CHAPTER 386: CHAPTER 323 CONCERT

The next day, after Li Jing finished washing up and came downstairs, he found Zeng Chao already sitting there.

Seeing Li Jing, Zeng Chao immediately stood up to greet him, "Good morning, President Li. I’m all good now. I’ll continue following you from here on."

Li Jing glanced at Zeng Chao’s bandaged arm, didn’t say much, and asked, "Is there anywhere you’d recommend going today?"

Although Li Jing was touring Hai Province, he hadn’t done any research, so he wasn’t familiar with the attractions here.

Originally, Li Jing planned to pay someone to be his guide, but since Chen Wenwu had assigned Zeng Chao as his assistant, he decided to ask Zeng Chao instead.

Actually, Zeng Chao was more suitable for Li Jing compared to an ordinary tour guide.

Because ordinary tour guides usually only reach places where regular folks can have fun.

These past two days, Li Jing had already visited those places, and he wasn’t that interested in the rest, so he wanted Zeng Chao to recommend some higher-end entertainment spots.

After all, Li Jing knew that the more you spend, the more there is to enjoy.

Sure enough, after making a few calls, Zeng Chao said to Li Jing:

"President Li, there’s a luxury music festival this afternoon, though it might cost quite a bit. Would you like to go?"

"Quite costly?"

Li Jing knew that regular music festival tickets could be bought for a few hundred yuan, but wasn’t sure how much Zeng Chao meant by costly.

Zeng Chao knew about his financial capabilities, and specially reminded him, estimating that the cost wouldn’t be cheap.

Surely, Zeng Chao replied, "The tickets currently on sale are divided into three card types: the Pearl Card for ten thousand, which is only valid for one day. The Jade Card, which offers three days of access, costs a hundred thousand. Then there’s the custom Black Diamond Card, and the price I’ve heard is three hundred thousand."

After hearing this, Li Jing was secretly amazed.

He had anticipated the music festival would be expensive, but didn’t expect it to be this high.

Yet, the high expense intrigued Li Jing about the music festival even more.

"This kind of music festival probably isn’t easy to get into, right?"

Li Jing asked, "Moreover, it’s starting today, can you still get tickets?"

"President Li thinks too highly of me; I definitely can’t get these tickets myself, President Chen has to help. Previously, he said if you wanted to attend the concert, just let him know."

Saying that, Zeng Chao phoned Chen Wenwu.

Upon understanding the situation, Chen Wenwu asked Zeng Chao to pass the phone to Li Jing, and as soon as Li Jing took the call, he heard Chen Wenwu’s hearty voice:

"President Li, as expected of the big boss from Tianhai, already having so much fun upon arrival in Hai Province.

This music festival is high-level; I’ve only bought Pearl Card tickets myself. President Li, what type of card would you like?"

"The Black Diamond Card or the Jade Card, I suppose. The Pearl Card is just for one day, and I’m worried it’s not enough. If President Chen wants to join, maybe I’ll treat you, and we can go together?"

Upon hearing Li Jing’s reply, Chen Wenwu chuckled heartily, "Haha, President Li is generous, but my body can’t handle these things like you young people can.

However, the Black Diamond Card is quite specific, only for their fixed old members; others can’t buy it at all. I can help ask about the Jade Card, though, but the price might be a bit higher at this point."

"No problem, money isn’t an issue." Li Jing understood that tickets were likely sold out already, and Chen Wenwu could only find another way to purchase them at a markup.

"Okay, President Li, wait for me a bit, I’ll call you back later."

Chen Wenwu was very efficient, and it didn’t take long for him to call Li Jing back.

What Li Jing hadn’t expected was that the Jade Card was sold to him by Huang Qin, or rather, by a friend of Huang Qin’s.

That person had something come up unexpectedly, and since Huang Qin knew a lot of people in this area, they had entrusted her to resell the ticket, and it was passed to Li Jing, although with an added ten thousand on the original price.

According to Chen Wenwu, this ticket was highly sought after.

In Hua Country, there indeed are many ordinary poor people, but there are certainly plenty of rich ones too.

Despite the high ticket price, it’s still hard to get one. Without connections and channels, you can’t even buy a ticket no matter how much money you have.

Li Jing inwardly sighed; ever since acquiring wealth, he increasingly felt the disparities in society.

With Huang Qin leading the way, in the afternoon, Zeng Chao stayed at the villa while Huang Qin drove over to pick Li Jing up.

"President Li, long time no see."

Driving a silver Porsche Panamera, Huang Qin looked at Li Jing getting in the car and deliberately complained:

"President Li, last time I told you, if you want to play in Hai Province, just reach out to me. Why would you look for Old Chen, it seems President Li doesn’t trust me, huh?"

Li Jing indeed had forgotten about finding her, so he smiled, "My bad, this time I’ll cover the ticket cost for President Huang as compensation."

"President Li, so generous? Really? I’ll take it seriously～"

Though already thirty years old, Huang Qin had a natural feel of a mature woman, yet her words carried a coquettish tone.

Li Jing knew this was her usual social tactic, neither easily swayed by it nor offended, just lightly smiled, "Of course, does President Huang not trust my financial resources?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Qin chuckled, "President Li is unexpectedly so generous, but I already paid for the ticket, if President Li wants to treat me, there’ll be plenty of chances once we’re inside the music festival."

Li Jing had guessed she wouldn’t accept his offer.

At this point, their relationship wasn’t very close, and the Jade Card costing a hundred thousand was not a small amount for Huang Qin personally.

She wasn’t one of those ordinary gold-diggers; she wouldn’t easily accept other people’s money and favors, to avoid unnecessary troubles.
