I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property
Chapter 419: Not Being Willful is Not Giving Me Face
Ever since the private airport in Jiangnan City was constructed, today had been its busiest day. Zhang Menglong's nineteen private jets were all parked here, accompanied by over a hundred crew members and pilots, marking the biggest flight mission the airport had seen in years!
Dozens of vehicles were parked in the airport parking lot, as youths dressed in various styles, carrying luggage and backpacks, disembarked from one luxury car after another.
"Hi, good to see you all—I'm Zhang Menglong's junior high classmate."
"Hahaha, nice to meet you—I'm his college roommate!"
"I met him at a tutoring class."
"I know him from cutting Budweiser beer bottles."
"I'm his online friend; we met in a resource exchange group!"
"Bro, I have a friend who wants to join the group, give him an invite."
...
Even before Zhang Menglong arrived, his friends had already started chatting in small groups.
When they found out Zhang Menglong was the world's richest man, their jaws dropped in disbelief. Having been invited by him was quite flattering—after all, most of them came from ordinary families. Even the wealthy ones among them were nowhere near Zhang Menglong's league.
Because the topic of Zhang Menglong was so explosive, everyone talked as if they were long-time friends, completely unbeknownst to each other.
"Tsk tsk, a world's richest man had been right by my side for four years and I had no clue!"
"Dammit, I was his elementary school classmate for six years and I didn't know he was so rich! You know, back then he even borrowed money from me to buy spicy strips—he couldn't afford a pack that cost only fifty cents at that time, and he still hasn't paid me back!"
"You guys don't know how poor this guy was before, always taking advantage of us. If it weren't for the videos and photos online, I'd suspect someone with the same name was trying to scam us!"
"We definitely need to give him a good tease this time. We haven't been in touch for so many years, and now he suddenly remembers us."
"Hahaha, exactly!"
"Here he comes!"
Amid roaring sounds, a limited edition Aston Martin Valkyrie parked inside the airport, and Zhang Menglong, sporting sunglasses and looking very dashing, stepped out of the car.
"Comrades, hello. You've all worked hard!" Zhang Menglong waved and walked towards the crowd.
"Goodness, this guy hasn't changed at all, just like before!"
"You scoundrel!" cried Zhang Menglong's roommate Xu Li as he and others rushed up and grabbed Zhang Menglong by the neck.
"How long has it been since you've been back to the dorm, hmm? Now you remember us?"
"Exactly, just leaving such a huge company in our hands and acting all hands-off. We're under a lot of pressure, you know?"
"Yeah, the Nas Group we're talking about, with thousands of employees. The most we used to manage was leading a student council department with just over a dozen people. I'm spending every day reading for an MBA now, half a year already, do you know how we've been living these past months?"
"Alright, alright!" Zhang Menglong quickly broke free from their mock assault, "If you don't want to manage, then give me back my shares and go back to your jobs!"
"Hahaha, no, we're just kidding!"
"Really, Menglong, you've been stirring up trouble everywhere lately, you must be exhausted. Let me give you a shoulder rub!"
"Dad, what's our route to Kaibong like? Does it include a visit to any adult entertainment stores? I want to check in; I've heard there's a Tiger's Den shop where my idol, Momotani Teacher, works!"
...
Zhang Menglong's other friends and classmates were green with envy. What does it mean when one man prospers and his companions rise to heaven?
They had just heard clearly, Zhang Menglong had actually transferred half of his company's shares to his three roommates! The Nas Group, a publicly-listed company with billions in Huaxia currency in assets, and he just gave it to them like that?
But she's a roommate, having lived and dined together for many years, their relationship is much stronger than ours. You can't envy that!
"Haha, thanks everyone for coming today, long time no see!" Zhang Menglong greeted everyone one by one. Although he might not have seen some for many years, he could still call out their names when he saw them.
"Hahaha, when Zhang sir is treating, how could we not show our respect?"
"Exactly, plus we haven't started working yet, the reevaluation tests are nearly done, and most have almost started their internships. It's just about taking a few days off, right?"
"No worries, I will compensate for the loss caused by these days off," Zhang Menglong chuckled, "Hong Yi, go see where they are all working. If it's under my companies, have someone take extra care of them. If it's other companies, pull some strings to give them a nudge. If they don't comply, just buy them out."
"Got it, Mr. Zhang, I'll arrange for someone to handle it," Hong Yi nodded.
Happiness truly came too suddenly!
Actually, many people took great risks to come here today.
You should know, how fierce the competition in society is and how difficult it is to get a suitable internship. Zhang Menglong had arranged a plan for more than a week. A week without going to an internship would significantly affect their conversion assessments.
But this time, it wasn't with others, but with Zhang Menglong, the richest man in the world. A little leakage from his fingertips was enough for them to lavish for a lifetime. Such an opportunity to climb the social ladder isn't always available!
Unless they were someone who previously had bad relations with Zhang Menglong, anyone who refused his invitation was absolutely foolish!
Clearly, they all made the right gamble now. With the connections arranged by Zhang Menglong, wouldn't they skyrocket in their own companies? A friend of the boss; who wouldn't show them some respect?
"Is everything arranged?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"All set," Hong Yi nodded, "Shall we leave now?"
"Let's get ready to leave."
"Okay," Hong Yi took out his phone and sent a message. Along with a series of orderly footsteps, hundreds of flight attendants walked over methodically.
"Holy shit! This body, this face? Incredible! Are these really flight attendants?"
"Aren't these supermodels maybe? That's the level of Victoria's Secret, right?"
"What the hell! Isn't that Angeli? Last year's global beauty pageant champion, why is she here working as a flight attendant?"
"Whimper, that pilot is so handsome! I really want to ask for his WeChat."
"Being rich is truly blissful!"
...
"Let's go, everyone pick one!" Zhang Menglong pointed to the luxurious private jets and said, "10 people per jet, otherwise it'll be too crowded."
"Crowded?" Everyone showed a bitter smile. These were Boeing 747s converted into private jets, each able to carry hundreds of passengers. Now with only 10 people each, crowded?
"This time, make sure to eat, drink and play well. If you don't have fun, it means you are not respecting me!"
"Then we certainly won't hold back!" Zhang Menglong's friends laughed one after another, "Are we going to eat you into bankruptcy this time?"
"Bankruptcy? Even if Huaxia Bank goes bankrupt, he wouldn't!"
"You could eat through generations and he still wouldn't go bankrupt!"
"Hahaha," Zhang Menglong laughed, "Don't worry, this time it's not me who's paying. Someone from Kaibong will take care of us!"
"Ah? Who? A friend of yours?" roommate Xu Li curiously asked.
"Hehe, keeping it a secret for now. You'll see when we get there," Zhang Menglong chuckled, "Don't you dare save money on my account. The more indulgent, the better. If it's not extravagant enough, that means you're not respecting me. I'll be furious!"
