Chapter 268 Show off your wealth



When Yang Kun was in school, he was the kind of person who liked to compete with others and be in the spotlight.

After so many years, his character has not only not changed, but has become even worse.

Qiu Shui could see that Yang Kun had bad intentions, but since Qiu Shui had the system father, he was fearless.

“I’m playing chess now.”

After becoming a professional chess player, Qiu Shui felt that this was a serious career.

As for other such devil brand companies and bosses with castles in the air, those are all side jobs.

"Play chess?" Yang Kun covered his mouth and laughed as if he had heard a joke, "Qiu Shui, you are not imitating others to play Go, are you?"

In recent years, due to the vigorous development of professional Go in China, the number of large and small competitions has increased significantly. The prize money is so generous that it makes many people jealous.

So, many people went to play Go.

In Yang Kun's company, there was a person who resigned on a whim and went to play Go.

However, without talent, playing chess is a joke.

It's fine to play chess for entertainment, but if you really want to make a living from it, not everyone can do it.

At least Yang Kun’s colleague couldn’t do it.

"Is there a problem?" Qiu Shui glanced at Yang Kun indifferently.

"Of course there is a problem. There was a colleague in our company who resigned in order to play chess. Then he went to participate in some ranking tournament. Guess what he is doing now?" Yang Kun looked at Qiu Shui with a half-smile.

Qiu Shui didn't respond to him, but a male classmate next to him couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"How is it going now? Has he succeeded in getting promoted?"

"Of course not. There are at least hundreds of thousands of people who want to participate in the Dan Qualifying Tournament every year. Only tens of thousands of people can actually participate in the Dan Qualifying Tournament. And only a few dozen people can successfully qualify every year. This is harder than getting into Kyoto University."

"My colleague only studied for a month or two, but he didn't even qualify for the qualifying tournament. Now he has lost his job and can no longer play chess. He can only go home and live off his parents."

At this point, Yang Kun couldn't help but put on a stern face and lectured Qiu Shui, "Qiu Shui, as an old classmate, you shouldn't think I'm being harsh. After all, my colleague has parents to rely on, but you don't. So if you want to make chess a job, I suggest you give it up as soon as possible."

"Yang Kun, what are you talking about. What's wrong with playing chess? Maybe Qiu Shui has that kind of talent." The female classmate sitting next to Yang Kun couldn't stand Yang Kun bullying Qiu Shui.

She had a good impression of Yang Kun before. I feel that Yang Kun's family is not only rich, but he is also capable.

Besides, he looks pretty good.

Of course, such a wealthy son-in-law cannot be let go.

Except for Yang Kun and Mu Ziyang who are rich, everyone else here comes from an ordinary family. Personal abilities and work are also average.

Yang Kun used to show off his wealth in front of everyone, and everyone thought it was normal. And happy to flatter him.

However, since Yang Kun did not understand the truth of the matter, he began to belittle and slander Qiu Shui in various ways.

Everyone has a very bad impression of Yang Kun.

Instead, they all felt sympathy for Qiu Shui, the weakling. After all, compared to Yang Kun, Qiu Shui is more like "one of us".

"Talent? Xiaoyu, you can't just say that. Not everyone has the talent for playing chess. If you want to make a living by playing chess, you must at least get promoted first. Ask Qiushui if he succeeded in getting promoted."

Yang Kun was certain that Qiu Shui would not be able to successfully qualify as a professional player.

Although nowadays, people play chess regardless of age.

But Qiu Shui is in his twenties now, how can he compare with those teenagers. My brain isn't as flexible as others'.

"I'm sorry, I may disappoint you." Qiu Shui tilted his head and looked at Yang Kun innocently, "What a coincidence, I have already successfully qualified for the professional league not long ago."

"What?" Yang Kun's mouth froze, "How is that possible?"

Lou Yuchen said to him coldly: "How can it be impossible? Professional chess players can be found on the official website of Chinese Go."

The implication is that if Yang Kun doesn't believe it, he can check it on the official website.

Lou Yuchen had disliked Yang Kun for a long time, and had been targeting Qiu Shui ever since she came in. This person is really disgusting.

Yang Kun didn't believe that Qiu Shui really became a professional chess player.

He immediately picked up his phone again and went to the official Chinese Go website to check.

After entering Qiu Shui's name, Qiu Shui's personal information immediately popped up on the official website.

Although it was just basic information, the bright photo above was undoubtedly Qiu Shui himself.

Xiao Ying couldn't help but be curious and took out her cell phone to check.

"Oh my god, Qiu Shui, you really have become a professional Go player, that's amazing. When you were studying, you hid it so well that we didn't even know you could play Go."

This was really beyond Xiao Ying's expectations.

"Being a professional Go player is harder than getting into Kyoto University."

Mu Ziyang didn't expect that Xiao Ying actually had a classmate who became a professional chess player.

"Yes, Qiu Shui, you are amazing."

"Awesome old classmate."

The others also looked at Qiu Shui with admiration.

Qiu Shui has actually become accustomed to these praises and admirations.

I didn't feel anything to be happy about.

So, I just smiled and said nothing.

However, in Yang Kun's view, this is just pretense.

"Even if you become a professional chess player, so what? There are quite a few professional chess players in China now. I heard that many professional chess players only earn three or four thousand yuan. In a big city, what's the point of a salary of three or four thousand yuan?"

Anyway, Yang Kun just refuses to admit that Qiu Shui is better than him.

He stroked the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the dazzling gold watch. "My watch is not expensive, only 250,000. If you calculate it based on the salary of your professional chess players, it will probably take you five or six years to buy this watch."

"Host, don't stop me. I'm going to beat him up."

"It's just a 250,000 watch. What's so great about it? Hurry up and show him your 5 million watch. It will blind his eyes."

How can a wealth-showing system allow others to show off their wealth in front of its host?

Isn't that stealing jobs?

When it comes to showing off wealth, my host is the professional.

Seeing the system jumping up and down in anger, Qiu Shui laughed secretly.

"Okay, System Dad, calm down. Aren't we here to show off our wealth?"

Originally Qiu Shui thought that he was being ridiculous and that showing off his wealth in front of so many classmates might make him look a bit stupid.

But now it's good, someone has paved the way for him.

So how could he miss it?

Qiu Shui glanced at the watch on Yang Kun's hand and said, "Yang Kun, your watch is from a watch family, right?"

"Yes, it is a watch from the Watch Family."

Yang Kun gave Qiu Shui a look that said, "You're a connoisseur."

"Oh, really? That's a coincidence. A few days ago, Achen and I just happened to buy two watches from the watch family."

Qiu Shui lifted up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the watch worth 5 million yuan on his left hand.

Lou Yuchen also cooperated and showed the watch on his wrist.

The two dark blue watches are particularly exquisite and elegant under the refraction of light.

"Oh my god," Xiao Ying covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the familiar watch on Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen's wrists, "Qiu Shui, did you buy this watch?"

"Yes, there happened to be two in that store, and Achen and I both liked them, so we bought them all. Right, Achen?" Qiu Shui looked at Lou Yuchen beside him with a smile.

"Yeah. I like it very much." Lou Yuchen saw the cunning in Qiu Shui's eyes clearly. He could tell at a glance that Qiu Shui was about to start slapping him in the face.

"Just because I like it?" Mu Ziyang, a second-generation rich man, didn't dare to say such a thing. He smacked his lips and said, "This watch costs 5 million. You two cost 10 million."

Spend 10 million to buy two watches?

That was something Mu Ziyang dared not even think about.

"What? The watch on their wrist costs 5 million?" a female classmate exclaimed.

The other students widened their eyes in disbelief.

The watches on Qiu Shui and the others' wrists actually cost 5 million?

My God, many of them probably won’t be able to earn five million in their entire lifetime!

However, 5 million is just the price of a watch for some people.

Mu Ziyang nodded, "Yes, this is what Xiao Ying and I just talked about, the watch worth 5 million that we saw in the watch family. It is said that there are only two in our entire B city. This is a limited edition. Unexpectedly, both were bought by classmate Qiu and his friends."

Those who can afford a watch worth 5 million must be super rich second generation!

Mu Ziyang couldn't help but start to look at Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen seriously.

Because Xiao Ying had said before that Qiu Shui's family conditions were not very good.

My parents are gone again.

So, even looking at Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen's temperament and appearance. But I didn't think of them as rich people.

I just thought that they both had good innate abilities.

But now taking a closer look, Qiu Shui's noble temperament is not innate. His every move seemed more like the result of deliberate training.

Although Lou Yuchen has a good temperament, he is not as good as Qiu Shui. It's one section short.

However, Lou Yuchen's face makes up for his shortcomings. Just that face is enough to make any clothes look particularly good on him.

Now that I look at the two of them carefully, I realize that they are obviously different from ordinary people.

When Yang Kun heard that the watches in Qiu Shui and the others' hands were worth five million, he was also incredulous.

"Five million? Impossible, Master Mu, you must have seen it wrong, right? After all, you are so far away from Qiu Shui and the others."

How could Qiu Shui, a poor guy whose parents had both passed away, afford a watch worth 5 million?

It’s fake, it must be fake.

Yang Kun didn't believe it.

"Did I see it wrong? Impossible. Classmate Qiu also admitted it just now." Mu Ziyang raised his eyebrows. He was confident that he couldn't have seen it wrong.

"Even if he admitted it, it doesn't mean that the watch is real. Qiu Shui, I'm not saying anything bad about you. It's a class reunion, so it's fine if you wear a fake watch. But how can you lie to us and say it's a real watch? You are too vain." Yang Kun absolutely did not believe that Qiu Shui could afford a 5 million watch.

It was clearly him who was the one showing off his wealth first, but now he is biting Qiu Shui back. It is said that Qiu Shui is very vain.

"Yang Kun, I'm curious, how did you manage to keep putting your face close to me so that I could hit you? Don't you know that this watch has only just been released? Even if a fake watch maker wants to imitate it, they don't have time to make a forgery yet?"

How did Yang Kun get into a key university with his IQ?

If it wasn't cheating, it would be impossible. Qiu Shui would even suspect that he had cheated in the college entrance examination.

Mu Ziyang agreed, "Indeed, this watch has only been out for a week. It's impossible for a fake watch to be made so quickly in just over a week."

"How can you possibly afford a 5 million watch?"

Yang Kun stubbornly believed that Qiu Shui's watch was fake.

He refused to admit that he, who was so rich, could only afford a watch worth 250,000 yuan, while a poor guy like Qiu Shui could wear a watch worth 5 million yuan.

"Just now I heard you look down on professional chess players." Qiu Shui said sarcastically: "Although the salary of professional chess players is not high. But we have a lot of competitions. It's really unfortunate. Some time ago, I participated in the Hualong Cup competition. I accidentally won the championship. The prize money is not much. Only 50 million."

Only 50 million?

What kind of Versailles is this?

Yang Kun also widened his eyes, his face full of shock.

The people in the private room were instantly shocked when they heard that Qiu Shui was actually the champion of the Hualong Cup.

"Qiu Shui, are you the champion of the Hualong Cup? Oh my god, when I saw your name in the news before, I thought it was just a coincidence. I didn't expect it was really you."

"I saw it too. Now that you mentioned it, I remembered it. I also saw Qiu Shui's photo at the time, and I just thought it looked familiar. I didn't expect it to be you, Qiu Shui. I can't be dreaming."

"50 million in prize money! We can't earn that much money in our lifetime. Qiushui, you can't even earn that much in just one competition. That's amazing."

"It's awesome, okay?"

"Ahhh, I found the photo. Oh my god, look, isn't the one next to Qiu Shui Lou Yuchen?"

"It's really him. Did I see it wrong? It says here that Lou Yuchen is the chess god?"

"What? Lou Yuchen is the chess god?"

Those students originally went online just to find news about Qiu Shui's attendance at the award ceremony.

But I did find a photo of Lou Yuchen personally presenting the award to Qiu Shui.

Although Lou Yuchen is a chess god.

But, he has always kept a low profile.

In addition, news about him usually only appears on the official website of Go.

So, in real life, if you don’t play Go, you don’t actually know him very well.

Seeing that Lou Yuchen’s identity was exposed.

Qiu Shui did not hide anything and openly introduced everyone present: "Yes, my boyfriend is the chess god of our country."

"As Yang Kun said, even if you are a chess god, your salary is only a few thousand yuan. But the prize money for the competition is a little higher. The champion of any random competition may only get tens of millions."

Qiu Shui looked meaningfully at Yang Kun, whose face had turned as black as ink, "I wonder, Master Yang, how much is your annual salary?"

You want to pretend, right? Then he would install a big one for Yang Kun.

Yang Kun was stunned when he heard that Qiu Shui was the champion of the Hualong Cup.

Then I heard that Qiu Shui’s boyfriend is the chess god of China.

I was completely dumbfounded.

If Qiu Shui’s boyfriend is really a chess god. Then it is normal to win one or two championships casually.

Nowadays, the prize money for the champions of Go competitions basically starts at 10 million.

His salary, including commission, is no more than a few hundred thousand yuan a year.

I guess it’s not even a fraction of the prize money for a single game.

The most important thing is that China’s chess god is a national player.

Those are people who can represent the country and participate in competitions abroad.

That social status cannot be matched even by those billionaires.

What’s more, they are just a small Yang family.

More importantly, Qiu Shui himself actually won the Hualong Cup competition and won a prize of 50 million!

The total assets of their Yang family are only a few hundred million. Moreover, the bulk of these hundreds of millions are in its own listed company.

Their family's liquid funds are no more than 50 million per year.

In other words, it was just a casual competition for Qiu Shui. It is almost equal to their family’s annual income.

There is no harm without comparison.

How could Qiu Shui, who is so rich, buy a fake watch?

That watch must be real.

It's over. Great chess players like Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen are likely to know a lot of important people.

Once Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen said something bad about their company to some powerful person.

Maybe their family’s company will suffer.

Yang Kun thought of the person who slandered Qiu Shui for being kept by someone. It seemed that their family was bankrupt. My parents also went in to eat the national meal.

So, is it possible. That guy's family went bankrupt because he offended Qiu Shui?

If true, it would be terrible.

Yang Kun swallowed, his face began to turn from black to white, his lips turned colorless, and began to tremble slightly.

My heartbeat kept accelerating, as if it was about to jump out of my chest.

"Why aren't you talking? It seemed like Young Master Yang talked a lot just now." Qiu Shui said jokingly when she saw Yang Kun's pale face.

"No, no, no, with my salary, how can I force you, Mr. Qiu?"

Yang Kun deflated. He changed his arrogant and domineering image and smiled seductively at Qiu Shui.

People call Qiu Shui "Qiu Shao" and even use the word "you".

The change was so fast that Xiao Ying and others were caught off guard.

Lou Yuchen glanced at Yang Kun with a cold look, "I remember, that's not what you said just now."

"I..." Yang Kun just wanted to explain.

Finally, there was a knock on the door.

Then the door opened.

The manager of Xingyue Hotel walked in with a group of waiters holding various dishes.

When Yang Kun saw the manager of Xingyue Hotel coming, he stood up immediately.

"Manager Guan, why are you here?"

The manager of Xingyue Hotel is named Guan and he is 46 years old.

Xingyue Hotel is a chain of four-star hotels.

There are more than ten branches across the country.

Manager Guan manages this branch in Yangcheng and another branch in the neighboring city Z.

Being able to manage two branches is enough to show how strong the background of this manager is.

It is said that Manager Guan is a relative of the owner of Xingyue Hotel.

Those who are able to open this kind of hotel chain have very powerful connections.

At that time, Yang Kun and his father had dinner with the manager of the Xingyue Hotel.

Manager Guan is Yang Kun's father, and he has to please him personally.

Yang Kun heard from his father yesterday that Manager Guan was coming back from out of town today. I plan to bring him here for dinner in a couple of days.

Unexpectedly, I would meet Manager Guan now.

However, Manager Guan seemed not to have noticed Yang Kun at all and walked directly towards Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen.

"Mr. Qiu, Mr. Lou, your presence at our Xingyue Hotel is truly a great honor to our hotel!"

Manager Guan showed an appropriate expression of flattery on his face.

"Who are you?" Qiu Shui asked in confusion.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My last name is Guan, and I'm the manager here. I went on a business trip some time ago. When I heard that the two gentlemen were staying in our hotel, I took care of my business and rushed back immediately."

If Qiu Shui was just a rich man, Manager Guan might come to visit him. But I will never try to please you like I do now.

The problem is, Qiu Shui is the chairman of the Demon King brand. And Lou Yuchen is also the chess god of China.

Both of them have very noble identities.

Just now when he went upstairs to look for the two people, he found nothing.

Later, the waiter came to tell him that Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen had come to private room 206.

He found out that private room 206 was hosting a class reunion.

So Manager Guan immediately urged the kitchen staff to prepare the dishes for private room 206 as soon as possible.

After all the dishes were ready, Manager Guan came to private room 206 with a group of waiters.

Manager Guan's attitude was very respectful.

Yang Kun, Mu Ziyang and others were extremely surprised by his respect.

Yang Kun's heart was in turmoil.

Usually, Manager Guan is indifferent to his father.

But now he is so respectful to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen.

What’s even more exaggerated is that Manager Guan said that he rushed back from another place specifically for Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen.

This is a bit scary.

Although Mu Ziyang didn't know Manager Guan, he had heard of him.

His grandfather originally wanted to invite Manager Guan to dinner, but was rejected.

The stature is high.

Now he is so humble in front of Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen. Don't make the contrast too strong.

Mu Ziyang felt that Qiu Shui could definitely not be just a professional chess player.

Qiu Shui said calmly, "Manager Guan, you are too polite."

Lou Yuchen just nodded faintly and replied politely.

Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen just need to listen to what was going on for them as they rushed back from other places.

I don't believe what he says at all.

Seeing that Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen didn't seem to like him, Manager Guan didn't get angry, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

He waved to the waiter behind him, and the waiter immediately placed the wine in his hand on the table.

"Gentlemen, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind. I won't bother you any more. If you have any needs or requests, you can contact me at any time."

Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen nodded.

"Then ladies and gentlemen, I wish you a pleasant meal."

Manager Guan politely left with the waiters after they had served all the dishes.

During the entire process, Manager Guan didn't even glance at Yang Kun.

Yang Kun looked extremely embarrassed. I could only sit down dejectedly. I didn't dare to say a word.

However, Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen became the focus.

"Qiu Shui, you guys are amazing. The hotel manager actually personally brought you wine and greeted you."

"Let me see what kind of wine this is."

A male classmate next to him took the wine.

"Oh my god, Golden Bottle White Dragon?"

"Golden Zun White Dragon? No way? Let me take a look."

"Oh my god, it's really the Golden Cup White Dragon. This wine costs hundreds of thousands. This manager actually gave hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of wine to Qiu Shui and the others. It's really awesome."

"Why would you send such an expensive wine? Qiushui, do you know that Manager Guan?"

Everyone looked at Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen at the same time.

“No.”

Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen both met this manager for the first time today.

"Don't know him? That's impossible."

"Yeah, Qiu Shui, you're such a joker. How could someone give you such expensive wine if you don't know them?"

There's no way they would believe it anyway.

A bottle of wine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. No one present, except Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen, had ever drunk such expensive wine.

This one bite will cost tens of thousands.

"I really don't know him." Lou Yuchen said, "We just booked a few rooms in this hotel."

"How many rooms did you book? What rooms?" Xiao Ying couldn't help but ask.

Qiu Shui said casually, "Oh, it seems to be the presidential suite. It's been booked for more than ten days, right?"

Xiao Ying was shocked. "What? We booked a presidential suite for more than ten days? The presidential suite here costs more than 50,000 a day."

"You've booked several rooms?" Mu Ziyang was also shocked and asked, "I remember there are only five presidential suites here, right? You didn't book all of them, did you?"

Qiu Shui blinked, "Yes. Any questions?"

Everyone present was stunned.

Have questions?

Of course there is a problem.

If we book all five presidential suites, it would cost more than 200,000 yuan a day.

If it’s for more than ten days, that would be several million.

Qiu Shui actually spent several million to stay in a hotel?

No wonder the manager was respectful to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen.

It turned out that it was because Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen used their money abilities.

These two are too rich.
