Despite still having difficulty to fathom it inside, Tang Xiu was dumbfounded by the woman’s terrific reason. The distant water couldn’t quench the present thirst? Wasn’t this a provoking and exciting justification? With sympathy and pity plastered on his face, Tang Xiu looked at Long Zhengyu and smilingly said, “Zhengyu, you know what? Your luck is actually very great.”
My luck is good?
Long Zhengyu stared blankly and looked confused.
Without a change in expression, Tang Xiu affirmed, “That’s right. I said you’re very lucky, and do you know why? Because that woman is obviously a seasoned shenanigan in ‘something’. Reasonably speaking, today’s transportation is very convenient as it takes only a day to travel by plane, therefore it is easy to quench the craving for love since you only need to call and then come back. She seems to not think so, though. I think she wants to become a bride every night and you just can’t satisfy her! Well, I think it’s better for you two to separate now rather than get married and then smack yourself with her crowning your head with countless ‘glossy green hats’, no? Speaking of that, whatever the hat is, it will give you some warmth in this winter season no matter the color.”
“What the fuck…” Long Zhengyu couldn’t help but laugh by Tang Xiu’s words.
Tang Xiu took out a cigarette and lit it, and then spoke after blowing out a few puffs, “You know, you’re a seven feet real man and there are millions of beautiful women in the world. How can you give up the entire forest just to keep one tree? I remember a good old saying suitable for you. It says that the new won’t come if the old doesn’t go. Also, that little belle who just left is pretty good, too, you know.”
Shooting Tang Xiu a contemptuous look, Long Zhengyu groaned, “Don’t beautify it with words, alright? You seem like a towering colossus by your words, yet a short dwarf by your actions, that’s what I think. I heard that you and the First Beauty of Capital—Mu Wanying have disclosed your love relationship to the public, no? What are you gonna do with Ouyang Lulu, Kang Xia, and the other beautiful women I know of, huh?”
“…”
Tang Xiu was stumped for words. Long Zhengyu unexpectedly derailed the subject and turned his words back on him. He recalled what he just said and then thought about his own issues with women. He was immediately struck with a big headache.
Long Zhengyu suddenly burst into laughter after seeing Tang Xiu’s loss vacant expression and loudly said, “Look at you, man! I already told you that you have a tiger built but kitty balls, didn’t I?”
“Tell me, was it Bai Tao who ran his cheap mouth? Or was it Chu Yi who couldn’t keep it behind the wall? Hmph… tell me, who is it? I’m gonna stitch and sew them, whoever they are!”
BWAHAHA…
Long Zhengyu laughed more cheerfully. After a short while, he then said with a smile, “Anyways, I heard that a full-fledged chef in Manchurian and Chinese dishes has come to the Long’s Dining Hall. Rumor has it that his craftsmanship is very great! There have been quite a lot of people coming here attracted by him, yet he isn’t willing to render his services unless it is someone staying in the presidential suite. So be it then! Your treat… tonight…”
Treat your ass, you egoistic bastard! Tang Xiu cursed inside but still nodded resentfully.
While they hadn’t eaten yet, the duo gradually changed the subject to business, since Tang Xiu and Long Zhengyu had cooperated in many things such as the Walled Hill Village, where Tang Xiu had some interests, the cooperation in the New City project, as well as the reconstruction project of the Nine Dragons Island.
The schedule for the Walled Hill Village’s construction project was delayed for quite a long time due to the big accident at the construction site, and the progress hadn’t returned to the previous schedule even though the Long Family had added more manpower to the construction team. Coupled with the sudden snowing today, the first phase of the construction that was set a year ago was seemingly unable to be completed as planned.
“We originally estimated that the development of the Walled Hill Village would be completed before June next year. But I’m afraid that we can expect it to be delayed until July or August due to this bad weather. Nevertheless, you can receive your Heavenly Palace Residence once it is completed.”
Tang Xiu nodded. He indeed was very concerned about the construction of Heavenly Palace Residence in Walled Hill Village, but he was much more concerned about the reconstruction of the Nine Dragons Island. However, he didn’t want to look too anxious since the subject being discussed was the Walled Hill Village. He replied, “Well, it is rare for me to return to Star City as I’m currently studying in Shanghai, so I have to leave the responsibility to supervise the work there to you. I’m fine even if it is delayed by a couple of months.”
“Let’s talk about the New City then.” Long Zhengyu nodded with a smile. “The current development and construction of the New City has been in full swing, and those major construction companies we’ve hired are doing the best they can. The supervisory department is also keeping a close eye on the project, either the execution of the blueprint, the quality of the property, or the project’s progress speed. All of them have no issues to address. I myself am not managing this project anymore, but my father and several other family members are in charge of it, so you can rest assured about that.
“In June next year, the upscale villa complex surrounded by residential quarters, two shopping malls, and commercial street outlets in the A district of the New City will be officially opened for sale. The amount of funds that have been invested there, including each of ours and the loan from the bank is more than 100 billion yuan, all of which are invested in this A district project. Therefore, what we can do now is wait for the opening sale before we put it on the market.
“Kang Xia truly deserves her title as a business genius. We’ve decided to build the largest theme park in the country after her proposal. Though it may be a bit inferior to Disneyland Park, it would add a lot of elements to the project in terms of scale, construction, and entertainment. We can expect that when it is done, those attracted will not be solely limited to the real estate investors and home buyers from Star City, but we will also aim at the wealthy from every city in the country.”
Having said that, Long Zhengyu’s eyes lit up with excitement and anticipation.
