I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 579 - 425 Finale
Xia Liang shook his head and said bluntly, "I don’t need to play such tricks to show off."
"The hotel."
Stunned for a moment, Lin Tian paused. The realization that Xia Liang was calling from his hotel room made him scratch his head in embarrassment.
"Alright then, I’ll wait for Master Xia tonight." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
After hanging up, Lin Tian returned to Tianyi Entertainment City with an embarrassed look on his face. Only one thought occupied his mind.
I’m done for. Is Master Xia going to think I’m a fool?
「That evening at seven o’clock.」
Outside Tianyi Entertainment City, a banner was already hung over the entrance, where a crowd was waiting for the grand opening.
Although the scale of this entertainment city was not large, especially when compared to the mega-casinos in Haojiang, Lin Tian had still pulled out all the stops. He invited several media friends, some of Haojiang’s VIPs, and even a locally famous female celebrity to support the event. Consequently, a considerable crowd had already gathered outside before seven.
"Lin Tian, the person you invited hasn’t shown up yet. It’s almost seven. He isn’t going to stand us up, is he?" Luo Ying glanced at his watch, speaking with some displeasure to Lin Tian beside him.
He was also one of the guests Lin Tian had invited, known in Haojiang as the Little Gambling Saint. Next to them stood Wu Tong, a female star in her twenties. Most of the media cameras outside the entertainment city were aimed at her.
Wu Tong stood about 1.7 meters tall. A goddess-level beauty, she possessed a natural, sultry charm that made every movement exceedingly enticing and sexy. She had never cultivated a pure and innocent image, instead always wearing a faint smile as if the world was hers to command. Wu Tong debuted as a beauty pageant winner and was immediately hailed by the media as the most beautiful champion in history. Afterwards, she became an overnight sensation throughout Xiangjiang by starring in a TV series and a movie.
This time, Lin Tian had specially invited her for the ribbon-cutting, offering a fee of two Yuan. While this price couldn’t compare to her current fee for a drama, two Yuan for just a simple ribbon-cutting was a pretty good deal.
"He won’t. Master Xia already promised me. He will definitely come." Hearing Luo Ying’s words, Lin Tian shook his head. How could someone of Master Xia’s caliber not keep their word?
"I heard you prepared twenty Yuan for this master," Luo Ying said, clicking his tongue. "Why don’t we just cut the ribbon before he arrives? You could save yourself the twenty Yuan."
As he spoke, Luo Ying was fuming internally. Lin Tian had invited him for just one Yuan, but this so-called master was getting a full ten Yuan—ten times his own fee. He couldn’t help but wonder who this person really was.
Meanwhile, Wu Tong was also taken aback when she overheard the price of ten Yuan, but her expression showed little change. Her fee for a single drama was in a similar range. Although she knew Lin Tian had invited someone else besides herself and Luo Ying, she never expected the remuneration to be so high—five times her own for this event. Being inherently proud, Wu Tong’s interest in Xia Liang was suddenly piqued.
Who is this person, getting paid more than me?
After hearing Luo Ying’s suggestion, Lin Tian just laughed awkwardly. "Actually, I already transferred the money to Master Xia a few days ago. How could we not wait for him?" To prevent Xia Liang from backing out, Lin Tian had transferred the ten Yuan the very night he agreed to come.
Hearing this, Luo Ying sighed dramatically. "We only get our money after the ribbon-cutting is done. Is this Master Xia really that amazing? You paid him in advance and are making the rest of us wait for half an hour. I don’t mind, but," he said, pointing at Wu Tong beside him, "Miss Wu can’t wait. She’s a big star now. It’s not right to keep her hanging around here. If her fans in Xiangjiang found out, who knows what they would do."
Lin Tian turned to Wu Tong apologetically. "Miss Wu, if you’re tired, please go inside and have a seat. You can come out for the ribbon-cutting once Master Xia arrives."
However, Wu Tong simply waved her hand, signaling that it was no bother. Curiosity glinted in her eyes. "I’d also like to see who this Master Xia you’re talking about is."
Apart from them, the reporters and media waiting outside were also growing impatient. Who was Lin Tian waiting for? Could it be a celebrity even bigger than Wu Tong? But considering the humble scale of this entertainment city, he likely couldn’t afford a bigger star.
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, Lin Tian’s eyes lit up as he looked into the distance. He had seen Xia Liang’s photo before. Instantly, everyone’s gaze followed his, turning to look down the street.
A lone, thin figure on a small yellow bike was slowly riding toward the entertainment city.
The rider was Xia Liang. After a rather light dinner at his hotel, he had decided to go for a stroll. Not wanting to walk or deal with the hassle of a car, he had grabbed a shareable yellow e-bike. Xia Liang parked it to the side and walked slowly towards the entrance of the entertainment city.
Seeing him, Lin Tian immediately rushed over, his face brimming with excitement. "Master Xia, you’ve finally arrived! Please, come in, come in."
The smile on his face and his eager attitude were leagues beyond the welcome he had given Luo Ying and Wu Tong.
Luo Ying and Wu Tong exchanged helpless looks.
The surrounding media didn’t know who this person was, but sensing his importance from Lin Tian’s reaction, they also focused their cameras on him.
