I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 5

Chen Hao walked out of the room.

His best friends Yang Hui and Ma Xiaonan came after him.

“What are you doing? The present isn’t the most important thing!” Ma Xiaonan anxiously explained.

Yang Hui added, “Chen Hao, don’t leave. Finish the meal before leaving. If you leave, there is no point for us to stay as well!”

Chen Hao smiled and replied, “Enjoy yourself. Yang Hui, Xiaonan, I really have something to do. Just trust me. I am not lying to you.”

Chen Hao was not sure if they believed him or not but he left anyway.

It all came back to the card that his sister gave him. That shopping card which had a minimum spending of seventy thousand dollars unexpectedly got him into trouble again.

Despite Yang Hui and Ma Xiaonan’s persistence, Chen Hao ultimately still left.

“Did that poor dude leave?”

Xu Nan mocked Chen Hao again when Ma Xiaonan and Yang Hui came back to the room.

Yang Hui rebutted, “Xu Nan, can’t you stop bullying him? Stop taking advantage of the fact that he is an easy target. Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?”

Yang Hui could not stand it anymore.

“Haha, he was the one asking for trouble. I’m not the one who bought a knock-off and tried to pass it off as a real bag to look cool. I mean, a Hermes Limited Edition Anniversary bag! I will give him that, he has balls.”

Zhao Yifan shook her head.

Chen Hao was walking on the streets aimlessly after he left.

When Chen Hao had no money, all he had dreamed of was being rich. Now that he was rich, he didn’t feel any better.

On the contrary, he had just spent 70,000 dollars but he did not even get to have a beverage at the party. To make it worse, people liked him even less!

Chen Hao was thinking if he should look for a place to get a drink.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was from his sister Chen Xiao.

Chen Hao picked up and answer, “Sister!”

“Chen Hao, what are you up to?”

“I am not exactly doing anything right now.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Then help your sister out.”

Chen Hao asked, “What can I do?”

“You’ve probably heard of Jin Ling Commercial Street right? I invested and developed the street when I visited you four years ago. Right now, I need your help to sign the renewal contract on my behalf. I am unable to come over to do so myself!”

“Since the development and investment are jointly owned by both of us, it would also work if you signed it. So go and help me sign the contract!”

“Hello, Chen Hao, did you hear what I just said?”

Of course Chen Hao heard what she said.

He was just completely stunned and bewildered.

Jin Ling Commercial Street?

That was one of the best sites in the whole city!

The commercial street was packed with shops and businesses were booming.

At the end of the commercial street, there was a Spa resort that was built into a mountain. The resort was constantly visited by the rich tycoons from Jin Ling City.

Wait, does that mean that the entire stretch of the commercial street is owned by his family?

“Sister, are you serious? The commercial street is owned by our family?”

“Damn! After speaking to you for so long, you still think I am kidding? I developed it myself. Back then I could not start so many businesses in multiple industries under my name, thus I used your identification. Therefore, you own half of the street!”

“Look for a manager called Li Zhenguo when you arrive at the Hot Spring Villa. I have informed him that you, the second boss, will sign the contract!”

Chen Hao was left speechless.

“Alright, that’s all! I still have something to do over here. Bye!”

Chen Xiao hung up the phone.

Chen Hao held onto his phone and was in a daze for a long while.

Hot Spring Villa was such an exclusive area. In the past, he did not even dare to think about going there.

Yet, things were different now. Chen Hao ultimately took a deep breath and called for a cab to send him to Jin Ling Commercial Street.

Hot Spring Villa had restaurants, entertainment centers and accommodations all under one roof.

It was a villa next to the mountain and below it was the commercial street built along the mountain stretch.

Chen Hao gathered himself and walked in.

“Sir, please stop right there!”

Just as Chen Hao was about to walk in, he was stopped by a few beautiful receptionists.

“Sir, did you book a place in the villa?” a receptionist asked Chen Hao.

They were clearly accustomed to meeting a lot of big shots.

But now in front of them was Chen Hao, who was dressed like a beggar.

Although the few receptionists sounded polite, you could see in their faces the look of disgust that the woman at Hermes had before Chen Hao revealed the truth.

“I did not make a reservation. I am here to look for someone!” Chen Hao replied.

At the same time, he glanced at the receptionists and was shocked. No wonder people said that the Hot Spring Resort is a paradise in Jin Ling City.

There were about five to six receptionists. They looked as if they were fresh graduates from university and they looked like models as they had both great looks and good figures.

“Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?”

The beautiful ladies frowned at the same time upon hearing what Chen Hao said.

At this point, their voices had become cold and indifferent.

“I am looking for Mr. Li Zhenguo. He is the General Manager!”

Of course, Chen Hao could see that they looked down on him. However, he still chose to tell the truth.

The beautiful ladies glanced at each other.

General Manager Li?

They concluded that this poor dude had no idea who General Manager Li was.

Did he think that the General Manager was someone that one could randomly meet?

They were also certain by then that this poor dude was here for a visit.

After all, Hot Spring Resort was really too well-known. The majority of the population could not enter as they could not afford it and there was no way they would be allowed to enter.

Despite the fact that they were horrified by Chen Hao’s appearance, they still kept the air of politeness.

“Sir, if you wish to meet General Manager Li, you have to make an appointment. If you do not have an appointment, please leave right now!”

Chen Hao finally realized that these receptionists mistook him as someone who was here to swindle them.

Just as he was considering calling his sister to help to notify Li Zhenguo about his arrival, he heard someone speaking.

“Miss Zheng Yue, what are you all doing? Does Hot Spring Villa allow anyone and everyone into their premises?” A young guy who was lavishly-dressed with gelled hair walked into the villa. He was holding onto the hand of a flirtatiously-dressed woman with heavy makeup.

He threw a contemptuous glance at Chen Hao then smiled at the lead receptionist.

“Shangtian, I thought you said that this was the most luxurious location in Jin Ling City? Why is there still someone dressed like this here?” the flirtatious-looking woman asked.

This woman was as deep as a kiddie pool.

The lead receptionist Zheng Yue apologized to him, “I am truly sorry Mr. Li. We will take care of this right away!”

Li Shangtian smirked, “That’s great. I am planning to invite a few friends from out of town later on. Our villa is a symbol of Jin Ling City. It should not be downgraded. I hope you don’t get angry at me for babbling. My father and your General Manager Li know each other and even shared a meal together!”

It was obvious that Li Shangtian had the utmost respect for General Manager Li from his tone.

The lady in his arms was practically gushing upon realizing that he knew General Manager Li. She didn’t know he had such a strong social network and that he even knew General Manager Li who was such a big shot in Jin Ling City.

Even the group of receptionists next to Zheng Yue was secretly flirting with him in hopes of garnering his attention.

Zheng Yue nodded, “Yes, Mr. Li!”

She then turned around and gave a stern look at Chen Hao.

“Please leave. Don’t hold up our business or I will call security!”

“Fine! I will make a phone call first!”

Chen Hao took a deep breath and walked out. While walking out, he took out his phone.

“Damn! This guy sure knows how to pretend and show off! Acting like he is actually a big shot!” Li Shangtian sneered.

“Mr. Li, don’t take it too seriously. This kind of issue happened quite often in Hot Spring Villa.” Zheng Yue smiled apologetically.

Li Shangtian nodded and said, “Miss Zheng Yue, would you do me a favor and come over to have some drinks with us after the arrival of my friends?”

“Let’s talk about that later, Mr. Li!” Zheng Yue gave a reserved smile.

Li Shangtian looked suggestively at Zheng Yue while nodding his head. He then took his wallet out and walked toward the front desk to check in.

The group of beautiful receptionists looked adoringly at Zheng Yue and asked, “Zheng Yue, do you know Mr. Li?”

Zheng Yue tidied up her hair and proudly replied, “Of course. Why else did we choose to work here as receptionists right out of graduation? It was because we can get to know more rich tycoons like Mr. Li!”

“Did you all recognize the flirtatious woman in his arms? She is a second-tier celebrity. Mr. Li’s family is involved in real estate and his family’s net worth is more than two billion!”

“Wow! No wonder his father knows the big boss in Jin Ling Commercial Street, General Manager Li. I never knew he had such high status!”

The group of receptionists stared at the silhouette of Li Shangtian and they were infatuated with him.

“Oh, speaking of General Manager Li, he is probably in a meeting with the leaders of Jin Ling City as well as the presidents of Jin Ling’s Chamber of Commerce. That loser still dared to say he was looking for General Manager Li. This dude is such a joke.” Zheng Yue scorned.

She was smiling and getting ready to go over and make small talk with Li Shangtian. When she lifted her head up, she saw that the poor loser dude who was chased out had returned.

“Why did you come back again?”

Zheng Yue could not understand.

The group of receptionists also looked at Chen Hao in disdain.
