A big day of spending

“How can that be? I can’t let you work for nothing.”

Chen Dong had a good impression of Wang Cheng and the others; they were friends he could rely on. Chen Dong was always generous with his friends.

What’s more, more friends mean more opportunities, and many important pieces of information might still rely on them.

“How about this, since Brother Wang, you were planning to sell it anyway, you can earn a little less. I’ll give you 32 million, and I’ll drive the car away directly.”

Gu Lei swallowed hard beside him, knowing his boss was rich, but he didn’t expect him to be so extravagant, spending 32 million just to buy a car!

“Dongzi, no need to say anything else. If you ever need anything in the future, just come directly to me.”

Chen Dong tried to avoid taking advantage of his friends. Spending a bit more money himself to build connections was also good.

“Brother Wang, do you have any good Rolls-Royces here?”

“Yes, we have two Rolls-Royce Phantoms in stock, the 10-million-yuan model.”

Wang Cheng led Chen Dong a short distance in another direction. Very close by, two black Rolls-Royces were parked quietly, exuding an aura of nobility and wealth.

“Alright, I’ll take one of these cars too.” This car was truly good.

Wang Cheng didn’t stand on ceremony and sent the car dealership’s account to Chen Dong. Chen Dong then directly called his exclusive customer service representative, Liu Yueting, asking her to help with the transfer.

Gu Lei and the car dealership staff were busy with the paperwork. Wang Cheng led Chen Dong to his small reception room on the second floor.

Guo Xiaomei brewed a cup of tea for each of them, then sat obediently beside Wang Cheng.

This was a clever and intelligent woman. Although Chen Dong was clearly richer and more handsome than Wang Cheng, Guo Xiaomei’s gaze mostly stayed on Wang Cheng, filled with tenderness when she looked at him.

“Dongzi, didn’t you say yesterday that you had a girlfriend? Was it the one you met at the bar last time, or the one you met at Jinghai University?”

Wang Cheng started gossiping. Hearing such things, even Guo Xiaomei’s beautiful eyes widened by a third. Indeed, everyone loves gossip.

“The one I met at the entrance of Jinghai University. She’s still in military training. Isn’t today Friday? I’ll pick her up this afternoon.”

“Dongzi has good taste. That girl is indeed very beautiful.”

“Isn’t Sister Xiaomei beautiful?”

“Cough, cough, of course, she’s beautiful.” Wang Cheng chuckled awkwardly.

“Men are all like this; other people’s wives are always more beautiful,” Guo Xiaomei smiled brightly, completely unconcerned.

Just after eleven o’clock, Chen Dong politely declined Wang Cheng’s invitation for lunch and roared away in the Bugatti Veyron with temporary license plates.

He left the official license plates to Wang Cheng. Since he bought 42 million yuan worth of cars from him, it wasn’t too much to ask for his help with the license plates.

Chen Dong drove the incredibly handsome Bugatti Veyron, its engine roaring like a beast unwilling to be confined.

The strong push-back sensation made Chen Dong’s adrenaline surge. However, in the city, even with All-Round Driving King, Chen Dong didn’t dare to drive too fast. If he accidentally hit someone, it would be no laughing matter.

Gu Lei drove the Rolls-Royce closely behind Chen Dong’s car. The phantom left by the two luxury cars attracted countless gazes.

At a crossroads, Chen Dong was waiting for a red light. The car window beside him rolled down, and a beautiful woman with heavy makeup and a fair complexion poked her head out of the window, extending her fair arm to tap on Chen Dong’s car window.

“Is there anything I can help you with, beautiful?” Chen Dong rolled down his window, looking at the woman, whose face was covered in cheap makeup, with a look of surprise.

“Handsome, is it convenient to exchange contact information? We could hang out sometime,” the woman winked at Chen Dong.

“It’s not convenient. I don’t like women,” Chen Dong scoffed with a smile.

“Also, a reminder, beautiful: pay attention to traffic rules. Your behavior is very dangerous.”

Just as the red light turned green, Chen Dong rolled up his window, stepped on the accelerator, leaving the woman with a back view emitting exhaust fumes...

When Chen Dong arrived at Bai Shaolong’s office, Xu Wanying had already meticulously reviewed the contract with the legal team. Chen Dong simply glanced at it and signed his name.

He continued to call Liu Yueting for transfers, spending 2.042 billion yuan in one morning—truly unparalleled. With only 18.5 billion yuan left in his card, Chen Dong decided to spend less money in the coming days.

“Dongzi, it’s almost lunchtime. Let’s eat together.”

“No problem. Then I’ll shamelessly freeload a meal from you.”

Chen Dong called Xu Wanying, and they had a simple Chinese meal with Bai Shaolong.

“Sister Wanying, I will complete the project development drawings for this project when I go back today and send them to your email. Then I’ll trouble you to arrange for people to help supervise it on-site.

It’s early September now. I hope to complete the main construction in about 20 days and start operations by National Day.

You can call in more construction teams. The construction teams from Nanjiao, Beijiao, Jingjiao, and Hu Wei can all be called in to work on multiple fronts simultaneously.

In addition, for the planned food street and shopping area, we will recruit our own staff and not introduce external merchants. We will not rent out any spaces. For this part, we need to quickly find a manager with experience in managing such attractions through a headhunting company...”

The timeline Chen Dong gave was very tight. Of course, the investment would also be a bit larger than expected. He directly transferred 500 million yuan from his bank card to Dongsheng Investment. This would be another project invested in by the investment company.

Watching the majestic Bugatti Veyron disappear from sight, Xu Wanying felt a little empty inside. She really wanted to sit in that supercar and be the first woman in the passenger seat.

Unfortunately, Chen Dong had no such intention, not even bothering with a polite gesture.

Chen Dong returned to the villa and started designing with the blueprints. After all, he had the System-rewarded Architectural Master.

He designed the entire area into several sections: a water park, an amusement park, a beach park, a food street, a shopping plaza...

The water park is suitable for summer, but by the time it’s built, it will be National Day, so it won’t attract tourists. It can be temporarily set aside, and other projects can be prioritized.

The land has a lot of accumulated sand underneath, making it unsuitable for large-scale construction of tall buildings, but it doesn’t mean that facilities like Ferris wheels, which are for entertainment, cannot be built. It just means driving the steel bars deeper.

After two hours, Chen Dong finally finished drawing the design blueprints for the beach project, including some construction and operational considerations, and sent them to Xu Wanying.

He rubbed his brows; continuous work was quite mentally exhausting.

Director Xu’s call came in.

“Boss, the advertisement with Qi Luo Chang has been filmed. I’ve sent a copy to your email. See if there are any areas that need improvement?”

“Alright, I’ll take a look first and call you back when I’m done.”

Chen Dong hung up the phone and downloaded the video from his email.

The audience for Hanfu would not be particularly wide, as it cannot be worn for daily office work and can only be used for photoshoots or custom orders for some film and television crews.

However, Chen Dong, having experienced that period, knew that Hanfu was very popular in many tourist attractions, and there was a strong market for both sales and rentals.

After all, this is the traditional culture of Dragon Country. With a population of 1.2 billion in Dragon Country, even if one percent of people like it, that is an incredibly vast market.
