Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

Some people might scoff at this point, thinking, "What's so special about a menu?"

The menu for the Mei family banquet was indeed unique and very memorable.

Because its front is printed with peach blossoms personally painted by Mr. Mei Lanfang, and stamped with a seal carved by Mr. Qi Baishi,

The back features classic opera scores from the American school of theater, along with a set menu handwritten by Mr. Xi himself.

Du Shaobin handed the box to Wu Mingcheng with both hands.

"Mr. Wu, as you probably know, this is a tradition of our Mei family banquet, and also a small gift from our Mei family banquet to you,"

Xiang Yuxi, standing to the side, looked at the box with longing eyes; she really wanted to have this menu.

Wu Mingcheng took the box from Du Shaobin and handed it directly to Xiang Yuxi, who was standing to the side.

He knew Xiang Yuxi liked this kind of thing; he had noticed her expression when looking at the menu beforehand.

He was looking at the menu with the mindset of appreciating calligraphy and paintings.

So he said,

"Yuxi, this is for you. I knew you were interested in this menu when you were looking at it earlier, so consider it a gift from me."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuxi happily took the box and said with great joy,

"Thank you, Mingcheng,"

Then, Wu Mingcheng turned around and said goodbye to Du Shaobin.

"Well then, Mr. Du, we'll be leaving now. We won't disturb your business any longer."

After saying that, they tried to walk outside.

Du Shaobin escorted Wu Mingcheng and the others to the alley entrance before returning to the courtyard house.

Because Du Shaobin is never usually present at the Mei family banquets; he usually leaves the affairs to the manager.

He only appears to greet distinguished guests.

So after seeing Wu Mingcheng and the others off, he left the restaurant directly.

Afterwards, the manager and waiters at the Mei family banquet were also very puzzled.

Who exactly is this young man? Why would Du Shaobin personally receive him?

After Wu Mingcheng and his group left the Mei family banquet, he checked the time and found that it wasn't particularly late.

He then addressed the others,

"What are our plans next? It's still early, where would you like to go for a while?"

At this moment, the boys remained silent, giving the opportunity to the girls.

In addition, they were mainly worried that if they were too proactive, they would scare away the girls in Xiang Yuxi's dormitory.

However, surprisingly, one of the girls in Xiang Yuxi's dormitory spoke up at this moment.

"Then we'll go to the bar, of course!"

The other girls agreed.

"Sure, let's go to a bar."

Wu Mingcheng looked at them and smiled slightly.

He thought to himself, "These girls all seem so quiet and reserved, I never imagined they had such a wild side."

Then, Wu Mingcheng looked at his close friends in the dormitory and asked for their opinions.

It's fair to say that this idea was exactly what they wanted, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Sure, I completely agree with the ladies. Let's go to a bar and have some fun to digest our food."

Wu Mingcheng rarely goes to these entertainment venues while he is at school.

He asked,

"Okay, then it's decided we'll go to a bar. Which bar should we go to? Do you have any recommendations?"

One of the girls in Xiang Yuxi's dormitory said,

"We usually go to a bar near our school to sit for a while."

"But it's a holiday today, it's bound to be crowded. If we rush back now, we don't even know if there will be any seats left."

Then, one of the girls asked one of the boys present,

"I don't believe you guys don't go to bars regularly? Tell me, which bar are we going to?"

The group discussed for a long time but still couldn't decide where to go next.

Chapter 58: Same treatment?

Suddenly, Wu Mingcheng remembered that one of his good friends seemed to have opened a bar on Gongren West Road, and he thought he had been there once before.

Then he spoke,

"Okay, I remember I have a friend who owns a bar on Gongren West Road, I think it's called One-Third Club."

"How about we go there? I remember it's pretty close by, so we won't have to go through all that trouble."

Wu Mingcheng's roommates also like to go out a lot. One-Third Club is quite famous among bars in Beijing.

It belongs to the highest level of consumption and the best service, and not everyone can afford to go there.

Immediately, one of Wu Mingcheng's roommates exclaimed in surprise,

"Is that the One-Third Club on Gongren West Road? Wow, that's a famous bar in the capital!"

Mingcheng, you have so many friends! They're everywhere, and they're all quite wealthy!

What he probably doesn't know is that if Wu Mingcheng were to announce that he wanted to make friends in the capital,

It's estimated that countless wealthy businessmen, second-generation rich kids, and officials would be eager to curry favor with Wu Mingcheng, simply to become acquainted with him.

Wu Mingcheng then said with a smile,

"A lot? It's alright, they're all my childhood friends, we've known each other since we were little. I don't even know how much money they have."

Although Xiang Yuxi and the other girls in her dorm usually appear quiet and gentle, and are elegant and dignified beauties,

But they also have a restless, girlish heart, and occasionally they go out to bars to relax.

They had certainly heard about the bar street on Gongren West Road from the bars they frequented; it was said that the prices there were quite high.

However, after thinking about the cost of tonight's dinner, they felt relieved.

However, what was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. After hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Xiang Yuxi...

She gained a clearer understanding of Wu Mingcheng's family background.

They all thought that Wu Mingcheng had already spent a lot of money tonight and didn't want him to spend any more.

Just as Xiang Yuxi's dorm leader was about to speak...

"Handsome Mingcheng, let's find someone..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Mingcheng interrupted.

"Nothing much? I receive a monthly doctoral stipend, research stipend, and various scholarships."

I don't need to spend any money, so you don't need to skimp on things for me. Okay, let's just go for one-third of it."

Hearing Wu Mingcheng say this, the group had no choice but to follow his instructions.

So, the group took a taxi to the One-Third Club on Gongren West Road.

Once you enter the intersection of Gongren West Road, the view from the outside is completely different.

Along the way, they could see all sorts of luxury cars parked everywhere.

Luxury car brands such as Ferrari, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, and Massager are all available.

Needless to say, Baoma, Benchi, and Aodi are not even in the top tier here.

Moreover, the entire street was brightly lit with flashing neon lights, making it feel nothing like nighttime.

The streets were bustling with people, and many well-dressed men and women stood by the roadside, joking and playing together.

When they arrived at the One-Third Club, they saw many handsome men and beautiful women dressed in their finest attire standing at the entrance, presumably waiting in line.

A girl then said,

Wow, so many people! Are there any seats left inside?

Wu Mingcheng then spoke to them,

"Okay, please wait here for me for a moment. I'll go inside and take a look, and reserve a table at the bar while I'm at it,"

The group nodded and waited for Wu Mingcheng at the door.

Then, Wu Mingcheng went to the bar to inquire.

At that moment, the bar's general manager had just seen several prominent figures from the industry out the door.

He wiped the sweat from his brow; serving these young masters was no easy task.

He had to be extra careful, daring not to offend anyone in the slightest, as they were all people he couldn't afford to offend.
