Chapter 21: Chapter 18: What Tier Is Su Ran In?
"Wait a second..." Su Ran pulled Liu Jinyu back to his side. "I actually have a question for you. Do all you girls from Chongqing have nicknames for guys?"
"Of course not. It’s... an affectionate nickname. Stinky Ranran~"
How should he put it... Every time Liu Jinyu called him ’Stinky Ranran,’ her tone was especially gentle, sending a tingly, electrifying sensation through him.
"Oh..." Su Ran nodded. "I have another question. Do girls from Chongqing all have fiery tempers?"
Liu Jinyu smiled gently. "Do you think my temper is fiery?"
"Doesn’t seem like it."
"Then that’s that. I’m from Ninghai, not a born-and-bred Chongqing girl. So don’t worry, my temper isn’t fiery at all. Compared to those other three, I’m way gentler."
"I can’t tell."
"You... Hmph~"
To be honest, Liu Jinyu quite liked Su Ran, but it wasn’t love.
’She felt that... Su Ran’s personality was too ’zen.’ Just as Xiao Wanqing had said, "Only rich people can afford to live a zen lifestyle. Who among the poor would dare? They’d be worked to death with unpaid overtime."’
’Hmm... A zen lifestyle equals being rich enough to do whatever you want.’
’It’s just that Su Ran had taken the zen lifestyle to its absolute extreme, reaching an almost transcendental state: ’Whatever,’ ’It’s fine,’ ’I’m good with anything,’ ’It doesn’t matter,’ ’Never initiates, never refuses.’ ’
Liu Jinyu sighed deeply. ’This Stinky Ranran is so hard to handle~’
On the way to the bar, Liu Jinyu kept thinking about this.
Su Ran, on the other hand, was chatting away with the other three girls, getting closer to them.
Whatever they asked, Su Ran answered. No tricks, no evasiveness, only the truth.
He just wasn’t the type of guy to use fancy words and spout nonsense in front of girls.
There was no need to lie, and no need for fancy words.
Why would a Divine Rich need to do all that? All he had to do was be himself, enjoy life, and the girls would come naturally.
Night fell, and the city lights began to glow.
Shanghai switched into its most decadent and glamorous nightlife mode.
Supercars were already roaring through the streets, and luxury cars worth millions or tens of millions were everywhere.
Shanghai for the poor, the Magic City for the rich.
Men love supercars, but women love them even more.
The girls in the car looked out at the supercars with envy.
They turned onto the Julu Road bar street and parked in a spot at TAXX Bar. This was the location Gao Lu’s boyfriend had booked for the party. The place was supposedly opened by Deng Kai and hailed as Shanghai’s most expensive influencer-magnet bar.
After getting out of the car, they saw hot-bodied girls everywhere.
Some were climbing out of luxury cars, draped on the arms of rich second-generation kids as they walked into the bar.
Some were already drunk, being carried into a car by two or three men and whisked off to a Rujia hotel.
Others stood in groups of three or five by the bar’s entrance, sizing up their prey for the night.
Perhaps they were waiting to see if Wang Siming would show up tonight in his Rolls-Royce Phantom with a posse of influencers.
Or maybe they were waiting for the Hushang Emperor, Qin Fei, to roll up in a multimillion-dollar supercar with a group of hot girls to have some fun.
Super-rich second-generation heirs were the ultimate dream for these bar girls.
Unfortunately, Wang Siming didn’t show up, nor did Qin Fei. Instead, the unremarkable Su Ran arrived.
Su Ran was long used to scenes like this; he’d seen it all too many times. It was why he increasingly preferred good, wholesome girls.
"Do you guys come to bars often?" Su Ran asked.
"We’ve been to KTV countless times, but we’ve never been to a bar before. Wanqing is the one who likes bars," Liu Jinyu said.
"What do you mean, *I* like bars? I’ve only been a few times, okay? I’m not a slut like Gao Lu who thinks about clubbing all day. Come on, Su Ran, I’ll show you a thing or two."
"Okay."
’Show *me* a thing or two?’
’He wouldn’t say he felt completely at home in bars, but it was close enough. Honestly, he was sick of them.’
They bought tickets to get in. Gao Lu had transferred the money to Xiao Wanqing; since it was her treat, she was naturally the one paying. If the four young ladies had been asked to pay for themselves, they would have rather gone back to play with their "Stinky Ranran."
Su Ran was starting to get a handle on this group of girlfriends. ’They’re all crazy. Once you’re in with them, they don’t care if you’re a guy or a girl—they just love to fool around.’
Walking into TAXX Bar, the entire place was electric. Eardrum warning. The dance floor was filled with hot girls striking poses, and on the stage was a sexy, voluptuous DJ. This was currently Shanghai’s top influencer bar, the one with the most long-legged, high-end, influencer-faced girls.
’Weren’t the all-natural beauties right next to him far more appealing than those influencer faces with chins sharp enough to kill a man?’ Su Ran thought.
’As expected of a top-tier nightclub, the facilities are incredible,’ Su Ran thought. ’I should really have Boss Li come up from my little hometown county to check out the market in Shanghai next time.’
It was said that a good table at TAXX Bar on a weekend could go for as much as 300,000, and you still had to book in advance or you wouldn’t get a spot. Shanghai truly was a gathering place for the rich.
The booth Gao Lu’s boyfriend had booked was 202 in a back section, and it still cost over 20,000. Liu Jinyu had mentioned that Zhao Yang was a rich second-generation kid.
When they arrived at booth 202, three men and one woman were already sitting on the sofa.
"Aiyo~ You slutty bitches finally decided to show up. If you’d taken any longer, I would’ve drunk myself sick."
"Whoa~ Gao Lu, you don’t even give us a heads-up about your birthday, and you have the nerve to complain we’re late? If you weren’t so pretty and sexy, I wouldn’t have even come."
"Hahaha... I just love that little mouth of yours, Aina. You always say the sweetest things."
Gao Lu pulled Aina down onto the sofa beside her, then tilted her head up, giving Liu Jinyu a wicked grin.
"Hey, Squirting Whale, aren’t you going to introduce me to the man you’ve hooked?"
"STOP!"
Liu Jinyu knew this woman was about to make fun of her, so she cut her off first.
She threw an arm around Su Ran’s neck, looking very cool, and switched to her Chongqing dialect. "This is my friend, Su Ran. Gao Lu, don’t you be spoutin’ no nonsense to me, ya hear?"
Gao Lu burst out laughing. She was from Chengdu, so she understood the dialect perfectly.
"This kid’s pretty handsome. Lemme tell ya, if you don’t want me to tease you all night, you gotta drink ’til you drop. No room for negotiation."
