Chapter 211 – 163 The Tycoon’s Son’s Misstep
“Hey! Mr. Chu, I’ve already arrived at the Kairo Building… You’ll be here in ten minutes? No worries, it’s my fault for coming early. I’ll wait for you by the entrance…
Okay, okay, we’ll keep in touch.”
It was 4:20 in the afternoon at the entrance to the Kairo Building in the city, Zhang Dongdong took off his huge sunglasses from his nose and put away his latest model mobile phone.
He had just been on the phone with Chu Mo, the current owner of the Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel.
The two had agreed to et at 4:30 pm at the Kairo Building, and Zhang Dongdong had taken the initiative to arrive ten minutes early.
As the son of the richest man, Zhang Dahua, being on ti for an appointnt was considered giving the other party face. Arriving early to wait for soone was a rare experience for Zhang Dongdong.
He was wearing a casual suit from a French brand, formal yet not too stiff, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone, casually chatting with soone via WeChat.
Despite the huge black sunglasses covering half his face, Zhang Dongdong, known as the ’entertainnt industry’s inspector,’ was still highly recognizable.
From ti to ti, people passing by would turn their gazes towards him.
Of course, this was the entrance to the prestigious Triumph Club in the city, where only the upper echelons co and go. Even if he were recognized, no one would co up and disturb him.
Although the son of the richest man had a noticeable status, to be honest, compared to others who frequented this place, he was just average.
The mid-August sun was still brutally harsh, and standing at the entrance of the building without any shade, plus wearing a warm casual suit, made his body feel sowhat hot and agitated.
However, there wasn’t the slightest impatience on Zhang Dongdong’s face.
He wasn’t with those fair-weather friends indulging in food and drink; this ti, he was eting with a super tycoon whose status was far from equal to his own.
Although it had only been a short ti since he had visited with an internet-famous girl, in less than a month, the tycoon had already pocketed the Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel, worth more than 20 billion.
Zhang Dongdong had heard from his father that the tycoon, while acquiring Tianxiangyuan, had also reached a preliminary agreent with another hotel valued at tens of billions, and the contract would be finalized by early September at the latest.
This ant that, including Bafang International, the city’s Financial Tower, Tianyi Hotel, Tianxiang Garden, and Wanhua International Hotel, which had reached a preliminary agreent, the tycoon’s plan for a hundred-billion chain hotel empire outlined three months ago was now almost 80% complete.
By the end of the year at the latest, with Bafang International at its core, including the Financial Tower’s coverage of Lujiazui and Tianxiang Garden’s inclusion of The Bund, the most central location in the city, all five-star hotels and above will be under the na of Chu.
A new hundred-billion dynasty thus rose to prominence in the upper echelons of the city in less than half a year.
For Zhang Dongdong, the fact that such a newly-minted super heavyweight tycoon took the initiative to et him was definitely sothing to be treated with utmost seriousness.
Two minutes later, Zhang Dongdong received another call.
Soon, a tall and glamorous woman in high heels hurried towards him.
“I’m so sorry, I got held up in traffic. I had to run the last stretch… I hope I’m not late.”
The woman, dressed in an off-shoulder sheath dress, had a slightly flushed face, wearing a pair of light pink high-heeled sandals, her height nearly equal to Zhang Dongdong’s when in heels.
The tall and sultry woman’s cheeks glistened with a fine layer of sweat due to her rush here.
With a mild expression, Zhang Dongdong took a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped her cheeks, saying with a chuckle,
“Shan Shan, your timing is perfect. Coming too early would have ant waiting here with . I just contacted that big shot, and he should arrive in another two or three minutes.”
“That’s good, that’s good. I wouldn’t dare to make soone like him wait for .”
Xu Shanshan, fanning her warm cheeks with her hand, took deep breaths trying to calm her racing little heart.
She had received a call from Zhang Dongdong at noon, saying they were going to et with the sa big shot they had seen last ti at Emperor Xuan Villas and that she should join them, which left her feeling heady.
The girl nad Xu Shanshan stood next to the son of the richest man, her eyes scanning the bustling street in front of her. After a mont of observation and seeing no sign of activity, she cautiously asked,
“Young Master Zhang, is it appropriate for to be here? I must have been a disturbance at the villa last ti.”
Naturally wrapping his arm around her slender waist, he brushed a stray hair behind her ear, the eyes hidden behind his sunglasses carrying a hint of pride as Zhang Dongdong softly said,
“What’s inappropriate about that? Shan Shan, you are now my girlfriend. Isn’t it only right that I take my girlfriend out with ?”
At his words, the girl, with a touch of shyness on her face, slightly lowered her head and replied softly,
“But I haven’t agreed to be your girlfriend yet.”
Zhang Dongdong didn’t say much more, just tightened the arm looped around her slender waist a little, and instantly, her soft body was pressed against his.
The internet live-strear nad Xu Shanshan was the girl Zhang Dongdong had spent the most ti on. From the first ti he saw her on the streaming platform, showering her with tens of thousands in gifts, to eting her in person a month ago, it was only in the past few days that he had managed to win her over.
As for what she said about agreeing to be his girlfriend…
What needed to be done had already been done, and perhaps in a few months’ ti, she might wish to take the initiative to be his girlfriend, but by then, he might already have soone else by his side.
Zhang Dongdong didn’t care about these things; he just enjoyed the present. As for the future… he hadn’t thought that far, or perhaps, his future was already predetermined.
As the sole son of Zhang Dahua, the wealthiest man, and the crown prince of Wanlin Corporation, the inheritance of the family business was almost inevitable. When that ti ca, to be as carefree as now would certainly be impossible.
Therefore, while the springti of life was still splendid, reveling in it was the most important thing for Zhang Dongdong.
He fixed his gaze upon the enchanting face of the girl in front of him, and he had to admit that even though he had dated many girls, and flirted with countless top live strears and internet celebrities, this girl nad Xu Shanshan was indeed the most special one.
It wasn’t just her alluring face; her figure was equally great, sothing he hadn’t been able to let go of since trying it out two days ago.
If it were just these qualities, they wouldn’t be enough to bewitch Zhang Dongdong so thoroughly.
The girl by his side was quite different from those vain and competitive won; she had a sensitive heart, like a little rabbit easily startled. Before he had won her over, any intimate gesture from him would et her resistance.
Moreover, this girl had strong self-discipline. When he took her to luxury stores, she would only look around, and after making an entire round, she only bought a lipstick costing one thousand yuan.
Zhang Dongdong had invested more effort in her than any previous girl, and of course, the results were pleasing.
Having successfully made her his two days prior, their relationship was currently in a stage of intensifying feelings. This ti he had brought her along partly because he couldn’t bear to let her be alone but most importantly, he felt that since Shan Shan had already t that big shot before, she wasn’t considered a stranger.
The two waited quietly. When Zhang Dongdong looked at his watch for the second ti, a Rolls-Royce and a Bentley turned the corner in the distance and slowly drove towards them.
“They’re here.”
Zhang Dongdong whispered to his companion, then stood straight.
He took off the sunglasses that had been perched on his nose and carefully adjusted his collar. Once he made sure everything was in order, the leading Rolls-Royce had already stopped not far ahead of them.
Following closely, the door of the Bentley opened, and four tall n, each over two ters in height, quickly got out of the car.
They swiftly surrounded the Rolls-Royce. At the sa ti, two even taller n erged from the driver and passenger seats of the Rolls-Royce, one of whom was as robust as a tower.
Six black-clad bodyguards, all over two ters tall, stood around the Rolls-Royce, exuding a powerful sense of oppression. Xu Shanshan subconsciously moved closer to her male companion, and then, under her unblinking gaze, the black-clad bodyguards opened the car door.
A young man in light-colored casual wear slowly erged from the back seat of the car.
He had clean-cut short hair, wore a pair of golden glasses on his nose, and his face was sculpted and handso. His entire stature was tall and straight.
The youthful man, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, just stood there quietly, causing Xu Shanshan to unconsciously cast a glance at the son of the wealthiest man beside her…
Then suddenly, she felt that Zhang, who was fairly impressive in his own right, seed rather ordinary compared to the formidable man before her, almost like an inconspicuous underling.
Xu Shanshan’s eyes sparkling with little stars, she silently appraised the man before her. This young man of outstanding appearance was not only dignified but also had an unfathomably terrifying worth.
A maid could live in a luxury villa; an entertainnt company worth fifty or sixty billion yuan was left to servants to manage; at least six bodyguards accompanied him when he went out, and he lived in a mansion with a sky-high price tag.
What caliber of woman would be worthy of such a man?
While Xu Shanshan was absorbed in these complex thoughts, the other car door of the Rolls-Royce was also opened, and a stunning figure, as if stepping out of a painting, likewise got out of the car.
At that mont, the sunlight shining down highlighted her cheeks. The woman, clad in a purple robe, seed like a fairy descending from the heavens. Her skin was like snow, her figure graceful, and with willow brows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth…
Her silky hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her cold yet proud eyes sparkled with an intimidating brightness.
The woman of picturesque beauty strolled up to the handso young man’s side, and then the man with the golden glasses said with a beaming smile:
“Mr. Zhang, the road was a bit congested, I hope you haven’t been waiting long.”
As the young man’s voice fell, there was no response, and Xu Shanshan, feeling a tightness in her chest, glanced sideways at her male companion.
Seeing the wealthy heir staring wide-eyed and transfixed at the fairy-like woman opposite, Shan Shan sighed inwardly and gently nudged him with her elbow.
A mont later, Zhang Dongdong, coming back to his senses, hastened forward and exclaid with astonishnt:
“Mr. Chu is truly blessed, only a tycoon like Mr. Chu could be worthy of such a celestial beauty.”
Zhang Dongdong’s complints were rather blunt, but the admiration in his eyes was undeniably sincere.

Behind him, Xu Shanshan, although her lips remained curled in a smile, sighed softly in her heart.
She didn’t bla Zhang Dongdong for his reaction; the girl opposite was beyond her comparison.
That sprite-like celestial being, even as a woman herself, was utterly enchanted by her otherworldly beauty.
