Chapter 1699 - 1702: Even My Side Business Can Crush You

In an instant, everyone present stared at Shen Qiang in shocked silence, communicating through their eyes. Even the star actress Song Weiyin, too, looked at Shen Qiang with a sparkling gaze."Truly unexpected, Shen Qiang is known for his bad temper, vengeful and complex character, it's no secret in the Cultivation World. Faced with such provocation, isn't he supposed to ruthlessly mock Zhai Zhijie, then turn away arrogantly? A refined and handsome guy like this, is he really the King of Demons, Shen Qiang?"

While she was in astonishment, those present exchanged skeptical glances.

Unlike those in the Cultivation World who understood Shen Qiang and knew about Heshenghe, to these ordinary people, Shen Qiang was just an unfamiliar outsider who opened a restaurant, cooked well, and won a culinary championship.

But that's all there was to it.

"Three or five billion considered a big scene? This restaurant owner sure acts wild."

"His composure is impressive, and he's great at bluffing. This restaurant might be lavishly decorated, but if rented, the investment stops at a few million, yet he casually tosses around billions - he's quite a show-off."

"It's a pity he isn't an actor."

While they were calculating in their heads, no one could consider an investment of billions as trivial, Zhai Zhijie's eyes were filled with ridicule and contempt.

"Oh, in that case, maybe I'm a bit uninformed. Mr. Owner, since you're so generous, why not tell us about your investments? Are you investing in the Riverside Garden in Southern City? Which office building in the CBD business district is yours, sir?"

Hearing this, everyone present laughed, casting mocking glances at Shen Qiang.

"Serves him right for showing off, calling the Golden Radiance Consortium's president a little kid for managing three or five billion; he deserves a slap in the face."

"Haha, truly lost face, that's for sure. Opens a small restaurant and forgets his own roots. Beijing is full of wealthy folks, outsiders should know their place, pretending to be a mogul, huh, can you pull it off?"

"Ha, trying to play the hero to save beauty and step in for Song Weiyin, but does he have what it takes?"

Just as Zhai Zhijie and the others were ready to see Shen Qiang embarrassed, Shen Qiang laughed instead. Had this happened earlier, Shen Qiang might have gotten angry, but time is the best friend. After more than a year of hard work, Shen Qiang no longer cared about money and found it somewhat amusing.

Because as long as there are cultivators and people in need of elixir pills, Shen Qiang will never be short of money, and even if he is, it's only temporary.

"Is investing in office buildings in Beijing really lucrative?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow with a smile.

Zhai Zhijie laughed, "Of course, but the price of office buildings in Beijing isn't cheap, ordinary folks simply can't afford it."

Everyone present nodded, not verbally agreeing, but their eyes clearly showed they concurred with Zhai Zhijie's opinion.

Shen Qiang smiled, finding the situation amusing. Flaunting wealth to ordinary people seemed a bit too pedestrian because Shen Qiang genuinely didn't care. There are many wealthier than Shen Qiang in the world, but Zhai Zhijie certainly wasn't among them.

What's a president?

A manager of the group.

Like Bianyi of Heshenghe Group, who holds only two percent of the shares, meaning when dividends are given, out of every one hundred yuan earned, ninety-eight yuan are Shen Qiang's, and only the remaining two are Bianyi's.

Bianyi is also wealthy, but compared to Shen Qiang, it's a joke.

Although the current situation is slightly different, essentially it's not, meaning unless extremely bored, Shen Qiang wouldn't bother comparing wealth with Bianyi, as the outcome is a foregone conclusion.

So even after sensing the ridicule in Zhai Zhijie's tone,

Shen Qiang just smiled calmly and said, "Sounds high-end, but I'm not interested, so sir, please sit down and dine quietly."

Hearing this, Zhai Zhijie smirked contemptuously, "Tsk tsk, I actually admire those with thick skin, because they know that just having interest won't get you far in Beijing's office market. Without billions in funding, you simply aren't qualified to enter, so to save face, they would typically claim to be uninterested rather than admit they can't afford it."

Immediately, everyone burst into laughter.

"As expected from the president of the Golden Radiance Consortium, that was spot on!"

"Haha, so realistic!"

"Hmm, can't afford it and says it's not needed, can't play the game and says there's no interest - sour grapes are sour indeed, hahaha, such a profitable market, only a fool would miss out if they had the money."

Amidst the laughter, Zhai Zhijie looked at Shen Qiang and said, "This restaurant owner, if you can't afford to invest, you can come to me. As long as your brain is up to it and you can convince me, money will never be an issue."

"Brain?" Everyone chuckled again.

"If he had brains, would he dare to show off in front of the president of a consortium?"

"Haha, hilarious! If he had a brain, upon seeing someone as strong and powerful as Zhai Zhijie, he'd already be hiding on the side."

"Indeed, Zhai Zhijie's mockery isn't even about how much money the restaurant owner has but rather ridiculing his intelligence."

Amidst the discussions, Zhai Zhijie glanced triumphantly at the stunning actress Song Weiyin, then raised an eyebrow at Shen Qiang, saying, "Do you understand what I mean? Honestly, although your attire seems decent and you speak boldly, I've seen too many like you - no real capability, just big talkers. Don't even mention three or five billion, they can't come up with thirty or fifty million."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang, who initially didn't want to take it seriously, let out a laugh. Although he sensed ulterior motives from the actress Song Weiyin and this Datong River restaurant was indeed just for fun, as the owner of Datong River, he wouldn't just endure humiliation from someone who only knows how to talk big in his own territory.

"Sit down and eat, please. I actually thought you were some elite before, and perhaps this Golden Radiance Consortium was really impressive, but after hearing you, I suddenly feel that you and your consortium's rank are too low." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Is three or five billion money? Just recently, I paid two hundred billion cash in my hometown to invest in a small pharmaceutical company called Tianyou Pharmaceutical Care."

Gazing at the instantly dumbfounded Zhai Zhijie, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Of course, that's just a small business, a personal hobby I fiddle with casually, but I think that's enough to mock you."
