Liu Qiang put on a look of keeping things to himself and laughed, "Renting a car is great, it’s convenient! You just spend a little money and there’s a car for you without having to worry about maintenance. Unlike , you see, buying this BMW costs thousands each month just for maintenance. It’s a pain."
Liu Qiang intentionally spoke in reverse to boast about his BMW.
This guy is almost about to have the words "show off wealth" engraved on his forehead. How could Lin Fan not understand?
Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Is that so? Then why don’t you sell it and rent a car instead."
Liu Qiang wanted Lin Fan to admire him, but Lin Fan didn’t go along with it.
Liu Qiang was imdiately a little displeased, sneering inside, thinking Lin Fan, this dead broke guy, must be jealous of him driving a BMW!
"Selling it? That’s not going to happen. After all, I bought it, a brand new, fresh-off-the-lot car, costing over 500,000, all paid at once. It’s pricey, a bit regretful now. But if I sell it, it wouldn’t be worth much, I’d lose big, so I can only keep driving it myself." Liu Qiang sighed, continuing to boast.
Over 500,000, paid all at once!
This was the focus of Liu Qiang’s words.
Everyone heard this and showed expressions of amazent, exclaiming how wealthy Liu Qiang must be to pull out over 500,000 at once to buy a car. Amazing!
Seeing such reactions from everyone, Liu Qiang was very satisfied, feeling his sense of superiority fulfilled.
However...
Lin Fan chuckled, "A BMW for over 500,000, well, that’s not expensive and can’t be considered a good car."
The car he drives, a 70 million Kosak and an 8 million Rolls-Royce Cullinan, those are the real good cars, truly fitting the na of luxury cars. A BMW for over 500,000 is really just a junior.
Lin Fan’s words weren’t wrong at all, and he had the qualification to say that. For soone like him, a trillionaire, to not fancy a car worth 500,000 is such a normal thing!
However, his words shocked everyone.
What the hell!
Lin Fan said what? With this attitude, this dead broke guy doesn’t even think much of a BMW over 500,000?
Liu Qiang almost didn’t have his nose twisted in anger. His intention was to have Lin Fan complint and flatter him. Lin Fan didn’t flatter him, let alone, but instead looked down on it?
What kind of move is this, who gave this dead broke guy the courage!
"Haha, indeed, it’s not good. Even Brother Fan doesn’t think much of it, but Xia Li is better." Liu Qiang said mockingly.
Upon hearing this, everyone chuckled, Liu Qiang really nailed it with the sarcasm, perfect score for snark. Exactly, what qualification does Lin Fan have, soone who drives a Xia Li, to look down on a BMW?
Lin Fan smiled, "I don’t know if Xia Li is good or not, this car is rented, I’ve only driven it twice."
Liu Qiang chuckled, "Yeah, rented."
He emphasized the tone, mocking Lin Fan for lying, unwilling to admit he’s driving a broken car.
Everyone started to snicker secretly.
The atmosphere on site beca sowhat awkward.
Jia Xiaoling then said, "Don’t just keep chatting about cars, I can’t understand you guys, why do you like talking about cars so much? The school celebration is about to start, let’s go in quickly."
Jia Xiaoling’s words ended the contest between Lin Fan and Liu Qiang.
It seed this round, Liu Qiang won, after all, he’s driving a BMW, Lin Fan’s driving a Xia Li. Liu Qiang was being praised and surrounded by everyone as they entered the school gate.
No one was willing to co over and cozy up to Lin Fan, this dead broke guy is poor enough, let alone he doesn’t know how to act, daring to go against Brother Qiang. Not flattering Brother Qiang would be one thing, but to even dare to look down on a BMW, does he have the qualification, truly doesn’t know how to act.
Lin Fan watched all of this, finding it amusing internally. He had a reason for not liking school reunions, these kind of reunions were full of comparison and flattery, the bond among classmates seed like nothing but a joke.
Riiing... Riiing...
Lin Fan’s phone rang at this mont. Lin Fan looked, it was a call from the rental car company, so he answered it.
"Mr. Lin, your rental ti is almost up, would you like to renew? If not, please return the car promptly." The other side said.
Lin Fan said, "I won’t renew, but I’m also not free to return the car now, how about you bring my car over and swap it, I’ll tip you."
"Alright, Mr. Lin." The other side agreed.
Lin Fan then hung up the phone.
Jia Xiaoling ca over at this mont, saying, "Lin Fan, sorry, if I had known they were like this, I wouldn’t have asked you to co along."
Jia Xiaoling wasn’t a fool, how could she not see that these classmates looked down on Lin Fan because the car he drove didn’t seem great.
Indeed, Jia Xiaoling, though she didn’t understand cars, had heard of BMW being a luxury car, while Lin Fan’s brand she hadn’t heard of, certainly not as good as a BMW.
Lin Fan smiled, among all these classmates, the only one not shallow was Jia Xiaoling.
Though Lin Fan didn’t have romantic feelings for Jia Xiaoling, he did have a liking for her, she was truly a high school buddy.
"It’s okay, I ca because of you." Lin Fan smiled.
Jia Xiaoling was stunned, Lin Fan’s words could easily be misunderstood. She was already married and had children, it was impossible with Lin Fan...
The group of classmates entered the school.
The school was quite lively at this mont, with the centennial celebration going quite grandly. Apart from current students, there were past students invited to co, and also so celebrities from various social circles invited to join.
Additionally, there were past students who ca on their own, so the school was bustling for a while.
The school’s publicity was to welco past students to participate in the centennial celebration. Although they weren’t independently invited by the school, as long as they were past students, they could attend.
Because of this, Lin Fan and the others were able to enter the school without obstruction.
However, past students who ca by themselves were not given any hospitality, they had to find a place themselves and move freely.
The centennial celebration was held at the soccer field, and the spots set up on site were for current students and invited guests. Past students who ca on their own could only stand on the outskirts, acting as spectators.
There was no choice, while the school claid to welco past students, from the school’s perspective, those not invited were not important.
People who are not important naturally do not receive high-level treatnt.
The centennial celebration was about to start soon; students were already entering, and school leaders were accompanying the invited guests to their seats.
Past students who could only act as spectators envied those invited to sit among the honored guests.
Those people have really succeeded, by comparison, those people are successful individuals, while they are failures. To the school, these failures are just passing clouds.
Lin Fan mingled with the past students watching, but unlike those around him who were filled with envy looking inside, Lin Fan wasn’t envious of those successful individuals at all.
If it weren’t for bumping into Jia Xiaoling on the way, he probably wouldn’t have co to join in the fun.
Now, he was rely here to catch up with classmates a bit, but based on the eting just now, this catch-up didn’t seem aningful anymore.
"Lin Fan, isn’t that Lai Xiaoi? I’ve heard you were in the sa middle school, well, she’s amazing, sitting in the guest seats, while you..."
Liu Qiang, standing nearby, said mockingly, seemingly still holding a grudge from earlier.
The classmates hearing this all started to snicker, indeed, compared to Lai Xiaoi, Lin Fan really paled in comparison.
