PDLP Chapter 117 Opening Dance
Chapter 117 Opening Dance
Upon hearing Poly's declaration of war, Yufei became interested. She probably didn't know that most of the land that Monopoly had opened up was already owned by her brother Xu Junyi and herself, with the remaining small portion controlled by some very business-savvy people in Longyuan Town.
She was actually quite curious and wanted to see how Baoli and his group would play against her brother Xu Junyi and his friends. Of course, her friends could also join in.
She was quite curious to see if these descendants from Merle Street were truly that strong. She was definitely there to learn, after all, if it weren't for some information from her past life that made her feel inferior to them...
She didn't necessarily have a great talent for business, but under her tutelage as his future teacher, Xu Junyi displayed exceptional business acumen.
Not only is he the top dog in the Monopoly district, but I also heard that he's not idle while at university; he has his own small company, which is doing quite well.
This wasn't told to Yufei by Xu Junyi, but rather by Wang Qianxing, the loudmouth who was always by Xu Junyi's side.
Unfortunately, Junyi definitely can't compete with Poly and let Yufei see who's better.
That evening, they arrived at the Monopoly District as agreed. Less than one-fifth of the district's area had been developed; this was intentionally controlled by Yufei. Every year, she would invest a certain amount of land in the Monopoly District, thus controlling the bank interest rates and loan rates.
Her original intention in creating Monopoly was to involve the children of Longyuan Town and allow them to learn about business aspects such as game theory, cooperation, economic leverage, and finance.
It seems her expectations for the children were too high; it wasn't that the children weren't interested, but rather that they couldn't get into the games.
It was too advanced for them, but just right for the adults.
These, on the contrary, have become favorites among adults in Longyuan Town and tourists.
Some of the repeat customers in Longyuan Town come specifically to participate in the operation, gambling, and land investment of Longyuan Coin.
Of course, these people not only play themselves, but also bring their children to play, explaining the operation in a simple and easy-to-understand way while playing.
Surprisingly, this indirectly achieved Yufei's goal. However, as Great Xia integrates with the international community, some of the participants seem to have more diverse ways of playing the game, sometimes even overwhelming Yufei.
She almost managed to steal some properties from me, but thanks to Xu Jun's help, I wasn't.
This year is almost over, and next year... Since Poly has said that, Yufei feels that next year's Monopoly game will be even more exciting.
"This is the Monopoly area you were talking about," Cui Yu'an said, looking around at the somewhat empty yet bustling place.
"Mm!" Yufei nodded.
"Why is this area called the Monopoly District? Are all the people living here rich? It doesn't look like a residential area at all; it's more like a hotel and commercial district."
Cui Yu'an glanced at it and immediately realized that the Monopoly game was not quite what he had imagined, so he asked...
"Pfft~ Who told you the Monopoly District is a villa area where rich people live?" Zhao Jing laughed out loud when she heard Cui Yu'an's words.
"Then why is this area called Monopoly District?" Cui Yu'an asked, puzzled.
"Because Yufei adapted a game from abroad called Monopoly, this area is developing a real-life version of Monopoly based on the game's rules. Right now, it hasn't entered the competitive phase yet; it's still in the initial accumulation stage."
Zhao Jing explained to Cui Yu'an
"It's just hateful that this year, that white eagle country's Poly tore a small hole in their business, making that kid so arrogant. He even boasted that Yufei would kneel down before him. He really thinks he's something."
Zhao Jing said angrily
Cui Yu'an smiled enigmatically. "Oh?! Hearing you say that, I think this game sounds interesting. I'd like to try it too. Yufei, can you tell me the rules?"
Cui Yu'an looked at Yufei innocently, as if to say, "Is this real or fake? I'm so naive and easily fooled." O_o
Yufei covered her mouth and laughed as she watched Cui Yu'an's silly antics, then began explaining the rules of the game to him.
"The person who invented this game must be a genius!" Cui Yu'an exclaimed sincerely, making Yufei blush. Although she didn't create the game herself, she added many gameplay elements to it. Praising the game also included a small part of praising her.
As they walked, Yufei explained to Cui Yu'an how to obtain Dragon Abyss Coins in the game, and they chatted all the way to the clubhouse opened by Poly.
As they stepped into the clubhouse, they were greeted by unprecedented opulence: a massive crystal chandelier hung in the center of the hall, complemented by marble walls and floors.
The entire decor and layout were high-end, sophisticated, and classy. The party hadn't started yet, and a very elegant-looking person sat in the center of the hall, playing the piano.
This piano is a Steinway brand, even the top-of-the-line model within Steinway, worth nearly 1000 million yuan. It's a custom-made model that most people can't even afford.
Poly really went all out to make this place famous, and you definitely get what you pay for; the music was melodious and clear, without a single stray sound.
The pianist was one of the exchange students from the British Empire, and I heard she was a member of the British royal family. She had been learning piano since childhood and performed at the Vienna Golden Hall, the highest hall for pianists, when she was 13.
His piano skills are exceptionally high; one can glean this from the expressions of pure rapture on the faces of those watching him play.
When he finished singing, the host's voice rang out in the hall, announcing the official start of the evening's event.
The gala hosted by Poly was entirely in accordance with their Western standards, starting with an opening dance.
Originally, the opening dance was supposed to be performed by Paul and another girl from the White Eagle Kingdom, but he changed his mind after seeing Yufei.
He arrogantly walked up to Yufei, and with a patronizing look, offered to dance the opening dance with her.
Yufei wouldn't let him have his way, and completely ignored him. Unexpectedly, Paul, in an attempt to provoke Yufei, said...
"What? Are you too scared to dance the opening dance in front of everyone? Or do you just not know how?!"
The others who were with Poly also looked at Yufei with mocking eyes.
"I'm not afraid of the opening dance, but I don't think you're worthy of dancing with me," Yufei said, looking down at Poly with the haughty gaze of a queen.
She didn't want to lose a single battle! Having said that, she took out what Granny Chun had taught her and gracefully walked up to Cui Yu'an.
"Would you like to do an opening dance with me?" Yufei lifted her skirt and gestured invitingly.
"It would be my honor!" Cui Yu'an accepted Yufei's invitation with full confidence.
They walked hand in hand to the center of the stage, resembling a powerful king and a dignified queen. Their evenly matched presence made them seem like a perfect couple.
Yufei and Cui Yu'an assumed the starting position for a waltz. Yufei whispered in Cui Yu'an's ear...
"Can you do it? If not, follow my steps, and I'll guide you through the jump."
Hearing Yufei's words, Cui Yu'an whispered in Yufei's ear, "Just dance at your own pace, I won't embarrass you!"
