I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Someone slammed a dunk on me with money



"Mr. Zhang, here's your receipt." After the payment was completed, Saige finally relaxed a bit. It seemed that he could now guess why his boss valued this gentleman so highly.

In capitalist countries, money is everything. This gentleman doesn't treat money like money at all; he doesn't want freebies, he doesn't want discounts, and he tips twenty million just like that. Does his family own a mint?

"Perfect!" Spending over two billion in a day made Zhang Menglong feel as though he had achieved a small goal.

"Boss Su, add me on WeChat later. I'll send you the location of my house. Drag all these cars to my underground garage. I'll arrange someone to coordinate with you."

"You're the boss, you call the shots!" The mental shock Su Yu received today was beyond description with words. They're now realizing that in front of Zhang Menglong, they, the so-called super-rich second-generation and distinguished gentlemen, were nothing but insignificant.

"Hahaha, thanks a lot." This small episode quickly warmed up the relationship between the four, and the initial awkwardness dissipated.

Although each of them was a second-generation rich kid, when surrounded by people of similar or even greater wealth and status, none of them put on airs and they quickly started to chat with one another.

Having left the club matters to Manager Zhen from earlier, the group went straight to Su Yu's car and drove off towards the nearest five-star hotel.

"Let me tell you, I'm paying for the meal later. No one is to fight over the bill with me!" Wang Ling, who always liked to show face, had all his thunder stolen by Zhang Menglong today. He was determined to regain all his face in this meal.

"Alright, alright, no one's going to fight with you, Principal Wang!" Zhang Menglong estimated that even if he ordered all the best dishes in the hotel, he could spend at most one or two million. Compared to his 100 billion expenditure challenge, it was merely a drop in the ocean. Even if he ate like this for three meals a day, it would take a hundred years to spend it all. So, there was no need to vie for this bill.

Although Wang Ling wasn't a regular at this hotel, as a seasoned internet celebrity, his face was his best advertisement. As soon as he got out of the car, phones started snapping photos around him. Thankfully, Zhang Menglong, being cautious of viruses, wore a mask every day. Otherwise, he would have been identified online today.

They found a quiet and elegant private room and sat down with the four of them and a few internet celebrities.

"Never would've thought Principal Wang still likes internet celebrities as always," Zhang Menglong joked.

"Hahaha, want me to introduce a few to you? Seeing you coming out alone to buy cars, it's obvious you must be a lonely single man!" Wang Ling didn't shy away from it. He indeed liked internet celebrities. Although their faces were all alike, he could still find interesting souls among them.

"What lonely single man? Only the broke are called that. Menglong here should be called a 'single aristocrat'!"

"Hahaha, that's such an outdated term. I'm still surfing the net!"

"Stop it, you guys. It's so awkward I almost scraped together a three-bedroom flat with my toenails!"

"By the way, we still don't know where you're from!" Wang Ling asked.

"Oh, my family is originally from Dongji City. I study in Jiangnan City," Zhang Menglong replied.

"What? Haven't you graduated yet?"

"Not yet!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "I'm a senior this year, graduation is still over half a year away."

"Weird, with your family background, you're actually studying in the country. That's truly a breath of fresh air." Qin Feng and the others were sent abroad by their families early on. Their academic ability may not have been strong, but the degrees they got were from world top 100 schools.

"If I may ask, Mr. Zhang, what kind of business does your family do? Perhaps our elders know each other!" Su Yu asked curiously.

Wang Ling and Qin Fengye instantly perked up their ears. This was also their most pressing question; they guessed that Zhang Menglong's family business must be frighteningly huge.

"This... to tell the truth, I'm not very clear myself," Zhang Menglong scratched his head, "You might not believe it, but I only found out a few days ago how wealthy my family is."

"What?" The three of them and the group of internet celebrities all had their mouths wide open in astonishment.

"After getting battered by society while sending out resumes, my dad told me to come home and take over the family business, and then I became what I am now."

"Holy shit, you're the real deal, a genuine 'rich second generation'!"

"I'm blown away. I bow down to no one but you!"

"Epic!"

"As for our family business, all I know is that we drill for oil in Africa, dig for diamonds, work on real estate... oh right, the majority of Koenigsegg's shares are owned by my family."

"Mother of god…"

"Your family really owns a mine, huh!"

"No wonder even the chairman was startled by this matter, turns out your family is the biggest shareholder of Koenigsegg!"

"Big boss, big boss, untouchable!"

"Why do I feel like you came here to buy a car just to show off your wealth?" Su Yu said, "If you want a car, couldn't you just have your own family make one for you? Why go through the hassle of buying one?"

"This... I didn't want to, honestly, but my dad said that I've only inherited the family's wealth for now, and if I want to inherit the heirloom, I must first pass a test."

"Wait a minute, this test... it isn't about spending money, is it?" Qin Feng's eyes widened.

"In one year, I have to spend a hundred billion."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Ambulance! Ambulance!"

"Quick, pinch the philtrum! Pinch the philtrum!" The three super-rich second generations couldn't help but act it up.

This wasn't a test at all; it was clearly a reward! Now they understood why Zhang Menglong had just now declined any freebies or discounts, splurging over twenty billion on cars—it was all to complete this family challenge?

"Who would've thought that our little Jiangnan City was actually such a hidden dragon and crouching tiger!"

"Oh right, have you guys heard about this? Yesterday, the Jiangnan Bridge Expressway was jammed for hours because some mysterious tycoon called in a helicopter, which lifted away the car and its owner!"

"Oh yes, I heard about that too. It was supposedly a Mi-26 helicopter. I remember there are only two of those in Huaxia, right?"

"I had my dad check on it, and those two helicopters were still at the original airport, never deployed. This must have been a private helicopter!" Wang Ling was exceptionally well-informed, of course, because he was very interested in the owner of that Maybach.

"I might have seen that helicopter!" Qin Feng said, "A few years ago, I went with my dad to Europe for fun. We just happened to catch an auction where an Mi-26 was on sale. It was eventually sold to a Huaxia buyer for nearly 20 million US dollars. Wonder if it's the same one."

"Menglong, do you know about this?"

"Who knows what the background of that person is, I definitely have to meet them, too awesome!"

"Er... what if I said that person was me, would you believe me?" Zhang Menglong spoke haltingly.

"What? You're saying that person was you?" Everyone's gaze once again converged on Zhang Menglong.

"Do you know, that incident hit the top of the trending search list? It was still blowing up the next day!"

"I can't be blamed for that. It was an emergency, and I had no other options. I didn't want to cause such a big scene!" Zhang Menglong said with an innocent shrug.

"What in the world was so urgent?" the three of them asked curiously.

"This..."

"It's okay, we're all friends here, and even if it's business-related, it's not like there's anything we can't talk about, right?" Seeing Zhang Menglong's expression, their curiosity intensified.

"I... I urgently needed to pee, and I'd been holding it for hours, I really couldn't hold it any longer, so..."

"Because you needed to pee?"

"Just that?"

"You, my friend, are a true talent!"

Hearing this ridiculously strong reason, everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"I can't not post this on Weibo!" Wang Ling took out his phone, opened Weibo, and snapped a photo of the feast in front of them, then added a line of text.

"Met the tycoon today who got past the expressway in a helicopter yesterday. You may not believe it, but I, Wang Ling, have lived for more than two decades, and today was the first time someone slam dunked money over my head!"
