30: Chapter 30 The Inner Circle of Aristocratic Sons

Sun Ning had originally planned to try his luck at the Ministry of Education in the afternoon.

He was completely clueless about the Ministry of Education and didn't know anyone there, so he would have to go through the formal channels to submit his materials.

However, thinking about how even deputy provincial-level officials were just stepping stones in that ministry compound, he, a mere Township Head, probably wouldn't even be able to get through the front gate.

Later, he decisively gave up on that idea.

In fact, the main reason was that he had already over-fulfilled his mission regarding poverty alleviation.

He only needed to catch up with that friend from the Central Government's Communist Youth League that evening, and he could take the money back to Mishui Township.

He no longer had the motivation to pursue that slim chance.

That evening, Sun Ning and Shang Rou arrived at a high-end private club in the capital, which they had agreed upon with that friend from the Communist Youth League.

This club was membership-only and was said to be the property of some scion of a prominent family.

It seemed that merchants coming to the capital to secure official approvals had to top up their memberships with hundreds of thousands or millions just to earn a smile from the young masters.

When Sun Ning and Shang Rou arrived at the Jianjia Hall of the club, a few people had already gathered in small groups.

When that crazy woman had originally set the location here, Sun Ning had a premonition that many young masters and young ladies would appear.

Now, seeing this scene, he knew his intuition had been correct.

Seeing the people in the private room, Shang Rou hurriedly ran over and said happily, "Xue'er, long time no see, I've missed you to death."

This was the friend Sun Ning was looking for today, and also Shang Rou's best friend, Zhao Xue, a deputy division-level cadre at the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League.

Zhao Xue was a daughter of a prominent capital family, and her family had always been deeply entrenched in critical departments.

He had met this elder sister through Shang Rou as well.

Later, after chatting more, they found their personalities clicked and became friends.

As far as Sun Ning knew, this young lady didn't want to follow in her father's footsteps; she just liked to eat, drink, have fun, and live freely.

So, she held a nominal position at the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and just coasted along.

Just like that, this young heiress hadn't played well, nor had she done her job well.

However, this devil-may-care personality gradually made her a famous leader in this circle.

After the two women had affectionately chatted for a while, Zhao Xue seemed to only then belatedly notice Sun Ning's arrival.

"Yo, Xiao Ningzi, aren't you going to greet your big sister when you see her?"

Seeing this, Sun Ning could only smile helplessly and stepped forward to greet her.

It was truly because this elder sister was a madwoman.

Shang Rou only became crazy after becoming a young married woman, whereas this one had always been this crazy.

Especially after this elder sister once got drunk and insisted on grabbing Sun Ning's little bird.

She said that it was rare to meet such a handsome little brother, and it would be a pity not to flick his little bird a few times.

Since then, Sun Ning had developed a phobia of Zhao Xue; whenever they were together, Sun Ning strictly forbade Zhao Xue from touching alcohol.

"I heard you kid went to the countryside? Which wire in your brain snapped this time? Committing such a big mistake, aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Great!

To her, everything outside the capital was the countryside.

This wasn't because she was arrogant or looked down on rural areas and farmers; her grandfather was a peasant, and since she was the closest to the old man, how could she look down on farmers?

This was just a term she used based on being within the system; even a major international metropolis like Shanghai was still the countryside in her mind.

This wasn't just her view alone, but the shared opinion of the scions of the capital's prominent families.

The reason their circle was so exclusionary was that everyone held this kind of mindset.

This was also the first time Sun Ning had been invited by Zhao Xue to enter their little group.

In fact, after Sun Ning graduated, Zhao Xue had once invited Sun Ning to hang out at the club, but Shang Rou had refused.

According to Shang Rou's thinking, it was better for Sun Ning to focus on academics with her grandfather and there was no need to associate with these people.

This time, Sun Ning arranged to meet Zhao Xue here, and it couldn't be said that Shang Rou wasn't involved.

Shang Rou had truly racked her brains for Sun Ning's sake.

"Serving the people, you know, doesn't distinguish between high and low status."

Zhao Xue was very dissatisfied with Sun Ning's answer and directly stepped forward, clamping his neck with her arm.

This action itself was nothing, just friends playing around.

The key was, Zhao Xue was the tall and sturdy type, and she was incredibly voluptuous and curvaceous.

Her most eye-catching feature was much more magnificent and spectacular than Shang Rou's.

It could be completely described by the term 'E-cup accessibility'.

So, Sun Ning's face was pressed directly against that towering asset.

And Zhao Xue, in order to make Sun Ning beg for mercy, kept applying pressure.

Causing Sun Ning to be buried deep in her flesh, nearly unable to breathe.

Both of them were stubborn; one was forcefully hugging his neck to make him beg for mercy.

The other, even if he were to be suffocated, would never beg for mercy.

Unfortunately, before Sun Ning could be suffocated, he was rescued from this dire situation by Shang Rou.

Before he could even stand steady, he felt a sharp pain in his waist.

It seemed a vinegar jar was about to tip over on that side.

Shang Rou said fiercely, "How was it, comfortable? Do you want to do it again? I can ask Xue'er for you."

She didn't mince her words at all, causing the slow-to-react Zhao Xue to finally realize what was happening.

Her face instantly flushed red.

The playful banter between the three of them hadn't taken note of the bystanders present.

And this sudden, uncharacteristic behavior from Zhao Xue made all her friends drop their jaws.

Zhao Xue had always been known in this circle for being bold, magnanimous, and righteous.

Her friends were spread throughout the entire capital.

However, never had a man been able to get close to her.

Instead, she was always very intimate with various beautiful women.

The rumor that Zhao Xue didn't like men had once swept through the entire circle.

Today's incident really made everyone's glasses fall off in shock.

Just then, a rather burly, muscular man in the room said abruptly, "Xiao Xue, when did you get a boyfriend? Only letting us brothers meet him today?"

His words themselves were nothing.

But it was Sun Ning who suffered.

Now, it wasn't just one side of his waist that hurt, but both sides of his soft flesh felt the pain.

Zhao Xue said coyly at this moment, "What are you saying? This is my little brother."

"A 'little brother' in the romantic sense, right!"

"Hahaha..."

Seeing this situation, Zhao Xue knew she couldn't explain it clearly, so she stopped arguing.

Instead, she led Sun Ning over and introduced him, "This one here is my little brother, the closing disciple of Elder Shang of Yanjing University."

"Little brother, this protein-packed muscle man is the second young master of Uncle Zhao from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Zhao Yang."

Sun Ning's heart stirred, and he searched his brain for a moment.

There was only one leader surnamed Zhao at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and that was Minister Zhao Huanbin.

However, Sun Ning didn't show it on his face and reached out his hand, saying, "Hello, Second Brother Zhao!"

After the two shook hands, Sun Ning wanted to pull his hand away, but he didn't expect a tremendous force to come from the other side.

Great, the first show of force for the day had arrived.

However, this tremendous force felt like an itch to Sun Ning.

He waited a few seconds, and seeing there was no sustained force, he gave a wicked smile.

He also quietly increased his own strength.

"Ah, pain, pain, let go."

These people were just like that; they looked down on everyone and had their own pride.

But if you could defeat them in the area they were most proud of, then they would slowly be won over by you.

Seeing Sun Ning let go, Zhao Yang said indignantly, "You kid, you want to pick our most beautiful flower without paying any price?"

He shook his aching hand, was silent for a moment, and said, "Sigh, I admit defeat. You kid have the strength. Just call me Brother Yang from now on; I can't afford the title of 'Second Brother'."
