Chapter 1042: Chapter 1047 You Know Nothing

Petra looked for a long time, and when she looked up again, she had finished reading all the documents.

"Thank you for bringing these to me. I must admit, these... documents have indeed changed some of my long-held beliefs and confirmed some of my guesses."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "You’re welcome, I’m honored, if there is nothing else..."

He pointed to the documents with his fingers, and with an apologetic face, Yang Yi said, "If you have finished reading them, then I will pack them up."

Petra nodded slightly, then she brushed her hair with her hand, but other than that, Petra made no further gestures.

Didn’t the perfume work?

Theoretically, the perfume should have taken effect by now.

Yang Yi started gathering all the documents, just then, Petra suddenly said, "Mr. Yang, where are you staying in New York?"

"Hotel, and please, just call me Yang Yi."

Yang Yi responded with a gentle smile, then he glanced at his watch.

Petra was briefly silent, then she smiled and said, "You can call me Petra, um, did you come here for a trip?"

Was she making small talk, or did she have another idea?

Just as Yang Yi was thinking about how to answer, he heard Anton’s voice for the first time in his ear.

"I came to New York to meet a stranger in an unfamiliar place."

It was utterly nonsensical, but Yang Yi repeated Anton’s words, because he felt it was better to trust Anton in this matter.

After finishing the sentence, Anton slowly said, "She’s beginning to be curious about you, this is a good start."

Petra looked puzzled and said, "To meet a stranger?"

"Yes, to meet."

Yang Yi smiled casually, then he calmly said, "Life requires adventure, but it’s hard to get a sense of adventure in an environment you’re very familiar with, isn’t it?"

Petra fell into deep thought, and at that moment, Yang Yi continued smiling, "Of course, if possible, I might also do some business along the way."

"I also want to take risks, but my situation doesn’t allow it."

Yang Yi shrugged and said, "Yes, I understand, because people always have to face reality. Some people can write their own lives, and some people live their lives according to someone else’s plan, which is very normal."

Petra sighed lightly, then she said somewhat sadly, "It seems that I am like that."

"Oh, really?"

"I went to college chosen by my father, my job was arranged by my father, I... I don’t really want to be a banker."

Yang Yi glanced at Petra, smiled, and said, "You are beautiful and have a very successful father, you had everything from birth, so it’s very normal for you to follow your father’s plan, isn’t it? No one’s life is perfect."

Petra smiled faintly and said, "I’m engaged."

"Oh? Congratulations."

Yang Yi still wore a casual face, then he smiled and said, "Truly a model of a successful life."

Petra hesitated, then she sighed lightly and said to Yang Yi, "Are you mocking me?"

What should he say next?

Yang Yi pondered, though he was pretending to think; actually, he was waiting for Anton to finish speaking.

Anton spoke quickly, expressing emotions clearly, and his words took Yang Yi by surprise.

Following Anton’s lead, wouldn’t he be thrown out?

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Yi forced himself to be calm and said, "Did you notice that? Oh, sorry, it’s not exactly mockery, or rather, I’m not targeting you, I just look down on all second-generation wealthy because I’m a first-generation wealthy, the one who creates wealth."

After finishing, Yang Yi picked up his wine glass, then he said evenly, "As someone who creates and accumulates wealth, it’s hard to regard someone who is just waiting to inherit wealth equally, sorry, was that too straightforward? It might hurt your pride?"

Petra remained silent.

Yang Yi took a sip of his wine, then he set down the wine glass and said, "If a poor person says this, then it’s out of jealousy, but my words are clearly not out of jealousy because I’m already very successful, and I will be even more successful in the future, so naturally, I have the right to stand at the top of the disdain chain, most importantly, I! I am free!"

After finishing, Yang Yi smiled and said, "Of course, having successful parents is not a sin, I know many people who have inherited their family businesses, some are very successful, some are very unsuccessful, inheriting a business from your parents is not that simple, so I respect those who have proven their strength, I look down on those who can only rely on their family and their ancestors’ glory, that’s normal, isn’t it?"

After questioning, Yang Yi looked at his watch and said, "It’s getting late, I think..."

Petra suddenly said, "So how successful are you? How much wealth do you need to be able to say these things?"

Yang Yi shrugged and said, "Wealth? A few billion US Dollars, I’m personally satisfied with it, but not yet content, actually the amount of wealth doesn’t matter to me, because my financial situation is very healthy, I have so much cash flow I can never spend it all, fortunately, I still have ambitions, so most likely I can only spend my remaining life on adventures, life is short, since I already have enough strength, I certainly can’t waste it."

Petra was really surprised, she exclaimed, "A few billion US Dollars? Are you serious? You’re very young, how do you have such a large fortune?"

Yang Yi laughed and said, "That’s... a secret."

Petra exhaled, leaned back, and said in a low voice, "Your money is from an illegitimate source, right? Otherwise, there’s nothing to keep secret, when someone owns more than a billion US Dollars, then his assets would be very famous, I don’t know of any young Asian who owns over a billion US Dollars in assets, most importantly, he is self-made!"

Yang Yi chuckled and said, "You don’t know many things, luckily I don’t need to explain to you, because you’re already engaged, and until now you haven’t intrigued me enough."

When these words were spoken, Yang Yi’s heart raced heavily, Petra ejected him.

Petra certainly appeared insulted, and said, "You’re too ungentlemanly."

Yang Yi sighed, then he spread his hands and said, "I’m lonely because I’m too excellent, no one can share with me, take one of my hobbies for instance, you think you know a lot about the universe, right? You think you’re a conspiracy theorist, that you hold the truth in your own hands? But sorry, believe me, in my view, you know nothing."
