Zhuang Guoliang's eyes darted around, he touched his nose, and replied, "A car is just a means of transportation. My dad doesn't care about that. A top-of-the-line luxury car like this would cost several million, which is not something an ordinary family can afford. Although my family can afford it, there's no need for it."
"It's impressive enough that he can afford it; it's not something an ordinary family can afford." The girl continued to play along, her only thought being to please Young Master Zhuang so she could ride home in a BMW that night.
"Don't say that, it's nothing. I'm usually very low-key in class and I don't really want to reveal my family situation to everyone, mainly because I'm afraid it will put pressure on my classmates."
Upon hearing this, the boys at the table couldn't help but grit their teeth.
Is this what you call being low-key?
Those wrists with watches on them, they didn't take them off all night, aren't they tired?
If you're going to show off, then show off. We've been classmates for three years, and everyone knows what kind of person you are. You have to be a hypocrite and pretend to be virtuous at the same time. You're just annoying.
However, Zhuang Guoliang's rhetoric was indeed quite popular with the girls, to the point that several girls at the table exclaimed "Wow!" which made Zhuang Guoliang feel much better. He curled his lips into a wicked smile.
At that moment, the rear door of the black Rolls-Royce opened.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin An stepped out of the car.
The driver, who was wearing white gloves, wanted to get out of the car to open the door for him, but he stopped him, not wanting to be too high-profile in front of his classmates.
Several gasps of surprise rang out in the banquet hall.
"Lin An! It's the academic genius Lin An."
"Wow, Lin is so handsome."
Meanwhile, the students in Class 7 were completely silent, their gazes seemingly frozen, and Zhuang Guoliang's face looked ashen.
What's going on?
Doesn't Lin An wear his school uniform every day and eat pancakes made by Leng Lin's mother?
When did he become so rich?
A few seconds later, several boys from Class 7 chuckled at the same time. Hehehe, the king of cool has been crushed.
As soon as Lin An entered the banquet hall, Leng Lin waved her fair, lotus-root-like forearm:
"Lin An, over here!"
Liu Ruyun, who was initially overjoyed, turned cold as she saw Lin An running towards Leng Lin with a smile. Her gaze shifted from Lin An to Leng Lin, her eyes filled with icy intent.
As soon as Lin An sat down, Leng Lin quickly poured him a glass of juice. She felt that drinking alcohol was not a good thing. Not only did it taste bad, but people also liked to brag after drinking, just like Zhuang Guoliang.
Lin An was indeed a bit thirsty at the moment, so he picked up the cup and took a big gulp.
Unwittingly, the Patek Philippe Nautilus watch, known as the "King of Steel," was revealed on his wrist.
The girl who had wanted to ride in the BMW couldn't help but ask:
"Lin An, your watch is so beautiful, is it also a Longines?"
"It doesn't seem so. It should be called Patek Philippe," Lin An said casually.
Upon hearing this, the fashionable people at the next table immediately crowded around:
"Oh my God."
"A green-disc nautilus, that must be worth over a million, Lin. May I take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Guoliang hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to cover his watch.
"Okay, look around as you like."
Lin An took off his watch and casually handed it to the classmate. He was very generous, letting him look at and touch it as he pleased, since it wasn't his watch anyway.
This watch was given to Lin An by Tong Jun before he set off. She specifically told him that one car wasn't enough; the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, and to show off completely.
On his way there, Lin An recalled how brands like Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe had seen their popular models' prices skyrocket, eventually doubling in value on the secondary market.
Why do rich people get richer more easily? Just like the watch Tong Jun bought to show off, after wearing it for a few years, he was surprised to find that if he sold it, he actually made a profit.
And then there's him, who didn't spend a penny. His car and watch were borrowed. As long as others are willing to believe you're rich, even if you wear a fake watch, they'll believe it's worth millions. Rich people can easily spend a little money to show off.
Clearly, Liu Ruyun was someone who believed Lin An was wealthy.
As the students eagerly passed Lin An's watch around, soon several girls were staring at him with admiring eyes.
Liu Ruyun gritted her teeth, feeling a little panicked. It seemed like she had more and more rivals in love.
Lin An glanced at her and saw the anxious look on her face. He knew he had her figured out; he didn't need to persuade her, she would take the bait herself.
"Lin An, is that Rolls-Royce yours? Tell everyone what you've been up to. Are you going to take over the family business?"
A boy at the table asked in a sarcastic tone, his eyes darting towards Zhuang Guoliang.
Lin An was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that he knew how much the boys in the class disliked Zhuang Guoliang.
Everyone has wanted to teach this kid a lesson for a long time.
Lin An coughed lightly and said in a very cooperative manner, "Hey, let's stop pretending, everyone. Let me reintroduce myself. I am a rising star in the business world and the president of the number one MCN on the entire internet."
"Wow, you're a CEO now!" The boy who asked the question was immediately delighted.
A few guys who didn't do any proper work and spent their free time watching live streams of pretty girls immediately chimed in:
"The number one MCN on the entire internet? Is it Xiao An Company? Are you the president of Xiao An?"
"Yes, I founded Xiao An."
A collective gasp of amazement erupted from the table. These high school students were still at the stage where they would be overjoyed if they got a few extra dollars in pocket money at home, and they simply couldn't imagine that their classmate was already a CEO.
Zhuang Guoliang lowered his head as low as he could, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground. Waaah, he was still just a little kid who secretly drove his dad's car and wore his dad's watch. How could he compare to that? He wanted to go home and find his dad.
He even felt that Leng Lin, who was sitting next to Lin An, was no longer someone he could even dream of.
Fortunately, he didn't lose Liu Ruyun, the school beauty who was number one in his heart. Losing a backup option didn't break his heart.
At that moment, a gasp of surprise erupted from the desks of the honors class.
Zhuang Guoliang couldn't help but look up and saw Liu Ruyun take off her white outer garment.
The clothes underneath were revealed. The clothes resembled a ballet tutu, with a large expanse of skin on the front and most of the back exposed.
Her fair skin shimmered under the light. Her short skirt barely covered her hips, revealing her long, beautiful legs.
Liu Ruyun's figure was so good that other girls couldn't even feel jealous; they only felt admiration. People are usually not jealous of things that are incomparable.
The boys were instantly stunned. Oh my god! Is this some kind of graduation bonus package?
