Chapter 48

(PS: Brothers, with your support, the book has finally settled on the homepage's new book chart. In the afternoon, I even received an A-sign contract message from the backend. Two happy things at once. Thank you all again for your support. Here's the third update.)

Qi Pengfei looked at the finally calmed crowd, then saw his younger brother Qi Longfei wiping the sweat from his forehead beside him, and slapped him on the back of the head.

Looking at the puzzled Qi Longfei, he said irritably, "What are you standing there for? Go set off the fireworks!"

"Oh? Oh! Oh! But it's not allowed in the city..." Qi Longfei was about to run out, but then remembered the policy and turned to ask his brother doubtfully.

"Idiot! At most, you'll just get fined. That money isn't even enough to buy the fireworks. Stop talking nonsense and go!" Qi Pengfei scolded his brother, frustrated by his lack of initiative.

"Oh, oh, I'll go right away." The younger brother then hurriedly ran out...

The fat man grabbed Jing Tian again, looking at him with watery eyes and saying, "Brother~ Oppa~ Oniisan~ Darling~..."

Jing Tian, feeling disgusted, shook off his hand and rubbed it on his clothes, saying irritably to the fat man, "Get lost, you queer. Stay away from me..."

"Brother~~, that's an ice-type, and it's egg white quality, worth a fortune~~ Brother, can you pick one for me too~"

"Get lost. Where am I supposed to find one? This was already a stroke of luck. Have you ever heard of someone winning the lottery jackpot twice in a row?"

Saying this, he ignored the fat man who was still nagging and went to watch the stone cutter carefully slicing the stone.

After about ten minutes, the sound of fireworks crackled outside. It was so loud and continuous that it lasted for more than ten minutes before stopping, and Jing Tian could even hear the sound of police sirens...

Ignoring the commotion outside, Jing Tian continued watching the stone cutter. After a while, the so-called ice-type egg white jadeite, about the size of a basketball, was finally fully revealed.

Holding the jadeite, Jing Tian looked at it for a while, admiring its beauty, and then handed it to the fat man who had been waiting impatiently.

Amidst the chorus of praise from the crowd, Manager Qi Pengfei and Jing Tian discussed, and the fat man, holding the jadeite, was accompanied by the manager, his brother, the onlookers, and the police officers who had just arrived from outside, and they all rushed out of the stone gambling shop to the jade store outside.

The original stone was placed on a high platform display cabinet prepared by the manager, and strong lights were shone from several directions. Under the dazzling light, it was exhibited to the crowd that had gathered to see the commotion after hearing the fireworks.

Jing Tian, who disliked trouble, hid to one side, watching the fat man, surrounded by several police officers, protect the original stone and talk confidently to a few reporters who had appeared out of nowhere. He couldn't help but smile, lost in thought...

Manager Qi Longfei, his younger brother, stayed by Jing Tian's side, watching the fat man and the manager talk animatedly to the reporters. The store was bustling for nearly three hours before the crowd slowly dispersed.

Jing Tian accepted the 120 million yuan check from the manager, declined the dinner invitation from the manager and his brother and father, and left the jade store with the fat man driving, heading to the bank to deposit the money.

After about half an hour, the two left the bank, accompanied by the bank manager and a group of employees, and planned to return to the hotel to rest.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jing Tian used his mental awareness to scan the few cars following them, some close and some far, and the group of people inside with ill intentions. With a thought, the cars following them suddenly swerved and crashed into trees or guardrails on the side of the road where there were no pedestrians...

Jing Tian's lips curled slightly as he dealt with the minor trouble, and he no longer paid attention to those insignificant people.

The two returned to the hotel, packed their luggage, settled the bill, and drove straight to the Pudong area, where they found a luxury hotel and stayed in a presidential suite like a tycoon...

Inside the room, the two sat at a table by the window, enjoying the sea view while eating an extravagant Western meal. Since there were no outsiders, they didn't care about their appearance, abandoning the knives and forks and using chopsticks and their hands to eat the dishes, each of which cost at least a few hundred yuan...

Listening to the fat man, who was still excited, talk about the thrilling experiences of the day, Jing Tian had to interrupt him and said, "Take me to buy a house here tomorrow."

Hearing this, the fat man was stunned, stopped his excited talk, and asked doubtfully, "What about your house back home? Are you going to stay here and not go back?"

Jing Tian thought for a moment and said, "You can help me handle it. Find a moving company to move the useful things here, and I'll stay here. After all, my hometown is a small city with no prospects."

The fat man's face turned troubled, and he said dejectedly, "It won't be fun for me to stay there alone. In recent years, you've been my only friend. I've just been getting by with others. Who will I talk to and have fun with if you leave..."

Jing Tian laughed and said, "Why don't you quit your job? You made 24 million yuan today, and your family isn't there. Consider it the end of your exile."

The fat man, hearing this, nodded and slapped his forehead, saying dejectedly, "I haven't even realized it yet. The 24 million yuan has already made up for the 9 million yuan I lost. I don't need to continue my exile..."

He then said troubledly, "But I can't come to find you if I leave there. My father will definitely force me to manage the company when I go home. If it were an entertainment company, I would accept it, but it's a software development company. What can I do with computers? I only know how to download porn, and when there's a problem, I can only restart it. What should I do? Just thinking about the future makes me feel uncomfortable..."

Jing Tian, who had never heard the fat man mention his family's company before, thought about it and said, "Since you have the money now, tell your family that you want to go out and make your own way. Say that even if you fail, you have a backup plan, and you can always take over the company in the future."

The fat man thought for a moment and sighed helplessly, "The key is I don't know what to do if I go out..."

"True..." Jing Tian also couldn't think of what to do.

"Never mind, let's go house hunting tomorrow and see what we can find. If all else fails, the interest from your money in the bank will be enough for you to live on..."

The fat man rolled his eyes, "That's enough for you to live on, but with my 24 million yuan, the annual interest is less than 80,000 yuan. What can you do in this city? It's just enough to eat and stay warm. Your 200 million yuan will earn about 700,000 yuan in interest annually, which is a bit more comfortable, but you haven't even considered inflation and rising prices. Besides, who keeps their money in the bank these days? They all invest in companies or start their own businesses..."

Hearing the fat man's words, Jing Tian was stunned and said, "You know a lot, fat man. I was just a nobody before. Where would I know these things..."

The fat man didn't continue to普及 knowledge but instead asked Jing Tian, "Where do you plan to buy a house? What type of house do you want?"

Jing Tian said casually, "Of course, it should be by the sea. I want a villa, quiet, with my own space. As the saying goes: 'Facing the sea, spring warms and flowers bloom.'"

The fat man almost spat out the red wine he had just drunk, looking at Jing Tian with a country bumpkin expression and said, "If you think that way, you'd better be prepared to spend all your money. The most expensive villas there can cost up to 1 billion yuan. Think about what kind of house you can buy..."

Jing Tian was also taken aback. He had only thought that the house prices here might be high, but he hadn't expected them to be this high. He said helplessly, "Let's go and take a look tomorrow..."
