Chapter 232: Chapter 232 The Rich Men’s Paradise

Xingyu’s face blushed and said embarrassedly, “I was misled by Guo Xiang before thinking that you and Miss Mo were a couple, but now I know that you are so infatuated with elder sister Liusu. For her, you were not even tempted by Miss Mo, such an excellent woman, when she was pursuing you, and you would rather give up your future, resign, and leave Fengchang Group. Although others say that rejecting Miss Mo is really silly, for a woman like me, only a silly man like you is the most trustworthy. Although… it is really bad to throw… that kind of thing, but this kind of badness, I think Elder Sister definitely likes it very much.”

The more she talked the more ridiculous it sounded. I was forced to resign, alright! The official explanation was that I had violated company regulations to work with her man. Even if the real reason was revealed, it was definitely not as romantic as what she said.

For the sake of Liusu, I ignored Mo Fei?

I resigned because I wanted to use actions to reject Mo Fei’s fiery pursuit?

…Why did this sound a bit like the situation I was about to face…

Wait a second!I forced myself to calm down, and my mind was thinking fast, organizing my chaotic thoughts. The things Guo Xiang and Xingyu had heard were quite fascinating. What had happened seemed to be explainable in this way, and this kind of explanation was reasonable. However, this was not what really happened. It was totally inconsistent with the facts. What was going on?

I know very well that this legend about me was by no means as simple as misrepresentation. After all, it had spread in the upper-class social circle in just three or four days. The spreading speed was really abnormal. From the speed it was spreading, and the type of audiences that received this news, it was more than enough to prove that someone was deliberately spreading it.

I have tried my best to figure out who would do this. Was someone deliberately targeting me? This did not make any sense! Why would people want to target a nobody? So there were people… targeting Zhang Mingjie?!Indeed, portraying me, a small character into a hero, it could make Master Zhang seem even more incompetent…

But who would do this?

I could not help but feel a chill running down my spine. In Fengchang, besides Mo Yizhi, was there anyone who dared to target the Zhang family? But… it was also said that ‘I rejected Mo Fei’, wouldn’t this could also make the Mo family lose their face? After all, Mo Yizhi regarded Mo Fei as something much more important than Fengchang Group. But she was rejected by a nobody?…

I just felt like my brain had turned into mush. I was confused by all kinds of questions. While having a big headache, I asked Guo Xiang: “The story you heard is very different from the facts. It has been exaggerated a lot. It’s true that Zhang Mingjie and I had conflicts, but does it have anything to do with the woman you want to meet tonight?”

“Of course there is.” Guo Xiang smiled, “Because that woman also heard about this incident and publicly stated that if there is a chance, she must meet you.”

…

Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort was a very famous resort. Although it was called a mountain resort, it was actually built in the Du Yun Development Zone in the western suburbs of Bei Tian City. The entrance was set on Crouching Dragon Avenue, which ran from east to west. The villas, houses, and apartments on both sides of the main road, all belonged to Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort. The scale of the area it occupied was the largest in Bei Tian City.

This place was adjacent to the Western Suburb Development Zone in the east, backed by the National Forest Park, and in the north by the thirteen scenic spots. The terrain in the area was undulating, and it was surrounded by abundant plants and beautiful rivers. The magnificent and elegant buildings were rooted in the beautiful mountains by the winding rivers, taking advantage of innate geography. The feeling they gave off was elegant, leisurely, luxurious, and poetic…

As a poor person, I always felt that what I admired and felt was contradictory. Whenever I faced something beautiful, I would always think of green banknotes, which would really ruin the mood. But it was undeniable that this Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort was very impressive and very upscale…

The mountain was not high, but cars needed to take many turns. Fortunately, Guo Xiang knew where we were going, otherwise, I would have thought that we were lost. Just when I was feeling drowsy, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed. At the end of the road, it was a magnificent European-style manor. On top of the manor, there was a sign that had words Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort on it.

There were so many signs that had the words “Crouching Dragon” along the way, it made me wonder just how narcissistic Long Xiaotian, this real estate tycoon, was. This Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort was the biggest project in the real estate industry in Bei Tian city in the past ten years, and it was also a key development project in the city. Guo Xiang said that Long Xiaotian had publicly stated to the outside world that he would retire completely after his 80th birthday. And then he chose this place to host his birthday banquets today. The meaning of it was self-evident, it was that he was the crouching dragon. Coupled with the grand scene of inviting distinguished friends to attend his birthday celebration party, it brought out some inexplicable sadness.

Naming this area crouching dragon, to put it bluntly, was just a way to show that he was a legend. Originally, I thought Long Xiaotian would be an extraordinary person, but after what I saw along the way, my impression of him changed a lot. To me, he was a rich and vain person. The only difference from ordinary people was that he had more material wealth. Now that he could no longer be satisfied by his material wealth, he probably longed to get spiritual satisfaction.

Perhaps I was just hating the rich, but no matter what, my first impression of Long Xiaotian was very bad. Rather than saying this was a birthday banquet, it was better to call it a show- off of the rich.

Just now, Guo Xiang said that the car he was driving now was already the best car in the company. I thought that he was just being humble, but after driving into this Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort, I realized that he probably didn’t lie… The various famous cars parked in the Resort were enough to open a car expo. There were Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, Chrysler, Bugatti. Veyron…

There were so many luxury cars that it was simply dazzling. In comparison, the four or five mid-to-low-end commercial vehicles parked on the roadside outside the villa seem incompatible with such a scene. The incongruity outside the gate made me involuntarily curious. Were there some guests who were also commoners like me?

In fact, Xingyu was about the same as me. At best, she was just richer than me. Although she was born in a rich family, she rarely joined the banquets of this level, so she was also stunned. With a look of envy, she introduced a few models of the cars to me. I didn’t remember the specific content. All I could remember was just that the price was floating at three to five million, and it made me want to turn around and leave immediately.

What was wrong with Guo Xiang. Why would he want to drag me this poor man here?!Was he deliberately trying to hurt my confidence to fight for life in the future?!

Thinking of the contemptuous and arrogant look of the housekeeper who checked Guo Xiang’s invitation at the gate of the manor, I became more and more disgusted with the gathering of rich people. The reason was very simple, I did not belong to this world.

After getting out of the car, the sky was already dark, but the courtyard under the neon lantern was as bright as the day. It seemed that Long Xiaotian prepared an open-air party. A banquet venue was set up in front of a four-story-high manor. The people in glamorous clothes were polite to each other, elegantly clinking their glasses, chatting and laughing, and from time to time, I could see waiters with drinks walking through the crowd.

Bear meat and caviar imported from Russia, fried foie gras from France, Frankfurt sausages from Germany, desserts from Italy… On the long table decorated with flowers and candlesticks, there were various expensive delicacies, and there was also a Brazilian barbecue that was made on site. The fragrant smell of it was enough to make people mouth water. Of course, the only person who would be so easy to be tempted was probably only me.

“Elder Long is not in good health. He probably won’t show up before the birthday banquet officially begins. Now his children are in charge of entertaining the guests.” Guo Xiang returned after giving the birthday gift he prepared and took a glass of champagne from the tray held by a waiter. Then he handed it to me and said: “I guess that important person will not appear early as well.”

I declined the champagne and took a glass of orange juice just like Liu Xingyu, frowned, and said, “Who exactly is she, Lao Guo?”

Guo Xiang took a sip of his drink and shrugged, “I don’t know…”

Hearing this, I almost wanted to pour the drink on his face, “What kind of joke is this?”

“It’s not a joke,” Guo Xiang shook his head and smiled, “Speaking of this person, although she is very well-known in Bei Tian’s upper-class social circle, everyone only knows that she is called ‘Third Lady’. In terms of her real name, no one knows about it. Because she is a private person, she doesn’t like publicity, and the people who have come into contact with her, whether they are business leaders or political leaders, are not the kind of people who like to gossip. Maybe it was also because they were worried about the weird character of the Third Lady. This is enough to show how noble her identity is. She is said to have a very powerful family. Not only has her family penetrated all walks of life in business, whether it was politics, literature, entertainment, or sports, or some other industries, but her family’s business even spread all over the world. They even have personal relationships with some foreign politicians and have a huge network of partners throughout the globe. Although it may be a little bit exaggerated to say that her family is as rich as a country, her family definitely has a huge influence in many business sectors. It can be said that as long as a company is able to work with Third Lady, the company will get a lot of benefit from it.”

I sneered and did not believe it, “are you serious?”

“The rumors will definitely be exaggerated, but even without the things mentioned by those rumors, her background is probably not something that you and I can imagine,” Guo Xiang suddenly changed his tone, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, “Do you know why Long Xiaotian is called the leader of our real estate industry? It’s not because he bid for the development rights of this resort back then and then became a prominent figure in the real estate industry. Calling himself a crouching dragon, you think that he is trying to show off his wealth today, but in fact, at least seventy percent of this “Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort” belonged to the Third Lady. However, the Third Lady doesn’t like attention, so she just let Long Xiaotian’s Long Corporate group handle everything. This is no secret in our industry. It’s just for the face of Long Xiaotian that no one is talking about it. Long Xiaotian regards this development as his greatest achievement in his life, but in the eyes of the Third Lady, this project was something that she did on a whim. It’s just a small sandpit.”

On a whim? To be able to own seventy percent of this area, she must have invested billions in this place, right? But Guo Xiang said she did it on a whim?!
