Then Qi Wenbin asked the driver to prepare the car and drove directly with Qi Gege in the direction of Xiyuan. Qi Wenbin saw that the direction Qi Gege was pointing turned out to be the west of the Forbidden City in the capital. In ancient times, this was the residence of noble ministers. Even the courtyard of the Qi family was to the east. , not everyone can own this courtyard house in the west.

The west noble in the capital's "East is rich and west is noble" refers to this place, so Qi Wenbin asked, "Why haven't I heard of any clubs here? Sister, you were deceived, right?"

"Brother, just come with me. I guarantee your trip will be worthwhile." Chigge showed off.

The brother and sister got off the car at the gate of Xiyuan. Qi Wenbin looked up and saw the word "Xiyuan" on the door plaque and knew it was written by a famous artist. The service staff recognized Qi Gege as soon as he entered the door. This is the basic skill of Xiyuan waiters. Since the private room in the Qianyuan today had been booked a week in advance, Qi Gege booked an ordinary private room in the Qianyuan.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Qi Wenbin and Qi Gege walked through the long veranda towards the Qianyuan. Even though Qi Wenbin had seen many clubs and high-end restaurants, he couldn't help but nod at the nobility and luxury of Xiyuan. Qi Wenbin occasionally saw a few business partners on the way. Especially after entering the Qianyuan, he was shocked by the scenery in front of him. The century-old ginkgo tree in the center of the Qianyuan swayed with a unique green color, and the koi in the pond occasionally popped up to play. The unique chirping of cicadas in summer combined with the high-rise buildings in the garden makes this place full of low-key luxury.

Each private room is filled with people with status. There is no bustle of drinking and noisy. People on the table sometimes whisper and sometimes smile. In short, everyone keeps their voices within a certain range for fear of disturbing them. The quietness in the yard.

"How's it going, brother, is it okay here?" Chigge said.

"This is a good place! Very good! You can choose this place when discussing business in the future. It's very noble." Qi Wenbin nodded.

"Of course." Qi Gege pretended to tell Qi Wenbin the history of Xiyuan. The two of them were led by the waiter to the private room. Although it was on the first floor, they could see the view of the ginkgo tree when they opened the window.

After the two sat down, Qi Wenbin smiled and said, "Where did you hear this? I'm afraid the boss here didn't make it up, right?"

"This is really not a fabrication. I heard that the old man of the Ma family said it when he came over for dinner." Chigge said.

"The old man of the Ma family has been here too?" Qi Wenbin was obviously a little surprised. He didn't quite understand why a club would let the old man of the Ma family condescend to come here to support him.

"Well, I came here on the opening day." Chigge said casually.

"Oh." Qi Wenbin rolled his eyes and murmured, "This is interesting."

Soon some of the signature dishes ordered by Qi Gege were served. Qi Wenbin took a taste and it was indeed worthy of a state banquet. At this time, the melodious sound of guzheng sounded in the yard. I saw a girl in white sitting quietly under the ginkgo tree and playing the guzheng. The ethereal sound of the guzheng reminded me of the orchid in the valley, and the ancient sound seemed to be riding the wind. On the occasion of the colorful clouds, everyone in the yard They all stopped talking and quietly admired the beautiful scenery in the painting.

After the song was played, the lingering sound lingered, bursts of applause rang out in the courtyard, and some private rooms even gave tips.

"How's it going, brother, I'm right, right?" Qi Gege asked for credit.

"You have a good sense this time." Qi Wenbin nodded and continued, "Didn't you say you wanted to introduce me to the boss here?"

"The boss here's surname is Zhuang, and she's a woman, but she's not the real boss here. Just wait, I'll go ask." After saying that, Siege got up and left the private room and walked straight towards the inner courtyard. The entrance of the hospital was stopped by security guards.

"I want to see Ye Fang, just tell her that Qi Gege is here." Qi Gege said loudly.

Seeing Qi Gege's appearance, the security guard didn't dare to neglect him and quickly contacted Su Long. At this time, Ye Fang and Wang Junhe were having dinner in the guest room in the inner courtyard. The two were chatting about the future development of Junhe Insurance. At this time, Ye Fang received a notification from Su Long that Qi Gege wanted to see him.

Ye Fang frowned as soon as he heard the name Siegege. Not seeing him would be more troublesome than seeing him. Ye Fang asked Wang Jun and himself to eat first while he went out to take a look.

As soon as Ye Fang walked out of the inner courtyard, he saw Qi Gege. Qi Gege was very happy to see Ye Fang. He was about to rush over but was stopped by Ye Fang.

"Aren't you happy to see me?" Qi Gege asked familiarly.

"It seems that I can't talk about being happy, but I am a little worried." Ye Fang saw that Qi Gege was about to change his face and said quickly, "I was joking, what do you want from me?"

"My eldest brother and I are here for dinner. I want to introduce him to you. How do you like it? Can you go?" Qi Gege thought to himself that he would move out to his eldest brother Qi Wenbin. Ye Fang should be happy to show that he wants to get acquainted with him. But the result disappointed Qi Gege. Ye Fang did not show any enthusiasm, but said directly, "I'm afraid not today. There are guests in my yard. I will definitely meet your brother next time if I have a chance."

"My eldest brother is not always available, and you can't just see him when you want." Qie Gege was a little anxious.

"My time is also precious. I don't have time to meet everyone. I'll give it a chance next time. Okay?" After saying this, Ye Fang turned around and was about to leave. Then Ye Fang stopped and looked back at Qigege. He glanced at me and said, "If possible, don't mention me to your elder brother for the time being."

Ye Fang ignored Chigege's murderous look and returned to the inner courtyard. He was so angry that Chigege ducked and said, "Ye Fang, just wait for me."

Qi Wenbin saw that Qi Gege looked unhappy and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"It's nothing. I wanted to introduce you to the owner of this club, but...it turned out that he wasn't in the garden." Chigge sighed and sat down.

"I'm here to eat, and I don't have to see him. Let's talk about it next time when we have a chance." Qi Wenbin's good mood tonight was obviously not disturbed in any way, and he was still enjoying the guzheng performance in the yard with great interest.

"That's all it can do." Siegge said.

The inner courtyard of Xiyuan.

"Qi Wenbin is here?" Wang Junhe was excited when he heard the name Qi Wenbin.

"Well, with his sister, I didn't go over to see him." Ye Fang said.

"Well, it's better to see less of them now. It's best if the well water doesn't interfere with the river water. Then does he know that this garden belongs to you?" Wang Junhe said.

"I don't know yet, but sooner or later we have to know how long we can keep this secret." Ye Fang said.

Just as Ye Fang and Wang Junhe were chatting, Qi Wenbin and Qi Gege finished their meal and walked out of the Xiyuan. Qi Wenbin said to Qi Gege, "Gege, can their members still do it?"

"I heard that it is no longer available, but if you want to come, use my card. I will change the information to yours later." After saying that, Qi Gege handed the Xiyuan membership card to Qi Wenbin, and at the same time emphasized that every year The membership fee is 100 million.

"One million?! So expensive!" Qi Wenbin said in surprise.
