Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

It doesn’t operate publicly, only entertaining guests who hold membership.

The rules are shockingly strict:

Consumption standard: Basic package is 8,888 yuan per person, with an additional **15% service charge.

This is just entry-level; if paired with the restaurant’s carefully selected wines, the per person cost easily exceeds 10,000 yuan.

Special customized menus are open-ended.

Also, Jinghua Pavilion is membership-based, only serving its members.

Even the most basic membership can’t be obtained just by having money; it requires recommendation from three senior members.

Being a member of Jinghua Pavilion has long been a symbol of identity and circle.

It is the place in Beijing where countless wealthy individuals, celebrities, and big shots discuss important matters, enjoying extreme privacy and prestige.

Jiang Tao’s membership card was given by Xiang Huabin when he attended a banquet at Huabin Manor yesterday, and it’s the highest level platinum membership card.

This card not only waives the high entry fees and cumbersome recommendation process, but also grants a no-reservation privilege.

The cardholder can come anytime and will receive the most luxurious and thoughtful service.

This is undoubtedly another generous gift from Xiang Huabin to express gratitude and further draw closer.

Jiang Tao and the elegantly dressed He Jing walked side by side down the alley.

He Jing looked at this place that was as extremely low-key as it was luxurious.

Her heart felt a bit nervous, and she instinctively tightened her grip on Jiang Tao’s arm.

Ring—

Just as Jiang Tao and He Jing were about to reach the vermillion-painted door, Jiang Tao’s phone vibrated in his pocket.

Taking out his phone and seeing Xu Li’s name on the incoming call display, Jiang Tao’s expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Brother Tao, I’ll go wait for you in that rest area."

Seeing Jiang Tao’s expression, He Jing thoughtfully said.

"Mm, go wait a while, I’ll be there soon."

Seeing He Jing being so obedient and sensible, Jiang Tao smiled.

He lifted his leg and walked towards a quieter corner and swiped his finger to answer the call.

He Jing turned around and headed to a nearby rest area not far from where they were standing.

Inside the rest area, several young-looking guys were chatting and laughing.

"Ziyang, is your girlfriend coming today or not?"

"Yeah, we all want to see if she’s as pretty as in the photos."

"How charming she must be to make our Young Master Zhang pursue her ardently for three years!"

Zhang Ziyang’s friends laughed and teased.

"Three days ago, I sent her a message saying I’m waiting for her here, today’s my final deadline, if she doesn’t come, from now on, I..."

Zhang Ziyang was speaking when he inadvertently looked up and saw He Jing walking gracefully towards the rest area.

"She’s here! Guys, she’s here! I made it!"

Seeing He Jing, Zhang Ziyang suddenly felt a surge of energy and stood up from his seat!

To impress today, he had spent a fortune.

Half a year ago, he used family connections and managed to reserve a luxurious lunch at Jinghua Pavilion priced over 80,000 yuan.

His plan was to invite He Jing today and launch his final attack at this top-tier venue.

Believing no girl could refuse such a romantic and "powerful" confession.

Unfortunately, He Jing hadn’t answered his calls and replied to messages coldly.

At this moment, seeing his goddess appear at Jinghua Pavilion’s entrance.

Zhang Ziyang’s first reaction was that He Jing had come around.

His three-year effort finally moved her!

"Wow, she’s way prettier than in the photos."

"Her figure and charisma, she increasingly resembles a younger version of the Milk Tea Sister!"

"She truly does! Blind Dong’s aesthetics are reliable, Ziyang, you’re a lucky guy!"

"Hey, Ziyang, does your girlfriend have any sisters? If one looks similar, introduce her to us, I wanna be brothers-in-law!"

Zhang Ziyang’s friends watched He Jing walk gracefully towards the rest area, all with envious glances!

With her looks and figure, even amidst the beauties of Beijing, she’s quite impressive.

Besides, she just completed her transformation from girl to woman, like a freshly blooming rose, brimming with charm.

"He Jing!"

Zhang Ziyang excitedly called He Jing’s name and strode toward her.

"Zhang Ziyang?"

He Jing was completely preoccupied with Jiang Tao’s phone call.

She hadn’t noticed Zhang Ziyang and his friends in the rest area.

Until Zhang Ziyang loudly called her name, she snapped out of her slightly dazed state.

Lifting her gaze, she saw Zhang Ziyang excitedly approaching her.

He Jing’s expression first showed surprise, then visible annoyance and disgust.

Zhang Ziyang is a local from Beijing.

His family, with early demolition compensation, owned an eight-figure fortune, a typical "nouveau riche" second generation.

From freshman year, he crazily pursued He Jing, showering gifts, inviting her to meals, creating "romance," pestering her for three years.

But He Jing never gave him any response beyond classmates, clearly rejecting him multiple times.

And she had returned all the gifts he sent through her roommates.

Today, coming here with Jiang Tao for a romantic time, He Jing was initially quite happy.

But seeing this classmate who pestered her like a stubborn dog for three years, her good mood vanished.

"Eh?"

Seeing He Jing’s annoyed face, Zhang Ziyang, who was just ecstatic, suddenly felt like he was doused with ice water.

What’s happening?

Did He Jing mix up her scripts?

Wasn’t she coming here today to accept his confession?

Zhang Ziyang hesitantly said, "He Jing, you..."

He Jing, expressionless, said:

"Classmate Zhang Ziyang, my boyfriend is on a call behind me, I solemnly repeat, please stop harassing me from now on."

"Ah? Your boyfriend? When did you have a boyfriend? How come I didn’t know!"

Upon hearing He Jing’s words, Zhang Ziyang felt as if the sky had fallen!

His goddess of three years actually had a boyfriend?

So what did his efforts over the past three years count for?

Originally, he thought today he would finally see the light of day.

Never did he expect to be made a fool in front of his friends!

Stunned, disappointed, even a bit angry, his facial expression twisted.

"Whoa, what’s going on? This turnaround came out of nowhere..."

"I mean, what’s this about? Did she come here just to humiliate Ziyang?"

"Feeling sorry for Ziyang for two seconds, I’ve stated before that such a pretty girl isn’t easily won over."

"Ah! Beauty is a disaster! Hope Ziyang learns his lesson and gets out of this pit quickly!"

On the side, Zhang Ziyang’s friends watched the situation take an unforeseen turn.

Each expressed sympathy yet secretly relished the spectacle.

Afraid of their bro’s single pain, yet afraid he’d actually win over the goddess!

Honestly, hearing Zhang Ziyang say He Jing was the girl he’d pursued for three years and seeing him almost succeed.

A hint of jealousy arose in these friends’ hearts!

Now, seeing Zhang Ziyang disappoint, they felt relieved.

This is human nature.

Even the closest family might envy your better life, let alone these friends.

"When she got a boyfriend doesn’t seem like something she needs to report to you."

Jiang Tao’s voice sounded behind He Jing, immediately grounding her.

He Jing turned and saw Jiang Tao striding towards her confidently, and she smiled brightly like sunshine.

Having been classmates with He Jing for three years, Zhang Ziyang had never seen He Jing smile so happily.

"Brother Tao."

He Jing naturally linked arms with Jiang Tao, her sweet tone sending Zhang Ziyang’s blood sugar soaring!
