Chapter 104
“What do you mean? You were the one who invited me, and now you say I’m blacklisted? Don’t mess with me! Do you know who my husband is?” Han Li put her hands on her hips and raged at the staff in earnest.
“Stop yelling. Maybe it was just a system error. Try mine.” Liu Xuecheng frowned and handed over his own invitation card, annoyed. Internally, he cursed Manager Wang for humiliating his wife like this and planned to reprimand him later.
Beep beep beep!
A deafening siren started blaring as Liu Xuecheng’s invitation card resulted in a big ‘X’, making his face fall instantly. Around them, the crowd started gossiping. Everyone thought these two were some sort of VIP, but it turned out they were just hustlers who tried to swagger in with fake invitation cards. Had they no brains?
“Wh-What’s going on?” His face was now as dark as the night, and he started raging as well, “There must be something wrong with your machines. Get me Manager Wang! I want to speak to him personally.”
The security officers sneered. As far as they were concerned, these two were the hustlers trying to scam their way in. “I’m sorry, but you’re on the blacklist so you’re not welcome here. Please leave.” Immediately, the security officers started shoving the couple even while they fought back, to the point that both of them were pushed to the ground and covered in dust. It was a humiliating sight.
Liu Xuecheng nearly busted a lung with pent up anger and yelled, still shaking, “This is outrageous! You’re all being outrageous!” He was the President of the Cultural Center, a deputy office-level
manager who was personally invited to perform a check-in! Even the general manager of Happy Valley would be forced to treat him well, and now he was on the blacklist? And getting booted by lowly security officers? Oh, the humiliation.
“I told you. Know your place before you start making fun of others.” Chu Feng strode past the couple. “Mocking me when you yourself don’t have the right to enter. Wouldn’t that be the pot calling the kettle black?” Yun Muqing covered her smile with a hand, thoroughly satisfied by the revenge she had gotten.
Han Li was just about ready to explode as she pointed at Chu Feng and yelled, “What are you bragging about? Let’s see a peasant like you try to get in when even I couldn’t! Who do you think you are?” Liu Xuecheng snorted in agreement and searched for a way to contact the general manager of Happy Valley, planning to interrogate him later on. Chu Feng simply ignored them and handed over his ID card. Since all invited guests were registered digitally, the invitation card itself wasn’t necessary for verification and because of this, the staff didn’t make a fuss as they scanned his ID.
Immediately, the machine let out a series of clear beeps, and the staff were shocked. On the display screen, a gold star appeared underneath Chu Feng’s name. More stars started to appear until there were five stars, and they combined to become a dazzling diamond. The staff stood bolt upright in unison when they saw this. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Thinking Chu Feng was getting booted the same way she did, Han Li started laughing maniacally. “See, you’re on the blacklist too! I told you a piece of trash like you—”
Before she could finish, every staff member present rushed over as their staff head bowed down to Chu Feng. “Welcome to Happy Valley, our esteemed diamond-tier guest!” Following that, all the staff bowed down in unison and repeated, “Welcome to Happy Valley!”
Han Li became dumbfounded. Her eyes widened, and her body stiffened like a stone statue’s. Liu Xuecheng also became wide-eyed, whereas Yun Muqing, Duo Duo, and Xiao Hu were speechless as they couldn’t believe their eyes. The crowd fell into stunned silence.
Like most high-end venues, Happy Valley had its own membership system that identified Happy Valley’s most esteemed customers and offered countless benefits and privileges to match. Only customers who spent a hundred thousand annually were eligible to become one-star members, whereas the expenditure required for a two-star membership was two hundred thousand and so on. However, the eligibility criteria for the ultimate diamond-tier was not based on expenditure but on the discretion of Heather herself, the CEO of Happy Valley.
These diamond-tier customers were either impossibly wealthy or incredibly powerful, on par with the world’s trillionaires. That was why there were less than a hundred diamond-tier Happy Valley members globally, and why the staff had always thought they were little more than a myth. But now that they had actually met a diamond-tier member in person, how could they not become overwhelmed and nervous?
