"Zhang nglong, President Zhang, I called you all day yesterday, what on earth were you doing?" The next morning, Zhang nglong was awakened by Wang Ling's complaining tone.
"I went to my ex-girlfriend's wedding yesterday, what about it?"
"Damn, you've really got guts, going to your ex-girlfriend's wedding?" Hearing such explosive news, Wang Ling instantly forgot his own matters, "I thought I was the only one who liked to switch girlfriends, but it turns out you're quite the player too, Young Master Zhang!"
"What do you an 'switch girlfriends'? I'm still single, so there's no concept of switching, okay?" Zhang nglong was grumpy from just waking up, and his tone was rather unfriendly, "Do I look like the kind of guy who irresponsibly dumps and moves on from won?"
"Wasn't it you who dumped her?" Wang Ling asked with a face of surprise, "It couldn't possibly be that she dumped you, right? What kind of no-brained woman would do that? If I were a girl, I'd want to marry you too!"
"Gross
out less!" Zhang nglong looked disgusted, "And you're actually right, I was the one who got dumped."
"Damn, that's cool!" Wang Ling was imdiately curious about Zhang nglong's unseen ex-girlfriend, "For soone to make Young Master Zhang lose face, there probably isn't a second person like that in the world. This lady sounds interesting. You didn't tell her about your fortune, did you?"
"I didn't even know about it myself back then, let alone her." Zhang nglong rolled his eyes.
"Hahaha, so you were just a loser back then," Wang Ling laughed, "but you must've turned the tables yesterday, right? Did that girl end up crying bitterly on the floor begging for your forgiveness?"
"Do you read too many lodramatic novels or what? Am I that petty?"
"Bro, it's not a matter of being petty or not. If soone stole my girlfriend, I'd make sure they couldn't live it down!" Wang Ling said with a playful grin, "By the way, my girlfriend has quite a few top-level resources; why not find one to have so fun with? It's not like you're definitely going to marry her, just play the field until you're content!"
"Alright, alright," Zhang nglong quickly interrupted Wang Ling's words, "what did you want to talk about?"
"What's with your mory, man? Didn't I tell you there's a gemstone gambling event happening soon in Jiangnan City? I'll take you there to broaden your horizons and maybe place a couple of bets?"
"Oh right, I've been so busy spending money I almost forgot about that."
"Busy spending money..." After hearing Zhang nglong's words, Wang Ling felt the urge to hang up, "I'll co over in a bit, and we can head there together."
"Sure," Zhang nglong readily agreed, "but brace yourself, I'm afraid my place might shock you."
"Pfft, my ntality is rock solid, it's nothing," Wang Ling said, "Send
your location."
Zhang nglong laughed and sent his location imdiately.
"Hong Yi, I need to go out for a bit later."
"Mr. Zhang, do you need
to accompany you?"
"No need, I'm going with Wang Ling to check out the gemstone market, just to see the world."
"Mr. Zhang, shall I call a few expert gem evaluators to join you? They have a wealth of experience and are absolutely top-level professionals in China."
"Sure, just have them et us at the venue." Zhang nglong was indeed curious to see how these master evaluators could discern whether there was jade inside these rough stones.
Wang Ling's place wasn't too far from Zhang nglong's. It took just about twenty minutes for him to arrive at the residential complex. Today, Wang Ling was still dressed in everyday casual clothes, yet he drove up in that toxic ride of his.
"You're really sothing, actually opening up a gas station right outside your own ho!" When Wang Ling ca over earlier, the gas station was nearing completion after being rushed day and night.
"That's just basic business, nothing surprising," Zhang nglong laughed, "Are we being too ostentatious riding this thing today?"
"What's ostentatious about it? Today's not just about the big shots from the jewelry and jade businesses, there are also a lot of young people like us. Shouldn't we match the occasion with sothing nice?"
Wang Ling pointed at the residential complex behind Zhang nglong and said, "Didn't you say you were afraid I'd lose my cool after seeing your place? This is it?"
The single unit price for the houses in this area was indeed not cheap, but compared to Wang Ling's villa, which was close to three hundred thousand per square ter, it was several notches down. Moreover, the largest house in this complex seed to be just over 100 square ters, which was sowhat embarrassing for soone like Zhang nglong.
"This suite must be worth tens of millions, right?" For the average person, a ho worth tens of millions was nearly a dream, but for soone like Wang Ling, this figure seed quite laughable.
"About that, given the price of this location, a suite would range from 8 to 12 million," Zhang nglong said.
"Hahaha, here I was thinking you, Zhang nglong, lived in an Emperor's palace, and this is supposed to make
lose my cool? You're underestimating , Wang Ling!"
"Did I say I only have one suite here?" Zhang nglong said calmly.
"What?" Wang Ling thought for a mont, considering that Zhang nglong, who treated buying cars like buying vegetables, owning just one suite didn't seem likely, "Did you buy an entire floor?"
If we're talking about an entire floor, the area could be well over 400 square ters.
"I thought only poor people had limited imagination, turns out wealthy folks aren't much better," Zhang nglong remarked.
"Co on, if you're capable, why not buy the entire building!"
Zhang nglong pointed at the several buildings behind him and laughed, "This one, this one, this one, all of these buildings are mine."
"I'm not well-read, don't trick ," Wang Ling was utterly stunned.
He couldn't even begin to fathom the total cost of these buildings' construction area in his head in that mont.
"Am I, Wang Ling, that easy to deceive? Can you really live in so many buildings all by yourself?" Wang Ling asked.
"It's not just
living here," Zhang nglong pursed his lips, "My chef, cleaners, drivers, personal doctor, lawyers... they all live here. I myself just live in the middle building."
"Want
to show you around?" Zhang nglong offered with a smile.
"You little bastard, you're a beast!" The expression on Wang Ling's face twisted, and it took him a while to squeeze out these words.
Now he finally understood why Zhang nglong had been so unmoved by his billion-dollar luxurious villa; his own place was practically an imperial palace!
"What's the matter? I charge 10 bucks a photo here, no group discounts!"
"Click!" Without hesitation, Wang Ling snapped a picture of the entire residential area and shared it on his Weibo, adding a few words, "Visited a big shot's ho today, this entire district belongs to him, I'm freakin' losing it!"
