Reborn as a Noble's Son-Chapter 371 - 362: There’s Always Someone Blind_1
Chapter 371: Chapter 362: There’s Always Someone Blind_1
Nie Zhenbang also laughed at this moment, “Big brother, your wife Yuqing is too good, she even calculated this time. Okay, you should go back first, big brother. We’ll go with Xinglong.”
With the elder’s passing away, a certain atmosphere was suppressed in the whole Nie family this week. Nie Zhenbang didn’t want to make it more serious. The deceased had passed away. People still have to look forward. Living in the past won’t bring the elder back, nor will it bring the Nie family’s glory. It’s not something to reminisce about, but to continue striving for it.
Being too depressed is not good for oneself. Therefore, Nie Zhenbang started to make jokes to lighten the mood.
His words made Nie Jialei a bit embarrassed, he laughed and scolded, “Go away, nothing good comes out of a dog’s mouth. I wonder how you became the mayor, you never act serious. I won’t talk to you anymore, the more I talk, the worse it gets.”
After Nie Jialei left, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Although Nie Jialei was not much older, his presence somehow felt restraint. Now with him gone, Liu Kun and the others returned to their true selves.
At this moment, Li Hua and Nie Jiamin were already arm in arm. Liu Kun smiled and said, “Third brother, although the elder’s gone, we still have to live. This time, we have found a good place for you. Tonight, the brothers will go have fun together.”
“Kun, it seems that your Farmer Welfare Company has made a lot of money. You should give something back to the people of New Li City. If I find out you’ve become a profiteer…” Nie Zhenbang then began to laugh.
Before Nie Zhenbang could finish his sentence, Liu Kun immediately put on a pitiful face, “Third brother, you’re wronging me. I wouldn’t dare mess with your Dragon Rise Land. New Li City is my second hometown, those old folks there are my uncles.”
Having said that, Liu Kun paused for a moment, then lightly slapped himself on the mouth: “Damn, why do I feel like there’s something awkward about that sentence.”
Then, Liu Kun looked at Nie Zhenbang and said, “Third brother, in short, I care about those commoners even more than my own father. Conscience of heaven and earth, even Xinglong knows about tree planting and environmental protection. I should have a higher awareness than him, right?”
As soon as these words fell, Zhao Xinglong, who was next to him, was not happy. He angrily said, “Kun! What are you talking about? Your crappy company doesn’t even invest a billion in environmental protection a year. Do you think you’re qualified to compare with me? Just the reservoir I invested in is enough to keep you catching up with me for several years.”
Seeing this, Nie Zhenbang felt relieved. In his memory of his previous life, these men of the second generation elite were all after the economy and money. They didn’t care about environmental protection or the livelihood of the people. Now, without mentioning the whole country, at least, the people around him have been subtly influenced, which is a good thing. Nie Zhenbang believed that a spark can start a prairie fire, and one day, the whole country will be covered with green mountains and rivers.
“Listen, brothers, we are not going to just hang around here, are we? Kun, you said you found the place, you should lead the way.” Nie Jiamin, standing by the side, shouted discontentedly.
A group of people, a grand procession, two cars, one was Zhao Xinglong’s civilian Hummer, and the other was Liu Kun’s Mercedes-Benz G550. Both of them were pure off-road vehicles.
They all had military license plates. Certificates of all kinds under the front windshield embodied their identity and background everywhere. The cars drove straight onto the airport expressway, this time, they didn’t enter the city. Instead, they turned onto the suburban road in Jingcheng and drove towards the countryside.
About twenty minutes’ drive later, the houses in front became gradually sparse. On the side of the highway, a massive group of buildings came into Nie Zhenbang’s sight.
Seeing this, Nie Zhenbang was also surprised, he didn’t expect that someone had already operated such a manor-style club in Jingcheng.
The car drove straight inside and parked in front of a villa. As soon as he got out of the car, Liu Kun was showing off, “Third brother, how do you like this place? Is it classy enough?”
The entire manor covered at least four thousand acres. The terrain here, with the backing of mountains and rivers, was built to fit in with nature. At the center of the manor, a delicate lawn stretched upward, in the distance, a large European-style castle stood.
Inside the manor, there were various fountains, artificial hills, and statues, showcasing a medieval European style. At the side, Zhao Xinglong introduced to Nie Zhenbang and Nie Jiamin, “Second brother, third brother, this place is designed as a private club. Only the central castle opens to the public on weekdays. The most distinctive feature here is the authentic French meal. The caviar is specially airlifted from the west coast. All kinds of food ingredients are purchased from their places of origin to maintain the original flavor. If you are interested, third brother, you can also book a wine cellar here. The red wine here has business dealings with vineyards in Bordeaux.”
Hearing Zhao Xinglong’s introduction, Nie Zhenbang was taken aback. This kind of method, this kind of cost-no-object operating style was more luxurious than the Dynasty Club. It served only clients who are truly refined, nowhere near the ordinary people. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang became somewhat curious about the owner of this manor.
Next to him, Li Hua also laughed and said, “Third Brother, quite curious, aren’t you? Well, the owner of this place is also an acquaintance of yours. Do you remember the young master of the Yun family from that auction last time? He’s the boss here.”
The young master of the Yun family? Nie Zhenbang seemed to remember. Back in the day, at the charity auction organized by Ye Hui, he was struck by the young master’s nonchalant demeanor.
Before, Yun was the Vice-Chairman of the State, and now he is the second-ranked leader of the country and the Premier of the State Council. With the Yun family’s extensive connections and influence at home and abroad, only the Young Master Yun could manage something like this.
A large group walked directly towards the central castle. At this moment, an open-top golf cart arrived.
The driver was wearing a dark European-style servant’s suit. The cart stopped steadily on the side. The driver got out, made a gesture of invitation, and politely said, “Honourable guests, please get in.”
From the entrance of the manor to the central castle, the distance is about two kilometers. At this moment, this sightseeing cart was the most suitable means of transport. The cart slowly drove through the manor and arrived at the entrance of the castle.
At this moment, several welcomers standing at the door waved them over. They bent down in a uniform motion and shouted in unison, “Welcome.”
Upon entering the castle, a luxurious crystal chandelier hung vertically from the dome. The Swarovski crystal chandelier was expensive. Everything here is luxurious. In layman’s terms, they only choose what’s expensive, not what’s suitable.
In the hall, there were some scattered guests. Such a club is not something ordinary people can afford. In this place, even the average child from a prestigious family in Jingcheng could hardly afford to spend. To consume here, in addition to the need for personal status and wealth, you also need money. This is the true haven for burning money.
The hall was as warm as spring. Many beauties of various ethnicities were barely dressed, each carefully selected. At this moment, Liu Kun revealed a playful smile known only to men. He introduced, “Third Brother, the beauties from various countries here have all been carefully selected and professionally trained. Here, there’s nothing you can’t do if you can imagine it. Even, if you have enough capital, you can entirely have the whole castle’s staff cater to you, allowing you to experience the feeling of ancient European dukes and nobles.”
Nie Zhenbang smiled lightly. The women here were beautiful. Even a few beauties were not inferior to Li Lixue and Dong Wan. However, Nie Zhebang didn’t have much feeling for it. When it comes to relationships, Nie Zhenbang might have been influenced by his past life and has always been a perfectionist.
“Ha ha, who is this? Isn’t this the Nie family’s Third Young Master? What, just after the old man went to meet Marx, the third young master started running around? Tsk tsk, it’s really chilling. If the old man knew, he’d come up to see you.” An irritating voice suddenly sounded out.
There’s a phrase, ‘don’t slap someone in the face’ and ‘don’t reveal someone’s flaws’. This sentence managed to do both. Elder Nie had just passed away. At the very least, a few words of condolence were in order, or if there’s really nothing to say, silence would do. Such words seemed a bit too much.
Not only Nie Zhenbang, but Nie Jiamin also clenched his fists at this moment. The well-trained special soldiers of the Xibei Military Region were not something just anyone could handle.
Nie Zhenbang’s palm rested on Nie Jiamin’s shoulder, he lightly laughed and said, “Second brother, don’t be impulsive. Sometimes, if a dog bites you, would you bite it back? For such things, the best way is to kill them with one shot.”
“You…” On the side, a man with a red and green rooster crowned head, which looked like a rooster’s comb, had a change in expression as he walked over.
Seeing this person, Zhao Xinglong’s expression changed. The Nie brothers were invited by them. Such words not only left the Nie brothers embarrassed but also embarrassed them. Zhao Xinglong coldly said, “Who is this. Turns out, it’s Young Master Guo. How come your dad didn’t shoot you on the wall? Why would he allow such an uncouth man like you out?”
“Zhao Xinglong, what the hell are you saying? Don’t think just because your father is still in office you can act however you want. Your father is already past his prime. Your Zhao family isn’t what it used to be. Mind your words, certain people are not someone you can offend.” Rooster Head cried out in provocation.
Nie Zhenbang, Liu Kun whispered beside him, “Third Brother, this guy is called Guo Tao. He is the grandson of Chairman Guo from the CPPCC. The Guo family is close to the Li family. I am afraid they are not here for good intentions.”
Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang snorted coldly, and lightly said, “There are indeed some people who are not looking where they’re going. The Nie family, while Elder Nie is gone, that doesn’t mean any Tom, Dick or Harry can bully us. Since they want to play, let’s play big. It’s been ten years since I’ve played. Now, I’m afraid no one in Jingcheng remembers Nie Zhenbang. If that’s the case, let’s have a good game today.”
