Chapter 242 Rooftop Party
Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Ning Xiuyang with a puzzled expression.
Ning Xiuyang revealed a playful smile, keeping him in suspense without explicitly stating that he would give him a gift. This left Chen Lin wanting to say something but too embarrassed to say it, making him feel quite awkward.
However, soon after, staff members arrived with security personnel, who were carrying a transparent glass box.
"Sir, this is the watch you won at this auction."
Ning Xiuyang gestured with his lip towards Chen Lin, whose eyes were shining, and said, "Give it to him!"
Chen Lin's breathing became rapid.
"Really for me?"
Although he had expected it, he still couldn't help but get excited when he actually heard those words.
Ning Xiuyang smiled and said, "I don't know anything about watches. To me, these things are just for showing off. Since you genuinely like them, consider it a token of appreciation for your care over the years and for our friendship tonight!"
Friendship is priceless!
"Shall we go? Didn't you say there was a second half?"
Ning Xiuyang casually tossed the Vacheron Constantin watch, worth three million, to Chen Lin, raised an eyebrow, and smiled nonchalantly.
Chen Lin caught it in a flustered manner, as if he were holding a bomb that was about to explode, his heart pounding in his throat.
Friendship is priceless!
He nodded emphatically, carefully put the watch on his wrist, and caressed it as if it were the skin of a stunningly beautiful woman, playing with it back and forth with obvious affection, his mouth grinning from ear to ear.
What is brotherhood? This is brotherhood!
A watch worth three million, given away just like that!
"Alright, let's go! Second half! I'll arrange it tonight, Yangzi, you must have a great time!" Chen Lin immediately nodded with great joy, stood up, waved his hand, and led Ning Xiuyang, as well as the stunningly beautiful mother and daughter behind them, who were still in awe, away from the backstage.
As the group walked down the thickly carpeted corridor, Chen Lin was still buzzing with excitement.
But as he walked, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned around sharply, staring intently at Ning Xiuyang, who was enjoying the bliss of having two women on his left and right.
His expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
"No, Yoko... did I hear that right?"
Chen Lin's voice trembled slightly. He leaned closer, lowered his voice, and asked mysteriously, "You just told the staff backstage that you're staying at... Villa No. 9, Huasheng Junting?"
Ning Xiuyang glanced at him and nodded matter-of-factly, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Holy crap!
Chen Lin immediately swore and was completely dumbfounded.
He stared at Ning Xiuyang in shock, his gaze even more outrageous than when he saw him spend 20 million to buy a broken cup!
"W-what's wrong? Is this place strange?" Shen Youyou blinked her curious eyes and couldn't help but ask.
She just thought the name sounded high-class, but as an ordinary college student, she had no idea what it actually meant.
Shen Yourong, standing beside him, also looked bewildered. She gently tugged at Ning Xiuyang's sleeve, her beautiful eyes filled with a question.
"Strange? It's more than strange!"
Chen Lin was so excited that his face turned red. He glanced at the bewildered mother and daughter, and then at the calm Ning Xiuyang. He felt that his worldview was being crushed and rubbed into the ground again and again.
He lowered his voice, almost whispering to Ning Xiuyang, "Yangzi, my brother Yang! That's Huasheng Junting! The most exclusive upscale residential area in Zhonghai! To live there, you're not just rich and powerful, you're truly a powerful and influential person! Every homeowner there is someone whose every move shakes the entire Zhonghai!"
"Villa No. 9..." Chen Lin clicked his tongue, his eyes filled with awe. "I've heard that it's the best-located and largest villa in the entire Huasheng Junting complex. It's always been vacant, supposedly bought by a mysterious tycoon, and never open to the public. You...you're that mysterious tycoon?"
At this moment, Chen Lin felt that his brain was not working properly.
He always thought that Ning Xiuyang had suddenly won the lottery or had some incredible luck that made him suddenly rich.
But now it seems that's not the case at all!
Being able to live in Villa No. 9 of Huasheng Junting is beyond just being "rich"; it represents unimaginable power and status!
No wonder... no wonder he dared to go head-to-head with Sun Zhenfei!
No wonder even Qin Yuhao looks at him differently and takes the initiative to add him as a contact!
It turns out the clown was actually myself!
He was foolishly worried that he would offend the Sun family, but the Sun family didn't even take him seriously!
Seeing Chen Lin's utterly bewildered expression, Ning Xiuyang chuckled inwardly.
This is exactly the effect he wanted.
Sometimes, the demonstration of strength doesn't need to be spoken; the most impactful effect comes from the reactions of others.
"It's just a place to stay. Look at you, so naive." Ning Xiuyang patted Chen Lin on the shoulder, casually showing off.
Chen Lin's lips twitched, and he was speechless.
Damn, he's really putting on a show; it's so sophisticated and unconventional.
Meanwhile, Shen Youyou and Shen Yourong, listening to Chen Lin's shocking explanation, had their beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.
Shen Youyou's heart was pounding, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Ning Xiuyang was one of adoration that almost melted her heart.
My master... is he really that powerful?
A gathering place for the powerful and wealthy!
Even a stomp of the foot can make Zhonghai tremble!
My God, this is even more domineering than the domineering CEOs in novels!
Shen Yourong felt both proud and apprehensive. She was grateful to be able to keep up with such an extraordinary person, but also felt a sense of inferiority and unease because of the huge gap in status between them.
Am I really good enough for him?
With their own thoughts, the group quickly took a private elevator to the rooftop open-air party venue at the Walton Hotel.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, a wave of heat, a mixture of extravagance and hormones, rushed out.
The huge rooftop swimming pool shimmered, reflecting the dazzling night view of Zhonghai City.
Melodious jazz music flowed through the air, the champagne tower shimmered with golden light, and bikini-clad, curvaceous beauties, holding wine glasses, strolled among well-dressed young men, laughing and chatting.
In the pool, many "mermaids" were playing and splashing around, drawing whistles from the men on the shore.
Ning Xiuyang glanced around and noticed an interesting detail.
The beautiful women playing in the pool each wore an exquisite waterproof number tag around their slender waists.
"Number 36, come here and pour me a drink!" A slightly tipsy rich young man shouted, pointing at a girl in the pool.
The girl immediately swam over with a giggle, as if she had received a royal decree. She gracefully climbed ashore, picked up the champagne, and respectfully served the rich young man.
Ning Xiuyang understood.
Damn, these rich kids really know how to have fun. They've even labeled everything to make "ordering" easier.
This was no longer a simple party, but a vibrant and sensual scene of "selecting concubines for the imperial harem".
