Chen Tai was furious!
But there's nothing I can do!
If Chen Tai really doesn't pay up today, he might actually get a beating from these well-meaning people!
"Fine, fine! It's just a few dollars! Who can't afford something like this!"
Chen Tai tried to defend himself, saying angrily:
"Do you think I, Chen Tai, am the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others?"
Stop joking!
"My fucking wealth is more than all of yours combined!"
While cursing and swearing, Chen Tai took out his phone to scan the QR code to pay.
"Is that alright?" Chen Tai said in an unfriendly tone.
However, the next second...
"Beep! Payment failed!"
Chen Tai froze on the spot!
"What's going on?" Chen Tai was stunned for a moment, then took out his phone again to scan the code.
"Beep! Payment failed!"
"What the hell is going on? Is this machine broken?" Chen Tai cursed.
But the surrounding crowd let out a laugh!
"This machine isn't broken. The person before you just paid. Haven't you considered that it might be your fault?"
To put it bluntly, you have no money in your wallet!
"Tsk tsk tsk, the chairman of an investment company doesn't even have a few dollars in his pocket? That's hilarious."
"Hahahaha! Someone like you, trying to compete with Lu Yiming? You'd be lucky if you didn't end up begging! Hahahaha!"
...
The crowd immediately maxed out their sarcasm!
They don't usually act like this.
To put it bluntly, nobody's short of a few dollars these days.
They would even lend a helping hand to people who couldn't pay their bills or suddenly had no money in their pockets.
This enthusiasm is especially evident at the restaurant.
If you say you have no money in your pocket, you're desperate, and you go to a restaurant hoping to get a meal, I can't say 100%, but most restaurant owners will give you a free meal!
Many customers would even give you some money on their own initiative so that you wouldn't starve.
This is the kindness ingrained in the bones of the Chinese people.
If you ask for money, many people won't pay attention to you. You're a professional beggar, and you might earn much more than the average person, so why would anyone give you money?
But if you say you can't afford to eat and just want a bite to eat, many people will be willing to help you.
After all, nobody is short of a few dollars or a dozen dollars.
The Chinese people believe in cause and effect and retribution.
If you help someone today, they will help you in return if you need help someday.
But Chen Tai is different!
They had all heard of Chen Tai's vicious remarks.
They said that young people like them are lazy and good-for-nothing, no wonder they can't find jobs, and they deserve to be poor for life.
All they could say was "heh."
Let's be reasonable.
The fact that they didn't physically assault Chen Tai already shows they were very restrained.
At this point, do you still expect them to help Chen Tai?
On what grounds?
You think you're cheap?
Capitalists like Chen Tai have been cursing them like this, yet instead of cursing back, they forgive and help these capitalists.
They can't do it; they can't belittle themselves like that.
They are not without kindness, but kindness must be directed towards the right person!
So when Chen Tai made a fool of himself, these people didn't hesitate to mock him.
Goodness.
Those mocking words were like slaps to Chen Tai's face!
Chen Tai now truly understood what it meant to be brought down by a mere penny!
In just a few seconds, Chen Tai was drenched in sweat, cold sweat pouring down his back.
Finding you have no money when you go to pay the bill is the most fucking embarrassing thing ever!
Does Chen Tai really have no money?
He really didn't have any money.
My pockets are cleaner than anything else.
After being arrested and detained, almost all of the money was used to pay fines.
After I got out, I worked at this supermarket.
Eat in supermarkets, live in supermarkets.
Even if there's something that requires spending money, Chen Tai will unceremoniously take the money directly from the cashier and spend it.
So Chen Tai's phone was completely empty!
That's the limit!
what to do?
Chen Tai's mind went completely blank for a moment...
"Director..." Chen Tai blurted out instinctively.
It made all the customers nearby laugh.
"I knew it! There must be something fishy going on here! The first thing they did was ask the director for help. It's really hilarious."
"Hahahaha! No wonder the live stream kept cutting to commercials. Turns out the production team was secretly helping Chen Tai!"
"That's hilarious, Chen Tai. Is the director your dad? You go to the director whenever you need something?"
...
Chen Tai shut his mouth.
It's over.
That's even more embarrassing.
I'm used to it.
It just slipped out without my noticing.
Meanwhile, the director backstage was completely in the dark.
"Director... should we lend a hand? Even if it's just the production team borrowing Chen Tai's things?" a staff member suggested.
"Help my ass! That idiot Chen Tai can't even keep his mouth shut!" the director said angrily.
"And how can I help in front of so many people? I'm just asking you, how can you help?"
Wouldn't that just confirm that our production team is biased towards Chen Tai?
The staff member next to him silently muttered to himself:
"In the minds of the audience, it's already been confirmed that we're biased towards Chen Tai..."
The situation on the field became awkward.
