Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality Chapter 836 421: Jealousy Among the Elite
In the circle of wealthy young masters, Nie Hongchen is a celebrity.
If chaos in life had levels, Nie Hongchen would undoubtedly be at the top tier.
As a junior director of an entertainnt group, Nie Hongchen is constantly surrounded by flowers.
Today, he hosts a model competition; tomorrow, a singing gala.
The key is that Nie Hongchen never refuses anyone.
According to gossip tabloids, Young Master Nie sings every night, with a different woman every day.
Over a year, the number of people he's been with exceeds a thousand.
With the open-mindedness of the entertainnt industry, many won see this as a credential, causing quite a sensation in the entertainnt circle.
Once, a third-rate internet celebrity's value skyrocketed after a short fling with Nie Hongchen, frequenting major clubs.
Even though she only stayed famous for a few months, the endorsent fees she earned in that ti were more than many people earn in a lifeti.
It's said that within months, she managed to buy a house in the wealthy district outside Xiang Island.
With one success story, many eager learners followed suit.
Luo ixiang is not soone detached from worldly matters; she knows the value of money, but compared to her, Nie Hongchen is not particularly rich.
If it's not about money, then it's about character, but Nie Hongchen's character is certainly not worth discussing.
She clearly has better options, so why involve herself in Nie Hongchen's troubles?
"Luo ixiang, there are a few directors waiting for you over there, co have a drink with ?"
Nie Hongchen forced a smile, reaching out to grab Luo ixiang without her consent.
Luo ixiang furrowed her delicate brows slightly and instinctively avoided his hand, then stepped back to Lin Beichen's side.
In that instant, the smile on Nie Hongchen's face froze, anger blazing in his eyes.
"Luo ixiang, who is this person? Your friend? Why didn't you introduce him to earlier?"
Zhao Yilian strolled over softly, exuding a touch of allure and laziness, regarding Lin Beichen with a bewitching gaze.
Liu Yunxi and others, unaccustod to such enchanting vibes, were instantly enamored, not knowing where to place their hands.
"I'm just chatting with friends, one after another, what exactly do you want?"
Luo ixiang looked at the two with a bit of helplessness, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes.
She is not a naïve girl unfamiliar with the world but an influential figure capable of handling financial matters on behalf of her family.
Luo ixiang quickly scanned the scene, her gaze quickly calming down.
These people did not surround her just to et Lin Beichen.
"This is Professor Lin, and as for these folks, they are people from the entertainnt industry. Nie Hongchen, the second director of International Entertainnt, a big shot in Xiang Island's entertainnt scene."
Liu Yunxi and others were shocked, not expecting this gentleman to be the legendary entertainnt mogul.
International Entertainnt, a leading entity in Xiang Island's entertainnt industry, went public over a decade ago, boasting countless artists and film resources, with a scale in the billions.
"Professor Lin?"
Nie Hongchen was slightly stunned, feeling as though he had seen Lin Beichen sowhere before.
However, with Luo ixiang present, he couldn't ponder for long.
Only to see Nie Hongchen smile slightly, exuding the deanor of a landlord.
"So you are Luo ixiang's friend. Professor Lin, where do you work, if you don't mind sharing?"
In the mainland, being called a professor signifies being an elite, but in Xiang Island, even a dentist could be called a professor.
In Xiang Island, wealth is king.
Education? The sons of these noble families never cared about education.
Lin Beichen looked at Nie Hongchen indifferently, knowing what he was thinking.
"I'm not employed anywhere, just doing so research at a school."
Lin Beichen said calmly.
If he hadn't co to Xiang Island, he indeed wouldn't understand the mindset of people like Nie Hongchen.
After all, in the mainland, a strong academic atmosphere exists, and those with knowledge are recognized as societal elites.
rely having money isn't enough for widespread acclaim in the mainstream environnt.
However, after spending a week in Xiang Island, Lin Beichen had figured out these people's mindset.
The society of Xiang Island is thoroughly obsessed with wealth, perhaps because of the imnse life pressure, manifesting an obstinate obsession with wealth from top to bottom.
In their eyes, there's no problem that money can't solve.
Although Nie Hongchen appeared to ask about his job, in reality, he was inquiring about his background.
"Doing a little research at school?"
Nie Hongchen smiled slightly.
Lin Beichen didn't catch the implication of his words, revealing a trace of contempt.
He asked Lin Beichen about his job, yet Lin Beichen spoke about work.
Answering irrelevantly proved they were not from the sa circle.
How could Luo ixiang mix with soone like this?
What rubbish of a professor? Even if it were a professorial appointnt, so what?
It's just working under a different identity. Did he really think he was qualified to stand on equal footing with us?
At the sa ti, he felt more disdain towards Yuan Yanan.
One's circle directly reflects one's level.
Yuan Yanan being friends with Lin Beichen indicates she too is a woman of humble origin.
Such a woman doesn't even have the qualification to be invited by him.
"Professor Lin is so fond of research, why venture into the extravagant world of Xiang Island? Aren't you afraid of getting lost amidst the splendor?"
Nie Hongchen sneered, looking at Lin Beichen full of ridicule.
"This party of mine is a top-tier gathering in Xiang Island. Mr. Lin, you must not have seen it before, right?
Moreover, those invited by are either from noble families or celebrities. How co I haven't heard of Professor Lin's na? Surely you didn't sneak in?"
"You needn't worry about that. We may not co from noble backgrounds, but we didn't sneak in. Lu Zhengxu brought us in."
Liu Yunxi couldn't stand it and stepped forward coldly.
From the start, Nie Hongchen charged at Lin Beichen, with words full of disdain, clearly viewing Lin Beichen as a competitor.
In terms of background, they were certainly no match for Nie Hongchen, but who says one must endure humiliation quietly?
It's just that they wouldn't be part of this circle.
Xiang Island is vast; if they aren't in Nie Hongchen's circle, life goes on.
Besides, the mainland and Xiang Island are entirely different; Nie Hongchen is a big shot in Xiang Island, but who would recognize him in the mainland?
"Lu Zhengxu?"
Nie Hongchen was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter, leaving Liu Yunxi and the others puzzled.
"Xiao Wu, did you hear what they called you just now? They actually called you 'Mr.' You're nothing but a clown I keep, when did you also beco a 'Mr.'?"
Nie Hongchen laughed until he shed tears, waving his hand as if summoning a household pet.
Lu Zhengxu promptly ran forward, his face full of flattery.
Behind Lu Zhengxu followed the sha-faced Yuan Yanan, who wished she could cover her face.
As if unaware of what humiliation is, Lu Zhengxu not only showed no embarrassnt but wore a slight look of pride.
"Young Master, these people were with Yuan Yanan. I took pity on them and brought them over to join the fun so they could see what high society looks like.
If you are unhappy with it, I will imdiately have them driven out."
With that, his face turned stern as he pointed at Lin Beichen and the others, shouting:
"You penniless wretches, how dare you displeasure the young master? Get out imdiately, and don't let the young master see you again!"
Lu Zhengxu was extrely frightened.
With Nie Hongchen's stern face, he considered the sky about to fall, not daring to offend.
Even though he had so businesses, they all rely on the goodwill of various noble families to make a living.
Unlike regular families, his family's role for generations had been serving as servants to noble families.
Xiang Island is so small, resources are really scarce.
The upper class holds over ninety percent.
Countless people crave to curry favor with Young Master Nie; how could a nobody like him achieve his current status?
On regular days, he relied on deceit, finding beauties from all over to appease Young Master Nie's pleasure, thus earning his place today.
He couldn't lose Young Master Nie's trust just for Yuan Yanan.
Perhaps, it's not even considered trust, but a kind of charity!
