Chapter 4: I’m Very Poor Too!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Luxurious? I find it just so-so.”
How could this be just so-so?
Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian started doubting life.
Was there anything wrong with their aesthetics?
No. While the two girls were shocked by Chu Chen’s remark that the helicopter was just so-so, they suddenly thought of what Chu Chen said next.
“This helicopter is just so-so. The other helicopters are better.”
It seemed that this was the key point!
This helicopter. The other helicopters. This was the key point that should be underlined!
According to Chu Chen, he seemed to have other helicopters. Specifically, he had at least two more helicopters. Otherwise he would directly say “the other helicopter”!
The two girls were completely stunned!
In their view, it was already remarkable to have one helicopter. Now, Chu Chen told them that he had several!
Gosh!
Was he a rich redneck?
No. An affluent man with an ordinary appearance was called a rich redneck. But a man like Chu Chen counted as a superb, tall, rich, handsome man!
Was he a superb, tall, rich, handsome man?
In an instant, countless small red hearts appeared before the two girls’ eyes.
“Are you my Brother Chen?”
Bai Lingling gazed at Chu Chen dubiously.
“Ah.”
On hearing this, Chu Chen sighed slightly and helplessly.
“Since you asked, let me tell you the truth.”
Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian immediately looked toward Chu Chen without blinking lest they should miss one word Chu Chen said.
They thought that Chu Chen would explain that he had just lied to them.
“I’ll show my hand. I’m actually the richest person here!”
Chu Chen shrugged as he told them the truth.
“Eh?”
Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes!
The richest person here?
How could he be the richest at the age of 21or 22?
The two girls did not believe Chu Chen’s words.
“Boo. If you’re the richest man here, I’m the richest woman in the universe!”
Bai Lingling glared at Chu Chen.
Although Chu Chen’s father and Bai Lingling’s father were colleagues, Bai Lingling’s family was more affluent than Chu Chen’s by comparison.
Bai Lingling had a grandfather whose household was relocated due to building demolition.
“It’s okay if you guys don’t believe me.”
He had already told the truth. If they didn’t believe him, he could do nothing else.
Ding!
[You have succeeded in clocking in on the campus of Tiannan University!]
[Congratulations on acquiring superb driving skills. From now on, you can drive a Ferrari single-handedly!]
The voice of the system sounded through Chu Chen’s mind. Chu Chen succeeded in clocking in and gained superb driving skills. From now on, he could drive!
In the meanwhile, a driving license appeared in Chu Chen’s pack, logically justifying his new skill.
“By the way, where do you want to go to have a meal?”
Chu Chen asked for their opinions.
“Eh… Let’s go to Xiang Man Yuan!”
Bai Lingling thought for a while.
She did not believe that Brother Chen was so rich. She guessed that Brother Chen might work in a private airport or have a friend who was a wealthy man’s pilot.
Therefore, she did not choose an expensive restaurant. Instead, she chose Xiang Man Yuan, for it cost around one hundred yuan per person and the dishes there tasted good.
“Okay.”
Since Lingling wanted to have a meal there, Chu Chen did not reject the idea.
Xiang Man Yuan was in a street full of restaurants. The helicopter could not descend there.
So Chu Chen found a relatively quiet landing spot and alighted from the helicopter with the two girls.
“We still need to walk for more than ten minutes. Shall we walk, or?”
Chu Chen did not care either way, so he asked.
“There are public bicycles. Let’s go by bike,” Bai Lingling suggested.
Chu Chen scanned the code and got a public bike.
“Sorry, I forgot to bring my cell phone.”
Zhou Qian found that she forgot to bring her cell phone after looking for it for a while, so she admitted this in embarrassment.
“That’s fine. Will you sit behind me?”
Chu Chen made an offer.
Zhou Qian’s eyes lit up as she heard him. She really forgot to bring her cell phone. When she went out with Lingling just now, she did not plan to eat out with her.
But somehow, as soon as she saw Chu Chen, she lost control of her legs and instantly chose to stay with Bai Lingling.
“There’s no need, Qianqian. I brought my cell phone. I can get a bike for you.”
Before Zhou Qian had time to speak, Bai Lingling enthusiastically got a bike for her and pushed it out.
“Thank you.”
Zhou Qian was very grateful as she took the bike. Bai Lingling was a great friend!
“Okay, let’s go.”
In the next second, however, Zhou Qian froze on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning.
After passing the bike to Zhou Qian, Bai Lingling did not take another bike. Instead, she directly sat behind Chu Chen and hugged his waist.
Seeing this, Zhou Qian wanted to cry!
Damn!
Was she a good friend?!
It was just a plastic relationship between them!
She finally understood the reason why Bai Lingling was eager to help her.
“Let’s go.”
Hugging Chu Chen’s waist, Bai Lingling smiled.
You betrayed me because of him!
Zhou Qian waved her little fist at Bai Lingling.
How could she lose such a great chance?
“Let’s go.”
Chu Chen rode ahead.
Behind Chu Chen, Bai Lingling stuck her tongue out at Zhou Qian provocatively.
It seemed that she was saying Brother Chen was hers and Zhou Qian could not take him from her. Ha ha!
Nasty Lingling, wait and see!
Zhou Qian got very angry. She immediately got on her bike to follow.
It seemed that Zhou Qian exercised frequently, for she rode very fast. She arrived at Xiang Man Yuan earlier than Chu Chen, stopped her bike, and walked inside the restaurant.
“You can go inside first, I’ll go park the bike.”
Chu Chen said this after bringing Bai Lingling before Xiang Man Yuan.
“Brother Chen, be quick.”
After these words, Bai Lingling walked inside. Chu Chen went to the parking spot alone.
After Chu Chen parked the public bike, he suddenly heard someone call him from behind.
“Chu Chen?”
Chu Chen turned and saw a thin young man.
“It’s really you, Chu Chen. I’m Dong Guanghao, your classmate from high school.”
The thin young man greeted him warmly.
Chu Chen remembered him. Dong Guanghao was academically weak at that time. He did not go to college after graduating from high school. Instead, he chose to work. The two men’s relationship was so-so.
After shaking hands, the two men talked with each other.
“Are you coming to have a meal by bike?”
Dong Guanghao asked this as he glanced at Chu Chen’s public bike and Xiang Man Yuan beside him.
“Uh-huh.”
Chu Chen nodded.
Staring at Chu Chen, Dong Guanghao felt pity.
“I envy you college students, you’re so free. Look at me, I’m too busy. Moreover, I’m poor. Until now, I’ve only acquired a small hotel that’s worth one million yuan.
“Chu Chen, you were the most handsome in our class. You must be wealthy now!”
Currently, showing one’s wealth was not popular. It was popular to pretend to be poor!
It would be fantastic to pretend to be poor before classmates first, then suddenly expose one’s wealth and see everybody’s surprised gazes!
It would be tremendously fantastic!!
“I’m poor too.”
Chu Chen spoke helplessly. He only had a group that was worth ten billion yuan. He could be called the richest person in Jiangzhou at most. He was far from the richest person in China or the richest person in the world.
He had not succeeded in becoming rich yet. He still had to work hard!
“I can see.”
Glancing at Chu Chen’s public bike, Dong Guanghao spoke unnaturally.
“I have other things to do. I’m about to leave.”
Saying so, Dong Guanghao clicked the key of his car. Next to him, a Honda that was worth more than two hundred thousand yuan made a sound.
Patting his Honda, Dong Guanghao asked Chu Chen something.
“Have you heard of our classmates’ reunion scheduled several days from now?”
Chu Chen slightly nodded.
Previously, he saw the message of the reunion in the chat group. At that time, he did not take it seriously.
At that time, he was nothing more than a poor handsome student. Why should he go to the reunion to invite abuse?
“You must go to the reunion!”
Dong Guanghao urged him!
“Many classmates want to see you.”
“Okay, I’ll be there.”
Since this was the case, Chu Chen found it hard to reject the invitation.
Chu Chen stopped talking with Dong Guanghao and went inside Xiang Man Yuan.
Dong Guanghao’ smile instantly faded as he saw Chu Chen leave. He snorted contemptuously.
“The focus of the class, the most handsome Chu Chen, turned out to be like this. Isn’t he shameless to ride a public bike?”
Dong Guanghao was extremely proud of himself.
When they were in school at that time, Chu Chen was always surrounded by countless girls. Dong Guanghao was mediocre.
But now, Dong Guanghao drove a car that was worth more than two hundred thousand yuan and had a hotel that was worth one million. His career prospects were getting increasingly better!
On the contrary, Chu Chen’s were getting increasingly worse.
“Damn. Rubbish.”
Dong Guanghao spat contemptuously. Suddenly, he thought of something and took out his cell phone.
