Chapter 71

"Guangtai Building? Why here?" Looking at the building in front of him, He Dong's face showed a strange expression. He Dong had not expected He Xi and Wang Xuewu to bring him here.

"After the boss of Guangtai Group had an incident, this place was acquired, and it's no longer called Guangtai Building but Jincheng Building," Wang Xuewu, who seemed very familiar with the place, explained to He Dong.

"Bro, Brother Wu, don't care whether it's Guangtai Building or Jincheng Building. Let's hurry up and go in, or the performance will be over!" He Xi urged impatiently from the side.

"What performance has you so eager?" He Dong asked He Xi with a hint of amusement.

"Bro, you'll see in a bit!" He Xi said mysteriously.

"Xiao Wu, what have you and Xiao Xi been up to lately? I feel like Xiao Xi has been corrupted by you!" He Dong, who had no idea what the two had been doing all summer, asked.

"Brother Dong, you're wrong! I'm more wronged than Dou'e!" Wang Xuewu shouted, his face full of distress.

"Don't cry to me. Xiao Xi used to be such a well-behaved child. After hanging out with you for two months, look at him now. Does he even look like a high school student?" Although He Dong spoke sternly, the corners of his mouth were curved upward, and those who knew him well knew he was joking.

In fact, over the past two months, He Xi's personality had changed significantly, but these changes were what He Dong wanted to see. The old He Xi was rather dull and even a bit inferior, but now he was much more lively and confident, with a gleam of confidence in his eyes.

"Brother Dong, don't let Mom hear this. If she does, I'll be in trouble!" Wang Xuewu complained.

During the days he was recuperating at He Dong's house, Wang Xuewu got along very well with the He family. Meng Jing's cooking skills had won his heart, and to please her, Wang Xuewu had been flattering her, even convincing her to recognize him as her adopted son.

"Bro, Brother Wu, stop bickering! Let's go in!" He Xi urged again.

"Alright, alright! I want to see what has you so captivated!" He Dong said teasingly.

The old Guangtai Building, as the headquarters of Guangtai Group, was mainly used for office purposes, so it was decorated grandly and luxuriously. However, after it became Jincheng Building, He Dong felt a wave of opulence as soon as he walked in.

The first floor of Jincheng Building was primarily in gold and red, giving a sense of opulence. On both sides of the hall, there were about a dozen young women in white qipaos, all around twenty years old, with excellent looks and figures.

The white qipaos they wore were clearly designed to highlight their graceful figures, making them appear alluring yet not vulgar. He Dong noticed that many men entering the building would momentarily lose their composure when they saw these young women, and some even stopped in their tracks, staring.

Seeing this, He Dong quickly glanced at his younger brother, worried that He Xi, who was still young, might not be able to resist such temptation. However, He Dong soon relaxed, as He Xi's attention was clearly not on the young women. As soon as they entered, he confidently led the way to the elevator.

To He Dong's surprise, the elevator took them to the third basement level. When they stepped out, He Dong was completely stunned. Was this a basement? It felt more like a military camp!

"Stop! Please show your identification!" As soon as they exited the elevator, two armed soldiers blocked their way. What surprised He Dong the most was that these soldiers were women, and they were wearing a modified version of the military uniform that emphasized their femininity.

"This place is full of temptation!" The combination of a strict military camp and attractive women in military uniforms could easily captivate most men. He Dong couldn't help but marvel at the grand scale of it all.

Wang Xuewu and He Xi, who had been frequent visitors recently, each took out a card from their pockets and handed them over.

The two female soldiers took the cards and swiped them on a machine. A mechanical voice immediately announced, "Corporal Wang Xuewu" and "Corporal He Xi."

"Bro, this is your membership card!" Just as He Dong was puzzled by everything, He Xi suddenly handed him a card identical to the ones they had just shown.

"My membership card? I didn't sign up for any membership!" He Dong asked, confused.

"Hehe, I signed you up!" When He Xi first came here, he fell in love with the place. Since he always shared good things with He Dong, he did the same this time. However, he didn't immediately give He Dong the card, wanting to surprise him. Today, it seemed to have worked.

"You signed me up?" He Dong took the card from He Xi and handed it to one of the female soldiers.

"Private He Dong!" The mechanical voice announced again.

"Huh? You two are corporals, but I'm a private?" He Dong asked, puzzled.

"Brother Dong, this is a military enthusiast club, a fusion of the military and entertainment," Wang Xuewu explained, seeing He Dong's confusion. "There are shooting ranges and fitness training areas. Those tent-like structures look like military camps, but inside they are bars, cafes, and even restaurants! The consumption here is converted into membership points, and when the points reach a certain level, you automatically upgrade."

"Bro, since it's your first time, you haven't made any purchases, so you're a private. Hehe, Brother Wu and I have been here many times, so our membership levels are higher!" He Xi added.

"I see. The more you spend, the more points you get, and the higher your rank. If I come here a few more times, I'll be a general, right?" He Dong joked.

"Ha! You, a poor guy, can already consider it a great honor to come here. Want to be a general? Dream on!" Just as He Dong was getting interested and ready to experience the place, a familiar and arrogant voice sounded from behind them.
