I'm Quite Rich
Yudu Ninth Street that never City That Never Sleeps within a city that City That Never Sleeps.
Beautiful women are everywhere.
The atmosphere inside a trendy nightclub, reportedly built at a cost of over 100 million yuan, was very lively.
In one of the booths near the front, three girls were chatting and laughing, one of whom was Guan Jiaqi.
"Okay, let's make this clear first, when my boyfriend comes over later, you're not allowed to ask any questions or be curious, lest you scare him away," Guan Jiaqi emphasized repeatedly.
"We didn't even know you got a boyfriend, and now that we finally get to see him, we can't even ask?" The two pretty girls exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh. "You treat him like a treasure, keep hiding him away."
"What do you know? My boyfriend... is a treasure, of course." Guan Jiaqi raised her fair chin slightly. "Come on, take out your phone first."
What are you doing?
"Lend me some money first! I'm treating my boyfriend to drinks later." Guan Jiaqi's eyes were sly. "Didn't we agree that if any of us got a boyfriend, the others would do their best to help? Sister, help me save face!"
"You're hopeless! How come we never noticed before that you're such a love-struck girl?" The two younger sisters shook their heads and chuckled, both taking out their phones.
A short while later, the transfer arrived, and Guan Jiaqi happily checked her balance.
"Thank you, I'll pay you back as soon as I get my salary next month."
"No rush, we're quite curious, what kind of guy do you value so much?" the blonde girl next to Guan Jiaqi asked curiously.
"Let's see a picture first?" said the chestnut-haired girl with slightly short hair and a cute appearance.
"Photos?" Guan Jiaqi blinked, a hint of nervousness flashing in her eyes. "Oh dear, the real person will be here soon. Photos can't compare to seeing the real thing. Just wait and see, I guarantee you'll be stunned."
The two girls rolled their eyes, utterly exasperated.
This booth must have a minimum spending requirement, and the sales staff asked about it several times, so I'm a little worried.
"Stop asking, wait for someone, wait for someone, we'll order drinks when they arrive."
"How about this, you bring a couple of bottles of sparkling wine, and we'll start by having some."
The saleswoman, bowing and smiling obsequiously, said, "Oh, sister, that's not what I meant. How about this... I'll go get you a fruit platter and some snacks first. No rush for the wine, we can talk about it when your friend arrives."
Before he could finish speaking, an arm was draped over his shoulder.
"Let me have a turn, buddy."
Inside the booth, the three of them looked up at the tall figure in front of them, and then watched as he sat down next to Guan Jiaqi.
The other two girls sat up straight, looking somewhat restrained.
"Where's the alcohol? Haven't you ordered it yet?" Zhang Yang glanced at the empty table, then at the marketing guy still standing there dumbfounded. "You, come and get it."
The marketing guy seemed to wake up from a dream, and bowed with a forced smile.
"Brother, please tell me."
"Hmm, a bottle, please..." Zhang Yang glanced at Guan Jiaqi, who was watching expectantly, "Let's make this clear, is it really on you?"
"Ah? Yes, it's my treat." Guan Jiaqi snapped out of her daze and leaned closer to sit down. "It's definitely my treat, don't be shy! Today I'll show you the generosity of Yudu girl!"
"Alright then." Zhang Yang nodded.
He's no longer price-sensitive; he doesn't know what's expensive or cheap. Adding or subtracting a zero doesn't really matter.
If it were up to him to treat, it would be simple and straightforward, without needing to look at the price. But since the girl insisted on treating, he had no choice but to take a look at the price.
We can't put the girl in a difficult position, can we?
If it's too expensive, it puts the girl in a difficult position; if it's too cheap, she'll feel like she's being looked down upon.
"Then let's have this... Belle Époque Package." Zhang Yang casually ordered a set meal.
Six bottles are enough for four people.
As for the price... well, it's less than ten thousand, a little over nine thousand.
It's simply unbelievable that you'd expect a super-rich person like him, who can earn tens of thousands a minute and works non-stop 24/7, to put his heart and soul into a drink that costs nine thousand or ten thousand yuan.
He really was considerate of this girl's feelings.
"Huh?" Guan Jiaqi was slightly taken aback.
The two younger sisters standing beside her also had trembling eyelashes, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Then how about I..." Zhang Yang immediately went to pay.
"No... I'll treat you." Guan Jiaqi hurriedly pulled out her phone, insisting on paying.
Zhang Yang didn't argue with her and let her pay.
The marketing guy standing to the side could only feel admiration.
Good looks really do matter.
Not to mention··
He used the lamplight to look at the boy in front of him, bathed in the nightclub lights. His profile, his features, his physique, and more importantly... his unparalleled charisma.
With looks like that, let alone them, even rich heiresses would be scrambling to pay for her services.
Being a kept man is certainly not a respectable thing to do.
However, to reach a certain level of success in being a kept man, to the point where he can have anyone, from young girls to wealthy heiresses, with girls begging him to be his mistress, is an unprecedented and unparalleled skill.
"Dude, you're awesome!" he thought to himself.
A moment later, the wine arrived.
Zhang Yang casually opened a bottle and gave each of the girls a glass to drink.
Of course, nightclubs get boring after a while, but since I haven't been in a long time, it's a rare treat to go out again, and you know what? I actually got really into it.
"Come on, Zhang Yang, cheers." Guan Jiaqi held up her wine glass, looking at Zhang Yang with sparkling eyes.
"Cheers." Zhang Yang lightly clinked glasses with her. "Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble today."
"Oh, it's alright. We're out having fun, so let's have some fun." Guan Jiaqi, wearing a low-cut top, gently patted her fair chest. "If you really feel bad about it, you can treat me another day."
The two younger sisters beside him sipped their drinks and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Is he really her boyfriend? They don't seem to know each other at all."
"Who knows? Maybe they just want us to help them out, but they're too embarrassed to say it. This little darling is so proud, but it's better to say it than not..."
The two girls simultaneously stole a glance at his profile under the nightclub lights.
"He's really... so handsome and has such a great presence."
He wasn't the kind of conventionally handsome man, nor was he the kind of effeminately beautiful; he truly had striking features, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an elegant, refined air, as if he were a celestial being.
Are celestial beings something that mortals like them can even come into contact with?
If it were them, they would also spend the money willingly.
Zhang Yang kept his purpose in mind. The other party had said that they wanted him to come and help them save face. He could spend the money himself, but he would naturally cooperate in other aspects.
If you're going to be my boyfriend, then I should be a good one.
After a couple of drinks, he put his arm around the waist of the Yudu girl, and they clasped hands, making Guan Jiaqi blush with joy and her eyes watery.
"Handsome, let me toast you too."
Guan Jiaqi's best friend couldn't contain herself and leaned in, raising her wine glass.
"I heard you're a photographer?"
"Me? A photographer?" Zhang Yang glanced at Guan Jiaqi, who looked a little nervous. "Oh yes, I'm a photographer."
"Here, let me show you the street photos Zhang Yang took of me today." Guan Jiaqi took the opportunity to pull out her phone and showed off the street photos Zhang Yang had taken of her that day. "How about it, are they good or not?"
"Wow, that's pretty good, the atmosphere is fantastic."
"I'm so envious... Having a boyfriend like that would make you look absolutely stunning when you go out."
The two younger sisters' words were filled with undisguised envy.
Imagine having a boyfriend like this, who can take stunning photos anytime, anywhere, with amazing effects and a fantastic atmosphere. It sounds wonderful!
"However, I've heard that photography is very expensive."
"Expensive?" Zhang Yang replied casually, "No, I'm not short of money, I don't feel the need to."
The girls covered their mouths and chuckled softly, saying nothing.
"Don't believe me?" Zhang Yang said with a smile, "How about I order ten or eight sets of Divine Dragon to show you?"
"No, I believe you." Guan Jiaqi smiled and moved closer. "Being a photographer definitely won't be cheap, I believe you, but I'd rather not do ten or eight sets of Divine Dragon..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the nightclub erupted in a commotion.
"Young Master Xie? It really is!"
"Young Master Xie has changed girlfriends again!"
Inside the nightclub, cheers roared in, and in the distance, a group of people surrounded a fair-skinned boy with a small pompadour haircut, like a star being fawned over the moon.
The guy had his arm around a girl, with a group of followers around him, and even the nightclub manager or someone else was bending over to lead the way.
They were surrounded by a large entourage and made quite a spectacle of themselves, heading straight to the best booth at the very front.
"No wonder the booth has been empty; it was reserved for Young Master Xie," two girls remarked from a distance inside the booth.
"Quite a grand affair," Zhang Yang remarked with a smile.
"After all, he's the young master of Yujiang Real Estate, how could he not have a grand entrance?" Guan Jiaqi whispered in Zhang Yang's ear, "If he's in a good mood, he could really order eight or ten Divine Dragons."
"Yujiang Real Estate?" Zhang Yang chuckled.
It turns out he's Chairman Sun's son.
I'd heard that Sun Hongjun had two sons. The elder son worked for a group company; I'd met him when I visited their headquarters last time. As for the younger son, was this the man standing before me?
Zhang Yang glanced at the child's aloof and weary expression, a nonchalant air that came from having satisfied all desires—an expression unique to the super-rich second generation.
To put it bluntly, they've long been tired of basic desires, such as beautiful women, luxury cars, and mansions.
But higher desires... well, I don't have the ability to reach them.
Therefore, he had no choice but to continue indulging in wine and women every day, and to continue to be hopelessly addicted to base desires.
"Look, he actually ordered it." Guan Jiaqi pointed in the distance.
Sure enough, the long line of people walking towards them in the distance, with an endless Ace of Spades, vaguely reminded Zhang Yang of extremely distant memories.
This seems like... he played it a long, long time ago.
Asking him to pull this stunt now would be really awkward; he just can't do it.
His current understanding of pomp and circumstance has long since transformed into a procession led by military jeeps with machine guns mounted in front, followed by armed security personnel in bulletproof vests, with a long, entourage.
Surrounded by a group of sycophantic lackeys, is this considered... a grand display?
"Okay, so there's a generation gap, huh?"
Zhang Yang chuckled, looked away, and focused on drinking his wine.
"You deliberately avoided seeing him, didn't you?" Guan Jiaqi threw herself into her arms. "A man's pride... You're inferior to him in every way except for money, you're way ahead of him, okay? What's there to be bothered about?"
"Deliberately avoiding seeing him? Holding a grudge?" Zhang Yang chuckled, "Is it really that big of a deal? I told you, I'm genuinely rich."
"Ten or eight sets of Divine Dragon?" Guan Jiaqi boldly kissed Zhang Yang's lips.
"A hundred or eighty sets will do." Zhang Yang glanced at Guan Jiaqi, who was clearly a little tipsy, and probably already had a idea of what would happen tonight.
As expected.
"Liar... um." Guan Jiaqi scolded softly, tilting her face up, her face already flushed and alluring.
From the moment the invitation was extended, everything was already tacitly understood.
Zhang Yang also planned to make a splash in Yudu, signaling his return to China.
Now that we've shared drinks, the distance between us has been bridged.
Most importantly, it's getting late.
"The wine is for you, we'll head back now." Zhang Yang glanced at his two sisters, who were blushing and constantly peeking over, and said with a smile, "You guys keep playing?"
"No more playing, it's too late." The two younger sisters waved their hands in unison.
"Let's go together then."
Outdoors, under the night sky.
Behind the three was the hustle and bustle of the nightclub, and in front of them was the brightly lit Ninth Street and a gentle evening breeze.
Zhang Yang called a car for the two girls, and then waved for a car for himself.
··
"Raffles InterContinental? You've got some pretty fancy accommodations." Guan Jiaqi exclaimed, covering her mouth.
"I didn't pay attention, I just picked one randomly." Zhang Yang pulled Guan Jiaqi straight to the Crystal Corridor Lobby on the 42nd floor.
There are countless top-tier hotels in Yudu. With his current wealth and status, he doesn't need to specifically find the most luxurious hotel or stay in the most expensive suite to show off his status.
Everything revolves around doing whatever you want.
Inside the InterContinental Suite, as soon as they entered the room, Guan Jiaqi took the initiative to kiss him.
Zhang Yang casually closed the door, then, amidst Guan Jiaqi's startled scream, he scooped her up and carried her into the bathroom.
That evening, from the sixty-plus-story building, the Yudu was laid out before you.
Outside the window, the dazzling, sleepless Yudu of Chongqing stretched out before me. The lights inside were off, but the glow of the lights outside reflected on my smooth, white back and the dimples of my waist.
Zhang Yang felt relaxed and comfortable, smoking a cigarette while looking down at the viewer.
While galloping, my soul felt incredibly clear and transparent.
Only now did he truly experience the feeling of returning home.
Yes, I'm finally back home.
That familiar feeling is back!
··
The next morning, Zhang Yang opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
It was truly an unforgettable night.
He thoroughly experienced the fiery and passionate enthusiasm of the girls in Yudu throughout the night, making him even more reluctant to leave this city.
Weiwei sat up slightly, glanced at Guan Jiaqi who was showing large expanses of skin, smiled, and stood up in front of the window.
The foggy city at dawn, with the Yangtze River and Jialing River flowing and converging.
Street scenes and cityscapes along the two rivers and four banks.
And there were also rustling sounds behind me.
The next second, a pair of fair arms wrapped around my waist, and I felt the softness and touch of skin against skin against my back.
"Did I wake you up?" Zhang Yang turned around and smiled.
"No, that's just my biological clock." Guan Jiaqi laughed and hugged Zhang Yang from the front, nestling against his chest. "How much longer are you going to stay in Yudu?"
"Soon."
"Huh?" Guan Jiaqi's eyes showed considerable disappointment. "That's true. If you were going to stay here, you would have rented a place instead of living in a hotel."
"I wouldn't need to rent a room if I'm not staying in a hotel, would I?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"You're not going to buy a house, are you?" Guan Jiaqi said with a smile. "Stubborn man, you know you're rich, right? Come on, let's see how stubborn you really are."
She stood on tiptoe and kissed him again.
