Better to Make Friends Than Enemies

"What? Invite him to join the club?" the man driving the Urus repeated.

Qin He crossed his legs and lit a cigarette. "That's right. My club hasn't been established for long, and we're currently short of premium members."

"Since this guy casually wears a watch worth tens of millions, the car he drives probably won't be bad either."

"What if it's just a fake, packaged persona?" the guy driving the XM said.

"Xiao Du, do you think my judgment is that bad? A status can be packaged, but temperament isn't so easily faked," Qin He said lightly after opening a bottle of water and taking a sip.

The guy called Xiao Du nodded. "True. By the way, what was the minimum car requirement to join our club again?"

Qin He turned to look at Xiao Du and laughed. "You were one of the first to join, and you don't even know the membership requirements?"

Xiao Du smiled awkwardly. "Hehe, your club has only been around for a few months, so I'm not that familiar with it yet."

Qin He shook his head helplessly. "The minimum requirement is a Carrera GTS, a GTR, an R8, or something similar. Anyway, it has to be a sports car worth at least around two million."

"OK, OK, I'll remember it this time. How much is the membership fee?"

"Fifty thousand a year. Of course, those I personally invite are exempt."

"Got it. Then should we go ask him later?"

"Let's eat first."

...

Meanwhile, in Su Yang's private room, the hotpot had already been served.

Everyone sat around the table, eating, talking, and laughing.

"It doesn't feel very authentic," Liu Bo commented as he ate.

"Make do with it. It's good enough for a change of taste."

"True. Where are we going after dinner?"

"I don't know. I heard there's a pretty lively street around here. How about we go for a stroll later?" Meng Wenzhou said, picking up a piece of meat with his chopsticks.

"Shopping? Not really interested," Liu Bo said, looking at the girls. "I'm guessing they don't want to go shopping either."

Meng Qianyu stuck out her tongue and smiled. "Yeah, we don't really want to go shopping."

"Then what do you guys want to do? The options here are limited, there aren't many ways to have fun."

"If all else fails, let's just find a place to sit down and have some drinks," Zhang Ziming suggested.

"Alright, let's eat first."

Soon, the hearty hotpot meal came to an end.

Everyone stood up, grabbed their belongings, and prepared to leave.

Su Yang was closest to the exit, so he took the lead and pulled open the door of the private room.

As soon as he stepped out, he bumped into Qin He and his group of seven, who were just walking out of another private room on the right side of the corridor.

It just so happened that both Su Yang and Qin He wanted to get to know each other, so they both spoke up at the same time.

"Brother Qin."

"Brother Su."

"Haha, we meet again. Have you guys finished eating?" Qin He stepped forward and asked first.

Su Yang nodded. "Just finished. We're getting ready to head out."

"Us too." As Qin He said this, he walked up to Su Yang and saw Meng Wenzhou walking out of the room.

He paused for a moment before calling out with a hint of confusion, "President Meng?!"

At this time, Meng Wenzhou also saw Qin He standing at the door.

He walked out of the room, extended his hand, and smiled. "President Qin, long time no see."

"Holy crap, it really is you!" Qin He was still somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, this just shows that it's destiny, haha."

The two smiled and shook hands.

Qin He continued, "It really is fate. I didn't expect to run into you in Litang, haha. By the way, do you know Brother Su here too?"

"Of course. Su Yang is a good friend of mine," Meng Wenzhou smiled.

"Haha, it's truly a small world. I was just hoping to make friends with Brother Su, and I didn't expect you two to be friends."

As they were talking, the rest of the people in the private room also walked out one after another.

Looking at Pan Ning and the other super beauties, Qin He immediately thought to himself, 'Holy shit, that's impressive!'

Seeing that a large group of people was crowding the corridor, Su Yang spoke up, "How about we head outside first?"

"Sure, sure, let's go."

The dozen or so people quickly walked out of the hotpot restaurant and arrived at the roadside.

Qin He took out his cigarettes and looked at Su Yang. "Does President Su smoke?"

Su Yang nodded. "President Qin is too polite."

"It's nothing, here." Qin He was actually quite easygoing and didn't have that strong, arrogant aura of a rich second-generation heir. He handed out a cigarette to every guy present.

"President Meng, since we're so fated to meet, how about we all find a place to have a few drinks?"

Meng Wenzhou lit his cigarette and smiled. "Sure, we were just planning to find a place to sit down anyway. But stop calling me President Meng, just call me Old Meng."

"Old Meng, deal. Then for President Su here, I'll just call him Old Su, alright?"

Su Yang smiled amiably. "No problem, Lao Qin."

"Haha, great. Then where should we go? I'll book the place."

Meng Wenzhou took out his phone and smiled. "Let me do it."

"Hey! How can I let you do that? It was my suggestion, so it has to be me."

Qin He grabbed Meng Wenzhou's hand, turned his head to look at Xiao Du behind him, and shouted, "Xiao Du, book a bar."

"No problem." Xiao Du quickly took out his phone to book a bar.

"Give it a few minutes, let my brother find a bar."

"You're still as passionate as ever," Meng Wenzhou laughed.

"Hehe, it's only right."

At this time, Qin He looked at the others standing behind Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou and asked with a smile, "And how should I address these handsome guys and beautiful ladies?"

Zhang Ziming stepped forward with a faint smile. "Zhang Ziming."

"Zhang Ziming? Eh? Hold on." Qin He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Have we met somewhere before?"

Looking at Qin He, Zhang Ziming indeed felt the same way. Although their groups didn't usually interact, they would sometimes attend certain events with their families.

Perhaps they had seen each other at some past event or banquet, which was why they looked somewhat familiar to each other.

Taking advantage of the time it took to book the bar, the people from both sides briefly introduced themselves to each other.

Two minutes later, Xiao Du walked up to Qin He and said, "All set."

"OK, send it to me first."

"Sent."

"Good." Qin He said as he took out his phone and looked at Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou. "Old Meng, Old Su, shall we add each other on WeChat? I'll send you the address."

"No problem."

After adding the two on WeChat, Qin He also added Zhang Ziming, Chu Qiunan, and the other guys.

[Ding, side quest completed. Reward: 20 million.]

Su Yang smiled quietly and thought to himself, 'This is the easiest quest so far. Not bad at all. I hope there will be more easy quests like this in the future.'

Qin He sent the bar's address to Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou's phones. "Then we'll see you at the bar. Let's have a good chat later."

"OK."

After sending the address, Qin He called his people and headed toward the parking lot, while Su Yang and the others went to the roadside to hail a cab.

Watching the group standing by the road hailing a cab, Xiao Du said, "I didn't expect this Su Yang to actually be friends with Meng Wenzhou."

Qin He smiled faintly. "So, do you still think he's a fake?"

Xiao Du shook his head. "Someone who can hang out with a guy like Meng Wenzhou definitely isn't a packaged persona."

Qin He nodded. "That's right. I've met Meng Wenzhou a few times before. Actually, at the time, I kind of wanted to add him on WeChat to get to know him better. But I was interrupted by something, and since this guy rarely visits Hangzhou or Shanghai, I haven't seen him since."

"I didn't expect to run into him here today. It's a good opportunity to make friends with them."

"OK. But Brother Qin, I have to say, those girls with them are something else. Every single one of them is a top-tier beauty," Xiao Du blinked and smiled.

Qin He looked at Xiao Du and said flatly, "Don't even think about hitting on the girls around them. Meng Wenzhou is not a simple guy."

Saying this, Qin He turned his head, glanced at the group of people standing on the street in the distance, and continued.

"Don't be fooled by his usual low-key demeanor and how he keeps his abilities under wraps. He's genuinely capable."

"Remember, when dealing with capable people, it's always best to be friends rather than enemies. After all, this isn't an era of fighting and killing anymore."

Hearing this, the people around Qin He nodded in agreement.

"And that Su Yang, he gives me the feeling that he's no less impressive than Meng Wenzhou."

"Understood, Brother Qin," Xiao Du nodded.

"Of course, if one of the girls over there happens to take a liking to you, then pretend I didn't say anything. No one can stop mutual attraction."

"Hehe, got it. I'll go radiate my charm later~"

Qin He rolled his eyes at Xiao Du. "I've been talking for ages, and it's all gone in one ear and out the other. Don't be so frivolous. Do you think the girls hanging around Meng Wenzhou's crowd would fall for you just because you act cool and show off your wealth?"

Xiao Du scratched his head. "That's true too~"

"Besides, among those girls, one is Meng Wenzhou's own sister, and another is his cousin. They've both seen the world. You need to be a bit more composed, man~"

"Got it~"

......

On the other side, Meng Wenzhou also gave a brief introduction of Qin He to the others who didn't know him.

Afterward, they split into a few groups, hailed cabs, and headed toward the bar.

At 8:10 PM, Su Yang and his group arrived at the entrance of the bar first.

A few minutes later, Qin He and his group also drove over quickly.

Looking at the cool Brabus G900, Zhang Ziming smiled. "That car is indeed pretty cool~"

Chu Qiunan nodded, clearly loving it. "More than just a little! It's insanely cool. Seeing it makes me want to get one myself~"

The three cars arrived at the street-side parking spaces by the bar entrance and parked. Then, Qin He and his six companions got out and walked briskly toward Su Yang and the others.

"Sorry to keep you waiting~" Qin He called out with a wave as he looked at them.

"We just arrived too."

"Let's head inside and chat then~"
