Chapter 1049 — Feng Xiaoxiao's Real Purpose, the Four Got in the Car and Sun Jingyan Asked Directly, "Where To?"
"Hmm..." Wu Chengtian did not know Songshan City at all. Inviting Sun Jingyan to dinner had only been a sudden impulse, and he had not actually decided where to go. That left him in a bind for a moment, since he could hardly admit he had no idea. He could only laugh it off and say, "There really are no decent restaurants in Songshan City. It is worlds apart from Yanjing!"
"That's right. The best hotel in Songshan City is only the Starlight Splendor Grand Hotel, and that is a million miles from the grand restaurant in Yanjing that Brother Iron Hand took us to last time!" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded again and again. "For a high-class man like Brother Iron Hand, eating out means going to the very best place!"
"Haha, I am not that high-class. As long as Jingyan likes the food, anywhere counts as high-class!" Wu Chengtian was overjoyed at how cooperative Feng Xiaoxiao had been from the moment she got in the car. "But let's go to the Starlight Splendor then. It cannot compare to Yanjing, but out here in the countryside it is not bad! I entertain clients there all the time!"
Wu Chengtian had already opened a company in Songshan City, so if he still knew nothing about its hotels, that would have looked plainly fake. To keep Sun Jingyan from getting suspicious, he simply went along with Feng Xiaoxiao and picked the Starlight Splendor! And in his heart he was endlessly grateful to Feng Xiaoxiao! So cooperative!
"Brother Chengtian, what did you just say? Entertain clients? Did you open a company here?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked.
Hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, Wu Chengtian nearly knelt down and kowtowed to her. You are my own dear mother, you understand me so well! This level of backup for his showing off was simply world-class! He had been just about to steer the conversation toward the company he had opened!
"Haha, I opened a trading company. Here is my card!" As he spoke, Wu Chengtian took his card case from his pocket, drew out several cards, and handed one each to Feng Xiaoxiao, Wei Zhao, and Sun Jingyan.
Sun Jingyan was driving, so after taking the card she tossed it casually aside, and Wei Zhao glanced at his and stuffed it casually into his pocket. Only Feng Xiaoxiao picked up the card and stared with wide eyes in amazement. "Wow! Is this the legendary gold-plated business card? So cool! I heard only the bosses of the world's top companies use such classy cards! It is a symbol of a successful man's status!"
"It's nothing, just a card!" Wu Chengtian was hugely pleased with himself. "With such a big company, if I didn't get something to keep up appearances, it would not look right!"
"That's true!" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded. "Then Brother Chengtian, your company must be quite big. It must make a lot of money, right?"
"So-so, just pocket money!" Wu Chengtian nodded with unfathomable profundity. "A day's profit can only buy a few Audis, that's all!"
"Wow! That amazing! I saved up my pocket money for years to afford one Audi, and Brother Chengtian, you can buy several in one day?" Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes went wide, sparkling and glittering, full of little stars...
"This is only the start-up phase! It will make even more money in the future!" Wu Chengtian said smugly.
"Then should I call you Brother Chengtian or President Wu from now on?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked.
"Haha, either is fine, both work!" Wu Chengtian felt as if every pore in his body was tingling with pleasure! This Feng Xiaoxiao was simply tailor-made for his career of showing off!
"The Wu family is one of the noble houses. With the Wu family's resources and connections, making money by opening a company is easy. As long as you are not a fool or an idiot, you can make money at it!" Sun Jingyan said coldly.
"Huh?" Wu Chengtian froze, and his expression turned awkward at once!
What Sun Jingyan said was actually true. If the children of the noble houses went into business, they could hardly lose money. Their connections were everywhere, and as long as they found the right path, they would basically rake in a fortune. But Wu Chengtian had no heart for business at all. He had set up the company only to show off in front of Sun Jingyan, so it truly did not make a cent and even lost money!
By Sun Jingyan's logic, he was the fool and the idiot! But Wu Chengtian could hardly argue back, for arguing would only confirm that he was an idiot!
"That's right, but even then it matters how much you make! There aren't many who rake in money every day like Brother Chengtian does. That just proves Brother Chengtian is really amazing!" Feng Xiaoxiao said.
Hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, Wu Chengtian's brows lifted with joy! This Feng Xiaoxiao was exactly to his taste! Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. One sentence had wiped away his embarrassment! She had made him the standout among the noble-house heirs!
"Hehe, I'm just a little bit stronger than the average person!" Wu Chengtian said airily.
"Yeah, just look at how commanding Brother Chengtian was when he taught those punks who smashed the car a lesson!" Feng Xiaoxiao said worshipfully. "When Brother Chengtian said, 'Do I look like a man with no money to you?' That was so commanding!"
"Haha, of course! A bunch of punks think they can smash a car and just pay up and be done with it? Dream on! If I hadn't beaten them until they couldn't even recognize each other, I wouldn't be Wu Iron Hand!" Wu Chengtian burst out laughing. He had already accepted the nickname Wu Iron Hand, finding it very domineering!
"Right, that little money they paid means nothing at all in Brother Chengtian's eyes. It's just a day's profit, isn't it?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked.
"Of course! Five million is nothing to me!" Wu Chengtian nodded deeply in agreement. "Just a day's profit!"
"Exactly, that's what I thought. Brother Chengtian asked them for money not because he wanted it, but to teach them a hard lesson so they won't smash cars so lightly in the future!" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Right, otherwise that five million wouldn't even be enough to fill the cracks between my teeth!" Wu Chengtian said, putting on airs to the fullest.
"Oh, but while five million is pocket change to Brother Chengtian, to a poor nobody like me it's a fortune! Brother Chengtian, why don't you give me that money so I can buy a nice car? Anyway, you look down on that money!" Feng Xiaoxiao said very seriously.
"Huh?" Wu Chengtian's eyes bulged as he froze! He had never expected Feng Xiaoxiao to actually ask him for money!
Sun Jingyan was driving up front, and at Feng Xiaoxiao's words her hand shook and the car nearly swerved. She finally understood what Feng Xiaoxiao's earlier remarks had meant. It had all been a trap for Wu Chengtian! She had lifted Wu Chengtian to a great height, and now he could not climb down. If he refused to hand over the money, everything he had said before would be exposed as bragging!
Sun Jingyan finally understood why Wei Zhao had shown not the slightest concern over his girlfriend worshipping Wu Chengtian. It was not that Wei Zhao did not care, but that he had known all along what would happen! He knew Feng Xiaoxiao did not worship Wu Chengtian at all, but meant to fleece him!
