Chapter 123 – 121 The Gentleman as Jade
The middle-aged man nad Danny carried the politeness and humility of a dieval nobleman. He was dressed in a proper black suit, standing tall with a square face, and even his slightly hoarse voice conveyed maturity and steadiness.
He was a man who exuded noble qualities, yet here, he was rely a butler.
The lush garden was filled with intoxicating floral scents, and from atop a faux mountain so ten ters high, a clear stream cascaded down like a waterfall, while birds chirped from the branches of tall trees.
Xiao Shan, holding her smartphone, pointed the cara at the picturesque scenery all around.
Since there were many people around, it wasn’t convenient for her to speak. Occasionally she would glance at the barrage of comnts and would respond by simply nodding or shaking her head.
Guided by the middle-aged butler and eight maids behind her, they walked along a flower-lined avenue. As they passed the huge faux mountain, Xiao Shan made a point to aim her cara at the clear pond beneath it.
There were fish swimming in the shimring pond, and she lingered her gaze a bit longer, intending to move on, but suddenly, she noticed soone sent a special effects comnt on her phone screen.
By now, the room had attracted five or six thousand viewers. The comnts from general fans were dense, and Xiao Shan simply couldn’t read them all—it was only when a fan sent a particularly expensive gift that they could send conspicuous comnts with special effects.
A fan nad “Autumn Leaves” had just sent a super rocket, a valuable gift worth 2,500 RMB, then followed with a special effects comnt.
“Host, can you show the fish in the pond more clearly? I think the ones in there are Platinum Arowanas.”
Xu Shanshan, who was about to leave, paused slightly, feeling obliged to fulfill the request of the fan who had just sent an expensive gift.
She once again aid the cara at the pond, zooming in closer this ti to capture a clearer image.
Then, without a second word, the fan nad Autumn Leaves began sending 2,500 RMB worth of the rocket props non-stop, spending at least tens of thousands of RMB in just a short while.
Naturally, the chat exploded with fans sending comnts exalting the big spender.
After a while, having sent a dozen rockets, Autumn Leaves finally stopped, and a colorful comnt then appeared on the screen.
“I’m nothing but a small-ti spender; the real big spender is the owner of this estate. Forget about the butler and the maids, just the fish in this pond…
They are Platinum Arowanas worth 300,000 RMB each, and the pond is teeming with them, perhaps several dozen or close to a hundred. For those good at math, calculate how much these Platinum Arowanas in the pond are worth.”
As the colorful comnt faded away, the room once again erupted into frenzy, with a mix of comnts and gifts flooding the screen.
Thanks to the benefits of the rocket props, the number of fans in the room skyrocketed to over fifty or sixty thousand in just a short while.
Xu Shanshan took a deep, lingering look at the pond before her. When she realized those freely swimming fish were worth tens of millions in total, she felt a slight dizziness in her mind.
She swallowed hard, turned, and briskly followed after the figure ahead.
After rounding the faux mountain, a huge, luxurious three-story villa ca into view.
Xu Shanshan imdiately directed her cara at the villa, and when she saw the enormous swimming pool in front of it, a sparkle of excitent lit her eyes.
It was the heat of sumr now, and to swim in this massive pool…
That would undoubtedly be a heavenly life.
Before she could focus the cara on the swimming pool, she suddenly noticed that around the villa, a dozen serious-faced security guards in black were dispersed around the area, and at the entrance to the villa’s main hall, six tall guards over two ters in height stood in two rows like statues.
Xu Shanshan felt an involuntary tremor in her heart, especially when one of the n in black gave her a sharp glance. She who had been looking around freely stiffened uncontrollably.
She lowered her head slightly, daring not to look around carelessly anymore.
“Is this the principal’s ho?”
“Will we get to see the richest man soon?”
“Is this what wealthy people’s lives are like?”
“Host, quickly show us those beautiful young ladies, the maids are aweso.”
…
The barrage of comnts on the phone was already so nurous it dazzled the eyes, and various gifts were flying off the shelves.
Since the broadcast began, including the ti spent exchanging pleasantries at the door, only six or seven minutes had passed, yet the number of fans in the room had reached a terrifying hundred thousand plus. Due to the popularity boost from various rocket props, a continuous stream of fans was still joining the broadcast.
Xu Shanshan took a special look at her fan count.
Six million nine hundred seventy thousand.
An increase of ten thousand fans.
She lagged a couple of steps behind and then brought the phone to her mouth, introducing in a low voice:
“This isn’t the headmaster’s house; I’m here to et a big-shot with the headmaster. However, this big-shot is quite mysterious, belonging to the true hidden tycoons—those you can’t find information about online. I can’t possibly show his face to everyone, at most, just so shots of the tycoon’s luxurious mansion. Please understand.”
After she spoke, she aid the phone’s cara at herself, not daring to film recklessly, but at that mont, the deep voice of the middle-aged butler suddenly rose.
“Guests, please co inside, Mr. Chu is waiting.”
Xu Shanshan, who had taken a few steps forward, now stood alongside Zhang Dongdong.
Her face was slightly flushed, as if she was about to et her idol, with bright, sparkling eyes shining brilliantly.
Walking into the living room.
Again, six maids stood respectfully in the luxurious hall.
There were more than a dozen maids in total.
Her anticipation grew stronger.
“Young Master Zhang graces us with his presence; we are unworthy of such a visit…”
Xu Shanshan’s gaze instantly fell on the man who was speaking.
He was a young man dressed in tasteful casual clothing.
Tall and erect, his sharply chiseled cheeks were rugged, his nose prominent, lips slightly thin, and his facial features were three-dinsional and vivid.
The gold rimless glasses on his nose added a gentle and refined quality to him, and his soft, flowing short hair made him even more handso, the kind that could make the hearts of most girls flutter.
Xu Shanshan stopped in her tracks at the door, her bright eyes fixed, unblinking, on the handso and imposing man in front of her. Unlike the stiff and serious image she had imagined, the man before her exuded a gentle and elegant deanor, with an aura so comforting that it made one want to draw near.
Is this the real hidden tycoon?
Must be the ’Gentleman as Fine as Jade’ they talk about.
While Xu Shanshan’s heart was aflutter, Zhang Dongdong, standing beside her, took the initiative to step forward and introduce:
“Mr. Chu, this is my companion Xiao Shan, she is an internet hostess. I hope she won’t disturb your peace.”
The tall and gentle man in front of them chuckled lightly, his voice calm and magnetic.
“Not at all.”
Taking hurried breaths, Xu Shanshan blushed deeply. She stole a glance at her phone screen.
In the live broadcast room, as the young man’s voice resounded, the entire room had completely exploded, with so many comnts that the phone started to lag.
