Chapter 1509: Chapter 1507: Zhuo Bufan

"Just tell me how much it costs!" Elder Zhuo asked directly.

"Uncle Zhuo..." Zhuo Bufan looked troubled.

"Give me a price, so I can give you money, otherwise I won’t accept it!" Elder Zhuo bluntly stated.

Zhuo Bufan looked helpless, thought for a moment, and said, "Just give me a thousand!"

Elder Zhuo waved his hand, "Ten thousand! Xiaochen, give him the money!"

"Alright!" Yang Chen took out his phone and said to Zhuo Bufan, "Scan for payment, which app should we use?"

"Uncle Zhuo... this..." Zhuo Bufan was surprised, not expecting Elder Zhuo to make someone else pay. How was this different from the nature of giving a gift?

Elder Zhuo’s attention was all on the fish, not bothering to look at Zhuo Bufan, he directly waved his hand and said, "He’s not like you, it’s fine for him to pay!"

Zhuo Bufan looked puzzled, but still pulled out his phone to let Yang Chen scan to pay.

Elder Zhuo carefully placed the fish into the tank, and seeing it swim joyfully, he immediately became pleased, "It’s really beautiful! But this tank is too small now, I’m thinking of getting a bigger one!"

"Next time, I’ll gift you a big fish tank!" Zhuo Bufan seized the opportunity and said.

"No rush, no rush," Elder Zhuo waved his hand, "It’s not necessary for now."

Yang Chen chimed in from the side, "Uncle Zhuo, if you like fish so much, I can build a glass aquatic room for you, you can move in directly, wouldn’t that be great! You can be neighbors with the headmaster!"

Elder Zhuo became interested immediately and excitedly asked, "What kind of aquatic landscape are we talking about?"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Well, if you like fish, there are so many species of tropical fish. I can make it like a courtyard, with a large three-dimensional water view in the center, simulating a tropical fish environment. It’s indoors, so it’s easier to keep warm, and you can see it as soon as you open your eyes, isn’t that great! And you can see it in the living room, kitchen, study room!"

"That’s great!" Elder Zhuo was very excited.

A puzzled Zhuo Bufan stood stunned.

Elder Zhuo had always been very frugal, never accepting anything, even when Zhuo Bufan gifted fishes, Elder Zhuo would give him money.

But what was up with this man? Offering something so grand, and Elder Zhuo is delighted!

Zhuo Bufan was utterly confused!

Yang Chen continued, "And those large fish like Arowana, I’ll make it into wide walls filled with water, ranging from three to five meters in width, the fish can swim freely across your rooms, isn’t that amazing!"

Elder Zhuo joked, "I’ll just search for fish around the house for fun when I’m free."

"Exactly!" Yang Chen laughed, "Think about it, surrounded by water plants and scenic views, how beautiful! You can hear the gurgling sound of water when you sleep at night, and even hear the fish waving their tails, isn’t that perfect for sleep, you’d have nothing to worry about sleeping!"

"That’s great! Just the thought feels wonderful." Elder Zhuo agreed very much.

"Hold on!" Zhuo Bufan interrupted, "Who are you? Why are you gifting these to Uncle Zhuo?"

Zhuo Bufan stared at Yang Chen with vigilance, then Elder Zhuo said, "Uncle Zhuo! You must not be tempted by external things! You absolutely can’t accept these things! If someone reports this and investigates, it would be really damaging for you!"

Yang Chen chuckled and said, "I’ve been involved in the real estate industry, creating houses like this is quite easy for me, as long as the elder likes it, it doesn’t matter. Uncle Zhuo, I know the most famous designers internationally, you know the business district in Ancheng? They designed it, top-notch quality!"

"Mm hm! Not bad!" Elder Zhuo nodded, very satisfied.

"Uncle Zhuo!" Zhuo Bufan was anxious, "You must not heed his deceit! I’m going to find someone to kick him out immediately!"

"Kick who out!" Elder Zhuo glared, "My son is giving me something, why shouldn’t I accept it! Who dares to investigate me!"

That single sentence left Zhuo Bufan bewildered.

"What did you just say?" Zhuo Bufan couldn’t believe his ears.

Elder Zhuo said solemnly, "He’s my godson! Him gifting me things is filial piety, what’s wrong with that? But you, if you truly want to rise up, do your job well! Don’t spend so much time on these things. I’m an old man, I like these things to spend time with, because I don’t have much time left to contribute anything noteworthy! But you’re different, you’re still young, you have opportunities, you can make more contributions! Don’t waste your time on useless things!"

Zhuo Bufan felt embarrassed and said with his head down, "I... I understand now!"

But he was still unwilling and glanced at Yang Chen.

The Zhuo family had been eyeing Elder Zhuo for a long time. The family wanted him to adopt him, but Elder Zhuo never agreed.

But unexpectedly, Elder Zhuo accepted such a godson.

He truly couldn’t understand what was so good about this young man that Elder Zhuo valued him so much.

Was it just that he was eloquent? Offering a custom aquatic room with a few words!

He felt there was a strong possibility.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Bufan felt a surge of hostility towards Yang Chen.

Elder Zhuo’s stature was prestigious, being close to him meant standing at the top in Flame Country.

Yet, this opportunity was taken by Yang Chen, and Zhuo Bufan was quite displeased.

Although unhappy, Zhuo Bufan’s manners were decent, not showing any unusual emotion on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother, we haven’t introduced ourselves. My name is Zhuo Bufan, currently working in the defense area, and you are..."

Yang Chen smiled and shook hands with Zhuo Bufan, casually saying, "Yang Chen, a businessman."

Hearing this, Ye Xin couldn’t help but chuckle.

Everyone looked at Yang Chen.

Ye Xin waved and said with a smile, "Nothing, I just found it amusing, how you men get acquainted."

Both of them showed a hint of awkwardness.

Elder Zhuo didn’t pay much attention, smiling and satisfied watching the fish in the water.

"Oh!" Elder Zhuo suddenly remembered something and said to Yang Chen, "I’m planning to raise some corals recently, see if you can get me some, I want to make this fish tank more beautiful!"

Yang Chen nodded and said, "No problem."

He only needed to give orders, and things could be found quickly.

Zhuo Bufan was dissatisfied seeing this. He quickly said, "Uncle Zhuo, don’t trouble Brother Yang Chen, I also play with these, know people in the circle, I can get it for you quickly."

"No, no, let Xiaochen do it, he has extensive networks." Elder Zhuo waved his hand.

Zhuo Bufan was unwilling and continued, "Corals should match with the fish, these fishes need special corals, if they’re mismatched, it won’t be suitable."

Elder Zhuo hesitated and asked, "Is that so?"

"Of course! Rest assured, I’ll definitely find suitable, very beautiful corals for you!" Zhuo Bufan promised.

"Alright then!" Elder Zhuo hesitated but agreed, "Remember, don’t spend too much, just let Xiaochen know how much it costs later."

"..." Zhuo Bufan felt like he got a punch in the chest, stifled and unable to speak.

After all that effort, Yang Chen still gets the benefits.
