"Heh heh!"
Seeing Chen Zheng fall silent, Zhang Wei couldn't hide his mockery.
But at that moment, Chen Zheng lifted his head. "Experts really are different. President Zhang even knew I bought my house in the Garden Villas. Impressive!"
"What? You said you bought your house in the Garden Villas? That… that's impossible…" Huang Dazhi exclaimed in shock from the side.
"Chen Zheng, stop bluffing! That's the top real estate company in Yun City! Even the cheapest villa costs fifty million, and the top-tier luxury villas are worth a hundred million!"
"Sure, you have a Lamborghini, and I, Huang Dazhi, can't compare to that. But to say you own property in the Garden Villas? That's absolutely impossible!" Huang Dazhi shook his head repeatedly, his face full of disbelief.
"Holy shit! A villa for fifty million… a hundred million? Damn it, I couldn't make that much money in eight lifetimes…"
"So this is what the world of the rich is like? I'm feeling it!"
The crowd gasped in astonishment.
"Heh heh! Chen Zheng, being able to buy a house in your twenties is already quite impressive. You don't have to make things up just for the sake of some imaginary prestige. Forget it. Let's just pretend I never said anything. There's no need for you to introduce your assets!" Zhang Wei smiled, a mocking smirk playing on his lips. "After all, throughout Yun City, besides the Garden Villas, my Dahong Real Estate is the undisputed behemoth."
He had thought he was dealing with someone with real skills, but it turned out to be just a braggart.
"A property in the Garden Villas? Is that supposed to be difficult?" Chen Zheng chuckled. "Heh heh! Well then, I'll reluctantly let you see for yourselves whether I'm bluffing or not."
With that, he took out his phone.
"Uh… are you just going to show us a photo? How does that count as proof?"
"Hahaha! Who knows if you just downloaded that picture from the internet? Are you trying to fool us again?"
Many people started jeering, acting like the fickle, fair-weather friends they were.
Too lazy to explain further, Chen Zheng simply opened the smart AI software on his phone.
DING! "Welcome to the world of AI smart control!"
At the sound of the pleasant voice, the noisy chatter stopped abruptly.
"Holy crap, smart AI control?"
"This has to be fake, right?" someone questioned.
"No! This really does look like the Garden Villas' control system!" Wei Xuerou spoke up just then. Although her company wasn't on the same level as the Garden Villas, they had some partnerships. She was quite familiar with their control system.
"It's said that only clients of the Garden Villas are granted permission to install the AI operating system. Chen Zheng, did you really buy a house in the Garden Villas?" Wei Xuerou was greatly surprised.
"What? Goddess, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Exactly! That's the top real estate in Yun City! How is that possible?"
"No! It's real!" Wei Xuerou shook her head, speaking with certainty. "My company, Smart Cloud, has a computing partnership with the Garden Villas. I even personally selected the voiceover for the AI operating system!"
Everyone drew in a sharp breath and quickly crowded around. "Pinch me and tell me this isn't true!"
Meanwhile, as the smart AI software opened, a small robot appeared on the screen.
"Director, welcome home. I am the Number One Garden Butler. You may call me Hua Hua!"
"Next, I will show you a panoramic view of the Number One Garden Villa. If you'd like to see other areas, you may give me a direct command!"
As the AI's voice faded, an image appeared on Chen Zheng's phone. The panoramic view was a god's-eye perspective of the entire property. In an instant, the villa's complete layout, along with the swimming pool and garden, was displayed before everyone's eyes.
"It really is a Garden Villas property! Chen Zheng, when did you buy it? I'm a partner of Garden Villas, and even I haven't heard about this!" Wei Xuerou couldn't help but gape in astonishment at the vast and exquisitely beautiful villa.
"I just bought it. I haven't even lived in it yet," Chen Zheng said seriously.
Anyway, he wasn't sure when the system had actually made the purchase, and as long as it didn't stop him from showing off, it didn't matter.
"How is that possible? How could a guy like you afford to buy property in Yun City's Garden Villas?" Huang Dazhi's expression was foul, his heart filled with shock.
Zhang Wei's face was also etched with disbelief. Despite being the general manager of Dahong Real Estate with an annual salary of over a million, he could only admire the Garden Villas from a distance, never daring to entertain the slightest thought of owning one.
"Is it that difficult? Or are you just not up to it?" Chen Zheng said indifferently with a slight curl of his lip.
"Huang Dazhi, you can come over and verify it. See if the intelligent AI system responds to you!" Wei Xuerou spoke up again. "I designed the voice command feature in the AI system. It can only recognize the owner's voice. That's the best way to test it!"
Hearing this, Huang Dazhi was struck speechless, his expression uglier than ever.
"For real? Let me try!" Li Hao, seeing this, grew curious. He took Chen Zheng's phone and said, "Hua Hua, bring up a full view of the living room!"
The system, however, gave no response.
"I'll try, too!" Zhao Gao also gave it a try. "Hua Hua, I want to see the swimming pool!"
The result was the same as Li Hao's.
"Let me." Chen Zheng smiled and spoke softly, "Show me a full view of the living room and the swimming pool."
DING! "Dear Master, Hua Hua is at your service. The view has been changed. Please observe."
The phone immediately responded to his words. The next second, a vast swimming pool and a living room that was a showcase of modern technology abruptly appeared on the screen.
The swimming pool was spacious and fully equipped. The living room's decor was even more luxurious, with a thirty-inch television embedded directly into the wall and surrounded by gold plating. As for the black sofa set, although they couldn't identify the material, it was clearly from a top international brand. Every other item was from a luxury brand as well.
Even those who didn't know much about luxury couldn't help but gasp. The items in the living room alone were worth at least a million.
For a moment, everyone was both shocked and envious. But now, no one doubted Chen Zheng's words, including Zhang Wei and Huang Dazhi.
*Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the selection task. You have received a reward of 30,000,000. The amount will be directly deposited into your bank account.*
As the system's voice fell, Chen Zheng's phone suddenly vibrated.
Everyone immediately looked up, their eyes widening in amazement.
"Holy crap! Eight digits…"
"I'm still struggling just to get by in society, and this guy earns tens of millions in an instant. How the hell am I supposed to compete with that?"
"Brother Zheng, I'm almost certain you're flexing on us, but damn it, I can't find any proof!"
