"How is that possible? This house costs 50 million to acquire!"
Zhao Xinqiang felt his understanding was completely subverted.
He couldn't help but turn around and scrutinize Su Yi again, genuinely unable to believe that during college, the ordinary classmate who only knew how to bury himself in books, had good grades, and was slightly handsomer than him, but otherwise had no particular merits.
Suddenly transformed into the owner of a top-tier luxury residence in Modu.
A young rich man who lived in the same community as him, with even better living environment and conditions.
"Mr. Su, thank you very much for supporting our work."
After Su Yi signed the contract, the property manager said respectfully and with a smile,
"In the future, if you have any needs at home, you can simply call us. We have assigned a dedicated butler to each owner."
As the property manager spoke.
A young woman with a beautiful face and excellent demeanor, standing beside the property manager, also smiled and said,
"I am your dedicated property butler, Xiao He. Mr. Su, if you have any property-related needs in the future, I will serve you wholeheartedly. Here are my contact details and WeChat. If you have anything, you can contact me by phone, WeChat, or directly through the in-room property hotline voice call."
Saying that, the woman handed Su Yi her contact number and WeChat information.
Su Yi nodded, added her WeChat and contact number, and then the property manager said "Sorry to have bothered you" before leaving.
"High-end communities are really different. Even the property butlers are so pretty."
After seeing the property team leave, the image of the property butler named 'Xiao He' flashed through Zhou Jiahao's mind, and he sighed enviously.
"Not just pretty, but also a 211 graduate."
Tu Hongyong glanced curiously at the business card in Su Yi's hand about 'Xiao He' and said.
"Holy crap, when did society become so competitive?"
Zhou Jiahao complained, helplessly saying,
"Even 211 graduates are getting into property management."
"Can property management for top-tier luxury residences be the same as for ordinary communities?"
Tu Hongyong said,
"I estimate that with just a 211 degree, without other advantages, it wouldn't be easy to become a property butler in this community. Sigh... the pressure of social competition is indeed getting greater and greater."
"CEO Su, brothers will probably have to follow you from now on."
After witnessing Su Yi's exaggerated speed of wealth accumulation, Zhou Jiahao was filled with admiration and said,
"Your speed of wealth accumulation truly makes my eyes red with envy. Tell me... how can I live in such a luxury residence? You should show your buddy a clear path!"
"I know,"
A classmate in a dark shirt chuckled,
"Just master the 'steel wool' technique and find a rich woman."
"Oh my god... Liang Xu, your taste is too extreme."
Tu Hongyong exclaimed,
"A luxury residence acquired that way, Jiahao probably couldn't handle it!"
"You two, get as far away as possible."
Zhou Jiahao said,
"I'm talking serious business with CEO Su."
Su Yi smiled and said,
"I don't know either. Why don't you ask Young Master Zhao if he has any connections?"
"I don't have any connections,"
Zhao Xinqiang said,
"But following CEO Su and making a fortune in stock index futures might be possible."
"Stock index futures are pretty much obsolete now,"
Tu Hongyong said.
"Personal accounts are restricted from opening new positions, so it's no longer possible to use stock index futures to make huge profits from extreme market fluctuations.
Sigh... I have to say, Su Yi, you're truly amazing. You completely seized that arbitrage opportunity in the financial market within such a short period."
Just as Zhou Jiahao had said.
These classmates of theirs, without status or background.
They were truly red-eyed with envy over how Su Yi had leveraged stock index futures during the market crash to reap massive profits, instantly accumulating tens of millions in wealth.
If Zhao Xinqiang's privileged life came from being born into it, they couldn't envy that.
But Su Yi's path from a commoner to owning a top-tier luxury residence in Modu clearly showed them hope.
They saw that as long as they could seize an opportunity, they too could go against the current, achieve a leap in status and social class, and firmly establish themselves in the city of Modu.
"There are many opportunities in the financial market, but not everyone has the same courage as Su Yi,"
Xu Xiaopeng sighed softly and said.
He knew best how Su Yi accumulated his first pot of gold.
After all, when Su Yi was trading stock index futures with leverage, he was the account's risk control manager, meticulously overseeing the growth of Su Yi's trading account step by step.
That thrilling fluctuation of gains and losses.
He admitted that even with Su Yi's trading skills, he wouldn't have the courage or temperament to hold positions for so long without closing them amidst extreme market volatility, ultimately earning so much profit.
Therefore, he believed Su Yi's success was not accidental, but rather due to his abilities being far, far superior to his own.
Of course, even so.
Seeing the scene before him, seeing this top-tier luxury residence in Modu that he would never forget.
He still couldn't help but feel envious.
Similarly, while the impression of Su Yi among the male students drastically changed, their perceptions practically subverted.
The few female students were also full of envy, and Huang Liling even thought resentfully, why, during college, when she clearly had a slight crush on Su Yi, did she not gather the courage to actively pursue him?
If she had pursued him, if Su Yi had agreed.
Wouldn't this top-tier luxury residence, which she now envied so much and had never even dreamed of, also be partly hers?
"Sigh..."
Thinking of this, Huang Liling couldn't help but let out a sigh.
She silently cursed herself for being truly foolish back then, having wasted such an opportunity to turn her life around.
Even though Su Yi didn't have a girlfriend now, she knew that the current Su Yi was no longer the Su Yi from college.
Su Yi at this stage, after completing his wealth accumulation.
It was no longer possible for him to be interested in an ordinary girl like her, who was plain in appearance and had no outstanding abilities or family background.
Just as all the classmates were filled with shock, changing their address for Su Yi from "classmate" to "CEO Su".
The other few late-arriving classmates also arrived.
"Young Master Zhao, isn't your family in the other building next door? When did you move to this one?"
Yang Liqing, who had just entered the room, leading the two beautiful women Shen Qingmei and Mu Qingmo, hadn't quite understood the situation yet.
After a quick glance at the layout of the entire house, his gaze immediately turned to Zhao Xinqiang.
"This house's layout seems better than your family's other house when I visited last week. Both the lighting and the view are more expansive, and looking out from here... it's truly a golden view of Huangpu Bay and the Bund.
Uncle and Auntie are truly generous. They've already gotten you another top-tier luxury residence so quickly. Which girl have you fallen for, to buy a new house with such a lavish gesture?
It wouldn't be Mu Qingmo, our class beauty, would it? You specifically told me to invite Miss Mu over, and I sensed something fishy. And sure enough..."
Zhao Xinqiang saw Yang Liqing talking serious nonsense.
Even though he had a good relationship with him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes a few times and said,
"I asked you to come over because I wanted you to witness CEO Su's grand gesture."
"CEO Su?"
Yang Liqing's face showed a surprised look.
Zhao Xinqiang nodded slightly, turned his gaze to Su Yi, and said,
"I can't afford a 50 million house. This house is CEO Su's doing."
"Su Yi?"
Yang Liqing's mouth hung open.
For a moment, an extremely shocked expression froze on his face.
At the same time, Shen Qingmei and Mu Qingmo, who were behind him, also showed incredulous expressions on their faces after hearing Zhao Xinqiang's words.
Especially Mu Qingmo.
She gazed intently at Su Yi, simply unable to believe that what Zhao Xinqiang said was true.
After all, she was very familiar with Su Yi's family background.
Let alone such a top-tier luxury residence, she didn't even believe Su Yi could afford the most ordinary house in Modu.
"Wow, Su Yi, when did you become CEO Su? You've gotten rich so quickly."
After Shen Qingmei came back to her senses, seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, she had mostly believed it and couldn't help but ask.
Su Yi smiled and replied,
"When did I get rich? I just made a little bit of money, just enough to acquire this property in Modu."
"Alright, a small sum of 50 million,"
Zhou Jiahao said.
"CEO Su's perspective is indeed extraordinary."
"Since everyone's here and it's getting late, why don't we find a place to eat first?"
Tu Hongyong saw that Zhao Xinqiang, as the organizer of today's classmate gathering, was completely overshadowed by Su Yi and must be feeling somewhat uncomfortable, so he intervened,
"Then, everyone can eat and chat."
"Works!"
Everyone responded one after another.
Zhao Xinqiang, seeing that everyone proposed it, went along with it, smiling,
"Okay, let's eat first, and chat while we eat."
Saying that, everyone left Su Yi's house.
Everyone arrived at the community garage.
Zhao Xinqiang originally wanted to invite Mu Qingmo into his car.
But unexpectedly, before he could even speak, Mu Qingmo, pulled by Huang Liling, squeezed into Su Yi's Cayenne, leaving him feeling foolish.
And before he could react, Zhou Jiahao had already squeezed into his flashy red Ferrari.
This made him even more depressed.
"Why don't you squeeze into Yang Liqing's car?"
Zhao Xinqiang shot Zhou Jiahao a glare.
"There's still space in Liqing's car."
Zhou Jiahao said,
"Yang Liqing and Shen Qingmei are all lovey-dovey. How could I intrude? Besides, we shared a bed in college, and now that I finally have a rich friend, can't I enjoy the taste of riding in a Ferrari? Is this seat specifically reserved for Mu Qingmo?
Then I understand, you kid... you came here today for Qingmo, but unfortunately... it seems Su Yi snatched her away."
"Bringing up what shouldn't be mentioned,"
Zhao Xinqiang glared at Zhou Jiahao.
Without waiting for the other person to sit firmly, he floored the accelerator and sped off.
When they arrived at the dining place and everyone was seated, Huang Liling, who had a good relationship with Mu Qingmo, whether intentionally or unintentionally, kept pushing Mu Qingmo towards Su Yi.
This nearly made Zhao Xinqiang explode with anger, and he didn't enjoy the entire meal much.
However, what depressed him even more was that even though he wasn't happy, because he had already promised his classmates that he would pay for dinner that night, he still had to grudgingly maintain face and pay for everyone's meal.
But afterwards, he found a reasonable excuse to ditch the original plan of going to sing karaoke.
Su Yi originally had no interest in such gatherings, and seeing that the organizer Zhao Xinqiang wasn't going, he naturally wouldn't go either.
As for the other classmates...
Seeing that the two major moneybags weren't going, there was even less need to go.
So, after exchanging a few simple greetings, everyone dispersed.
Returning to the community garage, Su Yi and Zhao Xinqiang arrived almost simultaneously.
After the two parked their cars, Zhao Xinqiang, unable to save face entirely, still greeted Su Yi.
Then, he locked his car and was about to walk towards the elevator of his building.
At this moment, a familiar black Bentley suddenly stopped next to his red Ferrari.
Immediately, with the driver respectfully opening the door, a middle-aged man in a suit, whose appearance was quite similar to his, stepped out of the car.
"Dad,"
Zhao Xinqiang called out happily.
However, the middle-aged man glanced at him indifferently but ignored him, walking directly towards Su Yi, who had also not yet left.
"CEO Su, what a coincidence!"
The middle-aged man smiled, extending his hand to greet Su Yi.
"Do you also live here?"
