The catering departnt of Paradise Club provided delicious als and drinks that made the starving Yang Pengchao and Yue Li drool and finally satisfy their hunger. The desserts and fruits after dinner made the duo move their fingers to feed their mouth while rubbing their bellies while lanting as for how they had been so poor and powerless.
"Young Lady and Sir, please feel free to say if you have other requests. Our Boss has told us that. Also, please receive these two VIP mbership cards as well. The VIP rooms for you two have been prepared and this is the room card. You can rest there at any ti." The tall and gorgeous Paradise Club’s staffer said with a chuckle.
"Your Boss?" asked Yang Pengchao curiously. "You an, the owner of this Paradise Manor?"
"That’s right, our Boss," answered the female staffer.
"But... we didn’t even know who your Boss was," said Yang Pengchao with a puzzled expression. "Why did he give us VIP mbership cards? Is it because of the arrangent of Mr. Tang?"
"Is this Mr. Tang you said nad Tang Xiu?" asked the female staffer.
"Yeah!" Yang Pengchao nodded.
"Our Boss is surnad Ouyang and she’s Mr. Tang’s girlfriend, so the staffers here also call him Boss. The reception for you two is what he has arranged for you."
Yang Pengchao was inwardly startled. He never imagined that such a luxurious and upscale Paradise Manor was actually established by Tang Xiu’s girlfriend. Was this also his industry?
"Mr. Tang is truly great," sighed Yue Li heartfeltly. "He can be said to have the wealth of an entire nation."
"Yeah, I think the Forbes ranking list that is evaluated publicly and always announced annually is incorrect." Yang Pengchao nodded in agreent and said, "Mr. Tang is definitely at the top of the list."
"Well, our Boss doesn’t like to be in the lilight, though," said the female staffer with a smile.
Ding, ding...
During their conversation, Yang Pengchao’s handset ringtone sounded. When he took his phone out and opened the text he just received, he was dumbfounded all of a sudden.
"1, 2, 3... 9."
"1, 2, 3..."
"1..., ...."
Counting repeatedly three tis, Yang Pengchao muttered with a dull face, "Nine digits? 690 million?"
"What?" Yue Li looked at him in confusion and asked.
Yang Pengchao’s face turned red and his body slightly shivered as he replied with trembling lips, "Yue... Yue Li, just pinch . I think I’m dreaming."
"What exactly is it?" Yue Li asked with a strange expression. "You just looked at your phone and beco like this?"
Yang Pengchao’s tone turned higher and he hurriedly replied, "690 million, more than 690 million! Tang Xiu... Mr. Tang truly keeps his words... he really ordered soone to transfer 100 million US dollars into my account. It’s more than 690 million if it’s converted to Chinese yuan. What a good person! He’s really a good, great man!"
Yue Li rushed to his side and read the text several tis before sighing with overjoy, "A gentleman’s words are truly precious and weighed like a mountain. Mr. Tang is truly honest and sincere. Pengchao, you must work well for him in the future. I firmly believe he can give you a brilliant future."
Yang Pengchao firmly nodded and replied with all seriousness, "I will. Definitely."
At the entrance to Paradise Manor.
Mo Xiaohan was dressed beautifully in a way that showed her youthfulness as she carried her bag and headed to the entrance. Her eyes, however, were constantly focusing at Jin Shi who was in front of her with a pounding heart.
This man... truly had a macho style!
This guy was not handso but was definitely cool. She had long passed the age of being a shy teenage girl and had seen so many handso guys. But she found that those handso n she saw before were worse than this security guard in front of her now.
’If this lady’s jade chicken is genuine and gets 100 million US dollars, I’ll be sure to nail this Cool Uncle and make him do nothing in the future. I’ll just watch this cool guy do the laundry, cook and wait upon .’
Her thoughts fleeted in fantasy for a while as she unwittingly followed Jin Shi into a spacious, hundreds of square ters wide VIP room. Despite having visited upscale venues, she was still shocked by its interior decoration.
"Hey, Cool Uncle, what’s your na?"
"My na has nothing to do with you, right? You should just wait here. I’ve already inford my Boss; he’ll co here to see you soon," replied Jin Shi indifferently.
After that, he turned and headed to the VIP room’s door.
Mo Xiaohan raised her hand, but no words ca out of her mouth. Right as Jin Shi was about to disappear from the room’s door, only then did she have the courage to say aloud, "Hey, Cool Uncle! When you are tired with your security job, after I get 100 million US dollars, I’ll support you in the future!"
"..."
Jin Shi, who just stepped out of the door, staggered and almost fell. He was at a loss whether he had to laugh or cry before he stared at Mo Xiaohan and left quickly.
A few minutes later, Tang Xiu ca to the VIP room and looked at the pretty young lady, Mo Xiaohan. Then he smiled and said, "Hello, I’m Tang Xiu, the person who is looking for the zodiac jade carvings. May I know how I should address you, Miss?"
"My surna is Mo," said Mo Xiaohan. "Anyways, it’s kinda strange, though. Why do you look familiar? Also, your na is... Tang Xiu? It seems like the na of a very kind divine doctor..."
Her voice abruptly stopped and Mo Xiaohan’s bright pupils instantly turned into saucers as she was shocked. She exclaid, "I rember you. You’re the Young Divine Doctor, Tang Xiu!"
"Yeah, it’s ," said Tang Xiu smilingly.
"Well, is it necessary for you to spend 100 million US dollars just to buy zodiac jade carvings? Oh, God! How are you so rich? That’s not right, though. You don’t just spend 100 million US dollars since you still need ten zodiac jade carvings, no? Then... aren’t you going to spend a billion US dollars?"
"Oh, please don’t entertain all sorts of ideas," said Tang Xiu with a smile. "Anyways, let’s discuss the deal since we’ve introduced ourselves! You said you have the jade rooster; where is it?"
Mo Xiaohan gulped and asked in an anxious and doubtful tone, "Would you really give 100 million dollars if I have the jade rooster?"
"I will," said Tang Xiu firmly.
Mo Xiaohan joyfully nodded and took out the red jade rooster from the bag she carried. She handed it to Tang Xiu and said, "This is it."
After receiving and appraising it, Tang Xiu suppressed his joy inwardly and noddingly said, "Yes, this one is the jade rooster from the whole set of zodiac jade carvings. Miss Mo, this jade rooster belongs to from now on. Tell your bank account and I’ll assign soone to transfer your money."
"Great!" Mo Xiaohan suppressed her excitent and nodded before she told Tang Xiu her bank account.
At this mont, Jin Shi, who had just left, returned and quickly ca to Tang Xiu and reported, "There’s another guest who claims to have a zodiac jade carving. Our n are bringing him here."
Tang Xiu’s eyes lit up and replied quickly, "Did he say he brought the zodiac jade carving with him?"
"I asked him that. He said it’s a jade rabbit," said Jin Shi.
Tang Xiu nodded happily and turned to look at Mo Xiaohan, "Miss Mo, you must have rushed from another region to Shanghai, right? If you’d like to, you can have a rest in Paradise Manor. You’re exempted from any expense during your stay here."
"Divine Doctor Tang, can you let have a look at that jade rabbit?" asked Mo Xiaohan quickly.
Tang Xiu hesitated for a mont before he nodded and gave her permission, "You can see it, but you must tell the other party that you’re also the person who brought the jade rooster. After all, supposing that you don’t want to disclose your identity, we want it to keep it secret for your sake."
"Got no problem with that." Mo Xiaohan nodded quickly and said, "I agree."
Imdiately after, Zhang Moyuan hurriedly arrived with the escort of the security guard. He recognized Tang Xiu’s identity the mont he saw him, and, with a bit of an anxious yet excited look, he greeted Tang Xiu.
Tang Xiu smiled at him and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is the previous owner of the jade rooster. If you don’t mind, could you please take out the jade rabbit now?"
Zhang Moyuan nodded to Mo Xiaohan and imdiately took the jade rabbit out and handed it to Tang Xiu. After Tang Xiu appraised it, the object was also a genuine piece of the twelve zodiac jade carvings.
"Mr. Tang, is it exactly what you need?"
"Indeed." Tang Xiu nodded.
Zhang Moyuan excitedly asked, "Then when are you going to..."
As Tang Xiu saw his hesitant look to speak his mind out, he smiled and said, "I understand what you an. Give your bank account and I’ll imdiately transfer the money to you. I’ve already negotiated with the bank about this transaction, so the money will be in your account up to two hours after we transfer it."
"Good. Great!" replied Zhang Moyuan joyfully.
"You can rest assured about the confidentiality issues," said Tang Xiu with a smile. "Also, the two of you have co from afar, so you can rest at our Paradise Manor. All expenses are free of charge."
Zhang Moyuan looked reluctant and replied, "Mr. Tang, is it alright if I say that I don’t need you to keep it confidential?"
"You don’t want to keep it a secret?" Tang Xiu was surprised. "Of course, we can even hold a press conference to announce your real situation to the public if you’d like to."
"Then I’m grateful for that," said Zhang Moyuan seriously. "I want everyone in the whole country to know that I was the previous owner of the jade rabbit and sold it for 100 million US dollars."
"No problem." Tang Xiu readily consented and smilingly asked, "Mr. Zhang, few people want to deliberately publicize after they obtain so riches, though. Care to tell how are you different from others?"
"To tell you honestly, I mainly want those who have refused, despised and even jeered at to see it." Zhang Moyuan said with a bitter face. "I want to tell them that Zhang Moyuan is not driven into a corner and desperate. Before I ca here, my company’s business had been in trouble and the capital chains are kind of in a tight spot with serious problems. I originally borrowed so funds from many friends that I thought were good comrades. Yet, everyone seed to avoid as though I was a plague or sothing. Too many words they uttered that were kinda unpleasant to hear..."
After a while, Tang Xiu finally figured out his motive and was secretly glad inside. It was kind of fortunate for him that Zhang Moyuan’s company was in such a situation and that his friends didn’t lend him money, otherwise, would he even co to Shanghai to sell his jade rabbit to him? It was unlikely.
