“Is Upper Forest Park very amazing?”

Lu Ming was puzzled. He only knew that it was quite expensive. Before buying, he did not do any research. He just bought it as he pleased.

Chu Jinyu understood that he was from an ordinary family and was unaware of these things. So she explained, “Of course. As a top-notch park in Shanghai, it goes without saying that the location and the environment are excellent. It is zoned according to People-level, Earth-level, and Sky-level—in that order.”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “Those who live in the People-level zone are basically local tycoons. Those who live in the Earth-level zone are mostly famous tycoons from the entire province. Those who live in the Sky-level zone are the top tycoons from the country and all over the world. If you can gain the favor of one of them when you’re there, your career will advance rapidly.”

“Oh, my!”

“So amazing?”

Lu Ming asked, “Is the No. 1 Residence amazing too?”

Chu Jinyu looked at him in astonishment and said, “How did you know about No. 1 Residence?”

“Because I am the new owner of that place—how could I not know?” Lu Ming thought to himself.

Lu Ming knew that she would not believe him. He answered, “Because the person who is going to discuss business with us is staying in No. 1 Residence.”

“I see.”

Chu Jinyu felt like her mood was taking a rollercoaster ride. “The No. 1 Residence in Upper Forest Park is famous among the wealthy. Not only is it expensive, but it’s said to occupy more than half of the entire park. No one knows who lives there, but I think it should be someone from a wealthy family, right?

You might be able to see it if you go over. Oh right, what business are you discussing?”

Lu Ming said without changing his expression, “It’s related to real estate.”

To be honest, he was unwilling to lie to his childhood friend, but if she did not believe him, what could he do? He could only continue spinning his story.

Chu Jinyu nodded thoughtfully. “Then you have to perform well. This is a rare opportunity.”

“Perform well in front of myself?” he thought.

Lu Ming chuckled. “I know.”

After a while, the food on the table was almost finished. Chu Jinyu picked up her bag and said, “Shall I send you home?”

“No, send me to Upper Forest Park. The business partnership is more urgent.”

“Okay.”

A red Lamborghini sped through the city.

Upper Forest Park occupied the northernmost spot of Shanghai. As they drove into the park, it was as if they had entered a different world. It was so quiet that one could clearly hear the sounds of birds and even see squirrels and snow rabbits in the large forest. In the middle was a fountain paved with gold.

“What a tycoon.”

It was the first time Lu Ming saw a structure made of gold.

Right after that, they came upon a sprawling lake with swans gliding on it. There were people fishing by the shore. All of this gave him an inexplicable feeling of tranquility.

There was silence all around.

Chu Jinyu stopped the car. Seeing that Lu Ming was still looking around, she smiled and said, “Isn’t the environment very good?”

“It’s indeed very good.”

The two of them got out of the car, one after the other. The ancient courtyard in front of them looked extremely opulent, but… on the wall was a sign that had the number ‘3’.

In other words, compared with this, the first two residences were slightly bigger.

“What a coincidence. I’m currently living in No. 3. When I first came here, I almost didn’t want to leave.”

Chu Jinyu saw that Lu Ming was staring at the yard in front of him and her heart skipped a beat. Even though Lu Ming repeatedly emphasized that his life was very good now, no matter what, he was from an ordinary family.

It was his first time here and he would inevitably feel the discrepancy between them. She was afraid that Lu Ming would feel that there was an uncrossable barrier between the two of them. If there was a barrier between them, there would be a consequence.

The two of them had drifted further apart.

She liked Lu Ming. It had not been easy for her to find him. She did not want to let go of him so easily.

She wanted to give everything she had to help him achieve success in his career. Then the two of them would be equal, and at that time, he would naturally not have any misgivings.

“If you don’t mind, why don’t you move in with me?”

She blushed slightly.

Lu Ming laughed dryly and said, “No, no. I prefer my own place. Thank you for sending me here. I’ll go in to discuss the cooperation.”

He turned around and saw the gorgeous building beside him that made No. 3 pale in comparison.

The number tag on it read—’1!’

Chu Jinyu watched him leave and seemed to want to say something but she held back in the end. After six years of absence, there was an additional barrier between them.

They could not make up for the lost time.

“When can we return to the past?” she wondered.

She lowered her head and thought to herself, “We can’t go back to where we were before.”

On the other side.

A few four-sided pavilions greeted Lu Ming. There was a lotus pond in the middle of each pavilion. After passing through the courtyard, he came to a spacious hall. On the topmost board were written three big words—’Wind-Facing Chamber.’ There were more than ten doors leading to it.

On the right, there were all sorts of flowers. Chrysanthemums, orchids, big flowers, blue moons, camellias, and so on. They were all colorful. It was a feast for the eyes! There were also patches of Xiangfei bamboo beside them, as well as tortoise-shell bamboo with spiral patterns. Close to them was a towering book chamber called the ‘Tianwen Chamber!’

On the left were a few towering trees whose branches tapped the water surface from time to time. A bird that was perched on a branch let out crisp chirps, like a young girl showing her singing voice. It was pleasant to the ears. There was a sizable pavilion built on the lake, with a guzheng on a stone table.

It was called the ‘Waterbird Residence.’

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes. He remembered that the guzheng had appeared on television previously—one of the Dunhuang Collection series. Not counting this or the flowers, just those sandalwood trees were worth millions of yuan!

Those who did not understand would only think that the environment here was good. However, in reality, even a blade of grass could probably fetch more than 10 thousand yuan!

He looked at the fish swimming in the lake and instantly gasped. There were wrought iron butterflyfish, seven-banded nine-thorn bass, bladefin basslet, and a red mint angelfish. If he sold them, he could buy several apartments!

No wonder this place was so expensive. It was all made of money!

He walked to the hall. There were antiques everywhere he looked. Any piece was enough to cover an ordinary person’s annual expenses. Moreover, the furniture was made of yellow rosewood.

He had already sighed for the umpteenth time today. “How grand,” he thought.

“Is this where the rich live?”

If it were in the past, he would never have dared to dream of such interior decoration. Now after seeing expensive things so often, he felt a little numb.

It was too stimulating!
