Chapter 342: Chapter 332: Hiking Prices While Sitting

The young man known as Young Brother had already discerned that Long Chen was no ordinary person.

But he still couldn’t believe that Long Chen could take on more than ten opponents alone.

Even if an NBA expert were here, he felt they couldn’t handle these dozen brothers who hung out at the basketball court every day.

"Are you guys ready?"

At this moment, Long Chen, who had already walked back beyond the three-point line, looked towards Young Brother and the group.

"Ready, bring it on."

Young Brother said seriously.

As Young Brother prepared himself, the people around focused intently on the court.

Even some people who were playing hard nearby couldn’t help but stop and watch.

Long Chen dribbled the ball and smiled at Young Brother, "Are you sure you’re ready? No regrets?"

"No regrets, stop dawdling, hurry up."

Young Brother said impatiently.

"Your wish is my command."

Long Chen’s mouth curved into a smile.

Then, he suddenly burst forward two steps.

Seeing this, Young Brother immediately tried to block him.

But just as Young Brother thought to block him, Long Chen took off from where he was.

His figure soared over Young Brother’s head, heading straight for the hoop "flying."

Mid-flight, Long Chen changed positions three times in the air, finally moving the ball from between his legs to his right hand and fiercely dunking it.

Bang.

The basketball hit the ground hard and bounced high.

At that moment, the entire place went utterly silent.

Everyone was dumbstruck. Dunking from the three-point line, was that even humanly possible?

Everyone doubted their own eyes, but the truth was right there before them, undeniable.

"Long Chen, you’re so cool."

Xia Ling clapped vigorously, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

After she applauded, she instantly ignited the entire crowd, with the thunderous applause lasting a long time.

"He’s a god."

"If he went to the NBA, he could instantly crush any current superstar."

"Awesome."

"Truly terrifying, dunking from the three-point line with such incredible jumping ability, I’ve only heard of in legends."

"Too cool."

"I want this handsome guy’s WeChat."

Such comments were heard everywhere.

"Want to compete more?"

Long Chen looked at Young Brother.

Young Brother’s mouth was slightly open, clearly stunned as well.

Hearing Long Chen’s words, Young Brother quickly shook his head, "No... no more competition, we admit defeat. You really have the skills to take us all on. I’ll keep my promise, let me treat you to a meal at Qianzhou Restaurant, you can pick any place."

"If you want to treat me to a meal, it’s not that easy to persuade me. Forget about the meal. From now on, keep a low profile, don’t be too arrogant, and don’t show off just because you see someone’s girlfriend is pretty, got it?"

Long Chen asked lightly.

"Understood, I’m ashamed."

Young Brother didn’t dare to talk back anymore.

"Alright then, that’s settled."

Long Chen waved his hand.

But just as Long Chen was about to return to Xia Ling’s side, a group of girls suddenly surrounded him.

"Handsome, can I add your WeChat? A phone number would do as well."

"You’re really handsome, God of Men, please friend me."

"I want to add you too."

A swarm of girls engulfed Long Chen.

Long Chen gave a wry smile and looked toward Xia Ling for help.

However, Xia Ling stood still, intentionally wanting to see how Long Chen would handle it.

Seeing that Xia Ling wasn’t coming to his rescue, Long Chen had a bright idea and pulled out his phone.

When Xia Ling saw this, she immediately panicked, and quickly stood up. Wearing high heels, she clacked forward.

The tall and impressive Xia Ling, upon standing up, exuded a commanding presence.

"He’s my man, please don’t trouble him, ladies."

Xia Ling said as she walked.

The group of girls turned their heads to look, and upon seeing Xia Ling, they all backed away consciously.

Because Xia Ling’s presence was too overwhelming, and she was as beautiful as any female celebrity, making them feel inferior.

Xia Ling came to Long Chen’s side, holding his arm.

The two of them stood together, inciting envy from everyone around, both men and women, many of whom could only cast admiring looks.

Right then, Long Chen’s phone rang.

He glanced at the screen—it was the basketball court manager.

After answering, Long Chen didn’t wait for him to speak and directly said, "Wait for me at the entrance of the basketball court. By the way, what color is your clothing?"

"I’m already at the entrance; I’m in a black suit with a slicked-back hairstyle."

"Good."

Long Chen hung up and walked out of the basketball court with Xia Ling.

At the entrance, Long Chen met the manager.

"Hello, hello, my name is Gao Qiu."

Manager Gao Qiu reached out his hand.

After a brief handshake with him, Long Chen said, "My name is Long Chen. Can you fetch your boss for me?"

"He might be quite busy; I am handling all the matters here. I can take full responsibility, of course, but for some issues, I still need my boss’s approval.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, the boss is my uncle."

Gao Qiu smiled.

"If your boss is not coming, then there’s not much point in you being here. I need to talk directly with the boss. For your part, mediating between us, if the deal succeeds, I will give you a bonus, and I promise you won’t be shortchanged. If it fails, I will still give you a hardship fee, considering you’ve put in effort traveling back and forth. What do you say?"

Long Chen asked Gao Qiu.

"This... I’ll give it a try. Please, both of you, wait a moment."

Gao Qiu walked a short distance away to make a phone call.

After talking for a while, Gao Qiu came back and said, "He agreed to meet. Please follow me; I’ll take you to him."

"Thank you."

Long Chen smiled.

...

Following Gao Qiu’s lead, Long Chen and Xia Ling entered a club.

The club was quite large, and Gao Qiu seemed to be a frequent visitor. As soon as he entered, the receptionist greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Long, this club also belongs to my uncle. He usually rests in the office on the top floor."

Gao Qiu smiled.

"Hm."

Long Chen nodded indifferently.

Gao Qiu observed Long Chen’s expression casually and noticed he showed no sign of surprise. He secretly thought Long Chen must be quite formidable, having such a calm demeanor.

Soon enough, Long Chen finally met the boss.

At that moment, the boss was wearing pajamas, lying on a large bed with two beauties massaging him.

"Uncle, I’ve brought the people."

Gao Qiu whispered.

"Hm."

The boss lazily raised his eyes to glance over.

In just one look, his gaze almost froze on Xia Ling, a flash of peculiar brilliance in his narrow eyes.

"Stop the massage for now."

The boss quickly sat up, looked at Long Chen, and pointed at Xia Ling asking, "Is she your secretary?"

"She is my woman," Long Chen said.

"Well, you’re quite fortunate; she’s exceptional."

The boss laughed heartily.

Long Chen frowned and almost couldn’t restrain himself from slapping the man.

But remembering he wanted to buy the basketball court, Long Chen managed to keep his composure and asked, "Boss, how should I address you?"

"My surname is Sun, call me Sun Tong," Sun Tong said. "Gao Qiu mentioned you want to buy my basketball court. What do you intend to use it for?"

"I have my uses. It’d be best if you could name your price directly," Long Chen said.

"That place isn’t small; I spent quite a lot on it when I bought it, and the revenue is still very good. It’s estimated to be requisitioned next year. I wouldn’t sell it for less than 33 million, so if you’re buying, you have to pay 35 million," Sun Tong said with a smile.

"When can we sign the contract?" Long Chen asked.

Sun Tong was startled and instantly regretted quoting too low.

He smacked his forehead and said, "Ah, look at me, I’ve become all muddled. I meant to say that I initially spent a lot of money buying the land, working through many connections, and all the expenses together cost over 30 million. Years have passed, and the value has definitely appreciated. If you’re really keen on buying, fifty million, just fifty million, and I’ll sell it to you at a loss."

"So, you’re raising the price on the spot?" Long Chen smiled slightly. "Don’t say fifty million; I have five hundred billion, but it all depends on whether you have the guts to take this money."

"What do you mean?" Sun Tong’s expression darkened. "Are you threatening me on my turf? I, Sun Tong, am not easily frightened. It’s fifty million, not a cent less. If you have the means, just take it forcefully, what do you think this is?"

"You seem to have quite the temper?" Xia Ling said calmly. "Be a little more humble. You’ve already quoted us 35 million; how can you just change it to 50 million?"

"It’s my land; I can change the price if I want to, take it or leave it. I’m not short on money anyway."

Sun Tong said disdainfully.

Xia Ling did not expect Sun Tong to be so arrogant. She then said, "Fifty million is it? Fine, I, Eastern Dragon Shadow Group, can afford it."

"Wait, ’Eastern Dragon Shadow Group’?"

Sun Tong was taken aback.
