Chapter 547: Shangguan Ze, the Penny-pinching Real Estate Tycoon
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Serene Garden, Rong Qi and Shangguan Ze were discussing their next steps.
Shangguan Ze, puzzled by the choice of Rong Holdings, frowned and asked, “With so many companies to choose from, why settle for this mediocre Rong Holdings?”
Rong Qi glanced at Shangguan Ze and asked, “Aren’t I the heir?”
Shangguan Ze was at a loss for words. He thought it would be better to sell Rong Holdings and start a new one. They shouldn’t bother investing in a small, struggling company.
After discussing the follow-up steps and receiving a call from Duan Qianming confirming everything was ready for Sevenfold Venture Group’s return to the country, Rong Qi suddenly felt nauseous. Her eyes clouded with a misty haze.
Shangguan Ze frowned and asked, “Are you feeling sick talking to Duan Qianming?”
Rong Qi ignored Shangguan Ze, resting on the sofa.
Shangguan Ze remarked, “How much does a call to Leucia cost? Maybe we should text next time. It’s quite expensive.”
Despite his wealth, Shangguan Ze was known for his frugality. That’s why he chose to live in Serene Garden instead of a fancy hotel because it was free.
Rong Qi glanced at Shangguan Ze and said, “Calls to Leucia are free. Texts cost a dime each. International rates for you are even higher.”
“Damn! Get me a local number, and we’ll call from now on. No more texting, it’s too expensive,” said Shangguan Ze.
Rong Qi was speechless. She was wondering if she could kick out the miser Shangguan Ze.
“I’ll leave the rest to you, I’m heading back.” Rong Qi instructed. She was hungry, and the baby she was carrying was getting restless. It was time to soothe it, and most of the work was done anyway.
“I’ll drive you,” Shangguan Ze offered quickly, heading out. Having just met with Hades and hearing Rong Qi had hit him, Shangguan Ze worried about potential retaliation.
Shangguan Ze drove out a black jeep, which looked quite old. He patted the passenger seat and said, “Hop in!”
Rong Qi reluctantly got into the car. The jeep, seemingly outdated, had a sour smell inside, making her uncomfortable.
Since Xu Yi was knocked out and Jian Yunzhou returned to the Inspectorate, she had no choice but to ride with Shangguan Ze.
Shangguan Ze preferred modest vehicles over sports cars, and this jeep has been a significant decision for him.
“Where did you get this car? It looked quite worn.” Rong Qi asked.
Shangguan Ze excitedly explained, “I got it for only fifty thousand from a repair shop. Isn’t it a steal?”
Rong Qi was speechless. She thought, ‘So it’s a refurbished junk car. No wonder it was old and broken.’
“Let’s go,” Rong Qi said impatiently.
Shangguan Ze nodded.

The car merely jerked forward but didn’t move. That strange act made the already nauseous Rong Qi feel worse.
“Move over, I’ll drive,” Rong Qi said as she held back the acidity in her stomach.
Shangguan Ze, looking hurt, said, “Let me do it. You seem unwell. But is Clearcreek Mansion far? How much fuel will it waste? Can I get reimbursed?”
“No reimbursement, but a punch is available. Do you want it?” Rong Qi offered..
