This is Tomson Riviera, where land is incredibly valuable; a single apartment here costs around 100 million yuan.
A dozen or so sets would amount to over a billion.
How could a young person possibly afford so many houses?
"Tell me, how many houses do you own here?"
The man asked with a cold smile.
"Not many, fifty sets."
Ye Chen directed a Maserati to stop on the side of the road while casually answering.
In an instant, the smile on the man's face froze.
Behind the man, his wife, who had just walked over, also froze in place.
Not many... fifty sets?!
He owns fifty houses here!
Fifty houses, almost half a building.
Is this not much?!
The man stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen, utterly shocked.
Is this young man in front of him really that terrifying?
"Fifty houses are roughly equivalent to five billion."
His wife behind him muttered to herself, "All our assets combined don't even amount to 5 billion, yet this guy owns 50 apartments in Tomson Riviera alone."
At that moment, the couple no longer felt it was unfair.
They own half a building here and have so many parking spaces; it's perfectly reasonable.
We can't afford to mess with them.
"Sorry to bother you, sorry to bother you."
The man said one sentence and then quickly left with his wife, not daring to ask any more questions.
Ten minutes later, the remaining Maseratis were parked, and the Maserati staff said goodbye.
"Let's pick one and drive it for now."
Ye Chen pointed to all the Maseratis parked there.
When you first start driving, there might be some bumps and scrapes. If it breaks, you can just get a new one.
Let's drive one car first, so Ning Shuang can practice and get familiar with it.
Anyway, since it's parked here, Ning Shuang can drive it whenever she wants.
"En...this one, please."
After looking around, Su Ningshuang finally chose a white Maserati GranTurismo, a sports coupe.
"good."
Ye Chen found the car keys, the two got into the car, and Su Ningshuang slowly drove the car out of the Tomson Riviera underground parking lot.
Ye Chen found a road with less traffic and let Su Ningshuang familiarize herself with it first.
After the previous lessons, Su Ningshuang's driving skills have become much more proficient than before. She will leave in a little while, driving this Maserati GranTurismo at a slower speed, and there shouldn't be any problem.
"By the way, Ye Chen, I'm going to Aunt Hu's house tomorrow night. Do you have anything planned? If not, would you like to come with me?"
Aunt Hu is her mother's good friend, and she settled down in Shanghai a few years ago.
After learning that Su Ningshuang had come to Shanghai to study, Aunt Hu invited Su Ningshuang to her home for meals many times.
Su Ningshuang declined several times, but Aunt Hu kept inviting her, and Su Ningshuang couldn't keep refusing, so she agreed.
"Tomorrow night, okay."
Ye Chen nodded. He didn't have any important plans for tomorrow night, and even if he did, he could postpone them.
After getting to know each other better for a while, Su Ningshuang dropped Ye Chen off at Tomson Riviera and then drove herself to school.
"Don't forget to send me a message after you get back to school."
Finally, Ye Chen gave a special reminder, since Ning Shuang had just driven this Maserati GranTurismo, and Ye Chen was still a little worried.
Along the way, Su Ningshuang drove slowly and leisurely, and although she did not bring out the speed of the sports car, the ride was quite smooth.
Gradually, Su Ningshuang came to enjoy the feeling of driving.
The following evening, having developed a liking for driving, Su Ningshuang was eager to try it out and took the initiative to pick up Ye Chen.
Following the navigation, Su Ningshuang arrived at a famous villa area in Shanghai. She parked the car outside the villa, and the two of them walked over with the gifts.
"Ning Shuang is here, come in quickly, come in quickly."
Shortly after I pressed the doorbell, the villa door opened, and a middle-aged woman greeted me warmly.
"Aunt Hu, Uncle Lin."
Upon entering the villa, Su Ningshuang greeted everyone politely.
"This is my boyfriend, Ye Chen."
Su Ningshuang introduced Ye Chen.
"Hello, Auntie and Uncle."
Ye Chen put down the prepared fruit and other items.
Hello, hello.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Aunt Hu warmly invited the two of them to have dinner.
"You must be hungry, let's eat."
At the dinner table, knowing that Su Ningshuang was going to drive, Uncle Zhao did not prepare any wine for her, but he did not intend to let Ye Chen off the hook.
"Xiao Ye, Ning Shuang has to drive later and can't drink, but you must have a few drinks with me."
His wife usually doesn't allow him to drink, so how could he miss this rare opportunity?
"good."
Since Uncle Lin kept inviting him, Ye Chen couldn't refuse, so he drank with him.
The group ate and chatted.
"By the way, Xiao Ye, are you also studying at Shanghai University?"
Aunt Hu asked curiously.
"No, I'm at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics."
Ye Chen explained.
"Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, so Xiao Ye, you're going to work in the finance industry after graduation?"
Aunt Hu nodded.
"Yes."
Ye Chen nodded and said modestly:
"In my spare time, I do some small business as a way to practice."
Upon hearing about finance and business, Uncle Lin, who was slightly tipsy, immediately perked up.
"Xiao Ye has already started doing business."
Uncle Lin sighed.
"If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask your Uncle Lin. I can give you some pointers."
Uncle Lin had the air of a seasoned business shrewdness and a lonely, serene demeanor.
Xiao Ye only runs a small business, so it's easy for him, who runs a big business, to give pointers.
"Yes, if Xiao Ye has any questions, she can ask your Uncle Lin."
Although Aunt Hu knew her husband had drunk a bit too much, she agreed with him.
As a senior figure in the business world, my husband is certainly qualified to offer guidance to junior colleagues.
Around 8 p.m., Su Ningshuang prepared to say goodbye, as it would take some time to get back to school.
Ye Chen originally planned to leave with Su Ningshuang, but after learning that Ye Chen was not staying at school, Uncle Lin insisted on keeping Ye Chen drinking.
A little while later, he called his driver to take Ye Chen home.
Su Ningshuang had no choice but to leave on her own.
Ye Chen and Uncle Lin continued drinking for a while until they were finally satisfied, and only then did Uncle Lin agree to let Ye Chen leave.
"Xiao Ye, where do you live? I'll have the driver take you home."
Taking out his phone, a slightly dizzy Uncle Lin prepared to call his driver.
However, the next second, Ye Chen's words instantly brought Uncle Lin to his senses, and he looked at Ye Chen in utter astonishment.
