Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Show off
"Might someone confess their feelings to Qingqing during this gathering?"
Lin Yun had excellent hearing, and he picked up on some people whispering amongst themselves, which made him slightly surprised.
Qi Nan, the Great Talent Qi, he made a note of this name and title.
However, he didn't take it too seriously.
He was already with Xia Qingqing, he trusted her, and that was enough.
A genius?
He had the Cosmic Trading System, and as long as he had enough Spirit Crystals, he could customize books that would let him instantly learn a plethora of knowledge. He could learn knowledge from countless civilizations in the cosmos; why should he worry about being a genius?
...
Before long, the buses arrived at the venue for the party, the Golden Age Entertainment Club.
Based on the various facilities at the front, the class of this place was evident.
At the very least, for a typical class reunion, it was very decent.
The group went into the club chattering and laughing, hit by a wave of luxury upon entering, which made many students marvel.
Lin Yun cracked a small smile.
Not long ago, while decorating the Qingyun Hotel and Qingyun Restaurant, he gained a lot of knowledge on the subject, so how could he not see that the club's decorations mainly highlighted its luxury? The actual atmosphere might not be that exquisite, and the remodeling costs might not be too high either.
Because many fancy places only have superficial appeal while more areas have average decoration.
A truly high-class decoration would be splendid in every detail.
However, for this club, the decorations were more than enough to impress average customers.
Aren't many venues like this, where they strive for maximum effect with the least expense?
"Yaoyao, why didn't Zhang Xuan come with us?" Xia Qingqing turned to Zhang Yaoyao and asked curiously.
"He said he'll come later with some friends," Zhang Yaoyao responded.
"Oh," Xia Qingqing nodded.
Although the gathering was primarily for their class, it was pretty open, and many people could attend.
The number of buses available for transportation to the gathering was indicative of this.
Each bus could carry twenty to thirty people, and with three buses, there were about seventy to eighty people.
Some didn't take the bus, choosing to self-drive or take a taxi instead.
"Look, it's Shu Lee in his Emperor Ling X3, that costs over three hundred thousand, right? He got himself another car..." A male student in the lobby pointed at a car outside and exclaimed.
Shu Lee came from a well-off family, still a student, but driving a car worth over three hundred thousand, especially after recently owning a car worth over two hundred thousand, that would make anyone envious.
Most of these people were students from Shen University. Even though it was a prestigious university, they knew their place. In current society, students from prestigious universities were not a novelty. Upon graduation, the best they could hope for was a job that paid about ten thousand per month.
They would have to save up for at least three years to be able to afford a vehicle worth three hundred thousand.
"Shu Lee!"
"Shu Lee, why are you so late?"
"Shu Lee, did you change your wheels again?"
As soon as Shu Lee entered, many students greeted and welcomed him.
Some people who were only casually acquainted with him acted as if they were close to him, as though trying to flaunt their connections.
If a person frequently mixed with successful people, that person's standing would invariably increase.
"Hey, it's just an Emperor Ling X3, nothing to boast about. I got a little delayed because of a problem with the car," Shu Lee quipped nonchalantly, holding up his keys with a smirk.
Although he tried to seem indifferent, if one were to listen carefully, they would detect a hint of bragging in his voice.
Perhaps there was no issue with his car to begin with, and he only said so to draw attention and brag.
Actually, that was precisely the case.
Because Lin Yun had a lie detector on him, which had notified him that Shu Lee was lying.
Lin Yun found this amusing but didn't expose him. He didn't know him, and this matter had nothing to do with him. Furthermore, it was fairly common for a man to want to show off after getting a nice car.
Just the other day, he had ordered cars worth two to three hundred million from Little White Car Dealership. Despite needing more cars as his staff increased, didn't he also want to take some cars back to his hometown and show off?
As expected, after hearing what Shu Lee said, many who hadn't noticed the car earlier turned their attention to it, and those who didn't recognize it came to know of it.
"Emperor Ling... wow..."
"Emperor Ling X3, it's not something we can afford at the moment, it must be nice being a rich second generation..." some students sighed.
"What rich second generation? My family has some small money, compared to the real rich second generations, we are far from it..." Shu Lee waved it off, dismissing their comments.
His bragging had served its purpose, and he began surveying the crowd, checking how many beauties had arrived and if he had attracted anyone's attention.
Wasn't the point of his earlier grandstanding to attract the attention of the ladies?
If he managed to hook up with a pretty girl, his objective would be accomplished.
Quickly, his eyes landed on Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng in the crowd, and he grew excited.
Although he knew that many men with good backgrounds were trying to pursue Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng, they were living in the era of free love. It didn't guarantee that a better background would fetch a pretty girl or they might as well compare who had the richest family and stop the pursuit. Besides, his family was not that bad off either, being better than some and worse than some.
Many times, flowers ended up in cow dung. What if he turned out to be that pile of cow dung?
It had to be said; this was a mindset many boys had. That ordinary boy before dared to think so, let alone Shu Lee who was somewhat rich.
"Miss Xia, Miss Lin, didn't expect to see the two foremost beauties of the school here, what a rare occasion!" Shu Lee walked over, smiling and greeting them.
With Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng present, he didn't care about the other ordinary girls. These two beauties were gems, and no matter which one he hooked up with, it would be a huge win. Therefore, giving up the chance to find someone else was worth it.
While speaking, he observed Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng's reactions, trying to see who showed more interest in him.
Huh?
On inspecting, he noticed Lin Yun standing next to Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng. Seemingly the three came together. What's more, this guy seemed very close to Xia Qingqing?
Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng were laughing and talking. Seeing him approach, they nodded politely.
Lin Yun watched this scene with a faint smile, not saying anything. In his mind, though, he had already marked this person as unwelcome.
If he wanted to pick up other girls, Lin Yun wouldn't mind, even if he bragged about it. As long as the guy could pick up girls, Lin Yun recognised it as his capability. But he didn't like anyone trying to flirt with Xia Qingqing.
Nevertheless, he didn't have to react too strongly to it.
Xia Qingqing was extremely beautiful, and it was normal for males to have thoughts about her. As long as Xia Qingqing ignored them, it was fine.
If he became angry every time a guy had thoughts about Xia Qingqing, he could just die from anger.
The indifferent responses from Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng made Shu Lee feel a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, he noticed Lin Yun standing next to Xia Qingqing, with a smile on his face, which annoyed him.
Laughing! What the hell is he laughing at? Was he that funny?
Just who was this guy? What's his relationship with Xia Qingqing?
Although his expression remained unchanged, maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor and smile, he turned to Lin Yun and asked, "Brother, I don't recognize you. Which class are you from?"
