After the family of three arrived back at the hotel, Ma Lan received a business card from Chen Liping. The card belonged to someone who went by the nickname “Grateful Heart.” From her profile picture, Ma Lan guessed that she was a well-groomed woman in her 40s.
The photo showed her on a luxurious private jet. Ma Lan recognized the luxury; she had taken a private jet on her unforgettable trip to the United States. Seeing the woman’s picture made Ma Lan think that she must be quite impressive.
Feeling curious, Ma Lan returned to her room, added the woman as a friend, and wrote, “Hello, I’m Sister Chen’s friend” in her friend request. The woman quickly accepted the request and sent back a smiley face, followed by a voice message: “Hello, are you Ma Lan?”
Ma Lan responded eagerly, “Yes, that’s me! Sister Chen must have told you about me. I’m flying from New York to Hong Kong Island this Sunday and then transferring back to the mainland.”
The woman replied, “Oh, that’s great! We should be on the same flight. By the way, are you in first class or economy?”
Ma Lan quickly said, “My son-in-law got me a first-class seat.”
The woman smiled and said, “That’s wonderful! I also booked first class. Let’s check in together at the airport so we can sit closer to each other.”
“Okay, sounds good!” Ma Lan agreed with a smile, then asked, “What is your name?”
The woman replied, “My last name is Zong, and my first name is Zong Qiuhua.”
Ma Lan smiled and said, “Oh, that’s a lovely name!”
“Come on!”
The other person smiled and said, “It’s okay. One of my cousins is famous in the beverage business in China. You might have heard of him.”
As they spoke, the person sent Ma Lan a link to a character encyclopedia. When Ma Lan clicked on it, he was shocked!
The encyclopedia revealed that the wealthy man named Zong is a well-known beverage mogul with family assets over 100 billion dollars!
Ma Lan felt a wave of surprise and asked, “Wow, is this boss Zong really your relative?”
“Yes,” the woman, who introduced herself as Zong Qiuhua, replied modestly. “But we’re distant relatives. We’re not very close. Their family is much richer, with assets over 100 billion dollars. Our family has only a few billion, which is nothing compared to theirs. There’s really no comparison.”
She continued, “If you hadn’t mentioned my last name is rare, I wouldn’t have brought this up. After all, they are distant relatives, and it feels odd to talk about them. I don’t want to come off as someone who is trying to boast.”
Listening to her, Ma Lan couldn’t help but admire Zong Qiuhua.
In Ma Lan’s eyes, some people are falsely modest while others, like Zong Qiuhua, are genuinely humble. Even though Zong Qiuhua is worth billions, she still downplayed her family’s wealth. This kind of humility was impressive.
Ma Lan thought to himself, “The gap between her and others is huge! I can’t believe it!”
Ma Lan was carrying a simple Hermès bag and had just won a private plane through a lottery. She was surprised to realize that people could have billions of dollars. The value of money seemed so small in comparison.
As she sighed, a thought crossed her mind: “If she’s already so rich, why doesn’t she just take a private jet?”
