Tang Qing silently recited his personal information in his mind.

All together, he had more than one billion RMB. After deducting funds from exchange rate arbitrage, only over four hundred million RMB was usable. This amount indeed wasn’t much compared to his assets. It was a bit of a pity that Asia Dollars couldn’t be exchanged into other currencies, otherwise, his funds would easily exceed tens of billions in a minute.
Even if he could exchange it, Tang Qing wouldn’t choose to. Because in that case, the amount wouldn’t count towards the currency issuance quota, which was totally a waste. Seeing over a billion of his funds, Tang Qing felt like he was about to run dry.
Looking at the curious face of Chai Ren, Tang Qing smiled bitterly, "I’ve been a bit strapped for cash recently, only have a bit over four hundred million, and that’s in RMB." This really wasn’t a show-off. Four hundred million didn’t feel like much to him. He couldn’t say ’I have as much as you want’.
Upon hearing Tang Qing’s response,
Chai Ren stopped in his tracks, turned his head sharply to look at Tang Qing, opened his mouth, and was dumbfounded.
His words were like a sword, piercing his chest, making him feel suffocated.
He wanted to say ’that hurts, bro.’
Just over four hundred million.
Over four hundred million.
Four hundred million.
Hundred million.
Million. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
.
That phrase kept echoing in Chai Ren’s mind, along with that word ’just’. It was so damn heartbreaking. He felt like a local tyrant, he thought Tang Qing would only have around tens of millions worth of funds at most. Recently, the Sheng Tang Group took out a loan, and the Sky Eye also took on tasks from outside.
All signs pointed to Tang Qing being short on money.
However, this sudden revelation was dozens of times more than he’d expected. Are you sure you’re not here to crush me?
"Brother Tang, where did you get this money from?" Chai Ren asked, stupefied. Such a large sum of money made him curious. Though he feared that it might seem like he was prying into people’s private matters, keeping it to himself was just too uncomfortable.
Tang Qing said, "Of course I earned it. My friend is also a financial expert, he plays with gold, oil, agricultural product futures, and exchange rates, etc. He previously loaned me some money, so I let him help me make more."
"So you still have some money with him?" Chai Ren was even more surprised.
"A little, not much." Tang Qing spoke vaguely. To make it easier to explain his money in the future, he had to tell another lie. After all, there isn’t some friend who always gives away money. Do people think everyone’s a fool?
"Then why didn’t you invest this four hundred million RMB?" Chai Ren asked again, confused. Having money and not making more, but leaving it in the bank, he couldn’t understand that for a moment.
"No, his setup involves a filing system and there’s a limit to capital operation. He can’t invest too much, he distributes profits once a month. Of course, he’ll distribute profits when he earns, and if he loses, I’ll need to make up for it." Tang Qing continued his lie, better fleshing out his logic.
Upon hearing his words,
Chai Ren said no more.
He originally thought Tang Qing didn’t have much money, but unexpectedly, he was even more of a local tyrant than himself. Chai Ren’s money was basically all converted into industries, and operational capital. Although he had more cash than Tang Qing, he couldn’t spend it recklessly.
On the other hand, Tang Qing’s funds could obviously be used for whatever he wanted, and money was sent to his card periodically. Chai Ren wanted to get involved in this business, it was literally making money while lying down. Unfortunately, he probably wasn’t qualified right now. All he could do was make sure he got along well with Tang Qing, and see if he had a chance to participate in the future.
"Brother Tang, I thought you were short on money, never thought you’d have this much." Chai Ren laughed bitterly. He no longer dwelled on the matter. Otherwise, he’d definitely feel imbalanced.
He put so much effort into making money, traveling worldwide to buy mines, negotiating everywhere, sometimes even taking risks, often exhausted beyond measure. Yet Tang Qing could just attend school, hang out with his sweetheart, loiter around and still make money while lying down.
He started to doubt whether he was the second generation rich or if Tang Qing was.
This was what you’d call a winner in life!
"I’m not as rich as young master Chai." Tang Qing said modestly.
"Haha, good. I just partnered with two friends to develop real estate in Beijing. I’ll call them over tonight to discuss the details. You just need to put in the money and collect your profits later. Just like with your friend."
"No problem. Is four hundred million enough?" Tang Qing stabbed another knife in.
"..."
"That’ll be enough. It should be enough." Chai Ren was speechless. It seemed like this guy could still move more funds. But when he thought about it, that made sense. Seeing his mysterious and powerful friend, money was indeed not a big deal.
"That’s good then. Come on, they’ve gone far." After Tang Qing finished speaking, he and Chai Ren quickly walked towards where the three girls were.
Up ahead.
"Sister Jiaxue, how long have you known Tang Qing?" Zhan Xi, holding Lin Jiaxue’s hand, asked curiously.
"We’ve known each other since childhood, we’re neighbors in the village," Lin Jiaxue honestly replied.
"I envy you. Why don’t I have my own childhood sweetheart turned prince? I only managed to marry my current husband." Miao Ru pouted, but the happiness in her eyes indicated that she was content with her marriage.
"Sister Miao is already married?" Lin Jiaxue questioned.
"Indeed! I’m not young anymore either. I got married two years ago. My husband is my university classmate. We’re planning to have a child this year." Miao Ru’s face was filled with excitement as she talked about it. Having just married two years ago, she was incredibly lovey-dovey but they didn’t rush to have a child. Now as she’s getting older, she’s starting to feel the urge.
"That’s great," Lin Jiaxue commented.
"What about you? You’ve got such a good boyfriend, when are you two getting married?" Miao Ru asked, showing no sense of propriety befitting a teacher. In university, there’s nothing wrong with dating.
"He said we’ll marry after graduating from university," Lin Jiaxue replied in a low voice.
"Is that so? Aren’t you going to graduate school? No wait, you can still go to graduate school after getting married. What does sister Jiaxue’s family do?" Miao Ru asked casually.
"Doing a bit of small business." Lin Jiaxue also learned to be modest.
"..."
Everyone chatted happily.
Lin Jiaxue occasionally initiated conversation. In recent times, seeing the many people Tang Qing interacted with, she realized that being too introverted wasn’t good. Tang Qing’s future achievements would definitely be extraordinary, and as his wife, she naturally had to attend many occasions.
If she continued to be introverted, she would undoubtedly embarrass Tang Qing.
Therefore.
She was slowly trying to make some changes, not aiming to become a chatterbox, but just trying not to embarrass Tang Qing in public. Tang Qing loved everything about her, but that was not the reason for her to stand still.
Through all the chatting and questioning, Zhan Xi and Miao Ru have completely accepted Tang Qing and others. As future neighbors, and possibly even their own students, the relationship between Miao Ru and Lin Jiaxue progressed rapidly.
Three hours later.
Under Zhan Xi’s lead, they strolled around intermittently and finished visiting almost all the main attractions of the Palace Museum. To be honest, Tang Qing felt that all tourist spots across the country were the same. Once seen, the novelty dwindles quickly. The beautiful scenery in promotional pictures was just okay when experienced in person.
Sometimes.
Traveling.
Is not as good as just looking at pictures.
It is better to keep the picturesque scenery in imagination, rather than destroy it by witnessing it in person.
Arriving at the Gate of Divine Prowess.
Li Kai and Feng Sen were already waiting there bored.
The Palace Museum, interspersed with countless stories, without a guide, it’s just a few rooms. Not much to watch. Tang Qing laughed. These two came in vain. Everyone walked up to them.
"Both of you, next time you come for a visit, find a tour guide. It’s not fun to just look around." Tang Qing laughed as he looked at them.
"We just joined a tour group, but we were driven away." Li Kai smiled bitterly. It was funny to recall. They had tried to listen in on a small seven-person tour group, but were scared off by just one glance from the tour guide.
"Couldn’t you find one yourself?" Tang Qing gave him a glance.
"If we did that, who knows how long we would be there." Li Kai whispered.
With this group of strangers around, the two of them decided to come out early to avoid having Chai Ren and the girls wait for them if they got carried away sightseeing. They didn’t have the guts to do that.
Upon hearing that, Tang Qing understood.
"Alright then, let’s go. Chai Da Shao, which way?"
Chai Ren pointed in a direction, "Over there, my men parked the car there. Later, the ladies will take one car, and the rest of us another. I’ll drive, otherwise we won’t all fit." said Chai Ren.
"Okay."
Following that, Chai Ren led the way in the car, and everyone arrived at the Quanjude Restaurant in Wangfujing.
They weren’t far away, a few turns and they arrived.
Good heavens.
It was now in the afternoon, and there were so many people. They initially planned to take food away, but Chai Ren decided to eat first then takeaway.
"Thankfully, I reserved a seat, otherwise we would have to queue, or only get takeaways." Chai Ren said.
Following the waiter’s guide, they arrived at a table.
In his previous life, Tang Qing really didn’t visit here. However, the anticipation in this life wasn’t strong. Compared to being delicious, nothing tasted better than the food from the training area. This was just eating the fame, eating the novelty.
Sure enough.
The dishes were served.
With Tang Qing’s nearly abnormal taste buds, he quickly analyzed the ingredients in the dish. At this point, he could only say, "Hehe," and quickly shut off most of his taste receptors, leaving them at an ordinary level.
Hmm.
This frequency was okay.
"Old Tang, it’s delicious, eat more quickly." Li Kai did not stand on ceremony and started eating in big bites.
"I won’t eat..." Tang Qing picked up the rolled ones and began to eat them one by one. However, the waiter who rolled them was too slow, it just wasn’t enough. Forget it, he decided to go back and let his fighters learn how to do it. Eating this way just wasn’t satisfying.
"What were you talking about just now?" Zhan Xi asked curiously. Watching Tang Qing eat heartily, surprisingly she also had a good appetite, and was eating with her mouth full of oil.
"Nothing, I was acting as a guide, introducing the history of the Palace Museum." Chai Ren said, it wasn’t appropriate to discuss business with Zhan Xi right now.
"Really?" Zhan Xi asked suspiciously; she wasn’t easy to fool.
"Absolutely." Chai Ren could only take an oath.
"I believe you. Jiaxue sister, why don’t you stay a few days longer and let Chai Ren take you around for a few more days?" Zhan Xi turned her head and said to Lin Jiaxue.
"I..." Lin Jiaxue hesitated.
She looked at Tang Qing, waiting for his decision, as she listens to Tang Qing.
Zhan Xi and Miao Ru both looked at Tang Qing swiftly, their eyes full of ’try not to agree’ expressions.
"Um, well, Brother Chai is so busy, he doesn’t have that much time." Tang Qing originally wanted to go sightseeing by himself. It wasn’t good to always bother others.
"Chai Ren has time, right?" Zhan Xi looked at Chai Ren and said.
"Yes, yes, I’m free." Chai Ren hastily nodded.
"Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you." Tang Qing had no choice but to agree. This family was very hospitable.
"What trouble? If not for Chai Ren’s new villa still being decorated, I would have invited you to stay at my house. By the way, where are they staying?" Zhan Xi asked again.
"Autumn Palace."
"Oh, it’s Wan San’s place, alright. I don’t have surgery the day after tomorrow, so we can play together then." Zhan Xi happily said, and also felt relieved. ’Autumn Palace’ wasn’t some sort of messy place.
