I confess, I am the Mr. Richest-Chapter 160 - : This Chu Chen, Can’t Save Mei Garden!
Chapter 160: Chapter 160: This Chu Chen, Can’t Save Mei Garden!
“Did you ask me before you rented it?” Chu Chen spoke.
Yang Deye saying such things about his own friend right in front of him was a bit too much.
Aren’t you rich?
Today I’m going to make you bleed money!
Chu Chen was ready to dig a pit.
“Oh?”
Hearing Chu Chen’s words, Yang Deye became instantly interested.
He didn’t expect this pretty boy to be so tough. Good, very good.
“My husband wants to rent the venue, how is it any of your business?”
Before Yang Deye could speak, Yu Shuangshuang scolded Chu Chen first.
To maintain her place with Yang Deye and not be kicked to the curb, Yu Shuangshuang worked hard to please Yang Deye by mocking Chu Chen.
“Kid, did you hear that?”
Yang Deye asked with a cold smile.
“Today, I’m renting the place. Rich and capricious, you better get out, you’re not welcome here.”
“Three million to rent the whole hotel for a night, should be enough, right?”
Yang Deye said to the receptionist.
The Donghai Hilton Hotel had about 500 rooms, and if each room was priced at 2,000, it would only amount to 1,000,000.
If you add other things, it’s at most two million.
Paying three million to rent the whole hotel for a night was more than enough.
“More than enough, more than enough.”
The receptionist, who had never seen such a wealthy person, nodded repeatedly.
They were quite scared, three million to rent the entire hotel, that was so extravagant.
Hearing the receptionist’s words, Yang Deye looked at Chu Chen with a smug expression.
“I bid five million.”
The next moment, Chu Chen’s words left Yang Deye utterly surprised.
Saying that, Chu Chen took out a black gold card from China Merchants Bank.
This kind of card was only issued by China Merchants Bank to clients with annual deposits of more than 20 million.
“Oh wow, I didn’t expect you to not be just a pretty boy; you actually have some money?”
Seeing this, Yang Deye spoke.
Chu Chen’s deliberate action made Yang Deye feel provoked.
“I’ll bid eight million.”
“Ten million,” Chu Chen continued speaking.
“Fifteen million.”
“Twenty million.”
…
“Fifty million, to rent the Hilton Hotel for one night.”
Chu Chen spoke, and from his expression, it seemed he was almost at his limit.
Seeing this, Yang Deye, who was initially feeling a bit pained by the price, gritted his teeth.
“Sixty million.”
“…Sixty-five million…”
Chu Chen hesitated for a long time as if he had reached his limit.
“Seventy million!”
Yang Deye made one last attempt, also his limit.
“Do you have that much?” Chu Chen spoke.
“Hmph, seventy million to rent the Hilton for a night, swipe the card.”
Saying this, Yang Deye arrogantly handed his card to the receptionist, proving his financial strength.
When it comes to money, he had never lost!
Handing over the card, Yang Deye looked at Chu Chen arrogantly, full of pride.
“Boss, do you allow him to rent the hotel?”
The receptionist asked, inquiring of Chu Chen.
The receptionist girl had just found out Chu Chen’s identity through the work group.
“Yes.”
Chu Chen nodded with a smile.
Boss?
What boss?
Hearing the receptionist refer to Chu Chen as “boss,” Yang Deye was stunned.
The person competing with him was the owner of the Hilton?
What a joke.
Then, why did he compete with him?
This guy was the owner of the Hilton Hotel, bidding at will, it didn’t matter to him at all.
But he ended up spending seventy million to rent a hotel for one night that was only worth a bit over two million?
“Thank you, sir, for giving our Hilton an increase in sales worth two to three months in one day.”
Chu Chen kindly said to Yang Deye, and after saying that, he took Xia Mengqi by the hand and headed outside.
Since they couldn’t stay in the hotel, they would stay at his Mei Garden instead, which had plenty of rooms.
Left there were only Yang Deye and Yu Shuangshuang, stunned as they realized they had been duped!
In the past, he always tricked others, but today it turned around on him?
“My seventy million!”
Yang Deye cried out, his heart bleeding.
…
Tonight, Xia Mengqi temporarily stayed at Chu Chen’s Mei Garden, and Chu Chen notified Angel Entertainment Group to find a suitable villa for Xia Mengqi as an apartment.
In a certain mansion in Donghai.
A middle-aged man sat at a desk, looking at the document just handed to him.
On the first page of the document was Chu Chen’s photo.
“From Jiangzhou, parents are both ordinary people, now CEO of Junlin Tianxia, Director of Xueying Catering Group, owner of Xilan International Hotel, Angel Entertainment Group…”
The document detailed Chu Chen’s identity without missing a thing.
“So this is the Chu Chen that Zhong Guanghui and those guys like Old Ge praise so much?”
After reading the document, the middle-aged man disdainfully tossed aside Chu Chen’s profile.
The middle-aged man investigated Chu Chen’s family, including his parents, grandparents, and other relatives, finding them all to be ordinary people without any mysterious background.
Although Chu Chen had many titles like CEO and owner, which sounded impressive.
The results were just a few companies worth billions and tens of billions.
The most impressive being the chairman of Angel Entertainment Group.
Altogether, they barely made Chu Chen a young billionaire.
But this was far less than someone who became a billionaire from just one major company.
Although their net worth was similar, the personal connections and social circles were vastly different.
After thoroughly understanding Chu Chen’s identity, the middle-aged man made up his mind.
The middle-aged man stared at a photo on the table, lost in thought.
That photo was of Mei Garden!
The middle-aged man’s name was Zheng Chengping, a real estate tycoon.
In his early years, he was just a small contractor who kept a group of thugs on hand. As housing prices soared, Zheng Chengping’s investment in real estate skyrocketed his net worth, making him a nouveau riche by any standard.
In terms of net worth, Zheng Chengping was even higher than Zhong Guanghui and Zhang Xuan’s father, who was also a real estate mogul.
Like many moguls, Zheng Chengping had been eyeing Mei Garden for many years.
But because the previous owner of Mei Garden insisted on not selling, Zheng Chengping had no way.

Now, hearing that Mei Garden had changed ownership, Zheng Chengping was intrigued.
Although his net worth had increased, the label of “nouveau riche” still stuck to Zheng Chengping, which greatly annoyed him as he aspired to develop into a noble family.
Leaving aside other aspects, just talking about mansions, his estate couldn’t compare to those grand estates of noble families.
But if he could acquire Mei Garden, things would be different.
A mansion symbolizes the heritage and history of a family, as well as its background and strength.
If he obtained Mei Garden, he could definitely rid himself of the nouveau riche status.
It could even, to a certain extent, help the development of his real estate business.
The change in ownership of Mei Garden was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
One must understand that there were only a handful of garden estates like Mei Garden available for purchase in the country.
He had to seize this opportunity.
But he didn’t dare act rashly, what if Chu Chen had some hidden identity?
Therefore, Zheng Chengping sent people to gather information on Chu Chen.
After reading the information, Zheng Chengping made up his mind.
With no background, no connections, only a bit of money.
This Chu Chen couldn’t hold onto Mei Garden!
Thinking this, Zheng Chengping stood up and walked out.
