"Arranging activities is no problem. Do you prefer singing or drinking? Do you have any special preferences?"

Pang Zheng knew that Qin Mei's mother was from Changyang City. Every summer, Qin Mei usually went to her grandmother's house in Changyang City. He didn't ask how Yang Jie and Yang Jie's group met Qin Mei. Hearing Qin Mei ask him to treat her friends, he didn't hesitate and looked at Yang Jie and Liu Fei, asking them.

"We are fine with either. Brother Zheng, you can arrange it!"

Yang Jie naturally didn't refuse drinking. Liu Fei, who came from a cultural troupe, was said to have a beautiful singing voice by Guo Ziqiang. Therefore, Yang Jie let the host decide and left it to Pang Zheng to arrange.

"Alright! It's not early now. Tomorrow is Monday, and you all have to work. Let's go to the newly opened Blue Dream KTV nearby. There are private rooms, and the environment is quite nice." When Pang Zheng said this, Qin Mei smiled happily and agreed. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Pang Zheng drove a black imported Audi V6 to the roadside.

Before getting into the car, Yang Jie noticed the license plate of the V6: Jiang A26666, a provincial city plate with four consecutive 6s, which was not something an ordinary person could get. Moreover, there was a pass for the provincial party committee compound on the front window. It seemed that Pang Zheng was not an ordinary person.

After everyone got into the car, Pang Zheng drove towards the nearby riverside avenue.

"Blue Dream has been open for less than two months and is still in the trial operation phase. The boss is well-managed and has extensive connections in Rongcheng. You can bring clients and leaders here in the future; it won't make you lose face."

Pang Zheng was speaking to Yang Jie. The staff of the provincial office mainly focused on 'reception and socializing.' Therefore, they had to be well-versed in eating, drinking, and entertainment. Otherwise, if a leader came to the provincial city and was not well-received, it would be considered a work error.

Additionally, to run projects and secure funds from provincial departments, socializing was essential. Therefore, being familiar with high-end venues in Rongcheng and expanding one's network required frequent visits to these social places.

Yang Jie, who was quick to understand, gratefully said to Pang Zheng, "Brother Zheng, thank you. We just arrived in Rongcheng and have a lot to learn. When we have the chance, we will definitely seek your guidance."

"No problem! My company is in Nanjiang District, not far from here. Whenever you have time, come to my company for a cup of tea!" Pang Zheng seemed very straightforward. He then fumbled in the dashboard's card holder and took out two business cards, giving them to Yang Jie and Liu Fei.

Blue Dream KTV is located at the intersection of Riverside Avenue and Jiangnan Avenue. The large KTV sign on top of the building can be seen clearly from a kilometer away.

When Pang Zheng drove to the front of the KTV, Yang Jie and Liu Fei realized how large the KTV was.

Blue Dream KTV covers a vast area, not inferior to the large supermarkets Yang Jie had visited in Yanjing. In front of the KTV is a large garden-style parking lot, with nearly a hundred cars parked densely. Flower beds with blooming flowers surround the parking lot like a fence.

If someone came here for the first time, they might think it was a five-star hotel. A circular driveway surrounds the garden parking lot, passing through the KTV's main entrance and then to the other side of the parking lot. The beautiful garden, with its lush flowers and tall trees, obscures the view of the KTV's main entrance.

The busy Riverside Avenue and Jiangnan Avenue do not allow one to see the KTV's entrance clearly. In other words, one cannot see the KTV's true situation or who enters Blue Dream without going inside. Therefore, in terms of privacy, Blue Dream is well-designed.

"Blue Dream KTV has a lot of TV advertisements, but I didn't expect it to be so large." Qin Mei had never been to Blue Dream. Seeing its scale, she was somewhat surprised, though not shocked.

"Blue Dream is currently the largest and most luxurious KTV in Rongcheng. The first to third floors are regular KTVs where anyone can go. Above the third floor, it operates on a membership system, not accepting non-members. It's similar to some clubs in Beijing, where only people with status and position can enter."

Pang Zheng drove into Blue Dream. At the entrance to the garden parking lot, he showed his membership card and was allowed in.

Yang Jie and Liu Fei looked at Blue Dream KTV, a seven-story building with a glass curtain wall. Under the colorful lights nearby, it reflected a dazzling glow. The bustling KTV, like a city that never sleeps, attracted people of all ages to stay and spend money.

After Pang Zheng parked the car, the three followed him to a small, inconspicuous door on the left side of the main entrance. "The main hall of Blue Dream only goes up to the third floor. To go upstairs, you have to take this special passage."

The lighting inside the small door was dim, so it wouldn't attract attention at night. The group passed through the special passage, turned right into the elevator lobby, where two muscular men in suits with walkie-talkies were guarding the elevator.

Looking at the two men in front, Yang Jie's eyes narrowed. He sensed a bloody aura from them, and their strong military presence indicated they were likely former reconnaissance soldiers who had seen combat.

What kind of background does the owner of Blue Dream have to have two elite former reconnaissance soldiers guarding the elevator?

"Sorry! This is the KTV office area. If you want to sing, please go out and enter through the main entrance!" One of the two men standing by the elevators stepped forward to block Pang Zheng, speaking sternly.

"I am a member of Blue Dream. Here is my membership card!" Pang Zheng seemed to have anticipated that the two men would block them and took out his membership card from his pocket, handing it to the muscular man.

"I am Security Officer Xiao Li. Welcome to Blue Dream. May I ask which floor you are going to?" Xiao Li took Pang Zheng's membership card, verified it, and then returned it to him.

"We are going to the fourth floor. Please notify them to prepare a private room."

Pang Zheng had been to Blue Dream before and knew the rules. After receiving his membership card, he said this and then turned to Qin Mei, Yang Jie, and Liu Fei, gesturing for them to follow him to the elevator, which was opened by another security guard.

"Brother Zheng, who owns Blue Dream? It's quite impressive!" Qin Mei asked curiously after the elevator doors closed.

"A person I dare not offend. Don't ask. You troublemaker, don't cause any trouble here, understand?" Pang Zheng's expression was very serious, and he spoke with a heavy tone, warning Qin Mei. By then, the elevator had already reached the fourth floor.

"Welcome to Blue Dream! We are honored to serve such distinguished guests!" Four beautiful women in palace-style red cheongsams stood in a line at the elevator entrance, performing a formal palace greeting as the four guests stepped out of the elevator.

Pang Zheng was very familiar with the place. After the four women finished their greeting, he looked at the lead attendant. "Is Xiao Qian here? Have her arrange a private room for us!"

"Manager Luo is in the office. The private room has already been arranged. Please go to the private room and wait. Manager Luo will personally come to entertain you shortly." The lead attendant replied respectfully and made a gesture to lead the way, walking on the right side of the four guests with the other three cheongsam-clad women.

Leaving the elevator lobby and entering the fourth-floor foyer, Yang Jie and Liu Fei were amazed by the opulent and tasteful decor, illuminated by three crystal chandeliers.

The different colors of the palace-style cheongsam-clad women, combined with the regal decor, made the place look especially grand and luxurious. The thick carpet on the floor and the three corridors leading to different private room areas, each guarded by two women in purple cheongsams, added to the grandeur.

Yang Jie and Liu Fei had never been to such a place before. It was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden for the first time.

Fortunately, both had good mental fortitude, especially Yang Jie, who walked naturally behind Pang Zheng and Qin Mei, not looking around. Liu Fei, who came from a cultural troupe, had seen many grand scenes and managed to hold her own, though she looked a bit restrained.

Following the four women leading the way, they entered a corridor in the middle of the foyer. The corridor was elegantly decorated, with gilded decorations and special lighting that made it shine like a palace.

The corridor was designed with twists and turns, with each private room door staggered to ensure privacy. Two women in purple cheongsams stood at each private room door, ready to serve the guests at any time.
