Chapter 434 Discussing a Matter
"There will be a banquet tonight, specifically to welcome Zhang Dehao's takeover of the Xinghai Clubhouse," said Blood Eagle.
Qin Jiang smiled, "Great, let's go over tonight and give him our heartfelt congratulations."
Seven in the evening.
Xinghai Clubhouse.
The property covered a vast area, including a golf course, an archery range, a swimming pool… Fully equipped with everything you could imagine, the opulence was undeniable.
It's said that the Ling Family spent tens of billions to build this clubhouse.
In it, the central building of the Xinghai Clubhouse alone occupied tens of thousands of square meters.
Five floors in total.
The first floor served as a dining and entertainment area for guests, while the second through fourth floors housed large casinos with every type of game imaginable; only the fifth floor was used for offices.
The interior decoration was extremely luxurious, and many of Zhonghai's elite would come here to indulge in their hobbies whenever they had the time. Furthermore, people from other places also came here because of its reputation.
This indicated just how significant the Xinghai Clubhouse was.
Initially, in order to please Qingmen, Ling Xiangyang had given away the Xinghai Clubhouse as if slicing off a piece of the Ling Family's property.
Come nightfall, the place was bustling with people, a lively scene indeed.
The individuals permitted into the Xinghai Clubhouse were mostly wealthy tycoons, casually betting millions in chips, otherwise, they'd feel out of place in such a setting.
Ling Qingxue, accompanied by an assistant, entered the Xinghai Clubhouse.
At that moment, the first floor of the Xinghai Clubhouse was filled with many people, a clinking of glasses and lively conversations everywhere.
"Chairman Zhang, congratulations! Congratulations!"
"Chairman Zhang, I toast to you. I hope for more of your care in the future!"
In the face of the flattery from those present, Zhang Dehao and his son wore broad smiles, basking in pleasure.
Zhang Dehao raised his glass with a smile, gesturing to everyone present, "Thank you all for gracing this event, and I wish you all a delightful evening!"
As soon as Zhang Dehao spoke, the crowd cheered loudly, toasting and drinking merrily!
Some who were unfamiliar with Zhang Dehao whispered on the side, "What's the background of this new chairman, I've never heard of him before?"
A man spoke in a hushed tone, "You don't know? Before this, Chairman Zhang was the Vice Hall Master of the Zhonghai Dragon Hall, but now he's switched his allegiance to Qingmen."
Upon learning Zhang Dehao's identity, many people were visibly surprised, "No way! The Vice Hall Master of the Zhonghai Dragon Hall?!"
"No wonder he's such an impressive figure. It's not surprising that Qingmen gave him the Xinghai Clubhouse immediately after he switched sides."
"Such a figure can thrive anywhere they go. Truly remarkable. It looks like we need to make a good impression on this big shot in the future."
Many people discussed quietly among themselves, treating Zhang Dehao with increased respect.
Both Zhang Dehao and Zhang Yun couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear upon seeing the scene, feeling immensely satisfied with the reverence they were receiving.

Zhang Yun said with a smile, "You're wise indeed, to have left the Dragon Hall so decisively and joined Qingmen—and even secured such a great asset. We're going to make a fortune here."
Stroking his beard, Zhang Dehao spoke, "Yun'er, it's all about vision."
"No matter the situation, always think of your exit strategy, never hang yourself on one tree."
"After all, our rise to this point, we owe it to Qin Jiang for giving us a push."
"I don't know what kind of damn luck Qin Jiang had to become Hall Master and secure his position so quickly."
Zhang Yun, who was quite discontent with Qin Jiang, said coldly, "Without us, it's Dragon Hall's loss!"
"Yun'er, those are all things of the past, let's not talk about that..."
Before Zhang Dehao could finish, a cold voice interjected, "Chairman Zhang, hello."
Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Dehao and Zhang Yun turned their heads at the same time only to see a figure in a black dress standing before them.
The instant he saw Ling Qingxue, Zhang Yun's eyes lit up, his gaze unabashedly roving over her, filled with unabashed greed.
Ling Qingxue introduced herself, "I'm Ling Qingxue, representing the Ling Family."
"Oh, it's Miss Ling," Zhang Dehao said, regaining his smile. "I remember now, the Xinghai Clubhouse wouldn't have reached its current success without your family's contributions."
"It's really an honor that you could attend this event."
Ling Qingxue smiled and said, "Chairman Zhang, I've come here today because there's a matter I'd like to discuss with you. Are you available now?"
Zhang Dehao hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Yes, that's fine."
Then, Zhang Dehao led the way to a relatively quiet area.
He comfortably sat down on the sofa, legs crossed, lighting a cigar and began to smoke leisurely.
Puffing smoke clouds contentedly.
He went straight to the point, "Miss Ling, whatever your business, just say it."
Ling Qingxue, poised and calm, took a seat on the sofa opposite him, "Chairman Zhang, as you know, the Xinghai Clubhouse was once the property of the Ling Family, until my older brother transferred it to Qingmen not long ago."
Zhang Dehao, a sly old fox, immediately realized Ling Qingxue's purpose as soon as she spoke.
Furrowing his brows slightly, he said in a somber tone, "Miss Ling, you wouldn't happen to be here to reclaim the Xinghai Clubhouse, would you?"
