Chapter 343: Chapter 342 The Great Young Master of the Family?

"Oh, does Sister Zi Yan also hoard land?" Lin Tian said in surprise.

If the Bai Family or Xiao Family hoarded land, Lin Tian wouldn’t find it strange. With their capabilities, it wouldn’t be difficult at all. But when Zi Yan also claimed she had land, he found it hard to believe, much like how Zi Yan had disbelieved that he had the funds to start a bodyguard company earlier.

"Hehe, let’s not eat anymore. I’ll take you both to see it. Seeing is believing, and I guarantee you’ll like it." Zi Yan promptly put down her chopsticks and was ready to leave on the spot.

Anyway, they had almost finished eating, so Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan naturally wouldn’t refuse. After ringing the bell, a beautiful waitress wearing a short cheongsam walked in.

"Beauty, check, please," Lin Tian turned his head and said to the waitress.

"Mr. Lin, Manager Mo has instructed that this meal is on her," the beautiful waitress said respectfully.

Instead of saying it was free, Manager Mo had framed it as her treat, and Lin Tian had to admire her adeptness in social etiquette. This way, it wouldn’t be considered misusing the restaurant’s funds for personal entertainment, and she could curry favor with Xiao Manxuan and give plenty of face to Lin Tian.

Nonetheless, Lin Tian still handed his bank card to the waitress, with a tip included, and said with a smile, "Please go and pay with this. The PIN is written on the card."

"Second Miss, this..." The waitress hesitated, looking at Xiao Manxuan for her opinion.

"Just do as he says," Xiao Manxuan nodded, so the waitress went to pay with the card.

After the waitress left, Xiao Manxuan teased, "Lin Tian, you write your PIN on your bank card, aren’t you afraid of someone using it to go on a shopping spree?"

"I have several cards with me, too lazy to remember the PINs," Lin Tian said nonchalantly.

"Pfft..." Xiao Manxuan burst out laughing and teased, "Hehe, you look like a nouveau riche right now."

"How could a nouveau riche compare with me? Have you ever seen one as handsome as me?" Lin Tian smoothed his hair, saying very narcissistically.

The women witnessed his thick-skinnedness once again, seeing his earnest and self-loving manner, they both giggled.

Lin Tian wasn’t annoyed. He laughed along with them, taking the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of their laughter. But this beautiful scene was interrupted by the returning waitress, causing him to lament that efficiency isn’t always a good thing.

After leaving the exclusive ’Heavenly Room’, Manager Mo reappeared and escorted Lin Tian and his party to the entrance.

"Where’s the place you mentioned, Sister Zi Yan?" Before Lin Tian could ask, Xiao Manxuan couldn’t help but inquire first.

"Don’t rush, let him drive while I direct," Zi Yan said.

Lin Tian wasn’t in a hurry since they were bound to see it eventually. After they got into the car, they left Tianfu Restaurant.

"Head east, take Huaxi Street," Zi Yan chatted with Xiao Manxuan but didn’t forget to remind Lin Tian.

Following her directions, Lin Tian drove the car, expertly navigating through Xikou City, and soon arrived at the named Huaxi Street.

Huaxi Street was a straight road, and he sped up a bit. A few minutes later, Zi Yan spoke again, "At Wanbo Building intersection, turn right onto Victory Middle Road, and keep heading southeast."

This time, they drove for half an hour, heading so far that Lin Tian felt they might leave the city. Thankfully, soon after passing the southern ring road, Zi Yan instructed him to take a side road, and shortly after, she called for a stop.

"Where are we?" Lin Tian was puzzled. This area didn’t count as part of the city a few years ago, it was only after the rapid development and expansion of Xikou City that it was included within the city limits.

However, this area was not fully developed yet. There were many wastelands with only a few buildings scattered around. Not far away was the Sang River, which flowed across the entire Xikou City.

"Sister Zi Yan, is this entire area yours?" Xiao Manxuan pointed to the vast open wasteland in front of them in amazement.

"How could that be possible? Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t have the funds to acquire all of it," Zi Yan laughed, pointing to a place not too far away, "Do you see that fence there? That’s where my land is."

She was pointing towards an area close to the Sang River, and it still seemed quite large to Lin Tian.

After getting out of the car, the three of them walked over and reached the fence, only to realize it was quite low, about a meter high, seemingly just a symbolic enclosure.

"What do you think? Junior brother, are you satisfied? It’s conveniently located and close to the Sang River, and the scenery is quite nice. I staked this plot three years ago, it’s just that I haven’t found a use for it until now," Zi Yan said with a smile.

"It’s very nice. I wonder how large this plot is?" Lin Tian was more concerned about its size.

"There’s more than ten thousand square meters here, roughly one and a half football fields in size. If you build a training base, you could accommodate three hundred people training at the same time. Of course, if you think it’s not enough, you could buy the surrounding land," Zi Yan continued.

"Three hundred people, that’s sufficient, very good. I’ll exchange the use rights for it, the leisure center’s clubhouse will be yours to use," Lin Tian said, satisfied.

"Junior brother, I’m really curious, how much funding are you putting into this sudden idea of starting a bodyguard company?" Zi Yan looked at Lin Tian, curious.

Xiao Manxuan was also curious; since Lin Tian had been living at the Xiao Family home, where did he get the money to start a bodyguard company?

"Around two billion, I guess," Lin Tian felt it was a bit modest, and said somewhat sheepishly.

"Two billion?" The two women were simultaneously stunned, and then exclaimed in unison, "That much?!"

"Lin Tian, where did you get so much money?" Xiao Manxuan asked in surprise, as she had been by Lin Tian’s side all the while and hadn’t seen him engage in any business. Suddenly having a few billion in assets was astonishing indeed.

"Is it a lot? Among the three of us, I’m still the poorest, I think," Lin Tian said, puzzled. He could only consider himself affluent now, but still far from truly wealthy.

Without comparing himself to the Xiao Family, even Sun Decai’s family was beyond his reach. Two billion might be an astronomical amount to the average person, but it’s far from what real wealthy people have; they might have a famous painting in their collection worth more than that, so Lin Tian felt he still had a long way to go.

"Junior brother, you can’t look at it that way. We’ve been in business for a long time, so having some savings is normal. But you’re still a high school senior and already have such assets; I’m beginning to wonder if you might be the young master of some major family out to gain experience," Zi Yan scrutinized Lin Tian with a hint of suspicion in her words.

"Come on, if I were a young master, would I have needed to tolerate Sun Decai’s insults back then?" Lin Tian responded, he was just an orphan, his parents’ whereabouts unknown, with his only relative being his grandfather.

Zi Yan and Xiao Manxuan saw that Lin Tian didn’t want to disclose the origins of his funds, so they didn’t press further. Everyone has their secrets, but this only made them more curious about Lin Tian. Just when they thought they had seen all there was to him, they realized that was just the tip of the iceberg.

The two women looked at Lin Tian, feeling that this man exuded a strange charm that drew them closer to him, eager to enter his world and understand all there was about him.
