...

Seeing Xiao Gu slam the table and lose his temper, Qin Fang, who had always been quite composed, looked very displeased.

It wasn't that he minded not having a private room for the hot springs, but Xiao Gu's behavior was simply too egregious. The sense of entitlement often seen in the children of officials made him very uncomfortable.

"Xiao Gu, don't make things difficult for others..."

Since they all had come together, Qin Fang couldn't completely disregard saving face, so he spoke with a bit more tact.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Young Master Qin!"

Upon hearing Qin Fang's voice, Xiao Gu trembled, his face turning somewhat awkward as he quickly apologized to Qin Fang. He was genuinely afraid of Qin Fang, so whenever he encountered him, he rarely spoke. Now, with just one remark from Qin Fang, he was frightened into apologizing.

"You, little rascal... apologizing to me for what?!"

Qin Fang, however, laughed and gently patted Xiao Gu on the shoulder. Even though he disapproved of Xiao Gu's conduct, Qin Fang treated him the nicest.

Why, you ask?

It's because out of Xiao Tang and the three others, only Xiao Gu had Justice Points, while Xiao Tang and Xiao Liang both had Evil Points. Even though the values weren't very high, they clearly showed that he wasn't a bad person.

"I'm sorry for being too aggressive just now... but my point still stands, since your guests haven't arrived yet and we are gold card members, we should have priority in using the facilities!"

Xiao Gu knew to correct his fault and immediately said to the female attendant, who he had scared nearly to tears. His tone might have softened, but his message hadn't changed in the slightest.

"I... I can't make that decision!"

The attendant hesitated, clearly not yet recovered from the earlier encounter. After a while, she managed to squeak out her response, her gaze pleadingly turning towards Qin Fang.

She was astute and, upon seeing the four men with Qin Fang, realized that he was the leader, the one able to keep Xiao Gu in check.

Just then, several more young men entered from outside, one of whom looked familiar to Qin Fang.

Who was it?

It was Brother Junhao, who had previously been humiliated by Qin Fang and had fled in embarrassment.

However, unlike before when he had appeared arrogant and superior, he now looked more like a lackey, alongside two others with similarly ingratiating expressions, all fawning over the young man walking at the front.

"Young Master Feng, the Number Seven Hot Spring Pool is the best at the Spring Clubhouse, and it's barely suitable for your use..."

Brother Junhao wasn't acting nearly as cocky as he had been with Qin Fang before; rather, he was like a fawning dog, busily buttering up the Young Master Feng walking in front.

The Number Seven Hot Spring Pool, the only one still available, was clearly reserved by these gentlemen.

"Is it him?"

The matter at the forefront of Xiao Tang and the others' minds wasn't this, but as they looked at the young man being surrounded, their expressions subtly shifted, almost instinctively muttering a sentence.

"Who is he?"

Qin Fang hadn't seen this person before and, noticing the change on the faces of Xiao Tang and the others, realized this person must have a significant status, so he casually asked.

"Feng Nan of Haijiang Group..."

Xiao Tang quietly explained to Qin Fang, revealing the young man's identity.

"Haijiang Group... so it's him!"

Upon hearing the name, Qin Fang immediately thought of someone. Even though he hadn't met the person, he had heard of his exploits, well-known among Ninghai's upper-class young masters.

Jiangnan Province is an economically powerful province in the east of Long Country, with its economy ranking at the top nationally. The Jiangnan region, in particular, has an exceptionally developed economy and has seen the emergence of many incredibly powerful groups. Some are even ranked among the top nationally, like Chen Weilian's Hanhai Group and the Haijiang Group of Feng Nan's family.

Haijiang Group is a local enterprise in Ninghai that started with home appliance retail and has grown tremendously, easily ranking within the top five nationwide. Since then, the group's industries have diversified into real estate, tourism, hotels, and much more, each sector still considered a large enterprise on its own.

The founder of Haijiang Group, Feng Yuanzheng, was also a figure of considerable legend, having grown his assets to tens of billions from scratch in just twenty years. As a result, the Feng family had become one of the great financial dynasties in Ninghai, and even throughout Jiangnan Province and the Yangtze River Delta region.

It was said that one year in the Forbes 100 Richest People in China list, there were more than ten individuals from the Feng family and Haijiang Group alone, which spoke volumes about the Feng family's wealth.

This year, Feng Yuanzheng was just over fifty years old, with only one son and two daughters. Both of his daughters were married, and his only son, Feng Nan before Qin Fang, was the youngest in the family, merely twenty-eight years old.

With a net worth in the hundreds of billions, Old Feng's daughters received only a small share of company shares. The majority of the inheritance was expected to fall into the hands of Feng Nan, making him arguably the most eligible bachelor in Ninghai.

Tang Cheng, Li Rui, and Ning Weiqiang were indeed top young masters in Jiangnan Province with significant powers at their disposal, but financially, they simply could not compare to Feng Nan.

Even Li Rui, who controlled Ninghai's underground forces, didn't stand a chance...

Therefore, Feng Nan enjoyed a status among the young masters that virtually rivaled that of Tang Cheng and Li Rui. Although he wasn't involved in officialdom, the average second-generation official really couldn't afford to mess with such a wealthy young bachelor.

No wonder Xiao Tang and his two companions looked so upset...

Competing with Feng Nan for a hot spring pool?

They simply didn't have the guts. Even if they didn't have much to do with Feng Nan, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

Everyone knew that Old Feng was notoriously protective of his offspring, especially his son Feng Nan, being extremely indulgent towards him since he was his only heir.

Being extremely wealthy, Old Feng had very good relationships with top government officials, often being invited to participate in commercial activities and investment events by provincial leaders.

Having such relationships, a few words whispered to the provincial leaders could spell minor trouble for their elders.

Xiao Tang and his peers were well aware of this and naturally didn't dare to touch the matter lightly.

They couldn't afford to offend Feng Nan, and they couldn't afford to provoke Qin Fang either. This left all three in a difficult position.

Compared to Feng Nan, Qin Fang was somewhat more approachable, so the three of them could only look at Qin Fang with pitiful eyes, hoping for his understanding.

"Heh, since there's no pool available anymore, let's just forget it..."

Qin Fang did not really care about this matter. Since the pool was already taken, and even the best one was reserved first by someone else, they were late to begin with, so it wasn't necessary to blame Xiao Tang and his friends.

Moreover, the one who wanted to use the hot spring pool was Feng Nan, the most eligible bachelor in Ninghai...

Feng Nan was someone that Ning Weiqiang had specifically mentioned to Qin Fang, advising him to pay extra attention, as Feng Nan's problematic behavior was indeed very displeasing.

But Feng Nan was spoiled from a young age. By the time he started to grow wiser, Old Feng's net worth was already significant. And as Haijiang Group grew stronger, Old Feng's wealth and temper grew accordingly, but his measure of heart became smaller... Being hated by such a person was definitely not a good thing.

It was just that while one does not intend to harm the tiger, the tiger is predisposed to harm humans.

While Qin Fang was talking with Xiao Tang and the other two, Brother Junhao had already noticed Qin Fang. He also recognized Xiao Tang and the other two second-generation officials. Seeing the way they spoke, clearly deferring to Qin Fang, he became even more convinced that Qin Fang was intentionally trying to embarrass him.

Although Brother Junhao didn't think he could take revenge himself, the person beside him certainly could. His eyes flickered, and he immediately spoke to Feng Nan, Young Master Feng, "Young Master Feng, that's the guy I was telling you about... No one knows what he's about! He's pretty brazen... It seems like Miss Chu Chu really likes him..."

The actual identity of Ding Chuchu was not widely known, at least not to the three second-generation officials Xiao Tang and his companions, who until now weren't clear about it, assuming she was Qin Fang's girlfriend.

Brother Junhao naturally didn't know either, but he was aware that Young Master Feng had been utterly smitten by Ding Chuchu upon seeing her, mentioning her several times with great interest. It was clear that he had taken a fancy to Ding Chuchu.

With a major heir like him taking an interest, Brother Junhao knew that he stood no chance. At best, if Young Master Feng got his way, his followers could hope for a share of the spoils, a very favorable turn of events.

However, first, he needed to deal with Qin Fang, who had caused him such embarrassment...

So what if Qin Fang's car was parked in the number one parking area? Feng Nan, the premier bachelor of Ninghai, had a status almost on par with Tang Cheng, Li Rui, and Ning Weiqiang, the elite young masters of Jiangnan Province. Clearly, Qin Fang was not one of these nobles, and in his view, Qin Fang certainly couldn't stand up to Feng Nan. Thus, he began to instigate the situation from the sidelines.

And when he had been embarrassed in front of Qin Fang earlier, Young Master Feng and the other two followers had already heard about it, laughing at him mercilessly before coming over.

It was an incident that had shamed Brother Junhao deeply, one he wished not to recall, but the presence of Qin Fang at this inopportune moment gave him an opportunity to take advantage...

"Him? Never seen him... Have either of you seen him?"

Feng Nan was filthy rich and thus held in high esteem; even in Elite Salon and Bihai Pavilion, he was a top-tier member, let alone at Spring Clubhouse. Almost as soon as he set foot inside, the manager of Spring Clubhouse would immediately present him with the highest level platinum VIP card.

With such high status, he naturally knew many influential people. Nearly everyone with a name in the Ninghai circle had crossed his path, but he barely had any recollection of the Qin Fang before him... Naturally, he regarded him with utter disregard!
