Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 414 I Don’t Have a Job
Chapter 414: Chapter 414 I Don’t Have a Job
"How could he possibly afford an Exclusive Ticket? His family can barely get by in that crummy little place in Jiangcheng—where did he get the money to buy such an expensive ticket?" Wang Shihao’s brow was deeply furrowed, as if he had encountered some unsolvable mystery of the world.
"The guy’s made it big in the past two years, what, you think only you are allowed to do better than him and not the other way around?" A voice of dissent came from behind.
Chen Fan had just flashed his Exclusive Ticket, attracting quite a lot of attention, and many saw the conflict between Chen Fan and Wang Shihao.
Wang Shihao turned to glance back and cursed, "What the fuck does it have to do with you guys? Who yelled just now? Have the guts to stand up for me!"
A giant muscle-bound brute in a black tank top stood up, towering over Wang Shihao who only came up to the brute’s chest.
The hulking man looked down at Wang Shihao, flexing his muscles, and said coldly, "I yelled, what are you going to do about it?"
Wang Shihao’s expression stiffened, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a smile, speaking politely, "Big brother, I think what you said is absolutely right..."
The big man then didn’t pursue the matter with Wang Shihao any further and went back to his place in the line.
Fearing that the big man might trouble him again, Wang Shihao quickly pulled Xu Ting towards the ticket verification point, and after their tickets were checked, they hurried towards the waiting area.
"That damn Chen Fan, I only bought a platinum ticket, and he can afford an Exclusive Ticket!" Wang Shihao muttered with a low voice, overwhelmed with a sense of impotent rage.
At this point, Xu Ting beside him said, "Actually, it’s not necessarily the case that he bought the ticket himself."
Wang Shihao turned to look at her, "What do you mean?"
Xu Ting spoke with a sour tone, "Didn’t you notice that the vixen by his side has quite an extraordinary aura? That’s the kind of demeanor only a daughter of a major family can have. Maybe the vixen bought the ticket."
Actually, I think she has a quite noble quality to her, not lewd at all, to call her a vixen is a bit of a stretch... Wang Shihao thought to himself, then said, "There is indeed a big possibility of that, but Chen Fan is just a nobody, what makes him worthy of such attention from that kind of lady? And to be so obedient to her? It just pisses me off looking at them!"
Xu Ting suddenly became a bit shy and said, "Even if that guy is a nobody, he must have something special going on for a girl to fall for him, and as a woman, if a beauty can’t leave a nobody, there’s only one reason..."
Wang Shihao asked cluelessly, "What reason?"
Xu Ting leaned in and whispered something to Wang Shihao’s ear.
Wang Shihao’s eyes widened, "That works?"
Xu Ting said, "Of course, didn’t you know that a woman’s needs tend to grow bigger after the first time? If Chen Fan’s pretty good, it’s not impossible for him to be chosen by that kind of lady."
Wang Shihao suddenly smirked and said, "Ting, you’re with me for that reason too, aren’t you?"
"Hehe..." Ting let out an awkward laugh, "I... I’m not that kind of woman..."
Wang Shihao frowned, "What, you think I’m no good?"
You’re no good, my ass. I’m with you just because you’re willing to spend money on me, Xu Ting retorted inwardly, quickly changing the subject, "Nah, let’s not talk about this, so, that means Chen Fan might not actually have any money."
Wang Shihao’s attention shifted back to Chen Fan, his anger flaring up, "Hmph, I knew that loser couldn’t have suddenly made it big. He’s just a parasitic freeloader, that’s all."
"Even if he latched onto a rich woman, so what? I’ve got friends within the management circle in Qingyang Town, when we get there, I’ll make sure to teach both of them a lesson!"
...
Inside the first-class carriage.
Upon entering, Chen Fan and Su Qingyan were greeted by a refreshing cool breeze.
The interior of this carriage was luxurious, not arranged with rows of seats like a regular train, but rather like a mini-bar, complete with a bartender, pastry chef, sofas, and exquisite chairs.
The space inside the entire carriage was very spacious and was equipped with various entertainment facilities. However, only a sparse seven or eight passengers were scattered throughout the long carriage, the rest being staff dressed in bunny girl outfits.
As Chen Fan and Su Qingyan walked into the carriage, those seven or eight people twisted their heads to look at them.
But everyone just glanced briefly before withdrawing their gaze, except for a tall man in a white suit wearing sunglasses and sporting a slicked-back hairstyle.
After setting his eyes on Su Qingyan, the man seemed unable to look away.
"The treatment that comes with an Exclusive Ticket is indeed extraordinary. This is my first time seeing such a train," Chen Fan said with a hint of wonder on his face.
Although he was now considered an immeasurably wealthy businessman, this wealth was merely an incidental gain after he embarked on his path of cultivation; therefore, he had never truly experienced the extravagant life of the rich.
So upon seeing the train carriage that greatly differed from his perception, he couldn’t help but feel astonished.
Having seen more of the world than Chen Fan, Su Qingyan was not as surprised. "Let’s get something to drink and then find a place to sit down," she suggested.
The two fetched two glasses of wine from the bar and then took a seat at a coffee table by the window.
The man in the white suit, who had been eyeing Su Qingyan, noticed Chen Fan’s novice air and instantly had numerous thoughts racing through his mind.
After a moment of thought, he walked directly towards Chen Fan and Su Qingyan.
Without any airs of politeness, he sat right at the coffee table where Chen Fan and Su Qingyan were.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Kun, and I’m the owner of a chain gym company. Our franchises have spread throughout the country, and I’ve had some success. My net worth has reached five hundred million. Since we’re all on this train together, it’s fate. Why not get to know each other?"
Chen Fan and Su Qingyan exchanged glances, finding the uninvited visitor somewhat baffling, so they simply nodded to him in acknowledgment.
Seeing that neither of them was very keen to engage, Liu Kun, undeterred and smiling, asked, "May I know what you both do for a living? Being able to afford a ticket here certainly means you’re no ordinary people. Why not make a connection? It could come in handy someday."
Chen Fan replied with a smile, "My wife is the president of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, although I’m sure you’ve never heard of it."
He deliberately called Su Qingyan ’my wife’ as a response to the way she was addressed before.
Su Qingyan chuckled, clearly pleased.
Liu Kun’s attention wasn’t on Qingfan Pharmaceuticals. He asked, "Are you two married?"
Chen Fan replied, "Not exactly, we’re still in the dating stage; it’s just a term of endearment."
Liu Kun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze landing on Chen Fan as he smiled and asked, "The beautiful lady is the president of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals; for you to be her boyfriend, you must be someone special too. May I ask what you do, brother?"
Chen Fan simply smiled faintly and answered, "I’m unemployed."
