When Gan Guoyang saw nothing in Barkley's garage and did not find the other two Dodge Rams, he knew he had been duped.
He reproached himself for earnestly advising Barkley on the way there to manage his finances wisely instead of fooling around, wondering how his words had fallen on deaf ears.
Now he realized that the chubby fellow was just "pulling his leg," and it seemed that the young man had indeed made some progress.
He had sold all the surplus cars he had bought and kept only the two of more value for collection, paid off the loans in advance, and bought this Dodge Ram suitable for himself.
Barkley knew that Gan Guoyang did not like socializing with too many people, and while he was very professional and enthusiastic at business and NBA events, he valued his privacy in private and preferred to stay with his closest friends.
This time in Washington, Quentin Stephenson hadn't come along; being with Barkley made additional bodyguards unnecessary.
