ould sheThe car suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke again.Could it be that the Dragon Girl came today to ask about his departure Ye Fan was a little surprised, but he knew in his heart that he was...Linhai City, renowned as the "first city of beauty in China," boasts an abundance of high-end clubs, comparable to crucian carp crossing a river. There are countless of them, and some private clubs have even gained nationwide recognition, with incredibly high entry requirements that are jaw-dropping.

Here, the threshold is not only defined by assets, but also by identity, status, influence, and net worth, encompassing all aspects. Some clubs have even more peculiar entry requirements. For example, there's a billionaire club where all members must be worth over 100 million yuan and under 35 years old.

Such harsh conditions will keep many people out.

That club is said to hold a gathering every three months. The attendees include not only members of the club but also stunning women selected from all over the country by the club.

To elevate the status and ensure that these women's identities befit those young diamond kings, the club has become even more stringent in its selection criteria. Appearance, figure, temperament, talent — all are essential.

And at every gathering, there would always be a number of sparrows flying onto the branches to become phoenixes. This directly led to many young women who knew about this circle sparing no effort to improve themselves in order that one day they could attend the club's gatherings and realize their wish of transforming from sparrows into phoenixes.

In Linhai, besides the high entry thresholds of these private clubs, there are also some private tea gardens with even higher thresholds, and Yipin Tea Garden is one of them.

Located south of Linhai City, the Yipin Tea Garden is a small garden. It's filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants, and the tea houses are entirely built from bamboo. The teaware is also extremely refined, and every person who brews tea is a master of the tea ceremony.

Two stone lions stand at the entrance of the tea garden. They are so lifelike that at first glance, they seem indistinguishable from real ones. It is said that they were transported from the southernmost city in China and created by a renowned master sculptor during ancient times. They originally served as guardians for the residence of a high-ranking official.

Just as Ye Fan and Lin Meiyue were kissing passionately, a black, unassuming Audi A6 slowly pulled up to the entrance of Yipin Tea Garden.

Upon hearing the sound of a car, an elderly man in a hemp robe walked out of the tea garden. The old man glanced at the slowly stopped Audi A6, his eyes flashed with a strange light, but he remained motionless, standing with his hands behind his back at the door, giving off a feeling of being a lone warrior guarding the pass.

Inside the car, Si Kong's family head, Si Kong Yanran, and her secretary Zhou Xintong got out of the car. Seeing the strange-looking old man blocking the entrance, Si Kong Yanran smiled slightly. Although she felt strange in her heart, she still smiled and said: "Hello, sir, I am here to meet with Li Bing, the head of the Li family, as agreed."

“Li Bing” The old man looked up and down at Si Kong Yanran, but he ignored Zhou Xintong beside her.

Seeing that Si Kong Yanran nodded slightly, the old man also slowly withdrew his gaze and said: "Since Master Li is not here, Miss really waits for you inside. Follow me."

The invitation was indeed sent by Li Shiyu, but under the name of Li Bing. Hearing this, Si Kong Yanran nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."

Seeing the old man turn and leave, Si Kong Yanran didn't feel angry at all. Instead, she silently followed the old man with Zhou Xintong, stepping into Yipin Tea Garden.

Yipin Tea Garden belongs to the Li family. It is used to receive their partners and some high-ranking figures. According to Si Kong Yanran's knowledge, in the entire Linhai City, no more than thirty people can enter this tea garden. Li Shiyu set today's meeting place here, which shows her importance attached to this cooperation.

Although the two families had been in contact and signed several cooperation agreements before. However, this was the first time that the highest-ranking officials of both families met formally.

Sikong Yanran and Zhou Xintong followed the old man through a grove of bamboo at the entrance, along a stone path for about a minute, arriving at the door of a bamboo hut. Inside the bamboo hut, Li Shiyu had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Sikong Yanran and the old man appear at the door, she got up and greeted them with a smile: "Lao Mo, thank you for leading the way."

The old man nodded slightly and said in a faint voice, "It's just my duty." After speaking, he turned around and left.

"Master Mo was my father's steward back in the day, he contributed immensely to our entire Li family." Watching Master Mo leave, Li Shiyu's face flashed with a faint expression before she smiled and held onto Si Kong Yanan's hand, appearing extremely affectionate.

After she finished speaking, she took Si Kong Yanran's hand and said, "Yanran, let's go in."

Two women, both social butterflies and masters of networking, instantly hit it off. A few casual exchanges bridged the gap between them, and what seemed like simple conversation was actually brimming with subtle information.

And Zhou XinTong, who stood one meter behind Si Kong YanRan, always kept a smile. This is when Li ShiYu also walked over and hugged her, then took the two of them through the bamboo hut and into a meticulously crafted tea room opposite, built of red wood with an antique charm.

As they entered the tea room, two stunning waitresses, each standing at least five foot nine, had prepared snacks and appetizers for them.

Looking at the meticulously crafted tea sets on the table and the waitress who could easily participate in a beauty pageant, Si Kong Yanran's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness. She said calmly, "Sister Yu, I've heard for a long time that Yipin Tea Garden is not simple. Today, seeing it with my own eyes, it truly lives up to its reputation. This time, I'm able to step into this place thanks to your connections."

"Yanran, where are you talking about Yipin Tea Garden has always been open to you. You just never visited." Li Shiyu smiled slightly and affectionately pulled Si Kong Yanran down to sit beside her. What she said was right, although the number of people who could enter Yipin Tea Garden in Linhai City wouldn't exceed thirty, as the head of the Sikong family, Si Kong Yanran definitely had the qualifications to step inside. It's just that for various reasons, Si Kong Yanran had never come here before.

"You should come often in the future," Li Shiyu smiled affectionately. "By the way, wasn't it said that Shi Shi also wanted to meet me" After taking a sip of fragrant tea, Si Kong Yiran asked.

"Oh, we'll be there shortly." Li Shiyu sat across from Sikong Yanyan, and smiled faintly. Seeing Sikong Yanyan take a sip of tea, Li Shiyu immediately picked up the teapot and added more tea for her.

Seeing Li Shiyu so polite, Si Kong Yanan also chatted with her casually and didn't bring up the main point. Li Shiyu didn't seem to be in a hurry either, and she chatted with Si Kong Yanan about daily life.

Just then

A man's cough came from outside. Si Kong Yanran frowned in confusion, but saw a hint of joy flash across Li Shiyu's face. She stood up and said, "He's here."

"Sunkou Yanyan probably guessed who was coming, so she also stood up and smiled: "Then let's go out to greet them."

"How can I get Master Siku to welcome me Haha, dare not, dare not," As Si Kong Yanran's words fell, she saw Li ShiShi pushing a wheelchair into the room. The man sitting in the wheelchair, although his face was still slightly pale from the aftermath of his injuries, still had a smile plastered on it. He chuckled and said to Si Kong Yanran:

> It wasn't anyone else, but Li Bing, the head of the Li family!o happen to his boss. Over the years, he had always been by Wang Qiu Yang's side, working hard both before and after tasks. However, his boss hadn't arranged a place for him yet. If he just disappeare...
