477 A Cheap Trick (1/2)

Brazenly showing off his wealth – and a paltry two billion at that? Chen Xiaobei merely smiled in cavalier, while shooting Bai Zhunyu a soft glare of disdain.

Lin Nan, on the other hand, said pridefully, ”Brother Bai, don't disparage others! Green Vine's most esteemed Beicheng jewelry store, factory of Kidney Treasures and First Love Peach farm are all my brother-in-law's estate. He definitely wouldn't lose out to you!”

”Huh? So, he's that internet celebrity?” Bai Zhunyu raised his eyebrows in surprise as the crowd broke into chatter. Though they had never seen him, they did hear of his feats – especially about the First Love Peach that went viral!

As they looked on in amazement, Chen Xiaobei chuckled but said nothing. If he were to tell them that he had just bought a land worth three-billion-yuan land, who knows how the crowd would react! And that would have been more interesting too!

Meanwhile, Bai Zhunyu's face darkened. ”Alright. Even if his wealth is similar to ours, how is he better than me? Surely you can't believe that a small internet celebrity deserves Lin Xiang!

”Ah…” Lin Nan was dumbstruck and unable to reply.

”I'm the CFO of the Lintian Organization, Master Yap is my close friend! How does he even compare to me?” Bai Zhunyu repeated himself; he was clearly very proud of that title.

Lin Nan kept quiet.

”Lintian Organization? Yap Tianlin's company?” Chen Xiaobei asked, narrowed his eyes.

”Hehe! Do you even need to ask?” Bai Zhunyun's face lit up with smugness at once. ”His company is always listed in the country's top hundred. How could you not know that? What a hick! Can't match up to me now, huh? Face the facts – you're just a stupid internet celebrity who got lucky earning a couple of bucks investing. Who gave you the idea that you're some kind of big shot?

Chen Xiaobei kept calm and did not take his words to heart, although he was quite curious about the name 'Yap Tianlin' he kept throwing around. He had been hearing that name ever since he arrived in Dragon City – and if a financial director was as cocky as this, what about Yap Tianlin himself?

”No words? Already scared by Master Yap's reputation alone?” Bai Zhunyu taunted as he became bolder. ”You should know that I have prepared a very special gift for Lady Lin. I'm going to confess my love to her – in fact, Master Yap will be video-calling us later to show his support for me!”

”My goodness! Boss Bai had even sought Master Yap's succor… What a huge honor!

”No wonder Boss Bai invited so many VIPs today. He's definitely getting the girl today!”

”Surely Lady Lin won't turn him down with Master Yao's help! I think I'll congratulate Boss Bai in advance!”

The crowd quickly tried to curry favor with Bai Zhunyu, cheering and applauding him on. The atmosphere was absolutely stirring.

”Motherfucker! This slug is absolutely treacherous… He actually used such a cheap trick!” Lin Nan panicked, and scurried beside Chen Xiaobei and whispered into his ear. ”Brother-in-law, it's my fault – I didn't know he'd be playing dirty. What are we going to do? What if you lose to him in front of all these people? That would be a problem in the future!”

”Don't worry. This piece of garbage won't win.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged, not even bothering to lower his voice.

Bai Zhunyu, who was reveling in the crowd's plaudits heard him, and instantly burned with anger. ”So. You're not giving up? Thick-skinned worm! Then tell me, how do you measure up to me? Tell me! Tell me!”

The others also turned to Chen Xiaobei. Their gaze was mocking, as if they were eager to see him make a fool of himself. In their minds, Bai Zhunyu was backed up by Yap Tianlin, and Chen Xiaobei could not possibly top that!

Lin Nan was well aware of that, and started sweating buckets.

Only Chen Xiaobei was smiling, ”The status that you are so proud of is only temporary. Who knows? Maybe someday you might wake up and realize that it's gone!”

”Brat, didn't you bring your brain along with you?” Bai Zhunyu laughed scornfully. ”Is there anyone here who doesn't know that Master Yap and I are childhood friends? Do you even know what that means? It means that we grew up together! My position in the Tianlin Organization is rock-solid. How could I possibly lose my job?”
