Chapter 52 The Rich Second Generation

Zhang Peng was the most direct, grinning:

"Add me on WeChat. Just call me if you need help next time!"

The three girls looked at the green and sincere juniors before them,

the smiles in their eyes deepening without any awkwardness,

and generously took out their phones to scan the code.

After a few rounds of drinks,

Zhang Peng had drunk a bottle of beer, a flush appearing on his face,

his chatterbox was completely open, and his tongue was a bit tied:

"Brother Chen... you're really amazing!"

"Your family gave you five hundred thousand to trade stocks directly, and in just three days!"

"You earned one hundred and sixty or seventy thousand!"

"Your parents are too open-minded, aren't they? Daring to give you so much money to mess around with!"

As soon as these words came out, the noise at the table instantly halved.

Chen Qian's hand holding the drink cup paused,

she looked up at Lin Chen, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes.

She agreed to come out for a late-night snack tonight because she wanted to investigate Lin Chen, who was not only unfazed by her close proximity.

But also dared to go all-in with his entire position on his first stock trade, even hitting three limit-up boards in a row,

this vision and boldness were not something an ordinary person could have.

Yet, he just wore slightly high-end sports brands, and she heard he was from the countryside.

This contrast was truly curious.

Lin Chen just smiled and didn't respond,

picking up a skewer of grilled kidneys and slowly nibbling on it, his expression indifferent,

as if what Zhang Peng said wasn't hundreds of thousands, but dozens of yuan.

Li Lei next to him was also slightly tipsy,

hearing this, he curled his lips, and his Mandarin with a Cantonese accent drifted out:

"Hmph, that's nothing."

"My parents are the stingy ones, only giving me a hundred thousand in initial capital, saying it's for me to practice."

When Wu Gang heard this, his eyes widened:

"A hundred thousand is still little?"

"Leizi, what does your family do?"

"We've lived together for over half a month and still don't know everyone's background."

Li Lei took a gulp of beer and burped,

waving his hand nonchalantly:

"Nothing much, just... carrying a bag of keys to collect rent every day."

"Pfft..."

The mouthful of beer Zhang Peng had just drunk sprayed right out,

and he hurriedly wiped his mouth:

"Damn!"

"A landlord!"

"After all this time, you kid are actually a Second-generation rich?!"

He leaned over, looking full of gossip:

"Quick, tell me, how many apartments?"

"In which area?"

Li Lei scratched his head, counting on his fingers, looking confused:

"In Liede Village, Tianhe District, Guangzhou."

"I don't know exactly how many,"

"I heard my mom say there seem to be two buildings..."

"About forty or fifty apartments."

"Gulp!"

This time, not just Zhang Peng, but everyone at the table gasped.

Their jaws almost hit the ground in shock.

Liede Village!

That was a famous wealthy area!

An apartment there easily costs several million,

two buildings... how much money would that be?

Even if they were just apartments, the family assets would be over a hundred million!

Looking at Li Lei again, wearing washed-out sneakers and a T-shirt with a small hole,

speaking and acting in a simple and honest way, without any air of a Second-generation rich,

who would have thought this was a hidden 'Second-generation building owner'!

Li Lei felt a bit embarrassed by everyone's gaze,

quickly changing the subject and pointing at Zhang Peng:

"Don't just talk about me, what about you?"

"You haven't said what your family does yet!"

Zhang Peng cleared his throat and straightened his back:

"Both my parents work at a bank, and my grandfather is also retired from a bank."

Wu Gang immediately became interested and joked playfully:

"Oh?"

"Then don't tell me your grandfather was once a president, your dad is the head office president, and your mom is a branch president?"

As soon as these words came out, the girl next to Zhang Peng burst into laughter,

her eyes curving:

"I recently saw a joke online!"

"A kindergarten teacher asked a child what they wanted to be when they grew up, and a child said they wanted to be a bank president."

"The teacher asked why, and he said his dad, mom, and grandpa were all presidents, so he wanted to be one too!"

Zhang Peng's face instantly turned red, his ears burning, and his eyes were a bit evasive.

Seeing him like this, Wu Gang

thought he had touched a sore spot and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Haha, just kidding!"

"It's okay if they aren't presidents. Ordinary bank employees are also good, with great benefits!"

"No wonder you chose the Finance Department; it turns out it's a family tradition!"

Zhang Peng rubbed his nose, his voice as thin as a mosquito:

"You... you must be the roundworm in my stomach..."

"My grandfather did retire as a president, my dad... really is the head office president of our city's Bank of China, and my mom is a branch president..."

"Boom!"

These words were like a thunderclap exploding on the table!

Everyone was stunned, looking at Zhang Peng in unison, their eyes full of disbelief.

The girl next to Zhang Peng, her eyes instantly lit up.

Her gaze toward him became a bit gentler as she proactively poured him a drink:

"Junior, you're way too low-key!"

Chen Qian couldn't help but look at Lin Chen again, her curiosity growing even more.

These two were both so impressive, so what about Lin Chen, who had been quiet all along?

What was his trump card?

At this time, Zhang Peng also came to his senses and looked at Wu Gang, who hadn't spoken,

joining in the fun:

"Gangzi! Now only you're left!"

"Quick, tell us, what does your family do?"

"Don't tell me you're also a hidden big shot!"

Wu Gang chuckled and raised his glass:

"Come, come, come, let's toast first!"

After the few of them toasted, Wu Gang slowly spoke:

"My family is from right here in Star City. My dad... doesn't have much ability either; he just invested a little bit of money and became a small shareholder in a real estate company."

Zhang Peng curled his lip:

"Tsk, a small shareholder, that's about the same as us then."

"But real estate is so hot right now, your family probably made quite a bit, right?"

Wu Gang didn't answer, which was taken as a silent agreement.

Chen Qian held her drink cup, her heart surging with waves.

She finally understood that in this dormitory of Lin Chen's,

what kind of extraordinary figures were living there!

One was a 'Second-generation building owner' from Liede Village,

another was a young master from a banking family!

And one was a Second-generation rich in the real estate business.

This wasn't an ordinary dormitory; it was practically a gathering ground for the Second-generation rich!

Wu Gang ate a skewer and suddenly remembered something,

lowering his voice and saying mysteriously:

"Speaking of which, something strange happened in our family's real estate sales circle recently!"

These words instantly piqued everyone's curiosity; they all stopped their chopsticks and looked at him in unison.

Wu Gang: "Wasn't it the assignment Teacher Liu gave us to open accounts and trade stocks?"

"Today I called home, nagging for some money to open an account!"

"As a result, my dad told me that a few days ago, a mysterious young customer bought a house in full without even looking at it,"

Wu Gang: "Guess where it is and for how much."

No one spoke, waiting for him to continue.

"In Dingjiangyang of the Beichen Delta, a Luxury flat worth eleven million!"

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.

He didn't expect this matter to spread so close to him.

Wu Gang continued: "My dad was shocked when he heard about it, saying young people these days are really rich!"

"That customer made the salesperson a private butler, giving them full authority over the renovation of that house!"

He paused, deliberately keeping them in suspense:

"Guess what that tycoon's renovation budget was?"

"Two million?"

Zhang Peng asked tentatively.

"Five million?"

Li Lei guessed.

Wu Gang shook his head and held up a finger, his tone exaggerated:

"Ten million! A full ten million!"

"Spent ten million to buy the house, and directly smashed ten million into the renovation!"

"This kind of style, my dad said even he admires it!"

Everyone gasped once again.

Just then, Wu Gang seemed to remember something and added:

"Oh, right, that young man who bought the house has the same name as Brother Chen, also called Lin Chen!"

"Whoosh!"

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Lin Chen.

The air seemed to freeze.
