Chapter 1388: If there is no car, does an airplane count?
As he finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone was stunned. What was this guy talking about? Could his assets be over a hundred billion usd? How was that possible?
Looking at the entire M Country, only those prominent Families could have assets exceeding a hundred billion usd. But this guy was clearly a Huaxia person; he didn't look like a scion of a prominent Family at all.
Jack's eyes widened, "Huaxia person, are you sure you're not joking?"
"Of course not, I'm very serious." Ye Bufan put on a serious expression, then asked, "Quick, tell me, where should I sit?"
Jack angrily said, "Enough! Even if you're boasting, at least make it believable. You claim assets of a hundred billion usd; why don't you just say you're the richest man in Huaxia?"
Ye Bufan slapped his forehead, "Now that you mention it, I just remembered, I really am the richest man in Huaxia."
"The richest man in Huaxia? That's truly amusing." Pirlo scoffed, then looked at Lan Bingyu, "My dear Lan, do you see what kind of person this is beside you now?
Everything he says is a boast; he's simply not worthy of you."
Lan Bingyu shook her head, "You're wrong, everything he says is true."
Although she didn't know if Ye Bufan was the richest man in Huaxia, she was very clear about the significance of Angel Pharmaceuticals. As its boss, his assets must be in the hundreds of billions of usd.
"My God, my dear Lan, you've really been deceived by him." Pirlo said, "How could you believe his words so easily? He's clearly a swindler."
Lan Bingyu didn't speak, but a hint of mockery appeared on her face. If this guy knew that he was calling her boss a swindler in public, what kind of expression would he have?
However, since Ye Bufan didn't reveal his identity, she didn't expose him either.
Pirlo, unaware of these facts, continued, "Lan, you've really been fooled by him. Now I'll prove it to you."
He looked at Ye Bufan, "I drive a Lamborghini, he drives a range rover, he drives a Ferrari 488…"
Pirlo pointed around their table, then asked, "These are proof of our assets being over ten million usd. Since you claim to be worth a hundred billion usd, tell me what car you drive?"
Huang Xiaoqi immediately chimed in, "It has to be in your name; borrowed cars don't count."
As she finished speaking, the people present burst into another round of sneering laughter. Clearly, they also didn't believe what Ye Bufan had said.
"You want to know about cars in my name? I really don't have any."
In M Country,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
as long as he wished, he could mobilize hundreds of luxury cars at will.
But these cars either belonged to Angel Pharmaceuticals, or to the Lawrence Family, or were assets left by the Brown Family; none of them were currently transferred into his name.
"How about that? The fox's tail is out, isn't it?" Before Pirlo could speak, Huang Xiaoqi was the first to laugh arrogantly, "A man who doesn't even own a car actually has the nerve to say he has assets of a hundred billion usd."
Ye Bufan rubbed his nose, seemingly a bit embarrassed, "I don't have a car, but does an airplane count?"
"Uh…"
The people present immediately felt a jolt, then burst into laughter again.
Pirlo said mockingly, "Huaxia, you're too good at bragging. Don't tell me you have a private jet."
Ye Bufan gave him a thumbs up, "You guessed right, but there's no reward."
Huang Xiaoqi said scornfully, "If you have a private jet, then I have a Universe spaceship!"
Ye Bufan didn't directly acknowledge her but looked at Pan Hao beside him, "Da Shao Pan, tell them how you came to M Country?"
Pan Hao's expression froze for a moment, then he said, "I… I came by plane."
Huang Xiaoqi immediately said, "We're talking about you, why bring our A-Hao into this?"
Ye Bufan ignored her and asked again, "Tell them, whose plane did you take?"
Jack said disdainfully, "Whose plane? What kind of question is that? Of course, it's an airline company's plane. Could it possibly be yours?"
Pan Hao opened his mouth, but finally said, "It's… it's his private jet."
He was terrified of Ye Bufan now and could only grit his teeth and tell the truth.
"Uh…"
Now everyone was stunned. No one expected that the other party actually had a private jet.
One should know that although these people had some money in their families, it was only a few million usd. The wealthiest among them, like Pirlo, had at most tens of millions, and even all that money wouldn't be enough to buy one of his private jets.
"Why is everyone so quiet? Do you believe me now? Since no one is telling me where to sit, I'll find a seat myself."
Ye Bufan had a playful look. With a flick of his hand towards the chair in front of him, the stool flew up and landed directly on Pirlo's table.
Then, with a light tap of his foot, he jumped onto the table and sat down on the chair with his legs crossed, looking down at everyone present.
"No choice, too much money, can only sit a bit higher
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
so I can show the difference between me and you guys.
To be honest, this height isn't enough, but unfortunately, the ceiling of the house is too low, so I can't sit any higher."
"I…"
Jack's face was flushed, but he couldn't say anything.
Pirlo's face burned. This whole idea was his own, and it ended up backfiring on him.
At this point, the party couldn't continue, so he simply revealed his true purpose.
He waved to a nearby waiter, and someone immediately brought over a bouquet of fiery red roses.
This bouquet consisted of 99 roses, with a sapphire diamond ring placed in the center of the heart of the flowers.
Pirlo took the roses, knelt on one knee, and presented the flowers to Lan Bingyu.
"My dear Lan, I don't care whether he has money or not, but I have a heart for you that is truer than gold.
Be my girlfriend, I swear to God, I will be good to you for a lifetime!"
Lan Bingyu frowned. She had brought Ye Bufan here precisely to avoid the awkwardness of a direct refusal, but she hadn't expected him to do it anyway.
"Pirlo, we're not suitable, and I already have a boyfriend."
Pirlo didn't give up and remained kneeling, "Lan, you're being unfair to me. I'm sincere towards you…"
Lan Bingyu patiently said, "Pirlo, you and I are just classmates and colleagues, nothing more.
Confessing your feelings in front of my boyfriend like this is disrespectful to him."
"Enough!" Pirlo suddenly flared up, "Lan Bingyu, do you know how much I've done for you?
Your father's company went bankrupt. I knew you needed money, so I worked hard to speak well of you to the company boss, helping you keep your position at Angel Pharmaceuticals and placing you in my sales department.
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have your current high salary, let alone your current position. I gave you all of this, and what has he given you?"
Hearing him say this, Lan Bingyu's expression also darkened. She knew perfectly well how she got into Angel Pharmaceuticals.
When Lu Banxia asked her which department she wanted to join, she chose the sales department, feeling it suited her abilities better.
She hadn't expected to meet Pirlo there; it was a complete coincidence. Now this guy was actually taking credit for it himself, which was utterly shameless.
