Translator: Aristophaneso Editor: Caron_
The next morning Chu Xian opened his shop door and stood in the sun, stretching comfortably.
After devouring a stead bun and spicy soup breakfast, it was ti for Chu Xian to leave, so he drove his Rover to the Gold Dragon Resort.
Chu Xian was still a new driver, so he didn’t try to drive fast or pretend to be a boss on the road.
The parking lot of the Golden Dragon Resort was filled with dozens of fancy cars, all there to celebrate Golden Dragon Group.
Chu Xian took a flower basket he’d bought the day before out of his trunk; it was labeled: Chu Xian Ornantal Fish Shop Wishes Golden Dragon Holiday Resort Great Fortune.
At the entrance of the Holiday Village, Jin Sen stood in a suit beside Manager Wang, welcoming all the guests. He purposely walked over to Chu Xian and said, “Haha Chu Xian bro, welco! Welco!”
“Congratulations!” Chu Xian said with a surprised glance at his professional appearance.
“Heehee.” Jin Sen straightened his clothes and said with a smile, “Brother, I can’t keep you company yet; go inside and have a look around.”
“En.” Chu Xian nodded. “Don’t worry about .”
Manager Wang imdiately took his flower basket. Chu Xian nodded in his direction and walked inside.
Just inside was a group of people surrounding the glass “Welco,” and a beautiful comntator was giving an introduction.
“The two Koi Fish in the center are the famous Champion Fish Lion Queen and Xi Shi, each worth more than two million; they cost our Mr. Jin lots of his energy to get his hands on. As for the goldfish on the sides, aren’t they beautiful? These are all precious ornantal goldfish, worth two thousand each.”
Chu Xian walked over, listening to the comntator, unable to resist. So of the guests looked up with faces full of surprise. A four million RMB welco sign was really incredibly lavish and gave people a sense of quality and refinent.
Chu Xian walked further in and sat in the rest area. The tables were covered with fruit and alcoholic beverages, and all the beautifully dressed ladies and gentleman chatted warmly and familiarly with each other. To Chu Xian, this scene was like sothing straight out of TV.
“It seems my clothes don’t suit the occasion!” Chu Xian realized most of the people around him were wearing suits or formal clothing and very few wore casual clothes. His mouth twitched. “There’s still a lot for to learn!”
Grabbing so fruit, Chu Xian ate leisurely as more and more people gathered around. As it approached eleven, waiters ca over to speak to the crowd.
The opening ceremony was about to begin, so Chu Xian followed the flow of people to the entrance.
A platform had been set up, and Jin Hua and Jin Sen stood on it, surrounded by the dia.
At eleven thirty, Jin Hua gave a speech as the CEO of Golden Dragon Group, followed by Jin Sen who also said his piece. Afterwards, a famous middle-aged man and an older man got up and cut the ribbon together.
Chu Xian recognized several celebrities from Hai Qing City along with so famous movie stars.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Jin Sen brought a group of similarly aged young n and won over to Chu Xian.
“Brother Chu, let introduce you. These are my friends Zhao Xiang, Song Hui Sheng, Li Qiao Qiao, Li Hua Zhong, Ge Wen Qing.” Jin Sen pointed them out one by one then introduced Chu Xian to them, “This is a new brother I made recently; he started his business all on his own—he’s very capable!”
“Hello, hello!” All the young n and won shook his hand politely; anyone who could be considered a friend of Young Master Jin must be outstanding.
Chu Xian shook their hands, and they all followed Jin Sen inside.
After arriving in a hall, Chu Xian, and Jin Sen and his friends sat down just in ti for dinner to be served.
Chu Xian soon picked up from their conversation that all these people were sons and daughters of rich and powerful n—none of them had an ordinary background.
Jin Sen only ate a little before he had to go mingle—after all, this resort was under his managent and he needed to make so friends in both business and political circles.
“Ah, Brother Chu Xian. What do you do?” When most of them had finished eating, a young man nad Zhao Xiang turned his attention to Chu Xian.
Everyone at the table turned inquisitive gazes towards Chu Xian.
Chu Xian smiled at them, “I sell ornantal fish. I sold all the fish near the entrance to Mr. Jin.”
“You sold all of them?” All the people looked at him with astonishnt. At this point, everyone and their mother knew the fish were worth more than four million. Many of the guests were stunned by Golden Dragon Group’s grand gesture!
“En.” Chu Xian nodded.
“Wow, those goldfish are so pretty. Do you have more? I want to buy so!” The only woman at the table, Li Qiao Qiao, asked him excitedly.
“Not right now; all of them were bought by Mr Jin. I’ll have so after next Monday. You can co to my shop, and I’ll give you so as a small present!” Chu Xian answered with a smile.
“Heehee, I’ll be embarrassed if you give too many. If you just save five or six for , I’ll be happy.” Li Qiao Qiao smiled.
“It’s really nothing! I can give you all a couple, and if you don’t want them, you can gift them to others. You can help spread my na a little! ” Chu Xian smiled.
“Heehee, you said it yourself bro. I’m a poor man. When the ti cos, I’m going to go to your shop and take my share then!” Ge Qing Wen said with a laugh.
“Ha ha, you’re welco to. We should add each other on WeChat, and I’ll ssage you when my fish get restocked so you can just drop by and pick so up!” Chu Xian said generously – trading so of his goldfish for so friendly connections was a good exchange to him.
“Then I’ll have to take you up on that!” Li Qiao Qiao said, as she stuck her tongue out at him and smiled.
“It’s no trouble!” Chu Xian shook his head. “All I ask in return is that you tell your friends about . Don’t worry about it!”
At Chu Xian’s generous gesture the people around the table all smiled and felt closer to him – he was unpretentious and honest, well worth befriending.
“What are you all so happy about?” Jin Sen asked curiously as he walked over with a slight flush on his face, seeing them talking and laughing so happily.
“Of course we’re happy! Brother Chu Xian said he’s going to give all of us so goldfish,” Ge Qing Wen said with a smile.
“You all benefited from , so you have to give a cut later too!” Jin Sen joked.
“What do you an because of you? Chu Xian brother is willing to give us his fish; what does that have anything to do with you?! Haha! Co! Co! Let’s drink!”
