Chapter 343: Chapter 333: Only Awaiting the East Wind

"What’s wrong with Dragon Shadow Group? Do you think Dragon Shadow Group can’t come up with fifty million?"

Long Chen remained calm.

"No, no, no," Sun Tong was so frightened his face turned pale. "Mr. Long, I’m really sorry, I had no idea you were from Dragon Shadow Group. How about this, we previously talked about thirty-five million, but now thirty million will do. Let’s round down, you... both of you think that’s okay?"

Sun Tong spoke cautiously, afraid of misspeaking.

Gao Qiu next to him, however, was getting a bit anxious and couldn’t help but whisper to Sun Tong, "Uncle, fifty million, ah, Dragon Shadow Group isn’t short on cash, they won’t miss the fifty million, don’t be a fool."

"Scram, you don’t know shit, get lost!"

Sun Tong, enraged, kicked Gao Qiu.

Holding his kicked thigh, Gao Qiu had a look of wanting to cry but finding no tears.

Long Chen glanced at Gao Qiu and spoke indifferently, "Do you think your uncle should receive fifty million? Or, do you think it’s correct for your uncle to jack up the price on the spot?"

"I..."

"Mr. Long, don’t listen to his nonsense; he knows nothing. Just thirty million. If Mr. Long thinks thirty million is not okay, you name the price."

Sun Tong hastily interrupted Gao Qiu, not letting him get a word in, fearing Gao Qiu would say something outrageous.

Long Chen smiled and said, "Then thirty million it is; draft the contract."

"Yes, yes," Sun Tong nodded repeatedly, and then he turned around, glared at Gao Qiu, and barked, "What are you dazed about? Go draft the contract, and don’t try any monkey business, or I’ll wreck you, understand?"

"Yes, Uncle, don’t worry."

Gao Qiu sighed and walked out of the room.

Sun Tong then said to Long Chen and Xia Ling, "Would you like me to send over a couple of technicians for you to enjoy?"

"No need," said Xia Ling, "we don’t like it."

"Well, alright then."

Sun Tong gave an awkward smile.

"Your clubhouse seems quite nice; I’ll come check it out when I have some time," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Hey, Mr. Long, you really have a unique eye. The next time you come, I promise to arrange..."

"All good, all good, I..."

"Long Chen," Xia Ling turned, giving Long Chen a smile, "which restaurant are we going to eat at later?"

As she spoke, Xia Ling tenderly took Long Chen’s hand and gave him a forceful, subtle pinch.

Immediately, Long Chen said, "You decide tonight. Oh, and Mr. Sun, I was just joking earlier. You see how beautiful my wife is, how could I let another woman massage me? Her touch is the most comforting."

"Haha, indeed, with such a beautiful wife, I was struck by her beauty the moment I saw her,"

Sun Tong said sincerely.

He wasn’t just flattering.

...

Before long, Gao Qiu came back with the contract.

After Long Chen and Sun Tong signed the contract, they went together to the relevant departments and processed many formalities.

After being busy for three hours, all procedures were complete, and the basketball court officially belonged to Long Chen.

After Sun Tong left, Gao Qiu was unwilling to leave with him.

Because he still wanted money.

"Mr. Long, about that thing you promised me, shouldn’t you be making good on it now?"

Gao Qiu looked at Long Chen.

Long Chen glanced at Gao Qiu and said indifferently, "Strictly speaking, I indeed should give you the million I promised. But your performance in the clubhouse was very disappointing.

You actually encouraged your uncle to hike the price on the spot, wanting me to pay fifty million. Does someone who behaves like you deserve a million in compensation?"

"Are you... are you planning to weasel out of it?"

Gao Qiu’s face changed color.

"If I were to weasel out, what would you do?"

Long Chen looked at Gao Qiu with interest.

Gao Qiu clenched his teeth and stuttered, but couldn’t utter a single word.

Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to entangle with him and asked Xia Ling beside him, "Do you have cash in your bag?"

"Let me see."

After rummaging through her bag, Xia Ling took out five hundred yuan and said, "Only this much."

"That’s enough." Long Chen took the money and stuffed it into Gao Qiu’s hand with a faint smile, "You’re not worth five hundred, but take the extra as a tip. Don’t ask why; just go home and think it over quietly. Oh, and I must remind you that, because of your dishonesty, you’ve lost nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand five hundred yuan today."

With that, Long Chen pulled Xia Ling away.

Behind them, Gao Qiu gripped the five hundred yuan tightly, regretting bitterly.

He never could have imagined that his moment of tactlessness would lead to such a downfall.

This lesson was, indeed, too profound.

Meanwhile, Long Chen and Xia Ling were having a meal at a Chinese restaurant, discussing how to construct the Great Xia Mansion as they ate.

Xia Ling gave Long Chen many useful suggestions, which he found very helpful.

After the meal, the basic model of the Great Xia Mansion had already formed in Long Chen’s mind.

Next, detailed blueprints and construction crews needed to be found.

When the blueprints were ready, Xia Ling looked at Long Chen and smiled, "Let me handle the following matters, and you don’t have to pay a cent. We at Dragon Shadow have plenty of money."

"How long do you think the completion will take?" Long Chen asked.

"How about a month?"

"Can a mansion be built in a month?" Long Chen was somewhat skeptical.

Xia Ling smiled and said, "These days, as long as the money is in place, perhaps it could even be built in half a month. Of course, to ensure quality and other issues, I’ve quoted a bit more time."

"Okay, then I’ll leave this to you. Everything is ready; all that’s missing is the east wind," Long Chen said with a smile.

"It’s clear that I am your east wind, but how do you plan to reward me?"

"I’ll reward you tonight."

"I want it now, what do we do?" Xia Ling bit her red lip.

"We’re not at home."

"There seems to be a small grove over there." Xia Ling pointed to a park not far away.

Indeed, the park had a small grove.

Long Chen looked at Xia Ling in astonishment, "Sister Xia Ling, you’re becoming bolder by the day."

"I want to experience some things with you that I’d never dared to even think about before, will you indulge me?"

Xia Ling acted coquettishly.

"Granted."

Long Chen took Xia Ling’s hand and headed toward the small grove.

About ten minutes later, the two entered the grove.

Xia Ling took out her phone and handed it to Long Chen.

Then, in a soft voice, she said, "Wait a moment, let me strike a pose."

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Of course, I need to do it quickly. When you take the picture, remember to capture my most beautiful moment."

Xia Ling smiled radiantly and leaned against a big tree, striking an adorable pose.

Seeing this, Long Chen was dumbfounded, "You came here to take photos?"

"What else? You didn’t think I wanted to do something else with you in the grove, did you?"

"Damn, you actually tricked me."

"Hmph, just to annoy you. If you’re not satisfied, why don’t you go to that club and have Sun Tong arrange something?" Xia Ling gave Long Chen a sidelong glance.

"At this moment, I feel that all the weak waters of the world are less than one of you."

Long Chen stepped forward and held Xia Ling in his embrace.

But just as Long Chen was about to make a further move, with his extremely keen hearing, he caught a suppressed panting sound.

"Something’s not right." Long Chen looked to the front left and quietly said, "There seems to be someone ahead."
