C1 The Night Was Filled with Excitement
On a night when the city lights flicker, the streets are mostly empty, with fewer cars passing by. While it's often said that nights are quiet, there are always one or two places in the city where noise and cheer persist. Take, for instance, the club.
Located on Yongan Street, the Eighth Business Club was built thirty years ago. This place can be both upscale and down-to-earth, bustling or serene. Its prime location offers a panoramic view of the entire city from the top floor.
Standing at 984 feet, the club has sixty floors. The first six floors are dedicated to business, floors seven to thirty are office spaces, floors thirty-one to fifty-two are apartments, and floors fifty-four to fifty-six house bars. The top floors, from fifty-seven to sixty, are a five-star club.
You might wonder about the mysterious fifty-third floor between the apartments and bars. Here's the story: as a city landmark, the club owes its existence to the Di family. Thirty years ago, the patriarch of the Di family reserved the fifty-third floor for his grandson. To this day, it's an empty space, waiting for the young master to use it for his wedding.
As for why the apartments are directly below the bars, that's a question for Young Master Di. Eventually, people got their answer. In a rare moment, Young Master Di smiled at the cameras, his gaze fixed lovingly on the woman beside him, and said, "I guess it was all to meet my wife."
As a bar with a unique identity, the club often serves as a great place to unwind with a drink.
In June, during graduation season, Chi Zaozao, one of the graduates who had been quiet throughout college and had never visited a bar, decided to change that on the day of her graduation ceremony. She invited a few of her roommates to the club's fifty-fourth floor.
At this late hour, nearing midnight, night owls were just coming alive. Visitors to the fifty-fourth floor of the club typically fell into three categories, not divided by gender.
Some were tired of the city's noise and the deceit in society, coming here purely to let off steam. Others, perhaps feeling lonely, came just to pass the time. The last group, both men and women, sought fleeting connections, simply to satisfy their desires.
At this moment, it was unclear which category the man sitting at the bar belonged to. Regardless of the classification, it was evident that his mere presence captured the attention of all the women in the room.
Dressed casually, he exuded an extraordinary aura, clearly someone with a good upbringing and manners. A few strands of hair fell over his eyes, which were focused as if deep in thought. His profile was strikingly handsome.
At first glance, people are often drawn to looks, and the second thing is usually physique. A man's tall, athletic build, broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist, can easily remind onlookers of a sleek panther.
The women around him, seeing such a prime catch, naturally become eager and restless. Each one hopes to catch his eye, aiming to leave the best impression on this captivating man.
