Chapter 293: Chapter 295: Making a Fool of Myself
“Isn’t that obvious? Director Liu’s paper mill makes several million in profit each year.”
Many people flattered and fawned over him, hoping to ingratiate themselves with Liu Wendong so that they might secure a position at his factory if they ever found themselves in desperate straits, as a form of reemployment.
Liu Wendong, however, waved his hand and said, “Classmates, you needn’t praise me. How much money do I actually make in a year? I think Mr. Xiao Han makes more money than I do!”
The focus of the conversation immediately shifted to Xiao Han.
Everyone looked curiously at Xiao Han. Lan Yudie, however, frowned and asked Liu Wendong, “Liu Wendong, what do you mean by that? You know that Xiao Han and I are still studying, yet you come here to belittle us. What’s the point?”
Lan Yudie didn’t want Xiao Han to be embarrassed, so she had to step in.
Before Liu Wendong could speak, Xiao Han shielded Lan Yudie behind him, smiled, and said, “Director Liu is right, he earns over two million a year, and frankly, I don’t even consider it significant!”
Wow...
Everyone was shocked. How could a student dare to utter such words? Even if he were a PhD graduate, it wasn’t possible to earn that much money so effortlessly in a year, not to mention not even considering it significant? What sort of financial stature must one possess to not regard over two million as significant?
Liu Wendong was immediately displeased and scoffed, asking, “Tsk tsk, I never knew Xiao Han was the richest among us in disguise. Really couldn’t see it.”
As Lan Yudie was about to speak, Ma Jing quickly held her back.
“Don’t interfere,” Ma Jing hastily said, “It’s a battle among men, why must you, a woman, always interject? Let them fight it out. They should fight to the death. Besides, I see that Xiao Han has some backing, why don’t you let him temper Old Liu’s arrogance? Though Old Liu is a decent man, he’s young and thinks too highly of himself just because he made some money.”
“I...” Lan Yudie felt indescribably troubled.
“No... nothing!” The girl’s face turned red as she replied, “I just accidentally choked a little.”
A few people grinned at the girl, whose face became even redder.
Liu Wendong couldn’t hold back any longer: “Xiao Han, you didn’t say this earlier, you said you were studying for a PhD with Lan Yudie and only doing some part-time work outside, how did it suddenly turn into starting a business?”
“Starting a business is also part-time,” Xiao Han replied.
“Damn...” Liu Wendong couldn’t help but swear aloud.
“Mind your image!” Xiao Han chuckled.
“You say you earn over a billion a year, who would believe that?” Liu Wendong said disdainfully.
“If you don’t believe it, then forget it,” Xiao Han responded with a calm smile, “I’ve already told you the truth, if you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do, right?”
“You should at least provide some evidence,” Liu Wendong scoffed and then said, “Just words in the air, I surely can’t believe them.”
Lan Yudie became anxious, she knew Xiao Han was lying, just putting on a show to support her, but it seemed there was no way to continue covering this up. Lan Yudie wanted to speak, but Ma Jing held her back.
“Why are you so anxious?” Ma Jing glanced at Lan Yudie and said, “Xiao Han is holding steady, haven’t you noticed Liu Wendong is already anxious? Don’t panic.”
“How... how can I not panic?” Lan Yudie frowned and said, “They are all seasoned players, and Xiao Han is just a kid who hasn’t left the campus yet.”
