Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

“This city…” Xiaomeng looked at the map, then at her friends who were all slurping their tea.

Right now, the members of the "Future World Hidden Rich Group" are having a gathering at a manor on the outskirts of Beijing.

When Xiaomeng mentioned the new city where Tang Yulun was working, the friends had something to say.

A friend surnamed Hou said, "That's right, Director Tang is really something now that he's taken over this new district. It's an important trading port. Director Tang must have done something amazing to have such a smooth career."

"Don't call him Director Tang anymore, you should call him District Chief Tang."

"Ah, right, right, now he's District Chief Tang. Isn't it a bit too fast for District Chief Tang to be promoted?"

"Not fast at all. He's still a county-level cadre, isn't he? I heard he was at the same level as his previous community director. This is a lateral transfer." Xiao Meng couldn't understand it either. They were at the same level, so why did these people think Xiao Tang had been promoted?

"Hehe, is that what Xiao Tang told you? That guy can really make things up." Hou Zi chuckled.

Brother Wang, with his social experience and frequent dealings with officials on behalf of his company, explained to Xiaomeng, "Exactly, that kid Tang doesn't speak honestly. Don't let his position as a lowly community director in Beijing fool you; that's because he's in Beijing. He's a Beijing official. So just because he has a small rank doesn't mean he can mess with anyone."

Once you put this out there, just guess how many division-level cadres there are in that city.

That's the big boss sitting on the dais.

He's also the top official in the special economic zone, which is a major trading hub, you know?

Those of us in business should all understand how much power a district head can wield.

Anyway, my husband said that the Tang family patriarch must be grinning from ear to ear in private.

In ancient times, someone like Xiao Tang, who entered the system directly through the national civil service exam, would have had a limitless future and could have even brought his family to prominence.

Xiao Meng was taken aback. "So capable?" She had really thought he was just a community head.

"Hey, it seems that someone higher up has taken a liking to Xiao Tang. Don't be fooled by the fact that he seems to be just being transferred to a lateral position. In reality, that position is a powerful official position, which is definitely a promotion."

That kind of position makes it easy to achieve political success; it seems like Xiao Tang is destined for a meteoric rise.

Someone asked, "Being selected means going to a western border city? Isn't that a bit remote? Shouldn't you be transferred to the economic development zone in Jiangnan?"

Brother Wang was almost amused. "You, don't you even know what kind of place Jiangnan is? Those places aren't so easy to get into. Only the most loyal of the loyalists can get in. Forget it, I won't say anymore. You little guys should get more experience and open your eyes to see the world before you talk."

Xiao Meng understood. "So Xiao Tang got promoted. Then why does he keep video chatting with me saying that the conditions at his current workplace are harsh, and there are hardly any vegetables or fruits to eat, and that he's so pitiful?"

The other kids laughed, and Brother Wang chuckled, "Well, that remote place might really be lacking in supplies. Why don't you go check on him? And bring him some fruit and vegetables while you're at it. It's not like we can't afford to send them."

“Brother Wang, you’re right.” Xiaomeng clapped her hands, picked up her teacup, and poured Brother Wang a cup of tea. “Brother, try this. It’s Phoenix Single-Stage, our family’s staple tea. I specially ordered it from a tea factory. It’s organically grown year-round. My brother-in-law loves it; he even took half to give to his clients.”

Now that everyone is a few years older, they've become more mature and don't like going to nightclubs anymore; instead, they prefer drinking tea at private estates.

Brother Wang chuckled and took a sip. "Not bad, Xiaomeng, how many farms have you set up all over the country? You're even getting custom-made tea from them."

You really are capable.

And this leisure farm you set up is really great; my kids want to come here to play every week.

Xiaomeng was delighted to hear this, "Come on over! My niece loves to come and play too. The place is spacious, and it's more fun for the kids to play together."

"She's recently become obsessed with non-powered amusement parks, so I've commissioned several sets of rides for her. I even hired college students to play with her on weekends, so safety is guaranteed," Xiaomeng said, pointing to a cluster of colorful facilities in the distance.

……

On Friday, Xiaomeng picked up her niece and sister and headed straight to the airport.

A Gulfstream private jet had already completed its pre-flight preparations.

Sister Zhang, who was in the same car, received a phone call. "Miss, the chairman's assistant of Guangtang said that their boss wants to share a flight with us and asked if that's possible."

"Guangtang Group, isn't that Xiao Tang's family?"

"Yes, I heard he's Mr. Tang's uncle. This year, the Tang family just changed its chairman; it's Mr. Donnie now."

"Donnie? I vaguely remember him, they're going too..."

"Yes, Mr. Tang was planning to visit his nephew. Hearing that our flights were heading to the same destination, he came to ask if we could travel together."
