Fake Goods

"What if I can't stand it? You heard him too. The backing behind him now is the Shilin Guomao Group. I'm not his match, let alone you."

"I know you feel it's unfair to me, but buddy, I don't want to push you into a raging inferno just to satisfy a moment of anger."

"Listen to my advice, just take it as being bitten by a dog today and endure it."

Hearing this, Lin Chen didn't know whether to laugh or laugh.

Cheng Gang said this entirely because he didn't know how terrifying Lin Chen's current background was.

If he had known, he would have asked Lin Chen to help him teach Zuo Yikai a harsh lesson right away.

However, it was precisely because Cheng Gang didn't know that Lin Chen was deeply moved.

If it were someone else in this situation, with help available, they would have probably already let him go fight.

They wouldn't care if it was a raging inferno below.

"Alright, I'll listen to you this time, buddy."

"But I, Lin Chen, promise you, after today, your Zuo family will absolutely not be able to get by in Zhonghai."

At this moment, Lin Chen's eyes were filled with a chilling coldness, indicating the immense rage he was suppressing in his heart.

"Good."

Seeing that Lin Chen didn't make a move, Cheng Gang breathed a sigh of relief.

However, regarding Lin Chen's words about making the Zuo family unable to get by in Zhonghai after today, he didn't believe it one bit.

After all, as his good friend, he knew Lin Chen's background all too well.

Making the Zuo family, backed by the Shilin Guomao Group, unable to get by in Zhonghai was simply impossible.

Or, to put it another way, it was pure fantasy.

However, Qin Xueqing, standing beside them, firmly believed Lin Chen's words.

She had witnessed his capabilities.

After all, he was the major shareholder behind Zhonghai First Hospital. It would be incredibly easy for him to ruin a corporate family in Zhonghai.

Even if this family was backed by the powerful Shilin Guomao Group, it would only make the process a bit more troublesome and tricky.

But only a bit troublesome and tricky, because everyone gets sick.

Even a giant like the Shilin Guomao Group wouldn't offend such a large hospital for a small business partner.

For a moment, her gaze towards the arrogant and overbearing Zuo Yikai became exceptionally sympathetic.

After all, offending such a colossal figure without realizing it and still feeling smug and pleased with himself.

It truly exemplified the saying, "ignorance is bliss."

"You want to make me unable to get by? Lin Chen, how dare you say that to my face?"

Although Lin Chen and Cheng Gang spoke softly, their words still reached the ears of others.

Even though Zuo Yikai was far away and couldn't hear them, his subordinates did.

And upon hearing it, they naturally relayed it to the person concerned.

This led to the scene that followed.

"What? Zuo Yikai, you're talking about me, and my buddy can't stand up for me?"

"Stand up for you? Fine, but does he have the right?"

"Just look at his shabby..."

Halfway through his sentence, Zuo Yikai's throat suddenly choked.

Because he saw that Lin Chen was wearing clothes from the Louis Vuitton LV brand.

Anyone with some money in their family would be familiar with such luxury goods, let alone Zuo Yikai, from the Zuo family backed by the Shilin Guomao Group.

At this moment, Zuo Yikai looked at Lin Chen with disbelief.

Because what Lin Chen was wearing was the most popular and best-selling Louis Vuitton LV luxury clothing of the year.

Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't afford these clothes that surprised him, but rather that he was surprised that this scumbag Lin Chen could actually afford them.

However, after a brief moment of surprise and daze, Zuo Yikai snapped back to reality.

At this moment, he looked at Lin Chen with a sarcastic and disdainful expression and said, "What? Don't think you're rich just because you're wearing a fake Louis Vuitton LV from Taobao?"

"Let me tell you, fake is fake, and it can never become genuine."

"It's people like you, scumbags, who would wear these knock-offs."

"Truly a trash who values appearances."

Clearly, in his eyes, the Louis Vuitton LV brand luxury clothes Lin Chen was wearing were fakes.

"Oh? So they're fake? No wonder I thought his clothes looked so fancy earlier. Turns out they're imitation Louis Vuitton LV brands."

"That's right. I just checked. The clothes Lin Chen is wearing are the latest and best-selling style from Louis Vuitton LV this year, costing a full three hundred thousand. If these clothes are real, I'll eat shit right now."

"Exactly. Don't you guys think about Lin Chen's family background? It's a pipe dream to accumulate enough to buy thirty thousand dollar brand clothes in just a few years."

"I really didn't expect our school's esteemed campus heartthrob to stoop to wearing fake branded clothes. It's truly embarrassing."

"Yeah, it really is quite embarrassing. If you don't have money, no one will say anything. After all, one's status is determined from birth. But if you deliberately wear fake clothes, that's just a bit disgusting."

For a moment, all the classmates began to murmur amongst themselves, and their gazes towards Lin Chen all turned strange.

It was clear that in their eyes, he was being incredibly childish and pathetic at this moment.

To be so concerned with appearances that he'd resort to wearing counterfeit goods, and then to be exposed on the spot – it was simply too mortifying.

"Lin Chen..."

At this moment, Cheng Gang also noticed Lin Chen's attire.

Previously, all his attention had been focused on booking the hotel and figuring out how to confess to Qin Xueqing.

So, after just greeting Lin Chen, he hadn't paid much attention.

Now that everyone was bringing it up, he finally realized that Lin Chen was wearing the Louis Vuitton LV clothes that he himself had been considering buying not long ago.

However, that particular outfit was too expensive, which was why he hadn't bought it.

Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't afford it. His family owned quite a few Louis Vuitton LV branded clothes.

But this set was different. It was the most popular and best-selling style of the year, with the jacket and pants together costing a full three hundred thousand.

But if he really wanted to buy it, he could have managed with a bit of a pinch.

It was just that, in his mind, spending three hundred thousand on a set of summer clothes felt excessively extravagant.

After all, while his family was wealthy, they weren't so wealthy that they could completely disregard the price tags on luxury goods.

However, what surprised Cheng Gang somewhat was how similar Lin Chen's clothes were to the genuine article.

Even with the real item placed right in front of him, he couldn't find any difference.

Of course, he didn't believe Lin Chen was wearing the real thing. He simply thought the counterfeiting technique for this particular outfit was too masterful.

It had managed to achieve a level of verisimilitude that made it indistinguishable from the real thing.

"Fake?"

Hearing everyone's comments, Qin Xueqing inwardly sneered.

Given Lin Chen's current net worth, would he have any reason to buy fake clothes to wear?

It was akin to the world's richest man, Bill Gates, needing to buy a fake item because he couldn't afford the real one.

She had to admit, it was the most ridiculous joke she had ever heard in her life.
