Chapter 278 - 277: A Chance Encounter with Brother Xiaoma
Fang Chenyi was a bit confused, not understanding what Old Wang meant.
But after a moment’s thought, he understood. The car’s owner was probably some big shot who just preferred to keep a low profile.
Of course, when it came to being low-key, Principal Wang believed the car’s owner was nowhere near Fang Chenyi’s level.
After all, a super tycoon like Fang Chenyi actually carried a woven bag around to collect scraps. In the world of tycoons, who could possibly compete with that...
Fang Chenyi smiled and shook his head. "Heh, I could never guess that."
Hearing this, Old Wang stopped being mysterious and said directly, "Younger Brother Fang, don’t be fooled by how low-key this car is. Its owner is incredibly rich. He’s this year’s wealthiest man in all of Huaxia. How about this? I’ll give you a hint: his surname is Ma~"
After he finished, he continued to watch Fang Chenyi with a grin.
Fang Chenyi froze for a moment, then blurted out:
"It couldn’t be Brother Xiaoma’s car, could it?"
Old Wang nodded, confirming Fang Chenyi’s suspicion.
’I heard Brother Xiaoma say he was coming to the Jingcheng headquarters yesterday. I can’t believe he’s actually here. Still, I have to admit, his car is remarkably low-key.’
As they spoke, the three of them had left the parking garage, where rows of electric carts now appeared before them. Meanwhile, Principal Wang took a large backpack from the trunk of Old Wang’s car.
"Heh, have Xiaocong drive."
After saying this to Principal Wang, Old Wang began to explain to Fang Chenyi:
"You can drive these electric carts yourself, or you can have their staff do it. But we prefer not to have anyone else around."
Fang Chenyi nodded. But when his gaze unintentionally fell on a logo on the electric cart, he froze.
Emblazoned on the side of the cart were the two large words: "Celestial Paradise."
’Celestial Paradise?? Could this place be related to my golf course?’
Lost in thought, he got into the electric cart. Principal Wang started it up and drove off. A short while later, a large gate appeared before them.
A strange expression crept onto Fang Chenyi’s face when he saw the gate.
There on the wall beside the gate was the name: Celestial Paradise International Golf Course.
’This is interesting. I can’t believe the place Old Wang brought me to for some fun turned out to be my own golf course...’
After a card was presented at the gate, the staff respectfully waved the electric cart through.
Once inside, Old Wang began to enthusiastically give Fang Chenyi a tour of the place.
Fang Chenyi listened attentively, but he decided not to mention that he owned the place.
"Younger Brother Fang, the golf course is what this place is most famous for. It’s the most exclusive course in all of Huaxia. How about we go play a few holes first?"
Fang Chenyi didn’t refuse. After he agreed, Principal Wang expertly steered the cart toward the golf course.
After about a five or six-minute drive, the cart came to a stop. Looking out over the vast, manicured course, Fang Chenyi felt a wave of emotion. Even though the course was his now, he had never once played golf in his life.
Principal Wang then took the bag off the cart and opened it. Fang Chenyi saw it was full of golf clubs. Judging by Old Wang’s demeanor, it was clear he was a regular here.
"Younger Brother Fang, what’s the plan? Should we call a few friends over to join us?"
Fang Chenyi shrugged. "Whatever you think is best. I’ve never played this game before, so I’ll just follow your lead."
Old Wang saw nothing wrong with Fang Chenyi’s response. It was perfectly normal for someone his age not to be interested in a sport like golf.
BEEP BEEP...
However, before Old Wang could say more, the horn of an electric cart suddenly blared from behind them.
The three men turned to look.
"Haha, Old Wang! What’s got you so free today? Finally have time to play a round?"
They turned to see two electric carts pulling up nearby. A middle-aged man wearing glasses on one of the carts called out to Old Wang with a smile.
’When Fang Chenyi saw the man, he froze for a second. He looked incredibly familiar; Fang Chenyi had seen him in the news online countless times.’
Just then, Old Wang laughed heartily and greeted the middle-aged man, who had parked his cart and was now walking over.
"Haha, I was about to ask you the same thing! Brother Xiaoma, you’re a busy man. It’s a rare sight to see you on the course. Come on, this is perfect. Let me introduce you to someone important."
That’s right. The man who had just arrived was none other than the famous Brother Xiaoma.
As he spoke, Old Wang glanced at Fang Chenyi, preparing to make the introduction.
But before Old Wang could, Brother Xiaoma froze. He stared at Fang Chenyi, a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes, and asked tentatively,
"Mr. Fang?"
Brother Xiaoma had never met Fang Chenyi in person, but he had seen his photograph more than once.
Seeing such a handsome young man, he immediately thought of the mysterious Fang Chenyi who had acquired his Tencent Entertainment.
Seeing that he had been recognized, Fang Chenyi smiled, stepped forward, and extended his hand to shake Brother Xiaoma’s.
"Haha, I was just thinking I needed to thank you properly for yesterday, Brother Xiaoma. I didn’t expect to meet you today. It seems we’re quite fated to meet."
Hearing Fang Chenyi confirm his identity, a look of mock displeasure crossed Brother Xiaoma’s face.
"Brother Fang, now you’re just being unfair," he said. "I told you yesterday I was in Jingcheng. Why didn’t you give me a call when you arrived? I was waiting to treat you to a meal!"
Seeing how friendly the two were, Old Wang couldn’t help but feel confused.
"Wait, you two know each other?"
But as soon as he asked, he realized it was a silly question. ’For someone as formidable as Fang Chenyi, knowing Brother Xiaoma is perfectly normal.’
Brother Xiaoma turned to Old Wang and said with a chuckle,
"Of course we do. Younger Brother Fang here is now the largest shareholder in my Tencent Entertainment."
Old Wang was stunned. He never imagined that Fang Chenyi was also the majority shareholder of Tencent Entertainment.
’It’s just as I thought,’ he mused. ’The power behind Fang Chenyi is simply immense!’
"Heh, Younger Brother Fang, you’re involved in so many different industries. Your abilities are far beyond ours. Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we all play a round together?"
Brother Xiaoma agreed to Old Wang’s suggestion without a moment’s hesitation.
