"Are these people not afraid of being robbed? They're talking about how much money they've made selling their property so brazenly," Zhang Long remarked, clearly bewildered by the situation. If he had actually made money, he certainly wouldn't be shouting it from the rooftops. He had always believed that keeping one’s wealth a secret was the safest way to live.
"You have no idea. The city is full of people like this lately. It’s as if every household has suddenly become wealthy. People don't even look twice at ten yuan anymore, and some are even claiming they can get rich just by lying at home. It’s a real scene," Wandong explained when he saw their confusion.
"People in the city really do throw their money around. If we were to make some profit, we wouldn't dare tell a soul when asked; we’d only say we hadn't earned a thing."
