Yang Zhigiang was a little scared and nervous. He asked, “Mr. Yang is the second-largest shareholder of the Peninsula Hotel Group, right?”

Yang Chen nodded and replied, “Yes! Didn’t I say when Manager Cheng came that guests should be well-received when they come here to spend money? Doesn’t that mean I’m also part owner of the hotel?”

Oh dear, everyone wanted to slap themselves in the face.

How could they have overlooked such a small detail?

Xu Xiaowan quickly asked, “You’re a shareholder of Baoqing Restaurant and also a shareholder of the Peninsula Hotel. How much money do you actually have?”

“It’s all superficial. Equity is just a concept until it’s converted into cash. Manager Yang, am I right?” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Yang Zhigiang quickly nodded and bowed, replying, “Yes, yes, Mr. Yang is right. I will now explain the knowledge of futures investment to you.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Okay, go ahead.”

…

Originally, after this meal, Xu Xiaowan was going to go with them to Tianmu Investment for an interview.

However, Yang Chen had already spoken to Zhang Long, so she didn’t even need the interview and could directly start working.

Yang Chen sent Xu Xiaowan to Tianmu Investment to complete the entry procedures.

Fang Huihui only took the morning off and had to stay at the company to work in the afternoon.

Xu Xiaowan came out alone, and she would officially start working tomorrow.

Xu Xiaowan asked with a smile, “I didn’t realize your family was so wealthy when we were in school. Other classmates whose families are in business can’t wait to let everyone know. Why is your family so rich, but you still live so frugally?”

“Sigh… don’t even mention it. My girlfriend at the time was Zhao Feifei from the Trade Department. Her family wasn’t well-off. Her father was paralyzed in bed, and her mother took care of him while doing odd jobs, and she also had a younger brother in junior high school. I figured if I married her, I would definitely have to take care of her family. To put it bluntly, her family was a bottomless pit. If I didn’t save more money, how would I support her family in the future?” Yang Chen replied, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart.

If it weren’t for Zhao Feifei, or if he had found a girl from a normal family, Yang Chen could have lived a very carefree life.

But he considered their entire lives together, and Zhao Feifei betrayed him for a rich old man.

Whenever he talked about this, Yang Chen felt sad.

Although this matter had nothing to do with Xu Xiaowan, she was almost moved to tears.

Yang Chen was such a responsible man, hard to find in this world.

If it were any other man, knowing Zhao Feifei’s family situation, they would definitely break up if they weren’t already married.

What kind of family could withstand the burden of her family?

“So, you didn’t tell her how rich you actually are?” Xu Xiaowan asked.

Yang Chen shook his head and replied, “If I had told her, she wouldn’t have exposed her true nature. In hindsight, I should be grateful that I didn’t actually marry someone who would betray me.”

“That’s right, it’s good that you can think that way. She doesn’t know how to cherish you, so she’s not worth you dwelling on. There are plenty of good girls in the world, and you’ll definitely find one if you look carefully,” Xu Xiaowan said meaningfully.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, “Sigh… I don’t want to look for one for now. I’ll wait until my mindset is better. So, where are we going now? Before 12 o’clock, I still

have to listen to you.”

Xu Xiaowan quickly replied, “To thank you for helping me find a new job so smoothly, I’ll treat you to dinner and a movie tonight.”

“Haha… okay! Where are we going now?” Yang Chen replied.

“It’s quite hot. How about we go swimming at Ocean World? You can take me home now, and I’ll get my swimsuit. What do you think?” Xu Xiaowan asked.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, replying, “Okay! Before 12 o’clock, you decide.”

Yang Chen took Xu Xiaowan home to get her swimsuit.

Since they were going swimming, Yang Chen definitely had to bring his swimsuit as well.

He couldn’t just go into the water wearing a shirt and trousers, right?

So, he took Xu Xiaowan back to his house to get his swimsuit.

Arriving at the gate of the Riverside Villa, the guards saw that it was Yang Chen’s car and quickly came out to greet him warmly.

“Welcome home, esteemed owner!”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded to them in response, driving straight in.

Xu Xiaowan was completely shocked. Yang Chen actually lived here?

This was the Riverside Villa district, where the cheapest villa costs at least 100 million [currency not specified, but assumed to be local currency, e.g., RMB].

“Yang Chen, your home is here?” Xu Xiaowan asked.

“Ah, yes,” Yang Chen replied with a smile.

“That’s right, you have the money to invest in Baoqing Restaurant and the Peninsula Hotel, so you can definitely afford a house here,” Xu Xiaowan said, nodding.

What shocked her even more was that Yang Chen actually drove the car onto the bridge leading to Villa No. 1 in the center of the lake.

“Your home is in Villa No. 1?” Xu Xiaowan asked again.

“Ah, yes,” Yang Chen nodded again with a smile.

“Oh my god, I heard that this villa is the most expensive in the entire villa district, costing four or five hundred million,” Xu Xiaowan exclaimed.

“It’s just a house. No matter how expensive it is, it’s just a place to eat and sleep. There’s nothing special about it,” Yang Chen replied.

Yang Chen opened the electric gate, drove the car in, and parked it next to the Bugatti Veyron.

Xu Xiaowan was so shocked that her mouth dropped open. She asked, “Is this your new sports car? B… Bu… Bugatti, is this a Bugatti Veyron?”

Yang Chen opened the door and got out of the car, replying with a smile, “Yes! It’s a Bugatti Veyron. I’m going inside to get my swimsuit. Do you want to come in for a drink?”

Xu Xiaowan nodded and followed Yang Chen inside.

She was like a child from the mountains seeing tall buildings in the city for the first time, her eyes full of curiosity.

Yang Chen living alone in a three-story villa with a basement was too lonely. This place was missing a mistress.

Yang Chen told Xu Xiaowan to get whatever she wanted to drink, and he went upstairs to find his swimsuit.

It was Xu Xiaowan’s first time in such a big villa, and she seemed very restrained.

She didn’t look for anything to drink and just waited for Yang Chen to come downstairs.

Afterward, the two walked out of the villa together.

“Let’s drive the sports car and take you for a spin,” Yang Chen said.

Actually, Xu Xiaowan really wanted Yang Chen to drive the sports car, but she was too reserved to say it.

Now that Yang Chen had taken the initiative to suggest driving the sports car, she quickly nodded in agreement.

Yang Chen had also come from ordinary beginnings, and he knew that ordinary people wanted to experience what it felt like to be in a sports car.

He also knew that Xu Xiaowan was too simple and embarrassed to ask.

So, he took the initiative to suggest driving the sports car to Ocean World.

Young people, who wouldn’t want to sit in a sports car and feel the speed

and passion?

Last time, the system had just rewarded Yang Chen with the [Amazing Driver] skill. At this time, he felt very familiar with driving the sports car, no longer as nervous as before.

Also, because of this skill, Xu Xiaowan found Yang Chen even more charming as she watched him drive.

The system had introduced that the longer Yang Chen drove, the stronger his personal charm would be. In addition, the Bugatti Veyron could add points, and any girl who saw him would be fascinated.

At this time, a Rolls-Royce was driving on the road.

The man in the passenger seat was teaching the woman in the driver’s seat how to drive.

Man: “Drive steadily.”

Woman: “Ugh, I know, are you annoying or what? I’ve been listening to you nag all the way.”

Man: “You just got your license, of course I’m worried.”

Woman: “I know! Oh, honey, there’s a sports car in front. Should we slow down?”

The man took a closer look and saw a Porsche 918. He immediately said with a smile, “A broken car worth a little over a million, he has to give way to us! Honk the horn to remind him.”

The woman did as she was told and honked the horn.

The Porsche 918 in front really did give way.

“Hey, he really gave way. Hehe… interesting. I didn’t expect your car to be so powerful, it even has an automatic lane-clearing function,” the woman said happily.

The man next to her proudly raised his head and said, “Of course, this is a Cullinan [Rolls-Royce SUV], costing over 7 million after everything. How could he not give way? It’s the rule of the road, garbage cars give way to good cars.”

At this time, a Ferrari 488 came up from behind, ignoring the honking.

The woman quickly asked, “Honey, what’s the car behind us? It seems very arrogant.”

The man glanced at it and said, “Ferrari 488, a car worth over 4 million, I’m not giving way! Ignore it, you drive your car.”

The woman nodded and said, “Okay! Honey, your car is amazing! Before, when I saw sports cars on the road, they would zoom away in a flash, very arrogant. Today, I finally got a chance to vent my anger.”

The man was even more proud and said, “You don’t have to be afraid of them anymore. My car is enough to kill most sports cars. Only a very few sports cars are more expensive than my car, but it’s rare for us to encounter them. Those kinds of sports cars are kept at home and cherished, not really driven out to wear them down.”

Because the road conditions weren’t very good, the Ferrari behind didn’t dare to forcibly overtake.

It wasn’t until they passed the traffic light intersection that the Ferrari turned and got rid of the Cullinan.

“Ah, it feels so good. The feeling of suppressing a sports car is even better than sitting in one. Hehe…” the woman said confidently.

After a while, the roar came from behind again.

The woman didn’t even look and said, “It’s another sports car, I’m not giving way, he’ll have to follow me slowly like the Ferrari just now.”

The man laughed and subconsciously glanced at the sports car behind him.

At this time, he felt something was wrong. When the sports car got closer, he finally saw clearly that it was a Bugatti Veyron.

“Beep beep…”

The Bugatti Veyron honked.

There was no reason for a supercar to follow a Cullinan going 20 mph.

The woman said smugly, “What’s the rush? Just follow slowly. A broken sports car, thinking of overtaking our Cullinan? Ridiculous!”

The man quickly said, “You crazy woman, give way quickly! That’s a Bugatti Veyron, a car worth four or five million, enough to buy six or seven of mine. If you drive so slowly, and he accidentally bumps into us when he tries to overtake, we’ll have to pay millions, and the insurance won’t even cover it! Give way quickly, go to the right lane!”

When the woman heard that the sports car behind her cost 40 or 50 million, she panicked.

She had just gotten her license not long ago, and this panic made things worse. She stepped on the gas pedal and drove straight into the green belt.

The Bugatti Veyron roared past.

Xu Xiaowan in the passenger seat asked, “What happened to the car just now? Did you scare the driver by honking?”

“I don’t know. Probably not? How can you drive on the road if you’re so timid?” Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Poor Cullinan owner just wanted to pick up a girl, but now he had to call the dealership to repair the car.

Man: “I told you you couldn’t do it, but you insisted on driving!”

Woman: “Didn’t you say that these kinds of sports cars are only kept at home and cherished, not driven out to wear them down?”

The man looked at the departing Bugatti Veyron and thought, “Which idiot is driving a car like that to pick up girls? Does he even know how to live?”
