After the sound of the gunshot, Xu Hao's pupils clenched, and his body instantly went limp.
Zhang Yi's shot didn't hit his head, it just shot past his ear.
This shot scared the guts out of Xu Hao!
He sat on the ground, panting heavily.
"Big Brother Zhang, don't kill me, what I said is true!"
Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes and slowly squatted down, staring into Xu Hao's eyes as he asked, "Give me an explanation that will satisfy me. Make me believe that you're not setting up a trap with Wang Siming to harm me! Then you still have a chance to live."
Xu Hao took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.
He said, "Because compared to going against you, following you is the only way to have a chance to live, isn't it?"
"I've already seen your methods, I'm not that stupid to still dare to be your enemy. In comparison, Wang Siming who has been living inside the shelter is much better to deal with."
"What's more," Xu Hao gritted his teeth, "I want that son of a bitch Wang Siming to die even more than you do!"
A glint flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes.
"Oh, aren't you guys friends?"
"Friends? Heh!"
Xu Hao's smile carried indignation and sourness in it.
"He and I aren't friends at all! In his eyes, I'm probably not even close to a dog!"
Xu Hao explained the relationship between the two to Zhang Yi.
"Our Xu family is considered a rich and powerful family in Tianhai City. My dad's listed company has a market capitalization of billions, so as a matter of fact, I'm the number one son in Tianhai City, right?"
"But after Wang Siming came back from abroad, the pattern of the entire rich second generation circle in Tianhai City changed completely."
"Their Wang family is far superior to our family in terms of both financial strength and background!"
"In front of others, I'm Xu Shao who is worth a lot of money. But in his eyes, I'm nothing at all."
Zhang Yi smiled faintly and said with interest, "I do remember Wang Siming saying something. 'I don't care if he has money or not at all when I make friends, they're not as rich as me anyway.'"
Xu Hao nodded, "That's right, that's the truth."
Zhang Yi was a bit puzzled.
"You just hate him because he's richer than you?"
"No, you don't understand our circle at all!"
Xu Hao shook his head before explaining to Zhang Yi.
"The Xu family is in the building materials business, and the Wang family is our biggest gold master. In other words, our entire family has to look at the Wang family's face to eat."
"That's why once Wang Siming came back, I had to work my ass off to flatter him and curry favor with him."
Xu Hao's eyes were filled with a look of humiliation, and his fists were clenched.
A wealthy son who had been pampered for more than twenty years, but had to spend the entire day going to bow down and curry favor with others, there was definitely a feeling of humiliation within.
"Even if he takes a fancy to my woman, I wouldn't dare to have half a word of complaint, and I must personally deliver it to his bed to do so!"
Xu Hao's face flushed with excitement.
"That's my woman, my woman! One word from him and I'll have to send it over for him to play with!"
"And not just once, but several times, several times!"
"Do you know that because of this matter, I've become the laughing stock of others in the entire second generation circle of Jiangnan!"
Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows and was slightly touched by this.
A little known rich second generation in Jiangnan, yet he gave up his girlfriend multiple times in order to curry favor with a bigger rich second generation.
How was this behavior any different from a pimp?
No wonder Xu Hao was so agitated.
Mentioning women, Zhang Yi also asked with some curiosity, "I've long heard that Wang Siming's biggest hobby is beautiful women. Some people even said that he has talked to tens of thousands of girlfriends, is this true?"
When Zhang Yi heard this rumor, he was not quite convinced.
After all, even if a person lived to be a hundred years old, it was only 36,500 days. With so many girlfriends, one a day wouldn't be enough to take a turn!
Xu Hao, however, laughed.
"Brother Zhang, don't blame me for speaking badly. How flowery the real rich circle plays is something you ordinary people can't even imagine when you think about it."
"You thought that the rich people's lives written inside those online novels were already exaggerated and fake enough, right? But compared to reality, it's not even close!"
Zhang Yi's eyes became a bit more serious, people always have some gossip complex in them.
"Oh? How so?"
Xu Hao laughed, "Wang Siming has more than a few tens of thousands of women around him, that's more than a hundred thousand!"
Zhang Yi froze for a moment, then laughed out loud and scolded, "What did you say about your horse? There has to be a limit to bragging, don't think that just because I'm not a rich second generation like you that I don't know anything."
"Over a hundred thousand? Why don't you say over a billion?"
Zhang Yi felt that Xu Hao was just playing him.
The famously despicable emperor Sima Yan in history had a harem of just tens of thousands.
Because there were too many people, he couldn't visit them every day. He could only be pulled by a goat cart and spend the night wherever he stopped.
Wang Siming is now only in his early forties.
If he had more than 100,000 women, wouldn't he have to play poker with hundreds of people every day on average?
In that case, it would be a miracle for him to be alive.
"Brother Zhang, what I said is true! I also told you that the world of rich people is beyond your imagination."
Xu Hao smiled somewhat helplessly.
Zhang Yi asked curiously, "Is that so? Then tell me carefully, how did these hundred thousand people play over?"
Xu Hao explained with a straight face, "Is this not simple? Wang Siming has people around him who specialize in finding women for him throughout the country. These women's status ranges from high to low, what kind of women are there."
"Female stars in the movie and television industry, female anchors on the internet, to Tianhai City celebrities, Shengjing Baiziwan girls and the like."
"He's a person who doesn't shy away, as long as it's a pretty girl, he'll net them all."
"Just from what I know, he has dozens of cell phones, and each cell phone is labeled with a number, representing dozens of provinces. And inside each cell phone, there are dozens of WeChat groups."
"All over the country, every place he would get a group, and inside the group are local beauties. It's not just the domestic ones, but the foreign ones as well."
Zhang Yi's expression was slightly stunned.
It could still be played like this?
It was really an insightful experience!
"How can he be busy with so many girls?"
Zhang Yi wasn't quite able to understand, it was hard to believe that he knew multiple shadow doppelgänger techniques? Or practiced Infinite Sympathy?
Xu Hao laughed, "It's actually very simple. These girls, as long as he goes somewhere to play one day, he will notify the people in this neighborhood, and in one go, he can call over hundreds of people to accompany him."
"Even if he doesn't go over there on weekdays, as long as he wants to have fun, it's only a matter of a message for the whole country to be parachuted in."
"By the way, have you ever seen those videos of girls writing on their bodies online? What congratulations to EDG for winning the championship, congratulations to Lionel Messi for winning the championship!"
"Where do these videos come from? Let's say Wang Siming gives an order inside the group, and they'll immediately give you all kinds of performances. Don't even talk about writing on the body, there are even bigger scales!"
"Usually it's dumping red envelopes inside the group, and once they're sent out, they're big tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. And the few girls who grabbed the biggest red packets come to send videos."
Zhang Yi was also emotional as he listened.
It did not occur to me that rich people could still play like this.
"I get it, to put it bluntly, he collects so many girls as a backup group. It's hard to say if you'll use them or not, but it's similar to keeping pets, so you can have them at your disposal when you need them, right?"
Xu Hao nodded, "That's the truth. After all, people's money can't be spent in ten lifetimes, so there has to be a way to spend it."
He added humorously, "This is also considered a kind of social wealth redistribution, isn't it?"
Zhang Yi took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.
"I finally understand why there are so many leftover women in big cities."
