So, I have my own villa again?
Shangguan Yun was very happy, not because of the villa, but because her son had grown up. This at least proved that it was the right thing for her to sever ties with her family and marry Gu Tian.
Although a villa in a small county town is insignificant compared to his family's wealth.
After the contract was finalized, Gu Qingfeng didn't plan to stay long. He left with his parents, and before leaving, he deliberately gave Wu Meili a kind smile.
As the second young lady of the Zhao family, Zhao Zili was very intelligent and extremely good at reading people. She understood Gu Qingfeng's meaning with just a glance.
"Hu Ying, you are no longer suitable for the manager position. Wu Meili will take your place, and you will be assigned to work under her to learn. As for the profit from the sale of this villa, I will transfer it to your account at the end of the month, Meili."
Hu Ying plopped down on the ground. She had worked hard for five years to climb to the position of manager, and now it was all gone just like that.
Hu Ying was indignant that Wu Meili, a newcomer to the company, could replace her. A barely perceptible resentment flashed in her eyes as she looked at Wu Meili, but it disappeared in an instant before her eyes returned to despair.
But she dared not say more. No one could refute Zhao Zili's decisions, and she could only blame herself for standing on the wrong side. It was all her own fault.
Wu Meili was somewhat dazed by the windfall; she had become a manager just like that.
Moreover, Zhao Zili could get a commission for the villa she gave to Gu Qingfeng. She knew that this was all because of Gu Qingfeng. If it weren't for his smile, Zhao Yi would never have cared about someone as insignificant as herself.
The female sales staff at the sales office, who were extremely confident in their looks, were filled with regret. What had Wu Meili done? She had simply become infatuated with Gu Qingfeng's family when no one else was around to serve them.
They were promoted just like that. If it were them, Gu Qingfeng might even have taken a liking to them.
They soared to great heights and were able to live the life of the upper class, becoming people that even big bosses had to curry favor with; their status was unimaginable.
Zhao Zili stayed for a while longer before leaving the sales office. As soon as she left, a group of colleagues surrounded her and congratulated her one after another.
That's just how the world is; there are plenty of people who bully the weak and fear the strong. When Wu Meili got promoted, they were willing to lower themselves and fawn over her like lapdogs.
They politely declined Zhao Zili's offer to send them home, and the three of them strolled around on foot. Gu Tian and his wife did not ask about Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng didn't bring it up himself. He focused his mind on the chat group in his mind. It was really unreasonable to buy a luxury car when you've already bought a villa.
A ghoul who loves reading:
"The big boss hasn't been online for two days. Did something unpleasant happen?"
Tony isn't a womanizer:
"I don't know either, and I dare not ask. I was beaten for an hour after saying the wrong thing last time, and I'm still injured. Little Chushi, would you like to come and visit your uncle?"
Fire Fist Ace:
"Don't play the victim. Madara didn't really hit you. How much strength could Yun Yao have on her own?"
Tony isn't a womanizer:
"You're talking nonsense. It's true that Madara didn't kill me. Besides, your little girlfriend didn't hold back either. This is clearly bullying an honest person."
Destroyer of the world:
"Serves you right, who told you to talk nonsense all the time? Why didn't others get beaten up? It's all because you keep courting death."
The strongest in the dimension:
"@TonyIsNotFlirting, do you have any nice sports cars? Get me a few for my family to drive."
Less than three seconds after he finished speaking, a notification came from the group chat.
[Tony, the faithful, sends an exclusive red envelope to the strongest being in the dimension.]
[The strongest in the dimension has successfully received the red envelope.]
Although he had expected it, Gu Qingfeng was still deeply shocked when he opened the red envelope.
As expected of the richest man in Marvel, he directly gifted two Ferrari LaFerraris and three Rolls-Royces.
Seeking a powerful patron:
"A nouveau riche, so rich it's inhuman, he gave away five cars without even blinking an eye."
A ghoul who loves reading:
"Uncle Tony, you're really rich. We rarely see cars like this around here."
Fire Fist Ace:
"Most of the ships here are warships, and people rarely use this kind of transportation."
Tony isn't a womanizer:
"It's nothing, just a small thing. If you all like them, I can give one to each of you."
Tony Stark's vanity was greatly satisfied; since joining this group, he had gone from being a top figure in the world to just another nobody.
There are plenty of people in the group who are more capable than him. It's useless for him to have money. Apart from Gu Qingfeng, other people's currencies are not compatible with his.
Today he finally got to hold his head high, and he instantly felt his status in the group had risen dramatically.
[The strongest dimensional teleporter sends Tony, who's not a womanizer, an exclusive points bonus.]
Tony isn't a womanizer:
"Boss, you're being too polite. We're all friends, so don't worry about just a few cars."
Tony, who is not a womanizer, has successfully received the red envelope.
They spoke of being incredibly generous, but their hands obediently accepted the red envelopes.
Just kidding, the red envelope from the big shot is no small amount. With these points, I might just soar to the top and become one of the strongest in the group. Then I can just take on anyone I don't like.
Fire Fist Ace:
"Tony made a killing, exchanging a few beat-up cars for 50,000 points."
Death God Elementary School Student:
"I thought those cars looked pretty good just now, but now I don't think they're so appealing anymore. Points are so much more attractive."
A ghoul who loves reading:
"That's 50,000 points! Uncle Tony must be grinning from ear to ear."
Seeking a powerful patron:
"Pah, shameless, exchanging a few beat-up cars for so many points from the big boss."
Fire Fist Ace:
"That's right, that's right, everyone despises him."
Tony isn't a womanizer:
"I checked the Magma-Magma Fruit points carefully, and they're not expensive. @FireFistAce, young man, I advise you to be careful."
Tony Stark had also seen Yun Yao's message and knew that Ace would lose to Akainu under normal circumstances.
Fire Fist Ace:
"Do you really think you have a chance to beat me? Even if you had the Magma-Magma Fruit, you wouldn't be my match. The strength of a fruit depends on its host. Do you think your physical skills are even a tenth of mine?"
Tony Stark:
"You're awesome, but one day I'll surpass you. If I don't beat you up three times a day then, I'm not Tony Stark."
A ghoul who loves reading:
"I have a feeling that Uncle Tony is asking for trouble again. He can't beat Brother Ace yet, so why does he dare to provoke him?"
The strongest in the dimension:
"Points can enhance your abilities, such as your Haki, chakra, or physical strength. You can also choose to enhance your abilities through technology. The ultimate goal of science is theology. You need to carefully consider whether you want to reach the realm of gods through science or enhance your own power, Tony."
Tony thought about it for a moment and felt that it was too far away. He used to think that he would be invincible with the Iron Man suit.
Later, after joining the chat group and learning about his future rivals through Yun Yao's spoilers, he realized that his ideas were too naive.
He needed to be able to defeat Thanos in the future, until the big boss joined him and he realized that there are always people more powerful than him.
The master's strength became his lifelong goal, but he also doubted whether he really had a chance to catch up with the master.
Gu Qingfeng's words deeply resonated with him. Everyone in the group became strong through their own efforts, but he was the only one who relied on technology.
"I will carefully consider my future direction. Thank you for your guidance."
I can't make up my mind about this right now. I'll save these points for now and use them when I've figured out my future direction!
Gu Qingfeng had a good impression of Tony Stark; aside from his slightly sarcastic remarks, he was a very nice person.
That's why he took the initiative to remind people; he wasn't very optimistic about the development of technology, even though there were many ways to use high-tech energy in the group.
High-level weapons such as superion cannons, energy converters, and photon aggregation guns each possess devastating destructive power.
But external forces are ultimately just external forces. Gu Qingfeng didn't think technology was the long-term solution, but everyone's path was different, and he didn't want to interfere too much with Tony's choices.
Gu Qingfeng left the chat group, looked around to make sure there were no surveillance cameras, and then flicked his right hand to send a jet-black supercar to the ground.
Gu Tian and Shangguan Yun were startled by the sudden appearance of the enormous creature. It was already outrageous enough that it could conjure money out of thin air, but how could it conjure a car out of thin air with a wave of its hand?
"How did you do that? You can conjure up such a big car."
Gu Tian looked at Gu Qingfeng with the eyes of someone looking at a monster, and he suspected that his son might be possessed by some kind of monster.
