Looking at the extremely arrogant professional basketball player, Shen Qiang furrowed his brows slightly. This guy had challenged him the first day he saw him talking to Su Xiaonuan, but Shen Qiang ignored him.

When he provoked Shen Qiang the second time, Shen Qiang had infected him with type B influenza to embarrass him, then casually cured him afterward.

Shen Qiang had thought that since everyone lived in the same neighborhood, there was no need to escalate tensions. As long as the other party knew when to back off, and they could all coexist without infringing on each other's territory, all would be well.

But now it seemed that Shen Qiang had oversimplified the matter.

"What do you want?" Shen Qiang asked, frowning as he held the basketball, his eyebrows tightly knit, "There's a limit to patience. I won't tolerate this over and over. As a public figure, don't force me to make you lose face."

Hearing this, the professional player on the basketball court laughed and said, "Fuck, putting on airs with me, still talking about limits? Who do you think you are? Forcing me to lose face?"

The young man standing beside the professional player, almost as tall as Shen Qiang, also laughed and said, "Hilarious, aren't you just the guy who goes to work by subway every day? In terms of money, strength, or anything else, how do you compare?"

This remark made the other young men on the basketball court laugh as well.

"The management of the neighborhood has gotten a bit lax, letting just anyone in. You can't even afford a car worth a few hundred thousand, and you have to squeeze onto the subway, what gives you the right to live here?"

"Exactly, I'm afraid it lowers the neighborhood's standards just by talking about it."

"When I bought the apartment in this neighborhood, one reason was certainly the great location, but another was because the salesperson said the residents were all rich or noble. Now it turns out that even those who take the subway are here, which is just laughable."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang felt nothing at all.

Not because of anything else, but because his bank card currently held twenty million.

Not to mention the whole layer of Blood Ganoderma, the Storage Ring, and the Furnace Tripod sealed by the Immortal Sealing Technique.

If Shen Qiang were to liquidate all these, not to mention the entire neighborhood, even looking across Provincial City, those who dared claim they were certainly richer than Shen Qiang would be few and far between.

Such mockery didn't affect Shen Qiang.

But Su Xiaonuan was angry, "If you're so great, why don't you buy the whole neighborhood? Make it your own private garden?"

Upon hearing this, the tall professional player replied, "It's not that I can't afford it, I just don't see the need. If it became my private garden, then wouldn't you be living in my backyard?"

The young man beside him laughed loudly, "Beauty, if you were a bit more gentle, maybe my boss really would buy the neighborhood."

The young men on the basketball court snickered.

To buy the entire neighborhood, this professional player certainly didn't have that kind of power.

But with boasting, if you take him seriously, he has eight hundred excuses up his sleeve.

So, after glancing at Su Xiaonuan who was fuming, Shen Qiang simply tugged at her gently, then said in a serious tone, "If you want to flaunt your wealth with me, that's fine."

"Tell me, which building do you live in? Which floor and unit? How large is the place? What car do you have? How much cash do you have in your account?"

Hearing this, the professional player laughed wildly, "Has this dumbass gone mad? If I tell you, it'll scare you to death."

Standing next to Shen Qiang, Su Xiaonuan, upon hearing this, became anxious and pulled Shen Qiang, saying, "Shen Qiang, don't stoop to his level, you can't compete with him, professional players earn a lot."

"Moreover, with my family's financial resources, we could only afford to buy a house of just over a hundred square meters here by pulling out all the stops. You're just renting a place here, how can you compare?"

Shen Qiang smiled and comforted her, "Don't be afraid."

At this moment, the professional player's companion laughed, "Our boss lives in A2 Building, 16th floor, Unit A, from the 16th to the 17th, altogether more than three hundred square meters, nearly ten million in total value."

"How much exactly?" Shen Qiang didn't even bat an eyelid.

"Seven million three hundred thousand. Are you not convinced?" the professional player said with an air of arrogance.

Shen Qiang smiled, "Is that all? Anything else?"

The professional player's companion laughed, "Our boss drives a George Patton, three million, just asking if you can accept that?"

Shen Qiang laughed.

The house and the car together barely amounted to ten million, just about half the cash in Shen Qiang's card.

Seeing Shen Qiang still composed, the professional player arrogantly picked up his small waist pack and pulled out a bank card, saying, "It's all just pocket money anyway, I've never really paid attention to how much there is."

A young man beside them lit up, "Want to check the balance? Just call the bank's customer service."

Hearing this, the professional player dialed the number with a proud look, intentionally using the speakerphone.

When the voice from the phone announced, "Sir, your account balance is three million three hundred thirty-seven thousand eight hundred yuan," the professional player hung up the phone, full of pride, and said, "Now do you see the gap between you and me?"

Shen Qiang laughed.

By his side, Su Xiaonuan's heart was in turmoil, pulling Shen Qiang to leave, whispering, "Shen Qiang, you've not yet officially started working, there's no need to compete with him, let's go."

Shen Qiang slightly frowned.

And just then, seeing Su Xiaonuan pulling Shen Qiang away.

The professional player laughed aloud, "Fuck, weren't you acting all high and mighty? You said you were going to make me unable to leave the stage with dignity, so why are you running away?"

Hearing this, a few young men on the basketball court also laughed.

"Hahaha, Yong, you are the popular player, what does he have to compare with you?"

"I'm dying of laughter, if he really had any skills, why would he be taking the subway? Look at that beauty, she's gone pale with fright, such a pretty girl, to be with such a waste, truly a waste of good eyesight."

"Having no substance and still daring to show off in our community, it's just laughable."

Maddened by the young men's ridicule, anger surged within Shen Qiang.

But at that moment, Su Xiaonuan, still pulling on Shen Qiang, whispered softly, "Shen Qiang, different industries have different prospects for advancement. Players, you know, rely on their youth, they earn a lot now, but they can't do it for many years."

"Doctors are different, the longer you work, the higher the income becomes. So don't compare yourself with him now, wait a few years and then look at him."

Su Xiaonuan's comfort added a smile to Shen Qiang's face.

But just as Shen Qiang adjusted his mindset, deciding not to bother with them anymore.

A young man beside the professional player suddenly raised his voice and called out, "Hey, that chick, don't go, our boss fancies you, he has money, power, and is also good in bed, way better than being with that loser, right?"

"As long as you're smart enough to make our boss happy..."

Su Xiaonuan, by his side, visibly shook with rage, but still insisted on leaving, saying, "Shen Qiang, let's go, just focus on your work, and you will definitely not be any worse than him in the future."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang stopped in his tracks and said, "Aren't you angry?"

"Angry, that's why we need to work even harder!" Su Xiaonuan looked at Shen Qiang, tears swirling in her beautiful eyes, yet she said firmly, "There may be thirty years of prosperity to the east and another thirty to the west, never underestimate the young for being poor, you, Shen Qiang, will definitely not be worse off than him in the future!"

Shen Qiang laughed.

At that moment, the young man beside the player once again raised his voice and shouted, "Hey, that chick, our boss's big bed is one that countless beauties want to climb into, don't miss your chance."

Looking at Su Xiaonuan trembling with anger.

Shen Qiang gently pried open her hand that was tightly gripping his arm, turned around, and walked towards the basketball court, stepping to the place where he had stood before, he stamped on the basketball on the ground.

The basketball bounced up, starting to spin on the tip of Shen Qiang's finger.

Gazing at the professional player who was still laughing arrogantly.

Shen Qiang said indifferently, "Hey, you tall fool, that three hundred square meter house of yours isn't even as big as my storage room, what the hell are you bragging about?"
