Chen Fan was indeed a little surprised to hear this.
"What? Do you have a black card for the Marriott Hotel?" the girl teased.
The people around them immediately burst into laughter: "Du Jiaojiao, stop joking. Him? He probably can't even come up with a thousand yuan on him, and he wants a black card for the Marriott Hotel?"
"If he has a black card for the Marriott Hotel, then I'm the richest man in Jiangcheng!"
The crowd jeered.
"Sir, you'd better do as they say, or don't blame us for being rude." The middle-aged man looked at Chen Fan and threatened him.
Chen Fan reached into his pocket and looked at Zhang Chao and the others playfully. "Sorry, I actually have a black card here."
As he spoke, Chen Fan took out the black card that Zhang Chongshan had given him that day.
At the time, Zhang Chongshan had told him it was a member discount card, and hadn't told him how much weight it carried!
Chen Fan had also decided to find time to return the membership card to Zhang Chongshan, as the gift was too valuable for him.
However, Chen Fan couldn't understand how Zhang Chongshan, the dean of a community hospital, could have such a black card.
"Hahaha!"
"Chen Fan, isn't that a membership card for a billiard hall?"
"Maybe it is. Didn't this kid like playing billiards in college?"
"I'm dying of laughter, he's actually using a billiard card to impersonate a black card for the Marriott Hotel. Was his brain squeezed by a door?"
"Squeezed by a door? He was kicked by a donkey! To pull out a fake membership card in front of the restaurant manager, who would do such a thing?"
Du Jiaojiao and the others couldn't help but laugh.
But they didn't notice that the middle-aged man's face had changed color the moment he saw the black card in Chen Fan's hand.
"Chen, Mr. Chen, can I take a look at the card in your hand?" The middle-aged man's attitude towards Chen Fan changed 180 degrees, and he asked with trepidation.
Chen Fan nodded and handed the black card to the middle-aged man.
"Manager, you don't think the card in this kid's hand is real, do you?"
"I can tell you clearly, this kid probably doesn't have a thousand yuan on him. How could he possibly have a black card for the Marriott Hotel?"
Du Jiaojiao and the others said with disdain.
However, what happened next made Du Jiaojiao and the others stare in disbelief.
The middle-aged man quickly bowed deeply to Chen Fan and then respectfully said, "Respected Mr. Chen, welcome to the Sky Restaurant!"
"Manager, what are you doing?" Zhang Chao asked in surprise.
Du Jiaojiao also couldn't help but ask, "Manager, why are you so respectful to this poor kid? He doesn't deserve it!"
"Mr. Chen is our hotel's most distinguished black card member! He doesn't deserve it? Do you?"
"Someone, cancel this person's silver card membership immediately and put him on the hotel's blacklist!" The middle-aged man pointed at Zhang Chao.
"Yes, yes!" The waiter who had been serving Chen Fan was almost scared to pee. He quickly nodded and hurried towards the counter.
Zhang Chao was stunned, and so were Du Jiaojiao and the others!
"Manager, are you sure you're not mistaken? I know this kid best. We were in the same class back then. He was a poor kid whose family ran a Chinese medicine clinic. His clothes usually cost tens of yuan. How could he..."
Before Zhang Chao could finish speaking, the middle-aged man said coldly, "Get these people out of here!"
A moment later, several security guards appeared in front of Zhang Chao and the others, and directly snatched away Zhang Chao's proud membership card.
"What are you doing?! I'm a member here! Let me go and give me back my silver card!" Zhang Chao shouted frantically, unwilling to accept it, especially seeing his silver card being confiscated.
This silver card was his father's. He had taken it out to show off to his classmates.
Normally, his father would come to the Sky Restaurant for business meetings, which also showed his status.
If his father found out about this, he would probably skin him alive!
Zhang Chao struggled free from the security guards and rushed towards Chen Fan and Qin Shuran.
Seeing this, Chen Fan stepped forward and stood in front of Qin Shuran, worried that Zhang Chao might lash out and hurt her.
However, to Chen Fan's surprise, Zhang Chao's legs went weak when he reached Chen Fan. With a thud, he knelt before Chen Fan.
"Chen Fan, Chen Fan, we are classmates. I was wrong before. I was joking. I know I was wrong now. Please, please ask them to return that silver card to me."
Zhang Chao, who had been arrogant just moments ago and claimed Chen Fan was doomed, had completely lost his arrogance.
"Is that so? Classmate? Joking?"
"Do you think you are worthy of being my classmate? And what right do you have to joke with me?" Chen Fan looked at Zhang Chao with cold eyes.
At this moment, Chen Fan finally understood the meaning of that saying.
"There is no right or wrong in this world. So-called right or wrong only applies to the weak!"
"Chen Fan, I really know I was wrong. This card belongs to my father. If this card is gone, my father will beat me to death!" Zhang Chao cried, tears streaming down his face, and reached out to hug Chen Fan's leg.
However, two security guards directly grabbed Zhang Chao's arms and lifted him from the ground.
Ignoring Zhang Chao's struggles, the security guards shoved him into the elevator and kicked him out of the Sky Restaurant.
"Mr. Chen, beautiful lady, I am truly sorry for what happened before. I didn't know you were a black card member of our Marriott Hotel." Seeing these people being driven away, the middle-aged man apologized respectfully to Chen Fan again.
"It's alright," Chen Fan replied politely.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, could you tell me who gave you this black card? Don't worry, I don't have any other intentions."
"Zhang Chongshan," Chen Fan truthfully said Zhang Chongshan's name.
Hearing this name, the middle-aged man was also surprised, and then said, "I understand. Please follow me. To express our apologies today, this meal is on the house at our Sky Restaurant."
Chen Fan also noticed the change in the middle-aged man's expression, which made him even more curious about Zhang Chongshan's identity.
Soon, Chen Fan and Qin Shuran followed the middle-aged man to a private room in the Sky Restaurant.
The private room was extremely luxurious, even the wine glasses were made of crystal and were disposable.
What shocked Chen Fan the most was that the private room had a 180-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, offering a panoramic view of half of Jiangcheng's night scenery.
The two were seated, and the food was personally prepared by the middle-aged man.
In the room, only Chen Fan and Qin Shuran were left.
However, as soon as they sat down, Qin Shuran's complexion turned grim. She clutched her lower abdomen with both hands, clearly feeling unwell.
"Does it hurt this much every time you have your period?" Chen Fan asked.
"Yes, can you even cure women's periods?" Qin Shuran nodded, but then looked at Chen Fan strangely.
