"Do you believe if I say I’m from a rich family?" Su Yang laughed.
"If you really had money, I’d believe you even if you said you were from a rich zero generation!" Lin Dawei exclaid with excitent, "Bro, then let’s choose a club or a KTV when the ti cos, right?"
"Why choose a club? Just book the best hotel in town," Su Yang said. "With food and accommodation included, once they’ve had their fun at the club, they’ll have nowhere to stay!"
"What?" Lin Dawei grew even more excited and said with a sheepish laugh, "But, bro, the best hotel in town is said to be five-star, right? Booking the whole place... how much would that cost..."
"I’ve already said, if it’s sothing money can solve, then it’s no problem at all!" Su Yang said with a light smile.
"Then I’ll arrange it right away..." Lin Dawei was about to rush out excitedly, but he stopped suddenly at the door, turned around with a sheepish look, and said to Su Yang, "Wait, bro, if we’re going to book rooms, don’t we need to pay a deposit first? I... I’ve only got a bit over three hundred in my pocket. I guess that might not be enough..."
Su Yang laughed: "You’re kidding, right? A bit over three hundred? Even if you took over three million there, you wouldn’t be able to book it!"
"What?" Lin Dawei was stunned. "Surely it’s not that much money to book a five-star hotel for a day?"
"It’s not sothing you can just book because you want to!" Zhao Jun finally couldn’t hold back, "What about the hotel’s existing guests? This kind of thing, if you’re not soone with connections and status, who can do it?"
"Oh, right!" Lin Dawei imdiately looked at Su Yang: "Bro, so what do we do?"
"Alright, leave matters like the venue to ; you guys just handle the promotion," Su Yang said with a smile.
"You got it, bro! Then we’ll wait for your good news!" Lin Dawei said with a face full of excitent.
Zhao Jun waved his hand: "You two, hurry out and start promoting. Don’t waste ti."
"You got it!" Lin Dawei and Wang Cheng rushed out excitedly. Zhao Jun walked up to Su Yang, lowered his voice, and said, "Su Yang, I’ve done so calculations, booking a smaller hotel in town would cost tens of thousands. And with other expenses, it definitely won’t be cheap. Should I call my brother and ask him to send us so money?"
Su Yang looked at Zhao Jun and laughed, "What, you think I’m bluffing?"
"It’s not that, mainly it’s that this trip will definitely cost a lot," Zhao Jun said in a low voice. "Su Yang, I understand how you feel, not wanting our departnt to be looked down on. So, I was thinking, I’d contribute a little bit."
"Relax, I’ve already said, if it’s sothing money can solve, then it’s not a problem," Su Yang said with a laugh. "My family, we really do have a mine!"
"What?" Zhao Jun’s eyes widened, and after staring at Su Yang for a mont, he laughed, "Alright, then I believe you. But, I’ve never heard of any big mines in Pingnan Province."
"Then soon you will know," Su Yang said with a faint smile.
"Alrighty, let know if there’s anything I can help with," Zhao Jun imdiately said.
Su Yang said with a laugh, "Going downstairs to buy a covered rice dish would be the most helpful thing right now."
"No problem!" Zhao Jun chuckled, "You’re here strategizing behind the scenes, so leave these errand tasks to us!"
Watching Zhao Jun leave, Su Yang walked to the window with his hands clasped behind him, quietly observing the night scene outside.
In fact, the idea of hosting an evening party was a sudden whim of Su Yang’s.
He hadn’t planned on causing much fuss here, but the events of tonight had changed his mind.
There were so things Zhao Jun didn’t say while he was talking, but Su Yang saw them.
This evening party was actually a display of wealth. The key to showing off wealth was, first, to attract people and to consolidate a new power base, and the other reason was for those wealthy scions to have an opportunity to interact with the school’s upper echelons.
Zhao Jun didn’t ntion the second point, but it was sothing his brother learned after spending four years at this school. Although Su Yang didn’t know the exact reason behind it, he felt the school was becoming more mysterious.
Moreover, Su Yang, who had been at the school for such a long ti, had never seen any of the senior figures of the institution. As for the teachers, they were all quite ordinary and lacked anything special.
And from Zhao Jun’s mories, it was apparent that even his brother t with a high-level school official only after graduating from four years of study, and that was it.
That is to say, eting with the school’s upper echelons was not an easy task.
Hosting a dance was considered an opportunity. Those wealthy scions who ca here probably knew about it, which is why they convened an evening party to seize this opportunity.
Su Yang didn’t know exactly how this opportunity ca about, so he thought of hosting an even better party himself. He wanted to take personal control of this event to find out what exactly was going on and how one could get in touch with the school’s higher-ups.
The more secretive the school, the more Su Yang wanted to uncover the situation here. Therefore, he was determined to outdo those people at the evening party, at all costs.
As for surpassing those people, it wasn’t difficult. Su Yang had the backing of both Pingnan and Pingbei Provinces, as well as the Southern Six Provinces. In terms of wealth and influence, who could compare to him?
Su Yang fell silent for a while, then took out his cell phone to send a ssage to Fatty, instructing him to arrange everything before dawn. As for the rest, Su Yang didn’t bother, for Fatty was quite adept at handling such matters.
Late at night, when everyone else was asleep, Su Yang quietly made his way alone to the dormitory building.
In the afternoon, he had sensed an unusual aura in a corner behind building number seven. He hadn’t investigated it closely during the day, but now he had co to check it out in person.
Approaching the vicinity, Su Yang sensed that there were no people around and extended his Divine Sense to probe the area.
Soon, Su Yang picked up on that aura again. He carefully sensed the direction of the aura and found that it was actually seeping downwards from the ground.
Startled, Su Yang took another look around to make sure no one was nearby. Then he quietly took out the Nine Cold Jade Sword and began to dig into the ground.
Su Yang’s movents were very subtle, making no sound at all, yet his speed was very fast. Quickly, he dug a hole more than three ters deep. However, at this point, the Nine Cold Jade Sword could no longer dig further down; it seed that a powerful force was protecting the area beneath, and even the power of the Nine Cold Jade Sword couldn’t break through this force.
With puzzlent, Su Yang entered the hole. Once inside, he could distinctly feel that force. It was emanating from the hole, but since the hole couldn’t be dug any further, he couldn’t determine what the force was.
He tried to poke it with the Nine Cold Jade Sword but was repelled by a gentle force, unable to pierce through it.
