Huang He felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle.

Two silly boys stood on his left and right. Xia Chi had a harmless smile on his lips, while Hao Shuai adjusted his cuffs, his eyes curved into crescents with a smile.

The flowing air seemed to be mixed with ice chips, and even the staff passing by took a detour unconsciously.

The director hadn't expected someone to take such a shabby opportunity. He rubbed his hands like flies. "Both teachers are young talents. Teacher Hao's acting skills are well-known to all, and Teacher Xia was personally recommended by President Yuan..." His eyes flicked back and forth between them. "With these two young talents joining forces, our team is truly a powerful force."

[Who are you scolding? You're just flattering the horse.]

[Who wants to be compared with a resourceful person like him? ]

Xia Chi kept smiling.

Aren’t you also...Yuan Yuzhen’s pretty boy?

Hao Shuai gritted his teeth secretly.

He recognized Yuan Yuzhen upstairs, the industry's famous gold medal producer - who had rejected him twice!

The director caught a glimpse of Hao Shuai's increasingly angry face. He assessed the situation and quickly interrupted, "Oh, it's so hot! Xiaoli, quickly bring over two bottles of Coke to quench your thirst."

"No thanks," Hao Shuai said, "I only drink Chateldon..."

The director choked for a moment, then slapped his forehead. "Oh, I almost forgot Mr. Hao's rules. I prepared them especially for you. Mr. Hao, please take a seat first. I'll get it from the trunk."

After Huang He left, the two of them were left with an awkward atmosphere, looking at each other, neither of them liking each other.

[Shh, this guy, I didn't say anything, why does he act like a fighting cock when he sees me?]

Xia Chi muttered to himself.

Hao Shuai's eyebrows twitched.

etc!

I felt something was wrong just now! Now I can finally see it clearly.

This guy didn't even move his lips when he spoke!

Can I hear his voice?

Hao Jian's breathing became rapid, and suddenly the voice of a blind fortune teller he met in his childhood rang in his ears.

"Young Master's destiny is indescribably noble. He will surely awaken his supernatural powers one day!"

Hao Shuai suddenly stood up straight, looked down at his hands as an ordinary rich second generation, and his second-year soul began to burn fiercely.

Could it be that... this mortal body is finally beginning to awaken?

I knew I had special abilities!!!

Twenty-three years of shackles...

finally……

A glass of iced American coffee with water droplets on it was placed in the palm of my hand.

Assistant Xiao Wang asked considerately, "Mr. Hao? Would you like some coffee?"

Just then, makeup artist Ken came over and looked at the Maserati parked at the door with eyes full of longing.

"Master Hao's car is so cool, it must be very expensive."

"It's only about eight million," Hao Shuai said, waving his hand modestly. "My dad was planning to buy me a Bugatti, but I think it's too ostentatious."

Facing envious glances from all around, Hao Shuai took the opportunity to raise his chin three centimeters and looked at his poor competitor with a proud look.

The poor Xia Chi used to be an apprentice in a car repair shop, but this was his first time seeing a Maserati. His eyes were completely glued to it. He walked around the car three times, his fingers stroking the curve of the door. The sunlight flowed on the azure paint, making his eyes shine.

[It really is a luxury car...]

He sighed in his heart...

Mortals, have never seen it?

Hao Shuai listened to the envy in his heart, drank the coffee handed to him by his assistant proudly, and crossed his legs.

[It’s a pity that I met the wrong person…]

Xia Chi shook his head.

[How could such a serious Maserati be paired with such a fool...]

[It's been modified beyond recognition...]

"puff……"

Hao Shuai almost spit out a mouthful of iced coffee. He sat up straight with veins throbbing on his forehead.

How dare you, a mere mortal, comment on my vehicle?

This was carefully modified by a friend of mine at the motorcycle dealership.

Stupid ants!

【I was really screwed by my friend. 】

[It must be a scam to modify the speakers, wheels, or paint to make the luxury car look cooler...]

Hao Shuai: ???

How do you, a mortal, know this?

[This is how newbies are tricked...]

Hao Shuai: ...

[After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new car, the original engine was removed and replaced with a used one as soon as it arrived at the dealership, leaving millions of dollars behind...]

Hao Shuai: “!!!”

What the hell!!!

My...engine...

Without an imported engine, what kind of Maserati is it? Isn't it just a giant toy?

[Didn't this idiot notice that the fuel consumption has increased? ]

[Forget it, a fool is a fool. Even the engine can be swapped, so what does fuel consumption mean...]

【Not at all distressed.】

No!

Hao Shuai holds his heart.

I feel bad...

[The motor was also replaced with a Wuling Hongguang one, wow...]

[This is a bit insulting, my friend.]

puff--

Hao Shuai was about to vomit blood.

His gaze suddenly turned to an assistant beside him, and he whispered, "Xiao Zhang, I remember this car was modified by a friend you introduced. I heard that he's the son-in-law of your nephew's second uncle."

Xiao Zhang's face turned pale. "Yes... yes, aren't you quite satisfied with this modification?"

"Oh... satisfied, I am quite satisfied..."

Hao Shuai swallowed the remaining blood in his mouth.

How dare the thief!

He actually exchanged my Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron for mortal scrap iron!

Get ready for the lawsuit!

Ken also walked around the Maserati and came back, full of praise.

"Look, look, the lines of the car are handcrafted in Italy, the curve of the tail wing is sexy, and even the exhaust pipe exudes an aristocratic temperament~"

[By the way, it seems the exhaust pipe has also been replaced...]

Hao Shuai clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.

Ken noticed the watch on his wrist.

"Master Hao, your car... matches your outfit perfectly." He strained his throat and drew out a long tone, his fingers casually running across the dial. "This workmanship, this quality, this style, I've never seen anything like it before..."

Xiao Li next to him immediately started to boast: "Of course not, this is a real antique that Hao Shao bought for 1.6 million. It's a cloisonné enamel Rolex, you know? It should have been lying in a glass cabinet in a museum~"

"One million and six hundred thousand," Ken said, staring blankly, "Master Hao is wearing a house on his head."

There was an exaggerated gasp all around. Hao Shuai was praised and felt happy. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and the unpleasantness just now was instantly thrown behind his mind.

He twirled his wrist in a casual manner. "It's just a watch," he said, his voice rising brightly. "I saw the pattern was unique, so I bought it for fun."

【puff--】

[He drives such an expensive car and wears a fake watch.]

Fake watch?

Hao Shuai glared!

Look carefully at this, this is an antique that I bought from the auction at a cost of 1.8 million spirit stones!

Unrecognizable stuff!

[I thought it was an antique, but it must have been a setup.]

Hao Shuai: “???”

Setting up a trap?

[Who would have thought that these scammers would go to such extreme lengths to make money?]

The whole thing was a masterful job, even more exciting than the Hengdian Film Studios! The old Bund villas rented for over 100,000 yuan a day, the auctioneers were professional actors, and the bidders were all hired as agents. The various extras were paid 800 yuan a day. The most amazing thing was the gold-stamped auction catalogue: the first 20 pages were filled with genuine Forbidden City watches, just to highlight the finale, a cloisonné enamel Rolex.

[The show started with a few "Ming and Qing Dynasty official kiln" pieces to warm up the audience. The "microwave safe" label underneath the blue and white porcelain hadn't even been removed cleanly, yet some shills managed to sell it for 600,000 yuan.]

Hao Shuai recalled the scene of that day.

How did you know!!!

The real drama begins when Hao Shuai starts raising his bids. When he calls out "1.8 million," the auctioneer's hands are shaking—not with excitement, but with trying to contain his laughter! The moment the deal is struck, the entire audience stands and applauds.

[Thinking silently: Thank you, my sponsor! ]

Xia Chi couldn't help but glance at Hao Shuai.

[This fool even became proud on the spot.]

[True Hao Shuai Charity Foundation aka Walking Alms Box]

[The real version of stupid people with lots of money...]

Hao Shuai was stunned.

The heart-wrenching sound continued.

[I didn't even open it to see it. It says "Made in Guangzhou 2018" on the movement.]

This is truly the most outrageous pig-killing scam of the 21st century. Hao Shuai, the unfortunate victim, was treated like a leek and was ripped off cleanly and efficiently.

How could this idiot possibly know that the entire auction venue was prepared just for him!

[Again, it's for this dish of vinegar dumplings! ]

Tears welled up in Hao Shuai's eyes.

What a great formation to conceal the truth from the world!

Even the deity can be deceived!

[I even spent an extra 300,000 yuan to buy a snuff bottle for 19.9 yuan, but didn't I put it on Taobao to compare it?]

After comparing, Xiao Wang told me that the ones on Taobao are all imitations.

I own one piece from the Forbidden City, and this one is the real one...

Hao Shuai's gaze immediately turned to another assistant.

"Xiao Wang..."

"Hey, young master, what do you want me to do?" Xiao Wang answered very attentively.

"Why are you also..." Hao Shuai's voice was hoarse.

You bastard!

When my merits are complete, I will kill all of you!

Xiao Wang was confused by his angry look. When he met Xiao Zhang's eyes, he realized that the sponsor was in a bad mood today.

No, was it because I didn't praise him enough just now? Was the landlord's stupid son dissatisfied?

Xiao Wang immediately said to Ken, whose eyes were shining, "That's nothing! The treasures in Young Master Hao's collection are enough to buy a building! Just take out Old Master Hao's assets. Even a single hair would be thicker than our thighs!"

[Eh, yo…]

[Mr. Hao must be worried sick, raising such a money-loser... and surrounded by all sorts of evil spirits.]

[But this kid feels his father looks down on him, so he's determined to make a career, even spending a fortune on various film and television dramas just to get a bit of publicity.]

[No wonder his father blocked his credit card and only gave him living expenses.]

[With my meager living expenses, I can no longer afford to invest in any major projects, so I've been reduced to appearing in short dramas, just to satisfy my desire to be the male lead...]

[Tsk tsk…]

[She was severely neglected since she was little. Her parents divorced, and her father only gave her money. She was sent abroad to study at a young age and was severely bullied. When she came back, she just wanted to make a name for herself. Unfortunately...]

[It's a pity that they all look down on you. You just don't strive for progress. No one helps you to reach your goals. You just can't get ahead. Everyone laughs at you. You just happen to be the funniest. If you had some ability, you wouldn't be completely without any ability. Gold will always shine. But you just happen to be my friend~]①

Hao Shuai sank completely into the sofa.

It felt like being pierced by a javelin.

Could it be that I am... really a waste?

【Heaven is unfair, and even the most unfair one can be found here! 】

Xia Chi suddenly screamed in his heart.

[How can such an idiot drive a Maserati? And yet I, a handsome and normal person, am still riding an electric scooter!]

[No, I need to understand. What kind of person could have such a bizarre fate? Let me calculate it, let me calculate it!]

Xia Chi clenched his fingers.

[What?! He is the Tianyi noble?!]

Hao Jian: ???

What is Tianyi Guiren?

[The most auspicious star in Eight Characters Numerology! Flowers bloom, and driving a car will cause a flat tire.]

[Commonly known as "someone sent by God to help you."]

Xia Chi couldn't help but look at the person on the sofa twice more.

[That's it?!]

This is truly the worst Tianyi nobleman I've ever encountered. He's not a nobleman at all, he's just noble to others—wherever he goes, everyone around him gets rich.

[The year he was born, his father won the bid for his project, and his career has been on the rise ever since.]

The auction house's KPIs were fully met that year.

[The owner of the auto repair shop bought a house with his engines.]

Every film crew he's been to has achieved common prosperity by taking advantage of him.

[All the friends who called themselves brothers and sisters became rich.]

[This is a walking ATM that has become a spirit...]

[How did I become a money-spending kid? ]

Xia Chi suddenly understood.

【I understand, I understand...】

[Why does this crew look so much like a pig-killing scheme...]

[It turns out this is a pig-killing scam! ]

[It turns out that Huang He wanted to kill the fat pig of the Hao family...]

【Slip away.】
