Zhang Yuxin smiled. {What? You don't know yet? | Read COM, read error-free chapters | Go Google it now!}

"You must have a lot of fans of your game. I'm a cycling enthusiast myself, but your bike is still something I can only dream of."

Li Haoyu glanced at her.

This bicycle isn't well-known to most people, so it's surprising that someone recognized it.

This is actually a bit troublesome.

However, Li Haoyu was in no hurry to explain.

He calmly replied.

"It is a bit expensive. My liver was trembling when I bought this car. But this car is just the entry-level model. I don't even want to think about the price of the top-of-the-line model."

Li Haoyu's answer surprised Zhang Yuxin.

This was the first time she began to doubt her own judgment.

Could it be that Li Haoyu isn't as capable as she thinks, but is just putting on a show or is merely a small-time tycoon?

Guan Juer overheard their conversation.

She was completely confused.

She first placed the titanium water bottle that Li Haoyu had given her on the bicycle frame, and then carefully examined the bicycle.

Guan Juer had already planned to take a picture of the car when she got back.

I'll go online and check what's so special about this car.

Guan Juer was a complete novice when it came to bicycles.

But she wasn't stupid. Although she hadn't fully understood their conversation, Guan Juer realized one thing: this car definitely wasn't cheap.

However, asking about the price on the spot was definitely inappropriate. After all, Li Haoyu had only lent her the car, and she already owed him a favor.

If she continues to ask questions, especially sensitive ones like about price, then it's not only impolite, but also shows a lack of basic emotional intelligence.

At this point, Guan Juer couldn't hold back any longer.

"We were supposed to have our cycling training session, but it's going to get dark soon, how are we supposed to train like this?"

Li Haoyu chuckled at Guan Juer's reply.

This was the first time he had ever seen Guan Juer so anxious; indeed, girls sometimes need external stimulation too.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but joke.

"Don't worry about that. I have a suitable training venue that's brightly lit 24 hours a day. I can also guarantee that you can go anytime without having to worry about queuing."

Guan Juer looked at Li Haoyu with a puzzled expression.

"How could such a place exist? Even if it does, the venue must be incredibly expensive, right? I don't have your financial resources."

Li Haoyu smiled.

"The training facility definitely doesn't have those kinds of opening hours. But our neighborhood has a dedicated bike track, so you can ride around freely there."

Guan Juer couldn't help but question it.

"I thought you were talking about some nice place. You're not talking about the running track in our neighborhood, are you? Bicycles aren't allowed there."

"Furthermore, the streetlights in the Joyful Song residential complex are so bad that you can't even see your feet at night. Residents have complained many times, but it hasn't been fixed."

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "Of course I'm not talking about the Joyful Song residential area. It's better to practice on the main road than to ride a bike there."

"I'm talking about my other home. The neighborhood there is spacious and has a dedicated bike track. Even when I'm not there, the property security will still be responsible for your safety."

"I'll call the property management later, then you can go whenever you want."

Guan Juer asked with some curiosity.

"You already own properties elsewhere, so why did you buy one in the Joyful Ode neighborhood? Isn't that a waste of money?"

Li Haoyu waved his hand, "The environment and property management services in that community are excellent, but the location is a bit out of the way, making it inconvenient for commuting."

"Besides, there's not much of a lively atmosphere there. I think it's much more comfortable to stay in the Joyful Song residential area. Otherwise, where would I have met so many interesting people?"

Guan Juer said with a sudden realization.

"That's true, commuting to work requires convenient transportation."

"But if your other home is really that far away, then forget it. It won't be convenient for me to go to work later. I can just practice riding my bike on the nearby streets."

Li Haoyu didn't insist.

Guan Juer asked casually.

"Which other neighborhood do you live in?"

"Tangong Residential Area is only slightly larger than Huanlesong Residential Area, so there's nothing particularly special about it."

Tangong Residential Area?

It's that Dan Palace!!!

Zhang Yuxin heard the name of this neighborhood.

At first, she thought the name just sounded familiar, but then she suddenly realized something was wrong.

There should only be one place in Shanghai called Tan Palace.

That's a real luxury residence, known as the back garden of Shanghai. There are only eighteen villas in such a large area, so you can imagine how valuable they are.

It is said that no house there costs less than nine figures.

Zhang Yuxin had known that Li Haoyu was rich, but she really hadn't expected him to be this rich.

She had the privilege of hearing rumors about the "Tangong Residential Area".

It's not just "a little bigger" as Li Haoyu described; I heard that none of the houses there are smaller than 1000 square meters.

As for the bike path, it's not outrageous at all. She heard that each homeowner also has more than 2 acres of private garden, and even a place to park helicopters.

Even the stone used to build the villa has a remarkable origin.

It is said that they are all airlifted directly from the surface mines in the Alps, using the same materials as those used in the Louvre, Versailles and Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Even more outrageous is that, in order to make the "community" more prestigious, the developer stipulated that buildings within a 3-kilometer radius of it must never exceed 15 meters in height.

…………

These outrageous pieces of information all came from the internet.

But nobody knows which of these messages are true and which are false. Since most people can't even get inside, verifying their authenticity is out of the question.

Even so, Li Haoyu's casual remark just now still shocked Zhang Yuxin.

Zhang Yuxin had heard from a friend that the Tan Palace was extremely large and luxurious, with flowers, grass, and even peacocks. Its scale was breathtaking, something she had never seen before in her life.

She looked down and examined Li Haoyu again; he wasn't wearing any luxury brand clothes at all.

This made Zhang Yuxin doubt herself.

Am I just overthinking things?

But then she looked at the two brand-new Trek vehicles beside her.

Especially Li Haoyu's car, which was clearly not the standard configuration he mentioned.

It's not the top-of-the-line model, but it's at least the second-highest trim level.

Zhang Yuxin thought that Li Haoyu might not have been bragging, considering that he could easily buy a nearby house just for the convenience of commuting to work.

He's probably not the kind of man who tries to show off or pretend to be something he's not. Besides, a house isn't like a luxury car that you can rent.

What if Guan Juer really did go to the community just now?

Then his boasting will immediately fall apart?

Zhang Yuxin was also caught in a dilemma.

But her curiosity was like ants crawling all over her.

She won't give up until there's a clear outcome.

Zhang Yuxin has her own set of criteria for judging whether a man has financial strength.

The most basic thing is speech and demeanor.

To judge whether a person is rich or not, you can tell by how confident they are in their attitude towards others.

A person who grows up in a wealthy family will be very confident in their interactions with others.

If someone is particularly irritable or insecure towards those who are less well-off than him, they usually come from families that are not very wealthy.

Even if they are wealthy now, it's not because of their own efforts. Most of it is due to luck, such as stock speculation or land expropriation.

Even if this kind of person is rich, Zhang Yuxin wouldn't really accept him. Because even if she married him, she'd most likely not be happy.

Li Haoyu is competent in this regard, and judging from his speech just now, he is much better than the men she had met before.

As for Zhang Yuxin's second method of judging wealthy people, it is actually the simplest and most direct way to talk about income.

This seems very simple.

However, it is precisely this that best verifies the credibility of a person's words.

If a guy starts talking about his income and savings...

He likes to say things like "300," "300," or "two small goals," which is most likely a lie.

If he had just said 3 million, 200 million...

That's very likely true.

Because people feel guilty when they lie or boast, they tend to replace key information with other words.

She had previously met a man from Northeast China who wore a gold chain on a blind date.

She constantly boasts about how rich she is and keeps promising that if she follows him, she will live a life of luxury for the rest of her life.

Zhang Yuxin naturally didn't believe it, but other girls still fell for it.

He was eventually locked up in jail, where he finally confessed that he was a fraud.

The mink coat he was wearing was all fake.

He didn't tell the truth at all, except for the gold chain around his neck. But that was something he bought by selling his old house in his hometown to impress girls.

However, she couldn't be so blunt with Li Haoyu.

Otherwise, even a naive girl like Guan Juer would have sensed something was wrong.

Zhang Yuxin said calmly, "I have a problem right now and I'd like you to give me some advice."

Guan Juer spoke without any doubt.

"Whatever it is, I'll help if I can."

Li Haoyu, however, was not as naive as Guan Juer.

He could tell at a glance that Zhang Yuxin's motives were impure.

It's understandable that Guan Juer would ask her for advice if she had something to say, since Guan Juer was her colleague.

But this was the first time he and Zhang Yuxin had met.

Why should she ask for her opinion?

Li Haoyu thought about it for a moment and immediately understood.

Zhang Yuxin is quite a knowledgeable person.

Since she could recognize the Trek bicycle, it's not surprising that she knew about the Dan Palace.

This explains why it was in such a short time.

The emotional changes were so drastic.

It should be Tangong, and it can only be Tangong.

Li Haoyu was also curious about what Zhang Yuxin was really up to.

"Guan Guan is right. Just tell us what's wrong. We'll do our best to help if we can."

Zhang Yuxin said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I've worked hard in Shanghai and have some savings."

"But bank interest rates are too low. I want to make some small investments, but I don't know how to allocate them. I know about stocks, funds, and wealth management products, but I don't know how to do it."

Zhang Yuxin said that.

Guan Juer immediately frowned.

"I really don't have any good solutions to this. I'm the kind of person who just puts my savings in the bank."

Zhang Yuxin also deliberately sighed.

She said to Guan Juer.

"I'm having the same problem, so I wanted to ask someone with experience for advice."

"An experienced person."

Guan Juer couldn't help but mutter to herself.

She couldn't help but look at Li Haoyu beside her.

Guan Juer suddenly realized.

"By the way... Brother Li, you own a company. You must know more about finance than we do."

Now both of their eyes turned to Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but sigh.

He originally thought Zhang Yuxin was just an ordinary girl.

It seems her skill level is much higher than I imagined.

By playing the victim, he completely fooled Guan Juer. He even managed to extract information from her that he was a boss and tried to probe her about his investment methods.

If you know the specific methods, you can find another way to make money.

It's definitely a win-win situation.

This girl is quite shrewd.

However, he didn't want to be taken advantage of by a woman for nothing, especially since Zhang Yuxin wasn't even his woman.

Li Haoyu said, "This is simple. You know I don't run a game company."

"If you simply want to make money, it's easy: invest your money in my company. I can't guarantee a high annualized return, but I can certainly ensure six percent. What do you think?"

When Li Haoyu said that...

Zhang Yuxin was stunned.

This sounds like a scam, and most importantly, Li Haoyu's attitude is too casual.

How can anyone believe that?

Guan Juer's eyes lit up.

"Yes, I didn't expect the solution to be so simple."

Guan Juer's big eyes were fixed on Zhang Yuxin.

For the first time, she, who had always been in control, felt the pressure.

She could only stammer out the words.

"Maybe I should just forget about it. I can't afford to gamble with this little bit of money. After all, I'm a girl, so I'd better just keep it in the bank. That's safer."

"I agree with you. Let's forget about investing."

Li Haoyu expressed his agreement and turned to Guan Juer.

"You should learn more from your colleagues in this regard, and always prioritize stability."

"Girls should be down-to-earth."

This completely blocked Zhang Yuxin's path to back out.

Even if she changed her mind, it would be too late.

Zhang Yuxin still had a smile on her face.

But her smile looked somewhat forced.

"Of course, people can't earn money beyond their understanding. I'd better just work hard."

Li Haoyu said, "A person as insightful as you is becoming increasingly rare in this restless society. Besides, my company has good profits, but the risks are also considerable."

Zhang Yuxin finally couldn't hold back anymore when she heard this.

"I've always enjoyed playing games. I wonder what kind of games your company makes? I'd like to give it a try."

Li Haoyu waved his hand.

"Then you're probably going to be disappointed. The only popular game in our company right now is a mobile game. You've probably already played 'Endless Battle,' so there's nothing new about it."

Zhang Yuxin was stunned.

She took out her phone in disbelief.

"Is this really 'Endless Battle'?"

Li Haoyu said to Guan Juer.

"Then we'll go cycling, otherwise it'll be dark."

Guan Juer nodded.

"Then we'll be going now."

Zhang Yuxin remained rooted to the spot.

Guan Juer caught up with Li Haoyu on her bicycle.

"You said that on purpose."

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be a little smarter than I thought?"

Guan Juer pouted.

"I figured it out a long time ago, but I just pretended not to know."

"So you're a sly devil."
