Don’t joke around Sister Ranran. If you bring him along aren’t you afraid he will be so scared he wets his pants.
Little Chen don’t get angry. It was only a joke. Han Feiyu added.
But in truth everyone could hear that the remark was not a joke at all.
Still apart from Jiang Tongran who looked somewhat unhappy no one else said much.
In everyone’s eyes the words did not count as mockery. They were simply the truth.
That kind of high class gathering where great families converged meant that any random person there possessed an extremely prominent and formidable status.
Any random young person was either a super rich second generation heir or a daughter of a great family.
To say nothing of all those big shots famous across Haidong.
An ordinary person going there would definitely feel extremely restrained and frightened.
Even Han Feiyu felt that if he went he might feel a little timid himself.
So there was even less need to mention Luo Chen.
No one discussed the matter any further and no one said anything more about Jiang Tongran being bullied either.
After all the whole group understood very clearly the gap between themselves and others so they did not dare harbour any thoughts.
In the end everyone dispersed to rest.
Only Han Feiyu watched with a cold smile as Luo Chen returned to Jiang Tongran’s room.
A mere security guard earning two thousand five hundred a month dares to compete with me for a woman. Even if you lived ten lifetimes you still would not be able to compete with me.
The next day Luo Chen arrived at the Xia family company.
He did not see Zhong Shengjie the entire day while Xia Xinxin mentioned during the meeting that Zhong Shengjie would no longer be coming to work in the future.
As for whether he had been fired or where the man had gone Xia Xinxin did not say. Everyone was tactful enough not to ask and seeing that Luo Chen was still there they seemed to understand something.
The attitude of the crowd towards Luo Chen also changed somewhat.
Moreover when Xia Xinxin announced that they had secured a project that could net two hundred million in pure profit within three months the entire company’s senior management gave Luo Chen warm applause.
This time it was not insincere but genuinely heartfelt.
Of course many people were still watching and waiting.
Soon it was time to finish work in the afternoon and Xia Xinxin had gone home specially to change into a black dress. She looked like a black rose with a cold and gorgeous temperament dazzling and radiant to the extreme.
The value of this outfit was probably five or six hundred thousand.
Compared with Xia Xinxin Luo Chen was dressed simply and casually.
When Xia Xinxin saw Luo Chen she could not help frowning and saying.
You are not planning to go dressed like that are you.
Luo Chen wore a white short sleeved shirt below a pair of casual trousers and did not even have a watch on his wrist.
In truth at Luo Chen’s level even if he wore stall bought clothes it did not matter.
Because if anyone truly recognised him they recognised the person not the clothes. In Luo Chen’s case the so called idea that clothes make the man had no effect at all.
After all strictly speaking Luo Chen was already no longer an ordinary mortal of the secular world so how could one still judge him with secular eyes.
But Xia Xinxin did not agree. She felt that Luo Chen dressing this way lacked dignity.
I have never needed clothes to add to my status or identity. Luo Chen said with a smile.
But Xia Xinxin felt that Luo Chen’s words sounded rather too pretentious.
Xia Xinxin and Luo Chen got into the Xia family’s Bentley.
The car finally arrived inside a private estate outside Haidong city centre. The estate was extremely luxurious inside.
The influence of Haidong’s few great families was enormous. Even the GDP of Haidong province was driven by these super great families.
At this moment the outside of the estate was already filled with luxury cars. Rolls Royces Ferraris Pagani Aston Martins and even several limited edition Bugattis.
The Xia family’s Bentley suddenly did not seem quite so grand.
At the estate entrance black clad men checked the invitation cards of those entering.
The invitation card had already been given to Luo Chen by Wang Yunyun the previous night so they entered very smoothly.
What met the eye inside was a swimming pool. Many blonde beauties and models with perfect figures twisted their sexy waists performing extremely seductive dance steps.
Inside the pool quite a few young people were already splashing about in the water.
These were all the young people from Haidong’s great families.
Luo Chen naturally had no interest in any of this and walked into the main hall inside the estate.
At this moment the banquet had not yet officially started and the Wang family people did not seem to have arrived.
Nor had the people from the various great families.
Instead a group of people had arrived first. Xia Xinxin seemed to feel a little embarrassed staying with Luo Chen like this after all Luo Chen’s outfit was really far too casual.
At a gathering of Haidong’s super great families who would not dress in the most luxurious way possible to show themselves off.
Only the truly elderly heads of great families would dress relatively simply and plainly. How could any ordinary young person dress like Luo Chen.
Everywhere were handsome men and beautiful women either young masters from great families or rich heiresses. Xia Xinxin had already wandered off somewhere.
It was unclear whether she had deliberately not wanted to stay with Luo Chen or had genuinely got lost.
The estate was indeed very large. Outside the main hall there was also a huge garden.
Luo Chen wandered aimlessly through the garden with a cigarette in his mouth.
Suddenly a voice called out to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen.
Luo Chen turned around and it was exactly Jiang Tongran Han Feiyu and the others.
Don’t tell me you are working as security here. Jiang Tongran was stunned.
She had not expected to meet Luo Chen at such a high end gathering and yesterday she had even said she would bring him here to broaden his horizons.
Yet today they had run into each other.
Otherwise what else could it be. He must be working security here. How else could he have got in. Han Feiyu said.
In his heart he had always looked down on Luo Chen so naturally he immediately assumed the worst about him.
Luo Chen did not explain. Jiang Tongran thought about it and realised it could only be that possibility.
Otherwise Luo Chen could not possibly have got in.
We will not chat with you now. We have to deliver the wine and leave. It took us ages of talking just now before they agreed to let us bring the wine in ourselves. Otherwise we could not have got in at all. Jiang Tongran said helplessly.
They could only enter because they were staff delivering beer. Otherwise it would have been impossible and they had only been given five minutes. They had to finish everything within five minutes and then leave.
After all this was a gathering of Haidong’s great families. Ordinary people truly did not have the qualifications to attend.
Han Feiyu and the others had already stopped paying attention to Luo Chen. Instead they looked around everywhere. This was their first time seeing such a super high end gathering.
The few of them looked particularly curious and excited. They even took out their phones and snapped a couple of selfies since they could brag about it to their friends later.
Luo Chen I will take the wine over first. We will leave after that. Jiang Tongran said.
Luo Chen looked thoughtfully at Jiang Tongran who was holding the box then headed towards the main hall.
By the time Jiang Tongran returned along the path Luo Chen was already carrying several extremely expensive items.
Australian king lobster. Alaskan king crab. Han Feiyu’s eyes were practically popping out.
But Jiang Tongran suddenly froze staring fixedly at the bottle of wine in Luo Chen’s hand.
A 1951 Penfolds Grange.
One bottle costs over thirty eight thousand US dollars.
Eat something before you go. Luo Chen opened the bottle directly.
This immediately startled Jiang Tongran. Bloody hell Luo Chen you are too bold. How dare you steal things.
