Seeing the reply, the smile on Chen Fan's face instantly became a bit brighter.
Just as he had expected!
Anyone who could hang out with Zhou Wanshan certainly had an impressive background.
Tang Jianye was a true bigwig in the Jianghai City business world.
He was in the chain pharmacy and elderly care industries, with companies spread across several provinces.
It was said that back when the real estate market was at its craziest, he didn't touch it.
Others laughed at him for being conservative, but when the real estate bubble burst later and a large number of bosses went under, he was the one who stood firm.
Over the years, his business had only grown larger.
It was said that his net worth had long exceeded one billion.
In Jianghai City, the name Tang Jianye was practically legendary.
If a figure of this caliber became a user of the lifespan treasure, the future profits it could bring him would be absolutely unimaginable!
Chen Fan had even started doing the math.
With a net worth of one billion, if he bought just one year of lifespan...
How much could he rake in? It would be at least ten million to start!
Thinking of this, Chen Fan suddenly felt, why bother renting an apartment?
He should just stay in a hotel!
He could use it as a stopgap, and once President Tang made a purchase, he would figure things out then.
At this moment, a message from Zhou Wanshan arrived again.
"Brother Chen."
"Should I send you President Tang's >?"
Chen Fan did not hesitate.
"Sure."
Soon, a friend request popped up.
The profile picture was a landscape painting.
The nickname was simple: Tang Jianye.
Chen Fan clicked accept immediately.
As soon as he accepted, a message came from the other side.
"Mr. Chen."
"I am Tang Jianye."
"I've heard much about you."
Chen Fan's mouth twitched.
Heard much about him, my foot.
Still, he had to keep up appearances.
"You are too kind, President Tang."
"President Zhou mentions you often."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Afterward, Chen Fan got straight to the point and sent over one of the fifty invitation codes he had just bought.
"This is the invitation code for the lifespan treasure."
Seeing the invitation code, the other side clearly paused for a moment.
A few seconds later, a message arrived.
"Many thanks."
"I will remember this favor."
Chen Fan smiled.
A favor? He actually preferred cash.
Of course, he couldn't say that.
So he continued to reply.
"By the way, President Tang."
"There is one thing I need to remind you of."
"I only have this one invitation code."
"If anyone asks, please keep it confidential."
"I don't want to bring trouble upon myself."
Seeing this, the other side replied almost instantly.
"Understood."
"I understand the principle."
Chen Fan nodded.
Talking to smart people was so much easier.
Afterward, they chatted for a few more moments, agreed to have a meal together when they had the chance, and the conversation ended.
Putting down his phone, Chen Fan thought for a moment, then turned back.
He could eat anytime, but he needed to arrange a place to stay first.
He currently had over five hundred thousand in his bank card, so staying in a star-rated hotel was no problem at all.
As for the rental unit? He would go back, pack up, and just terminate the lease.
Thinking of that old, dilapidated apartment where he had lived for three years, Chen Fan felt a sudden sense of emotion.
Over fifty square meters—he used to think it was the starting point of his struggle; now, it looked more like the end of his hard times.
Ten minutes later, Chen Fan returned to the rental unit.
Looking around, he suddenly realized there was nothing worth taking.
A few changes of clothes, a computer, a suitcase.
Aside from that, nothing.
Chen Fan chuckled.
It turned out that for all these years, he had lived so lightly.
Meanwhile, at Wanshan Medical.
In the office, the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
Tang Jianye held his phone, looking at the invitation code in the chat box, his eyes flickering.
The other presidents nearby watched with envy, but there was nothing they could do.
After all, he was the real big shot.
Being able to hang out with him was already a step up.
President Liu pursed his lips, sounding sour.
"Old Tang."
"Your luck is really good."
President Zhao also nodded in agreement.
"If I had known there was only one spot, I should have come secretly."
"Maybe it would be me right now."
Everyone laughed heartily.
Tang Jianye was in a good mood too.
"Let me check if it's real or fake first."
"If it turns out to be useful, I'll help you guys figure something out later."
Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted instantly.
That's right, that was the key.
Verify it first!
If it was real, then there would be a follow-up.
Tang Jianye didn't waste any words and looked at the young secretary beside him.
The secretary quickly handed him another phone.
This phone was one Tang Jianye usually used to handle miscellaneous matters.
Although it was very clean, its security level was maxed out.
Soon, Tang Jianye sent the invitation code over.
Following Zhou Wanshan's instructions, he copied it and then opened the app store.
The next second, everyone's breathing hitched simultaneously.
They saw that the "lifespan treasure," which they couldn't find no matter how hard they searched, had just appeared so vividly!
"It's there!" the secretary exclaimed.
The people nearby were energized.
It was hidden so deeply!
They had searched the entire internet and couldn't find it before, but after copying a string of invitation codes, it just popped up on its own.
This was already beyond the scope of normal software.
Tang Jianye did not hesitate and clicked to download and install.
The process was fast; seconds later, the installation was complete.
Without overthinking it, Tang Jianye opened it.
As soon as it opened, a notification popped up.
"Authentication successful."
"Welcome, user: Tang Jianye."
Seeing his own name, Tang Jianye frowned slightly.
However, before he could even be shocked, the personal page had already unfolded automatically.
And the information displayed on it made his heart jolt violently.
【Name: Tang Jianye】
【Age: 63】
【Assets: 1,314,159,267.53 Yuan】
【Life Rating: S】
【Health Status: Sub-health】
【Remaining lifespan: 911 days】
The office went instantly quiet; you could hear a pin drop.
The several presidents all crowded over.
When they saw the assets column, the corners of their mouths twitched simultaneously.
1.3 billion.
He was truly rich.
Although everyone knew Tang Jianye was wealthy, knowing it was one thing, but seeing it with their own eyes was another.
But at this moment, Tang Jianye didn't pay attention to the assets at all, nor was he dwelling on why it had automatically bound to him.
His gaze was locked tightly on the lifespan column.
911 days?
Not even three years!
The office gradually fell quiet, and no one spoke.
Because everyone knew that Tang Jianye's health had been poor for years.
Diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease—he had almost all of them.
Although they should have been mentally prepared, even so, when they saw that number, everyone felt a bit uncomfortable.
Finally, President Zhao gave a dry laugh.
"This thing might not be accurate."
"Right. It's just software. Maybe it's randomly generated."
Everyone chimed in to comfort him.
But as they talked, they themselves didn't have much confidence.
After all, Zhou Wanshan was right in front of them!
He was a living, breathing example!
Just as the atmosphere was becoming heavy, President Liu suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Why are you making it so heavy?"
"Can't you buy it?"
"That's right! Old Tang has a net worth of over a billion.
His businesses are still constantly appreciating!
Buying a hundred or eighty years of lifespan wouldn't be like child's play?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted immediately.
That's right, he could buy it!
Tang Jianye's eyes lit up as well.
He immediately opened the 【lifespan Trading】 interface.
Then, without hesitation, he clicked the 【Purchase lifespan】 icon.
The next second, the price popped up.
【Purchase one year of lifespan requires payment: 13,141,592.67 Yuan】
Seeing that string of numbers, the air suddenly went quiet.
Tang Jianye froze.
The several presidents also froze.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Tang Jianye slowly raised his head and looked at Zhou Wanshan.
"Old Zhou."
"Didn't you say, it only costs ten million per year?"
