Chapter 6 - Compromise Because of Money?

LI Costume Design Company is located in the commercial center of Jiangshi City.

There were 360 elites gathered in this building, and Lin Xi was naturally one of them. She could be considered to be the best in the fashion design field.

Like many designers, Lin Xi's dream was to become the world's top designer and own her own clothing brand.

Not only did brands have to be household names, but they also had to be in the best fashion week, just like a certain V.

LI was actually short for Lead International, meaning to be the leader in international trends. From this, one could see Lin Xi's long-cherished wish.

After graduation, Lin Xi continued to pursue this path. She took on the design work of many international brands and opened her own design company.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but Lin Xi was still extremely far from her final dream.

To put it bluntly, talent was not enough. What was more important was connections and funds.

If one could easily stand on the stage, then this industry was too worthless.

Many outstanding designers could not achieve all of this even until their deaths.

As childhood sweethearts, Chen Che naturally knew Lin Xi's wish. On the way here, he had secretly made up his mind that when the repayment period was up, he would definitely help Lin Xi fulfill her dream.

It took him two hours to walk here. It was time to get off work.

Chen Che did not enter. He sent a message to Lin Xi and waited patiently in front of the door.

Many men and women kept walking out of the building, chatting and laughing. Although they were not from the same company, they were all dressed in suits and looked energetic.

Looking at Chen Che, who was standing in front of the door, he was still wearing his work clothes. Compared to these people, he was obviously not on the same level and looked out of place.

Looking at the white-collar workers coming and going, Chen Che was not envious. In his heart, everyone had their own way of living, as long as they were happy.

His mentality had always been so optimistic.

Originally, Chen Che's attire would not attract any attention, but at this moment, the VJ was following behind him. This could not help but become an eye-catching scene.

Everyone who went out would subconsciously take a few glances and quickly recognize him.

"Look, look, this is Chen Che, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes. My husband even shared his video with me today. I really don't understand. How can there be such a poor man in this world?"

"That's right. I don't know what Lin Xi is thinking. Why did she take a fancy to him? Is it because he's uncultured? Is it because he doesn't take a shower?"

"Sigh, I thought my boyfriend was poor enough, but compared to him, I feel that my boyfriend is rich."

"Haha, there's no harm without comparison."

"What are you talking about? What's wrong with this delivery man?"

"Don't you know? There's a reality show in our city, and he's one of the contestants. His actions are simply world-shattering."

"Ah? There's such a thing? Quickly share it with me."

If it attracted attention, there would naturally be gossip.

Looking at everyone whispering to each other, Chen Che knew that they were talking about him, but he did not care at all and kept a smile on his face.

The live-stream was also constantly flooded with comments, complaining that Chen Che was thick-skinned and shouldn't have come here to embarrass Lin Xi.

"Yo! You're the most popular man in Jiangshi City! 200,000 people are watching your performance today. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

At this moment, a strange voice sounded.

Looking in the direction of the voice, a man in a suit walked over with a smile, but this smile was obviously a sneer.

Knowing that he was up to no good, Chen Che spread his hands. "It can't be helped since everyone likes watching it? Why? Are you envious?"

The man in the suit chuckled. "Chen Che, are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid? Can't you tell?"

"Everyone just treats you like a clown and feels pity for Lin Xi even more. Do you think everyone really wants to see you poor?"

Chen Che pursed his lips and said righteously, "It's your right to see it or not. I didn't beg for you to watch it. As for what I am, it's not up to you to judge."

"Besides, Lin Xi doesn't despise me. That's enough. And I won't be poor forever."

"Hahaha! Chen Che, Chen Che, your words are really the biggest joke I've heard recently!" After a pause, the man in the suit said bluntly, "Let everyone see. With your clothes, is there any possibility of becoming rich?"

"I dare to say now that you'll always be a small fry at the bottom. You're not worthy of being with Lin Xi!"

With that, the man in the suit crossed his arms and sneered.

That's right, he wanted to verbally attack Chen Che and embarrass him!

As the man in the suit clamored, the surrounding people also stopped in their tracks, looking like they were watching a good show.

Being looked down upon by others also attracted a crowd. Chen Che was very calm and disdainful to argue with the other party.

The reason was very simple. A year later, this trash in front of him would definitely not be able to reach his level!

Besides, how could a dog bite him back?

Looking at the man in the suit's high and mighty appearance, Chen Che's expression did not change. "Whatever you say. Anyway, Lin Xi and I are together. If you're jealous and envious, you can only endure it."

This sentence was undoubtedly a critical hit. The man in the suit was so angry that his face darkened and he almost went berserk.

Moreover, Chen Che's indifferent attitude made the man in the suit even angrier.

He wanted to humiliate Chen Che today. How could he give up so easily?

After a moment of silence, the man in the suit thought of an idea. His expression changed and he smiled.

Like good buddies, he took the initiative to put his arms around Chen Che's shoulders.

"Brother, don't force yourself. We're all men. Actually, I understand that it's not easy for you."

"What I said just now was indeed a little harsh. I apologize to you."

"How about this? As long as you stay away from Lin Xi, I'll immediately give you a hundred thousand dollars and introduce you to a decent job."

"With money and a job, you don't have to eat instant noodles or pick up clothes to wear anymore. You might even be able to find a girlfriend more suitable for you."

"Well? Do you want to think about it?"

The man in the suit seemed to be whispering to Chen Che, but in fact, the people around him could still hear him clearly.

Chen Che was wearing a chest microphone, and the live broadcast room could also be heard clearly.

[Haha, there's a good show to watch now. Chen Che can't refuse, right?]

[This guy is so generous. Looks like he's Lin Xi's hardcore suitor!]

[Chen Che, who picked up money and clothes, 100,000 dollars is definitely a huge sum to him!]

[I bet Chen Che will definitely agree!]

While the netizens were discussing, the organizers started the quiz again.

[Will Chen Che compromise because of money?]

[Yes vs. No]

The topic had just reached the top when the netizens quickly participated. The proportion of people who voted for 'Yes' was actually as high as 90%.

Only a small number of people chose 'No'. In their opinion, Chen Che was sincere to Lin Xi and would not change for money.

At the same time, Lin Xi, who was upstairs, was also watching this scene.

She originally wanted to go downstairs to stop the man in the suit, but now, like the netizens, she was looking forward to Chen Che's answer.
