I confess, I am the Mr. Richest

Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Sorry, It’s All My Fault for Being Too Handsome

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Who are you?”

Wang Hongming asked Chu Chen with palpable hostility.

“He’s a friend of Shishi’s brother.”

Chu Chen didn’t respond; instead, a young girl nearby answered instinctively.

“A friend of her brother?”

Glancing at Chu Chen, a mysterious smile appeared on Wang Hongming’s face.

“So, he’s just a poor college student. This will be easy.”

Chu Chen already sensed Wang Hongming’s hostility. Glancing at Han Shishi and the others, Chu Chen instantly understood.

For a moment, Chu Chen felt a pang of guilt.

“Oh, I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault for being too handsome, attracting the attention of all the girls.”

If they hadn’t seen him, it was uncertain whether Wang Hongming would have a chance with Han Shishi and her friends.

But now that they had, Chu Chen was certain Wang Hongming had no chance in this lifetime.

Too pitiful.

“Where should we go for fun?”

Following Wang Hongming, a few other guys and girls came over and asked.

On this trip, Wang Hongming, being a second-generation rich kid, volunteered to take responsibility for planning the itinerary.

“We’ll first go to Lingyun Peak, then to Fulong Temple, and tomorrow we’ll…”

Wang Hongming recited the planned itinerary.

“Why isn’t Linyue Lake on the list?”

One of Han Shishi’s two girlfriends asked.

It was Zhao Xuan, who had exclaimed how handsome Chu Chen was when she first saw him.

“Yeah, Linyue Lake is famed for its beauty in Tiannan Province, isn’t it?”

Wang Hongming’s companion asked as well.

“I want to go too, but now Linyue Lake isn’t a tourist spot anymore. They built a villa district around it, and it’s now a private landscape, so outsiders aren’t allowed in.”

Wang Hongming answered helplessly.

“Oh, what a shame.”

“Curse those wicked rich people!”

Everyone expressed their regret.

Hearing this, Chu Chen touched his nose, his expression changing slightly.

He seemed to be one of those wicked rich people.

“Brother Ming, wait a minute. Besides Linyue Lake, it seems we don’t have Shuitian Villa on our list either.”

“I heard Brother Yuan say that Shuitian Villa is the most fun place in Jiangzhou.”

One of Wang Hongming’s companions chimed in.

For these 17 or 18-year-old youngsters, fun places were much more attractive than some natural sights.

“I’ve heard of it too. Let’s go to Shuitian Villa first.”

Zhao Xuan suggested as well.

“Yeah, Brother Ming, let’s head to Shuitian Villa first.”

“Let’s go to Shuitian Villa.”

Others eagerly proposed.

Hearing this, Han Shishi’s eyes sparkled, showing her keen interest.

“I heard Shuitian Villa’s tickets are hard to get and quite expensive?”

Han Shishi hesitated and said.

Wang Hongming instantly got energized. His chance had come.

Finally, the opportunity arrived!

It was time to showcase his capabilities, to make Han Shishi look up to him.

A few tickets, that’s all?

With his family’s connections, how could he not get them?

“Leave this to me.”

Wang Hongming guaranteed, pounding his chest.

“My uncle owns a company in Jiangzhou, and he knows lots of big shots there. Just a few tickets, that’s a piece of cake.”

Wang Hongming boasted.

“You know the big shots in Jiangzhou?”

“Wang Hongming, you’re awesome!”

“With Wang Ming around, nothing is a problem.”

Everyone looked at Wang Hongming with admiration and envy.

Receiving such envious looks, Wang Hongming was extremely proud.

With a look of triumph, Wang Hongming cast a provoking glance at Chu Chen, seemingly ridiculing him as rubbish.

“Uncle, get me eight tickets for Shuitian Villa today.”

Wang Hongming requested.

“Eight tickets to Shuitian Villa?”

On the phone, Wang Hongming’s uncle was taken aback; his nephew was clueless about the situation.

“Hold on a second.”

Wang Hongming’s uncle wasn’t sure if he could secure them.

It was known that Shuitian Villa’s tickets were all pre-sold, with only 300 tickets available daily, usually snapped up more than 20 days in advance.

“My uncle’s sorting it out; we’ll be good soon.”

“Let’s get ready to go.”

Wang Hongming was already prepared to set off.

Judging by the time, the rental cars should have arrived by now.

To impress, he’d spent over ten thousand yuan renting two Maserati Quattroportes worth 1.5 million each.

The moment the Maseratis appeared, they’d surely wow everyone!

By then, he wanted to see how Chu Chen would manage.

“Brother Ming’s so impressive!”

“Brother Ming is unmatched.”

As everyone praised him, Wang Hongming’s phone rang; his uncle was calling back.

“Not a single ticket left.”

Before Wang Hongming could speak, his uncle declared.

“What? How can there be none?”

Wang Hongming almost jumped up.

Nearby, everyone exchanged startled looks upon hearing Wang Hongming’s words.

“I’ve asked a lot of people and they all said no way; the tickets are sold out.”

“What about tomorrow?”

“No.”

“The day after tomorrow?”

“Forget it, even for the next 20 days, there are no tickets available. And tickets beyond 20 days haven’t been pre-sold by Shuitian Villa yet.”

With that, Wang Hongming’s uncle hung up, leaving Wang Hongming dumbfounded.

He had firmly guaranteed moments ago, yet now he couldn’t secure even one ticket.

“We can’t get the tickets; even tickets for over 20 days later are gone.”

Wang Hongming explained awkwardly.

“No worries, it’s alright.”

“Yeah, we just won’t go, it’s no big deal.”

Wang Hongming’s friends quickly spoke up for him.

Wang Hongming tried justifying himself, speaking with unwavering confidence,

“Tickets for Shuitian Villa are incredibly precious; they’re all pre-booked. No one can obtain same-day tickets on the same day!”

“Do you really want to go?”

Chu Chen asked Han Shishi and the others.

“Of course we do.”

Zhao Xuan replied without hesitation.

“Leave the tickets to me.”

Hearing this, Wang Hongming was instantly displeased.

“You, leave it to you? A poor college student, who are you trying to fool?”

“Even my uncle can’t get the tickets; even if a deity came, it’s impossible. Let alone, you.”

Wang Hongming sneered.

“Watch your mouth, Wang Hongming.”

“Chu brother is doing this for our sake. Even if he doesn’t get them, it’s okay.”

Han Shishi stepped in to defend Chu Chen.

“Right.”

Zhao Xuan and another girl stood up as well.

“Right, eight tickets—Manager Li, I’ll leave this to you.”

Others couldn’t get tickets, but could Chu Chen not?

After all, Shuitian Villa was his!

“Shishi, your phone number.”

“1******…” Han Shishi replied.

“Done.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was left dumbfounded.

Done?

Had the tickets been secured just like that?

Even earlier, Wang Hongming had to wait a while, although unsuccessfully. @@novelbin@@

But Chu Chen was incredibly fast; just a phone call and a couple of sentences, and the tickets were obtained?

How could that be?

“Brother Chu is amazing.”

Han Shishi spoke, her eyes filled with admiration.

“Bro, you’re incredible!”

“This is unbelievable!”

Everyone was incredulous.

“Hah, as if! That easy? I don’t believe it.”

Only Wang Hongming muttered, sarcastically.

“Who are you fooling?”

“If you manage to get them, I’ll take your surname!”

Just then, Han Shishi’s phone beeped with a message.

She read it instinctively:

“Miss Han Shishi, Shuitian Villa reminds you that your order for eight tickets has been successfully placed. Shuitian Villa welcomes your visit and wishes you a pleasant trip!”
