Honestly, I am Mr. Richest - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Sorry for the Good Looks

“Who are you?”

Wang Hongming questioned Chu Chen in a confrontational tone.

“Shishi’s brother’s friend.”

Before Chu Chen was able to answer, a girl next to them responded automatically.

“Her brother’s friend?”

Wang Hongming showed a mysterious smile at the sight of Chu Chen.

“A poor university student, that makes everything easy.”

Chu Chen could sense Wang Hongming’s intentions. Then he took a look at Han Shishi and the girls, realizing what was going on instantly.

At this point, Chu Chen felt a twinge of guilt.

“I am so, sorry for being too good-looking and making all the girls pay attention to me.”

If he had not been here, Wang Hongming might have managed to win over Han Shishi and the girls.

But now the girls had seen him, and Chu Chen believed that Wang Hongming was not going to have any such opportunity in life.

What a poor guy!

“Where are we going?”

The whole gang arrived, following Wang Hongming.

Wang Hongming, the son of a rich man, suggested that he should take over the task of deciding the schedule of the trip.

“We are going to Mount Lingyun and Fulong Temple, and tomorrow, we are going to…”

Wang Hongming presented the schedule.

“Why are we not going to Linyue Lake?”

One of Han Shishi’s best friends asked.

Her name was Zhao Xuan; it had been she who exclaimed at the sight of Chu Chen’s good looks.

“Yeah, Linyue Lake is the most beautiful site in Tianan Province.”

Wang Hongming’s friends asked about this as well.

“I want to go there too, but Linyue Lake is not a tourism site any more. A villa community has been built alongside and it’s become private scenery for the people in the villa. No one is allowed to enter.”

Wang Hongming answered helplessly.

“What a pity!”

“Terrible rich people!”

Everyone felt sorry about that.

Hearing these words, Chu Chen felt his nose and his facial expression slightly changed.

He seemed to be one of those terrible rich people…

“But Brother Ming, we’re not going to Shuitian Manor either, are we?”

“I heard from Yuan that Tianshui Village is the place with the most fun in Jiangzhou!”

Wang Hongming’s friend added.

For these young people, they were more interested in fun places than natural landscapes.

“I heard that too, let’s go to Tianshui Village!”

Zhao Xuan spoke up too.

“Yes, let’s go to Tianshui Village first!”

“Tianshui Village!”

Everyone else agreed with the suggestion.

Hearing these words, Han Shishi also looked quite interested.

“I heard the tickets to Tianshui Village are not so easy to purchase, they could be quite expensive too.”

Han Shishi spoke hesitantly.

Wang Hongming suddenly got inspired—this was a great opportunity!

A very great opportunity for him!

It was time for him to show off his capabilities so Han Shishi could admire him.

Those tickets were nothing!

He would definitely be able to get the tickets with the help of family.

“Just leave it to me.”

Wang Hongming promised confidently.

“My uncle runs a company in Jiangzhou and is friends with many bigshots here, so it’s easy for me to get those tickets.”

Wang Hongming said proudly.

“He knows the bigshots?”

“Brother Ming, you’re so great.”

“Nothing will be a problem as long as Brother Ming is here.”

Everyone turned to Wang Hongming with looks of admiration and envy.

Wang Hongming felt extremely proud receiving praise from these people.

With a superior look on face, Wang Hongming threw a provocative glance at Chu Chen, mocking Chu Chen for his uselessness.

“Uncle, can you get eight tickets to Tianshui Village for me today?”

Wang Hongming asked.

“Eight tickets to Tianshui Village?”

Wang Hongming’s uncle was startled on the other side of the phone. His nephew knew nothing!

“Hang on.”

Wang Hongming’s uncle was not sure if he was able to get the tickets.

Honestly, the tickets for Tianshui Village were all bought ahead of time, and only 300 tickets were released every single day. Normally, the tickets were sold out 20 days prior to schedule.

“My uncle is working on it, soon it’ll be all settled.”

“Let’s get going.”

Wang Hongming was completely confident as he left.

The car he rented must have arrived by this point.

In order to show off his wealth in front of his friends, he spent tens of thousands of yuan renting two Maseratis, which were worth 1.5 million yuan.

When the Maseratis arrived, everyone was going to be shocked.

Then Chu Chen would be nothing compared to him!

“Brother Ming is great!”

“Brother Ming, you’re a bigshot!”

As they were praising him, Wang Hongming’s phone rang and his uncle’s call arrived.

“I have none.”

Before Wang Hongming was able to say anything, Wang Hongming’s uncle spoke.

“How can that be possible?”

Wang Hongming was shocked.

Everyone around him exchanged looks hearing these words.

“I asked around but no one is able to do anything about it. The tickets are sold out.”

“What about tomorrow?”

“None.”

“The day after tomorrow?”

“None even 20 days from now, and no pre-sale for any tickets even afterward!”

Having said the words, Uncle hung up directly, leaving Wang Hongming standing there, dumbfounded.

He had just promised that he was going to get the tickets, but now he could get none.

“No tickets available, they are sold out for the following 20 days.”

Wang Hongming said embarrassedly.

“It’s okay.”

“Yes, it’s okay, we don’t have to go there.”

Wang Hongming’s friends tried to help Wang Hongming out.

Wang Hongming spoke with a positive tone, trying to explain himself.

“The tickets at Shuitian Manor are too valuable, always pre-booked, so no one is able to get the tickets for today!”

“Do you really want to go there?”

Chu Chen asked Han Shishi and her friends.

“Of course.”

Zhao Xuan replied without hesitation.

“I can get the tickets.”

Hearing these words, Wang Hongming suddenly turned displeased.

“You can get the tickets? You’re just a poor university student, stop pretending!”

“Even my uncle can’t get the tickets, no one is able to get the tickets, not even the gods! Let alone you!”

Wang Hongming sneered.

“Watch your mouth, Wang Hongming!”

“Brother Chu is helping us, it’s okay even if he can’t get those tickets.”

Han Shishi stepped out and spoke for Chu Chen.

“Yes!”

Zhao Xuan and the other girl stepped out too.

“Yes, eight people, you will handle that, Manager Li.”

Chu Chen was of course going to get the tickets, even though no one else was able to.

Shuitian Manor was his property!

“Shishi, give me your phone number.”

“It is…” Han Shishi replied.

“Done.”

Everyone was shocked by this point.

Done?

So fast?

Even Wang Hongming had to wait for a while before news of failure arrived.

But Chu Chen was already done? After a brief call on the phone?

How could that be possible?

“Brother Chu is great!”

Han Shishi exclaimed, looking just like an admirer!

“You’re great!”

“Incredible!”

Everyone felt so gratified.

“That is a lie, right? I don’t believe you!”

Only Wang Hongming was not convinced.

“Are you trying to trick us!”

“If you can get the tickets, my family name is yours!”

At this point, Han Shishi’s phone rang and a text message arrived.

Han Shishi automatically read it aloud.

“Miss Han Shishi, Shuitian Manor is reminding you that your eight tickets are successfully booked. Welcome to Shuitian Manor! Have a nice trip!”
