Chapter 430: Chapter 430
However, he had bragged and Qi Heng had even wanted to use this as a chance to get closer to Anna, with the aim of taking Xu Hao's fortune, so he naturally had to pony up the cash.
After sitting down, he immediately said, "Brother Xu Hao, what kind of business does your family do?"
Anna saw that just a glance at Xu Hao's watch made them think Xu Hao was very wealthy, and she secretly laughed to herself.
Xu Hao usually didn't wear a watch, but this morning as he was leaving, Anna casually grabbed a watch Qin Yao had bought for Xu Hao from the villa and helped him put it on. Xu Hao didn't refuse.
What Qi Heng didn't know was that this watch was almost the cheapest among the collection, some watches were worth tens of millions. When they were delivered to Jing'an, a few of the girls had gathered around and ogled them for a long time.
Xu Hao glanced at him indifferently and casually said, "Real estate."
"It's real estate, no wonder Brother Xu Hao is so rich. These days, real estate is really lucrative!" Qi Heng couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's average. My husband just took over a piece of land worth one billion yuan recently. I'm not sure if we can still make money after building the houses," Jiang Xuezhun added fuel to the fire.
Qi Heng immediately looked at Xu Hao and saw that Xu Hao even nodded slightly. He was instantly stunned. They were that wealthy!
Qi Heng was immediately filled with excitement. Although he was Cao An's distant cousin and their relationship was quite good, the Cao Family was not just Cao An's family alone; there were many areas where he couldn't help him, so he had to rely on his own family.
But the Qi Family was just an ordinary family. How could it support his grand ambitions?
However, the Xu family, being extremely wealthy, might be able to help him.
But, if Xu Hao's family could afford a piece of land worth one billion yuan, then the price of the watch Xu Hao was wearing might be relatively low compared to his net worth, right?
Jiang Xuezhun sighed and said, "Ah! It's a pity, my husband's family values strict upbringing, he only gets Five Hundred Thousand Yuan a month for pocket money. Merely five hundred thousand yuan, what can that do? It's gone after buying me just two bags!"
Xu Hao immediately played along, making an extremely annoyed expression that almost made Anna burst out laughing.
Qi Heng's heart was deeply shocked again. Five hundred thousand yuan a month for pocket money, yet he finds it too little!
He only had ten thousand yuan a month for his own pocket money!
Five hundred thousand, that was fifty times his amount!
His own five years of pocket money was just another's one month!
He suddenly felt the disparity, but far from being discouraged, he was extremely delighted. The wealthier Xu Hao's family, the more benefits he could gain once he won Anna over.
But all of this assumed he would have sufficient funds, so at this moment, Qi Heng was already thinking about how to ask for money from his family.
As a sumptuous meal was served, Anna and the others were eating with relish while Qi Heng found an excuse to slip out.
In the restroom, he dialed his father's phone, "Hello, Dad, I have something to tell you, something that can really make our family soar!"
On the other end, Qi Heng's father was eating at home. Excited by Qi Heng's words, he said, "You rascal, you normally just mess around with women, but now you're getting involved in a legitimate opportunity?"
"Absolutely! Your son has grown up. I've got to think about my future."
"So tell me, what could make our Qi Family soar?"
"Let me tell you, I've embraced a fresh start and met a student from out of town. His family is in real estate, very rich. The watch he wears is a 560,000 yuan Patek Philippe, but his family casually buys land worth hundreds of millions. He has a sister here studying, and I want to pursue her, but..."
"I see, you want to climb the social ladder?"
Qi Heng's father pondered for a moment and then said, "Is he really that rich, or is he deceiving you? I'll still ask Cao An; he might know if such a person exists."
Qi Heng immediately urged, "Just keep this between us. What if we just bet on it? If we lose, we don't lose much, but if we succeed, it could be hugely profitable! Besides, if he finds out and the Cao Family thinks we have ulterior motives, and we fail, we might be abandoned. My aunt is with the Cao Family after all; she can't stand with us."

"Haha! Good boy, even more thoughtful than your old man. Alright, we'll take a gamble this time! The timid will starve, the brave will flourish," Qi Heng's father laughed.
"Right! But I need some start-up capital right now. Dad, send me one million yuan first!" Qi Heng said.
"Alright! You can't catch a wolf without baiting the trap. One million yuan it is, but you be careful not to get taken advantage of," his father responded.
"Don't worry, I'm quite the tactician!"
