Chapter 246 Absolutely True
Zhang Jianguo stood there, his mind racing, but he just couldn't figure it out.
He looked at Li Ze in front of him, pointed at him, and kept repeating the same sentence:
"Brother-in-law, you're not kidding me, are you? Is what you're saying true?"
After asking once, he followed up with the question a second time:
"Is it really true? Are you sure you're not joking?"
Li Ze smiled when he saw his brother-in-law's completely incredulous expression.
He nodded very seriously and replied:
"Brother, when have I ever joked with you? Every word I said is true. Absolutely true."
When Zhang Jianguo heard Li Ze's affirmative answer, he turned to look at his younger sister Zhang Ruoran standing next to him.
He looked into Ruoran's eyes, trying to find a "your husband is bragging" expression on her face.
But when Ruoran saw her brother looking terrified, she just smiled.
She spoke very calmly:
"Brother, he's telling the truth. He really is very rich. More than you can imagine."
Ruoran said this very calmly.
After all, when she first learned how much money Li Ze had, she also went through the process of going from disbelief to gradual acceptance.
She understood all too well how her brother was feeling.
When Zhang Jianguo heard that even his own sister had said so, he finally stopped asking whether it was true or not.
He stood there, one hand on his forehead, and let out a long sigh.
Wang Xiufen, who was standing next to her, finally realized what was happening.
She stepped forward, looked at Li Ze, and asked with great curiosity:
"Brother-in-law, what kind of business do you run? How do you make so much money?"
Li Ze looked at his sister-in-law and thought for a moment.
If you were to list all his businesses one by one, the list alone could take half an hour to explain.
Apple, Porsche, JPMorgan Chase, Yaohui Group, and many more.
But now is clearly not the time to talk about these things.
Li Ze simply replied with a very casual remark:
"It's all about luck and opportunity. There wasn't much at the beginning, I just seized a few good opportunities. Then, step by step, it grew bigger and bigger."
Wang Xiufen nodded upon hearing this answer.
Although she felt the answer was too general and lacked any information.
But she also knew that there was no way to explain how much money someone could earn in just a few words.
So I didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, Zhang Zixuan, who had been standing quietly to the side, spoke up.
She looked at Li Ze with eyes full of admiration.
She said loudly:
"Uncle, you are amazing! Not only can you earn so much money, but you also managed to find such a good hospital to cure my illness."
Zhang Zixuan tilted her head and thought for a moment as she finished speaking.
Then she said to Li Ze very seriously:
"Uncle, can I learn from you in the future? I'd like to learn how you do business."
Li Ze looked at Zhang Zixuan and felt that his niece was a completely different person compared to when she was in China.
She used to stay in her room all day without saying a word, and you could rarely even see her smile.
Now she not only initiates conversations with people, but she has also expressed a desire to learn how to do business.
This change made Li Ze very happy.
Li Ze smiled at Zhang Zixuan and answered very readily:
"Of course, no problem. Whether you want to learn something from me in the future, or you want to start your own business, I will do my best to help you."
When Zhang Zixuan heard that her uncle had agreed, she jumped for joy.
She turned to look at her parents and said loudly:
"Dad! Mom! Did you hear that? Uncle agreed!"
Seeing their daughter so happy, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Xiufen smiled too.
Although they still haven't fully processed what Li Ze said.
But seeing her daughter so happy, and seeing the whole family smiling, was a wonderful experience.
They felt that was enough.
After everyone had finished celebrating, Li Ze checked the time and said:
"Alright, now that we're in New York, I'll take you to Long Island. You don't need to stay in that apartment anymore; just cancel the lease."
When Zhang Jianguo heard Li Ze say this, he thought about it for a moment.
Living in my brother-in-law's estate is definitely much better than living in that small, expensive apartment.
Moreover, since his brother-in-law has already extended the invitation, it would seem too formal for him to refuse.
Zhang Jianguo nodded:
"Okay, let's go back and cancel the apartment reservation, and pack our things."
Wang Xiufen echoed:
"Okay, let's hurry back and pack. We need to pack up all the spare clothes and stuff inside."
Li Ze said to them:
"You guys go ahead and get busy. Ruoran and I will wait for you here. Once you're done, we'll head out together."
Zhang Jianguo said "okay," and then got into the white Highlander with Wang Xiufen and Zhang Zixuan.
After starting the car, it drove off in the direction of the apartment they had previously rented.
After the brother-in-law's family left.
Only Li Ze and Ruoran remained by the roadside.
The two of them stood at the entrance of the breakfast shop.
The sunshine felt very warm on my skin.
Ruoran stood there, head down, thinking for a while.
Then she looked up at Li Ze beside her.
She asked:
"Li Ze, is it true that you own a manor on Long Island?"
Li Ze turned to look at Ruoran and smiled.
"What? Even you don't believe me anymore?"
Ruoran shook her head, not because she didn't believe it.
She just found it all too incredible.
She said earnestly to Li Ze:
"It's not that I don't believe you. I just think the idea of having a manor on Long Island is too unreal."
Ruoran paused for a moment, then looked down at the white sneakers she was wearing.
She went on to say:
"You know, the best house I've ever lived in is the duplex you bought in Beichen Garden. And that house is already very, very big for me."
"Honestly, I never even dreamed that I would be able to live in a manor someday."
When Li Ze heard Ruoran say that, he felt a pang of heartache.
He knew all too well what kind of places he had lived in over the past eighteen years.
I lived in the tin shack for six years, and in the old, dilapidated house for many years.
For her, even an ordinary duplex apartment is already a very, very luxurious thing.
Not to mention the estates on Long Island.
Li Ze looked at Ruoran and gently took her hand in his.
He smiled and said to Ruoran:
"Why is it impossible? You had nothing before, that was because I was incompetent. Now that I have money, even if you want to build a palace on the moon, I can arrange it all for you."
Ruoran couldn't help but laugh when she heard Li Ze say something like "building the Guanghan Palace on the moon".
She gently nudged Li Ze with her hand and said with a smile:
"Haha, stop joking around. Building a palace on the moon? How is that even possible?"
But Li Ze looked at Ruoran, who was smiling, and did not smile along.
His expression, however, became very serious.
He looked into Ruoran's eyes and said very seriously:
"I'm not kidding. I'm serious. If you really want one, I can absolutely find a way to build one for you on the moon."
Hearing Li Ze's serious tone, she smiled and then suddenly fell silent for some reason.
She looked into the eyes of the man in front of her.
That look in his eyes was incredibly serious.
It doesn't sound like a joke at all.
For some reason, Ruoran suddenly became serious as well.
She looked at Li Ze and said:
You can't lie to me.
Li Ze replied:
I'm not lying to you.
Ruoran thought for a few seconds.
Then she raised her chin, looked into Li Ze's eyes, and said, word by word:
"Alright. I need you to promise me one thing. We'll hold our wedding in the Moon Palace a month from now."
Li Ze looked at Ruoran's very serious expression.
He didn't hesitate for a second.
His first response was:
"If you're serious, then it's settled."
If you stare into his eyes:
"I'm serious."
Li Ze nodded:
"Okay, I promise."
After saying these two sentences.
The two stared at each other for several seconds.
Then Ruoran suddenly burst out laughing.
She reached out and slapped Li Ze's arm, saying loudly:
"Haha, I was just joking to tease you. Why did you take it so seriously?"
Ruoran shook her head while laughing:
"Building a palace on the moon? How is that even possible? You're not Chang'e."
After laughing for a while, Ruoran turned around and looked back at Li Ze, who was still standing in the same spot, as she walked forward.
She said with a smile:
"Alright, alright, stop standing there like an idiot. We'll set off once our older brother and the others get back."
Li Ze stood there, watching Ruoran's smiling figure walk away.
He also had a smile on his face.
But in his heart, he had already carefully memorized what Ruoran had just said.
The Guanghan Palace on the moon.
The wedding was held there a month later.
Ruoran thought she was joking.
But for Li Ze, he never took it as a joke.
He was silently making plans in his mind.
The goal is to build a structure large enough to host a wedding on the moon within a month.
This is, of course, a pipe dream for ordinary people.
But for him, there is only one answer to this question.
This is, of course, a pipe dream for ordinary people.
But for him, there is only one answer to this question.
That is, whether he has enough resources at his disposal.
He has an army of 100,000 cyborgs.
He has the most advanced technology in the world.
He even has that space company's low Earth orbit project.
A month is indeed a very tight timeframe.
But it's not entirely impossible.
Li Ze was thinking to himself:
"A month should be enough time. Once we get to the manor, we'll discuss this matter with Old Man Yi."
Thinking of this, Li Ze's lips curled up slightly.
Then he strode forward and quickly caught up with Ruoran, who was walking ahead.
