Chapter 78: Kings meet, yet equals prevail!
Xiao Shen? !
Xiao Shen!
If there were other people present, they would probably be terrified by Shen Jingnian's title.
In China, and even internationally, everyone respectfully addresses him as Ninth Master.
But now.
He actually made Grandpa Jiang call him Little Shen.
Grandpa Jiang looked at Shen Jingnian with eyes full of admiration.
This young man doesn't look like an ordinary person.
He was humble and polite, quite unlike those wealthy people who looked down on others.
And she's good-looking too!
He likes this young man!
"Okay, Xiao Shen, please sit down. I'll make you some tea."
“Grandpa Jiang, there’s no need to trouble yourself,” Shen Jingnian stopped Grandpa Jiang from making tea. “I have something to do and need to go back to the company immediately.”
"Shall we go back now?"
"Yes." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
"Then I'll call Ningning and tell her."
“No need,” Shen Jingnian explained, “I ran into Ningning on my way here.”
"Well."
Since Shen Jingnian had other things to attend to, Grandpa Jiang didn't ask him to stay for tea any longer. He personally saw Shen Jingnian to the door and said with a smile, "Little Shen, come visit us often in the future!"
Uncle Ma was standing in front of the car door.
He was completely taken aback when he heard the nickname "Xiao Shen".
Who is this old man?
How dare you call Shen Jingnian that?
Could it be Miss Jiang's grandfather?
The next second, Shen Jingnian's answer confirmed Uncle Ma's suspicions.
Shen Jingnian smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa Jiang, you and Ningning are welcome to come to our house anytime."
"Ok."
Grandpa Jiang smiled and helped Shen Jingnian into the car, waving to him with a smile, "Little Shen, drive carefully and be safe."
Shen Jingnian sat upright in the car and waved goodbye to Grandpa Jiang.
Only after the car left the residential area did Shen Jingnian take out his phone, log into the game "Splendid Peak," and continue solving the puzzle he had just finished.
the other side.
Jiang Ning arrived at Wutong Square and successfully met up with Yue Qianlan.
Yue Qianlan had already bought the milk tea and popcorn. When she saw Jiang Ning coming over, she smiled and waved to her, "Ningning, over here!"
Jiang Ning jogged over and said, "Sorry, March, I ran into a little trouble on the way and I'm late."
Upon hearing that Jiang Ning was in trouble, Yue Qianlan asked anxiously, "Ningning, are you alright? Do you need my help?"
“No need, it’s already been resolved,” Jiang Ning said.
"That's good." Yue Qianlan handed the milk tea to Jiang Ning. "Ningning, this is your favorite full-sugar gardenia taro balls."
"Thank you, March~"
Jiang Ning took the milk tea, took a big gulp, and her face was full of satisfaction.
There's nothing more blissful than sipping an iced, fully sweet milk tea on a sweltering summer day.
Yue Qianlan took Jiang Ning's arm and said, "Ningning, the movie will start in ten minutes. Let's go in."
“Okay.” Jiang Ning followed Yue Qianlan’s footsteps.
Yue Qianlan then asked, "By the way, Ningning, what level have you reached in your 'Summit of Splendor' game?"
“It seems to be level 15,” Jiang Ning replied.
She didn't pass many challenges.
I prefer to stay at Qiyu Mountain Villa most of the time.
Play chess, plant flowers, and tease the birds.
Yue Qianlan laughed and said, "I'm already level 20! I didn't believe that Jidong could complete a AAA game before, but now, wow! It's really amazing! I wonder what Ms. Jiang, the developer of Jinxiu Zhidian, looks like. I really want to meet her. She must be someone extraordinary to be able to make such a great game."
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly. "You mean Miss Jiang?"
“Yes.” Yue Qianlan nodded slightly. “Yes, I admire her so much.”
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's far away, yet right before my eyes."
Yue Qianlan was stunned for a moment before she reacted and burst into laughter, "Ningning, why are you still joking?"
Miss Jiang is a gaming expert.
Online sources say that the mysterious Ms. Jiang is a top student from a prestigious foreign university and is already in her late 30s, almost 40.
Jiang Ning is only 19 years old.
As she laughed, Yue Qianlan seemed to realize something. "Don't say that, Ningning, it's quite a coincidence. Your surname is Jiang, and the developer of Jinxiu Zhidian, Miss Jiang, also has the surname Jiang."
Jiang Ning smiled without saying a word.
After watching the movie.
It was still early, so Jiang Ning wanted to visit the sales office of Wancheng Villas.
She had said long ago that she would buy a big villa for Grandpa Jiang.
Of course I can't go back on my word.
The listing of Jinxiu Zhidian was a great success, and Jiang Ning is not short of money now. Moreover, school is about to start, and it will be more convenient to move to the villa in Wancheng.
Yue Qianlan turned to look at Jiang Ning, "Ningning, are you going to buy a house?"
"Yes."
Yue Qianlan smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Wancheng Villa is one of the projects my dad developed. I'll have him give you one! Perfect timing, he was just wondering what to give you!"
The Yue family is involved in a little bit of everything.
Real estate is just one of many projects.
“No, no,” Jiang Ning quickly refused. “In March, for no reason at all, how can I accept a house from my uncle? I can buy one myself.”
"What do you mean by 'for no reason'? Ningning, you're my great benefactor! It's just a house, nothing special. Anyway, my dad does this kind of business. Come on, let's go take a look. Wancheng Villas also has those boutique villas that you can move into right away."
Yue Qianlan genuinely didn't take this matter to heart.
“In March, you already gave my grandfather and me a lot of things. If you give us more, I won’t buy a villa in Wancheng.”
Jiang Ning had a stern face.
The price of villas in Wancheng is over 50,000 yuan per square meter, and the cheapest one costs more than 30 million yuan!
She naturally couldn't accept such an expensive gift from Yue Qianlan.
Yue Qianlan truly considers Jiang Ning her best friend. She likes to give gifts to her good friends. If it were her old friends, they would definitely be overjoyed to hear that she was going to give them a villa.
But Jiang Ning refused outright.
It seems.
This is the difference between people.
"Alright, alright, Ningning, since you don't want it, how about I give you a discount? If you can't even accept a discount, then what kind of friends are we?" Yue Qianlan said with a stern face.
“Okay,” Jiang Ning didn’t refuse this time, and took Yue Qianlan’s hand, “Let’s go take a look first.”
Yue Qianlan is the daughter of a real estate developer.
Therefore, the two received the highest level of treatment as soon as they entered the sales office.
The manager personally received Jiang Ning and Yue Qianlan.
Yue Qianlan said, "Ningning is my best sister. Manager Wang, please take us to see the best-decorated and best-designed detached villa."
In addition to detached villas, Wancheng Villas also offers semi-detached villas.
A semi-detached villa is naturally not as good as a detached villa.
Wancheng Villas is not only very close to No. 1 Middle School, but also has an excellent green environment, making it very suitable for the elderly to live in.
Soon, Jiang Ning set her sights on a villa with luxurious European-style decor.
"How much is this one?" Jiang Ning asked.
Manager Wang quickly said, "This villa is 880 square meters with 8 rooms. It's fully furnished with smart home appliances, all from high-end brands. The original price was 5000 million, but since you're Miss's best friend, I'll give you a compromise price of 1800 million for good luck."
"1800 million?" Jiang Ning looked at Yue Qianlan. "In March, won't you lose money by offering such a low price?"
"We're not losing money at all, not even a little bit. Ningning, you know how profitable the real estate industry is! This is the price we usually sell to relatives and friends. Manager Wang, don't you agree?"
Manager Wang quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, Miss Jiang, what our lady said is correct. This is our normal internal price."
“Alright then,” Jiang Ning said, quite satisfied with the villa. “Pay by card.”
"Do you need a loan?" Manager Wang asked.
While 1800 million is a relatively cheap sum, it is still a huge amount of money for most middle-class families.
“No need,” Jiang Ning replied.
This surprised Manager Wang somewhat.
Seeing that Jiang Ning was dressed simply and didn't have any designer clothes, he thought Jiang Ning was just an ordinary friend of Yue Qianlan.
did not expect.
Jiang Ning was actually able to pay the full amount of 1800 million.
really.
You can't judge a person by their clothes.
"Miss Jiang, please come this way."
After the payment was successfully completed and a large number of contracts were signed, Manager Wang continued, "Ms. Jiang, the property certificate should be issued in about a week. Here are the keys to the villa; you can move in anytime. I will have someone deliver the property certificate to you once it is issued."
"Okay, thank you." Jiang Ning took the keys.
Yue Qianlan smiled and said, "Congratulations Ningning on getting a luxury house! When are you moving in? I'll come and help you warm up your new home."
Jiang Ning opened her phone, looked at the calendar, and said, "Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow looks pretty good."
"Okay, then I'll come to your house the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll prepare lots of your favorite dishes then!"
Yue Qianlan continued, "That little courtyard is quite nice; we can even have an outdoor barbecue there."
“Sure.” Jiang Ning nodded slightly, then said, “March, I also want to thank you for saving me tens of millions! What would you like to eat tonight? It’s on me.”
"Let's go eat at Xiao Hua Restaurant, I haven't eaten there in ages."
Xiao Hua Restaurant is a roadside eatery with no customers.
Although it's not a high-end restaurant, the food is surprisingly good.
Although Yue Qianlan was raised in a wealthy family, she was not pretentious at all and enjoyed trying all kinds of delicious food.
Coincidentally, Jiang Ning also loves food and is willing to try new things. Whether it's a six-star Michelin restaurant or a roadside hole-in-the-wall eatery, Jiang Ning can eat happily. In Jiang Ning's eyes, food has never been ranked.
It's only 5:30 in the afternoon.
There was a long queue outside Xiaohua Restaurant.
Because of the low prices, most of the people queuing up to eat here are nearby residents, taxi drivers, and migrant workers from the surrounding area.
It was still early, so Jiang Ning and Yue Qianlan weren't in a hurry. They chatted while waiting in line.
Two girls of similar age smiled brightly in the crowd, radiating youthful energy, attracting frequent glances from passersby.
He Suosuo and her classmate Lin Wanyi passed by the roadside and saw Jiang Ning queuing in the crowd.
He Suosuo snorted coldly, "Look at that poor country girl!"
Someone like Jiang Ning probably won't be able to afford to go to a high-end restaurant in her entire life, right?
And she!
She had just dined at a high-end restaurant where the average cost per person was in the hundreds, and enjoyed top-notch service. From now on, she would be a member of high society, while Jiang Ning would forever remain a lower-class person.
Lin Wanyi asked curiously, "Do you know anyone in the line ahead of you?"
"No, how could I possibly know such lowly people?" He Suosuo quickly denied.
Lin Wanyi's family is also in business, and their financial situation is much better than He's. He Suosuo can't let Lin Wanyi get to know a country girl like Jiang Ning.
This will only lower her status.
Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "It's good that you don't know them. I thought you knew that kind of person!"
He Suosuo took Lin Wanyi's arm and said, "Let's go, Wanyi. Standing in this poor place for too long is bad for our family's fortune."
Lin Wanyi nodded. "Suo Suo, you're right. Let's walk faster."
The two moved so fast that it was as if this were some kind of poor and desolate place.
After waiting in line for thirty minutes, Jiang Ning and Yue Qianlan finally got their turn at the small table.
Jiang Ning wasn't a picky eater, so the task of ordering food was left to Yue Qianlan.
Jiang Ning took out her phone during a break and logged into the Splendid Summit. Almost as soon as she logged in, she received a new system message notification:
【Hello Ms. Phyllis, welcome back. Your latest Go endgame [Broken Wind] has been solved by S. Please be aware!】
Jiang Ning was taken aback.
It's been cracked again!
so smart?
Who exactly is TA?
He was able to solve his own endgame puzzles time and time again.
All her endgame puzzles are self-created; you can't find any guides online.
and.
S not only solved her endgame, but also left her with a new endgame to solve.
It was an extremely difficult endgame, even more difficult than the endgames she had set up before, and of a very high standard.
He's clearly a professional Go player.
Looking at the unfinished game on the chessboard, Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly. This time, he had truly met his match.
interesting!
