61: Is this fact more outrageous than the rumor?

As the setting sun hung high in the sky, Chen Qiu finished the first ride of his life.

As for the experience...

Aside from his heart and lungs feeling like they were exploding.

What remained freshest in his memory was the silver-tongued Zhang Mantong!

If the return journey hadn't been mostly downhill, Chen Qiu felt he really might not have been able to pedal the bike anymore!

At the intersection by the Cultural Industry Group, Chen Qiu and Zhang Mantong parted ways.

"Goodbye, President Daddy!"

A trace of regret flashed across Zhang Mantong's foxy, pretty face.

She had intended to finish it all in one go today.

But unfortunately, others had come along.

She had no choice but to wrap things up in a rush.

"Next time, I have to go to the suburbs; there are fewer people there."

Zhang Mantong thought to herself as she turned to leave.

As for getting a hotel room?

That would defeat the purpose of cycling!

Zhang Mantong knew exactly what she wanted; she had even gone all out!

She wanted Chen Qiu to think of her whenever he went cycling, or even just saw a bicycle!

Chen Qiu was young, wealthy, and handsome! He was simply the ideal type for countless women!

The competition in the future would definitely be quite intense!

Only in this way could she stand out among the fierce competition!

Chen Qiu returned to the company.

He left the bicycle downstairs and returned to his president's office.

"President Chen!"

Upon seeing Chen Qiu, Song Xiangtong and An Wan immediately stood up to greet him.

"Where are Liu Qi and Xu Yi?"

"Secretary Liu has taken Secretary Xu out to recruit people..."

Song Xiangtong answered softly.

It was a bit strange; this was the first time she had seen a company recruiting so heavily at the end of the year.

And they were even going door-to-door with a list.

Song Xiangtong remembered Liu Qi mentioning that the list had been provided by President Chen himself.

With such actions, it was no wonder those rumors were circulating in the company.

Chen Qiu nodded; for the sake of the year-end bonus, Liu Qi was certainly working hard!

"By the way, go ask if there are any larger vehicles in the company, preferably a van that can fit a bicycle!"

"Okay!"

After giving the instructions, Chen Qiu walked into his private president's office.

This was when the benefits of the president's office became apparent.

Besides the large office and reception area, there was also a small cubicle!

The cubicle was less than twenty square meters, but it had an independent bathroom and a 1.5-meter bed!

After Chen Qiu finished showering and changed into his own clothes, Song Xiangtong and An Wan were already waiting in the office.

"President Chen, all the company's transport vehicles are out. The only larger vehicle left is a commercial van!"

"Let's go take a look."

Immediately, the three of them went to the company parking lot.

As a group with state-owned enterprise backing and ten-digit investment, the Cultural Industry Group was quite extravagant.

They provided vice presidents like Tang Qin and Li Li with luxury cars at the level of the Audi A6L.

And Chen Qiu, the president, was equipped with two.

One administrative mercedes-benz S450, and one commercial toyota alphard!

The vehicle Song Xiangtong was referring to was naturally this toyota alphard!

With the space in this vehicle, it was more than enough to fit a bicycle.

Immediately, Chen Qiu loaded the bicycle on.

Actually, he had originally intended to ride the bicycle home.

But after being ambushed by that enchantress Zhang Mantong, riding it back seemed a bit difficult.

So he had no choice but to transport it back.

Anyway, this car was just gathering dust here!

"By the way, An Wan, do you have a driver's license?"

Chen Qiu asked casually.

"Yes, I do."

An Wan nodded.

Chen Qiu glanced at An Wan; her petite figure standing next to the toyota alphard made her look like a little kid.

"Forget it, Song Xiangtong, you drive!"

An Wan pouted upon hearing this, feeling she had been underestimated.

"President Chen, I'm a very good driver."

She lifted her head, speaking with some defiance.

"Is that so? Doesn't look like it."

An Wan immediately got anxious.

"I might not be able to drive this big car, but your Audi, I drive like a pro!"

When she first got her license after turning 18, she practiced using her dad's Audi!

The first day, she scraped the car, and her dad deducted six months of her living expenses!

For a girl who had just started her freshman year, that amount of money was an astronomical figure!

Since then, An Wan practiced her driving skills diligently and hadn't had a single scrape since.

Seeing that Chen Qiu still didn't believe her, An Wan followed him all the way and finally took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat.

"President Chen, rest assured, I'll be your driver today!"

"If there's even a tiny scratch, you can deduct half a year's salary directly!"

It was the first time Chen Qiu had seen someone fighting to be a driver.

Seeing her slightly childish, cute face filled with a serious expression, he simply nodded.

"Hmph, President Chen, watch this!"

An Wan busily adjusted the seat to a position that suited her before slowly starting the vehicle.

Song Xiangtong, seeing this, shook her head with a chuckle and followed in the toyota alphard.

Along the way, An Wan remained focused.

She had already boasted, so she couldn't slap her own face.

However, she clearly hadn't expected the destination Chen Qiu provided to be a village in the suburbs!

After driving onto the village road, she immediately became hyper-focused.

At this moment, after Song Xiangtong carefully drove the wide toyota alphard through a narrow stretch of village road, she finally understood why Chen Qiu hadn't let An Wan drive this vehicle.

"Does President Chen actually still live in the village?"

Looking at the brick houses occasionally visible on the roadside, Song Xiangtong was a bit surprised.

Young, yet able to serve as the president of the Cultural Industry Group!

With a deep background, yet still living in a village in the suburbs!

Song Xiangtong felt Chen Qiu was becoming increasingly mysterious!

At this time.

The young people in the village were already returning home.

Chen Xiang, from Chen Qiu's neighbor's house, had just returned.

He was two years younger than Chen Qiu, but he didn't get into an undergraduate program, and he went out into society without even attending college!

So even though he was two years younger than Chen Qiu, he had entered society several years earlier!

Previously, he had been drifting around without making much of a name for himself.

For the past two years, he had been doing some small business outside and was doing quite well.

This year, he returned with a new car, a mercedes-benz E-class!

This was known as the ceiling for ordinary people!

Although he had taken out a small loan of 300,000, it was still bought with his own money!

Chen Xiang had originally thought that with this car, he could at least show off properly in the village.

But although these neighbors were saying he had done well, they didn't look very surprised?

Chen Xiang was a bit puzzled.

mercedes-benz E-class!

This is a mercedes-benz E-class!

It cost 400,000 to 500,000!

Back when he didn't get into college and left to work, he relied entirely on this mercedes-benz hood ornament to hold up his hunched back!

"Chen Xiang, your car is pretty good, but compared to Chen Qiu's car, it's still a bit lacking."

"Chen Qiu bought a car?"

Chen Xiang asked curiously.

"Didn't you hear your mom say?"

"No, I've been busy with work, I haven't had the time."

Several Aunts' eyes lit up, as if they had seen a giant panda, and their desire to gossip instantly surged.

Immediately, amidst their animated gestures and intense descriptions, Chen Xiang managed to piece it together.

"Chen Qiu has made it big?"

"Others are gifting him cars and houses?"

"He bought another million-dollar luxury car himself?"

"A net worth of ten million?!"

After piecing it together, Chen Xiang was dumbfounded!

He and Chen Qiu had grown up together, and their relationship wasn't bad.

A month or two ago, they had chatted, and it seemed he had been laid off?

At the time, he even suggested that Chen Qiu work with him after the new year...

It hadn't even been two months, and you're telling me Chen Qiu has a net worth of ten million?

Even robbing a bank wouldn't be this fast, would it?!

Chen Xiang instinctively didn't believe it!

He knew these Aunts in the village.

Someone setting up a stall becomes a big boss, and passing a civil service exam is described as becoming a high official!

Rumors are often several times more outrageous than the facts!

"Don't believe it? Hey, look, that's Chen Qiu's car, he's back!"

Chen Xiang immediately looked up along the road.

Sure enough, he saw an elegant and dignified Audi slowly driving over.

"A8?"

Chen Xiang identified the model, but soon realized something.

"No."

"Six horizontal and twelve vertical bars!"

"This is a horch?!"

Chen Xiang's eyes widened instantly.

Audi Horch, it really was a million-dollar luxury car!

However, what was up with that toyota alphard behind it?

Two million-dollar luxury cars?!

This truth is even more outrageous than the rumors?

A moment later, he saw the horch and the alphard both slowly stop at Chen Qiu's front door.

"Chen Qiu bought another new car?"

"This car doesn't look cheap either!"

"That's a toyota alphard, it costs a million..."

Chen Xiang explained subconsciously.

"What a-what?"

These Aunts didn't get hung up on the name, but deeply remembered the price Chen Xiang mentioned.

Another million-dollar luxury car!

At this time, they saw Chen Qiu's mother, Luo Jinglan, come out, and the Aunts curiously gathered around.

Chen Xiang hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Immediately, he saw Chen Qiu getting out of the horch.

And a petite, cute girl.

"A minor?"

The thought flashed through his mind, but soon he noticed her astonishingly large breasts!

"A minor shouldn't have such good development..."

Baby face, big breasts... Is this Chen Qiu's girlfriend?

Chen Xiang was curious, and others were too.

Luo Jinglan's eyes lit up as well.

Her son finally brought a girl home?

Although she was a bit short... but with that scale, the child wouldn't have to worry about milk in the future.

And this look, she looked like she didn't have any ulterior motives!

The next moment, another girl got out of the toyota alphard behind.

A well-fitting suit accentuated her tall figure, and her delicate face carried a touch of mature charm!

Luo Jinglan's eyes lit up again.

This girl is also good, elegant temperament, and looks good too!

But... two?

Just as she was wondering, she heard how they addressed Chen Qiu.

"President Chen, should we unload the bicycle directly?"

"Yeah."

Immediately, everyone saw the two women push a bicycle out of the alphard.

Seeing this, Chen Xiang's mouth opened slightly.

A million-dollar toyota alphard, you use it to transport a bicycle?

Is this still Nankeng Village? Where have I been brought to?

"President Chen, then we'll be leaving first."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Immediately, An Wan, feeling a bit shy from being stared at, quickly hopped into the alphard.

Song Xiangtong nodded towards Luo Jinglan; she had just heard this woman call Chen Qiu son right away.

The mother of her direct superior, being more polite is always right!

Watching the two women get into the toyota alphard and leave, Luo Jinglan then stepped forward to ask.

"Son, who are these two girls?"

"Why didn't you ask them to stay for a meal?"

Luo Jinglan said regretfully.

She quite liked the tall one, she was elegant and polite!

"Mom, these are both my secretaries; they have to go back to their own homes to eat!"

Luo Jinglan pouted upon hearing this.

What about being a secretary?

The one close to the water gets the moon first!

Working together every day, and being young men and women, who knows if they might spark some love!

The other Aunts breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Secretaries are good!

Those two girls looked like people on TV, too much oppressive feeling.

If Chen Qiu had a girlfriend, wouldn't their daughters, or even nieces, have absolutely no chance?

They also wanted to be the ones close to the water to get the moon!

Chen Qiu's words also reached Chen Xiang's ears, and his eyes had already lost their light.

Secretary?

So beautiful?

And one big, one small, a loli plus a mature woman?

Chen Xiang had already imagined the scene of the loli holding milk tea on standby, and the mature woman peeling grapes and feeding them to Chen Qiu's mouth!

What kind of god-like life are you living, kid?

Is this the kind of life a young man who was laid off can live?

We agreed on being successors of the proletariat, how did you get corrupted?!

"Chen Qiu!"

He shouted, his tone even carrying some grief and indignation.

"Da Xiang?"

"When did you come back?"

Chen Qiu, upon hearing this, finally noticed Chen Xiang and looked at him with some surprise.

Chen Xiang felt even worse!

He had worked hard for more than half a year this year, thinking day and night about driving the mercedes-benz E-class home to show off!

As a result, he just became a nobody that no one cared about...

Chen Xiang took a deep breath, strode to Chen Qiu's side, and gently punched him on the shoulder.

"Good for you, hiding it from me and making a fortune quietly?!"

"Are we still good brothers?!"

"I didn't hide it, it's all good luck!"

"Good luck can lead to this kind of god-like life?"

"A crappy bicycle, and you have a mature secretary drive a million-dollar luxury car to transport it back?"

"Extravagant, too extravagant!"

Seeing Chen Xiang pick up the Trek Madone to weigh it, Chen Qiu gave a friendly reminder.

"This crappy bicycle is worth over 100,000!"

Chen Xiang's hand shook, almost dropping the bicycle, his face turning pale.

He hurriedly and carefully put it down, still saying with some disbelief.

"Over 100,000?"

"Yeah, 130,000..."

Chen Qiu nodded sincerely.

Chen Xiang's eyes widened, he looked back at his mercedes-benz E-class, and suddenly felt that his failure to show off was reasonable.

"No way!"

"Originally I was thinking of waiting for Chen Ming and the others to come back in a few days to take you guys out to enjoy yourselves, but now it seems I have to slaughter you, this big spender, first!"

"No problem, I'm just afraid you guys won't have the stamina!"

"Kidding, I've been resting and building up my energy for over three months!"

"That's very patient!"

After chatting for a few sentences and getting Chen Qiu's assurance, Chen Xiang left, feeling satisfied.

He decided to endure for a few more days!

Bullets must be fired at the right place!

After the surrounding Aunts exchanged a few pleasantries with Luo Jinglan, they also went back to their own homes.

But soon, a brand-new version of the rumors began to quietly circulate in the village again.
