Roderick told Ye Chen the time and place for dinner.
As evening approached, Ye Chen drove his custom-made Ferrari supercar straight to the restaurant.
This is a high-end French restaurant in Shanghai. Various luxury cars are parked outside, and Ye Chen's car is among them.
As Ye Chen parked his car, a Lamborghini Murcielago slowly drove up beside him.
As soon as Ye Chen parked his car and got out, a beautiful female reporter who was conducting a street interview walked over quickly.
"Young man, may I ask you a question? It will only take about 10 or 20 seconds and will not take up any of your time."
The beautiful reporter asked with an extremely polite smile.
The staff member who was with the reporter saw that the owner of the Lamborghini Murcielago had also gotten out, so they quickly invited him over as well.
"I saw that the two young men were driving supercars like Ferraris and Lamborghinis. They're so impressive."
The beautiful reporter first flattered the two of them, and then got down to business.
“We are conducting a survey to find out how big the gap is between the living concepts of ordinary people and the wealthy.”
"Two young men driving a supercar must be rich. I just wanted to ask, what's it like for you to live in a mansion? What kind of residence is considered good?"
The beautiful reporter asked her question.
After saying that, she held the microphone out towards Ye Chen first, since this young man was the first to arrive, and she definitely wanted to interview him first.
Upon seeing this, the owner of the Lamborghini Murcielago showed a hint of displeasure, but did not say anything.
What's it like to live in a luxury mansion? What makes a good residence?
Ye Chen muttered to himself, "This question came as a surprise."
He owns and has lived in too many mansions of all kinds, including modern luxury villas, sea-view villas, European-style villas, villas with huge private libraries, and even villas with private aquariums. He will also own one with a "zoo" in the future.
Besides, he also has mansions that resemble ancient gardens. Each of them has its own characteristics and advantages. Even without talking about mansions, just an ordinary house, being with family is also a kind of happiness.
If you asked him to immediately identify what constitutes a good residence, he honestly couldn't give a clear answer.
"Actually, I feel it's just so-so. What you like is the best, and nothing else matters."
Ye Chen modestly said that all kinds of mansions and villas are only novel at the beginning, and you get tired of them after a while.
"cut."
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the Lamborghini Murcielago owner next to him sneered.
“He lacks foresight, let me explain.”
The Lamborghini Murcielago owner spoke up, and the female reporter handed him the microphone.
"I think the best residence is the king of the towers in Tomson Riviera."
The Lamborghini Murcielago owner started showing off:
"I recently bought a 400-square-meter luxury apartment in Building D of Tomson Riviera, but I think it's just average."
"My goal is to buy a penthouse in Tomson Riviera someday."
"What?! You bought a 400+ square meter apartment in Tomson Riviera and you think it's just so-so?!?!"
The beautiful reporter was shocked.
Tomson Riviera is practically the most famous luxury residence in Shanghai. It's over 400 square meters, and its value is conservatively estimated at around 100 million yuan, or even more. This is something that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.
As it turns out, in this young man's eyes, the 400-square-meter luxury apartment in Tomson Riviera was actually quite ordinary. Is this what rich people are like?
"It's only a little over 400 square meters, it's really not that great."
The Lamborghini Murcielago owner continues to show off.
Listening to his words, the beautiful reporter and several staff members were filled with emotion.
Did you buy an apartment in Building D of Tomson Riviera?
Hearing what the Lamborghini Murcielago owner said, Ye Chen revealed a strange smile. He prepared to leave, but before leaving, Ye Chen specifically said something to the Lamborghini Murcielago:
"The apartments in Tomson Riviera are indeed just average, but the time is almost up, don't forget to pay the rent."
After saying that, Ye Chen walked towards the restaurant not far away.
"Oh, I almost forgot, tomorrow is rent payment day."
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the Lamborghini Murcielago owner replied without hesitation.
Um?
Paying rent?!
The beautiful reporter and others looked puzzled. Didn't this Lamborghini Murcielago owner just say he bought a house? How come he has to pay rent for a house he bought?
Stared at by several people, the Lamborghini Murcielago owner blushed instantly, letting slip that he had let something slip.
He just saw someone being interviewed and wanted to show off, so he boasted that the apartment he rented in Tomson Riviera was one he owned. But Ye Chen's reminder earlier made him let it slip.
That's so embarrassing.
How did you know my house was rented?!
The Lamborghini Murcielago owner loudly questioned Ye Chen, unable to understand how he knew his house was rented when he didn't know him or that he was his neighbor.
"Because the entire D building belongs to me."
Ye Chen gave a curt reply and then walked into the restaurant.
However, Ye Chen's casual remark shocked the Lamborghini Murcielago owner and the beautiful reporter to the extreme.
The entire D building of Tomson Riviera belongs to him?!
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!
Is it really that outrageous?
Tomson Riviera consists of only four buildings, and he owns one of them. He owns a quarter of Tomson Riviera. This is simply outrageous, utterly outrageous!
They've encountered a low-profile but incredibly powerful figure!
At this moment, the beautiful reporter and others finally understood why Ye Chen had said those things before.
If even a quarter of Tomson Riviera belongs to them, what kind of luxury mansion can't they get?
I'm afraid that any mansion, no matter how luxurious, is just an ordinary house in other people's eyes.
The Lamborghini Murcielago owner was even more audacious, bragging to the homeowner in front of him. Wasn't that just crazy?
Moreover, he owns the entire D building; that's just too much.
The Lamborghini Murcielago owner was completely bewildered and began to question the meaning of life.
As Ye Chen entered the restaurant, he was about to head towards the private room Roderick had mentioned when a mysterious person suddenly stopped him halfway there.
