The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 61

"Ma Yunteng".

To everyone's surprise, before Ma Jian could even begin his self-introduction, Lin Shike walked over to Ma Yunteng, smoothed her flowing black hair, and swiftly reached out to shake hands with him.

Ma Jian was stunned.

Ignore it, blatantly ignore it!

His facial muscles twitched involuntarily. He was always the one who ignored others, but today he was being ignored by someone else, and the person ignoring him was shaking hands with Ma Yunteng!

He was furious. If it weren't for his composure, he would have ordered his men to rush up and teach Ma Yunteng a lesson!

"Excuse me, is that a black rose you're holding?" Lin Shike asked gently with a smile.

"Huh?" Ma Yunteng didn't know what she was talking about. This bouquet of flowers was sent from Feng Defeng's residence. He didn't know anything about flowers, so he didn't know anything about black roses or white roses.

Mu Qianxue walked over, covering her mouth and nose, and glared at him murderously. "Yun Teng, can you take this bouquet of roses away? I'm allergic to roses. Are you trying to kill me?!"

"Sister Xue, put your hand down. Black roses aren't roses, so don't worry about allergies!"

Seeing Mu Qianxue's nervous expression, Lin Shike chuckled and explained, "In a narrow sense, the black rose is not a type of rose. It doesn't have the fragrance of a rose, but is a tasteless herbaceous plant that lives in the desert region of South Africa!"

This plant is extremely fragile; those that survive have all endured scorching sun, making it a very precious and potent source of yang energy!

Upon hearing this, Mu Qianxue lowered her hand as if possessed. Since Lin Shike said so, she didn't need to worry. After all, Lin Shike had been an encyclopedia that left her speechless since high school. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe her as knowing everything from astronomy to geography.

"Hey, can you two let go of each other's hands now?" Mu Qianxue suddenly said, because Ma Yunteng and Lin Shike had been shaking hands for a minute and still showed no sign of letting go!

“Ahem,” Ma Yunteng chuckled awkwardly and released his grip.

At this moment, Ma Jian looked at the scene before him, his face turning from green to purple. These three people were really too much, completely ignoring him!

He narrowed his eyes and gave his subordinate a wink. The subordinate immediately stepped forward, curled his lip, and looked at Ma Yunteng, saying, "Heh, you dare to show off a bunch of tattered flowers? Our Brother Jian gave us the Qianyu Ming Diamond, worth over five million. How can your bunch of flowers compare?"

"Black roses aren't just broken flowers!"

When Lin Shike heard someone say that the flowers in Ma Yunteng's hand were tattered, she immediately found it ridiculous. She could tell that the people around her seemed to be full of hostility towards Ma Yunteng, but in her eyes, Ma Yunteng was definitely the most prestigious and wealthiest man present. Putting everything else aside, this bouquet of black roses alone could explain everything.

She cleared her throat and said softly, "When my supervisor and I were attending a mathematics conference abroad, a wealthy man wanted to give my supervisor a bouquet of black roses, but my supervisor refused because black roses are too precious and my supervisor did not want to accept such an expensive gift!"

"Expensive? I only realized how beautiful Miss Lin is after meeting her in person today! She's also incredibly witty! How expensive can a bouquet of flowers be? Is it more expensive than this ring of mine?" Ma Jian stepped forward and said disdainfully.

“I never joke with people who aren’t friends.” Lin Shike’s pristine face gradually darkened. She never wanted to deal with such sycophantic people. She cleared her throat and continued, “Each petal of the black rose is worth over ten million!”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt their ears ringing.

A single petal can cost over ten million?

If Lin Shike's words are true, then this bouquet of roses would cost at least 200 million!

However, the next sentence almost made everyone faint.

“Ten million was the price three years ago. If it were now, it would probably have doubled by now!” Lin Shi’s unquestionable voice rang out in the banquet hall, and the atmosphere immediately became quiet.

Ma Jian's face had turned completely green. Just now he had been treating Ma Yunteng as a penniless and lowly country bumpkin, but now he realized that he was just a clown who couldn't find any sense of existence!

"Wow, a single petal costs over ten million! Poverty really does limit my imagination!"

"Compared to this... the Qianyu Mingzuan is nothing at all..."

"I'll stop talking about everything else and let me hiss for a bit first!"

Everyone felt like their brains had short-circuited; if someone else had said that, they might not have believed it.

But the person who said this is Lin Shike! So many prestigious families want to marry her, who would dare to question what such a person says?

"Yun Teng, you should take these flowers back. They're too valuable; I can't accept them!" Mu Qianxue knew her cousin was now wealthy, but with his new internet cafe, he must need money for many things.

"It's just a bouquet of flowers, it's not worth much!"

Ma Yunteng smiled slightly and said to her calmly, "If you don't like it, I'll just throw it in the trash. Oh, and there's another gift I want to give you!"

As he spoke, Ma Yunteng took out a black box, and when he opened it, a milky white object was revealed to everyone.

Everyone who saw it was utterly shocked!

chewing gum!

Ha ha!

It was still drooling!

Holy crap, at someone's birthday party, they're giving out freshly chewed gum!

Mu Qianxue's face gradually turned pale, and a million curses were running through her mind.

Everyone was laughing, but Lin Shike remained expressionless, her beautiful eyes flashing as she looked at Ma Yunteng.

[Ding: Surprise from Lin Shike +1000.]

"Yun Teng, what is this?" Mu Qianxue frowned in confusion. If he really gave her a piece of chewing gum, then she and her cousin would undoubtedly become a laughing stock.

Who gives chewing gum to someone's birthday party? And there was even saliva on the surface of that chewing gum!

"Qianxue, your boyfriend's gift is really unique, even giving you chewing gum?"

"Yeah, Qianxue, your boyfriend is hilarious."
