"Who are you?"
Wang Hongming asked Chu Chen with a strong sense of hostility.
"He's Shishi's brother's friend."
Chu Chen didn't say anything, a girl standing next to him answered instinctively.
"Brother's friend?"
Wang Hongming glanced at Chu Chen, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
"So, you're a poor college student. This will be easy."
Chu Chen already felt Wang Hongming's hostility. Looking at Han Shishi and the others, he instantly understood.
For a moment, Chu Chen felt a twinge of guilt.
"Ah, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault for being too handsome, attracting all the girls' attention."
If they hadn't seen him, it was uncertain whether Wang Hongming could win over Han Shishi and the others.
But now that they'd seen him, Chu Chen was sure Wang Hongming didn't stand a chance in this lifetime.
Too pitiful.
"Where are we going to play?"
Following Wang Hongming, a few other young men and women came over and asked.
On this trip, as a wealthy heir, Wang Hongming volunteered to take charge of the travel plans.
"We'll first go to Lingyun Peak, then to Fulong Temple. Tomorrow we'll go to..."
Wang Hongming went over the itinerary.
"Why isn't Liming Lake included?"
One of Han Shishi's two best friends asked.
Her name was Zhao Xuan. She was the one who exclaimed "so handsome" when she saw Chu Chen before.
"Yeah, Liming Lake is famous for its beauty in Tiannan Province."
Wang Hongming's friend also asked.
"I want to go too, but Liming Lake isn't a tourist spot anymore. A villa has been built around it, and now it's a private scenery for the villa community. Outsiders aren't allowed in."
Wang Hongming answered helplessly.
"Such a pity."
"Damn rich people!"
Everyone expressed their regret.
Hearing this, Chu Chen rubbed his nose, his expression changing slightly.
He seemed to be one of those damn rich people.
"Brother Ming, wait a minute. Besides Liming Lake, you also didn't include Shuitian Villa."
"I heard from Brother Yuan that Shuitian Villa is the most fun place in Jiangzhou."
One of Wang Hongming's friends added.
For these seventeen or eighteen-year-olds, fun places were much more attractive than natural scenery.
"I've heard about it too. Let's go to Shuitian Villa first."
Zhao Xuan suggested.
"Yeah, Brother Ming, let's go to Shuitian Villa first."
"Let's go to Shuitian Villa."
Several others chimed in.
Hearing this, Han Shishi's eyes sparkled, obviously interested.
"I heard Shuitian Villa tickets are hard to get and very expensive."
Han Shishi said hesitantly.
Wang Hongming instantly became spirited. The chance had come.
The opportunity finally arrived!
Now was his time to show off, to make Han Shishi admire him.
Just a few tickets?
With his family's connections, he couldn't get them?
"Leave this to me."
Wang Hongming patted his chest in assurance.
"My uncle has a company in Jiangzhou. He knows many big shots there. Just a few tickets, it's extremely easy."
Wang Hongming boasted.
"Knowing the big shots in Jiangzhou?"
"Brother Ming is amazing!"
"With Brother Ming, there's no problem."
Everyone looked at Wang Hongming with eyes full of envy and admiration.
Bathing in their envious gazes, Wang Hongming felt immensely proud.
With a proud look, he glanced provocatively at Chu Chen, seemingly mocking him.
"Third Uncle, help me get eight tickets to Shuitian Villa for today."
Wang Hongming said.
"Eight tickets to Shuitian Villa?"
On the phone, Wang Hongming's third uncle was taken aback. His nephew was indeed clueless.
"Wait a minute."
Wang Hongming's third uncle was unsure if he could get them.
You must know, Shuitian Villa tickets were all pre-sold, with only 300 available each day. They were usually sold out twenty days in advance.
"My third uncle is getting them. We'll have them soon."
"Let's get ready to go."
Wang Hongming was already getting ready to leave.
According to the time, the cars he rented should have arrived.
To show off in front of everyone, he had spent over ten thousand, renting two Maserati Quattroportes worth 1.5 million.
When the Maseratis appeared, they would definitely shock everyone!
Then, he wanted to see what Chu Chen would do.
"Brother Ming is awesome!"
"Brother Ming is truly Brother Ming."
While everyone was praising him, Wang Hongming's phone rang. His third uncle was calling.
"Not even one ticket."
Before Wang Hongming could speak, his third uncle began.
"What? How could there not be a single ticket?"
Wang Hongming almost jumped up.
Beside him, everyone looked at each other upon hearing Wang Hongming's words.
"I've asked many people. They all said no way; the tickets are sold out."
"What about tomorrow?"
"None."
"The day after tomorrow?"
"Don't even mention the day after tomorrow. The tickets for the next twenty days are sold out. Tickets for after twenty days haven't been pre-sold yet."
With that, Wang Hongming's third uncle hung up, leaving Wang Hongming dumbfounded.
He had just confidently assured them but now couldn't get a single ticket.
"No tickets. The tickets for the next twenty days are sold out."
Wang Hongming said awkwardly.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Right, we just won't go."
Wang Hongming's friends quickly spoke up for him.
Wang Hongming explained to himself, speaking with absolute certainty;
"Shuitian Villa tickets are too precious, all pre-booked. No one can get same-day tickets!"
"Do you really want to go?"
Chu Chen asked Han Shishi and the others.
"Of course we want to go."
Zhao Xuan replied without hesitation.
"Leave the tickets to me."
Hearing this, Wang Hongming instantly became displeased.
"Leave it to you, a poor college student. Who are you kidding?"
"Even my third uncle couldn't get them. Even a god couldn't, let alone you."
Wang Hongming mocked and ridiculed.
"Wang Hongming, watch your words."
"Brother Chu is also trying for our sake. Even if he can't get them, it's okay."
Han Shishi stood up for Chu Chen.
"Right."
Zhao Xuan and the others also stood up.
"Sure, eight tickets, Manager Li, please handle this."
If others couldn't get the tickets, did Chu Chen still need to worry?
After all, Shuitian Villa was his!
"Shishi, your phone number."
"1******..." Han Shishi answered.
"All done."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
It was done?
So quickly?
Even earlier, Wang Hongming had waited for a while, though in vain.
But Chu Chen was too fast, getting it done with just a phone call and two sentences?
How was that possible?
"Brother Chu is amazing."
Han Shishi said, her eyes full of admiration.
"You're remarkable, handsome!"
"Unbelievable!"
Everyone marveled.
"Ha, it must be fake. It's too easy. I don't believe it."
Only Wang Hongming spoke, sarcastically.
"Who are you fooling?"
"If you can get them, I'll take your surname!"
Just then, Han Shishi's phone rang, her eyes widening as she read the message out loud:
"Miss Han Shishi, Shuitian Villa reminds you that your eight tickets have been successfully booked. Shuitian Villa welcomes you and wishes you a pleasant trip!"
