A manager standing nearby said,
"Old Du has made a fortune these past two years thanks to the Mei family banquets,"
Another person said,
"Of course! That actor named Du Jiayi, our ancestor, had foresight; he invested in building the Mei Family Banquet Hall."
"I reckon the Mei family banquet alone would be enough to feed the Du family for a lifetime, not to mention how much that courtyard house must have cost,"
Fan Weimin also said,
"Indeed, these courtyard houses are incredibly expensive now. Remember when we were organizing the Huaxing Club?"
The address was set at the Prince Chun's Mansion on the north bank of Houhai Lake, but it took a lot of effort to acquire that mansion.
Young Master Sun, standing to the side, asked curiously,
"Young Master Fan, I heard from people in the industry that when the Huaxing Society was established, it was Young Master Wu who spearheaded its formation?"
Upon hearing about the Huaxing Society mentioned by Young Master Sun, everyone immediately became interested.
The Huaxing Society can be considered one of the four major clubs within the princeling circle in Beijing.
Its influence is enormous, and its members are all extremely wealthy and powerful.
It, along with the Grand Hyatt Club, Dragon Dynasty Club, and Caesar Club, is known as one of the four major clubs for the princelings in Beijing.
These four major conferences correspond to a group of princeling factions represented by the four princes of the capital.
Fan Weimin began to speak.
"Yeah, that's right. Back then, Mingcheng just wanted a place for us guys to eat, drink, have fun, and get to know each other better."
Unexpectedly, more and more people joined later, leading to the situation we have today.
Later, Wang Ming, Zhao Qian, Li Kunlun, and the others saw that Huaxing Club was absorbing too much power.
They couldn't resist and started establishing their own clubs, which led to the later formation of the four major clubs.
A second-generation rich kid standing nearby nodded in approval.
"Young Master Wu truly lived up to his reputation as a prominent figure in Kyoto back then; he must have been thinking quite far ahead."
At this moment, Young Master Sun spoke up.
"Brother Weimin, I know your temperament very well."
Knowing your temperament, once you start drinking, no one can bother you except your father on the phone.
Who called just now? None of us sounded like your grandfather.
Sun Shao's question drew curious glances from everyone at the table as they looked at Fan Weimin.
After all, Fan Weimin was a top young master in Beijing's social circles, known as the right-hand man of the Wu family's heir.
