The Pan family of three returned to the hotel, while Han Lie headed back to Dream Garden alone.
Niu Ben was squatting by the roadside, smoking and looking enviously at the two high-rise buildings. Most people in Dream City knew about this ultra-high-standard residential complex. Someone like him, well-connected and always navigating the social scene, could even recite Pan Dajun's network by heart.
But that was of no practical use; Pan Dajun existed only in their booze-fueled conversations, not in their actual lives.
"Brother Lie!"
The moment he saw Han Lie, Niu Ben quickly snuffed out his cigarette, rubbed his hands together, and stood up.
"Come with me."
Han Lie tilted his head and walked straight towards the sales office, which was merely an empty shell.
Niu Ben followed Han Lie with trepidation and soon laid eyes on the real estate tycoon, Pan Dajun.
