The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me Chapter 177 - 176: Fair-Weather Friends

Bai Yifan, at Tang Yung's request, especially made a trip back to the provincial capital. He rallied his friends and gathered a group of officials together. He spent hundreds of thousands to book a venue. Most of these people were second-generation officials from the provincial capital, including the son of a certain Standing Deputy Secretary, Liu Jun, and several young masters from the organizational departnt bigwigs.

"Mr. Bai, what's the occasion for gathering everyone?" Liu Jun, who is twenty-five this year, owns his own businesses in the provincial capital, including several real estate properties. He has more money than he can spend. However, this guy is lascivious, a typical playboy of the provincial capital, who almost changes girlfriends every few days. It's like the saying goes, he's the groom every night, and there are mothers-in-law all over the world.

"Yeah, Mr. Bai, you're being so generous today, could it be that there's sothing on your mind?" Another young master joked, "Just tell us, we'll help as much as we can."

"It's not a big deal," Bai Yifan smiled and said, "A friend in Jiangbei City accidentally injured a police officer, and the police there have tead up to charge him with a cri. The situation has blown up a bit, and I'd like to ask you all for help."

Wow…

The crowd gasped in shock, Liu Jun quipped, "Hey, how unlucky can this guy be? The police are ganging up to go after him?"

"Brother Bai, when did you make friends with such a thug?" another young master asked.

Bai Yifan, looking distressed, said, "Guys, let's not ask any more, can you help with this favor or not?"

"How hard could it be?" Liu Jun laughed, "I'll just give my old man a call later, and if that doesn't work, I'll let Uncle Sun from the Ministry of Public Security know. I thought it was so big deal that warranted Mr. Bai to book such a venue."

"This is one, to let the brothers gather, and secondly, isn't it also a request for your help?" Bai Yifan smiled and said, "Feel free to spend today, although I don't have as much money as Liu Jun, but still, I got enough to host my brothers."

"Haha…" Everyone burst into laughter.

Soon, a few pretty, tall student girls arrived. Liu Jun and his friends took several beauties upstairs. This venue is not ordinary; it's said to be owned by a bigwig's son from the central governnt, and it's also associated with a renowned place in Beijing. The girls here are all top-notch, definitely not sothing ordinary folks can match. Bai Yifan also visited occasionally, though he doesn't co as often as Liu Jun. That guy, despite changing girlfriends daily, always hangs out in this dodgy place, pouring hundreds of thousands every month.

Once you're here, you just have to go with the flow. Otherwise, others will look down on you. Or they might tease you about being 'impotent'.

Social obligations really are hard to define. While so n can hold themselves, so certainly can't.

There might not be much else Bai Yifan can do. If he really asked his father, it might not be as effective as asking these brothers. His father, although a deputy secretary of the Provincial Committee, only oversees the cultural sector. Everyone knows that the cultural sector is rely a ceremonial position without real power. Even if he steps in, it's doubtful if Song Ming would give him any face. But if Liu Jun's father steps in, it would be a different story. As a Standing Deputy Secretary, he holds substantial influence; Song Ming couldn't dismiss it.

However, what disappointed Bai Yifan was that for several days, Liu Jun and the others didn't send any ssages or give any hints.

In the end, frustrated, Bai Yifan had no choice but to personally call each of them. The responses he received were nothing more than perfunctory excuses.

Bang…

Bai Yifan slamd the phone he was holding, cursing, "Damn it, a bunch of useless jerks, I wasted so much money on you."

Having money but no power. Perhaps that's what infuriated Bai Yifan the most. These kinds of issues probably can't be solved just by giving money.

Bai Yifan lay in his room, thinking for a long ti. Eventually, he decided to speak to his father.

Reaching the position of a regular senior official was already the highest position Bai Yifan's father could achieve. Moreover, he was planning to retire from this position. Bai Yifan's father had been an official his entire life and was very upright. The only irregular thing he had ever done was to pull so strings for his own son.
