The boy is Li Xiaogang, who has just returned to the ancient city after completing his mission, while the girl is Gao Mei, the "white moonlight" that Li Xiaogang cannot extricate himself from.
Originally, Li Xiaogang went to Jinglan County alone on business, but as the National Day holiday approached, Gao Mei, who had nothing to do, contacted Li Xiaogang on QQ to ask him if he had any plans for the holiday and if he wanted to go out and have fun together.
At the time, Li Xiaogang had neither investigated the investors of Liqiang Supermarket nor successfully "lent money," so he truthfully replied, "I am on a business trip and do not know if I will be able to return to the ancient city during the National Day holiday."
It was this sentence that piqued Gao Mei's interest.
"Business trip? Where? What for?"
"It's nothing, just an investment in Jinglan County. It's not a large amount, only around a million or so."
The Chen family's property is located in the center of Jinglan County. It is a large single-level apartment of 200 square meters, and according to the market price at that time in 2007, its total value was around 1 million yuan.
The "investment amount" matches, but Li Xiaogang deliberately concealed the key information that he was "investing" for his good friend Chen Feng, subtly showing off in front of his sweetheart.
Let alone in 2007, even in later years with soaring prices, 1 million is not a small amount for most people.
Gao Mei initially thought that Li Xiaogang's family was not wealthy, especially after learning that the Chenxi Yaju 113 apartment where Li Xiaogang lived was not his personal property, Gao Mei became even more convinced of this.
But at that moment, Gao Mei secretly cursed herself for misjudging him and almost missing out on a golden opportunity.
As a result, Gao Mei became exceptionally proactive over the next few days.
He would either send Li Xiaogang messages of concern on QQ or have long phone conversations with him before bed.
Gao Mei even took two days off in advance and went to Jinglan County on October 30th to give Li Xiaogang a surprise.
Li Xiaogang, who was experiencing his first love, couldn't resist this. He was immediately moved to tears.
However, things always turn out the opposite when they reach an extreme.
Just as Li Xiaogang was secretly determined to marry no one but Gao Mei, Gao Mei's attitude took a sudden turn for the worse.
Because she discovered that Li Xiaogang's accommodation in Jinglan County was a dilapidated little hotel that cost 30 yuan a night.
Which rich young master would stay in such a shabby place when he goes on a business trip?
"Are you really here in Jinglan County to invest?"
Gao Mei asked with a suspicious look, "Is the investment really as high as a million?"
"Forehead……"
Li Xiaogang touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing Li Xiaogang's appearance, Gao Mei was furious.
"Li Xiaogang, I hate it most when people lie to me!"
No, I'm not lying to you.
Li Xiaogang quickly explained, "It's true that I'm here to make investments, but..."
"Just what?"
"I'm helping Chen Feng with investments."
"Chen Feng?"
Gao Mei raised an eyebrow. "That good brother who lives upstairs from you?"
"right."
What did he ask you to invest in?
"This... I can't say."
"So he's a rich kid?"
"No, he earned all his money himself."
"What did he do to make his money?"
"This... I don't know much about it."
How could Li Xiaogang not understand?
He was clearly afraid that if he told the truth, Gao Mei would ask him all sorts of questions.
However, if Gao Mei asks Chen Feng which stocks he has bought, he will be in a dilemma.
On the one hand, he had promised Chen Feng that he would not reveal Chen Feng's purchasing decision to anyone;
On the other hand, he was well aware of Gao Mei's relentless style of not giving up until she achieved her goal.
To avoid getting into trouble for himself, he decisively told a "white lie".
Actually, it's not hard to see from this that Li Xiaogang is not stupid.
At the very least, he could see Gao Mei's greed and domineering nature.
Gao Mei stared at Li Xiaogang for a long time, then made a move to turn her back and leave.
But then she thought again, no.
When she left, she boasted to her roommates that she was going on a trip;
So the National Day holiday hasn't even officially started yet, and the tourists have already gone back home? Isn't that a joke?
To avoid being ridiculed by her roommates, Gao Mei decided to stay in Jinglan County and return to school after all her roommates had left the dormitory.
Li Xiaogang was naturally pleased with this.
Fearing that Gao Mei would be "wronged", he paid a "high price" of 100 yuan to book a budget hotel for Gao Mei, while he himself still stayed in a small hotel that cost 30 yuan a night.
Even so, Gao Mei was still sullen.
Did Li Xiaogang just settle for a budget hotel?
Gao Mei's dream is to stay in a five-star hotel, enjoy a private pool and Michelin-starred meals!
Fortunately, just two days later, Chen Liqiang fell into the trap and used the Chen family's property as collateral to borrow 1.2 million yuan at an interest rate of 24%. Only then did Gao Mei return to the ancient city with Li Xiaogang.
"When exactly will Chen Feng arrive?"
Gao Mei complained, "The sun is so strong, I'm going to get a tan."
"It should be soon."
Li Xiaogang glanced at the time on his phone screen. "He rushed here ten minutes ago."
"You know ten minutes have passed, right?"
Gao Mei pouted, "I really don't know what you're thinking. Why are you waiting for him? Can't you just hail a taxi?"
Li Xiaogang laughed and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. Old Chen's car is much more comfortable than a taxi."
"cut!"
Gao Mei rolled her eyes and said with a disdainful look, "What kind of car can that fake rich guy drive? An Alto? Or a Chery QQ?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaogang frowned and said, "What do you mean by 'fake tycoon'? Senior Gao Mei, don't talk nonsense."
Gao Mei's sarcastic remarks towards Li Xiaogang never angered him, but Gao Mei's disdain for Chen Feng did provoke a bit of real anger in Li Xiaogang.
Gao Mei glared at Li Xiaogang, thinking to herself that this sycophant had really grown up and dared to talk back to her.
"Am I talking nonsense? In all my years, I've never seen a truly wealthy person who hides even their history of how they made their fortune."
"Besides, you're his best brother. If he were really rolling in money, why would he send you on a business trip and have you stay in a run-down, old hotel?"
"I suspect that even that so-called million-dollar investment was done by him on behalf of someone else. You were just naive enough to believe him. His little tricks can't fool me!"
Li Xiaogang opened his mouth, his face flushed.
He wanted to tell Gao Mei that Chen Feng had told him to stay somewhere nicer, but being used to being frugal, he wanted to save his good brother some money, so he stayed in a small hotel.
Before Li Xiaogang could even finish speaking, a white Porsche Cayenne sped up and came to a smooth stop in front of him.
Wow! This car is so beautiful!
Gao Mei exclaimed in surprise, "I've seen this car online, it seems to cost a full million!"
Would you like to sit in it and experience it?
Perhaps because he had spent a lot of time with Chen Feng, Li Xiaogang asked a question almost without thinking.
"nonsense!"
Gao Mei said irritably, "Who wouldn't want to ride in such a nice car?"
