Actor: Thank you.

"Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient road, the fragrant grass stretches to the horizon."

"A gentle breeze stirs the willows one night, the sound of a flute fades away, the setting sun shines beyond the mountains."

"At the ends of the earth, my close friends have mostly passed away."

"A ladle of wine exhausts the remaining joy, tonight's dreams are cold with parting..."

On the plane, Zhang Yuan and Wang Shi clapped along, dancing and singing excitedly, while Miss Tian sang along.

"Good, good, good..." As the song ended, Zhang Yuan cheered in agreement.

"Brother Zhang, is it the song that's good, or the singing?" Wang Shi asked with a grin.

"The song, the person, everything is great, everything is great!"

Hahaha……

Laughter filled the cabin.

The main thing is that Mr. Tian Pu was smiling happily.

After all, this was her first time flying on a private jet.

Wang Shi has flown quite a bit on private jets, especially those foreign propeller planes for two or four people, used for short-haul flights.

He's also ridden in a glider; airplanes are nothing new to him.

With his income and assets, buying one wouldn't be a problem.

He can afford to buy it, but no one will help him raise it.

Vanke doesn't belong to him alone.

Wang Shi's control over Vanke is far less than that of Wang Jianlin and Xu Pidao over their own companies.

Vanke won't help him maintain the plane, so naturally he won't buy it.

This is also why he and Ms. Tian were later completely exposed, as they were photographed on the plane.

"Great, private jets are definitely better than public jets."

"I didn't expect you to be so young and yet enjoy this kind of life," Wang Shi said, crossing his legs.

Mr. Wang has a desire for private jets, but he's not that envious.

But Miss Tian doesn't think that way!

This woman was able to make so much money that she was expelled from the Central Academy of Drama, which shows her yearning for wealth and the so-called "high society".

But in essence, she is a typical gold digger.

Their educational level, personal abilities, knowledge, and cognition are not very high.

They can't even compare to someone as ruthless as Wendi Deng.

But her advantage, which is also the advantage of many gold diggers, is that she is willing to humble herself and act subservient.

Many chauvinistic men are particularly susceptible to this, otherwise "socialite classes" wouldn't be so popular.

Huang Xiaoming's type is very attracted to this kind of woman. He'll fawn over her, cling to her, and occasionally act a little dramatic. He'll also frequently offer her help, guidance, and opportunities to save herself.

Gao Yuliang still believed that his relationship with Gao Xiaofeng was a pure and true love, and that she had great insights into the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, some men study the world, and some women study men.

In Zhang Yuan's eyes, Tian Pujun belongs to the 1.9 generation of gold diggers.

"Gold diggers" refers to women from the early days who purely used their looks to attract men.

The first generation of gold diggers included women like Michelle Reis and Wendi Deng.

They wear their ambition on their sleeves, openly declaring, "I want to marry a rich man, I want to make money, I want to get rich through men."

That's what I did, and that's what I said.

The 1.5 generation of gold diggers has evolved even further.

It's someone like Gambi, the wife of Joseph Lau.

Her ambition was written all over her face, but after successfully marrying a rich man, she still had to act like she was a strong woman.

To the outside world, I project an image of myself as very capable, not just a gold digger, but also someone who can support a man's career.

And Tian Pujun, who is a 1.9 generation, is even more impressive.

His ambition was written all over his face, but he thought he was hiding it well.

She clearly lacks ability, but she tries to present herself as a strong woman.

It's not about assisting men; it's about me being taller and more capable than men.

After all, she is known as "Tian Pujun, who doesn't rely on men," on par with "Jack Ma, who regrets founding Alibaba," "Wang Jianlin, who has nothing," and "Ma Huateng, who comes from an ordinary family."

She constantly promotes female independence and claims to be a career woman.

She even told the public that she had rejected Wang Shi's marriage proposals multiple times because she was too busy and didn't have time to get married... Anyone who believes this is doomed.

She is actually quite similar to Meghan, Harry's wife, who is universally disliked throughout the West.

If she's version 1.9, then who is version 2.0?

It's the Milk Tea Sister!

After all, Liu Qiangdong, who "doesn't know his wife is beautiful," is also a heavyweight.

But the Milk Tea Girl is on a much higher level than this one.

Not only has she cultivated a more successful image, but she also has a clean record and doesn't constantly seek attention in the media.

She looks a lot like Harry's older brother William's wife, Kate.

Kate's parents also raised her to be a socialite from a young age, with the goal of marrying into a wealthy family.

The truly most capable ones, those with higher status in the industry, are the ones who quietly amass wealth.

Miss Tian's problem is that she comes from a very humble background, which leads to a lack of understanding.

That's why he developed such an ugly tendency to worship foreign things and fawn over foreigners, which led him to write the article "It Takes Three Generations to Cultivate an Aristocrat".

It lavishly praises the British sense of ritual.

Her so-called aristocratic spirit was that when she went to the manor for a meal, the butler would hand her a small piece of paper with the WIFI password written on it on a tray.

She felt this was too aristocratic and too ceremonial.

She probably doesn't know that foreigners eating with knives and forks was seen by our ancestors as a symbol of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

A wise man keeps away from the kitchen, and he is not too particular about the finest food or the most delicate preparation. But to cut food with a knife and fork after it's served is something only nomadic people or barbarians would do.

Some people don't actually admire civilization or elegance; they just want to use it as an excuse to get special treatment and feel superior.

Such people are actually very empty and insignificant inside.

They need external stimulation to gain a sense of satisfaction.

These "weaknesses" of hers are exactly what Zhang Yuan needs right now.

Once on the plane, this person's phone and camera were constantly in use.

They kept striking various poses.

Sitting, lying down, standing, supporting oneself.

They even wanted to take close-up photos of the toilet seat.

I wonder how many articles and reports I'll get when I get back.

It's likely that flying in a private jet is also a "noble" experience in her eyes.

"The flight attendant had a very professional smile and immediately handed me a blanket as soon as I boarded the plane."

"It's not the coarse linen kind used in commercial airlines, but a wool blanket, soft and gentle."

"And he poured me a glass of champagne."

"This champagne wasn't taken out of the refrigerator; it was chilled in advance in a stainless steel bucket filled with ice."

"Only in this way can you experience the highest level of taste..." That's probably what she would write.

Zhang Yuan had also given advance notice, letting the flight attendants know about him.

After boarding the plane, she took the initiative to ask to take a photo with the other person, making it seem as if she recognized the other person as a movie star.

This greatly satisfied Miss Tian's vanity.

He used to ignore Zhang Yuan, but now he's being so enthusiastic it's like he's about to bite him...

"New Zealand buttered toast with Norwegian smoked salmon and Russian sturgeon caviar." The flight attendant served a meal.

These are all things that Zhang Yuan doesn't usually like to eat.

But he had a flight attendant on board today.

Not only did he serve the food, he also required the other party to announce their "full name" when serving it.

The more complex, the better.

When I bring it to him, I usually say it's bread and caviar.

Now we need to state the place of origin, because that will make women like Tian Pujun feel it's "high-class".

After all, many "high-end" Western restaurants do this.

"Wow." After taking a bite, Miss Tian shook her head and said, "Imported ingredients are indeed different."

That's... Zhang Yuan thought, I'll get you some Wang Zhihe cheese to spread on your bread, it's Italian blue cheese, and you said it was delicious.

The flight attendant watched from the sidelines, with only one question in her mind.

Who is this person?

The boss said he would treat her like royalty and even call her a "big star".

But I don't recognize it either?
Zhang Yuan had met this flight attendant two or three times, so they were quite familiar with each other.

My older sister thought, "I know Zhang Yuan is a big star, but he always just goes to sleep and doesn't even bother to say a word when he comes up here."

Why is this "big star" jumping around like a monkey?

Is that old man next to her the rich guy she hooked up with?

Hmph, she's not even as good-looking as me.

If she can do it, then I can hook up with rich guys too...

In the eyes of flight attendants, someone like Miss Tian is quite low-class.

But there are even lower levels.

"Ah, private jets are so great," Miss Tian exclaimed as she sat back down in her chair after finishing her fuss.

"Unlike commercial airlines, it's inconvenient and the food is bad."

"You can also smell the stench on those poor people."

Some people can no longer stand the smell of working people.

"Mr. Wang and I have been quite busy lately, with meetings all over the place."

"What a pity, from now on I'll have to take commercial flights."

As he spoke, Tian Pujun glanced at Zhang Yuan a few times with a smile.

Hey!
You're not satisfied with just taking advantage, are you?

What she meant was, "Can't you lend it to me again?"

I'll also invite some of my girlfriends and best friends to show off and impress them.

Do you really think I'm some kind of stubborn fool who can't bring himself to admit defeat?

I still feel that I have to pamper you without limit.

Zhang Yuan didn't respond, completely ignoring her tone.

They also sighed.

"Yes, it's almost the end of the year, everyone's busy."

"I also have a bunch of engagements to do; many brands have been urging me to get back to work lately."

"I also want to use the airplane for convenience."

"such a pity……"

Miss Tian's smile remained, only her eyes had cooled slightly. Stingy… that's what she thought to herself.

Who knows what kind of whispers they'll use to influence her when she gets back.

This kind of woman is dangerous because she depends on men and tries to achieve inner balance by bullying others.

They tend to be harsh in life, especially towards "lower-class people".

The so-called "lower class" refers to anyone who dares not offend her or her man.

Zhang Yuan was on guard, so he didn't finish his sentence.

"What a pity, I won't need it anymore."

"It has to be returned."

"Ah, this plane isn't yours?" Tian Pujun immediately realized.

“I only have the right to use it,” Zhang Yuan replied with a smile, gesturing with his hands as he said, “There’s a story behind it.”

"I joked with someone and made a bet that the other person would give me this plane for a year."

"Oh……"

"Oh!"

Although they both responded to him with nasal tones.

Ms. Tian just felt that since the plane wasn't originally hers, why was she acting so arrogant?

But Wang Shi became interested.

Having an airplane and using this thing to make a bet... that person is definitely not an ordinary one!
The leaders of such a large company must have exceptional minds.

He wasn't very interested when Tian Pujun was gesturing wildly.

He just felt that if the girl was happy, he was happy too.

Now he sat up straight.

"Who is this person who made the bet with you?"

“Richard Branson,” Zhang Yuan replied, “is the owner of Virgin Group.”

"Virgin Atlantic is also his."

“Oh, I’ve flown on their flights before,” Mr. Wang replied.

Virgin started as a low-cost carrier, but has abandoned low-end flights after reforms in recent years.

The owners of airlines are the ones who have the least shortage of airplanes.

Wang Shi thought this made sense.

Otherwise, no matter how rich an ordinary person is, they can't just send them a plane.

They inquired in detail about the course of events.

I briefly recounted what had happened before.

"I didn't expect you to be so interested in the sports industry at such a young age."

“I’ve always been interested in sports, so I especially love what you mentioned about mountain climbing.”

"Yes, yes, mountain climbing, you want to go to Kilimanjaro, right?"

Then he started talking non-stop again.

Tian Pujun didn't know who Richard Branson was, but she knew that Wang Shi valued him highly and had heard of him, so he must be no ordinary person.

Moreover, Vanke also has real estate projects in Australia, so it's always good to expand one's network.

But Zhang Yuan thought that Richard Branson was crazy, and knowing him might not be a good thing.

The old man was indeed talkative; he kept talking nonstop once he started "teaching."

Zhang Yuan nodded and listened the whole way until the flight attendant reminded him to fasten his seatbelt as they were preparing for landing, at which point he stopped talking.

"Look, we hit it off so well that I forgot to bring up the important matter." Only now did Zhang Yuan finally speak.

"Director Zheng Xiaolong mentioned that movie to me."

"Thank you for your kind words, Ms. Tian."

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Wang."

"Director Zheng told me, 'If you want sponsorship, you have to spend money.'"

“I disagree.” Zhang Yuan crossed his arms. “I want to be your friend.”

"If I make you spend money, is that still making friends?"

"You don't need to worry about it or take any risks."

"Ms. Tian can come directly to the film set!"

Zhang Yuan made a magnanimous guarantee.

Wang Shi put his finger to his lips and watched silently.

"However, the female lead for this play has already been cast."

"Here's what I'll do: I'll give Miss Tian a script outline."

"I'll come pick you up after you've finished watching," Zhang Yuan said, pointing to the plane.

"Let's discuss with Director Zheng again and find a role that suits your elegant temperament."

Upon hearing the words "luxurious and elegant" and the mention of flying, Tian Pujun felt somewhat better.

But I'm not completely comfortable yet.

Judging from her expression, Zhang Yuan knew she would definitely bring a bunch of friends on the plane.

"What do you think?" Wang Shi asked, glancing sideways at his woman after hearing the question.

Actually, this is just going through the motions.

The moment they agreed to fly on his plane, the matter was already negotiable.

Wang Shi wasn't after his plane ride; he just thought Zhang Yuan had connections and a pleasant manner.

This was indeed beyond his expectations.

And there's no harm in making friends with someone like that.

There's no point in fighting Zheng Xiaolong to the death; it's better to take this opportunity to back down as well.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even accept money if they threw it at me, and I'd lose face if word got out.

He was even scolded by this woman.

Tian Pujun's source of strength is men, so naturally he has to constantly try to understand what men mean.

So the problem is her, but the key to solving the problem has never been her.

Wang Shi's opening statement was a question, but she also understood the meaning behind it.

“I will listen to Director Zheng; he is the most professional.”

"Okay, cheers." The three raised their champagne glasses and clinked them together. The champagne was "not chilled in the refrigerator, but in a stainless steel bucket full of ice."

Zhang Yuanguang's trip alone will cost him hundreds of thousands in fuel.

So just making friends with him would be a bit of a loss for me.

Taking advantage of the last bit of time, I told Lao Wang that I was interested in investing in real estate and asked if he had any recommendations for properties.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shi thought it was a perfect opportunity that everyone wanted to work out.

They'll definitely buy from Vanke!

Let him attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the latest Vanke residential project.

The reward is a significant discount.

It's common practice for real estate developers to trade properties for celebrity endorsements.

Vanke develops mid-range residential properties, which has the advantage of good community amenities and property management, and decent rental income.

It just so happens that Zhang Yuan doesn't have any investments in Shenzhen, so this is a perfect fit.

In 09, news broke that villas on the top of Yantian Mountain in Shenzhen were priced at an average of 13 yuan per square meter, which shocked many people.

At that time, the housing prices in Nanshan District, where Penguin is located, were less than 2 yuan per square meter.

Zhang Yuan decisively abandoned the villa and chose a residential building in Nanshan District that would be suitable for high-level workers to rent or take over in the future.

He landed together, and they arranged to go see the house the next day, sign the contract, and also coordinate the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

She also called Cheng Hao and Shu Chang, telling them that if they had spare money, they could buy two sets while she could still get a discount.

He also called Zheng Xiaolong.

"Buy a house?" Director Zheng replied in surprise.

"I'm not going to live in Shenzhen anyway, so forget it."

The old capital city doesn't really look down on "outsiders".

Moreover, Zheng Xiaolong did invest; he bought property overseas in the 90s.

"Alright then, you can decide for yourself."

"The deal is done, just give me a supporting role."

"Keep her in check, don't give her too many scenes."

"Have you really reached an agreement?"

"of course."

Zheng Xiaolong put down the phone.

He went to the bedroom and found his wife, Wang Xiaoping.

"Let's find a minor role for that woman."

"Is it settled?" Teacher Wang was still revising the details of the script.

"That's a deal."

"You didn't encounter any difficulties, did you?"

"I don't know, but they seem pretty happy." Director Zheng thought to himself, "They're going to buy a house, so of course they're happy."

After having a meal, Zhang Yuan didn't mention any serious business; he just wanted to go to Shenzhen with them again.

Zheng Xiaolong was quite anxious.

You wouldn't open the hatch halfway through, and if they don't like it, just kick them out...

It's uncertain what others might be capable of, and it's also hard to say what Zhang Yuan might accomplish.

But now, they're clearly having a good chat.

"They even said there would be a discount on buying a house, and they wanted me to go too."

"The fact that he still thinks of you about this shows that he's a really good kid," Wang Xiaoping said.

“Yes.” Zheng Xiaolong also sat down and pondered.

He'll pay for it.

"He calms things down when something happens."

"When there are benefits, they also think of the people around them."

"Otherwise, why would he be surrounded by a group of people?"

"I think he's very ambitious."

“We’ll just focus on his work; his ambitions are none of our business,” Wang Xiaoping said, showing none of her husband’s concerns.

"I'm worried he might be planning to do something with the work, otherwise why would he invest so much..."

Director Zheng Xiaolong analyzed the situation on his own.

Zhang Yuan then received a call from another renowned director and his partner.

Zhang Weiping called him for the nth time.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the calendar on his phone; it was time to surprise the other person… (End of Chapter)
