I, the New Chairman of Tomson Riviera
Xu Bing's phone clattered to the floor. She stared at Lu Yuan in disbelief. "You donated 1.2 million to our school today, and just now you spent another 960,000. Y-you spent 2.16 million today?!"
Lu Yuan wore an easy smile. "It's just a little pocket change. Nothing to be surprised about!"
His easy smile and casual tone drove everyone in the boutique crazy. How could he be so nonchalant?
Xu Bing swallowed hard, remembering how she had just insulted him as a poor loser. If he was a poor loser, what did that make her?
That woman who had left Lu Yuan over money—was she an idiot? To give up a tycoon like him! Wait, did Xu Bing still have a chance?
Xu Bing hurriedly said, "Brother Lu Yuan, did you recently break up? What do you think of me? Can I be your girlfriend? Don't worry, I know some big sisters at school. I can help look after our Shishi too!"
Lu Yuan saw right through her. She was after his money. Even if he were looking for a woman, there was no way he would choose someone who had bullied his sister.
Lu Yuan coldly turned her down. "No need!"
Lu Yuan, his sister, and her two roommates bought quite a few more things before leaving Financial Street.
"Shishi, when Xu Bing saw your brother spend 960,000, her face looked like she'd eaten shit. That was so satisfying!"
"Someone should've put her in her place ages ago. That'll teach her to show off!"
"With that snake-spirit internet celebrity face and makeup that was flaking right off, she still wanted to chase after our Brother Lu? Ugh! I'm going to be sick!"
Lu Shishi looked at her brother Lu Yuan in confusion. "Brother, you said you recently came into a windfall. Did you buy a lottery ticket?"
"No, I picked up an antique for a bargain and sold it for some money," Lu Yuan explained.
But Lu Shishi looked at him and asked curiously, "Brother, you're spending so lavishly. Just how much did your antique sell for?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and gave her a compromise figure. "About 1.5 or 1.6 billion!"
"Gulp. H-how much?"
"1.5 or 1.6 billion!"
Lu Yuan didn't say that he had ten trillion in assets in his account. She probably wouldn't have believed him if he had.
Lu Shishi had considered five million, even fifty million, but she hadn't expected her brother to have more than a billion in assets. That figure truly gave her a fright.
Lu Shishi lectured Lu Yuan. "Brother! Even if you have more than a billion, you can't spend it recklessly. It's not like you can buy an antique and make a fortune every time... You need to save that money to buy a house and a car, and to get married someday!"
Lu Yuan laughed. "All right, all right! But, little girl, I've already bought us a home, at Tomson Riviera in Magic City. I'll take you over to see it."
"Brother, what did you say? Tomson Riviera?!" Lu Shishi and her roommates were shocked once again.
Tomson Riviera was where Magic City's rich lived. It was known as the number one luxury residence in the country.
To view a home there, you had to provide proof of assets worth over a hundred million, or you couldn't even enter the complex. Even the cheapest units cost over a hundred million each.
Lu Yuan nodded. "That's right, Tomson Riviera. I bought you a unit too. We're going to transfer it to your name now. I bought you all a pile of things, and there probably isn't room for them at school, so you can put them in the home I bought you."
When Lu Yuan received the Tomson Riviera home in the school district, he had been registered in the complex's facial recognition system as its chairman.
So the group made it through without any trouble.
The grounds of Tomson Riviera felt fresh, and the landscaping was excellent.
Lu Yuan took his sister and the others straight to the Tomson Riviera sales office and found the sales manager. "Please transfer the unit in building 1, number 2, to my sister Lu Shishi's name."
"Sir, please show me your property ownership certificate!"
Lu Yuan didn't have a paper certificate yet, only an electronic version, so he opened a mini-program on his phone. "This is my electronic property ownership certificate."
After taking the phone, the sales manager could no longer remain calm. She stared fixedly at the lines on the screen.
Owner: Lu Yuan! Phone number ending in 6185... ID number ending in 0317!
It was him!!!
Just that morning, the sales manager had received a document from the previous chairman telling her that the chairman had changed and instructing her to enter the new chairman's information.
When she entered it, the last digits of Lu Yuan's phone and ID numbers had made a particularly deep impression on her.
"Chairman Lu..."
Before the sales manager could finish, Lu Yuan interrupted her. "Don't say what you shouldn't!"
"O-okay, Chairman Lu... M-Mr. Lu, I'll handle the transfer for you right away!"
The women in the sales office glanced curiously at the electronic ownership certificate, and their breathing quickened too.
The change of chairman at Tomson Riviera had caused quite a stir that morning. Many people in the sales office knew about it, and they had been curious to see the new chairman's true face.
They hadn't expected the new chairman to be standing in front of them that afternoon.
The chairman was so young and handsome. His face was well-proportioned, his physique had shapely lines, and his complexion was natural. His brows, eyes, and features were far better-looking than those of the pretty boys in idol dramas.
He was gentle without lacking masculine vigor, and the smile on his face felt like a warm spring breeze. Most importantly, he was also very rich: he had acquired all of Tomson Riviera.
"Mr. Lu! Could we add each other on WeChat and get to know each other?"
A pretty young woman with wavy hair, a white blouse, black shorts, and skin-colored stockings fluttered her lovely eyelashes at Lu Yuan.
But Lu Yuan turned her down. "I'm usually very busy. I don't have time for that."
Lu Yuan didn't like this kind of street pickup. With his current net worth of ten trillion, what kind of top-notch woman couldn't he have?
There was no need to compromise himself for a moment's pleasure.
The saleswoman who had failed to get his WeChat and the other saleswomen all felt a pang of disappointment. In the past, all they had needed to do was sway their waists and open their collars a little wider, and those men were usually theirs for the taking.
It was the first time they had been refused when asking to add someone on WeChat, and deep down, they couldn't help feeling a little more defeated.
With the newly appointed chairman there in person, the sales manager swiftly completed all the formalities.
Led by the sales manager, Lu Yuan, his sister, and the others arrived at a spacious luxury residence.
The residence was over eight hundred square meters. The entrance had excellent natural light, and the bright, large room held an opulent European aristocratic-style dining table and chairs, along with an open kitchen.
Standing before the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, they could see the twinkling night lights, the towering buildings, and the traffic coming and going on Jiangwan Bridge. The splendor of the entire city lay before their eyes.
The residence had every facility imaginable: a private pool, a screening room, a billiard room, a piano area, a study, and a study room. Whatever one could think of, it was there.
Lu Shishi and her classmates were all stunned.
Although they had watched videos of Tomson Riviera's luxury residences online, experiencing it so close up still left them awed by its grandeur.
Lu Yuan smiled at his sister. "Shishi, study hard in this study room from now on. When you're tired of studying, go for a swim, watch a movie, practice the piano, or play billiards with your friends!"
"Or stand outside the window and look at Magic City's night view!"
Lu Shishi could hardly keep her composure. "Brother, isn't this way too big...? Does it feel this good to be rich?"
Lu Yuan dotingly stroked Lu Shishi's head. "Yes, being rich really does feel great. As long as you have money, you can buy anything. You have to study hard, and one day you can have all this through your own efforts!"
"I'll do my best, Brother! Once I get into a good university and make lots of money, I'll buy you a big villa, and then I'll give you a private plane too!"
