Chen Hao and Zhang Ruifeng, despite their disdain, felt their jealousy towards Zhou Wang increase once again by 10086...
Why don’t they have such an easily fooled yet beautiful girlfriend!
Li Danni didn’t want the atmosphere to become too awkward, so she quickly laughed and said, "I never said I didn’t believe Zhou Wang. If he really buys this hotel, then you’ll be the boss lady. I’ll be mooching off you in the future!"
"Oh, you’re terrible!"
As a "seasoned driver," Su Yajing naturally kept up with Li Danni’s pace. Blushing, she hit Li Danni playfully, her charming demeanor making Zhou Wang all the more restless.
Old Jing, I’m craving fish now...
Although Li Danni wanted to change the topic, Chen Hao and Zhang Ruifeng were obviously not willing to let Zhou Wang off the hook that easily. However, since Li Danni had spoken up, they couldn’t directly belittle Zhou Wang anymore. In that moment, Chen Hao had a stroke of genius and said,
"Brother Zhou, your ’casually buying hotels’ operation reminds me of a legend spreading in Ming City!"
"What legend?"
Zhang Ruifeng knew his buddy wouldn’t mention something without a reason, so he immediately chimed in.
"This is something I heard from my cousin. He said in our Ming City circle, a while back, there was a ruthless individual who would buy wherever he went. Because of this, he got the nickname ’Ming City’s Batman’..."
"’Ming City’s Batman’?"
Zhang Ruifeng was startled, then laughed, "That’s kind of funny. If buying things wherever you go counts, there are way too many Batmans in the world. I could be the ’Lu City’s Batman’ since every place I go, without exaggeration, I can easily drop six figures."
Saying this, Zhang Ruifeng glanced covertly at Su Yajing, but to his annoyance, Su Yajing didn’t even glance his way and was instead tenderly helping Zhou Wang wipe his hands with a wet wipe.
Damn it, I’m so jealous!
"No, Ruifeng, it’s really not the same!"
Chen Hao shook his head. "What you buy are mere luxury items, but that legendary guy buys actual assets. For example, he went for a meal with my cousin and others, and because someone else offended him, that legend bought the entire place on the spot to kick the offender out to vent his anger..."
"How much was that establishment?"
Zhang Ruifeng asked instinctively, being somewhat dumbfounded.
"At least over a billion."
"..."
Zhang Ruifeng was at a loss for words for a while, "Seriously, just to vent frustration, he spent a billion on the spot. Is he nuts or something?"
Not knowing how else to describe it, Zhang Ruifeng could only say that.
"It’s absolutely true. There were not only my cousin but also several well-known second-gen heirs in Ming City’s circle present. This story is easy to verify."
It was rare for Chen Hao to impress his good friend, whose family situation was superior to his own, so he couldn’t help but smile proudly,
"But that’s not all, shortly after that incident, that ruthless guy struck again. Reportedly due to another dispute, he crashed into a company, and just because the boss refused to bow down, in his anger..."
Chen Hao paused deliberately at this point, and Li Danni, already drawn into the topic, couldn’t help but interject,
"He bought that company?"
"No."
Facing the curious gazes of Zhang Ruifeng and his girlfriend, Chen Hao said plainly, "He bought the whole office building where the company was located."
Chen Hao said it lightly to boost his status, but to Li Danni and Zhang Ruifeng, it sounded utterly shocking.
Damn...
Just to retaliate against a company, he bought an entire office building?
What kind of insanely extravagant move is that!
"Oh my God, how rich must this person be?"
Zhang Ruifeng was momentarily at a loss for words, and Li Danni couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Who knows, but after that incident, the legend of ’Ming City’s Batman’ spread in the Ming City circle. Sadly, I’ve yet to meet that ruthless guy, and I have no idea who he really is..."
Chen Hao shrugged.
"Pfft!"
At this moment, Su Yajing couldn’t help but giggle again, raising her eyes to glance at Zhou Wang and then at the bewildered faces around. She increasingly couldn’t contain her laughter and buried her face in Zhou Wang’s chest, laughing uproariously.
Su Yajing didn’t know much about the office building incident, but Shen Yutong was present during that clubhouse episode and had vividly described the whole process to their group long ago.
So, the moment Chen Hao started speaking, Su Yajing already realized whom he was talking about.
To speak of "legends" in front of a "legend," the dramatic turn was truly amusing to Su Yajing.
Zhou Wang also felt slightly helpless, so he could only hold Su Yajing’s fragrant shoulders and smile at the others, "Sorry, she’s a bit deranged today... However, Brother Hao, I need to correct you. It wasn’t the entire building, just ten floors, to be precise."
"You know about this too?"
Chen Hao was first surprised, then he understood and gave Zhou Wang an inscrutable smile,
"So, Brother Zhou, when you said you wanted to buy this hotel, you were ’paying homage’ to that Ming City’s Batman, huh, hahaha, I guess I was slow to catch your reference..."
Zhou Wang was just about to reply when Chen Hao’s phone started ringing. He glanced at it but remained seated and answered the call right on the table.
"Hey, bro... Yeah, I’m here at Lishui Yunquan. Did you finish your business... All right, all right, we’ll be here this afternoon. You can come straight over... Alright, alright, call me when you arrive, and I’ll come to get you!"
After hanging up, Chen Hao couldn’t hide his excitement as he said to Li Danni,
"Danni, you’ve always wanted to meet my cousin, right? He happens to be doing business near University City today and will be here shortly..."
