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.

She was now regretful, regretting that she had involved Xiao Han at all, otherwise, this situation wouldn’t have become so complicated. Lan Yudie understood clearly what kind of person Xiao Han was. As for the BMW car Ma Jing had seen, it was just borrowed from a friend, and not actually Xiao Han’s. Regarding Xiao Han’s so-called connections, that was merely Ma Jing’s fabrication. At this point, Lan Yudie was annoyed with herself for her own vanity, for having made such a spectacle.

“Director Xiao, where do you work?” an admirer of Lan Yudie asked curiously.

“I can’t say it’s anything prestigious, just starting my own business,” Xiao Han replied casually.

“Starting a business in what?” the man pressed.

“Just made some random ventures,” Xiao Han responded, “Started an electronics company early on, and later made some investments in restaurants.”

“Oh?” Liu Wendong, upon hearing this, laughed and said, “May I ask which company? Where is it located? I might as well visit some time.”

“No need for visits,” Xiao Han shook his head, “My business is primarily in Linjiang City, not in the provincial city.”

Haha…

The crowd burst into laughter. Clearly, everyone thought Xiao Han was lying, and to cover up his lie, he deliberately set his business ventures in Linjiang City, a place none of them could verify.

“However, I am planning to expand my business towards the provincial city,” Xiao Han quickly added.

“Director Xiao, how much does your company earn in a year?” Liu Wendong asked curiously.

“The electronics company makes about three to five hundred million a year, and the combined profits of several restaurant companies are about five to six hundred million,” Xiao Han shook his head, “It only adds up to just over a billion a year. Nowadays business is tough, the economy isn’t booming.”

Snort…

A girl immediately sprayed the coffee she was drinking. Earning over a billion a year and still claiming the economy isn’t booming, that business is hard? How is someone who earns just over three thousand a month supposed to live?

“What’s the matter?” Ma Jing looked at the girl.

“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.@@novelbin@@

“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.”
